I think I Am bit late than usual. Sorry..😶
This chapter is a bomb💣 😉
---------------------------------
The class was going on smoothly. Shivaay was reading the lesson and making them understand most simply. Suddenly, a frown formed on Annika's forehead. She gazed all over the floor. She is searching for something, shivaay understood who noticed her moves
S: what happened? What are you searching for?
A: my ring
R: I had seen it on your hand before a while.
Ragini interrupted
S: it might have fallen somewhere here
SO: can we search it in the classroom now?
S: ok. Fast..
Annika, soumya & ragini searched in the entire classroom. But they could find nothing
A: I wanna check everyone's bag
Annika said crossing her arms.
All students have allowed it without a second thought. None of them neither nervous nor scared. The 3 girls started to check each bags. After watching the facial expressions of all the students, shivaay thought, none of them has stolen it. But unfortunately, annika found her ring in a bag. It was Gauri's bag....
A: shame on you. What else can expect from a middle-class people like you. You could have asked me if you want cash. What was the need to steal my diamond ring?
Annika does humiliate Gauri
G: I don't know how it came in my bag. I didn't do anything. You are misunderstanding
Tears brimmed in her eyes as all students were looking at her with doubtful eyes
A: ooh.. Don't try to act innocent. It won't work for me. I have seen a lot of people like you. Such a gold digger
G: mind your language. You will regret when get to know my innocence
She gritted her teeth while teardrops falling from her eyes ruining her perfectly applied khol
A: now what is left to know. I got this ring from your bag only. Still, you don't accept your mistake. What proof you want more.
G: today or tomorrow truth will be out. Then you will regret all your words. And if you are yourself is behind this drama. I won't spare you. Keep it in your mind. You played with my dignity.
She pointed finger at annika and stormed out
A: what the hell. She stole my ring and she warning me...
She shrugged her shoulders
Shivaay followed guari. As usual, he couldn't bear her tears. Her heart had started to bleed when saw her crying. He doesn't know whether she has stolen it or not. But somewhere in corner of his heart, he believed she didn't do anything. Her tears were the reason of that belief. She might have bent her head in shame if she is the one who stole the ring. But she didn't do any sort of that instead she cried. Some kind of hurt was visible in her eyes. He hadn't found any affectation in those tears. That made him step towards her back-facing figure. He could hear the sniffing sound. Yes, she is still crying. She would not cry alone. If those tears were fake that she shed from the class. Something is wrong
S: gauri..
Gauri turned wiping her tears
G: haa... Sir
She stirred her lips in order to smile
S: hadn't you taken her ring?
G: no
Her voiced choked
Harshita, one of gauri's friends. She studies in the same class with gauri. She stepped near shivaay&gauri and tried to say something fidgeting with her fingers
H: hmm.. Sir gauri didn't do anything. I know. As far I know gauri can't even think to do like this. This is their plan. I have seen raging keeping that ring in gauri's bag.
Shivaay was shocked. How could they step too low? He wondered. Isn't it too much?
H: sorry gauri I couldn't stay with you when annika insulted. I am really sorry... You know na she won't hesitate to go any extend
G: it's ok harshita. I can understand.
She ensures harshita holding her shoulder
S: were you afraid of her?
Shivaay interrupted being astonished
G: who is not afraid of her? Even I am also. I would have done the same if I was in harshita's place. But I can't hold my emotions when the question is about my dignity
S: she is not an animal to being afraid. Come with me. It should not leave like this.
Gauri didn't hesitate to follow shivaay. But harshita didn't move. Gauri and shivaay turned back. Gauri walks towards her
G: come please.. Only you can prove my innocence. She won't eat us row..
Harshita walked with them hesitantly. She was ready to face annika, only for gauri
Three of them entered the class. Bell has rag by then. All students were going out of the class. Shivaay blocked annika, soumya & ragini
A: move man
S: you can do whatever you want. But we can't. What a logic.
A: what's your problem now
(She continues eyeing gauri)
Ooh... You might come to argue for this thief
S: no. Argue for an innocent who didn't do anything wrong rather got trapped in your master plan
A: what you mean?
She asked with a frown
S: what did you think we wouldn't get to know about your game. Assign your friend to put that ring in her bag and put all the blame on gauri... Harshita has seen ragini puts your ring in gauri's bag
Annika looked at ragini with a frown
S: actually I want to know something. What you gained after humiliating gauri in front of all the students.
A: why are you always interfering in our problems. Can you shut the hell up
She shouts
S: all teachers will respond like this only when something like this happens in front of them. Perhaps you hadn't seen it. Because only they care about their job. Do tell your dad to resign me. I don't care... But I won't tolerate this kind of stupidity anymore...
A: so what... Do whatever you want.
