A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 19

*Kanika Pov*

"What are you doing?" I froze hearing her words and realized I should buy more paper rolls if this is how it's going to be from now on.

I already wasted like ten papers till now and the scoldings didn't stop at all. Maybe I should keep some more money aside as expenses while learning from this person.

"I will draw again." I mumbled removing the paper and took another new sheet while she just sighed.

It just feels weird to listen to her scolding me and sighing like that with such a voice as it really seems to be like some teenager's voice. Who wants to listen to a teenager's scoldings?

"Can you change your own voice?" I asked while fixing the paper and she laughed at that.

"I am having fun with this voice and also I don't want to leave any kind of evidence that I am teaching someone otherwise I will be in trouble." She replied while I sighed at that.

I didn't question her words as I am sure she wouldn't be explaining anything but I really want her to change the voice so that I can get more adjusted.

"No need for your own voice but some other is also fine." I mumbled looking at the screen but my face will still not be visible to her as I pointed the camera only to the easel.

"Are you changing the subject because of how bad you are doing right now?" She suddenly asked and I immediately shook my head but then mumbled, "No!" realizing she can't see my head shake.

"It's just that it feels weird to hear a teenager scolding me like this." I explained honestly and she paused at that.

"Then you better not let me scold you. The problem is solved and now you start drawing again." She said and I started but she immediately stopped me.

"Why is your technique so different? Didn't you say you learned how to draw?" she asked with a confused tone.

"I learned but it's about landscapes and then practiced the drawing for fashion designing on my own and so it is not that good." I explained and she didn't say anything while I continued to draw and this time I finished everything but she didn't stop me.

"Was it good this time?" I asked glancing at the screen.

"No!" she replied without any hesitation.

"But compared with the way you actually learned the process, this is good. Now, listen to my instructions clearly and then draw slowly." I immediately removed the paper and started adjusting the new one but suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Your parents?" she asked while I stood up to walk towards the door.

"My husband!" I replied automatically and opened the door to find him standing near the door with a hand raised to knock again.

"Yes?" I asked looking at him while praying inside that he is not here to reprimand me and even cut the money because of my behavior today.

I didn't do anything but if his friends got upset then there is nothing I can say to change his mind.

However, he cleared his throat saying, "Prathap didn't mean to ignore you and that's the same case with Shrishti. They both are not used to another person and behaved like that."

"As an apology, Prathap packed some food for you." He added and I glanced down to find him holding a cover with the restaurant's name on it.

"Okay! Thank you!" I mumbled taking it when he forwarded it but we both paused hearing a new voice and we ended up holding the cover together as none of us moved.
