Ms. Sweet and Mr. Caring

9. Sleeping like an Angel

Sanya's PoV

After having so many talks with Professor while climbing, I feel so relaxed. All the time he helped me on our way, I was about to fall and break my head in small river; I slipped because of moss on rock, don't know where my mind was wandering. But thankfully he saved me by holding my hands firmly and helping me to again place my legs firmly on ground in that rigorous flow of river water. I feel so protected when he's near me. He makes everything so easy for me. I think I'm falling for him. Or I'm crushing on him, 'obviously he's hot, handsome but he is still my Professor and I'm just student for him! Don't think like that Sanya! There is nothing like that! He just cares for you because you are his student' my inner self screams at me.

After about 3 hrs spending in waterfall, all were getting ready to return to bus. So, we got up from that place and started walking back and as it was forest, the darkness will first cover the thick parts of forest which are covered with huge tree canopies. It was already 5:30 PM in evening. Sun was going down. We tried to walk little faster. Same as earlier Professor Aman was with me having conversations. Honestly it was the first time I was feeling so comfortable and safe in talking with guy whom I have met just few months ago. Now we had reached a point in midway where we are required to climb through uneven rocks, they were too rough and as it was little dark, don't know how but my leg started bleeding, I didn't even felt it's hurt until Professor Aman was startled "Girl, you are hurt, it's bleeding!" He kind of screamed with fear. When I looked at it, it made me tenses cause we are still left to walk about 20 minutes of route. He made me sit on a rock, he sat in front of me on his knees. He picked my leg "no sir, I'm fine.." I tried to assure him but he cut me "shut up! Its bleeding so badly. And you're saying its nothing. Let me apply atleast band-aid to it, so the blood stops flowing." He said commanding but there was little protective essence in his voice. It was drizzling and we were almost drenched in rain, and because of this blood was not stopping at all. All this while few girls were staring at us, as if we were doing some demonstration for them to stare at. "Hey, look what's happening there!" One girl smirked while saying this "This looks something more than Professor and student relation." Other added to her statement. I pretended that I didn't heard them but in reality I heard them clearly. I just didn't wanted to engage with them. They were really a bad company when it comes to ideal student comparison, their only thing is to do gossips nothing else. So, He stood up and extended his hands towards me. By this time those girls had vanished from there. I hold his hands and tried to stand up but, my leg was hurting badly. He understood it and he placed his left hand on my back to support me. Now my right hand was holding his right hand and his left hand was resting on my back to help me in walking. We were walking too slow and slippery roads made it more difficult. "Sorry Sir. Because of me you have wait.." he interrupted me "ahh.. it's nothing like that, don't worry. We'll reach the bus in a short. Be careful with it okay" he affirmed me looking at my leg.

..........

In next 5 minutes we were in our seats as earlier behind driver seat. He offered me a painkiller Mrs. Roma was eyeing at us but then she turned and went at her seat. Sir insisted me to take a small nap and he sat beside me on my seat. Bus started. We all were too tired. So most of the students took a nap till we reach college. Parents were called to pick students from college ground. I also tried to close my eyes and take a nap but my leg was sending me minor shivers of pain forcing me to come out of my nap. "Ummm.. it's unbearable.." I cried in agony. It was a cool and calm climate, a sudden cool breeze again hit my face. I again tried to close my eyes and go to sleep. This is the last thing I remember before I went completely blank.

Mr. Aman's PoV

She was struggling hard to take rest but it seems her leg was paining badly. It was clearly visible on her face. In few moments a cool breeze hit us, it was soothing feeling. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. After a minute or two she finally slept peacefully. I was looking at her divine face, she was looking like an angel child while sleeping. I just wanted this moment to freeze here, I wanted to admire her whole time. She hugged herself as she felt a streak of cold air from window. So, I covered her with a warm blanket, ensuring she don't get cold as we were almost drenched in rain already. After a while I also closed my eyes and tried to sleep for a while. Suddenly she landed her head on my right shoulder, before I could react anything, I saw her angel face resting on my shoulders and a slight smile on her lips, she snuggled a bit and wrapped her arms around my right hand. It was little inappropriate as a student and Professor to be in that posture, but I didn't felt like waking her up. And as there was no one to notice us; students and professor Roma were already half-slept except driver and his assistant who were also partitioned by glass panels. I eventually closed my eyes and took a short nap.

Sanya's POV

I felt my head was resting on someone, before realizing anything when I opened my eyes, my mind shouted 'Shit! I was taking a nap on my professor's shoulder, what will everyone think of me and him. If it got someone's attention fake rumours will spread like forest fire, ruining his career and reputation and I'll also would be expelled. Oh God! I should have been more careful.' I was restless all this while, I quickly took my hands off his arm and turned towards window and started to look outside. He also was awakened by my movements, he realised the situation and adjusted himself. In a short span, we reached college ground. I had called my brother to pick me up, I still had not told him about injury on leg. I didn't wanted to make him worry about me. Professor stood up clapping his hands to wake up students from their nap. "Wake up students! We are on college ground. Get down carefully it's dark outside. It was around 10 PM in night. Students slowly took their stuff and climbed down the bus and rushed to their parents to head directly to home. He instructed turning towards me when I was about to get up from seat to climb down the bus "Wait. Let them go first you go last, otherwise you'll hurt your leg" he said more in a concerned way. I nodded in an agreement. All were down he then helped me to get down the bus. He was standing outside the bus door extending me his hand, I slowly held his hand. He tightened the grip as I was stepping down. "Are you alright?" He asked again. "Yeah. I'm fine" I reassured him. Now the pain was little lessened and I was able to walk slightly. But still Professor was walking beside me for my safety. My bro caught my sight. I looked at him and smiled. He looked tensed looking me and then at my leg he approached towards me and put his hands on my back to support me "Hey princess what happened? What's all this?" He was sad and started questioning continuously. Professor interrupted him "She just got a bruise on her leg by some uneven rocks" he tried to assure my bro not worry much. At first Bro eyed at Professor "you...?!" "Umm. I'm Professor Aman Sharma, I'm her class mentor and HOD" he introduced himself to my bro. "I'm Shekhar Singh, Sanya's elder brother" bro smiled at him in a relieved manner. Bro opened the car door and let me sit, then he took my bag and kept it at backseat. After closing my door, bro turned towards Professor. They did guy's handshakes greeting 'Good night' and bro went towards driving side. I looked st Professor "Thank you Sir. And Good night" I showed appreciation for his help. "Good night Ms. Sanya. Take care" he said in response.
Then we drove to my house and after taking a shower, I replaced the band aid with proper medication and after that I took a rest on my bed.
