chapter 5
"So let's start-" I was about to start my class but got interrupted. My jaw tighten as I turn to the door..my eyes soften when I saw her. My furball standing in the doorway holding her bag and breathing heavily.
"May i come in.. professor?" She said huffing..I bet she got running here as she missed yesterday class she can not miss Today's class .
I nodded firmly going back to my strict personality and telling her to come in. As she step inside I take a look at her.. she's..tiny compear to me.
"Don't be late.. from tomorrow" i warn , and She swallow her . Gosh the way she bite and licks her lips when she's Nervous send shivers down to my spine.
She gives me a nod before turning and taking seat the in the middle row . My gaze lingering on her face more than i should. Putting my thoughts aside i turn my face to the blackboard my back facing the students. I write down a question in the board . And putting the formula in the side.
As I was explaining the problem, my gaze always land on her face..the way she's writing down everything I'm doing and the way she bites the pen .
It's...damn cute.
After the class end , I saw every student's gathering their things and walk out the class leaving her and me alone. She was gathering her things as well but not too fast.
I lean back on my chair watching as she grab her bag and walking out the class. I smirk slightly and started walking behind her. Not that I'm following her but my office is in the same way.
As she was walking, suddenly her phone buzz with a call. I watch her picking up and surprisingly it was her mother. I don't mean to hear but was too curious not to.
"Haa..Maa kha lungi . Aree ajj time nahi hua tha Isliye nahi khaya tha... Ok ok I'm sorry" She replied to her mom . After hearing her reply I clearly figured it out that she hasn't eaten anything.
(Okay Mom, I'll eat, I didn't got any time to eat breakfast na...Okay okay I'm sorry)
And I'm damn she's won't, because my Little furball is stubborn. Without even knowing I reach my office door. Does my office was this close ?
I turn my gaze back to her before stepping inside. Once inside..I can't help but think about her conversation with her mother. First of all she's tiny and she needs to eat. But the question was HOW? She's won't eat and i know it too well by seeing her face when she was talking.
Without a second thought I call the canteen staff and Order to treat all the students there. So Can My Little Furball can eat without arguing ofcourse.
"Treat all the students there" I said with a cold and firm voice.
"Sab ko? " The staff asked as if he's thinking he heard me wrong.
(All of them?)
"Haan, Sab ko. Every single student" i confirm before hanging up the call and started walking towards the canteen. As I reach the canteen door , i didn't step inside instead i look around the canteen looking for my little furball.
(Yes , all of them)
After looking around my eyes finally found her , sitting in the last eating...and beside her..that book .
I sigh. How can she read that book even during eating. But I smile without even knowing to myself. Watching her eat makes me feel goods.
I never thought that a 5'5 girl ...a student...of mine would be making me fall on my knees.
I stood there, hidden from sight, just watching her. Her hair was tied up messily, a few strands falling over her face as she read, completely lost in her own world. She didn't care about the noise, the crowd, or the chaos of the canteen.
Just her... her food... and that damned book.
My Little Furball. The name made me smirk again, involuntarily. I never intended to get attached, never intended to care. Yet here I was-standing outside a canteen, having ordered food for an entire crowd just so she wouldn't have to argue with anyone.
I must be insane.
A group of students laughed nearby, breaking my trance. My eyes stayed locked on her as one of the staff members approached her table with a plate full of snacks and a cold drink.
She looked up, confused.
"I didn't order this," she said, narrowing her eyes at the staff member.
"It's... from someone. All students are getting treated today," the staff replied nervously, looking around as if searching for me.
She looked at the plate again, then at the staff, confused."All students are getting free food today?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
The staff member nodded quickly. "Yes, miss. Some higher-up ordered it. Enjoy."
She hesitated for a second, then shrugged and mumbled, "Well, free food is free food," before digging in, completely dismissing the mystery behind it.
I stood frozen, watching her.
She really had no idea. No suspicion, no curiosity just happily munching away like nothing happened.
I couldn't stop the low chuckle that escaped my lips. Here I was, thinking she might be surprised, maybe even search for who did it but no. My Little Furball was too focused on her plate to care about anything else.
Typical.
I leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching her take bite after bite, occasionally flipping a page of that book, her eyes glued to the text like it held the secrets of the universe.
Unbothered. Unaware. Untouched by the chaos around her.
And I, who could make empires fall was standing here, feeling like an idiot who just fed a hundred people for one girl... who didn't even spare a thought to who did it.
I shook my head, amused.
"You're going to drive me insane," I muttered under my breath, eyes locked on her.
But in that moment, I realized something.
She didn't need to know.
Let her eat. Let her be clueless. Let her stay in her little world because I'd make sure that world remained untouched, unbothered... and safe.
Even if I had to stand behind the scenes forever, just watching her.
I turned away, leaving the canteen silently, her laughter and the sound of pages flipping echoing in my ears.
She didn't know I was there.
She didn't know I treated her.
But someday... she will.
