Double update for those who said that chapters are too short :)

Kabir's POV

"Thank you for giving me the oppurtunity, sir. My wife and my daughter will be so happy today," he said.

"Come at sharp 9 a.m. tomorrow, Tanmay," I told him as Kavya bid him goodbye and he left.

"He is talking as if he is the boss," she mumbled under her breathe but it was loud enough for me to hear.

I chuckled at what she said.

"Bye," she bid me goodbye and was leaving.

"Wait," I called her.

"I was waiting here for you for the past twenty minutes and you are bidding me goodbye?" I asked.

"You were waiting for me?" she seemed surprised.

"Yes."

"I was waiting to drop you at home," I told her the truth and she walked towards me.

"Why were you waiting for me?" she asked looking at me.

"I don't know. I just wanted to drop you home."

"You don't have to. Please leave Kabir," she said and was leaving but I held her wrist.

She turned around and looked at me and pulled her hands away from my grip.

"What is your problem?" I shouted.

"My problem? What is your problem? Why are you after me? What do you want from me?" she shouted back.

"I don't want anything from you," I told her.

"Then why are you after me? I am just your brother's teacher. Will you wait for some other teacher for fifteen to twenty minutes. No, right? Then why are you waiting for me?" she yelled.

"Will you ask some other teacher's phone number? No, right? Then why were you asking for my phone number that day? I am just your brother's teacher," she continued and once again left the place before I could say something.

*****

I went back in my car and hit the steering wheel hardly.

"Bhaiya, are you okay?" Raj asked.

I looked at him and tried to smile but failed miserably.

She is right.

Why do I want to stay close to her?

Before her, I have never done something like this.

Then, what is so special about her?

I came out of my thoughts and started the car.

We were both silent the whole drive as Raj knew I was not in a good mood.

After almost fifteen minutes we reached our house and I dropped Raj and went to the hotel even though he insisted to have lunch with him as I was already late.

*****

I could not focus on my work as her words were roaming in my head.

I asked Mr. Raut to come another day to discuss the opening of the hotel in another state.

She is right.

I will not contact her.

She is right in asking me if I had wait for someone else or if I will ask the number of any other teacher.

I wanted to tell her, that my answer will be 'no.'

No, I will not wait for anybody else.

No, I will not ask the number of any other teacher.

Because, I don't want to spend time with them.

I want to be with Kavya.

Kabir! What are you even thinking?

She is married.

I can't ruin her married life.

I have seen how marriage gets destroyed if someone else comes between two person.

And, I don't want to destroy her marriage.

This is my fault.

Why did I got attracted to her even after knowing she is married?

But, what will I do with my heart who just wants to stay near her?

Kabir! You don't even know her then how can you like her so much?

My brain asks me this question every once in a while but my heart doesn't have an answer to that.

Anyways, I should stay away from her.

*****

Next day Tanmay arrived sharp at 9 a.m. After discussing the salary with him, I introduced him to all the staff and told them about his health condition and asked everybody to take care of him and was going in my cabin when Mr. Raut stopped me.

"Sir, our staff...specially our chefs," he was hesitating to say anything further.

"What?" I asked.

"They are talking about how some girl took you to the vegetable market. Our head chef told them what happened yesterday," he said.

"So, what?" I asked.

"Sir, leafy vegetables like, spinach and coriander are full of mud. Rest of the vegetables are okay," he told me.

"Then ask them to wash it multiple times Mr. Raut."

"They will do it without me telling them as our goal is to please our customers but from next time, can we buy the vegetables from mall, atleast the leafy ones?" he asked.

"We can do that, but I have to buy few things from that grandma. She was very happy when Kavya took us there," I said and his eyes widened.

"Sir, are you okay?" he asked.

"What?"

"I mean... you are never like this," he stammered.

"I am perfectly fine and after few phone calls I will personally go in the kitchen and take a look at all the vegetables," I told him.

"Okay, sir."

