Romance College Love ❤️

[Leo VIKRAM]

A 22-year-old college student was attending his first-year lectures with his five male college friends. They were all boys because he was introverted and had a fear of talking to unknown people, especially girls. However, he did talk somewhat to a girl named Anshika who sat two benches behind him. He spoke to her because Anshika was the daughter of his father's childhood friend and business partner.
Only two weeks of classes had passed in his first year, and today, he and his friends planned to leave before the official departure time (meaning, bunk the last two periods) and ride home on their bikes. (His parents hadn't given him a bike due to safety concerns.)
During the second break, he went to the canteen to buy Chowmein for himself and his friends. But when he arrived back at the classroom just two minutes before the break ended, he realized his friends weren't there. When he asked his classmate, Anshul, he was told they had already gone home. The boy was shocked. They were supposed to leave after the sixth lecture (the one starting after the second break), yet they had left him behind alone. Now he would have to take the public bus, which was usually late and crowded. He felt very sad.
The lecture began, and the professor (Miss Komal) entered with a cute girl,

introducing her to the class as a new student joining that day. The boy, however, was still preoccupied with why his friends had abandoned him. The new girl came and sat next to him, placed her bag on the bench, and put her face down on the bag as if she were sleeping.
The madam dictated the assignment questions and then instructed everyone to solve them immediately in class, not later at home. About ten minutes later, the boy was jolted when the madam announced she was coming around to check their work. He realized he had been too lost in his thoughts to hear the questions until the new girl nudged him and asked, "Can you give me those questions?"
He panicked and turned around to ask Anshika. The new girl asked him why he hadn't written the questions down. He quickly replied that the madam had never before asked them to solve assignments in class, so he had planned to get the questions from Anshika later.
He took the questions from Anshika, but by then, the madam had arrived at his bench and asked them to show her their solutions.
The new girl instantly replied, "Mummy, mera sar dard ker rha tha toh nahi kiya" (Mom, I didn't do it because I had a headache). The madam then asked if she was feeling better now, to which the girl nodded. The boy was completely shocked to realize that the madam was the new girl's mother.
The period ended, and the new girl then asked him, "Is the canteen open?" He replied, "No, it's closed, but why are you asking?" She answered that she wanted to eat something.
The boy then offered her his Chowmein, saying, "Eat this." She accepted and started eating in a childish manner. The boy was giving her a surprised look, so she explained, "Chowmein is my favorite, that's why."
Then she said, "You weren't paying any attention to me till now, and you're only giving me this and talking to me now that you know I'm her (Komal mam's) daughter."
The boy quickly countered, "It's not like that. My mood was off because my friends left me alone. I offered you this because I bought it for them, and since they left, I'm giving it to you because you need it. Otherwise, I would have given it to any needy person so it wouldn't go to waste."

Under the Professor's Gaze


Rohan’s life in the classroom was instantly transformed. Before Siya’s arrival, he was virtually invisible, a quiet boy two benches behind Anshika. Now, he felt the weight of Professor Sharma’s eyes in every one of her lectures.
If Rohan shifted too much, Miss Komal would pause mid-sentence, her gaze drilling into him until he froze. If Siya leaned over to ask a question, Miss Komal would clear her throat—a sound that could halt a charging elephant—and both Rohan and Siya would snap back to attention.
It was terrifying, yet strangely effective.Because he knew any slip-up would not just earn him a reprimand, but would reflect poorly on Siya—and potentially lead to an awkward phone call between their fathers—Rohan couldn't afford to be distracted. He began to pay absolute attention in Miss Komal’s class. He took meticulous notes, double-checking his formulas. He asked genuine questions, not because he was trying to impress Siya, but because he genuinely feared missing the next piece of instruction.
Siya noticed the change immediately.
“You know, you’re actually a brilliant student, Rohan,” she commented one day after class, as they hurried toward the library, having decided that the canteen was too public for their study sessions. “You were just sleeping through the whole thing before.”
Rohan shrugged, stacking a pile of textbooks. “Hard to sleep when your mother’s laser eyes are burning a hole in the back of my head.”
Siya laughed. “Fair enough. But this is good. I mean, you’re actually getting good grades in her subject now.”
Rohan realized she was right. His initial panic about being caught had morphed into a habit of focus. The presence of Professor Sharma’s watchful eye served as an external discipline that his usual fear of talking to people could never provide. He was no longer trying to avoid failure; he was actively striving for excellence to stay safe.

The Transformation Beyond the Classroom


The transformation wasn't limited to Miss Komal’s class. Siya had an energetic, outgoing personality that naturally pulled Rohan out of his shell. Since they started working together, he found himself doing things he never thought he would:
* Public Speaking: Siya enrolled them both in a mandatory group presentation. Rohan’s immediate reaction was to find a bomb shelter. Siya simply told him, "It's three minutes, Rohan. You can do it. And if you panic, I'll distract the professor and blame the microphone." This easy confidence helped him deliver his section, albeit with sweaty palms.
* The Old Friends: Rohan's original group of friends tried to reintegrate him, sensing a shift in the social hierarchy. "Hey, Rohan, Varun wants to know if you can get Siya to talk to him," Aman whispered one day. Rohan simply shook his head. "She's busy. I'm busy. Maybe next time." His old fear of losing them was gone, replaced by the value of a single, genuine connection.
* Anshika’s Approval: Anshika, after initially being cold, began to observe the change. She saw Rohan confidently leading a discussion group and carrying himself with a new, relaxed air. One evening, she messaged him, "My father saw your father yesterday. He said your father is very proud you're focusing on your studies. You're doing well, Rohan. And tell Siya I said hi." Her acknowledgment felt like a quiet stamp of approval on his new path.

The Unexpected Interruption


One evening, nearly a month into their dynamic, Rohan and Siya were the last two students left in the emptied library, packing up after a grueling chapter review.
Siya paused, looking at Rohan with a serious expression. “Hey, I have to tell you something. I might have to stop working this late with you.”
Rohan felt a sudden, sharp pang of disappointment. “Oh. Why? Is it… your mom?” he asked, bracing for the inevitable order from Professor Sharma to cease all contact.
“No, not really her,” Siya admitted, looking slightly guilty. “She was actually pleased. She told me last night that she trusts you because you haven't bunked any of her classes since that first day, and your performance is excellent. But she also said my dad is coming back from his business trip this weekend, and she wants me to spend more time at home now that he’s back.”
A wave of relief and disappointment washed over Rohan. He was safe from the professor's wrath, but his best study partner—and only real friend in college—was about to become less available.
"I see," Rohan said, trying to sound mature. "Well, that's good about your dad. And I guess I can handle the rest of the syllabus myself."
Siya smiled, a soft, encouraging look. “You don’t have to handle it yourself, silly. You just won't have to worry about my mom catching us talking in class anymore."
She paused, then added, "But you still owe me a new bowl of Chowmein. You know, for services rendered."
Rohan’s serious demeanor broke into a wide, honest smile. His life was still complicated, but the fear was gone, replaced by a sense of hope and a shared inside joke.
