You are struck Sammy. This man ain't gonna leave it here. I took my seat as took a deep breathe " we set up a bet collection counter there. Every year during the time of fest numerous sports and competitions take place. Students gamble on which branch or some specific one would bag the winner title. Huge amounts of money gets profited to us annually. At the end there happens a charity event where all this money is donated to orphanages and old age homes."

"So it's what dean was talking about yesterday."

"Yes, fortunately all of us saathis are from well versed families and never faced any crisis but those kids and elders do face a lot. We know all this is illegal and all but its just a small try we are making to improve their lives." I say pressing my lips into a thin line.

"Oh I never knew you nasty kids had such a generous take " he seem impressed.

"Troubled kids and wannabe Robinhoods." I say smiling.

"It's a good initiative keep it up "

"All the staff is aware of the bluff happen in, its quite the open secret."

"Great that the open secret is out now let's call it a day then." He says packing things up.

"Man of your words I see." We packed up and were now headed out.

"So where's is your noise maker these days?" He asked when we were almost near the parking.

Raising up my almost healed palm "strict orders not to hold hard grip." he  furrowed his eyebrows examining it and said "turned out better last time I saw it was spitting red."

"Yeah nasty blood." I say grinning.

"What's your ride back then?" He asks

"I would just call a cab" I said pulling out my phone.

" let me drop you then."

"Nah its fine I would just find a cab anywhere near" I said scrolling in my phone.

"You are not gonna find any cab at this rush hour." I think universe has decided not to favour me anytime soon. These were no cabs available near the campus right now. Not at least in 1 km radius.

"Um. Hope its not a trouble." I said hesitantly biting my lips.

"No way at least I get a chance to return your favor from last week. Wait here i will get back with the car " he said turning towards the teachers parking lot.

"Why to wait?" I said and started walking towards the teachers parking lot.

"You wouldn't want to." He said catching my pace.

"Why? Have you professors hidden your secret hostages there?." And here goes the sarcastic Sameera.

"Woah you got very high expectations on us."

And by now we were all alone in the empty dark underground parking lot walking towards the only car at the corner.

"You got a very spooky corner proff." I said hoping he would ignore the short name I called him with. By this we reached his car

"I warned you." He said opening the passenger door. Let me tell you I am not a great fan of chivrly but I planned to shut. He don't need to know it .

I ran my hand over the hood of the car yeah its the same car I ruined few days back

"Your mechanic got magic in his hands." I said getting into. "Pass me his number."

" sure mam" he said closing the door.

He got into the driver seat and threw his bag at the back seat. Soon we were on road. He didn't turn on any music. Its not like that even care. We had a small talk on how the college campus is so huge and that parking lot incident.
