"Ahem! Ahem! So instead of dreaming about your husband, now you are dreaming about that arrogant bike lover. Good for you, you seriously need to change your mind about marrying that Ashwin." Lee started teasing me when I told her about my dream

"Shut up Lee, I'm engaged and moreover I just want to irritate that fellow."

"Count me in" Whenever comes to play pranks Lee is the first one to help

That whole day I keep on thinking ways to irritate my arrogant friend. My professor even kicked me out of the classroom because I was not paying attention to the lectures. I was roaming in corridor when I see him entering a class. I followed him and I also entered but couldn't save myself from professor's stare.

"I am sure you are not in my class miss?" He was not looking those scary types so I took my chance

"Professor I was wondering if I could enrol myself for...errr..." I stammered while glancing upon the board "for this music class. I am very fond of Indian music and I would love to learn it." I mentally pat my back for wonderful acting

"Yes my dear you can join my class anytime. Here fill this form and submit it to the administration department. As you are new so you can find yourself a partner who can help you to learn previous lessons." I took the form from his hands and thanked him. I looked at the small class of only 12 or maybe 13 students. He was sitting on the last bench, alone, engulfed in his own thoughts. I walked towards his seat and fill the space beside him. Everyone was staring me like if I had chose a ghost to be my partner. Maybe because he loves to be isolated that's why no one expected me to be his partner but he didn't paid any attention to me. He completely ignored my presence like I was not even present there. I hit him with my elbow to interuptt whatever he was doing and he ignored me again. I elbowed him again and again no response. I became totally frustrated by his behaviour and I pushed him. Thud! And he fall directly on the floor with a loud sound. Everyone started laughing and he give me deadly glare 'I will kill you' His eyes started burning with anger. Before before professor could say anything he clean his pants and sit on his place. Now he was staring me and I ignored him. His continuous stare makes me really uncomfortable. His eyes were blank like they were trying to hide something, something terrible maybe.

"Mr. Kartik.." professor's loud voice echoed in whole room. That was when he shifted his intense gaze from my face. "I called you three times. Now please stop ogling your new partner and come here on stage." He nodded like a two year old kid. He lifted his guitar my his side and started walking towards the stage. I didn't notice before that he has a guitar too.

"Play something for us. You are my favourite student." Professor patted his back

"Don't try to come near me,
you will burn your own self
If you will try to heal my pain,
my sins will stain your soul
Try to come in my world,
and you will only suffer
Leave me alone in my space,
which is dark, shady and lonely
You are so pure and innocent,
I will not be able to hold back"

Everyone started clapping when his song end except me. It was not like that I don't like it but the thing which was disturbing me was that he was staring into my eyes while he was singing. Was that lyrics for me and what did he mean by - I will not be able to hold back. His dark eyes were scaring me. There was something special about them which was intoxicating my nerves. He came and sit in his previous position.

"You sing really good." I tried to initiate conversation

"Thanks" he said without even looking at me

"Will you teach me to play guitar?"

"No"

"But why? You play it so well."

"Because I don't like you." His reply irritated me

"But you don't know me."

"Don't.."  he paused in middle

"What?"

"Don't try to come near me."

"I am not trying that either. I'm engaged." I said showing him my ring

"Good. Now please don't talk to me." This guy is a rude monster, I muttered under my breathe. Still better then Ashwin, my heart said.

After the class was over he lift his bag and guitar and started to leave. How can I let him go before me? I also lifted my bag and followed him and before he could leave class I kicked his leg with my heel and hurriedly left. When I turned around he was rubbing his leg and looking at me with his blank eyes.

"Where were you Kiara? We were looking for you in whole college." Lee and Nitin came from nowhere and now were blocking my way

"I will tell you but first go to our next class." I dragged Lee out of there. Professor was not in the class so I told them about today's incident. Both of them looked at me with a mixture of shocked and horrified expressions

"And he didn't do anything?"

"Nope" I popped 'p' a little more. Professor came and started with his lessons. As we couldn't talk anymore Lee passed me a chit.

"I think it's enough now. We should not do anything more to irritate him further."

"I don't know why I want to irritate him more. He gives me goosebumps whenever he is near me. I don't know why I like making him anrgy. He looks more sexy when he is angry ;) " I passed chit to her

"You are mad. Just don't fall for him :p "

"Haha! Shut up Lee and pay attention to the lecture."

And whole day after that class I didn't see him. I wanted to see him but he didn't showed up. I get in my car and noticed his black devil bike.  I decided to wait for him and after sometime he also came. Skillfully he started that monster and left. I decided to follow him in case I got any chance to lock him in his own house or break glasses of the windows. When he stopped his bike before a small cottage I noticed it was very near to my house. He parked the bike and entered his house and I started looking for something in my car's toolkit. Gotcha! I knew that it would be present here, superglue. I looked around my surroundings, there was no one so I stepped out of my car and headed towards his house. Once reached there I made sure to not make any sound while reaching his door. I opened the cap of the tube and spread the fluid everywhere in his keyhole, lock, handle and even on sides of the door and returned to my car with a victory smile. I am sure he will not be able to open that gate, he will definitely need to change the locks. Yay!
