Fated To Love You

Chapter 17

During Lunch break, Himani reached staffroom and wished Sumedh. He was doing some paperwork and looked up at her for once and then continued doing his paper work.

"Baitho."He gestured to the chair beside him by his neck without removing his eyes from papers.

"It's okay sir, I am fine."Himani replied.

Sumedh stopped working and looked at her. He smiled and kept down his pen,"Tumhe kya lagta hai ? Kis liye bulaya hai maine tumhe yaha ?"His smile vanished and he said in serious tone,"Gappe marnein ka lea nhi bulaya hai maine yaha par. BAITHO CHUP CHAP."

She sat down and started waiting for his next instruction. He completed the work and kept a paper in front of her,"Ye Maths ka paper solve karo sirf 15 mins hai tumhare paas."

Sumedh rested his one elbow on the arm of the chair, put a leg over one leg and started looking at her while placing a finger near his lips while she started solving. He didn't even move his sight for a second from her. His presence wasn't effecting her and her full concentration was on solving questions.

She solved the paper within 10 mins and extended towards him. He took the paper, looked at it for once and then he extended another subject paper towards her and gave another 15 mins. She started solving it again, while he still kept eye on her in the same way.

She solved all papers within an hour. Sumedh checked the time and said,"Go to the class, agar teacher kuch bole to mera naam le lena." She nodded in yes.

"Did you have lunch ?"He asked when she was about to leave. She nodded in no. He looked at his papers and continued,"Then, you can skip the class and have something."

"That's okay sir, I am good. I don't need to have lunch."She answered and left from there.

During second last lecture, a student from another section informed to the teacher who was teaching at that time,"Ma'am... Sumedh sir nein Himani ko staffroom mein bulaya hai."

"Himani."She looked towards the class. Himani stood up instantly while she continued,"Go."

The student left from there. Himani went to the staffroom and peeped inside. She gave a confused look when she noticed that the staffroom was empty. At the same time, Sumedh also stood behind her and peeped in the same way without uttering anything.

She sighed and turned back instantly, and bumped with Sumedh as he was standing very close. She took a step back to look at his face and then slowly her lashes shifted at the lipstick mark on his shirt near the chest which got imprinted when they bumped.

Sumedh also looked at the mark when he noticed that her sight was fixed at his chest, and worriedly said,"Shit ! Ye kya ho gya ? Can't you be careful ?"

"I am sorry, my eyes on the back wasn't properly working."She replied sarcastically.

"Shut up ! Get in."He said and entered inside. She rolled her eyes and entered inside too. Sumedh placed the checked answer sheets on the table,"How much you scored in 12th ?"He asked after sitting on the chair.

"96%"She replied after picking up the answer sheets.

"That means you are studious. Then, why were you silent at the start and didn't answer whenever I asked any question. You silently faced all punishments."He sighed after resting his elbows on the table,"Why ? You were facing any issues ? Are you still facing any kind of issue ?"

She didn't reply and kept looking down silently when he mentioned about previous time. It seemed like his words sent her back to the previous time. He waited for a minute for the answer.

"Let me ask you clearly, Girls hostel mein ragging chal rhi hai ? Seniors pareshan kar rhe hai ?"He asked in concerned tone,"Listen Himani, agar aaisa kuch hai to tum bta sakti ho mujhe.. bina dare..."He was about to say something something else too.

But, Himani interrupted and said in low voice,"No sir, seniors bahut ache hai.. bahut helpful hai. Koi ragging nhi chal rhi hostel mein. And, I am sorry I can't tell you why I was like that at the start. It was.. I mean, it is little personal. But, I promise I will not repeat that kind of behaviour."

He sighed and hummed,"Vo to time hi btayega. Chalo jao."

"Thank you sir."She said and left from there.

In the next lecture, Sumedh went to the class of second year and kept his stuffs on the table. Everyone looked at him and started giggling while muttering something.

"Sir party nhi di aapnein."A boy smiled.

"Party ? Kis khushi mein ? Top kiya hai kya tune ?"Sumedh giggled.

"Are sir, relationship mein aane ki khushi mein."The boy giggled.

"Sir.. aapke shirt par.."A girl answered when Sumedh gave a confused look.

Sumedh looked at his shirt and slapped his forehead as he forgot to wash the mark. He turned around instantly and tried to remove the mark.

"Are sir humse kya sharam."The boys said in teasing tone.

"Awww.. so cute."The girls giggled.

"Chup raho sabhi... aata hu main abhi 2 mins mein."He informed and walked out of the class.

"Yaar, feeling a little jealous, but kya kar sakte hai.. kabhi na kabhi aaisa hona to tha hi."One of the girl said.

"Par hai kon ? College ki hi hogi koi... ya shayad milnein aayi hogi."Another one said.

"Koi bhi hoo... sir bade khush lag rhe the."
