Quite a long chapter ahead.

Days went fast. Vikram sir gives a tough competition to actor Vikram in 'anniyan' movie. He is very cold and rigid in College. But when it is after college , while conversing or chatting with me in phone , he is completely a different persona. Very romantic I must say.
No matter what, he keeps professional and personal separate.
avara maari lan nambalala epavum padipu padipu nu iruka mudiyadhu paa. ipo kooda edho padichundrukaar.. so only for half an hour he speaks with me.
(I can't be like him always studying , studying. Even now he is studying some course. So he gets time only for half an hour to speak with me)
But I enjoy my college days a lot. I do allocate time to study. Because I will never forget the struggle I had to face to join this university.
Today, me and my friends went to have lunch in the canteen. I decided to open up about my relation with Professor Vikram.
We opened our boxes and started eating. I was contemplating on whether to say that now or later, as we had other students in the canteen. I then decided to talk about it later in the ground when we sit for some talks.
We moved to the ground and sat on the bench near by. I slowly started the topic about us.
"hmm.. girls.. I have a secret to share.. Hope you both don't mistake me for hiding it or get angry"
Both gave a scrutinizing gaze at me. "What were you hiding so far?" Samyu interrogated me with a serious look.
"promise me that you both won't stop talking to me for hiding this"
"I can't promise just like that. Tell me what it is" Meghana demanded me.
After much hesitation I revealed it.
"I am actually engaged"
"whatttt??" samyu shocked.
"woah..w oah..." Meghana exclaimed
"when ? with whom?How did it happen? why you did not say it before ?" Samyuktha added so many questions
"Spill each and every single thing" Meghana ordered me.
"Last time, when I went to Chennai. It ... it was actually for my engagement"
"you mean that Mehendi that you had in your hand? Which you lied that it is for your cousin marriage?" Meghana asked.
I nodded my head as 'yes"
"drogi.. you did not even tell us. How could you do that? Did you know him already or was it sudden and you were forced?" Samyuktha asked with concern.
I wanted to reveal and at the same time not. So I told only half of the truth hiding the information that me and Vikram sir were already in love before the marriage proposal.
"it is an arranged marriage by my parents. They are the one who chose. So I agreed" I spoke with little fear and hesitancy for lying to them.
"ei.. Harini.. your eyes are hiding something. What is the real matter? tell me? Who is that guy?"
"hmm.. its.. uhm.. ahemm.. uhmm.. Vikram sir"
"Ohh.. Vikram sir ah.." both said lethargically and in the next second they realized and parted their lips and eyes in wide shock.
"Whattttttt?? Vikram sir ahhhhhhh? " The both shouted in high pitch and I closed their mouth and shushed them.
Taking my hand both exclaimed.
