In Love With A Spy

“Everybody got the reading assignment copy”, said a lady in her late 50’s to her students.

“Yes ma’am”, replies to the students in a musical cadence.

“Pay attention students, everyone please pay attention”. “Biology is not an easy subject but, if you understand the past of human evolution then it will help you in grasping things better so take this assignment seriously”.

Everybody responds with “Yes ma’am”.

The class dismisses. The students flew as captured prisoners to freedom.

Anagha, a 16-year-old boy waiting for a girl to come out of the class asks frivolously, “Can I get your notes? “

“No! ”, replies Nitya.

“Why? ”, enquires the boy.

“Are you mad? ”, says the girl with frustration.

“Why do you think so?”

“You certainly are!”

“But why can't I get your notes?” 

“Because may be I don't like your face” 

“What about face in asking for notes?” 

“Why on earth do you ask a lot of questions?”

“Because asking questions is good, I read it somewhere!”

“Aahhh….! You are very irritating. Look, if by any chance you like me then don’t show me your face again.”

The boy says nothing for the moment. The girl turns around and hears a whisper “As you say, Nitya” on her back.

The girl leaves.

She came back the next day and tries to look for the boy, but couldn’t see him around.

“Anagha, has to leave the coaching due to some family issues”, announces the teacher in the class. “Today we’ll talk about the Human Past”, continues the teacher.

------------------------------------------4 years Later------------------------------------------

During the basic anatomy classroom session, Professor Batra stops his lecture and says, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” 

Everybody in the class turns their sight at the spot where professor Batra gestured.

“You in the blue cap”

The boy replies by saying, “just looking at her”. 

“This is a class, you can't do that”. 

“Why, Sir? Why can't I? “

“ Idiot! You are gawking at a random girl and you are asking me to provide a rationale for this. You ought to be kidding me, are you?”

“No, sir! Actually, she is someone I know.”

“Is it? You please get up at your place”, asks the professor to the girl. 

The girl stood up looks at the boy again and says, “No sir I don't know him”. 

 “You Idiot! Get out of my class. I'll complain about it to the dean of the college if you don't leave now.” 

The boy leaves the class in next 2 minutes. 

"Boys like these are ridiculous to deal with" , murmurs the professor. 

---------------------------------------------Class Ends----------------------------------------------------

"You Mister, what is your name? Stop ", came the girl bouncing towards the boy. 

The boy stops.

“Who are you, brother? The girl tries to come in the front but the boy keeps turning avoiding the girl”.

The girl keeps on saying while trying to see his face. “Do you even understand what I felt in the class? Do you know what these people are gossiping? Why are you hiding your face, Idiot?”

“You only asked me to not to show my face. Remember?”, replies the boy

“I said”, girl enquires.

“Yes, in the Past”, replies the boy

The girl suddenly realizes whom she is talking to.

You? asks the girl.

“Yes, me”, replies Anagha.

“Oh my God! You followed me all the time? Damn! It was you with a scarf when I went for the Shimla trip?

Nods the boy.

You are mad! Wait, you are following me to get those Biology notes?”

“No”, smiles Anagha. “ Just you”, continues the boy.

“ I see! So, from the past four years, you were following me?”

“Aa-haa!”, replies Anagha.

“Seriously man, I feel like I was under some surveillance all the time!”

Anagha starts laughing madly. So, did Nitya.

“Let’s sit somewhere”, asks Nitya.

They find green wet grass on the campus to sit on.

“You can be a very good spy, I mean I couldn’t find out that someone is around me for all these years, says Nitya. “You should try”.

“As you say, Nitya”, grins Anagha.
