I Fell for my professor

Chapter 5

Nandini couldn't take the false allegations and said being frustrated

Nandini: Sir pleaseee ..its was for one godamm class..after that i took every class of yours seriously..you just can't blame me for that one reason everytime..

And that was it Harshad couldn't take it anymore and there a sound came 'Splash!' which stunned the whole class . Nandini stood numb for a second when her hand reached to her paining cheek and harshad spoke

Harshad: Don't you dare to argue with me! Enough of this drama just give me your sheet ..you are no more allowed to write this exam ..

Saying this harshad took her sheet and went towards his table while nandini sat with a thud on her bench. Her face showed no emotions .She kept sitting there until exam time get over.On hearing the bell she was about move outside when mukti came running to her and hugged her saying

Mukti: Nandu...are you alright haan? That cheapo i won't leave him ...how can he do this!?

Nandini: Its ok muku ..i am alright don't worry..i think i should go for my maths class now..

Nandini replied coldly not letting out her emotions and went out as she didn't want to break in front of anyone even if its mukti.

After moving out she ran to the washroom and locked herself in one of it .She silently cried sitting there hugging her knees. She didn't want to cry but her tears were not stopping.While she was sobbing she heard mukti's voice

Mukti: Nandu are you inside...please tell me are you ok girl..nandu please ....

Nandini on hearing her quickly wiped her tears and stood up and answered calmly

Nandini: I am all okay mukti ..you go you must have class now ..i m also going just give me few minutes..

Mukti: ok i am going ..you take care..
Mukti went to attend her class and decided to talk to her later .
Nandini on other side came out of the washroom and splashed some water on her face so that it don't seem like she cried although her puffy eyes and red nose were a clear indication of the same
She came out and made her way to the staffroom all lost in her thoughts. On reaching she didn't find manik over there so she moved to the AV room and settled there.

After some time Manik came inside and saw Nandini sitting still staring blankly at the wall.She was looking different today.His sight fell on her puffy eyes and red nose and he didn't felt good about it.He approached her and stood in front of her bench and said

Manik: Nandini.. were you crying?

Nandini turned her face sidewards to hold her tears back which were all ready to flow anytime soon.Manik knew that something was wrong with her today. He sighed and sat beside her on the bench and holding her chin with his hand turned her face towards him which gave a clear view of her messed up face .Manik felt a pang of pain in his heart seeing her like this.She was looking so vulnerable and it made him worried for her

Manik: kidoo..whats wrong haan...tell me
Manik spoke gently and hearing him nandini couldn't control her anymore and the tears started flowing down her cheeks making him disheartened.Manik could not think of anything else and took her in his embrace tightly calming her down

Manik: hey..kiddo shh..stop crying see i am here with you..nothing gonna happen to you tell me what's bothering you haan ...i m here tell me ..please
Manik spoke in order to calm her rubbing her back continuously

Nandini: I.. I didn't do anything..i.i don't k..know how it..it came there...i am not a ch..cheater..i am really not..please tr..trust mee..pl..please

Nandini spoke all broken sobbing in his embrace tightly clutching to his shirt.
Manik on hearing her felt like his world collapsed.He had never seen her like this and unknowingly his heart pained as if someone have stabbed him with a wicked knife.He somehow broke the hug to have a look of her cupping her left cheek with his one hand and holding her hand with his other hand

Manik: kiddo i trust you okay..no matter what anyone says i always be there with you..but do you trust me enough to share what happened..haan?

Nandini nodded and told him the whole incident except the slap part with flowing tears that didn't seem to have an end

Manik: okay you stop crying..we will talk to him ..it must be a misunderstanding..

Manik although was angry with harshad for making this innocent girl cry but he thought it might be an instant reaction of what he saw at that moment and will make him understand nandini's point of view.Thinking all this his attention turned towards nandini and seeing her face he extended his hands to wipe her tears and the moment he moved his right hand to her cheek nandini hissed in pain .It was when his sight fell on her red cheek which had little swelling too

Manik: kiddo did..did he h-hit you?

Manik asked with a frown ..his eyes carrying a concern for her.Nandini
just looked down and fresh stream of tears started flowing down her cheek on remembering the incident.Manik understood seeing her and abruptly took her back in his embrace even tighter than before.

How could he? Who gave him the right to hit her? How could he do it without a second thought!?
Manik was occupied with all these thoughts when her sobs brought him back.He wiped her tears and stood up holding her hand and made his way towards the staffroom.Nandini had no energy to ask him where he was taking her or to argue with him for not going so she simply walked along with him .
But the moment when she saw harshad she realised where she was.Before she could say anything Manik barged in and stood in front of harshad

Manik: Mr.Saxena may i know why did you slapped nandini..
Manik spoke calmly but anger was quite visible in his tone

Harshad: oh..so complaining to other teachers about me haan smart move nandini ..playing the victim card ..i am impressed

Harshad spoke looking at nandini who was standing behind manik holding his hand looking down all the time.Manik felt to punch him at that moment and show him his place but fisted his hand to control himself from creating any scene.Harshad the turned his eyes towards manik and said

Harshad: So Mr.Malhotra yes i slapped her as your dear student told it to you right ..but didn't she told you why she deserved that..what she did to get that..

Manik: Really?do you have any proof of what she did ?
Manik spoke controlling himself

Harshad: i got chits from her ..what else do you need to prove her wrong

Manik: wow..what a proof...did u for once bothered to check her handwriting and match with it or did you just checked the cameras haan tell me..just on the basis of those baseless chits that could belong to any student you took your decision

Manik snapped at him for his stupid reasoning

Harshad : oh come on manik just stop this drama and that too for her ..vaise why such concern for her haan ..u can tell me..u know..
Harshad said with a smirk

Manik could not control himself at his choice of words and held him from his collars and was about to punch him when nandini held him back from doing it .On seeing nandini manik calmed him down and left him and spoke

Manik : Be in principal 's office in ten minutes
Saying this manik was about to leave when harshad spoke

Harshad: what if i don't

Manik: then i will make sure you never enter this school again..

Manik warned him and stormed out along with nandini .While Harshad scoffed at him and went out behind him to the principal 's office.
