After this, the HOD left the class. Then,
Professor Samor Deb: Kiara, please introduce yourself to the class.
Kiara: Okay, Sir.
Kiara: Hello, my name is Kiara Shergill. I completed my 12th grade from Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet.
Professor Samor Deb: I've never heard of this high school. Is it outside India?
Kiara: Yes, Sir, it's in the United Kingdom.
Professor Samor Deb: So, you came to Assam for your higher studies from the UK?
Kiara: Yes, Sir.
Professor Samor Deb: What does your father do? Did he transfer to India?
Kiara: No, Sir. My father hasn't been transferred. Actually, my father, Ravish Shergill, is the current CEO of Austin Group.
Professor Samor Deb: Is it the same Austin Group that is listed among the top 10 MNCs in the world?
Kiara: Yes, Sir.
Professor Samor Deb: Then why did you choose a small college here?
Kiara: Actually, my martial arts master advised me to come to Assam. My destiny says I will achieve a lot here, and I'll learn much more about ancient Ayurvedic healing techniques.
Professor Samor Deb: Oh... you're a martial artist. But you might be disappointed to know that there's no one in Silchar practicing Ayurvedic healing. You may find one or two experts in Guwahati.
Kiara: Actually, my father and I trust our master and his teachings. I believe I'll find someone here who can teach me the ancient Ayurvedic techniques.
Professor Samor Deb: (with a clear smile) Alright. Now, please go ahead and take your seat.
At that moment, everyone began to understand why the HOD had been so respectful towards Kiara.
Kiara sat down. However, this time, she didn't glance at Aryan even once and quietly took her seat.
Seeing Aryan being ignored by such a beautiful girl, Tamanna quietly spoke to Aryan.
Tamanna: You see, some girls know exactly who to ignore.
Mandeep: Tamanna, you don't know the real side of my friend. If you did, you'd never treat Aryan this way.
Tamanna: What side is that?
Aryan: Mandeep, Tamanna, stop your nonsense.
(What no one knew was how friendly Kiara and Aryan actually were when they practiced together.)
Throughout the class, many of the boys started trying to impress Kiara. On the other hand, as always, the girls were trying to catch Aryan's attention.
When the class ended, everyone started heading out to meet their friends.
Meanwhile, the whole college came to know about the stunning girl who had enrolled in BCom honors. Upon hearing the news, every boy in the college rushed to see Kiara and confirm the rumors. But after seeing her, everyone was mesmerized by her beauty. A few boys even approached her to talk or befriend her. But Kiara didn't respond to any of them and headed towards the college gate, where a posh Range Rover pulled up. Two martial artist bodyguards stepped out of the car, and one of them spoke:
Bodyguard 1: Kiara Ma'am, is anyone bothering you?
Kiara: No one, Krish.
Kiara: And Keshav, start the car.
They then got into the car, and it drove off from the college.
On the other hand, under the shade of a jackfruit tree, Aryan's friends were discussing Kiara. But Aryan said nothing. Just then, Aryan's phone rang.
Ring... Ring... Ring...
Aryan answered the call:
Aryan: What's up?
Kiara: Can we meet alone?
(Actually, Aryan knew Kiara would call him after leaving the campus.)
Aryan: Room number 11 at the Cachar Club, 30 minutes from now.
After saying this, Aryan ended the call.
Then he turned to his friends:
Aryan: Alright, guys, I have to go now.
With that, Aryan left the college campus. But before he could leave, Smita stopped him and asked:
Smita: Aryan, can you drop me home?
Aryan: No, I have something to do.
Smita: (in a sad tone) Fine, I'll go alone.
Aryan: (with a sigh) Alright, come with me. I'll drop you.
Without wasting any time, Aryan and Smita left. But suddenly, a group of people blocked Aryan's bike outside the campus. Aryan spoke:
Aryan: Manab, are you here for revenge?
Then, Manab answered with a hurt voice:
Manab: I won't let you go.
Aryan: Don't even try to touch me, or you'll burn.
Manab: Are you joking with us? That day, I only had 3 guys with me. But today, I have 10 solid friends who will beat you up like a pillow.
Aryan: Really?
When Kajol saw something wrong happening outside the campus, she quickly approached with her student union friends. Kajol then spoke to Aryan:
Kajol: Aryan, everything okay? Did anyone try to harm you?
Aryan: Do you think anyone can harm me?
Seeing Kajol and her student union members, Manab and his friends backed off. A little while later, they left. Kajol then asked:
Kajol: Aryan, do you think Manab might take a bigger step to harm you?
Aryan: Let him try.
Kajol: I know you can handle him. But what about Smita?
Aryan: Don't worry.
After thanking Kajol and her friends, Aryan walked away. He then dropped Smita off in front of her house.
Afterward, Aryan headed towards the Cachar Club. He collected the key to Room 11 from the reception and went up to the room.
Why does Kiara want to meet Aryan alone?
Why did Kiara ignore Aryan in the college?
Will Aryan's friends find out about Aryan and Kiara's friendship?
