My Math Teacher

Chapter 5

Hey Guys!

I am back with the new chapter.

LET'S START!!

"Avneet what's going on?" I heard my mom as I quickly picked up my phone as walked to my house.
"The phone slipped mom" I ran to my room as fast as I can as I called Riyaz again.
"What did you say?"
"Mr. Nigam, he is married Avneet"
"No, he isn't no--."
I saw the picture, a picture of him kissing another lady and both of them were in wedding attire, I was talking to one of my friends when he showed me this picture saying that he wanted a suit like that, I recognised him" he said.

"What "
"Maybe he has no intentions with you Avneet, he seemed like a good man, I'm telling this so you won't go further-"
"It did already" I said ask I hung up the call. I cannot believe what's happening now. I've never cried like this in my life before. Why did he lie? Why did he had to confess right before I came to know this? Just why?

l avoided looking at him. He noticed.
"Avneet can you please solve this" he said as he pointed to a sum on the board. I know it but I can't.
"I'm not feeling good" I said. Concern filled his face.
"Oh alright Avneet, you can sit. Do you maybe want to go rest at the doctor's?" He asked as I shook my head. Class ended with a few minutes as I quickly collected my bag and stormed out of the room.

-Siddharth's pov-

Something's wrong. Should I go check up on her?
"Mr. Nigam, you haven't signed today's list" Ms. Siya said as she gave the list.
"It's probably hard to use your pen, let's go inside" she said referring that we were standing in the hallway "It's alright Siya" as I was signing I heard someone "Avneet is crying in the bathroom, should we go check on her?" Jannat, Avneet's classmate asked as she walked with her friends. Crying?

"I don't think so Jann-"
"You should" I interrupted them. I want to go to her so badly, but I cannot give away in college and especially in a women's bathroom.
"Okay Mr. Nigam" Jannat rushed to the bathroom. I hope she's alright. I can't help but get anxious, why is she crying.

After college got over, I waited for her in the car parking so we can go together to the cafe, but she did not turn up. I know she went home by bus. I quickly picked up my phone and called her. She picked up but did not say anything.
"Avneet?" I called but she did not respond.

-Avneet pov-

I couldn't speak, I cannot believe he's a bad man.
"You there Avneet?"
"Yes"
"Thank God, you made home safe?" He asked as I hummed. I did not want to wait anymore, keeping quiet will just hurt me more.
"You are married" I stated
"What?"
"You're already married Mr. Nigam. W-why did you bring me into this mess?" My voice cracked.

"Avneet hey, listen, I need to talk to you" he said
"Are you gonna convince me to let it go?" I asked wiping my tears off.
"No no sweetheart, I wouldn't do that. Come with me Avneet, I'll explain.... please" he said as I gave in.

He took me to the beach nearby, I sat down on the blanket as I stared at the sea. He was dressed casually in his t-shirt and joggers. Very cute but it shouldn't be cute.
"You were crying in the bathroom" he said
"How'd you know?" I asked in surprise "I heard Jannat talk in the hallway, I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for you Avneet"

"Of course you cannot come to the ladies room" I giggled make a bad joke to convince myself.

"Are you okay now?" He asked
"Of course not. Mr. Nigam you deceived me, tell me everything so I don't feel like a fool anymore"
"I got married when I was 28, her name was Ritika. I met her when I was getting my training, she was just a friend at that time, but then I felt like I loved her. I got bored when she wasn't there, I was happy when I was with her so I proposed"

I sighed as I held in my emotions, it's hard not to react when he was narrating his love story.
"She wanted a kid but I didn't, I didn't want to take that step with her"
"You don't like kids?" I asked something that was useless "I love kids but----"
"So you had a kid with her" I said for him
"No"
"Mr. Nigam, I don't want to listen to this, I don't what you're trying to say but you betrayed m-"
"We are divorced"

I kept quiet. Alright, this is not bad, this is good Avneet, you can relax. You did not make the biggest mistake of your life.
"I was going to tell you today, that's why I invited you to the cafe. But before that it got into a mess. I'm so sorry sweetheart, I didn't mean to hurt you"
"Why did you divorce her?"
"We fell out of love or maybe I didn't love her at all, I mistook my feelings, I didn't want a family with her, so we parted for good" he said.

"You still talk to her?"
"Sometimes, she remarried and has a son. So I call to wish for birthdays and special days, but that's nothing to worry about" he said. He's so clear with his feelings unlike me. Although there's nothing to worry I feel like even before we could start our relationship there came a barrier.
"Avneet I know it's hard to take it all at once but trust me, I never intended to hurt you" he said looking at me.
"I know" I replied.

He bent his legs and parted them as he asked me to sit between. I hesitated. This is too close. I slowly got up and placed myself between him. I could feel his warmth, he wrapped his arms around my shoulder as I leaned behind. It was calming and nerve racking at the same time.
"You're nervous" he stated which made me more nervous. "No I'm not"
"I'm nervous too"

"You're nervous?" I asked in surprise as I turned to look at him. He looked gorgeous. I really can't believe he's 35.
"You know I've never dated someone your age at all" he said.
"Same here" I said as he giggled.
"Do you think it'll be difficult?" He asked as I hummed.
"I mean if we compare you have more experience in things than me, you know how to do things better than me" I said

"Am I thinking weird or did you mean the same dirty thing?" He giggled as my heart melts. His giggles are so cute.
"What dirty thing? I meant life in general" I played it off as I smirked.
"Sure sweetheart" he kissed the side of my head. I let out a long breath as I leaned more into him, it really feels nice to be in the arms of someone who gained your trust. Right when I turned to the side I saw someone with a camera toward us from behind the corn dog shop. Am I being paranoid?

YAY!!! They are finally together!

Is someone really taking pictures of them or  it's only Avneet's imagination.
