Chapter two

Zoya POV

Getting ready after eating breakfast I am about to leave the house. Suddenly I heard a bike sound. It is familiar one, of course it is Deepak's. My cousin brother, but he is my younger brother. 

"Didi...... Key. " He screamed his daily routine. 

His parents car is parked in front of my home. So he came here daily without taking keys, spare key is with us for emergency. 

"Here is. " I opened the door and extended it to him. 

"Don't you have class today? " I asked him. 

"No, are you coming for a movie tomorrow? "

"Tomorrow?? No way. Your friend and my sir Advik scheduled class for tomorrow. Why can't you advice sir? " I asked. 

"Advising and me?? " He laughed. "He is treating me like a kid and you don't know  how foul player he is. " He sighed. "We were schoolmates then why can't you get along with him? "

"I don't know why, but I can't. " I shrugged. 

"Di, where is mango pickle. " He walked inside and searching refrigerator for it. 

"I finished it yesterday. " I crossed my hands and stands there with proud. Hehehe. I am laughing at his pout. 

"Then I am leaving. " He stated. 

"Okay, drope me at the bus stop. " I smiled.

Advik POV

"Mom, I have special tution today. So I can't come to home today. " I said the reason after she calling me countless time. 

"Is the student Zoya? "

"How you got it? " I am wondered. 

"I knew it. Just tell me when are you going to propose her? " She sounds like a college student. 

"Where did you get that idea? I see her as my student. " I sighed. 

"I thought I can get a daughter soon, but you destroyed everything. I prefer love marriages over finding a bride for you by us. " She complained. 

My Mom is really modern. Her thoughts and all are modern. She owns a beauty parlor. 

"I am not planning to get married anytime soon. " I declared. My Dad and Mom are finding ways to get me married after I got a job. Failing countless times, this is their new trick, making me fall in love and do marriage. 

My parents are seriously ill. 

"Advik, I like Zoya. She is better for our family. Just give me a nod, then the next second I will reach her home with proposal. "

"I have some respects, don't make things bad for me, please. " I pleaded. 

"Zoya is coming, I will call you later. " I hanged up the call. 

I can't say anything about Mom. Zoya is really beautiful. Everyone have attraction to her. She is amazing in all aspect with her brown large eyes and cute smile. Even some of my workmates have attraction to her. Most of them only comes here for teaching for looking her. She is lucky because I am her teacher, or else, ! 

But I don't have any feelings for her. When I was in class twelve, she was in seventh class and her cousin brother in fifth class. We never talked before and I considered her as a child before. Years later, me and Deepak became friends and she became my student coincidentally. 

I am living neighborhood street of hers. Due to my work, I am living there as paying guest. I don't know till when, my Mom wants me to settle and get married, Dad is not a joke. He too demand for the same. 

When I am thinking for all these, Zoya came in with a smile and sit in front of me. 

Taking books from her bag, her hair falls on her face. After removing and placing it behind her ears, she smiled at me. 

"We need to make this day effective. " I said and she nodded. 

"Advik, do you know this? " Arun, one of my work mate came to me and showed his phone. He is showing me some history. How will I know these? What is he up to? 

He is looking on Zoya, while she is adjusting her books and taking her pen with the little gap without knowing that someone is impatiently waiting to get a look from her.

"This is history, idiot. " I scolded him. "Just go away and don't disturb us. " I scolded him. His students are waiting there and what is he doing here? 

After making him go away, I teach Zoya remaining portion. Suddenly she bites her lips. Unconsciously I gasped at her act. 

What am I doing. After smacking my forehead mentally I said, "just read it. I will be back. "

After standing up from there, I am looking downwards from the lawn. 

This is all because of Mom, she is making my brain dirty. I never seen Zoya like that and will never. After two days I am leaving this town by completing her syllabus. 

I am a good teacher. I can't think of my student like that for a mere second. After telling all these things and scolding my Mom mentally I walked to her and continued teaching. 

This is the first time we are having a full time class. Since it is lunch time, I can't leave her here alone with my so called colleagues. 

"Didn't you bring lunch? "

"Yeah." She smiled awkwardly. 

"Then have it. " After saying so I take my lunch box and started eating before her. 

Looking at me for sometime, she started eating. 

After putting some pickle on my lunch she said, "try it, this is my Mumma's special. Deepak usually comes home only to snatch it away. " She smiled and I smiled back. 

"Yeah, this is great. Tell you Mom that this is awesome. " It is really taste like heaven. 

While we are having lunch, my other colleagues, Arun, Arham, Hardik came. Arun sit beside me on the bench and the other two sit on Zoya's bench and on the corner.

"After two days, your class will get over, right? " Hardik asked. 

"Yeah, we are speeding up. Her exam is also coming and I have to quit here. " I said but there concentration on her.

"How will I contact you? " Arham asked and this time Zoya raised her long eye lashes and he asked again. 

"Excuse me? " She uttered. If I am right she is noticing them for the second or third time. 

"Why should she contact you? She doesn't know you guys well. " I laughed out. 

"We are like a family. " Arun complained. 

Zoya is looking at me and them without knowing what to answer. 

"My dear family members, please let us eat. We have to almost finished our lecture today. " I said and after glaring me, they left. 

Since Zoya is my student, it is a teacher's duty to protect student. So I am doing my duty pretty well. 

She finished her lunch after they left and we completed our lecture today. 

"Sir, are you going to leave this town? " She asked before leaving. 

"Yeah, family is creating problems about my travel. My office is far from here. "

"Sorry sir, it's because of me you have to suffer. "

"Nothing like that, you are paying me and I am doing my duty. " I replied. 

"When are you gonna leave? "

"Probably this week. " I said. 

After having a little chat, she left. I am shocked while checking my phone, 11missed call from Mom. 

"What is it now? " I asked 

"I forgot to tell you one thing. Zoya is a lucky girl. Because of your luck you got your job. "

"Mom.. " I am annoyed. "Then what about my hardwork. "

"Yeah hardwork played well but one needed luck also. "

"Mom, please don't talk about Zoya again and again and making me dislike her. " I sighed. 

One day my parents came to meet me and at the same time Deepak was there for playing. He reached earlier. Our playground is near to my current stay. So I introduced him and said he is my student's cousin brother.

Then he showed my photos which he took without my knowledge and in between there is Zoya's photo also. 

My mom liked her at that instant. She started saying she is her ideal daughter in law. 

My parents have a love marriage, so they personally prefer love marriages. But me on the other hand don't like to have a marriage at all.
