Mistress novel Chapter 10

Meher's p.o.v

I went to meet that gynaecologist whom Sehreyar Sir suggested. The doctor told me that I will be fine.

It was just some minor soreness in my vagina because of rough sex. She just gave me some medicines to take and suggested to skip having sex for 2/3 more days. In this period my vagina will be completely fine. I am glad that it's nothing serious.

Recently, I am not understanding  Sir's behaviour at all. He is behaving gently with me and sometimes caring for me. He is behaving like a loving husband which he isn't.

I don't know why I am liking his gentle behaviour. I know he is a grumpy and rude man but I don't know why I feel very happy whenever he behaves gently with me, talks nicely and cares for me.

What's wrong with me! Why I am feeling like that. I should hate him but still, I am feeling something for him. What's this feeling? Is it just because I needed someone's comfort and he was giving me that by behaving gently with me. Am I falling for him!

No...Never! I can't love this man. I can't love a person who has humiliated me that much. I can't love a person who has taken advantage of my helpless situation. I am just waiting for that day when Asif will be fine and Adeel bhaiya will be proven innocent. After that, I will be freed from all those humiliating situations.

I didn't think anything further and entered the class. I sat beside Simran and she smiled at me. I smiled back.

Today I am feeling a little bit relaxed because I haven't worn my niqab. Last night I asked Sir's permission to skip niqab and he permitted me to do that. I was a little bit shocked that he agreed so easily. Sometimes I don't understand his behaviour at all.

I am now talking with Simran when she said lowering her voice," Meher, do you know Aryan was suspended from college? "

I just stared at her and said nothing because I know why he was suspended. It's the great Sehreyar Al Seikh's deeds. I am sure he is behind Aryan's suspension because Aryan had touched my face. Heck! This man! He is too much!!

We are busy with our silly talking when our new course teacher entered into the classroom having a smile on his face. I have to admit that our teacher is very handsome and his age would be 30 or 32 something. Not more than that.

Seeing him we all greeted him but looked at him with astonishing eyes. Because he was carrying a baby in a baby carrier which is attached to his chest. The baby is cute and sleeping peacefully. It might be his baby.

The baby is so cute like a little bunny and I was feeling like to touch it. I always liked little children.

Our new course teacher introduced him as ' Asish Mehta' and also told that the baby is his daughter. His wife died while giving birth to the baby. I felt very sad for him and also for the baby.

Our new teacher started taking our class when suddenly, his eyes met with me and he looked at me with a shocking expression on his face. He stopped his teaching for a few seconds. Very soon he composed himself and resumed his lecture.

I didn't get it why he looked at me like that. Am I looking like an alien? I checked my dress up and everything was fine. Then why he reacted like that. I didn't understand.

After the class, I came out of the class with my friends and ready to go into the cafeteria to have some snacks.

Suddenly, a pion of our college came and informed me that Asish sir is calling me. I became surprised by hearing the pion. I didn't understand why our new teacher wants to meet me on his first day in college.

Without thinking anything further I am now following the pion to meet our new course teacher.

I knocked on the door and heard his deep voice," Come in."

I entered nervously when he gave me a genuine smile and I felt a little bit relaxed.

I found him feeding the baby from a feeder and the baby is busy drinking milk.

He gestured me to sit on the chair in front of him and I obliged like an obedient kid.

" Meher Afroz Khan...right? He asked me and I just nodded my head in positive. Of course, he knows my name. He has every student record.

I asked him," yes, Sir. you wanted to meet me. What's the matter?"

He smiled and said," Well, I just wanted to tell you if you got into any kind of problems in my course then you can ask for help from me without any hesitation. I will always help me."

I was taken aback by hearing him. Why is he so much interested to help me? Is he a good person or a bad person? What's his intention?

I am looking at him with my open mouth and dumbfounded expression when he said laughing," Thinking why I personally said you all this, right?"

" How did he know? Is he a mind reader? I thought in my mind but didn't utter any words.

Then, he said," You remind me of someone whom I adore so much. That's why I adore you so much and wanted to help. Don't think that I will take advantage of you."

I wanted to ask whom I remind. But, didn't ask any questions thinking that he might felt awkward.

I don't know why I found my Adeel bhai in this new teacher. He is talking with me so affectionately like an elder brother does to his sister.

I said smiling," Thank you for your generosity, Sir. I hope I will do best in your course."

" Not just in my course. You have to do best in every other course," He said smiling.

I stood up and said genuinely," I will not disappoint you."

Sehreyar's p.o.v

I came back to my house and found that Dadi( grandma), Abbas uncle and Sajal are already seated on the living room couch.

I walked towards Dadi and greeted her by kissing her right hand's knuckles. Seeing me she became very happy and hugged me very tightly.

She asked me sincerely," How are you, Sahu beta( dear)?"

Well, she calls me Sahu from my childhood. I don't like this name but never say anything to her. Because I don't want to hurt her feelings.

" Fine. How are you? Why did you bother? You should have called me to meet you," I said sitting beside her.

She took my hands in her hands and said smiling," From today I will live with you in this house until you get married to Sajal."

" What? Married? I mean what are you talking about? I asked her and looked at Sajal and her father. They are looking at me smiling.

Dadi replied pulling my cheek," I have fixed your marriage after two months. I want you to marry Sajal before I die."

" Argghh....Try to understand. I know I have to marry Sajal because it was Ammi's promise to Abbas uncle...but....." I couldn't complete my sentence when Dadi said," You are going to marry Sajal after two months and it's my final decision. Understood."

I know I can't say anything in front of her because she is the one who has raised me and Haniya when our parents died in a car accident when I was just 12 years old.

After that incident, Abbas uncle looked after my father's business until I became an adult. That's why I am indebted to him. This is another reason for me to marry Sajal.

I become frustrated over this marriage thing. I am getting angry but I can't say anything. My mouth is zipped because of my Ammi's promise and I am indebted to Abbas uncle.
