So here it is!

Warisha's POV

I wasn't able to believe my eyes when I met Mrs. Johns' student for the first time and found out who she was. Mannat! Sanam and Samar's cousin, Mannat! No wonder why that name sounded so familiar when I heard it from Mrs. Johns.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am." Mannat greeted like a sweet kid.

I replied with a smile, "Good afternoon, Mannat."

"You are my new teacher?" She asked curiously.

"Yeah..." I nodded, "for a short period."

"But you're too young to be a teacher. Aap to Disha Di se bhi chote ho." She pointed innocently and I chuckled softly as she continued with her descriptions of a teacher. "School ke saare teachers bhi bade hai and mote bhi." She blew her cheeks and held her elbows out to appear bigger which just made me laugh. "And Johns ma'am bhi to chasme lagati hai but aap, aap to itne chote ho aur mote bhi nahi ho...aur chasme bhi nahi lagate. Aap to teacher lagte hi nahi."

I raised my eyebrows childishly, "Aapko kisne bola main chasme nahi lagati? Hmm..?" I asked her with wiggling brows and then I took out my specs from my bag and wearing it I said, "Chashme to main bhi lagati hu."

She watched me with her tiny eyes and started laughing after that.

"Array! Aap has kyu rahe ho?"

In between her melodic laugh she answered my question. "Aapke chasme to aapse bhi bade hai."

I chuckled again. "Woh kya hai na, Maine bade chasme isliye liye kyuki main choti se badi hosakti hu but mere specs to bade nahi hosakte. Isliye Maine pehli hi bade specs le liye. Smart na?"

Her eyes twinkled hearing my reply. "Oh acha! To isliye aapne itne bade chasme liye?" She asked amused, I nodded with a smile in reply.

"Uhm...ab agar me aapke teacher description me fit hogayi to padhayi shuru kare?" I asked and her face dulled hearing that and she shook her head in reply.

"Kyu?"

"Mujhe nahi padhna abhi."

"To kya karna hai?" I asked trying to look curious. I was curious in real but I wanted to be a friendly teacher and not rudy so, I was making all this sweet, soft expressions.

"Baat karni hai!"

"Baat? Kis topic pe?"

"Uhm.." She thought for a while and then with a big smile she said, "Main na aaj hi Samar and Sanam Bhaiya k ghar se aayi. Waha Maine bohout masti ki, khela. Mujhe wahi ki baatein karni hai."

Just the mere mention of Puri brothers' name brought a smile on my face. This time I didn't have to try to look curious or friendly because that big smile with a tint of pink cheeks were already doing so. "Toh, aap apne Bhaiya k saath thi?"
