Diya POV
We both got ready at the nick of time because you know its us and we love to waste some time in the morning cuddling. No, before you wink and blush, not me and Vikram, its me and Zyra, that little muchkin dint leave me in the morning and when he was about to hug me, she actually pushed him away from me, and shook her head to both sides telling us to take space. Though she enjoyed both of our attention she dint let us wish each other good morning, so once we were out of the house and in the parking lot, Vikram pulled me to him and gave me a bone crushing hug, a forehead kiss and a sweet good morning.
Once we reached the college he went to park his car and go to the staff room while I walked towards the class when everyone were pointing towards me in general and whispering. Was my kurti not matching with my legging or do I have something on my face ?
Once I walked to the main stadium area, a live size pictures of us were all attached to the walls of the college, those were our date pictures and we were looking pretty cozy with each other. A circle of people formed in front of me, some were looking at me surprised, some were jealous, some were making stories about me. They started saying some awful stuff about me getting close to a married man in general come on, who I am I kissing ? I spread the rumour that he was married to keep Vikram away from girls who were swooning over him now, they were assuming that I was having an affair with a married man.
The bitter things they were saying was not something I would like to hear, they looked at me like I was a train wreck, like I was a joke, one person actually pushed me saying I dint have a right to study here because I was doing a wrong thing, my books fell on the ground and my eyes filled with tears ... just when I started getting nervous, anxious and panicked about where should I hide my face, Vikram walked to that place, he looked at those pictures, the judgemental, frowning, gossiping crowd and then at me.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down and walked towards me, he picked the books up ,took my hands in his and handed those in my hand. He placed his hands on my cheeks and looked at me with concern
Vikram: Are you okay Diya ?
Yash: Oh look, the saviour comes in to save the damsel in distress. You are a married man and you are taking advantage of her ? You are acting all concerned for her but you have to know this is what happens when you break the rules and have a ugly affair with a young, immature student who was stupid enough to agree to whatever this is
Vikram: Yash, can you please shut up ? Without knowing the whole truth, if you assume stuff and say rude and irrelevant things then you would regret that for life.
Yash : What did I say that is so wrong ? I proposed to her, she dint accept it, I thought she was studious, touch me not person but who knew her ....
Vikram: Shut up !! Or else
By then the HOD came into the scene he looked at the ruckus outside the department and chided all of us for making a big scene
HOD: Both of you , if things like this comeout the scenarios are going to be like this, so nor Diya or you can stop that Vikram, do you have anything to say ?
Vikram: I am married
HOD: And, that is one of the reasons why you both are looked down upon and dont forget you have severe consequences
Vikram: Sir, you are not understanding, we are married, Diya and I
HOD: Are you making stories now ?
Vikram: I have proof, we got married way before Diya joined this college as a student, hell, we dint even know we were in the same college until I saw her as a student
He handed the marraige certificate to the HOD, and he revealed about the circumstances we were engaged to be married. I told him how I got this admission even before I got married and I only got to know he was a professor here after the wedding. That was not believable to them but we told them the circumstances we got married but HOD still looked unconvinced
Vikram: Sir, even when I was her professor I was always tough with her, I never favored her, even if she got a grade I always made sure I had enough reasoning to give her that. She had to work extra hard, and whenever she had her exams I made my collegue Senthil sir to correct her's you can ask him if you want. I was never biased towards her, infact when I started to fall in love with my wife I actually applied for another college and I got in. Here is the application letter, this was dated to the time when I was going to talk to you about that once we are done with the term. So, I hope you have no problem sir.
I looked at him shocked, he loved this job, he has been here since the beginning of his career, so he applied it the day he had to be mean to me in front of the whole class. The day I gave him a tough time, about not appreciating me in front of the class.
I was such an idiot, he wanted to have dinner and talk to me about something and I ignored him royally.
HOD: Vikram, you are a wonderful professor and everybody loves you. This is the first time we heard a rumour about you and it is your life's truth. In a way you applying for another job has helped us you know? So, that we dint have to take any other action. Diya, other than Vikram's class you have always scored well and done amazing in everything so we cant say that you got favored in fact from anonymous feedback we collected Vikram was always mean and rude to you always. So, until Vikram starts for next term, the class which Vikram takes for your class will be substituted by me. You dont have a problem with that, right Diya ?
He looked at me with almost teasing smile
Diya: Yes, anyways as you said the previous professor was pretty rude to me until recent times so this is the best thing to happen
Vikram glared at me and HOD laughed out loud
HOD: I love this
While we were smiling, Vikram turned towards Yash
Vikram: Those were our date pictures, I believe you were there around us to take those pictures and do this stupid deed. Me and Diya are a married couple so I believe for doing whatever you did you would be punished , what do you think sir
HOD: Yes, snooping on others, taking their pictures without their consent, insulting them and organizing a coup deserves a punishment. If you wanted to get the truth out you could have just told us the truth but you did all this ... first you have to apolozise to both of them profusely, you would be assisting with Vikram sir for all his classes, you would write us an apology letter and make yourself useful in a right way from now on, I am I clear?
Yash: Yes Sir
HOD: Good
Rest of the went off with Yash apologizing to me, Vikram giving updates to HOD so that he could take over the class and me getting curious glances from all , I can see they had a lot of questions, if they would have just asked me my side I would have been honest but the way they treated and insulted me, that is very bad.
In the evening we both stopped to have a chaat date and when we sat having the food, I was filled with gratefulness, he changed his job for me. I held his hand and kissed him on his cheek to express my gratefulness and he just blushed looking at the people looking at us
Vikram: Diya, to what do I owe this pleasure of a sweet kiss from my wife?
Me: I wanted to so I just did, so deal with it. You have a problem with that ?
Vikram: Nope , infact im happy, very happy indeed
