It was surprising how she felt lost and found at the same time, looking into his eyes.
Srishti eyed his steady hand , her lashes fluttering at the thought of him running it softly across her self. She bit her lips and slowly withdrew her hand without him noticing, Professor Adhiran was still not convinced she was alright,
'I'm not a paragraph or a character from a novel for you to fully comprehend, Professor Adhiran' She whispered,
'Try panren' he whispered back, not missing a beat, 'Sari va.. I'll take you home'
'Marupadiyuma? ' she asked him, eyebrows arched in surprise,
'Ahma'
'Na okay dha…. Na apdiyae yosuchite nadanthu veetuku poiduven' she tried convincing him,
'Manasula pattatha velila sollidu' he voiced his heart,
'En thambi kitaya? No way' she shrugged her shoulders,
'Un friend Priyanka kita? ' he gave her another reason,
'Ipo vanda' she shook her head firmly,
'Sari.. Enkita? '
Srishti's eyes widened in wonder when he said it so easily, she tried to search for the synonym behind those beady eyes that drove her insane by being arcane and unpredictable 'Neenga enaku neraya panirkinga..And I'm really grateful,
But unglukunu porupu irukum.. Neenga enakaagha inime athela vitutu-
'Naana dhaana keten? '
'Sari.. ' she agreed with a sigh,
Professor Adhiran gave her a single smile that was more than enough to crush all her defenses and relish the painfully real happiness he gave her,
'Enkooda varathula unaku sandhosham illaya, Sasha? ' he asked her, in mock seriousness, placing his hand on his heart, dramatically.
She shook her head with a smile at his antics and matched her pace with him. her little fingers clutched her dupatta closer bearing the harsh cold.
'Kulurthu' her teeth clattered against each other in perfect symphony,
Professor Adhiran looked at her for a moment before shrugging his blazer off his shoulder,
'No no no no! Professor Adhiran! ' She exclaimed her protest that very intrest but he paid no need,
His strong arms took her books from her as he handed her the blazer,
'Vanda, please'
'Potuko, please'
Srishti looked at him with her full cheeks, pouting like a grumpy cat making him erupt a jubilant giggle as he placed the books on the trunk of someone's car,
'Yaar car nae therila'
'Ahma' he affirmed still standing in the same place,
He gently helped her slide down his blazer into her arms as Srishti weighed it against her front. His sillage clouding her senses in an instant making her wonder what fragrance he used,
'Thank you' she whispered and picked up the books from the trunk,
The car suddenly came into ignition as it slowly reversed from the parking lot making Srishti clutch his arm and pull him away from that place,
Professor Adhiran took in her frightened face before laughing out loud again, his messy locks in perfect disarray as it caressed by the breeze,Srishti's eyes fell on his glittering eyes under the minimal light,
