It's been twelve years since they found a new life in the realms of Boston and Srishti was nothing but grateful. Benevolence was something that she felt again when Haritha, Her professor 's mother asked for her help at the hotel when one of her pastry chefs had a family emergency.
Srishti was enthralled by the hotel and sighed, Haritha 's son had made sure that his mother had the best Indian restaurant in all of Boston,
'Sasha kanna… I have to thank you, na koopta odanae vanthathuku' She hugged her to her heart as an act of adoration,
'Mam.. thanks laam edhuku' she smiled at her ,
' Unaku evlo Vela irunthaalu unna namba help keta ne illa nu solla maata nu Adhi sonnathu sari dha' she pinched the younger one's cheek and took her around the place to show her around,
' Anike kekanum nu nenachen.. unaku epdi Baking la interest vanthuchu?' she had offered her some coffee and a few butter cookies,
' Athu.. Literature maathiri Baking uhm enakoru therapy dha.. something that makes me happy ' she smiled at her.
Srishti soon busied herself in making beautiful cup cakes and pastries with Haritha, the duo spent a considerable amount of time bonding over cakes and coffee that Srishti hardly noticed time passing,
' Sasha.. innu rendu cup cake eduthuko..
The strawberry tart is your favorite right?'
'Kandipa mam.. ' she giggled cutely, munching a cupcake,
'Sari.. vaa na unna veetla vidren ' the elder one smiled,
'Ore nimisham … kelambarthuku munnadi na restroom mattum poitu vanthrava?' she pouted, making Haritha chuckle and nod her head.
Srishti bounced through the door passing by a security camera when something caught her eye,
AV SECURITY SYSTEMS, BOSTON. CONTACT FOUNDER, ADHIRAN VEDHAMANIKAM .
Beneath the wordings was a landline number.
'I have a side job that keeps me financially stable'
'Paathiya ,namba college la security cameras install panirkaanga '
Srishti quickly took two business cards and rushed to the front door as she heard Haritha calling for her, her heart crumbling into pieces seeing the extent of his generosity towards her.
How she wished she could bury herself inside his profound heart and never come back .
Srishti took the momos she made in a small container and smiled to herself and stood outside his classroom awaiting lunch hour to begin, she had initially planned to leave it on his desk with a thank you note if he wasn't available but something in her wanted to see his smile when he relished the momos ,
Given that Adhiran had helped her with the application process for all the masters program she chose to apply for, he kept his word and indeed wrote her personalised recommendation letters assuring her that she indeed deserved the previlge. Her heart swelled with nothing but adoration and gratitude for the man who has done so much for her,
Avoiding him was impossible, given that he affected her so much.
Her eyes fell on the window and saw him sitting on his desk, reading something on the laptop screen as he took notes, he stood up with a sweet smile when he saw her enter, his tanned forearms and veiny palms still clutching his pen,
' Good afternoon,Sasha!'
'Good afternoon, Professor Adhiran.. neenga ukarunga.. I just wanted to drop something off' she told him, handing him the tiffin,
