Tortured

The Dog Training

Abdul: No, you can't.

Shreya: What? (chuckles)

Abdul: You can't leave me here alone.

Shreya: Aww, my cutiepie, I am not leaving you.

Abdul: What do you mean?

Shreya: Do you remember our conversation that we had yesterday in my room?

Abdul: Umm... a bit.

Shreya: You wanted to continue your studies. Right?

Abdul: Yes, Goddess. But we both know that's impossible.

Shreya: Possible! If you're a goddess. (chuckles)

Abdul: Seriously? How?

Shreya: I've arranged a teacher for you.

Abdul: Who's she?

Shreya: She's sitting right in front of you.

Abdul: You've gotta be kidding me! No way!

He has never been this happy in over a decade. He starts kissing her feet and heels unstoppably.

Shreya: Stop! Stop! What are you doing? You're embarrassing me.

Abdul: You just proved my point, Goddess. You proved that you are the only goddess in this cruel world. So, I'm only expressing my gratitude to my goddess.

She takes a couple of steps back.

Shreya: Enough! No goddess, no Malkin, only teacher. Call me Teacher.

Abdul: Ok, Teacher!

Shreya: Good boy.

Abdul: But what about Durga Malkin and your mother, Kalyani Malkin? How did you convince them?

Shreya: Last night, I had a meeting regarding this with both of them.

A night before,

Durga and Kalyani were talking in the room with their blankets on.

Shreya arrives.

Knock! Knock!

Durga: Who's there?

Shreya: Aunty, It's me, Shreya.

Durga opens the door.

Durga: Come in, sweet heart.

Kalyani: What happened, dear?

Shreya: Nothing serious, mama. I just wanted to talk with Durga Aunty.

Durga: Yes. I am listening. What happened?

Shreya: This is about your servant, Abdul.

Durga: What did he do? Is there anything he did wrong with you?

Shreya: No, not at all. Actually, I was thinking about his future. I mean, he's just 12 now.

Durga: So?

Shreya: So he has all the rights to continue his studies. Doesn't he?
