Chapter No 19

After the lecture, she went to the computer lab. It was just 12 o'clock. She has still three to four hours to complete the assignment but to her bad luck it was the lab period of computer science students. She has left with no choice but to go to the hostel and use Wania's laptop. She called Umer to tell the same but he ordered her to come to his office and use his computer to do the assignment. So, here she was now sitting in his office and working on the computer while swallowing her tears

"Ujala" tears stung the corner of her eyes as he addressed her softly, "Ok sorry, I promise for the next week I'll wash the dishes"

She remained silent when he came up with the second option

"I'll also do the cleaning for next week" she was annoyed now. He wheeled his chair closer to hers and moved her dupatta behind her ear. Resting his hand at her cheek, he made her look at him

"Don't talk to me" she finally returned in her heavy voice while he couldn't hold back his smile, "I don't talk to schemers and plotters"

"I didn't make all these arrangements to see your mood. Come on, get over it now" she turned to him with a sharp glare jerking his hand away

"All this is a joke to you? I never faced such humiliation from any teacher" his amusing grin grew wider and she quickly added, "Except you"

Umer was hardly suppressing his laughter by pressing both his lips while she continued, "Why did you lie to me? What was that rule no. 5 No student dare lie to me. I hate lies and I hate liars" This was it, a throaty chortle escaped his mouth at her perfect imitation of him

"Hansiye mat (Don't laugh)" she turned her gaze to computer screen, "Let me do my work please"

Before she could type another word, the monitor was being turned off

"What are you doing?" She almost screamed as he pulled her chair close to his

"Umer please I've to …."

"Sshh" her voice stuck in the back of her throat when he placed his index finger on her lips to shush her

"Look here" he pointed towards his desk and her eyes trailed from his hand to the desk and in a mix of shock and surprise she watched him

"So Biwi (wifey) your assignment is ready" taking the clipped file she flipped through the pages and glanced at him with frown who was staring her intently with a glint of glee

"Oh so now Mr. Zaidi is breaking his rule no. 2 I don't grant favors to my students"

"My dear stupid wife" he tugged her to him holding her hands, "That was for students but for my cute wife I can turn the world away" he pinched the bridge of her nose and as he wished, the sight of her flushed face made his day

"O-ok leave me. What if someone walks in" she tried to pull away but his words stilled her every movement to back away

"If you once more tried backing away, I swear I'll pull you in my lap" they were still sitting on the different chairs but their faces merely inch apart, their knees touching

"I worked so hard to get you in my office and I won't let you go without getting my present" before she could form any word, he turned his face so that his right cheek was just a thread away from her lips

"Umer … please …" she gulped but he didn't budge. Feeling trapped, she dropped a quick peck to his cheek

"Ahm" her eyes widened hearing an intruding yet familiar coughing. Swiftly backing off, she righted her dupatta and turned her face to the computer feeling utterly embarrassed
