My Teacher My Sweetheart
Finally, the lamb fell in love with the lion. Wait.. WHAT??! Hell no, in a way or the other the lion will eat the lamb up and leave the bones rotting on ground. But my inner angel was convincing me the other way around. Maybe the lion will turn vegetarian just for the sake of the lamb and start eating leaves and roots and then slowly die as well. OKAY. Somehow, its lost to one part or the other. But who cares right, the feeling was way too beautiful to be ignored for silly reasons as whether the lamb or the lion will be dying.
I was very much hyper among my friends but in class I was a typical introvert. I loved sitting in the corner of the class doing nothing except for reading my novel and once in a while sketch on my lecture notes when the lecturer turns extremely boring. Most of the people in my class don't even know a girl named Rachel ever existed. I can swear if they ever get to go inside my mind and see all the violent and silly things that runs in my mind, I will be captured and immediately captivated in a cage and will be placed in the zoo for general viewing as the most human look alike animal.
So, one fine day this guy appeared near my lecture hall. Tall, nice hairstyle and lean. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a navy blue jeans and a pair of black shoes and entered in with a file in his hand. Since I was sitting very much near the door, he came up to me and asked,
"TCP1011?"
Don't say yes! Dont say yes! You wouldn't want it to end right away with the first question itself Rachel!!
"Ermmm..what is that? I mean what is TCP1011?"
He moved his spectacles up and smiled at me and continued, "Is this the Computer Programming lecture class Miss??? Miss?? Whats your name?"
" Oh haha..Im Rachel and yeah this is the class you were asking for."
He smiled at me and walked to the front. Must be an intelligent student I thought to myself as he was heading to the very first row of the lecture hall and actually walked past that row as well! HELL NO!! He is the new lecturer. My goodness did I just flirt around with my lecturer? I was blushing away with embarrassment thinking of what silly shit I just committed.
That's okay Rachel. That's okay. What you did is totally normal. You didn't even know he was a lecturer. Keep your cool..keep your cool..KEEP YOUR COOL BLOODY BITCH!!
The class ended smoothly that day. I kept my eyes on the notes and notes alone. Okay..that's a big fat lie. I did peep at him every now and then when he wasn't looking at my corner. At the end of the class when everyone was busy packing to leave he pointed at me and moved his lips,
"Rachel, yes you Rachel. Since I know your name and your name alone in this class I elect you to be the class rep. Come here I need to tell you a few things so you can keep your mates updated".
I was practically shivering. I grabbed my water bottle and missed it and it landed on the floor effortlessly. I clumsily grabbed it and walked towards him adjusting my hair and i hugged my book as tight as I could.
"Are you okay Rachel? Don't worry dear, no big job. Take my number and give me yours and when there is changes in our classes or if I want to announce anything to your class I will just buzz you".
I wasn't talking at all. All I did was nodding all the way to whatever he said as I was extremely nervous. We exchanged numbers and I headed home feeling contented with whatever that has taken place that day.
Days became weeks when one fine day i received a message from him about a class cancellation. My heart cracked slightly. I won't be able to see him on that day. That's alright, I don't mind he is just my lecturer and that's it. I said okay to him and informed the others. Exactly after 42 minutes i received another message from him "Nice Whatsapp profile picture Rachel". My heart skipped a bit. I was overwhelmed. I replied him with a wide grin emoji and never looked back at my phone.
After few days, I was sitting in his office room presenting my project proposal. He looked through my paperwork and wrote a few comments on it with his ballpoint red pen. His office was very neat. All his books and files were arranged nicely. I was admiring his room way too much. The black colored carpet well matched with his grey furniture and his desktop when, "Rachel, have you had your lunch?"
"Not yet Sir".
"Do you wanna go with me for lunch? I promise you it will be a quick one at the cafe beside the hair saloon?"
No Rachel this is an ultimate trap. Say no!! NO! NO! Don't make yourself too available!
"Rachel?" his eyes were gleaming and his face was expecting an agreement from me. How can I ever break his heart?
"I don't have any classes after this, I see why not."
He smiled wide enough showing all his teeth to me. He stood up and handed me my project papers and lead me outside his room. The cafe was very simple and adorable. The walls were full of pictures of Dunbo. It was very much pleasant with dark blue painting and really bright yellow lights everywhere. We were happily eating our meal when he was explaining how hard it was to finish his Masters Degree and all. When i was wiping my mouth with a piece of tissue paper he asked me "Will you have lunch with me everyday for the rest of your life?"
