"Safa get up...u will miss ur classes" shouted a girl in her mid 20s while rushing out of the washroom.

"Hmmm" was all she got in response irritating her further...her sister was a lazy cat and needed some action to get out of her sleep coma state.
So..snatching the blanket, she pulled her not so little sister out of the bed and literally pushed her in the washroom.

This was Inaya Shah's daily routine. She had just started working in an IT company and so still struggling to catch up with the new routine.

"Safa u completed your assignment?" asked Inaya while munching on her paratha.

"No... I am still stuck ...will need a day more to finish it " Safa replied in a plain tone sipping on her juice. Inaya was surprised to see such a calm tone..."And your favourite professor will allow it..last time i heard he was too cruel to give these kinds of grants" Shs raised her eyebrows at Safa stifling her laughter.

"Aapi...please aise subah subah mood na kharab kiya karein" Safa grimaced keeping her juice down.

"Acha....but what I have heard from your friends..seems like he is very handsome"

"Kaun phaila raha hai aisi afwahein" Safa was not at all happy at the piece of news.

"Aapko kabhi unka chehra roz subah dekhna pade tab pata chalega aapko ...ki" Safa would have continued but stopped hearing the footsteps of her father.

"Good morning Abbu" both the sisters chirped." Zakir smiled and wished them back. Seeing Safa leisurely eating her noodles, Inaya nudged her showing her the watch making her get up at once....."ok bye.... ...." she ran out of the house throwing her bag on her shoulder.

" Ye Akdu Professor cheez kya hai...itna khauf failaye rakha hai" Inaya soliloquised...

At college

"Itna sannatta kyu hai bhai" Safa shouted entering the class ...

" Aaj Hitler Maths k answer sheets dikhayega" her friend whispered into her ear ...to which the her face turned pale and she made a run towards the last seat not wanting to be in the periphery of Hitler's eyes.

"Yaar ye acha nahin lagta....sabke samne dhindora peetne ki kya zaroorat hai......tch.. I did well...but phir bhi" Safa was highly upset and kept doodling in her register.

"Toh...itna kya tension yaar...you did well na" her friend Noor tried to cheer  her up

"Wo toh mere hisaab se 'did well' ...."

"Acha matlab just pass" Noor said non chalantly blowing at her nails...

Suddenly, the students started grabbing  their seats creating a commotion

"Aa gaya Hitler.....Toofaan se pehle ka nazaara..."

A  man entered the classroom with a file and a marker in his hands.....his demenour shouted of his strictness and no nonsense attitude.

"Good morning" his commanding voice boosted his presence making the class go all quiet .. after reciprocating the wish.

"So........excited to see how you all performed" he said opening the file which had the answersheets.

Safa was murmuring prayers with her eyes closed.......but then her name echoed in the class making her squirm

"Ms Shah could u pls enlighten us all with the theories you presented in the exam... I was not wise enough to grasp those..may be" a sarcastic comment by her favourite professor and she knew she was dead.

"Ms Shah  stop hiding behind the book ......45 out of 100...tomorrow with your guardian at sharp 10"

"S..sir...I was not well..."

"Yeah...that's what I am saying you are not well........" he paused and then added "in Mathematics".

"Abbu will kill me ...better I burn the papers...no no Professor Khan will eat me alive.." Safa kept blabbering. ...Suddenly her face lightened with an idea "Aapi".

-----
"Zakir do you think our kids will agree for the alliance. ...Nausheen toh Inaya Mihran ke shaadi ke zikra se hi itni khush ho gayi ki...aaj pura schedule Mihran ke saath rakha hua hai use manane k liye" Rizwan smiled remembering  his wife's excitement over the matter.

"Inaya meri pasand k ladke se hi shaadi karegi...so I m sorted that way...Let's see what will be Mihran's decision" Zakir told Rizwan earning a smirk in return "Don't worry Mumma's boy will agree to his mother's fancies at the end of the day" Rizwan laughed.

Zakir and Rizwan were thick friends and were working in the same bank .

-----

"Aapi u have a meeting with my Professor at 10...so don't be late" Safa announced in the bedroom.

"Excuse me I don't intend to be your so called Dracula's meal ask Abbu to do the honours" her sister retorted .Moreover my project's deadline is also nearing ..I will only be a little free after two days.

"Cool ...I don't mind bunking college for two days" Safa smiled and jumped on the bed.

"This girl" Inaya closed her eyes shaking her head.

----------------

"Mihran"

"Ammi......"

"Arre mai use janti hun...bahut achi bachi hai.........tumhare Abbu ke achhe dost ki beti hai......"

"Ab aapki pasand hai...toh mai doubt nahi kar raha.....it's just....."

"Hmmm....mai sun rahin hun bolo" Nausheen leaned on the couch

"Kuch nahi....."

"Sahi ho beta tum" she asked touching his forehead

"Dekho....tumhe shaadi nahi karni toh theek hai........." Nausheen said  and Mihran relaxed but before he could get up, she again started "phir kya hua agar mera ek hi beta hai....phir kya hua agar............."

