"you want to work on feminism?", Zeeshan asked as Maheen just handed him the initial report she had prepared.
"yes", she was completely disinterested and somewhere Zeeshan was getting worked up. "are you a feminist?', he asked reading the two pages and she shook her head in disapproval, "no"
"then how do you think you can work on a topic you don't believe in?'
"because I have started the work and I don't want to start it from scratch all over again"
"you call these two pages as work?', this time Zeeshan left his soft tone and Maheen glared at him due to his harsh voice., "yes I do", her reply was equally stiff and the very next moment she shifted her attention to her nails.
"Maheen this is not a beauty-saloon, kindly give your nails rest", he was getting irritated and Maheen smiled, this was what she wanted to do, break his confidence.
"okay!!", she sat properly and started looking at him intently. Her motive was to make him nervous but she misinterpreted Zeeshan's attitude. He looked back with equal intensity and Maheen lowered her eyes, his penetrating eyes again scared her and Zeeshan smiled, "don't try to act smart with me", he was still staring and maheen looked at him though the corner of his eye.
"I am smart, I don't need to act", she replied casually but she knew she wasn't succeeding,
"good , I like smart students and now back to work!, have you read D.H Lawrence?"
"no"
"then read!!, I need you to finish at least three of his works within the next two weeks, with a detailed study of his biography. You are doing your thesis on the Written Art of D.H Lawrence."
He spoke in one go and started writing, leaving Maheen completely dumbfounded.
"I haven't read a single word of D.H Lawrence and you want to do my thesis on him?"
"certainly YES!", he smiled sweetly and maheen felt like smashing his face.
"You have gone mad!",her voice was offensive and Zeeshan shifted his eyes to her,
"behave yourself!"
"First you learn talking sense, how on earth will i..
"B-E-H-A-V-E Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F", he chewed every syllable, the pitch of his voice was still low, but the strictness in his tone made maheen conscious, "alright!, but how will I work on a person I have no idea"
"you have six months, and I am asking you to read just three ' books , that is it!!"
"but ..
"but what?"
He was smiling and Maheen was looking at him helpless, 'which books?", she finally surrendered, and zeeshan grabbed his note pad and scribbled down the names, "here", he handed her the names and maheen spoke them aloud.
"Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, and Women in Love"
"yes , these three books!"
She again looked at him, with a frowned forehead, but she knew there is no way out with this person.
"okay I'll just issue ..
"no issuing!!, you are buying the books!", he calmly corrected her and she just huffed
'and now is this also an obligation?"
"yes!,", his smile was constant on his face and maheen was getting deep into dilemma of how to handle this unique person
"alright!, I'll buy, although I don't understand the logic behind it, but if you have a weird instructor than you ought to do such weird things, right?", her remark was sarcastic, but zeeshan just adored the way she looked cute frowning.
"absolutely right! - weird instructor, weird student, weird topic , this is going to be a weird thesis", he spoke lyrically counting every part on his fingers and for a moment maheen just stared, but the very next moment, her lips curved, "you are so funny!", and she started laughing.
Zeeshan's whole world came to a halt for a second. Her smile is a slice of heaven, he thought. Her eyes twinkled and her cheeks glowed, the musical melody of her laugh and the magical glint of her face. She appeared a whole new maheen with just a flicker of happiness.
The first day he saw this girl, he was wondering what was missing. She was beautiful, smart , young, well dressed, educated, but there was something that missed, something hich needed to filled, and today he realized what missed. Seeing her complete, he realized that what she missed was a smile ' a reason to smile. This girl is not happy. Finally Zeeshan Ali came to a conclusion, and during the time maheen's curve vanished, "okay bye, I'll see come back after two weeks, after completing the reading", she said and quickly left the room and now Zeeshan craved to see that heavenly sight again.
"Her smile is addiction."
