A Mischievous Gutsy Girl.

Chapter 21. Revealing of a Hidden Criminal!

"What if it does not work?" Arika asks with quiver in her voice. She was afraid if she is hoping against an endless dark valley.

"Nothing is going to go wrong! This will work! Otherwise we will find another way to show him his place! Just don't assume yourself alone in this! Okay?" Darsh says softly to Arika wiping her cheeks like a mother who nods at him. He gives her an encouraging smile and automatically she feels better giving a slight smile.

"Arika!" Arika looks back at Nishi. "It's time now. And don't be nervous. We will be outside. If there is anything, we will be there for you. So, no need to be afraid of that चमगादड़। Okay?" Arika smiles at her feeling better and confident that someone finally trusts her.

[ Translation : चमगादड़ - Bat ]

"Good. Now take your positions!" Darsh says and they leave wishing each other luck.

The radio room was empty, so Darsh slips in looking here and there. He dials Jay's number and Arika picks it up and puts it in her blouse's pocket after putting it on silent mode. Darsh switches on all the mics in the school and college and brings Jay's phone near the mic but not before switching off the speakers of Divij's room and anywhere near him. Now whatever Arika will talk to someone, everyone will be able to hear it clearly except for Arika and Divij.

Arika barges in Divij Verma's cabin who is their computer teacher and shouts grabbing Divij's attention, "I'm done with this! That's it! I can't hide the truth anymore!" Everyone exchange confused looks as they recognize Arika's voice.

*Everywhere is pin drop silence.*

Divij leaves his work and asks her, "What are you talking about, Arika?"

"I'm talking about your dirty deeds Mr. Divij Verma! I'm done hiding the fact that you were the one who forced me to take Garima's personal number and give it to you! So that you can harass her just because your bloody hormones are not in your own control!" Arika says loudly with all her pant up anger which even brings tears to her eyelids shocking the entire school, college students and teachers by the new revelation.

Shanaya, Vaani and Garima who were in the Canteen, they look at each other with wide eyes.

"So, you are planning to tell the truth in front of everyone?" Divij asks her entwining his fingers of both hands as he leans back in his seat.

The radio operator who was standing beside Vardhaan Sir in the meeting room to prepare the meeting was going to go in the operator room but Vardhaan Sir signals him not to.

"Yes! And I'm not going to shut my mouth anymore!" Arika shouts angrily with tears in her eyes for real.

"Then go ahead! Tell them what I did! Tell them how I touched you too and. . . .where?"

Darsh clenches his jaw but tries to stay calm to not to ruine the plan.

Everyone was seething in anger hearing his ugly words while the girls who bore his criminal minded deeds, they had tears in their eyes now. Garima covers her mouth as tears roll down her cheeks and she gets up looking at Akriti who nods and Garima follows her silently. Shanaya and Vaani exchange looks with teary eyes and follow them.

Mrs. Asthana fists her hands hearing that all along with Vardhan Sir and Nupur Mam in the meeting room.

"But, sweetheart, tell me one thing, who is going to believe a bully like you?" This makes them all grit their teeth and clench their jaws. "Do you think they will believe you? No! No one is going to believe your single word. You know, why? Because you are just a bully for them and nothing." Divij says with a dangerous tone making the college students and teachers go numb with their rages as the truth reveals finally.