But you can't change me. I am not afraid of you also
S: I wonder how a person can be this much worse. You reflect what you learned from your family. No use in blaming you when your father brought up you like this only
All the while he had kept his voice down. Never shouted. Because he respects women. He turned with a sigh
A tight slap landed on his cheek like a thud. Her fingers printed on his cheek. He turned with a jolt to face her. their eyes were reddish due to anger with a layer of water. Others who witnessed this scene was about to faint almost.
A: YOU DID WRONG.. YOU DID WRONG
She stabbed on the bench yelling at top of her voice. The tile on the floor got broken due to the strength of her stab. She was storming out. Suddenly, her wrist got locked in a tight hold
S: this is beyond limits Miss Annika. I will never forget it
Still he maintained his voice down while gritting his teeth
Shivaay stormed out of the class and rushed straight towards the principal's room.
S: I want miss.Annika harsh vardan trivedi's address
P: what happened? Has she done anything wrong?
The anger in shivaay's eyes made him ask the question
S: really... You asking like she is the most good student in this college
The principal bent his head at shivaay's mock
'Sir please.. Give me the address'
P: What you are gonna do?
S: gonna complain her
P: she is daughter of the owner of this college. Don't you know? Even you would lose your job
S: so what, let it be. I am not afraid of anyone. If she is a student here, she should behave like a student only. This is not a place to show her ego... Give me the address I want to meet her father right now
He raised his voice a little more
P: her dad may be in his office now.
S: where is his office?
The principal gave the address to shivaay
****************
Annika was almost shivering in anger. Her bloodshot eyes moved towards ragini who gulped hard imaging what is gonna happen next
A: why you kept my ring in her bag. WHY?
R: I...just.. did for.. fun
She stammered in fear
A: what fun haa? Is it fun for you? Did you see how your fun game turned Into a serious problem?
She shouts
R: Why are you shouting at me. We have done like this many times. But what happened now. Even we have done worst more than this
A: now the situation is not like before. You have to bend your head in front of that shivaay when being caught red-handed. He is not afraid of us like others. He won't stay calm. He will react. He doesn't care about his job.
(She continued in a calm tone stepping forward)
He should be expelled from this college as soon as possible. I won't spare him now. He has crossed the limit. The real game is gonna start from now onwards
A smirk appeared on her lips
**************
Shivaay rushed inside harsh's cabin without paying any attention to security guards who were trying to stop him. Harsh stoop up from his chair while frowning.
H: shivaay
Harsh gestured to security guards to let him in
S: actually I wanna know something. What's problem with your daughter? Why is she behaving so bad?
It was not a shout at all still his anger was audible
H: what... What she did
S: she doesn't know how to respect teachers. She doesn't know how to behave politely. She doesn't know any kind of good manners. Only she does know is, showing her ego. She won't obey a single word of the teachers. Isn't she a student there? Aren't the rules mandatory to her if she is your daughter? Haven't you taught her to respect elders? Can you imagine, today she raised her hands on me. Ok.. Leave all these. Do you know.. What she did today. She kept her ring in one of the student's bag and acted like missing it. She humiliated that girl in front of all other students. She has hurt that girl. How human can step too low. I had tried my best to be calm whenever sees her doing anything wrong. I advised her..but no use. Today she has crossed the limits. You can resign me if you want. I am just telling you all these for her better future. You may lose her one day if she does continue to behave like this. She won't even hesitate to kill a person...
He shouted out of anger
harsh fell back on his seat with a thud. Tears began to flow like a river from his eyes. That's it, shivaay's heart melted like ice. His anger vanished like steam. He rushed towards him to hold his shoulder with concern
S: sir...
H: I am sorry son. I don't know why she does like this. I badly fail to understand her. I don't know what she is. Do you know, she never raised her voice in front of me. Even once. I can't believe what others say about her. She never left a chance for me to believe them. She is the best daughter in this world, she loves me unconditionally. She won't eat until I eat. She can't stay away from me even for a single day. She won't sleep until I sleep. She pats my head till I fell asleep. She would scold me like a mother when I forget to have my medicine. She is perfect as a daughter. I don't know why she behaves like this. Maybe... She grew up in absence of a mother.
His voice had been choking badly
S: her mother?
H: hmm... I am..not married
He said with little hesitate
Harsh's tears didn't stop. He couldn't control them. Shivaay's words have been running in his mind. He doesn't know what to do now. He was helpless. He cried miserably
Shivaay was shocked after seeing it. Did his words hurt this father too much?...
S: sir.. Please don't cry. Everything will be fine. We will solve it
harsh looks straight into shivaay's eyes
H: how?
S: hmm... Can you stay with me? If you can, we can solve it together
H: of course I will be with you. I want my good daughter back
S: ok... you will get .it's my promise
He completed with a smile and stood straight
-------------------------------
Ok.. Let me shake my head. What just happened 🙄
Actually, what is annika?
Will annika be able to expel shivaay from college when harsh is with shivaay?
What is running in annika's mind?
