Her Forgotten Husband 🔥

His Gaze ...

My heart beat quickened .

Maan matched my gaze and looked behind him .
"Mr Cannon" he said looking at him with a smile .

And my eyes widened .

How did they know each other .

He came towards us.
My hand became all sweaty looking at him .
He was looking a hundred times better here, than college.
I thought Maan was looking handsome , but right now he wasn't looking anywhere near him .

Stop comparing your teacher Inaya .

But his aura was intimidating .

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Brown " A lady of the late fifties replied , whom I haven't noticed yet .
"Thank you so much Mrs Cannon" She replied .

Oh !she was Ryan sir's mom.

Now I know the secret behind his charm.

His mom was the epitome of grace and beauty .And Ryan sir look exact replica of his mom.

I thought and looked in his direction only to find his gaze on me .

I lowered my eyes and shifted uncomfortably behind Maan .

Seriously , meeting your teacher who is also your crush at any family event is not good .

Especially for your heart , who is now ticking like a bomb to explode any time .

They talked for a while , introducing my parents in the process and then her eyes landed on me , she smiled looking at me and I nervously smiled back .

"Who is this beautiful girl " she asked looking at me but Maan was more enthusiastic than me .
He pulled me by my arm introducing me to him as his friend and even telling her about me studies and my college .
Mrs Cannon eyes lit up hearing about my college as his son is also working there .

"Really , my Rony also works there " She replied .

If it were some other situation like he wasn't my teacher , or he wasn't my crush then I would burst out laughing .

"Rony" like seriously .

This name definitely doesn't suit his demeanor .

But right now neither I find it funny nor I wanted to laugh , I just wanted to go somewhere else other than standing here under his scrutinizing gaze.

I nodded shyly , looking at my mother and all of a sudden her eyes lit up .

Ohh shit !

She knows about him, she knows that I have a huge crush on him .
"So you are Mr Cannon " she said excitedly .

Fuck my life .

Why am I so close to my mom .

"I've heard a lot about you from my daughter" she said and I nervously pleaded her to not say anything else .

Next time remind me to not tell my mom anything .

He didn't reply to anything , instead his eyes lingered on my face and then travelled to my arm , that Maan was holding .

I removed myself from Maan's grip , who was now giggling like an idiot for some unknown reason.

I really made a big mistake thinking that he looked handsome , he is an idiot .

My hands went sweaty just looking at him for the last time .
I didn't want my mom to say anything that would ruin my image more in front of him so I excused myself and strolled towards food counter.

"What's going on" Maan shouted damaging my eardrums .
"What the hell are you doing?" I yelled back, rubbing my ear.

He hasn't changed a bit since our school days .

"What is going on between you two" he asked again as I indulged myself putting some dessert on my plate .
"Who?" I asked not to give attention to his talk .
"You and Mr Cannon" He replied with a childish giggle .

The fork slipped down my grip and fell down .My cheeks turned red due to embarrassment.

What is he saying?

Was my reaction too obvious.

"No.. nothing" I cleared my throat while straightening my face.

Ok it was true that nothing is going on between us .
But someone can caught your feelings just by seeing your face , that is Dangerous.

"Someone is nervous hearing Mr Cannon's name and looks at your face , all red like tomato . I'm not a colour blind senorita " he replied with a dramatic pose .

"Shut up , I'm nervous because he is my teacher " I replied .
"Even you would be nervous seeing your teacher at family function" I added
to give rest to his stupid thoughts .

I strolled forward trying to get rid of him.

"Okay I agree that you are nervous " he replied following me .

Aagh!

Can't he just go somewhere else?

"But what about Mr Cannon" he whispered coming closer to me and I don't why but his closeness felt intentional .

I raised my brows in confusion.

Of course my face would have reddened after seeing Ryan sir , but there is no way he would be nervous seeing me .

Even that thought seems weird to me .

"You mean he is nervous seeing me here" I replied with a humorous smile .

Now I was relaxed that he didn't know anything , he was just making up things to irritate me .

"Nope , he is giving me death glare, just look behind you" he replied on a serious note and I followed his gaze .

He was right .

Although he was with our parents but his eyes were on us .
And it wasn't a normal gaze , he wasn't even blinking for a moment, his jaw was clenched.

"Don't you think he is getting affected by seeing me closer to you" Maan said and I turned around .

I was so much into his gaze that I forgot Maan was beside me .

"No way " I chuckled slapping his arm and turning around.
"He must be trying to remember my face" I replied lightly .

Yeah !
That would be the reason.

If he could forget about that Crush thing then there is no way he would even remember my face .

"He must be remembering my face"I murmured.

Sad but true !

"His gaze did strange things to her defences"
