AFFLICTION

10 ~ [Not Hallucination]

LEERA POV

He's approaching towards the stage, towards me in a calm manner... taking small intimidating steps.

I am shocked and scared to core. Starring at him with big eyes.. is this even real? Or again it's just one of those hallucinations? I could faint in any moment

He got up the stage and shook hands with the professors.. they all greeted him kindly and warmly while smiling. He greeted back... a coldness was present in his tone and personality

Fuck! This is happening for real!? Not any hallucination! What am I going to do... my head stopped working

Then he took steps towards me.. coming near me. I stunned in my place unable to breath or even move

Our eyes met! After such a long time.... 2 years? Mesmerising grey against hazel brown!

His eyes didn't show any emotion, totally blank... he didn't seem to be astonished or something like that after meeting my eyes.. All I found was coldness and lukewarmness

I was literally starring at him like a absolute manic and so was everyone.. he was just infront of me.. I didn't know what to do

Suddenly one of my professor came by my side and whispered in my ear "Leera! Flowers! Flowers!" In a low tone only I could hear

Yeah I was supposed to give him flowers.. I was like ooh

Then I forwarded my hands which was holding a flower boutique in it.. the next second my hands started shaking and the flower boutique was about to fall from my hands

Before it could fall from my hands, he caught it. Our eyes fixed at the flowers... then slowly his eyes came up again. Our eyes met again!

"Leera! What are you doing" professor harshly whispered in my ear again in a very low tone... bringing me back to my senses

"G..Goodmorning...ing Sirrr" I said before thinking anything. Shittt! What did I just say!?

"Goodafternoon" he uttered in a harsh and cold tone, starring at me

I'm unable to breath or think straight... I'm literally messing things up.. but I need to talk to him, a small talk in a warm and proper way as my professor said

I slowly forwarded one of my hand. "I..I'm Leera,, Leera Ellis Reilly" I muttered in a low voice, all professors already giving death glances to me... I need to do this well ahhh

He shook my hand in a tight grip not breaking the eye contact. I gulped.. the grip was so fucking tight like he wanted to break my hands and as well as kill me just by his glances

"Nice to meet you Miss Reilly" he said catching me off guard, still I tried my best to keep my posture and think straight

After he left my hand from his tight grip... I took a long breath and prepared myself to speak with senses

"Sir, it's a big honour for us to have you in this event. Thankyou for sparing some time from your busy schedule for coming here. We would be glad if you share some if your ideas, thoughts and expectations with us. We would be very glad to hear you out" - I said all of these in one go

"Sure, that's what I'm here for" he said in a rough voice starring coldly at me

I indicated him towards the speech stand and he moved there taking intimidating steps. I must admit he looked breathtaking handsome and formal in that blue suit as well as his cold attitude and personality were giving an intimidating image of him

"Leera, go take your seat" professor muttered and I went back to my seat

Levi and Aria seemed shocked too. We all had no idea Azezal was the trustee of our University. They both stared at me with amazed eyes as I took steps and came near to them to take my seat. I took my seat beside Levi and Aria was at his other side. He gave me a reassuring look with eyes and gesture telling me to relax and nothing will happen. I tried to relax and breath normally