*****

"What? I will come there as soon as possible," I cut the phone call and ran outside my cabin and took an elevator

I hope Raj is not hurt much.

As much as I know, today they were going to a museum by bus then how did Raj met with an accident?

I should have not given him permission to go to the museum but he got very excited so I signed the paper.

As the elevator stopped, I ran towards my car and sat in my car and started thr car.

During the whole ride numerous questions were running in my mind but keeping everything aside I prayed that Raj will be fine.

After almost fifteen minutes, I reached his school and as I told the security guard about the incident, he took me towards the principal's office.

He knocked on the door and informed him I was there and principal asked me to enter.

As soon as I entered, I saw Raj sitting on Kavya's lap and had a plaster on his leg.

I ran towards him and took him in my arms.

"Are you okay? Is it paining?" I asked but before he could say anything I looked at the principal, Mr. Chaturvedi.

"Uncle, I took admission of Raj in this school because when I met you few months back in the hotel, you told me you are dad's friends. So I took him out of that school and admitted him here," I said, almost shouted.

"But, what is this? Is this how you take care of your students?" I asked and looked at him and then at Kavya.

"Kabir, it was an accident. It is not anybody's fault," he tried to explain.

"What did the doctor say?" I asked.

"For a month, he should put the plaster and gave some medicines. You can show another doctor if you can," he told me.

"But how did this happen?" I asked as I touched his plaster.

"Kabir, calm down," he tried to cool me down.

"Uncle, you know, I admitted him here because I thought as you and dad were friends, he will be safe here," I told him the truth.

"It is my fault," Kavya said and I looked at her.

"Bhai, it is not madam's fault. We got down from the bus and madam made a queue and we were going towards the museum but my shoe lace got loose so I was tying the lace and a car came and pushed me and I fell into a nearby pit which was filled with water as it suddenly rained yesterday night. After that it started paining so much and I started crying. Madam removed me from the pit and took me to hospital," he told me.

'Have you seen the car's number?' I asked.

'No. But I saw five to six boys and heard loud music coming from the car while the car was going past me,' Raj replied.

'I think they were drinking and driving,' I said.

'Maybe, but we can't do anything as we don't have any information about the car,' Mr. Chaturvedi said and I took a deep breath to calm my anger and looked at Raj.

"It's paining a lot, right?" I asked and he nodded in a yes.

"But it is not madam's fault," he told me, again.

"It is my fault," she said and I looked at her and saw that she was crying.

"I should have taken a good care of everybody. Usually there is one more teacher, but today Aashika took a day off due to some personal reasons," she told and wiped her tears.

I was feeling hurt when I saw tears in her eyes but didn't say anything as I decided to stay away from her.

"Can he come to the school, uncle?" I asked.

"No, he can't go anywhere for a month," Kavya replied.

"Then what about his studies? Half yearly exams will come next month," I said.

"How will he able to score good marks if he misses school for a month?" I asked.

"You can take a note from some of his friends," uncle suggested

"No," we heard Kavya's voice and looked at her.

"I will teach him everything. It is my fault so I will help him. I will teach my subjects to him and take notes from all the teachers and teach those subjects too," she said.

I was too surprised when I hear what she said.

"No, you don't have to waste your time for him. We can manage," I said.

"But I want to help Raj as it happened because of my negligence. I will come to teach him everyday at evening," she said.

"You don't have to waste your time for Raj. I will manage," I insisted.

"That's a good idea, Kavya. Kabir, please let Kavya help Raj," uncle said and I looked at Kavya and nodded in a yes.

"Okay, then, I will leave. I will show him once again to our family doctor," I said as took his bag and was leaving.

"Wait," I heard Kavya's voice and looked at her to see that she was taking something from her bag.

"Give me your hand," she said and I looked at her.

"What?" I asked, surprised.

Without saying anyhing she took my hand and wrote something.

"Save my number. From tomorrow I will come to teach Raj by 6 p.m. I will check the house adress from the records," she said and I nodded in a yes and left the place.
