Chapter 21: chapter 21

Megha's ( POV) " As you know a new teacher has joined us. So she will start your linguistics classes from today. Welcome Miss kaveri sharma. " Said Our Mehra sir. A beautiful woman walked into the room. She is wearing a blue sari. " Hello! everyone my name is kriti sharma. Its nice to meet with you all. " She said with a smile in her face. She looks cute to me. " Well I will leave you with your class than. " Said Mr Mehra and left. Kriti mam started her class. And I must say she is a good teacher. I love how she teaches each chapter with care. She makes sure that we understand everything and also makes funny comments while teaching. I think I like her. After the class we were suppose to start our practice but since dean of the college was having some important work , college ended soon. Zoya and sahara left early and since kabir sir is also going back home he offered me a ride. I gathered my things ready to go home and make him practice their. I walked upto the gate , sir is going to pick me up from here. Soon sir brought his car infront of the gate. " Miss late.... Lets go I have to do much work. " said kabir sir. " You're late not me. " I told him and he didn't said anything.I was going to get in the car when I heard a voice.  " Kabir..." I turned and saw kaveri mam standing. Kabir sir quickly came out of his car. Can't believe he is smiling. " Kriti ...what a pleasant surprise. " Said kabir sir and hugged her. How kabir sir knows her ? " We are meeting after so many years. How are you ? " Asked kaveri mam to him. " It is nice to meet with you...." Said kabir sir. " So , what are you doing here ? " asked kabir sir to her. " You're not going to believe...I joined your college. I am going to teach English here. " She said with a beaming smile. " No way ....so kavitri is a teacher now. " he said to her , he has whole nickname for her, great. " Hey ! Don't call me that infront of my student. " She said to kabir sir and turned towards me. Finally someone realised that I am standing right there with them. " I used to write poems that's why kabir calls me that. " She explained like I care about that. " I see..." I said in a whisper. " So where are you going? And most importantly where are you staying? " asked kabir sir to her. " I am not sure kabir. I will just be booked a hotel room, Am staying there than will rent someplace. " said kaveri mam. " oh no you're not staying in a hotel. Lets go in your hotel and grab your things. You will stay in my house. " said kabir sir to her. She obviously rejected the idea at first but kabir sir insisted and than she agreed to go with him. " I have a lot of bags... " she said to kabir sir. " Megha why dont you take a auto and reach home. " said kabir sir. I nodded in reply. Must look for an auto now. As I turned I heard kaveri mam ask " Is she your relative orsomething? ". I dont know why I slowed down a little to hear kabir sir's reaction." Nope, she is just a student who stays in our house rent free. Good student, doesn't have anyone.  Just helping her out. " said Kabir sir. I could feel my heart shattered into pieces.I may not have a family but that doesn't mean that he can tell me anything. I will pay him rent. I could almost feel hot tears threathing to spill any time. So I quickly got inside an auto.  I feel so humilated.... But why?. He isnt wrong, I am no one to him. Just a student he is showing favours.  Atleast kaveri didi and aunty isnt like that. I am glad to have atleast some people who wants me. I don't need such rude people in my life. The auto stopped infront the building. I paid and came in. I should freshen up first and than I will meet with others. 2 hour later I usually eat with kabir sir's family so I don't cook here often. As I walked in the first person I saw was kriti mam. She was sitting in the center of dinning table. Aunty and kaveridi were feeding her. " Here, eat some more.... You look soo thin baccha " said aunty adding extra puri in her plate. No one noticed me. Really.... Even aunty is busy with the guest. Even sam dada is sitting and gossiping with her. " Megha... " called aunty. Finally she has noticed me. I knew she isnt going to change for anyone. " Beta can you bring another chocolate cake slice for kriti. " she said, well never mind. I took the knife and was cutting a portion when I heard " Not that thin megha. Can't even do....thats really less megha.... Cut more.... give me. " said kaveri di. She took the knife from my hand and cut a large portion for kriti. " Thats better.... " she said under her breath. She almost gave the last piece to kriti mam. Than I will not get any? I am not usually that sentimental but I am pretty hurt today. " Curry le... " even kabir sir is serving her. And I am standing here like a fool. I slowly walked out of that house and came back in my room. So, have to make dinner today. I don't have anything specific in my room. But I am sure I can make it work. Kaveri ( POV ) " Finally guests have eaten... Megha come lets eat.... " as I turned I saw her empty chair. She left? When? " Sam, can you be a sweetheart and call megha please. " I told him. He nodded and went out. I saved megha a jambo slice cake, she will be happy. " looks like she is already sleeping " reported samrat. What? Why would she sleep without eating her food? I looked up towards sam, even he is not sure about whats going on? What happened?
