A girl in group of students seeing here and there like looking for something or someone. "Divya Ray" someone shout from behind her. She trun behind and see her two best friends coming towards her.

"what are you two doing here?" she asked them. "we are here to support you on your first day in this new place, away from us." they replied. "And you know naa we feel little anxious for you after what happened to you." they say together. "Please stop, I don't want to remember those bad memories again. I come here to start a new life and I will surely. So please don't worry about me." she said.

"Di I hope you found the peace you want here." said one of the friends. " Theo please don't start again and Brain don't worry about me and both of you focus on your careers now" Divya says to her friends "now go and take care of yourself."

"You too." they say "and always take your medicine on time."

"OK and now go. 👋 " she said and hug both of them.

"Hello everyone, from today onwards you all will begin your life's new journey which will shape you all according to your dreams so chase your dreams with full passion but for achieving those dreams don't hurt anyone ever. Because sometimes your little mistakes can leave a huge shadow on others. And also I want to tell someone I see today that don't be afraid and always believe in yourself." Mr. Rajvanshi's words are like some type of assurance for Divya that no one can harm her and suddenly she felt little bit secure.

After the welcome ceremony all students go to their classrooms. Divya is also going for her classes and suddenly she bumps into someone and is going to fall down.

"Aah" she cried, closing her eyes in fear of falling down.

"Are you ok" asked the man who bumps with her.

When she hears the voice she looks up and sees that Mr.Rajvanshi is looking at her with worried eyes. Somewhat she feels happy and secure that other than her family and friends someone is worried for her.

"Miss are you ok" he asked again.

"OH ye..yes" she comes back to her senses and replies.

"Come on get up now or are you hurt somewhere " he asked and gives his hand to her to help her to stand.

"OH yes I am perfectly fine, don't worry " she said and takes his hand and stands up.

But suddenly she realized that she touched some other man without any fear except her brother, Theo and Brain. And even she is more surprised that she didn't panic or fear but feels secure by his touch.

"Thank you sir" she bowed and is about to go.

"Hey don't call me sir, I'm not even that old." he says.

"hm? so what should I call you" she replied innocently.

"OH so cute" he thought in his mind.

"Call me Shivansh" he says with a smile.

"hu? my brother smiles at someone other then his little sister or grandpa." **thought Dave who is his assistant and best friend from childhood.

"OK , so I am leaving " she starts to leave.

"Miss but before leaving can you tell me your name? " he said.

"OH I forgot to introduce myself " she said. "I'm Divya Ray, Phd scholar in the department of Environmental Sciences here in this university." she introduced herself.

"Bye Mr. Rajvanshi, I have to go now. My 1st lecture is about to start and I don't want to miss it." she left from there.

Shivansh is looking at a direction from where Divya left and a little smile appeared on his lips.

"So love at first sight?" Dave looked at Shivansh and said.

"Yeah, I think so." he replied.

"you are not denying that means you started to like her." Dave said with surprised face.

"Yeah, But I don't want to force her. I can see fear in her eyes when someone approaches her. " Shivansh said.

"But I didn't see fear in her eyes when she's talking to you." Dave said.

"Yeah I'm also thinking why?" he replied. "I want her to trust me so 1st I want to become her friend."

Divya's POV

I reached the door of my department's HOD Prof. R.K. Morgan's office, who is also my guide for the next 5 years.

Knock.knock. I knocked on the door.

"Come in" came the sound from the inside.

"Good morning, sir" I greeted him while entering the office.

"Good morning miss Ray" he replied.

"Are you ready to work hard to achieve your goals under my guidance for the next 5 years" Prof. Morgan said.

"Yes sir" I replied.

"So take this schedule from today onwards you will take lectures of UG and PG students and after that you will work on your research topic and show me your work progress to me every week's Saturday. Is that clear for you?"

"Yes sir" I replied.

"Now meet the scholars and staff of this department." Prof. Morgan introduced me to the staff and other scholars of our department.

"Hello, I am Ash, and I am your senior." said one of the scholars.

"Hello I am Riya."

" Hello I am aria."

" Hello I am Ruhaan."

"Hello I am Nathan."

Other scholars also introduced themselves to me.

"Hello I am Divya Ray. Nice to meet you all." I replied.

I watched time on my wristwatch and turned around in a hurry to say goodbye to others and ran towards the direction of the class of pg students where my first lecture was.

I stopped at the door of class in nervousness and anxiety seeing so many students. I started to feel scared, and various previous fears returned.

Just as I was going to step back suddenly I remembered the words of Mr. Rajvashi's which encouraged me to face my fears and i entered the classroom clutching books tightly in my one hand.

"Good morning students." I greeted students.

"I am Divya Ray, a new PhD scholar and from today onwards I am going to teach you Ecology." I said to students.

I begin my introduction lecture. Introducing the subject and its basic concepts while interacting with students.

After one and a half hours later the class finished. I gave assignment to students related to the subject, so

They can revise today's lecture.

After the class I returned to my desk provided by the department for scholars and settled down there.

"How was the lecture?" asked Aria.

"Good" I replied.

After a little chit-chat with other scholars i started my work on the research topic.

While doing my work my mind was repeatedly replaying the morning scene of how I am comfortable with Mr. Rajvashi's touches and how I feel protected and secure with him even though I never met him before.

I closed my eyes for a second and his face appeared in front of my eyes like I have known him for centuries.

"Shivansh" unknowingly called his name slowly, feeling something in my heart which i couldn't name.
