SYLLABUS OF LOVE

DRIZZLE WHISPERS

"Alright then... If you really can't remember names, you can call me Karishma ma'am or even just ma'am is fine," Karishma revealed with a smile playing on her lips.

Haseena looked confused and glanced at her classmates,"Ma'am?"

Pooja informed her, "Ye humare elective subject ki new professor hai. Karishma ma'am!"

"What??" Haseena said in shock, realizing she had just flirted with her new professor. She stood there, stunned, as the reality of the situation sank in. "Tum... I mean aap... Humari lecturer."

Karishma said, moving towards the board."Haan... It was nice to meet you, Haseena. Ab wapis jao apni jagah par jao!"

Haseena said slowly to Santu and Misri sitting beside her,"I don't believe she is our lecturer... She is so young!"

Overhearing the statement, Karishma turned towards the class, reaching near the board, and made eye contact with Haseena. "You better believe it now. Sorry to inform you but ab tumhe mujhe jhelna padega."

Haseena was shocked that she heard but then putting on her witty side she said, "I don't mind... Seh lenge thoda sa, ma'am," she said obediently, stressing on the word ma'am.

Misri said mischievously, "Tujhe hi sehna hai,"

Karishma narrowed her eyes at her in confusion. "Kya matlab? Sirf Haseena kyu?"

Santu said with a grin,"Kyuki aap uske elective subject ki lecturer hai. Humari nahi."

Pooja said from the side row,"Toh hum jaye?"

Karishma said demands authoritatively,"No! Haseena, make a list of students of elective subjects and pass it on to me,"

Haseena said, as she never took any responsibility for class duties."Me? Ye kaam toh CR ka hai. Hum—" Correcting her word she continued, "Aap Pooja ko boliye... CR wo hai."

Santu teased her,"Come on, Hasu... Bas ek list hi toh hai,"

Haseena said authoritatively,"Pehle toh tum kutte matlabi dost class se niklo... This is my class!"

Misri punched Haseena's back and got off the bench,"Chal bey... Bas ek period ki baat hai,"

Karishma said sternly,"Excuse me!! Main abhi idar hi hoon. Mind your language both of you!"

Haseena said, kicking Misri's leg,"Sorry ma'am... You remove unnecessary people from the class then I will prepare the list,"

The class was shocked by Haseena's statement. Though the trio was favored by a few professors, they were never involved in responsibilities, especially Haseena. She believed that such tasks were not meant for her and she could potentially lose her cool while handling the class.

Karishma, maintaining her composure, addressed the class, "Alright everyone, let's focus. Haseena, please make that list and hand it to me. Everyone else please move out and rest settle down and let's get started with the class."

Haseena gave a sheepish grin, realizing she might have pushed her luck a bit too far. Misri, Santu, and a few other students were now outside the classroom. Both peered through the door, making funny faces at Haseena, who struggled to keep a straight face while jotting down names.

As the class began, the atmosphere slowly shifted from tense to light-hearted, with Karishma's teaching style starting to win over the students. Haseena, while scribbling the list, couldn't help but admire Karishma's ability to command the room with both authority and charm.

"Impressive..." Haseena muttered under her breath, her earlier embarrassment fading into a newfound respect.

From the door, Misri and Santu continued their antics, occasionally making Haseena stifle a laugh. Karishma, noticing the distraction, walked over to the door and with a playful smirk, closed it.
