🌸 AYESHA'S POV ✨✨
I walked straight toward the President and Vice President office.
Everything from yesterday was still running in my mind.
The announcement…The whispers…And him…
I shook my head.
"Focus, Ayesha," I said to myself. 😤
As I entered the office, I noticed something.
It was empty and completely silent.
I slowly walked inside and looked around.
The room looked neat and perfectly arranged.
In front of me, there was a big desk with a nameplate: Kartik Sharma — President
And just in front of it… my table with a name plate: Ayesha Sah — Vice President
Two chairs beside it.
Maybe I guess one for him and another one for me.
I took a deep breath. "Finally… peace," I said softly. 😮💨
"Thank God he is not here…"
"Who is not here?" Someone spoke
I froze. Slowly turned back.
"Oh shit…" I whispered. 😳
Kartik.
"What the hell is he doing here?" I said in my mind.
He didn't reply.
He just walked past me and sat on his chair.
Opened a file.
Then suddenly— He threw a bundle of papers in front of me.
"Finish this," he said.
I looked at the papers 👀📄 Then at him.
"What is this?" I said.
"Your work," he said coldly.
"How much?" I asked.
"Enough to complete ," he said.
I checked the bundles .....One… two… three…
There were so many "Are you serious?" I said, raising my eyebrow 🤨🤨.
"Your classes are over. Finish it," he said.
I crossed my arms.
"You're not the one to give me orders," I said. 😏
He finally looked at me.
"I'm not ordering. I'm telling you your responsibility," he said.
"Oh really?" I stepped closer.
"Then tell me… what are you doing?" I said.
"I don't need to explain my work," he said.
"Then don't expect me to follow yours," I said sharply.
He leaned back.
"I knew it… you would give up this easily," he said.
That hit my ego.
"Don't even think that, I'll finish it." 🔥 I said.
"Good," he said.
I sat down and started working.
Time passed… And passed… And passed…
I didn't even realize when it became dark.
Finally, I threw my pen.
"Done," I said. 😤
I stood up and walked toward his table.
But he wasn't there.
"What?" I said.
I checked my phone 8:30 P.M. 😳Shit***
"Oh my God…" "I've been here all this time?"
I packed my things, locked the office, and walked out.
🌃 The roads were still busy… but I felt alone.
Then suddenly—
I heard footsteps behind me.
I turned.
"Oh… you?" I said, rolling my eyes. 😑
🌑 KARTIK'S POV
I was sitting in the college park.
I didn't even realize how much time had passed.
When I looked around… it was dark.
"Oh shit…" I said under my breath.
I checked the time 9:30 P.M.
And then I saw her - Ayesha.
Walking alone and She looked frustrated.
Her hands were moving… like she was angry.
Maybe talking to herself.
I looked away.
"She's not important," I said in my mind.
But still… I followed her.
🌸 AYESHA'S POV
"Are you following me?" I said, turning back suddenly.
"No," he said.
"Liar. I hate liars," I said. 😤
He sighed "Fine. Yes I am following you ," he said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you're walking alone at 9:30," he said.
"Oh really? Fake concern?" I said sarcastically.
"This happened because of you!" I said angrily.
"Because of me?" he said.
"Yes! Who gave me that mess?" I said.
"And you finished it," he said calmly.
I stopped .....Then smirked.
"Of course I did," I said. 😏
"Then don't complain," he said.
"Stop following me," I said.
"I won't," he said.
"But why ?" I asked.
"I don't let my colleagues walk alone at night," he said😒
We walked in silence.
"Are you following the sidewalk rule?" I asked suddenly.
"What?" he asked.
"You're walking on the outside 😏😏," I said.
"That's because people can easily kidnap you," he said.
"What the hell is wrong with you ?!" I said. 😤
"You're small and careless," he said.
" And You're unbelievable," I said.
We reached my hostel.
"You can leave now," I said.
"I was already going," he said.
He turned and walked away.
I stood there for a second.
I don't know why. Then I went inside.
🌑 KARTIK'S POV 🔥
I reached my PG .... I didn't rest.
Files.... Papers.....Notes..... Online Lectures .
I didn't even realize when the night ended.
🚿 I took a quick shower.
The cold water hit my skin, but my head still felt heavy.
I wore a simple outfit.
A loose white and black half-sleeve shirt with "South Pole" printed on it. Dark blue jeans. White sneakers (Guys his outfit)➡️
My hair was slightly messy…
but still looked clean ... I didn't bother fixing it.
🏫 I reached college early.
Too early I think
The whole campus was empty.
I walked into the classroom.
Sat down.
I don't know why but My head was hurting badly.
But I ignored it.
"Just for a second…" I said to myself.
And then… Everything went blank.
🌸 AYESHA'S POV
I reached college too early I think .
I walked toward the office but I saw my classroom door is opened .
I walked into the classroom.
And then I saw him ,Kartik
Sleeping On my seat.
I blinked "What is wrong with this man…" I said. 😑
I walked closer.
"Kartik…" I said softly.
No response I tapped him.
"5… minutes…" he said. 😴
"Seriously?" I said.
"Wake up," I said.
🌑 KARTIK'S POV
I hear a voice ...a familiar voice..... Her voice.
I slowly opened my eyes.
"Ayesha…"
"Morning… Vice President," I said.
🌸 AYESHA'S POV
"Morning… sleepy head," I said. 😏
We went to the office.
Something felt off.
"Kartik?" I said.
No reply I looked at him again.
He was pale Then suddenly—
He leaned back… "KARTIK!" I said. 😳
I held his hand.
And froze.
"He's burning…" I said.
I touched his forehead. "Oh God…"
I ran to get medicine and water.
"Kartik, wake up," I said.
"I'm fine…" he said weakly.
"Shut up and Don't be a stubborn ," I said. 😤
"104…" I said.
"You need a hospital," I said.
"No…" he said.
"Stop being stubborn!" I said.
"Medicine…" he said.
I sighed "Did you ate breakfast ?"
"No…"
"Unbelievable," I said.
I opened my lunch.
"Eat," I said.
I helped him eat.
Gave him medicine.
Then I dipped my handkerchief in cold water 💧
and placed it on his forehead.
Time passed…and passed and I Changed handkerchief again and again.
He slowly rested his head… on my shoulder.
I froze .... But I didn't move.
Water dripped on my clothes.
It felts uncomfortable But I stayed still ...
🌑 KARTIK'S POV
I slowly opened my eyes and first thing I saw
My head… on her shoulder.
I immediately sat up and said what the .....But then I noticed her.
Her clothes… wet.
Without thinking—I took out my jacket from bag.
And placed it over her shoulders. 🧥
She looked at me.
Shocked. 😳
"I didn't ask you to do this," she said.
I smirked slightly.
"Clearly… you needed it," I said. 😏
Silence.
Something had changed.
But both of us…was ready to accept it.
