Priya's POV

Today is the day on which that wasp asked me to go for a date with him.

He is irritating me for the last few days by sending me text messages asking me if I had lunch and dinner. As if I would die hungry till he will not ask me about it. Huh!

He was texting me the venue from the morning and when I didn't reply he called me so I blocked his number. Mere pass bhad mai jaane ka bhi time nahi hai (I don't have time to go anywhere)

Shrugging my shoulders and flipping the hairs back I stepped ahead to fulfill my duty.

"Good morning Madam" all the students stood up wishing me in their melodious voice and popular song.

"Good morning students, sit down"

All of them settled in their respective places. I am a teacher by profession. I teach in a school in the daytime and in the evening I give paid tuitions. And at the weekends I give free tuition to the needy ones. They are those students who want to do something in their life, who want to study but don't have enough resources. So I provide them free tuition because this is the least that I could do for them.

"Where were we the last day?" I asked them.

"Madam we were studying Hindi" one of my favorite students informed me. She is very intelligent.

"So, today we will study Mathematics"

I turned to write Mathematics on the board. As my back faced the students I heard intrusive voice. I turned back to see what is wrong. Everyone became silent all of a sudden and started nudging each other.

Kuch to khichadi pak rahi hai inn bachcho m (Something is fishy)

I raised my eyebrow asking 'What?' And one of the students stood up gathering enough courage.

"Madam, aaj na.... Mathura mai na.... mela laga hai ( Today a fair has been organized in Mathura) he said hesitantly.

"Hmm... So?"

"So... Can we go there?" He asked pulling his one finger tightly out of nervousness.

"No!" I said sternly and he sat down.

"Madam please!" All of them said in unison except a few.

"Please Madam" they again requested when they found that I am unmoved by their requests.

"No means no. You can go after the lesson"

"Ma'am, please. We are not in a mood to study especially when the drums of the fair are inviting us to join it" one of the naughtiest boys said.

"I said something. And I know why are you requesting me. From here you will directly run to the fair without even informing your parents. Wo sochenge unke Rajkumar padh rahe hai or tum log waha tafri maar rahe honge(they will think that their prince and princesses are studying and you people must be wandering there without their knowledge)

"No Madam we promise first we will take their permission" a boy promised with fingers crossed that means they will surely break it.

"Still I am not leaving you. You have to take your lessons first. We are already running late. I teach you only twice a week. How would we be able to cover the whole syllabus"

"But...."

"NO!"

I turned around and wrote 'Mathematics' on the board.

"Hmm... So we will learn tables today. Repeat after me. Ok?"

"Ok madam" only two-three voices came as the others were sitting there making their cheeks balloons.

"May, I come in Masterniji?"

My eyes became wide as I turned my head towards the gate. He! What is he doing here? How does he come to know that I teach here?

How you could be so stupid Priya? He is a jerk. He must be well aware of Mathura's every girl.

"I know Masterniji that I am handsome. But I never knew that my smartness can impress a girl so badly that she won't be able to form any word"

And suddenly the classroom was filled with giggles of students. I snapped my eyes to them and they instantly placed their hands on their mouth to stop the giggles. But one or two still passed through the space between their fingers.

"I am still standing here Masterniji. May I come in?" He asked again.

"NO" I shouted in anger.

"Thank you" he stepped ahead and entered the classroom.

"I said no"

"Yes, I know. Aur mujhe ye bhi pata hai ki ladkiyon ki Na mai bhi Haan hoti hai (I also know that there is 'Yes' in 'No' of girls). Isn't it kids?"

He asked making himself comfortable among the students.

"Yes!" They squealed in unison.

"Get the hell out of my class right now" I yelled.

"Arrey Masterniji. At least take care of your words in front of kids. What they will learn from you?"

"That is my matter of concern. You just get out of my classroom right now... Or....." I threatened him.

"Or.... Or what?"

"Or...."

I looked here and there and my gaze fall on the duster. I picked it up and threw it directly on his face but he moved aside on time and the duster struck the front wall.

"Urrii baba, Ee to humare chehre ka geographia hi bigad deti abhi (Oh my God, she was about to ruin my handsome face)" he said dramatically which ignites anger within me.

"Minute se phle yaha se nikal jao warna hum bata de rahe hai geographia k sath tumhara itihaas bhi bigaad denge (Just shut up and leave the place within a minute)" I yelled in a breath.

"What do you eat in breakfast?"

"Huh!"

"Jab dekho tab aag hi ugalti rehti ho (You just keep on spitting fire every time)"

I closed my eyes and took deep breaths to control my rage.

