" Right don't you have class now? How did you came her?", Cassian asked after remembering where they are right now.
"Damn it, I forgot in the confusion of what happened. We are in college and we are in class....and you are hugging me Cassian.", Riona said as she tried to get released from hid hug.
"Sorry," He withdrew his hands and looked at the people around them. They were murmuring and gossiping. All the conversation Cassian and Riona had was not heard by anyone as they were talking in low husky voice.
Even Professor Jason was smiling and talking to himself," being young is good. Finally some one is there to have you in control."
Riona stood and turned back to walk. Cassian grabbed her hand and stretched his other hand in the gesture of asking something.
Riona got it that he is gesturing for the phone.
Even though both according to the real time know each other at this time they are total strangers to each other not to mention having contact number of each other.
Riona understood his gesture and looked for her phone. As she expected she kept it in her bag and don't have it in her hand right now.
She closed her eyes resending on her clumsiness. She shook her head from side to side in saying that she don't have it.
He moved the notebook that he had on the table to her.
What can one expect from the silent killer. He was asking her to write down her number.
She picked up the pen. But not sure which number she is using at that time. So she wrote all the contact number she remember at that point of time.
As soon as she finished writing she turned and started to run without waiting for a second.
He tried the number and sent a message to Riona asking her to save his number.
The day went in slow manner than anytime. As he already experienced these days it didn't gave him the excitement that a new day usually give him.
As the time seemed to have stopped moving, He put down all the memories that he had in a paper as he was not sure how long he will retain those memories as this happened in one of the TV show he saw lately.
He well organized those memory along with the time period of it's happening.
He took his phone and look for Riona's number.
He typed,
'Meet me in the library after the whole classes got ended. I have things to discuss with you.'
As he believed that Riona would have saved his number, he didn't added his name and sent the message.
The day finally got ended. He had three lectures after the time he travelled back.
He stretched his body a bit and noticed that there are eyes gazing him. He quite don't understand why his friends are gazing him. Wait is it appropriate to call them Friends. He remember that he never took initiative to get closed to anyone in his class for the whole four years except for Riona and that to only because she had ability and good skillset of her own which is on par with his.
And no one in the class is actually dare to talk to him as he might give them a cold shoulder again.
"What happened?", Cassian asked.
Everyone's jaw just dropped down. The cold king of the Computer science department, NO the entire Golden university is actually talking.
"Why are you all in a daze. Did I said something wrong? If I remember correctly I just asked What happened.", He said in one go.
At last someone in the class broke the silence and began to speak, "Nothing, We are just used to the silent cold king of our department. We didn't expect you to speak casually with us. That is why everyone is unable to believe it."
Thinking of it back now, Cassian do realized how lonely he felt when he had no one to turn back when he needed someone to console him. He even pushed Riona away in the name of protecting her. In times he even regretted his decision of pushing Riona aside when they met a crisis. He wished he could have let her stay by his side as he know that she have feelings for him. But soon he will blame himself for thinking selfishly to drag her to the cruel hell along with him. He console him by saying that she is at least living the life that is promising for her future. Little did he know back then that seeing him suffering like that and can't do anything about that was the real hell that she gone through.
"It's nothing. I just asked you guys as it seemed that you guys have something that you need to ask me. Regarding my behavior before this day, I was a little bit careless as I didn't mind the importance of talking to someone back then. So, I am sorry if my behavior earlier had ever hurt you guys. And you guys should get used to the current self of me, As I may even get annoy you guys as I will try to be casual with you guys.", Cassian said with a sincere heart that now long to have some people around him just like others.
Again everyone dropped their jaws. This is the long time that Cassian ever spoken in the class not to mention to his classmates.
The guy from before cleared his throat and continued," Then Will you tell us what happened to you lately and are you feeling well now."
"Before answer to your question, May I know who you are?", Yes, He remember seeing that guy once or twice in past but never know his name.
"I am Jorden. Actually I am from different department. We only have this Augmented reality class in common. So you won't find me in your department.", He said.
"Hi, So now to answer you, I was too exhausted and collapsed. Sorry to worry you guys. I am fine know. You said you are from a different department. May I know which department you are from."
"I am from Visual communication and graphics studies of the School of Art and science."
"Glad to meet you. I would like to have a talk with you. But I have an appointment. So need to go. And if I am not wrong You are that top student of school of Arts and Science, Right?", Cassian said as he stood to make his move and he extended his hand.
Jordon was someone Cassian began to admire in past as he successfully made his way to be a top entrepreneur unlike him who failed miserably. He never know how He looked like. He had only heard about him as Jorden rarely made public appearence. He didn't expect that he actually meet or to say exactly that they sat beside each other.
"I am glad that you know about me. I always like to follow your work for the past two years. you are fascinating. If you don't mind may I know where meeting is happening.", Shook his hand and also stood to walk.
"In Library.", Cassian said.
"Then We can have our talk on our way to the library.", Jordan said as he showed the way.
