Blind Faith

Chapter 17

"May I come in sir?" Sanyukta asked knocking the door. 

"Come in." Principle said thus Sanyukta entered next. She saw Vardhan there too.

"Sir aapne mujhe bulaya?" She asked nervously.

"Haan Sanyukta ek important baat hain." Principle said.

"Ji sir." Sanyukta said slowly.

"Tumhe pata hain laboratory mein jo blast tumne kiya tha usse college ka kitna lose huya?" Principle asked firmly.

"Sir maine wo blast nehi kiya, please believe me!" Sanyukta said impatiently.

"Baar baar ek hi jhoot bolne se wo saach nehi ho jata Sanyukta. Saach toh yeh hain ke tumhari laparwahi ki wajase laboratory mein wo blast huya. Aur tumhe pata hain uss wajase kitna lose huya hain!" Vardhan almost screamed.

"Sir maine blast nehi kiya, please believe me." Sanyukta said being stranded.

"Look Sanyukta hum jante hain ke blast tumne hi kiya tha. Haan jaan bujh kar nehi galti se but you can't deny it now." Principle said thus Sanyukta lowered her lashes.

"But the problem is college committee can't want you in the college. They want to restricted you from the college." Principle said thus Sanyukta's eyes became widened in horror.

"Sir mujhe pehele hi one month ki suspension mill chuka hain toh phir aab committee mujhe kyu nikalna chahata hain?" She asked being scared.

"Sanyukta committee thought that you are the threat for this college. Aagar phirse blast kiya toh! Iss baar toh police case nehi huya but I can't assure them for next time na." Principle explained.

"No sir please don't do this to me. I assure you it won't be happen. Aur phir aaisa toh nehi hain na sir ke laboratory mein blast peheli baar huya hain! Pehele vi huya hoga na aaisa!" Sanyukta pleaded.

"No Sanyukta Agarwal aaisa pehele kabhi nehi huya! Iss college ki 100 saal ki history dekh lo, aaisa galti pehele kisi vi student ne nehi kiya. You are the first who did such mess, wo vi mere class mein! Aagar mere pass authority hoti toh phir main usi waqt tumhe college se nikal deta." Vardhan said furiously thus tears came out from Sanyukta's eyes.

"Sir please don't do this. Mera pura saal badbaad ho jayega." Sanyukta pleaded with teary eyes.

"Dekho Sanyukta main aapne kisi vi student ka saal badbaad karna nehi chahata. Okay tum college mein rahe sakti ho." Principle said thus Sanyukta smiled. "But as non-scholarship student. Main tumhara scholarship cancel karta hu Sanyukta." Principle said thus Sanyukta became shocked again.

"No sir please, aagar aap mera scholarship cancel kar denge toh phir main aapna study kaise continue karungi? Yeh college bahut expensive hain I can't afford the fees sir." Sanyukta said helplessly.

"In that case you have to compensate Sanyukta." Principle said thus Sanyukta looked at him confusingly.

"Compensate, matlab?" She asked confusingly.

"Matlab blast ke wajase laboratory mein jitna vi nuksan huya hain tum wo compensate kar do main committee ko mana lunga." Principle said thus Sanyukta felt helpless.

"But sir how can I?" Sanyukta said helplessly.

"Sanyukta stop act like a victim. Pehele galti karti ho aur phir masum banti ho? Hum yeha par tumhari life ki problem solve karne ke liye nehi baithe hain! Aur phir tumhe chinta karne ki keya jarurat hain, Professor Agarwal hain na wo compensate karenge. Kitni sharam ki baat hain aapne pita ki strength banne ki wajaye unn pe bojh bann rahi ho tum! Galti tum karo aur bhugat unhen padega. Shame on you." Vardhan said sternly thus Sanyukta lowered her lashes.
