Mallika's POV :

Life is good.
Life is bad.
Life is not worth waiting.
Life is full of challenges.
Life is an adventure.

We've heard different definitions of life and everybody's life is different from every perspective.
Then how does one incident join two people's life?

Look now, I'm a student okay?
In my last year of ( which i don't even know why am I doing)
Note the sarcasm guys.

And on the other side is Sumedh..I mean professor Sumedh Agarwal who's here to establish a career. And we're together linked in this created drama of some people's gossip.

Well, this is what called life in conclusion. The unexpected happens...

"You okay?" Sumedh asked walking to my right

"Yeah? I mean I don't know. It's really strange and awkward. "

When he didn't responded I stopped walking, so did he. And I decided to continue.

"I don't know those looks. What if we were a couple imagine. " He looked like I was kidding.

Wait.

Did I just say imagine

Professor Sumedh Aggarwal and Student Mallika Mehra a couple?

"Imagined." He replies.

My mouth zipped up.

I couldn't speak anything else.

We?

He pointed between us.
"We..a couple? Can be. And?"

And?

"And?" I blurt out.

"You were saying something. Imaging us as couple and then-? " He asks.

"Right." I say scrating my head back

WHY THE HELL AM I GETTING DISTRACTED?

"No no no crap. We cannot be a couple. You're my professor for god's sake and I'm a student. No no NOOO stop stop.." I blabber

"Wait, what do you mean by we cannot be a couple. I'm Sumedh Agarwal and you're Mallika Mehra.  There's no student professor in personal life, duh." My mouth was left opened.

.......was he saying we can be a couple?

as in me and him?

"Yes, you and me. " He repeats.

"You think I'm not worthy of you?" He looked dead serious.

"No. You're good. Any girl would be lucky to have you as their soulmate and partner for this entire life. " I immediately said.

"So, what's the problem?" He asked.

"I..uhm....I...you.....me..." And he laughed.
