Mumbai, India
Today was Anya Mathur's first day at Mumbai's International College. She looked very happy. She had a special reason for taking admission to this college.
Anya was 18 years old. She had hazel eyes. She was exceptionally beautiful. Anyone who saw her once would just keep looking at her. She was that beautiful.
Anya was currently in her hostel room. Her friends Parul and Siya were also with her. They were her roommates. Her hostel room was so big that four people could easily share it.
Parul and Siya said, "Anya, let's go shopping."
Anya said, "I don't want to go; I'm already very tired. You two go." Anya lay down on her bed and covered herself with a blanket.
Siya said, "Parul, let it be; she's not coming. She's waiting for a message from her 'online secret boyfriend' whom she doesn't even know. Neither his name, nor his work, nor has she ever seen him. She is just obsessed with that man. Leave it, we will go." Both of them left the room.
Anya removed the blanket from herself and quickly picked up the phone and messaged someone. But there was no reply. Anya was getting restless; why had she not received a reply yet?
She got up from the bed. She started pacing around the room. Then she sat back on the bed and began thinking about something.
Flashback
Bengaluru
One year ago, when Anya was 17 years old, her dad Shrikant gave her a phone. She was very happy to see the phone. She had downloaded all the social media apps on it.
For a few days, she was very excited about the phone, but then she started finding it boring. One day, Anya was lying on the bed. She received a message from a social site saying, "Hello." She saw the message but ignored it.
The next day, another message came from the same person. She ignored it again. One month passed like this, but the messages from that man did not stop coming. Anya was busy studying, so she didn't find it necessary to pay so much attention.
Then one night, she was lying on the bed. She was tossing and turning. She received a message again. Anya picked up her phone and started looking at the message. This time, the message read, "Why are you ignoring me?"
Anya thought whether to reply or not. Then she messaged, "Who are you?"
The reply came from the other side, "Your reply is coming after one month."
Anya said, "Look, answer what I have asked. Who are you?"
The reply came from the other side, "What's in a name, my little strawberry."
Anya said, "This man is crazy; he's saying anything. I don't have to reply to him." She kept the phone aside and went to sleep.
One more week passed like this. After that day, that man did not send any message.
Anya got worried. Why hadn't his message come? Anya said, "I should message him." She quickly messaged, "Hello." At the same moment, the man's reply came from the other side. "My little Strawberry missing me?" Anya replied, "Nothing like that." Anya again sent a message, "Who are you? Why are you bothering me by sending such messages?" The man from the other side replied, "If you think I am bothering you, then you will not receive my message again." Anya quickly replied, "That is not what I meant."
Just like that, Anya started talking to that man. She had become used to talking to him; on days when his message didn't come, she used to get restless.
That man never revealed his identity, nor did Anya ever ask him. One day he proposed to Anya, and Anya said yes. From that day onwards, he became Anya's secret boyfriend. Anya had gone crazy in love with that man.
One day Anya asked his age. That man said, "27." Anya said, "You are 10 years older than me. I am just 17." Then that man said, "Baby, I will never disappoint you in bed." Anya's secret boyfriend was very possessive and obsessed with Anya.
Their conversation continued like this. At the insistence of that man, Anya convinced her dad and decided to study in Mumbai. He used to send very expensive gifts to Anya too. One year passed like this in their relationship.
Flashback End
Anya said, "Why hasn't his message come yet? Earlier, I used to tease him; now he's teasing me. I'm not going to talk to him at all." She again lay down with the blanket. Just then, a message came on her phone. Anya quickly got up and started checking the messages.
The message was from her secret boyfriend. It was written in the message, "I have very important work. I will not message for a few days. Take care of yourself, my little strawberry."
Anya put the phone back and said, "What is this? Does anyone do this?" She again lay down with the blanket. She didn't even know when she fell asleep.
Next Morning
Siya and Parul were trying to wake Anya up. But she was not getting up. She said, "I don't want to go to college today. You two go. I'm not in the mood."
Parul said, "It seems her online boyfriend didn't send a message, that's why she's in a bad mood. Let's go."
Siya, trying to scare Anya, said, "You know, a new professor is coming to college today. He's going to teach us Biology. On top of that, he's very strict too." Both of them left.
.
Anya quickly got up and sat down after hearing their conversation. She quickly got out of bed and ran towards the bathroom. It took her 10 minutes in the bathroom. She quickly changed her clothes, picked up her college bag, and swiftly left the room.
Her hostel was within the college itself. She was running fast. She reached the college. Suddenly, she collided with someone. She looked back and saw a 28-year-old man, and he had cornflower blue eyes. He was looking at Anya very carefully. Anya quickly ran away from there.
She came and sat in her class. Parul and Siya said, "You weren't supposed to come to college today. Then how did you come?"
Anya said, "You know what, I don't want to fail in B.Sc. first year."
Just then, Principal Harshvardhan entered the class. He said, "Silence, students." All the students became silent and started looking at the principal.
Principal Harshvardhan said, "I want to introduce you all to your new professor." Just then, the professor entered, whose eyes were cornflower blue.
Anya was looking at him with her hazel eyes. Anya softly said, "Is this the professor? Oh God, what happened. I bumped into the professor and his books fell on the floor."
"I didn't even say sorry. What will he do to me now?" The cornflower blue-eyed man was looking at Anya. He bit his lower lip.
Anya, who was looking at him, her eyes widened.
Then the principal said, "This is your new professor, Rivan Birla."
All the girls were saying, "Oh my God. He is so hot and handsome."
But Rivan's cornflower blue eyes were looking only at Anya.
That's for today's chapter 💋💋💋
