|| Missing each other! ||

***

Morning came very quick and that too the day was Monday. Obviously the week would start with loads of work in college. Today, Lasya missed him especially his teasing as she didn't see him in the college bus. She thought he might have missed it and she thought to meet him in the college. But to her dismay, she didn't get a glance of him even there.

'where is he? Didn't he come to college today?' she thought while walking and didn't see who was coming in front of her thus dashing together.

'ouch' Lasya squealed rubbing her forehead.

"Hey La, what were you thinking?" Pooja, her friend looked at her confused but giggled though seeing her rubbing her forehead.

"Where were you lost? You didn't see me coming and still you are in your train of thoughts" She complained by making a face.

"Uh...no. no... nothing like that" Lasya stuttered at first then she made up. 

"I was just thinking about the upcoming event and it's presentation. That's it" she said little tensed.

"Oh come on, we all know how much you work and dedicate yourself for that, so believe in yourself and have immense will power as it will boost your confidence and help you to overcome all this silly fears and tensions" Pooja came near her and patted her shoulders, "you will win it in the Nationals. Don't worry. Be cool" she said with a smile.

"I guess so. I don't want to be an embarrassment in front of the whole country and be a shame for our college so yeah, I am working very hard so is Shravas" Lasya looked at her with wide eyes and asked "by the way did you see him today? I want to talk regarding the hard copy of the presentation"

"No re, I didn't see him. When I was coming here, I heard someone talking to him over the phone as I heard saying his name so I guess he must be on leave. Anyway I am leaving to library and we shall meet up in the cafeteria for evening coffee" saying this Pooja went away leaving behind Lasya with her thoughts in the lobby of the college.

Lasya still kept a smile on her face while listening to all her lectures. After all she is the favourite student in the department. One of her teacher who takes the subject of digital image processing, has asked her to prepare a small seminar on a small topic within the academics so that it can help students to identify the benefits in DIP easily.

"Lasya, I would like you to prepare a seminar in a way your friends could understand the real time benefit from this image processing. So you pick a topic that you feel more suitable for the recent days and make a good presentation with the subtle points so it will be easy to understand. When can it be ready?", her DIP teacher asked. 

"Okay maam. I will make it ready by tomorrow", Lasya enthusiastically said as she love taking seminars. 

As soon as bell rang for the interval, Lasya quickly visited the library and got the required books for the next day seminar. Soon she sat and started jotting down the important points to be included in the slides. At home she will just arrange it accordingly.  

Like wise day ends and Lasya meets the night when she finally succumbs to bed after the hectic day. She checked her mobile once again for any message from Shravas but didn't see it. She sighed heavily.

Meanwhile during the day, Shravas was in the bed full day since he was attacked by the viral fever. So his family doctor had asked him to stay on the bed for at least 3 days until the temperature decreases down. His mom takes care of him very well but still he was also missing someone very badly.
