In another side,
Lisha - a cute and short girl. She has love with solving the puzzle, lives a messy life filled with emotional swings, live with her lovely mother, she was lazy and confused not so creative (less) but sharp minded.
The story moves on with lisha,
It's Monday morning. The alarm starts to ring at 5.00 am, the alarm rings several times but lisha in her deep sleep, her mom understands the situation.
" This girl ", came near her bed, yanked the blanket off, and gave lisha a light kick.
Lisha mom
Get up, or I'll bring a bucket of water this time.
Lisha
Five more minutes maa( in sleeping tone).
Lisha mom
(Angry tone) five mins? It's been 30 mins already.
Lisha mom
You will be late again ( gentle shake ).
Lisha
(sat up, her hair looks like a bird's nest) Why does Monday even exist (rubbing her eyes).
Lisha mom
(smirked) To remind lazy people like you that life isn't a weekend.
Lisha goes to the bathroom and fresh up, and gets ready for her school. By the time she reached the breakfast table, her mom set her favourite toast and tea.
Lisha
Hmmm... Thanks mom(with a smile).
Lisha mom

Not interestly... She moved on from the house, started to walk slowly then she realised it was getting late. So, she started to walk fast, a bus was already arrived, she run fast and finally getting into the bus, normally she go to the first bus but today she is last.
So, atleast she pick the second bus thank god, and it's new to her, So many place are there but it's not her familier bus so she decided to sit with anyone of them, go and sit aside with a person
But it's not comfortable to her, so she stood and went front, a guy staring at a window. She gets all of her confident to ask help to him. Then she did.
Lisha

She came to the school entrance, and looked at the building, thought for a few mins and saw the time. It's already late, so she walked slowly to the class, the staff was talking the class.
She waits sometimes and finally she enters the class, no reaction from the staff side because they know about lisha.
Lisha go and sit next to her friends and doing something like ( chatting, listening, sleeping, eating etc) it's the way she handle her school life, it's boring to her, school finish lisha walk fastly it's a one thing she do actively ( going home ) the whole week pass like this, Sunday is holiday. So she decided to sleep...
It's again monday, shamik and lisha are getting ready for their work uninterestly because of sunday, they came out from their home and walked fast to their bus stop.
By the way shamik correctly came to take the bus but lisha missed her first bus and waiting for the second bus.
Soon she also took the bus ( in the same bus of shamik ). She is searching for a seat, finally a seat is waiting for lisha.
Lisha go and sit there but suddenly realised about the person next to her, then she reacts like...

Lisha waiting for shamik to take the step first. But he stayed silent, just watching her with that same shy smile.
Lisha
( breaking the silence ) you seem lost in thought again.
Lisha
Are you always like this...
Shamik
Not really. It's just... You have this way of throwing me off balance.
Lisha
( raising an eyebrow ) oh..., is that a good thing or a bad thing !
Shamik
(smiling) I'm still figuring that out. But so far, it feels... Interesting.
Lisha
(teasing) interesting? That's a very safe answer shamik. Are you always like this.
Shamik
(smirk) only when I meet someone who catches me off guard.
Lisha
Hmm... So, I caught you off guard? Should I feel guilty for that.
Shamik
Definitely not. You are not like anyone I have met before.
Lisha
( lisha looks at him softly ) you are not, what I expected. But... I like it.
Both are smiling softly...
As the bus began to slow down, lisha glanced out the window and realized her stop has arrived. She turned back to shamik, her expression soft but hurried.
Lisha
Hmm... My stop is here. It was nice, talking to you. Shamik, I hope we meet again.
Before shamik could respond. Lisha stood up and gave him a quick smile, and stepped of the bus.
Shamik watched her leave, the sound of her words still in his mind as the bus pulled away. Shamik remains the conversation between lisha and smiling... Some mins...
Shamik arrived to university, and staring his boring classes and notes etc. On the other side, lisha entered to her class (usually as late). She also starting his boring classes.
Soon classes have ended their coming home and had their lunch, and shamik getting ready for his work suddenly he takes his phone and calls one person.
