She sighed and nodded.
"Fine, but dont drool over him"
Priya giggled "Why Kanak, you jealous"
"Course not"
Kanak and Priya walked into Uma's very busy class, infact there were a ton of people stood up, and she made a good guess that the reason for the majority of his audience being female was not to learn about medication
Uma's eyes fell on Kanak immediatley as she walked in, she offered him a smile and went to stand at the back
"Wait"
Kanak scrunched up her face and turned around
Uma had always been taught that his partners comfort was a priority and he couldnt very well have Kanak stood up for the whole talk
He beckoned her forward and pointed to the empty chair he was sat in which was now nearer to the front and next to another student
Kanak walked over and sat down on it, her cheeks red with the attention on her via the other students
"Sir why does she get special treatment"
Uma looked to the girl stood up "shes got a bad leg"
The crowd nodded in some form of fake understanding and Priya laughed and put her thumb up at Kanak while wiggling her brows
Kanak didnt like how every girl sat in a dreamy state watching Uma, every time he spoke they would all 'ooh' and 'aah' and it angered her, although she told herself the reason why was because she wanted people to listen properly rather than because she didnt want others to be attracted to him
Uma's lecture was finally over, all the females running over to sign up to the class
Kanak stood up, she had to sign up to, couldnt have all these other women making Uma feel inferior, she was doing this purely because he was her houseguest
Uma's eyes followed Kanak as she signed her name
"Didnt think this was your kind of thing"
She looked up at him, he was to close for her to focus and she stood back, "you changed my mind"
Uma nodded
Kanak shivered under his gaze, his eyes narrowed in concern
"Are you cold"
His hands were on her arms, rubbing up and down trying to warm her up which instead was making it worse
"Im good now, thanks, bye Uma"
Uma looked bewildered at Kanak who ran out of the room quickly
----------------------
Kanak had a full day of lessons, she was very tired and couldnt wait to get back to bed. Santosh waved at her, Kanak bent and took her blessings
Vansh offered her an ice cream which she took happily
"Hows your day been" she asked
Vansh nodded and explained how he was getting closer to the girl he liked
Kanak looked around, she wondered why Uma was not back yet
Meena looked at Kanak with a knowing look
"Uma is upstairs"
Kanak blushed again
"I wasnt looking for him"
Meena nodded "Then who were you looking for"
"Ved Bhaiya"
"But you know hes on a trip"
Kanak stood up "I forgot"
Kanak sat down on a bed, her feet were killing her, stretching them out she led back and closed her eyes
Uma walked out of the shower and raised his brow, what was Kanak doing on his bed?
Uma walked over to her, leaning over her
"Kanak"
Her eyes shot open and she jolted up and nearly rolled off the bed
Uma grabbed her waist, stopping her from falling
"Sorry I was tired, thought this was my room, ill just"
"No, its okay, just calm down, why are you in such a rush"
Uma picked up her scarf and draped it back over her shoulder
She watched his hand then looked back up at him
"How are you finding the college"
"Yeah its good" Uma nodded
Kanak wasnt sure if it was a good idea to ask, but she had to know
"Why did you give me that chair and no one else"
He smiled "Couldnt have the girl im staying with stand up, you've been a good friend to me, I was just repaying the favour"
Kanak smiled, just a friend. So she had to get rid of this baseless attraction
