Chapter 18: HUNZA KHAN INTERACTION
Arzam Shah stepped towards the classroom and Hunza Khan also entered the class right behind him. "Oh, so this is our professor," she thought in her heart in a Pathani accent. The class became attentive. Arzam Shah's voice echoed in the classroom.
"First of all, I introduced myself. I'm Syed Arzam Shah, brother of Zain Shah and Shayan Shah. Due to some personal reason, both of them are not present here. That is why I will be arranging your test temporarily, not permanently. If you all are ready, then tell me, we will start the test," Arzam Shah said, looking towards the students in the class.
"Yes sir," everyone answered together. Both girls and boys were looking at that magnificent man who carried himself like a prince.
Arzam Shah once glanced over the whole class, and he also saw that girl who had collided with him a short while ago. He looked at her once and then looked away.
"So class, arrange your papers according to your roll numbers. The paper started and everyone began writing the paper except Hunza Khan, who kept staring at Arzam Shah. Or you could say she still hadn't come out of the spell of that magnificent man. It wasn't that she was just any girl. She was Hunza Khan. She was a princess who is a strict follower of purdah.
"There is something in those eyes," Hunza Shah talked to herself. Then she started to focus her attention on the paper.
Arzam Shah also felt the warmth of someone's gaze on him constantly, but he ignored it. He didn't bother to see who was staring at him with those eyes.
After 2 hours the paper ended. Everyone came forward one by one and submitted their papers. When it was Hunza Khan's turn, she moved forward towards Arzam Shah and was just about to hand him the paper when it fell down due to someone pushing from behind.
"Sorry," Hunza Khan said to Arzam Shah.
"Its okay," Arzam Shah said. Then looking behind he said, "What is the hurry, you all? Are you play class students who are in a hurry for break?"
All the students felt embarrassed at his words.
Hunza Khan was just about to bend down to pick up the paper when Arzam Shah said, "Wait. You cannot bow down at my feet."
Hearing his words, Hunza Khan got even more entangled in his spell. That man with mystical features was bending down at the feet of that woman and picking up that piece of paper. Wallah, what a beautiful sight it was. All the girls started looking at that man.
Some men have an ego problem and sit with the idea that bowing before a woman is against their honor. But some men do not let a woman bow down, even if they themselves have to come to her feet. And such men are very rare. But those who are, wallah, they are amazing.
He bent down at her feet, picked up the paper, collected the rest from everyone and moved towards the outside.
And from here begins another story.
Looking at Arzam Shah's eyes, I remembered a couplet:
"I was annihilated just by looking at their eyes, Ghalib. I don't know how they look at the mirror."
