The students starts making noises. He recalls that the students before 25 years and now are nothing same. Before, they were excited and were fully dedicated but now, the students of now are less excited with such things. Now professor has to do something.
The professor says," I'm going to tell you a story of my students. They were my first batch of students. I loved doing plays in literature class since it helps in interacting and getting familiar with each other in a quick time. The life of university is going to get havoc so you have to grab every little chance of having fun and making friends.
There used to be students of business, only few business students choose literature as a minor. I know the literature may not be good choice for business students but there were 4 students at that time. I am not going to tell you their name since its about their privacy. But I am going to tell their story.
There used to be three friends, 2 male and a female. One of the young man was Apollo, I think he is still Apollo. He meets her Daphne in this class. She used to prefer being along and isolated but since she met her Apollo, she was never a same. Their love story may not be popular but I can assure you that their love story is the most pure and precious even after all these years.
Many people may not remember or know their story but I am going to cherish their painful but beautiful love story till my life. I have been telling these stories to the students every year but I haven't found my Apollo and Daphne after that year."
The teacher asked how they are going to choose the character for the play. One of them suggested by picking a cheats where different characters are written. Everyone accepts the idea and the professor ask the students from front to pick the cards. At last the students are going to podium and announces their character for a play.
Before picking a card Akshara says, "If I am Daphne and you are Apollo in a play while picking the cards, then you are my Apollo out of play too."
She doesn't look in his face and goes to pick a card. She doesn't open it. Leo goes and picks the card. He also chooses not to look the card.
Akshara goes to the podium first. She opens her card, and to her surprises its Daphne. She announces Daphne in podium, everyone claps. She looks over to Leo. He smiles and blinks his eye. Akshara is all red.
From male side another man announces what character he is playing. Then another female announces and then male. After about half students announces their character, Leo decides to announce his character. He goes up to the podium and opens his card. He smiles a bit, Akshara got his message, and she winked her eyes to him. He announced that he is Apollo.
Every girls were getting jealous of Akshara as she got to play Daphne with such dashing man, and males were jealous of Leo as he got to play Apollo with Akshara. But the professor is quite glad, it can be seen in his eyes, he is glad that he got his new Apollo and Daphne.
The professor askes students to get acquainted with each other first. The next day they are going to read the scripts and starts rehearsal. They are going to present drama in upcoming spring festival.
The professor dismissed the class. One by one everyone leaves the class. Akshara tries to leave the class quick but Leo stops her. He asked how she can leave after claiming him as hers.
She looks down and say, "If you walk first then you will say I am following you. So," He looks towards her and says, "What are you going to do with this Apollo now?"
She answers, "Wait few more days."
He asks, "What about your boyfriend or ex-boyfriend?
She replies, "I don't have any." Then she asks, "Do you have any?"
He says, "Okay. Well if I don't have either one, will you be mine?"