"Madam ji hum jaein? (Ma'am can we go?)" I opened my eyes as a student requested me.

"No!" He instantly sat back in his place.

"Dekho (Look)...."

"Dekh hi rahe hein (I am looking)" he said placing his palm under his chin and looking at me from head to toe.

I breathed once more to ignore the jerk sitting in front of me.

"This is my time to give tuitions to students so please don't waste mine and my student's time and just leave" I tried to request him politely but it was not even near to politeness. But at least I tried!

"Haan to hume bhi apne sharan mai le lo Masterniji. Hume bhi thodi si Shiksha pradaan kardo (Take me into your shelter and provide me education, Madam) he said joining his hands and bowing his head.

"Maine mana ki tum gawar ho (I accept that you are illiterate) But I am not going to provide you any lesson"

"I have heard that school is just like a temple. No one returns empty-handed. And when I have come to your temple then don't let me go without anything" he opened his hands in front of me.

"At least look at your age"

"There is no age of learning things" he showed me his teeth. How much I wish to punch him tight and break his jaw.

"Tum kyu Mera Khoon pee rahe ho (Why are you sucking my blood?)" I asked all irritated.

"Because I am a wasp," he said folding his hands at the back of his head.

I gritted my teeth audibly and banged my hand over the table forcefully.

A pin-drop silence occupied the environment. As my student already know the range of my anger and they don't dare to take even a breath audibly when I am in this much rage.

"Ok, I am leaving"

"Hawww" suddenly the air was filled with the voices of disappointment as kids were enjoying our fight because they were getting a chance to escape from their lessons.

"Sorry kids, your madam is very cruel"

He turned to me.

"As I said I don't leave favor on anyone" he stepped ahead and stopped in front of me "so I am taking my favor with me" he picked up my bag before I could catch it "Now if you want it back then you have to come with me"

He left the classroom with my purse in his hand and whistling in his way.

I ran behind him and students started their party.

"I am coming in a minute. Keep silence"

As I came out of the room, I found him standing outside as if he was waiting for me.

"I knew that you would come" he smirked.

"Why didn't you reply to my calls and text messages?" He asked.

"I am not here to answer your nonsense questions. Give me my purse back"

"I will but first you have to come with me"

"I won't"

"Ok then, I won't return your purse either" he placed his hand on its zip "let me see what do you carry in this"

"Don't you dare to open it. Tumme tameez nahi hai ? (Don't you have any manners?)"

"Tumhare jaisa koi thi nahi na mjhe tameez sikhane wali (There was no one like you to teach me manners)" he pouted like a kid.

"I guess, I should call the police now. Kyuki paani ab sir k upar se nikal raha hai"

"Call kaise karogi? Purse to mere pass hai (How would you contact the police when I have your purse?)"

Oh how much I wish that I had my Nokia phone with me at the moment. I have used it as a brick to bang his head instead of calling the police.

"I hate you, tataiya" I said venomously.

"To, I konsa love you masterniji? (I don't love you too)"

I stomped my feet into the ground.

"Look I am not asking for much. It is a matter of just one hour. Uske baad aap apne raste aur hum apne raaste (After that we can go to our respective ways)" he smiled

I stayed silent as I was thinking about what to do. Should I scream to get the attention of people and ask them to beat him?

No!!! It won't be right. He has helped me. I can't do this with him.

"Ok, but after I teach the students"

"Oh come on Masterniji. Give them leave for the day. Don't you think that they too deserve some fun in their lives?"

"Yes.. but"

"Yes!!.... Wuhoooo"

Without listening to me he ran into the classroom, banged the duster on the table, and announced the leave.

"Chutti ho gyi, chutti ho gyi"

"Yayyyy"

Students squealed in excitement and vacant the room within a second saying thanks to him and he pinched their cheeks.

"Now shall we proceed?"

"Han agar tmse peecha chudane ka yahi tareeka hai to yahi sahi (yes if by doing this you would leave me alone then let it be)"

I said moving ahead and he followed me. He hung my purse on his right arm like a girl and everyone was staring at us. He was making me embrassed while he was unmoved by what others are thinking about him.

"Tera peecha Na mai chodunga soniya (I won't leave pursuing you, beautiful)" he started singing the song.

He turned his gaze from the public to me.

"Peecha Na mai chodunga soniye (I won't leave pursuing you)"

He changed his position and came to my left side from my back.

"Bhej de chahe jail main (You can send me to Jail)"

"Pyar k ..." He stopped as I gave him a deathly glare.

"Iss Khel mai (In the game of love)" he hummed the last words of the song in fear.
