Chapter 4                        The second meeting

Akshara's first day at the university, the weather is nice and sunny. She is sitting on a last row despite the seats being vacant on the rows ahead. She thinks interesting people and things happen to be on the back of the class, auditorium, crowd or a mass. She is definitely different than Destiny, in some ways she is like Ayden, in terms of thinking and acting, living the life and many more. She is definitely their daughter they can identify her even without the introduction if their friend sees their daughter.

Well, not far from her there is a boy, quite good looking, with his manner seems like a gentleman. He is wearing a white shirt and a black pants, with a black leather shoes, a Rolex watch and a faint smell of Bleu de Chanel cologne. He seems to be trying to remain low-key but definitely he is garnering much attention from both males and females, something like the saying, females want to be with him and males want to be like him.

Akshara is not back in garnering attention compared to Leo. The handsome boy is Leo. Leo notices Akshara, their eyes meet. Akshara smiles and Leo thinks that she recognizes him. He smiles back to her and comes next to her seat. But after he comes, she introduces herself, "Hello, nice meeting you, I'm... "Akshara" Even before she says her name, he tells her name. She is surprised, raising her eyebrow she says, "How do you know my name? Well I am sorry that I don't recognize you but can you tell me what your name is?"

"I think I am not going to tell my name to you, I think it's your own task. Well nice meeting you Akshara. And I think you have to remember yourself our first encounter. Have a nice day", says Leo. He leaves the auditorium. She follows him. They are in an elevator alone, now, pressing her against elevator he asks, "You know you are beautiful, right?" She nods. Again he asks, "you know I'm a man right?" Again she nods.

Actually she is not the type to be nervous around a guy. But in front of Leo, she loses all her logic and calm demeanor, her confidence too. She in different voice than her usual one, says, "Can you please tell me your name, then I will stop following you". She is blushing which is quite visible and now seeing her shy Leo is starting to lose his composure too.

He moves aside from her and says his name is Leo. Now they reach 25th floor which is principal's office. The elevator door opens and he leaves, before walking away he says, "If you follow me next time, I am not going to be a gentleman anymore. Bye"

Inside an elevator she is blushing thinking about what just happened. She thinks she definitely finds someone of her level. As mentioned above she is Ayden's daughter. She is not going to lose to Leo.

The next day, she chose her minor subjects in the university and her first class is literature. She goes to her class. Her classmates were already sitting in their respective seats. She choose the last seat, typical Akshara. Her professor comes to the class and introduces himself. His name is Michael.

After like a minute after professor entered the class, comes a dashing boy, directing all the attention to himself. The professor asks him to enter the class and take a seat. Akshara is focused on her book, Apollo's Daphne, a literature book related to the love story of Apollo and Daphne, she is quite focused that she is unaware that someone has entered the class.

The boy asks to her, "Can I take this seat?" She snapped out when she hears the voice that sounds familiar to her. She looks up and notices Leo. She nods saying he can take the seat. Now Akshara has to do something so that she won't fall for his sweet seductive words and his dashing good looks.

The professor Michael draws everyone's attention and says that they are going to act on a play related to Greek mythology. He says it has been like 25 years he has been doing the play with 1st year students. He thinks that it will help in getting familiar to teacher and students with each other