Minutes passed but her ramblings with a little sniffing didn't stop....

"ok ok I am ready for the marriage" said Mihran to which Nausheen couldn't stop herself from flashing her all pairs of teeth ............

Poor boy finally succumbed to his mother's melodramatic threats and not to forget her Inaya nama...seemed like she was totally smitten.

And within an hour Mirhan was sitting with a photograph in his hand ...BUT the frustration was replaced by a besotted smile which didn't dare to leave his charming face...
Like mother like son..totally smitten!!!!

------

"Inaya has said yes..I am so excited" shared Zakir with his younger daughter

.."Wohoo Aapi's marriage. ...I will get a Jiju ...he should be supercool...atleast show me the pic Abbu" chirped Safa.

"Tum jao room me...mai wahin le kar aata hun"

---------

"No.. this can't be your Dracula professor" Inaya exasperated...after Zakir left ..to which she saw her sister's head nodding "Unfortunately yes he is"...

There was a dead silence and then "Abbu" Inaya shouted through the hallway .
" I know I know u are too excited on seeing your would be husband's pic ..I am so happy Inu. ..Mihran is a gem he will always keep you happy........your Ammi would have been so happy"  Zakir expressed his joy after which Inaya couldn't speak a word......she had never seen her father so happy after her mother's death.

Inaya had always dreamt of a romantic husband...but reality was going the other way...she was making assumptions on Safa's rantings about how cruel and arrogant her professor was!!!

-------
"Safa....I am so scared" Inaya made a crying face

"Arre kuch nahi hoga 2-4 theorems roz rat lena...he will be impressed. ...Moreover he is too good with his favourite students..." winked Safa which earned her a deadly glare from Inaya.

"Ok ok...waise u have to meet him as my guardian tomorrow"reminded Safa . "No" Inaya retorted.

"Yaar Hitler kha jayega mujhe kuch nahi to date samajh kar mil lo..." Safa begged.

Inaya started throwing pillows at Safa and shouted "NO".

"OK...I will see u at 11 in the campus tomorrow."chirped Safa.

" I said NO" Inaya shouted to which Safa covered herself with the blanket and started faking snors.

------------

"Arre ek problem ho gayi Zakir ...Mihran  ko 4 mahine baad Bangalore university join karna hai...wahan thoda difficult ho jayega uske liye leave lena.....Waise maine Kazi  sahab se baat ki thi... aur unhone do mohine k andar ki ek taariq batayi hai"

" Itni jaldi.......acha mai dekhta hun Inaya se baat karke..." Zakir put down the phone and walked to the dining table.

"Good morning" Zakir wished both his daughters on the dining table.

They were queitly having breakfast when Zakir told them about Mihran's  transfer. "Beta I know jaldi hai but phir ek baar Bangalore jane k baad wo bahut busy ho jayega...naya college hoga..." he expressed his thoughts. Inaya was queit...Zakir  mistook that as blushing...and again said "Acha beta then apply for a transfer ". Inaya went to her graveland thinking "Hitler k saath Bangalore me akele..."

And here Safa was in her dreamland " Hitler se chutkara"

---------

At college

After ending his lecture Prof Khan was all ready to take the attendance.

" Attendance bhi end me leta hai taaki koi iske changul se nikal na paaye...HITLER " Safa was busy cursing him when  someone's voice distracted her.

"Roll 64 ...Roll 64."....

"Ye yes sir " Safa at once shouted .

" OUT " Mehran  said in a deadly strict tone. His tone used to serve the first warning and the last as well.

"Saare Period k saath attendance bhi kha gaya" Safa  blabbered and started walking out....."Aise hi meri Aapi ko bhi kha jayega"

After 5 minutes

Mihran came out of the class

"Ms Shah where is your guardian"

"Sir my sister will be there at 11" said Safa hiding her smirk.

------------

Here Inaya's thoughts were full of one person at the moment...Mihran Khan.

"Kitna awkward lagega...tch ..how I wished to go on a romantic date with my fiance and here " she was walking towards the campus with all the negative thoughts.

"Professor Mihran Khan's cabin" She asked the peon to which the peon escorted her to the cabin and told her to wait.

"I am so sorry Ms Shah to keep you waiting" Mihran apologised entering his cabin.

Inaya turned at the sudden voice ...and the two pairs of eyes got fixed at each other...in a trance probably...untill someone knocked the door.

"Come in "said Mihran and the devil  entered.

"Sir she is my elser sister  Inaya Shah " Safa introduced Inaya.

All of them got seated and after sometime Safa saw the eighth wonder of the world MIHRAN JALLAD KHAN smiling ...

"Inaya err Miss Shah" started Mihran in a don't know what tone...with a finger scratching his neck.

" Safa seriously needs to improve in Geometry and Calculus sections....she had been doing terrible in her tests" Mirhan seriously showed concern for his prospective sister in law.

"I know Sir...she is a little weak ...she will be joing the tuitions from next week" Inaya said looking at Safa.

"SIR" was all Mihran heard and he felt scandalised but controlled himself and smiled "I know she will improve once she starts paying attention..she is a good student".

