Part 3-
Priya slapped Kanak's arm making her shout out loud, biting her tounge she turned around quickly and dragged Priya away, "What was that about" she asked
"Arre, that new teacher Uma just walked in and I was just going to ask how you handle being in such close proximity to such a handsome guy"
Honestly, she wasnt sure. There was something different about Uma, something special, "I handle it just fine, now come on we're going to be late" she began to walk away with Priya but a husky voice calling out her name made her stop in her steps "You go, ill be there in a bit" Kanak said, Priya just wriggled her eyebrows and walked off
"Yes Uma, all okay" he didnt move, it seemed everytime he saw her, it was as if he was breathing fresh air, she was beautiful and he knew his heart had made its choice, it had picked her. Any excuse to talk to her, be around her. He craved her presence, like without her in his life it would be incomplete, now he had found her, he didnt want to let her go.
Kanak clicked her fingers "Hello, Uma", he snapped out of his daze, "Yes sorry, I just wanted to say I read your book, it was very interesting" Kanak felt overjoyed, finally she had someone to share her love for the countryside with, "I want to move to a countryside one day, it seems so beautiful and serene"
"I think, if you're there, anywhere will be beautiful" Kanak's jaw dropped, unsure of how to reply, she felt Uma shut her mouth, he leaned in, his stubble brushing against her cheek "We have a saying back at home, if you keep your mouth open like that, you will catch flies"
In a dreamlike state she nodded and he brushed past her, she wasnt sure why she was so affected by him, but she was, only knowing him for a short amount of time yet something about him pulled her in, she looked down at her watch, she was 10 minutes late.
------------------
Priya had bothered her throughout the whole lesson, constantly asking her what Uma had said, but she wanted to keep it a secret, it seemed to personal, to intimate to just share with anybody
She was glad to be home, she could sit in bed and rest and not have to worry about Uma or Priya or running late to college lessons. She heaved a sigh of relief and closed her eyes, massaging her head she groaned, she always got headaches, she told herself she would go to her room soon.
A warm hand began putting pressure on her scalp, she moaned at how good it felt, like the pain in her head was non-existant now. Kanak opened one eye to see Uma looking down at her, her cheeks flushed red at her reaction to his massage.
"Do you get headaches often Kanak"
She nodded, "You're really red, are you okay"
Kanak blushed even more, he always seemed to look right through her in a very unsettling away, was he not embarassed at her reaction?
"I- I I'm fine, uh thanks uh have some tea, speak later"
"I dont drink tea" he shouted as she ran up the stairs
Her hand on her chest, she doubled over, out of breath "Have some control Kanak, wheres your decency or did that fly out the window when Mr Aryuvedic doctor walked on in " she said to herself
Uma stood at the bottom of the stairs, smirking, so she felt it to, she was affected by him, she was the one, he knew it, and she would come home with him
