"Hanu bhayya! What is wrong with my heart? Do I need some kind of treatment??" I questioned  decorating him with flowers .

"It's been a month. I tried not to look at him or talk with him or should I say , I avoided him! Like completely! It's unbearable! " I sighed folding my hands.

"It's very difficult for me.. you know. To look at your crush and them not knowing that you are actually crushing on them . Like seriously? I mean hanu bhayya ! How can I not even express that I like him?" I spoke looking at him.

"Crushing on whom dear?" My mom entered carrying my bag.

"Nothing mom. I talk when I am stressed out" I spoke getting up from floor

"Why do you stress lord Hanuman so much? He must be tired listening to so many people's queries." She said handing me over my bag.

"Does that mean he's just keeping me in mute option? Whatever I spoke , he didn't even listen??" I exclaimed.

"You are so childish Aahana" mom said walking beside me

"So how many more months will you keep on teaching for jailers ?" She asked .

"Why?" I questioned her.

Why so sudden interest my dear mom?

"We want you to get married." She dropped the bomb.

"Mom! I just started working!" I whined Walking out of my house.

"For jailers. Which isn't good thing" she pointed out.

"I teach. No matter whether it is for jailers or students in university. I am spreading knowledge." I replied closing our main door. Indirectly asking her not to talk with me about that topic.

I started my car and travelled towards the place which I dread because it's filled with criminals as well as excited to go because that's where my crush is. As usual officials greeted me by saluting to which I laughed.

I am not an officer!

"Good morning!" I greeted cheerfully looking at everyone except one particular guy.

"Good morning" I heard only him reply as usual . I glanced at him to see that his beard has grown so much and he looks handsome as ever. He was staring at me without blinking his eyes which is bit scary and so I turned away.

He sure has some killer looks!

"Excuse me mam" someone entered handing over me a envelope which contains their test results. I looked at it hoping everyone did their level best. I am bit nervous to see results as I was not assigned to evaluate them .

"So here are your test results. I hope everyone has done their part well. Let me see who's in the game " I spoke earning a slight laughter from them.

As I opened it , I found the name which I ignored from past one month. I sighed and looked through the list to see everyone has gone through the test well. I was happy to know that I was successful in teaching them !

" Congratulations guys! You all did good. I don't know your rewards for your performance but I am sure they are  worth your struggle " I said smiling at them . All of them had smiles on their faces .

" I will now announce the names who have topped the list. I don't know why they have given separately , maybe they might have special gifts " I said winking and  making them laugh at me.

" Soham " I spoke while whole class went silent, he looked at me smiling a bit.

" Pankaj" I said , man sitting beside him smiled widely while Soham patted his back .
