After a few weeks Ariyan was able to walk properly and he insisted Puja's Grandma to let him be on his own. The whole time they came everyday felt like a dream to him. He got used to them and started to wait for them to come. He was beside the garden and the dusty plant tubs caught his attention which was clean one day before. He remembered now Puja was the one who took care of all of them until now that's why he never noticed them. He was watering the plants when he thought , is it too calm in the apartment or is it just him who got used to the warmth of a family again.
"No, what am I thinking! It should be okay by some days. What's with my mind these days why am I thinking too much about Puja. Ah that's the side effect of that little girl's foolish act."
Ariyan recovered fully after a few days. He came back to school again. Everyone on campus was curious about his health. He got into the incident while protecting a student so all of them were treating him like a hero. Of course some teachers were jelly again.
"Welcome, you are the hero of our school now."
"What hero sir it just happened in a split second that I didn't have the time to think of."
"No, no you did some praise-able work, or else who goes to these lengths for a student these days."
He smiled and ignored them all. He concentrated in the rest of the work from the leave. Classes started for the day and he entered the class. For some reason he was shattered after seeing Puja in the class. He begins to sweat immediately he thought
"Why am I feeling nervous here. You damn heart please stay calm for a minute."
He turned to the blackboard and started to give lessons. Surprisingly everyone noticed that he was ignoring Puja's gaze while teaching. Even when he asked any question randomly he didn't pick Puja to answer them, though she was raising her hand first.
After the class ended Puja looked worried. She was thinking if she had done anything wrong. Why is he ignoring her? Some of the girls were gossiping in the class.
"Did you saw that?"
What?
I think sir is ignoring that bitch.
Finally maybe he is back to his senses after the accident.
Who will favour a girl who caused him accident.
Right, it's better now.
Puja ignored all this and pulled a piece of paper from his bag. She came out of the class and walked towards the staff room. She stopped before the Ariyan's cabinet. She handed him a paper.
"Sir, I wrote the previous essay again can you check it ?"
She was trying to observe his behaviour
"Hm it is better than the previous one."
"Oh Puja, I was thinking about it for a long time. I should stop meating each other for a while."
"Why? you said you don't have any problem giving me personal lessons."
"I never said you can't come to me when I am in school just don't meet in personal. You know I respected your feelings you should respect mine also. I just thought that if we continue like this I we might drag each other in a entangled relationship which is harmful for both of us.
Puja didn't said anything and came back to the class. She was so calm at outside that no one noticed that she had been tearing apart outside.
