"I am sorry, I am sorry, I was in a hurry so I didn't notice you." Yes, this was true. She was in a hurry because the program had already started. Because of a hurry, she didn't pay attention to the waiter in front of her and she hit him hard. Which caused all the glasses in a tray to fall on the floor and make a noise. "Crash..."
She was talking to the waiter but his attention was not focused on her talking. He was just staring at her. The way he was looking at her, made her feel a little strange. But when she looked at the hall, all the people in the hall were staring at her without blinking.
Everyone's eyes were on her. She wondered if there was something wrong with her clothes that made everyone look at her like that. But when she saw, there was nothing.
Students from the first year to final year, Teaching and non-teaching staff, Principal and Guests who came for the event. They all were looking at her. All of that made her feel uncomfortable.
'Is everyone looking at me just because I broke this glass?'
She thought to herself. And she was even more frightened by that thought. Her legs were numb and her hands began to sweat.
But she did not know how beautiful she was looking in a light pink sari. And all the people in that hall were looking at her, fascinated by her beauty. She was looking like a holy and immortal fairy in this mortal world. Her beauty could not be described in words. She was looking like a goddess of beauty.
All this was unbearable for her and she wanted to escape from that intolerable gaze. She turned her heel and just was about to put her foot in forwarding, a strong voice filled the hall.
"Where are you going Little Sister?" That voice was none other than Max and that girl was none other than Avery. When all the people heard this, they were filled with disbelief. They did not believe their ears.
Max called her sister in front of everyone and thus ensured her safety. Because he had already seen the lust for Avery in the eyes of the men who present there. And since Avery was Max's sister, so no one would have dared to look down on her.
Max got up from his seat and approached her. He took Avery's little hand in his and led her into the hall. Her very long hair was swaying on her thin waist as she walked.
Where everyone was admiring her beauty, Clara was burning in the fire of jealousy. But there was no expression on Alex's face.
After a while, the principal started talking again.
"My dear students, every year this program was arranged by a senior student to a first-year student. But this year the program is arranged by the teachers. And even after this, it will be done by the teachers. Because we all teachers have decided that fresher's party should not be just for fun. Because when you come to the first class of college, your new journey starts. And if you get guidance from the right person, the path of your dreams becomes easier. You can make the right decision. And for this, we invited prominent persons in our country here for guidance. At the same time, their guidance will be very important for the students of the Fine Year. But also here are two successful people you see every day, Mr Alexander and Mr Max."
The whole hall applauded after hearing the names of Alexander and Max.

After the guest's speech, the event was led by Sports Teacher Miss Lauren.
"Students, as you know, twenty-five days from today, our college had organized a competition in which students from other colleges also participated. And the winning students were honoured after the results of that competition. But there were three categories in the program that not resulted in that day. Because the winning students in that category were from our college. And it was also said that day that the student in our college has won in those three categories. And finally today I am going to disclose the name winning students."
Twenty-five days before, students from all over the country had come for the program which was organized by the university. Because the event certificate at that program would have been very useful for them.
"Now my dear students after honouring the students from the two categories, it was now the turn of the third category. Now the third and final category is article writing. But I would like to tell something to all those present here."
Speaking of all this, the sports teacher was very happy. Her happiness was evident in her eyes.
"I have been working as a sports teacher for 22 years. And I joined this university for five years. I also have been the teacher of Mr Alexander Hill and Mr Max Martin who are present here among us. I didn't get married because I didn't fall in love with anyone except sports." Everyone in the hall laughed when they heard this.
"But there was one person in my life as a friend when I was in college. I think It doesn't matter if the person is male or female. The matter is, that person was younger than me but that person's thoughts were much older than me. That person was very important to me but day by day I was leaving that person behind somewhere. But one of your students made me remember that person and took me back to my old days."
The teacher pauses and takes a deep breath. "I already have a habit of reading articles. Therefore, the students who submitted their articles in the article competition, I read all their articles. And when I read that student's article, that student put me in front of that person through his article. When I read the article I had no idea what the result was. But now the name of that student is in my hands and that is why I told this story to all of you."
Just then a person who came as a guest suddenly asked. "Madam, can you tell me what was in that article that made you tell us all this?" The person asking this question was Mr Lucas Kai, the young master of the Kai family and the CEO of the five largest companies in the country.
"Yes, the subject for an article writing was, 'What is a meaning of Trust?'. And the student who has won this competition has the same thoughts as that person. All the things I was hearing from that person's mouth were put down on paper by the victorious student. I find it really amazing that there are students nowadays who think that way. And I thank that student for making me remember the person who suddenly disappeared from my life. And that student is....
