First class

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.
