Shahzain came back from his morning jog.

"Aa gaya? Chalo jaao naha dhokar aa jaao. Mai naashta laga rhi hu."

(You came? Go and take a bath. I am serving food.)

His mother called from inside the kitchen. He started going towards his room and saw his father in the living room.

"Kya zarurat hai tumhe roz itni subha subha daudh lagane ki. Fit insaan ho tum toh."

(What is the need to run daily. You are a fit man.)

Shahzain chuckled and said.

"Daudh lagata hu isliye fit hu baba. Aap bhi lagaya kre."

(I run that's why I am fit. You also run.)

Haider Khan gasped loudly and fake glared at his son.

"Kya matlab tumhara? Mai mota hu. Dekha begum! Aapka beta mujhe mota keh rha hai."

(What do you mean? I am fat. Have you heard begum! Your son is calling me fat.)

Shahzain laughed and went to his room ignoring his father's drama.

He came back down to see his mother had laid the table. He sat on his seat and opened the lids of the dishes one by one.

"Arre waah! Aaj kou dawat hai kya ammi? Itna sab?"

(Wow! Is there any feast today? So much?)

Kinza smiled and said.

"Pehla din hai aaj tumhara. Bas isliye."

(Its your first day. That's why.)

Shahzain smiled at his mother and started having his food.

"Waise ye job change krne ki achanak se kya sujhi tumhe?"

(Why did you change your job suddenly?)

Haider asked and Shahzain answered him after gulping his food down.

"Yaha achha pay mil rha tha baba. Aur phir mai bhut time se yahi pr try kr rha tha."

(Pay was good here. And I was trying since very long.)

Haider nodded and Shahzain got up taking his parents blessings.

He started off to his new job. Reaching the college he parked his car in the parking lot of the college.

After marking his attendance he checked his time table and went to the first class he had.

His third class was in the M section.

The class was a nuisance. He entered the class and some students got silent seeing him while the rest continued talking not noticing him.

He cleared his throat and announced his presence in loud, confident voice.

"Good morning students. I am Professor Shahzain Khan."

The class went silent. Everyone looked at him obviously not expecting someone so young.

Shahzain observed everyone and asked.

"Are we all or there are more students to come?"

He asked looking at no one in particular.

"We are all Sir."

The CR replied and Shahzain nodded looking at him.

He set his books on the table and sighed nodding.

"Ok. Let's start with our introduction. All you now know who I am. You guys also let me know your names. Ab pura semester saath jo bitana hai."

(We have to spend the whole semester together now.)

He smiled making few students smile and few chuckle among themselves.

The introduction started and Shahzain listened to everyone carefully. He even made a few jokes here and there.

Overall the students were liking him till now.

Now came Noor's turn to introduce herself. But the girl was lost in her dreamland. She was busy admiring the handsome professor in front of her.

Shahzain looked at her prompting her to speak but she was too lost. Aakriti nudged her harshly and she came out of her dreamland realising her folly.

She smiled in embarrassment and quickly sat back down after introducing herself.

Shahzain didn't ponder much on it and comtinued with the introduction. The first class went like this.

The students were happy that he took his time getting to know his students rather than start teaching on the very first day unlike other teachers.

After his class was their break. Aakriti, Noor and Disha went to the canteen and gave their orders.

"Yaar Professor Shahzain kitne handsome hai Allah. Mujhe toh lag raha mujhe unpe crush ho gaya hai."

(Professor Shahzain is so handsome. I think I think have developed a crush.)

Noor gushed out to both of them.

"Lag nhi rha hai ladki. Ho gaya hai."

(Its not think. You have.)

Aakriti said nudging her side playfully and Noor went ahead and blushed. Aakriti and Disha were shocked because Noor and her crushed were a regular story but she had never blushed so much for anyone.

"Oyee Noorie! Tu blush kr rhi hai!"

(You are blushing!)

Disha teased and Noor blushed even more. The girls continued their teasing session. Both of them targeted Noor until they saw Vivek of their batch. He was in a different section than them and Disha had a huge crush on him since the beginning of their college.

Disha immediately turned her face away feeling shy all of a sudden and now it was her turn to get teased.

Vivek came near them and greeted all of them.

"Hi Disha!"

He said and looked at her for a little longer. He talked to them for some time and left when his friends called him.

"Babe I am telling you he has hots for you. Dekha nhi how he looks at you."

(Have you seen how he looks at you.)

Aakriti said and Disha smiled biting her lip.

Their teasing game continued till the end of the day and bid each other a bye. Aakriti and Disha lived near each other and so they came and went together in Aakriti's car.

Noor went on her scooty. She reached home and slumped on the sofa near her mother.

"Kaisa gaya aaj ka din?"

(How was your day?)

Fatima asked caressing Noor's head. She sighed happily and told Fatima about the new professor and how he was very good.

"Bada chehak rhi ho uski baat krte waqt. Kya masla hai Noor?"

(You are very cheerful talking about him. What is the matter Noor?)

Fatima asked and Noor giggled nervously.

"K-kuch masla nhi hai ammi. Wo genuinely achhe hai."

(T-there is nothing ammi. He is genuinely nice.)

Fatima didn't miss the glint in her daughter's eyes while she spoke of him.

"Mujhe kisi cheez se koi aitraaz nhi hai bache. Bas ye dhyan rakhna ki kabhi kuch aisa nhi krna jisse tumhari ammi ko sharminda hona pade. Agar koi pasand aata hai toh mujhe batana. Hum tumhare nikkah ki baat karenge."

(I don't mind anything. But remember don't ever do anything which leaves your ammi embarassed. If you like someone then tell me. I will talk about your nikkah with him.)

She explained and Noor nodded.

"I promise ammi. Mai kabhi bhi aisa kuch nhi krungi."

(I will never do anything like that.)

Fatima was a single widowed mother and did not want the society to target her daughter for anything because of that.

Fatima kissed her head and Noor hugged her mother. The two had their lunch gossipping together and Noor helped her mother do other household works and then went to do her college studies.
