Exqees.. No no EXQUISITE"

She was stressing hard to spell it out.



"Ughh!! What the hell is wrong with me? Why can't-"



"What has put you in trouble Avani? "

A hostel mate cut her off when she was lost in scolding herself.


Avani was not sure whether she could trust her or not nevertheless she proceeded to tell her difficulty.



"Actually there is a word, I've to find the meaning of it and I can't recall the word"

She does remember the word but didn't know how she will tell her.

"No worries, I hope you remember at least few letters of it or at least how it is spelled, then it will be easy for us to figure it out"


"Ohh"

"I think it starts with E and it goes like"

"EX-KYU-SIT"


the hostel mate repeated again and laughed.

"Avani, it's more like Ex kyu tum bait gayi? "


She didn't even finish what she wanted to say.

And then it hit her, the way she spelled it out was just weird.


Perhaps it wasn't, but still the way she was laughing made her embarrassed and all she could do was lower her head, she wished she didn't tell her issue.



"What ever the word is, despite my vocabulary being vast, I can't make out what it is.Take my phone and find it on google"



All the time she was laughing hard.



Avani had no other option and took her phone, she typed the word and then got the meaning honestly she wasn't expecting.

EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL AND DELICATE



Her cheeks reddened as deep as crimson. It felt strange.

How he can say that to her, just like that?

Every day.

Every minute.

Every second.

It's getting difficult for her.

She is getting pulled by him as if he possess a magnet in him perhaps he is a magnet himself.

She had absolute no idea what he has for her

Friendship or something else.

It sounded more of Situationship for her.

All these thoughts were running all over her head, suddenly the phone was snatched by her hostel mate .


"Thank you very much"

She said with a genuine smile but the only reply she got was a frown.




The very next day, it was Sunday so she didn't go to college but all she wanted to do was ask him why he said that.

Her primary school teacher came to her college to speak with her.

She has been a source of affection for her.

"Avani beta, how are you? "

"I am fine teacher"

She replied with politeness.


Her eyes spoke innocence which soften her teacher's gaze.

"You haven't changed a bit Avani."

She chuckled while saying.

Avani gave her a shy smile.


"Avani, I am going to London to meet my son. I don't know when I'll come back.

I hope you remember that I teach in our school and even give classes to a MLA's daughter in the evenings, I want you to teach her instead of me, will you?"



"Teacher, I haven't taught anyone in my whole life time and I have no experience as well how can I-"



"Avani, the real teachers who have good knowledge don't need any sort of teaching course, got it? "


"I know your financial position. It will be a good source of income and when it comes to that girl, she studies well. So don't worry about it. "

She poured in her concern.

"Okay teacher. "

Avani unreluctantly said yes as it would help her financially considering her current situation.


"Then, I'll take you to their home tomorrow. For now, I 'll take a leave Avani"


Immediately Avani bent down to touch her feet and murmured

"Thank you very much teacher you've been a mother figure to me"

She expressed her gratitude.


"Avani, you're such a sweet child hope God gives you immense happiness"

She said while lifting her up and embracing her.


Avani felt so good that her eyes welled up.


She controlled the urge of crying her heart out because she had been feeling void since the moment she was born.


Her teacher patted her forehead and left.


A new wave of excitement and anxiousness hit her thinking about the new career it's consequence on her fragile life.
