Snowflake Method (Kareena Version)

Chapter 9

It's been three days and Karishma has barely spoken to me.

Her words have been limited to only the necessary conversations, and everytime I try to bring up what happened at dinner she shuts down, sort of like right now.

"Hume iss bare mein baat karni chahiye Krish" I say as she stands in the middle of the living room, arms crossed.

She was trying to get to our bedroom but I blocked her path to see if today we could finally talk this out.

"Humare paas kuch kehne ke liye nhi h" she says trying to push past me, but I don't allow her.

"Yeh unfair h" I say.

She doesn't say anything, her only response is shooting daggers at me with her eyes.

I really did believe she was being unfair. I very well knew that she would get upset that I had been with other students, but that was before I met her. After everything we've been through she must know by now that she wasn't just another fling with a student. If she was, we obviously wouldn't be together right now.

And this is only after finding out about Gunjan, I can only imagine how she'll react when she finds out about the rest.

I decided to tell, only after finding out about Gunjan, I can only imagine how she'll react when she finds out about the rest.

I decided to tell her about them because I definitely don't want a surprise like what happened at dinner ever again, but her attitude is making me want to keep the information to myself.

After a few minutes of her staring me down without a word I sigh and step aside allowing her to walk towards our room. Our room with our bed in it, the bed I haven't slept in, for three days.

The night of the dinner she put a pillow and some sheets on the couch, proceeding to lock our room when she went to sleep. She didn't say anything but she obviously didn't have to. I've been couch camping ever since.

I plop down on the couch with my laptop and decide to try again with Karishma later, hoping she'll be more willing to talk after dinner.

___

After spending time with Aradhya at the rooftop a few days ago Rudra couldn't get the young student off her mind. She saw her everywhere, and in everyone. She thought she might be addicted solely to being in the presence of her student.

Even now, when she is standing in the front of her classroom giving a lecture on Oedipus her eyes drift to the upper right corner of the classroom where a certain brunette is seated.

No matter how hard Rudra tries to concentrate her mind drifts to how Aradhya bites her bottom lip when she's concentrating. Or how she runs her fingers through her hair, and Rudra wonders how it's possible for it to always land perfectly.

"So it's his mom?"

The random voice snaps Rudra out of her trance and forces her to refocus on her lecture.

___

"That's right" I say

A round of "Eww's" and "Gross's" echo through the classroom and no matter how hard hard I try not to, my eyes travel to the upper right hand corner of her classroom to see Karishma with a scrunched up nose, obviously just as disgusted by this as the rest of her peers.

"But he didn't know" I say

"Still gross" A random student chimes in

"I agree"
