In all of my life, I had never heard such a deadly silence as the one that spread throughout the class today. They all focused on the Physics Professor standing at the head of the class.

The Physics Professor did not seem to notice the lull in the room. Each student had a blank stare, unable to concentrate on the lecture and take notes. It wasn't just his seriousness, but the magical effect he created that nobody could explain. It drew everyone to him and silenced the room. Nobody was safe from the effect.

Lecturing in his serious style, his Beautiful clear eyes and precious, fine blue shirt and black jeans looked radiant in his simplistic formality. The Professor's name was Azhar, and he was the one that everybody talked about when class ended.

With his names on their lips, everyone left to return hostel and homes.

In this class, four students would stick together, being roommates kept them close. When they left the classroom, Baron and Helina could be seen talking together.

"He is so young, smart, and handsome. I think I am in love with him, "Helina commented.

Baron asked, " Do you know how old he is ?"

Helina replied, "He isn't that much older than us, I thought he is still working on his PhD ".

"He is also famous throughout the whole college," Aana added.

Turning to Eman with shrewd scepticism they asked, "Eman! Why aren't you impressed by his beauty?"

"Well, for starters, no one seems to get bored during his lectures. Second, he has a complete grasp of his subject, so his lectures are incredibly informative. Third, he isn't terrifying like some of our other professors. Taking all of that under consideration, I like him as a teacher and nothing else," Eman replied with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

"Okay, fine. why you aren't impressed..." Aana repeat.

"Stop it guys," Eman said in a harsh tone, cutting her friend off in mid-sentence.

"I realize you want to know why I'm not attracted to him physically, but beauty and love cannot exist without trust. If one trusts in beauty alone they will be disappointed by its false face. Love is also contingent on trust, and there is no place for trust in this world or my heart. So, there is no place for love in it either. I hope you understand, as I do not wish to repeat myself," Eman replied.

Everyone huffed, annoyed by her statement.
