Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all.
Emily Dickinson.
A smile is said to be the most beautiful asset without which a girl is incomplete, and keeping that most important jewel on her lips, Karishma made her way in the corridor pushing aside the tendrils of her loosely done bun. She was happy and excited for some unusual reason since the second, Udit gave his consent for her help and she didn't knew, why?
"Karishma, you are going ahead of the place!" She heard Sheena's voice behind her. Biting her lips, she turned around with a sheepish smile playing on her face, which amused Sheena to the core.
Sheena made her way to the girl who was flushing without any reason. "May, I know how come this perfect girl lost her way?"
"I was just thinking about something so went ahead. Nothing much". Karishma replied playing with the end of her long silk scarf, which was tugging at her one shoulder matching her pink, dress.
"Something or someone?" Sheena asked in a playful voice which made Karishma's cheeks turn strawberry pink.
"Amm by the way is it done?" Karishma asked back, changing the topic further not wanting to feel more embarrassed already.
"I have done it but do you think, he isn't going to blast you in pieces?" Came the scared and fearful voice which amused Karishma.
Karishma started laughing understanding the tension that was circulating in Sheena's mind. At first, she was scared too, for the plan she made, but after the healthy conversation they shared the previous day, along with the earlier morning time in which he teased her, calling a Female Sherlock simply because she won in the activity once again, she was positive.
"Ms. Sheena, don't be scared. He is just a normal guy with little complicated personality, but still he is a human who has a beautiful heart". She consoled with a confident and determined look on her face. Sheena scrutinized the smile on Karishma's face, which didn't diminished even when she wasn't speaking.
It seemed to her that, her soul has finally found its real destination!
"If you insist so". She replied and taking hold of Karishma's hand, she started for Udit's room, hoping Against hope that he was going to appreciate the things, Karishma was doing for him without anything in return.
Taking a deep breath, Sheena raised her hand to knock on the door, but before that only, the room door opened, and the smell of his cologne hit their nostrils making them blush. How unusual for an instructor to blush smelling her students cologne, but who won't if the situation is so damn hilarious?"
"Udit, how did you know we were on the door?" Sheena fired her queries as a frown appeared on Udit's face, as he realized their presence infront of him. Karishma kept her head down as shyness was clear on her face.
"I didn't knew you were here. I was going to the dining hall since the bell rang". He reasoned. Sheena chuckled seeing the expressions that were crossing on the couples face every now and then.
"Well before you ask, Karishma is with me". She noticed the features of his face becoming extremely soft from that he was showing himself the other day morning. She wondered what magic did Karishma even do to bring this Three sixty degree change in him? But her own mind made her realize that she was God gifted and her strength was outstanding, hence there was nothing that can't be melted by her.
"Why are you both here between?"
"Well since you didn't got your lesson in the evening as she was busy, so she is going to do that now. Come with us". Sheena answered as Karishma held her hand for support and before, Udit could argue, she held Udit's hand, and dragged them with her.
