"Thank you, sir." Benazir thanked Karim and handed him a bottle of water. Finally, Benazir was shifting in the hostel and she was excited about a new experience.
Karim, Aman and Khurram was helping her since morning. Khurram and Aman both of them has sneaked in and out of her taya's home for her remaining things and both of them clicked instantly. So, Khurram and Aman went to somewhere to eat and Karim and her preferred the college canteen for their lunch. And both of them were literally jumping to keep themselves away from Karim's gaze.
Even Khurram is much older than Karim but still Karim keeps him on his toe.
She got one more news today, her property issue has been solved, "You know finally all problems are over. I don't believe it in just one week property issue is over. Khurram bhai suddenly became so resourceful."
Karim who was constantly gazing at her suddenly looked at other side. Benazir then talked about the project they were working on. Project is not completed but their work is done is complete, now all the research will be done by PG and Ph.D. student then Benazir suddenly realized something, "Sir, I have heard you final will be held in just two months. Aren't they taking exams so early this year."
Karim finally had a chance to say something, "Hmm, usually they don't do this but this year election will be held in the state so all the professor will be busy with the ballots and they are thinking to use some students too."
Karim noticed that Benazir suddenly became sad he asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing, sir."
Karim chuckled lightly and insisted, "Nothing, that's not a reason that Benazir suddenly stopped speaking? Tell me."
Benazir also smiled slightly at his words and then hesitating she asked, "Then, you will get busy with the exams, you will not have time for us." She gave a sigh. Karim just looked at her for a long time and Benazir was feeling shy under his gaze then suddenly he shifted closed to her, within his limit but enough closer and whispered, "You want me to make time for you? Hmm?"
Benazir pushed him a little with her finger, and rubbed her other hand on her kurti, "No"
Karim again made some distance between them but still keeping a foolish grin on his face he teased her more, "Don't lie Naaz. Don't worry, I will definitely take out some time for you." Then his ears also turned red and he asked her softly, "I have some time now. Come with me?"
"Where?" she asked.
"Anywhere?" and then he grabbed her hand and walked out of college.
_
"Didi, ball dena" a small girl called her. Benazir looked at the ground and kicked the ball to her. (Sister, give me the ball.)
They were walking in a park. The place was filled with the crowd but both of them could only feel each other. The place was filled with noise but for them, the whole place was peaceful. It's been half an hour but both of them were silent. They were moving from one corner to another corner when a boy came running to Karim and asked him to bowed down, Karim looked at him in surprise and the boy whispers something in his ears and Karim started laughing, "Oh, tumhe bada pata h?" (You know everything?)
"Are bhaiya itna sharmayoge toh didi.........." he shouted then again whispers something in his ear, Karim gave a slight pat on the kid's shoulder and looked at Benazir, "Want to swing?" (Bro, if you shy too much then sister will.....)
"That's what he said?" Benazir asked him. Karim didn't bother to answer her and dragged her to the swing giving a wink to the boy.
They were enjoying this moment, very much. They both knew that for two and a half month they will not have time for each other. They both wanted to capture this moment in their heart.
_
Then for two months they actually didn't have time to even send a message. Karim was drowning himself in exams preparation and Benazir was again helping professor with the project.
But then one day Aftab comes running to her, "Ma'am?"
"What are you doing here?" She looked at the file in her hand and asked him casually. Even, things were really tensed between them two months ago but Aftab really repented himself. They are not in friendship phase but they are not strangers or enemies for each other.
She ignored him and he was running after her like he has discovered something really great, "I want to talk about something."
Benazir closed her eyes, she was now really getting irritated, "Aftab, I am really busy, right now."
He then stood in front of her, "Ma'am, it's about your photo that went viral. I found the culprit."
Benazir was now curious but she looked at the file in her hand and then changed her decision, "Leave it. We know that you didn't do it, that's it."
"Ma'am, how can you leave it? It's Areeba?" Aftab insisted after all everybody thought that he was the culprit. Now, the name sound familiar to Benazir, "Areeba? Who? She was with us on the trip, right?"
"Hmm, and she even threw ball at you."
This was really surprising for her, why a first will do that, "But why?"
"I am curious too. Let's go." And he then held her hand and dragged her to the principal room.
"May I come in ma'am?" Benazir saw Areeba was also there she looked at them and looked flustered, her face was obvious, Areeba looked at the principal and asked, "Ma'am, can I know why I am here?"
Aftab was now really furious, he was in full mood to fight with her, "Here? Oh oh oh Areeba. You don't know. But you knew that Benazir ma'am and Karim sir are having a passionate affair."
Areeba looked at him then here and there in the room and said, "What the hell are you talking about? Principal ma'am that why you have called me. You can't blame me for everything." Then she was about to go out of the room when Aftab held her by her hand, "Wait, you have to answer Areeba. Show me your phone."
Then Areeba loses her temper and shouted on him, "Why the hell are taking her side Aftab. You really think you can get into her good books by blaming me."
Benazir knew what was this, Benazir knew why Areeba did this. But Aftab was still furious, he shouted on her with same tone, "I don't want to get in her good books but..." then he moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Aftab sir's good books. He will really not like when you will mess with her."
That's when someone knocked on the door, "May I come in ma'am?"
"Come, Karim, at least you have some discipline. Why my student from first year don't know even d from discipline." And now Benazir noticed principal ma'am was really pissed with the situation.
Karim looked at Areeba and then asked her, "Sorry ma'am I will talk to them. Ma'am can I take them out? Things will get ugly for you if I interrogate her here."
Karim's eyes were now furious, "Do as you want Karim. Benazir, I think it's time for your subsidiary class?"
Principal ma'am gave a sly smile to Areeba then a soft smile to Benazir and patted her shoulder and asked her to attend the class, "Go, Karim will handle it. There will no injustice in this college."
_
After that Aftab filled her with further information. Areeba has a crush on Aftab, but his eyes were on Benazir and rest is the history. He asked her forgiveness for his proposal and told her that Areeba has been suspended for three months and her parents were called too, they were really angry at Areeba that's mean, things will not go really good at her home too.
_
Karim's exams were now almost finished. Benazir was now happy about it. After her classes were over, she went to prof. Aarti, she called her to discuss something. "May I come in ma'am?"
Prof. Aarti looked at her and then at papers on her desk and nodded, "Hmm, come."
"Ma'am why did you...." Benazir asked her but Prof. Aarti didn't let her speak anything, she really looked totally different person, she just asked one sentence from Benazir, "Do you know who Karim is?"
--------------
A/N:- I don't know how I am writing. It's too much cringey right? Well bear with it and I promise I will improve myself.
So, many of you hadn't read my other two books, well I have deleted it from this platform. But soon I will publish those works in this book, so, don't worry. That one will be cringey too, Basically I wrote those like a play, you know like....
Name: his sentence
Name: her sentence (like this)
So, I will only change the character names. Their dialogues are in Hindi because the female lead (It's like Anika from ishqbaaz) use typical words and that's her speciality but I have provided translations, so, don't worry.
I will upload it's glimpse today. So, tell me if you want or not.
Vote please.
