Raj Swashed The Belt Again. Rolling It In His Palm Swiftly.

"Da-d Swear Nahi Pta Muje..-e" Vansh Pleaded Cryingly.

"Vansh Shut It Please. Excuses Will Led You In More Trouble."

"-Start Speaking Before My Belt Does!" Raj Warned Loudly, Washing The Belt Once Again At Vansh. This Swashes Were Flinching Vansh Pretty Badly.

"Dad-d Trust..t Me!" Vansh Said Once That Swash Sound Stopped Echoing In Cabin.

Raj Stopped For A Moment...Trust. That Word Rang In His Ears. He Lowered The Belt From Air, Lossing The Grip SLowly.

He Must Let Vansh Explain First, He Has Did This Mistake A Lot Before. He Couldn't Afford Another.

Raj Slide The Belt Down, Keeping It On The Near By stand.

"Speak Up." Raj Ordered.

"..-W-What??" Vansh Stuttered. Raj Shuts His Eyes. He's Trying To Calm The Anger Inside Him & Vansh's Adding Kerosene Again!

"Math Test. -Mehra Sir Ne Jab Math Test Liya Tha. Tab What Happened?!" Raj Said Calmly Frying Up At The End.

Vansh Flickered His Eye Lashes, Remembering What Happened.

Raj Stopped For A Moment, Sighing. He Walked To Desk Sitting On His Chair. Raj Gestured Him To Speak Up.

Vansh Remembered The Drowning Thoughts. Still Not Remembering What Happened?

"I Don't Know Dad, Kya Hua Hai?" Vansh Still Asked, Raj Hold His Head In Frustration. "Past, When I Was At School. You Math Teacher, Informed Me Something, You Remember A Math Test?"

"Hm" Vansh Nodded Absently.

"He Told Me He Found A Chit near Your Bench?" Raj Continued As He Leaned On The Chair.

Vansh's Eyes Widened As Raj Addressed That.

"Dad, I haven't cheated" Vansh Said Firm On His Voice, Trembling Yet steady.

"That chit wasn't mine. I don't need to cheat-I've worked hard." Vansh Confirmed.

Raj's face darkened further. "Lies. More lies!" He Stood Up From His Chair, Pushing It Back, Before Vansh could say another word, SLAP!

The force of the slap made Vansh's head snap to the side, but he didn't cry out. His cheek stung, but he bit his lip and stayed silent.

Vansh Hadn't Did Anything He Wanted To Protest But-

"You've been given every advantage in life,", Raj continued. "And this is how you repay me? By throwing mud on our reputation?"

"Dad, please listen-" Vansh tried again, but Raj interrupted with another SLAP!

"I said no excuses!" Raj Roared. "You think this is a joke Vansh? Do you know how humiliated I felt when your teacher stopped me and told me about that chit? You've let me down, Vansh."

Vansh's eyes welled with tears, "I'm not lying, Dad. I didn't cheat," he repeated, his voice firmer this time. Raising His Voice Through The Words

Raj, still consumed by anger. He Glared At Vansh A Moment & grabbed Vansh by the Collars. "Then explain why the chit was near your desk!"

"I don't know!" Vansh Raised His Voice back, his voice Even cracking.

"I didn't see it, I didn't touch it. I didn't even know it was there!" Vansh Again Protested

Raj's hand came down again-SLAP!-this time harder, leaving a bright red mark on Vansh's other cheek. Vansh stumbled but caught himself, standing straight.
