CHP 1~

I was one of those girls who kept themselves immersed in the world of Korean dramas, which showed some unrealistic scenes of love and romance and how the men there treat their women which undoubtedly increased my level of expectations and as usual, those expectations touched the sky and went through the clouds to meet the stars and was way even higher. It was my first day of tuition after a long stay at home for two years. And unexpectedly it happened to be my English tuition, where it all started. 

When I first entered the room, there were two boys, one was my classmate back in 6th grade, and the other was a new student who transferred here last year. I entered the room, and found myself a chair where I sat down nervously as the teacher was a school teacher. The teacher was checking the homework of the other two boys and I stayed quite. Then suddenly a really tall boy entered the room. His father dropped him here. He got in and sat in a chair right in front of me across the table. 

- He is Arsan! That boy with whom I bumped into back in the 6th grade while returning from swimming class! He grew so tall in the past two years! Undoubtedly he has got some strong genes running through his blood, I see.

The class began. I tried to focus on my literature stories and honestly, I liked the teachers explanation so much. Everyone was focused on the teacher, except me. Something was pricking my sixth sense. I felt like someone is staring at me for a really long time. When I lifted my  gaze, I found Arsan staring at me. He looked aside when I looked at his eyes. And this continued for the whole time. It seemed like we were playing some kind of 'hide and seek' but with eyes. The class ended. While returning, I was thinking about what he found strange in me that he kept on staring at me the entire class. I couldn't sum it up at all. That night ended like that.

*The next Thursday*

It was again time for my English tuition today. But this morning was different. My mum was always afraid of boarding the train, and the reason, well she never told us that. She suddenly realized that she could find Arsan's mum's phone number in one of the group, and decided to call her. I was so shocked as to why she wanted to call her. She tried to reach her a few times, but she never accepted the call. I guessed that the reason might be because she found it to be an unknown number and was trying to ignore the call thinking it was a fraud. But my mum was no less. She kept on calling and after several tries, she picked up the call. 

-Hello! Are you Arsan's mum?

- Yeah! But why?

-Oh, I am Amira's mum, and I wanted to know if your son also goes to Ms. Evelyn for English tuition. 

- yes, he attends her classes, but why all of a sudden?

-well, you see My daughter Amira, recently joined her classes, and has been liking her lectures. But you see, the distance between my home and her tuition center is very long. And travelling everyday with road transportation is very costly. And I am very much afraid of boarding the train. So, will you please accompany us to the English tuition for this single day every week?

- Oh sure! Even I felt so tired of living in the home all day. This would be a great chance for me to get out!

- That's great!! Thank you so much! Would you please inform me the train timings every Thursday?

- Sure! Why not?

*The conversation continues with other related topics*

I sighed. The moms are never tired of speaking continuously. But one thing that struck my mind was, where Arsan lived. Well, I thought of not to think much right then and continued with my morning chores. But all of a sudden, a certain kind of feeling went through all over my mind and body, I tried to figure out what that was. But failed. I ignored it knowing that it wasn't normal for me to feel such things.
