The breakfast hall is bubbling with all the family members.

Megha's mother keeps on filling my plate and Megha sits beside me.

My eyes darting towards the entrance door constantly in the search of someone.

I feel so restless, so agitated over his absence.

Although yesterday they told me that he has got a new girlfriend but I'm not ready to believe it.

He cannot do that with me.

I know he is single

I trust him, if he had someone special in his life he wouldn't have crossed boundaries with me.

But I need to talk with him.

So I take the leap and after much overthinking finally ask Megha
" Where is Riddhimaan sir? Won't he come today ? "

" No, I heard that he will be going to Mumbai for some seminar or conference, he's busy with all those work " She answers while stuffing her mouth with the food.

" Ohhhhh !! " I sigh out feeling dejected.

After completing the breakfast I come to my room, but relaxation  is miles away from my mind.

I've to go to University but I can't focus.

Why am I feeling like this ?

He is not my boyfriend neither my lover ?

I don't have any rights over him, no relationship with him, still it's stinging in my heart.

Maybe I am letting my mind wander too much over him.

I shouldn't give him this much importance, he's just my professor, it was just a normal crush that's it.

He has his own life, I have my own. Let's not dwell over it so much.

I'm here to study, to do something with my life, I can't waste my time over a man who is least interested in me. I cannot disappoint my mammam.

I round around the corner near the cafeteria, and I see a cluster of my senior girls are huddled together, discussing about something , their voices sometimes low and then suddenly sharpens with laughter.

I know their names, I've seen them in Fresher's.

Maybe I can join them because they are really nice and sweet ,  But as I move closer, the topic of their conversation snags on my ears, and I halt my steps.

“Seriously, bro ,” Juli laughs , her voice hushed but then she animates with her palm “Professor RDO is… wow. Like, wow wow. Have you seen him in that white tailored shirts and navy pants? " She fans her face.

" And the way he explains quantum physics? It’s almost… sensual.”

Sarah giggles, nudging Juli playfully. “Sensual physics? You’re going to fail the class for being distracted by his biceps and maybe his ahem ahem .”
