Mr. Professor

Chapter 3

The next day morning pragya was curling up on her bed & in deep slumber when she felt someone banging on the door.

"Bhai! Can you check who the fuck was that? Don't they know not to bang on someone's door at mornings?" Pragya shouted & woke up.

No reply came. Maybe Bhai went to office already. She thought to herself & walked towards the door.

"Hey sexy!" Akshati cheerfully wished Pragya.

"Stfu! Half of the times you're roaming here only. Why don't you just marry my bhai & settle here. Atleast the money you give for cab will be saved" pragya hissed.

Wow! A pretty good deal, but only if your Bhai has some good taste in girls" akshati sighed.

"Shut up! Straight to the point. What brought you here? pragya snapped.

"Hey! Grumpy baby! Your Bhai called me. He said you need help in moving your things out. That's why I'm here. Now tell me where are you moving out without telling me? College hostel? bad idea" akshati guessed then added "First let me in!" telling this she made her way inside.

Without no other way pragya shut the door & joined Akshati on the couch.

"Akshu! Idk what's happening with me. Everything seems filmy & unreal" Pragya said & pondered into the happenings of the last day.

"Earth to pragya!" Akshati snapped. "Don't tell me that your crush landed in your home yesterday despite
of landing in your heart" Akshati snickered.

"he did" pragya mumbled.

"what?" akshati said in a shocked whisper. "fill me in" akshati curiously said clearly not understanding anything.

Pragya explained in detail. Akshati is the only one she can vent her heart out. Akshati's brows raised in
amusement of the unreal events but also felt pity for Pragya. Her crush crushed her life in a single day.

That day evening:

Pragya & Akshati successfully moved her things to purab's study aka pragya's new bedroom. Except some things like cupboard, bed. That room is small but Pragya's bed is king sized one. So that room doesn't have space for her bed. But Purab already promised about her being comfort on that new room. So till he provides AC, bed & all, pragya is just hoping that she could sleep on the floor for a couple of days. She & akshati settled on the kitchen counter with their coffees. They heard a soft knock on the door. If it was purab he has key, won't be knocking. so it might be
abhi. Pragya thought. She went to the door & opened it. There were two men from package & movers standing right in front of the door. She guessed it from their uniforms.

"what do you want?" pragya asked in a gentle tone hiding her anger. Abhi already started the procedures
to move in.

"Mam! Abhishek sir sent us. If you allow us can we unload all the things in his new room?" he politely asked.

Pragya stood there silently burning in anger. Akshati who came there noticed the men. She let them in &
showed Pragya's vacant room aka Abhi's new room.

After an hour, pragya saw the keyhole moving. She knows it's purab & his fucking friend. Pragya noticed some bags in both purab & Abhi's hands. Shopping bags. "he's a shopping freak it seems. Now too they're coming from a mall. He's having money for everything. But can't afford a place to rent. What a fucking joke? Manh! His watch itself seems like costs in lakhs. He's just lying & bhai is believing him"
pragya thought to herself. "Fucking moron" she cussed under her breath. Abhi lip read what she cussed & he grimaced. Yet he chose to remain silent. Both entered their flat.

"Hey girls" purab greeted akshati & pragya.

Pragya remained silent. While akshati returned the same energy as pragya. Even she didn't liked how purab is treating pragya. C'mon it's unfair. Purab understood their unresponsiveness. He spoke.

"Akshati, this is my friend Abhishek!" he introduced abhi to Akshati.

"hello" Akshati's tone reflected her disinterest.

"Hey!" abhi said awkwardly understanding the tone difference in akshati's voice. Purab spoke once again to fill in the awkwardness spread all over there.
"Pragya! We already ate. You & Akshati either order & eat. Or cook some noodles or pasta. Good night"
saying this he grabbed Abhi's hands & hurried towards his room.

"Abhishek! I'm sorry for what had happened now! I was..." Abhi cuts purab & says "Purab! We should give her some time. I can understand"

Purab hugged abhi gently. "All the best for your new job".

"Thanks buddy" abhi said earnestly.

Pragya couldn't sleep that night. That room seemed like hell. She fell asleep around 4am. But here she's. It's already 7.30. Her college is at 9. If she don't wake up now, she will be late for her college. The alarm was kept snoozing from past half an hour. But she couldn't open her eyes. She heard a knock on the door.

"Bhai! Am I allowed to skip college today?" she asked sleepily.

"No. You're not!"
The voice came sternly. Oh wait! It's not Bhai. It's that stupid.

"Who are you to order me?" she asked anger flaring up. "I'm your Bhai like" Even though abhi didn't liked the idea of her calling him Bhai, he has no choice tho. Pragya lost it after hearing the word Bhai. The door opened with a thud & revealed an
angry pragya.

"The fuck. What did you just said? I can't accept you as my bhai. I already told you stupid" pragya rambled. She added "What about being my daddy? You're a daddy material!" pragya blurted out.

It took her some time to register what just fell from her mouth. Abhi looked at her up & down. She was wearing a loose tshirt which was clinging on one shoulder revealing
the other one with no lingerie on her upper body. And was wearing a denim shorts which revealed her creamy thighs. The fact that he's checking her out made her blush. But then only a thought strikes her. She shouldn't be blushing. She should be angry. She snapped in front of him & spoke.

"Were you checking out me?" pragya asked faking her anger.

Despite of answering her he handed her a chit. It read "Pragya this is your first day. Please don't skip college. I made breakfast too. It's on the table. Will meet you evening. Love you. Bye - Purab"

Pragya groaned reading that. "I've never seen someone so annoying like you" she declared & walked off.

She is going to have a very long day.