"Girgit ki tarah  rang kaise badal raha hai HITLER " Safa was surprised at his kind words.

After sometime, Mihran turned towards Safa " Ms Shah..could u please wait outside ...I need to talk to your guardian on some serious things"
Safa fake smiled and walked out of the cabin.

" Serious things matlab ..ab mera bhi Maths ka interview lega yeh...Safa ne kaha tha 2-4 theorems rat lo" Inaya was getting tensed.

"Inaya" Mihran called to get her out of her thoughts.

"Yes Sir...anything serious"

"Wo Actually. ...I know this is not the correct place...but can we meet this weekend ..." asked Mihran hesitantly.

"Kyu wahan test dena hai" blabbered Inaya

"What" came out of Mihran's mouth.

"Aaah...nothing why not... sure" Inaya covered up

"Cool see you this weekend then" Mihran smiled and got up to go...but suddenly turned

"I am your sister's Professor ...not yours...so only Mihran will do" Mihran winked and left...

And someone was in a shock...u guys probably know who it was.

------------------------

Hitler ke iraade nek nahi lag rahe....mai bata rahi hun jaisa dikh raha hai na waisa hai nahin wo" Safa was on her full on detective mode. She just couldn't digest the version of Mr. Khan she got a glimpse of today.

" Shaadi k baad he will show his true colours" Safa finally kept her analysis and hopped on the bed for a good night sleep snatching away the sleep from her sister's eyes.
Safa's talks again brainwashed the little bit of charm Mr. Khan had managed to inflict.

--------------

Mihran was humming a song while gelling his hair.
His mother came there with a bowl of curd which amused him to no ends.
"Ammi I am not going for an exam" he laughed off.
"Aaj tak to tujhse kuch hua nahi...mera dahi-shakkar hi kuch kamaal dikha de" Nausheen retorted back.
" Ouch I got offended" Mihran acted which earned him a light slap from Nausheen.

"Your son certainly knows how to woo his future wife...I bet u have underestimated his romantic skills" teased Rizwan who came there to pacify Nausheen who was angry with him over some matter.

"Wo to hai Abbu...but looks liks you r in dire need of some romantic tips ...Mind if I give some" Mihran winked.
Nausheen gave a deadly glare to both father and son..

" Aaah I m getting late...all the best" Mihran kissed his father's cheek and ran outside.

-------------------

"11 baje ka bol kar Hitler khud history me chala gaya...zaroor question paper bana raha hoga mere liye khadoos" Inaya looked at her watch and next second hung her head down and started murmuring something.

"Sorry..." the voice distracted her and she lifted her face up to see a smiling Mihran infront of her.

Inaya fakesmiled and the duo got engaged in a casual talk. Mihran found Inaya looking at her lap perpetually..."Any problem " he asked.
"Aah ...nothing" she stammered. Suddenly a waiter passing by lost his balance and hit Inaya's leg and Thadap. ...something fell down from her lap. Inaya immediately regained her composure and tried to grab the thing but it was too late. Mihran had already done the deed and was now scrutinising it with great interest.
And suddenly a loud laughter echoed. .."Oh God...did u really think" he was not even able to complete and again started laughing.

"Had you told me about your interest in Algebra. .I would have recommended a far better book" he finally spoke . He couldn't even imagine in his dreams that Inaya would be sitting with an Algebra book on their first date.

To say Inaya was embarrassed would be an understatement. ...she was just waiting for the floor to split up and swallow her.
Seeing her uneasiness, Mihran finally stopped laughing and shifted closer to her.

" Inaya ...I know my biggest fan must have sung my praises to you...but in all my modesty I would say that I don't mix my personal life with my professional life. ..there I am a professor and here I am your fiance. ..and one thing I would like to clear for once and all... I want to excel in both the departments with flying colours so..dare you stop me from achieving my goals " he threatened in his fake dominating voice....making Inaya blush.

What happened a few minutes back finally broke the ice between the two.

"Sometimes i feel we have met before too...I mean you look somewhat familiar..." Inaya vocalled out her confusion.

" Line maar rahi ho" Mihran teased..."I am leaving" she retorted.

"Oh..ok  fiesty girl... if we go down the memory lane you might recognise me as one of your super seniors in college" Mihran revealed a fact making Inaya's mouth wide open.

Mihran closed her mouth with his finger with a smirk.

"It's not my fault ..u r almost unrecognisable.....your hair......u were too cool back then...moreover we never talked...I might had just seen you a couple of times"

Inaya defended herself like a child to which he smiled and said " I will provide you with all the cooling effect after marriage" . Inaya's cheeks turned cherry and to avoid the topic she said" I will continue to work after marriage".

" Believe me I would have made you forcibly do that...Khaali dimaag shaitaan ka ghar...tumhari behen ka gyan mere upar hawi ho sakta hai ...pata chala Hitler samajh kar sach me thok diya" Mihran joked to which they both started laughing....without any inhibitions!!!!

Let's see how Prof Khan teaches his wife some LOVE THEOREMS😉😉
