Professor

Days passed beautifully with me and Vikram going out. Sometimes we go out with kids. We as a family completed our family deity trip as well.

My parents and brothers were informed already about Vikram arrival. I was supposed to go back to my house. But Vikram sir said he would drop me at my house after all these tour programs are finished. 

I have applied for my master degree in few colleges and I am waiting for the results. Now that Vikram is here , I wanted to do the Masters in Chennai but everyone convinced me to do that in Bangalore.

2 years without Vikram in the same college seemed so difficult for me. Hence I wanted to do that in different college.

In the next 2 days , I would be travelling to Hosur as I have my college reopening next week.  Tomorrow we have a function to attend  as well. 

"Chellam, I have not yet joined the college la. I will try applying for a college in Chennai. what say?" 

"no Chellam. Better do it there. I have found a nice University for you. Do your masters there"

"But why? Why do we need to live separately again? Why can't you join as Professor in the same college as mine in Bangalore? We can revive our old memories again freshly"

"no Harini. We both should not be in the same college. I am not going to agree for that. Even if I join a college in Bangalore, it would be for a different one , not the same as yours. For now , I have got a nice offer  in Chennai and I am happy about that. "

"Chellam .. please. even then why can't I join in different college in chennai. That way we both will be in same house, yet in different college" 

"no Harini. just 2 more years. After that we both are going to be together. So no issues. I am saying it for a reason. You study in Bangalore while I will be in Chennai. We can meet often during holidays and festival period."

I hugged his torso and buried my head on his chest. He caressed my hair.

"love you chellam" he said.

"I hate you chellam. You are so mean. Not allowing me to stay along with you"

Already I hate the thought that we both are living in separate rooms even now. I feel awkward to ask or say to anyone , even with Vikram sir to inform others that we both will stay in same room. 

But right now, I voiced out my opinion unable to control myself. Separating me , he looked at my face. 

"from tonight onwards we are going to stay together. I sneakily heard my parents talking about it" he chuckled.

"Really?" I exclaimed in surprise.

Though it is going to be for two or three days that we both will stay in same room, I am happy about it. 

I packed few clothes for Vikram sir from his cupboard for the travel along with the gifts that he has brought. 

"Chellam.. but I wanted your help to take some revenge on them" he said while arranging the suitcase with the items.

"Revenge?on whom and why?"  I asked rummaging his cupboard for the clothes.

"my Bro and his friends. They teased me a lot on our first night. And my bro specifically for cursing me about my first night delay long time back"

"Curse? when did that happen?"

"that was long ago. Like when he was married, I played some prank and he cursed me that my first night would be delayed for first 3 months. Even your friends cursed me about my first night. All are cruel people. Their curse worked on me"
