Ryan's Pov

"How could you do something like this mom ?"I asked her as we drove back to home.

After my confrontation with Inaya, I told  everyone that I had some urgent work at college and we left.

I should have told her parents about everything but before anything I wanted to clear out something with my mom.

"What ?"she replied casually.

"You know very well that I will not accept it "I said getting irritated, my grip on steering tightened.
Why didn't she understand the depth of my profession.

"I liked her and she is suitable for you" she replied casually.
"She is my student mom , how could you just go to her house with your stupid marriage proposal " I replied pressing the breaks as we've reached home.

Okay ! Never ever try to say any of your mom's fetishes stupid , even if they are.

She turned towards me with a furious look on her face.

"Thinking about my own son's life is stupid" her brows furrowed .

"No mom , I didn't mean it" I tried to defend myself.

"You've promised me to marry any girl I will choose for you"she said , her nose flaring due to anger she might be beholding .

"After two weeks Inaya will be having her final exams and she will not be your student anymore , then there won't be any problem right?" she asked but it sounded like threatening and left the car.

Fuck !

I punched my steering hard .

My mom definitely knows how to push my button .

Everything was getting so much complicated around me that , even if I try I couldn't get the strand to detangle
it . At first I was already fighting with myself to forget Inaya but now this whole marriage things messed up everything.

Last night I couldn't sleep for a minute , Inaya's blank eyes were making me restless.

I couldn't deny that I've started growing feelings for her, Every time she is around me my heart starts beating faster and my eyes find her beautiful face and glued to it.

It was making me anxious .I always feel like I'm cheating my profession or like I'm doing something wrong.
And right now I was more worried about my mom's feelings.

After reaching college, I entered my cabin with a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair behind the table .
I hope this day will not be like yesterday. I thought, loosening my tie .

A moment after Ray entered my cabin. As her eyes landed on me , her face contorted in worries.

"Why are you looking like this? " she came forward , sitting in front of me.

Ofcourse on the table.

"Like what" I questioned annoyingly.
"Like a zombie" she replied with a frown.
"I couldn't sleep last night" I replied rubbing my temple .
"Why ?" she leaned forward tightening my tie a bit .

Because of Inaya.

I thought.

Suddenly the door opened and she entered.
Her eyes lingered on us, as Ray was still holding my tie.

"Inaya" I murmured in a low voice, Ray straightened herself, and turned to look at her .
"So...sorry I forgot to knock"she said nervously and turned to leave .
"Wait" I said and she stopped in the tracks .
"What bring you here ?"I asked sternly.

My eyes zoomed on her. She was looking nervous and awkward , eager to leave the room .

"I need to talk to you sir" she said and I nodded , but she didn't utter a word .

"Come with me" I replied.
I led her to follow me to an empty corridor as she might be struggling to open up in front of Ray .

I turned to stand in front of her and she also stopped .

"Speak" I placed my hands inside my pocket .
For some moments she looked here and there and then blinked her eyes tightly.

"Did you talk to your mom? "she asked looking anywhere but me .
"Yeah , but it didn't go well .Give me a few days I'll talk to her then I'll deal with your parents too " I replied and she bobbed her head a little .

We stood there in complete silence for almost two minutes. But it wasn't a comfortable silence it was eating me from inside.

"If there is nothing else then I'll leave"I replied turning on my heels.

"Do you like Ray Ma'am ?"She asked and I  stopped looking at her .

Her eyes were boring into mine.

If in any possible way she could read my mind right now , she would know that she's been rulling my mind , my heart and my everything.

But it would be better for me if she thinks that I like Ray.

"I don't feel it is necessary to answer your every question" I replied and her eyes glistened with emotions .

I could feel the pang in my heart but I didn't want to do anything that will raise her hopes .

"Sorry sir" She replied. I left her alone in the corridor and strolled towards my cabin.

Fuck !

I punched my table.

I was beyond irritated and angry .I  definitely didn't want to end it like this ,leaving her crying because of me .

"Why are you doing this to her and to yourself" Ray's voice came from behind and I turned to look at her.

"What ?"I asked .
"I heard everything , you and Inaya"She said .

I sighed while sitting on my chair .
There is no way I could hide things from Ray for long .

"You know why I did it?" I murmured by rubbing my temple with closed eyes.

I wasn't in the mood for any conversation but Ray wasn't going to leave it .

"Do you like her or not?" She said coming closer to me and my eyes snapped open .

I knew that I couldn't lie to her but I didn't even want to answer this question , answering this question means I was going to accept my feelings for Inaya , which I've been suppressing inside me.

I kept silent.

"You are being harsh on yourself Ryan" She said. Her voice was concerned .

"I wouldn't mind if she had that college girl crush on you and you rejected her, but if you've feelings for her you should not treat her like this" she added .

"She is my student Ray" I was now getting annoyed saying same things to everyone.
"For god sake Ryan, how many times I've to tell you that we aren't eighty years old and in which era are you living ?" her concerned voice from before was now turning into an annoying one .

"And moreover her batch is going to pass out after a month, then ?" She asked but still kept silent.

"I guess you should rethink Ryan before giving any answer to her" she replied and left .

Am I really being harsh on myself , or on her ?

"Yes, my all thoughts are about you" ...
