St. Xaviers School

The next day, Manvi went to school. She was elated to the core. She saw Shruti and stopped her. "Shru ruk..."

She stopped, Manvi came and kept her hand on her shoulder happily. Shruti asked "kya baat hai madam? Aaj toh bahut khilkhila rahi ho"

She smiled shyly "wo professor ne.."

"Bas bas samajh gayi main.. teri smile sab bata rahi hai" Shruti said teasingly.

"chal ab late ho raha hai class ke liye" Manvi said while pulling her.

They entered into the classroom and settled on the benches. After some time Aarav entered inside and smiled seeing Manvi into the classroom.

He began teaching "so boards exams are near we are going to begin the final revision"

Manvi said to Shruti "yaar ye topic mujhe abhi tak samajh nahi aaya how do sperm enters into female's body?"

Shruti smirked and said "Apne professor ko keh na jaise tujhe live demo dete hai iska bhi de"

"yahi toh problem hai dete hi nahi hai" Manvi replied.

"de denge... worry not" Shruti said.

The class ended, Manvi rushed down and smiled "main aapki help karti hun"

She carried the books and followed him to the staff room. She kept them on his desk "lijiye professor aapki books main kah rahi thi break time mein aap mujhe biology ke kuch tips denge?" she asked.

Aarav looked around and other staff were present, he said "Manvi I have some work to do.."

Manvi glared at him and left the place.

After sometime, a person came and said "professor Aarav, principal has called you in office"

Aarav nodded and went to the principal's office.

He entered inside and was surprised to see Manvi there. "yes Sir"

"Professor Aarav, you have promised me earlier ki ye ladki biology mein paas hogi lekin iss baar she has failed in every subject mujhe lagta hai isko ab suspend karna hoga" the principal said.

"No Sir, please aap jante hai ye ek bright aur intelligent student hai just give her another chance" Aarav requested.

"haan Sir I promise I won't let you down" Manvi said.

"all right! Pre boards hai kuch dino mein agar biology mein if you don't score Miss Manvi Singhaniya then final exam aap nahi lengi iss saal" the principal ordered.

Manvi was left with open mouth. She smiled "sir ek request hai biology professor Aarav acha padhate hai if he gets me prepared then I can do it easily"

"of course he will do it so it is your responsibility Aarav" The principal said.

Aarav nodded positively and both of them moved out from there.

Aarav eyed her and asked "pagal ho gayi ho tum? Ye kya tha andar?"

"kya? Aap chahte hai main firse fail ho jau?" she asked.

"nahi.. lekin ab tutorship tumhe main nahi dunga" he replied.

"kyun? She asked.

"because.. tum.." he paused..

"thik hai abhi principal ko kehti hun.. aap chahte hi nahi main pass ho jau" Manvi said and moved towards his office.

He held her wrist and stopped "ruko tum! Bahut ziddi ho.. thik hai school ke baad aa jaana library"

She smiled "I will be there on time" and left the place.

After the school, Manvi called Vineet and said "hello Papa wo pre boards aane wale hai toh main aur Shruti soch rahe they ki kuch der school mein ruk jaye and study karle.. biology ki professor se doubt clear karle"

"haan thik hai" he said and ended the call.

Manvi smiled and moved to the library. Shruti said "main nahi aa rahi hun mujhe Rajeev ke saath jaana hai bye.."

Shruti went away, Manvi smiled.

Aarav came in and sat opposite her, he asked "ek baat batau itne mahine tumhe padhaya tumhe kuch samajh kyun nahi aaya?"

She said "sach kahun ya jhooth?"

"sach.." he said eyeing her.

"aap jab saamne hote they toh pura dhyan aap par laga deti thi, aur jab aap samjhate they toh aap mein kho jaati thi" Manvi replied.

He said "tumhe pata hai tum kabhi kabhi stupidity karti ho?"

"haan pata hai!" Manvi replied.

"dekho Manvi ab please pura dhyan padhai mein lagao mere liye itna toh kar sakti ho na?" he asked.

She nodded affirmatively "Aapke liye kuch bhi"

He smiled and began teaching her. She noted down the points for a while Aarav looked at her and smiled a bit. There was something in her which attracted him towards her.

"professor Done.." Manvi said.

He nodded, she asked "professor I am still unclear about this topic.. how can a male sperm enter into female's body?"

"uss din samjhaya tha na" he said..

"nahi samajh aaya, jaise sabka live demo deke samjhte hai iska bhi dijiye" she said.

He looked at her with wide eyes, she asked "kya hua??"

"iska live demo nahi de sakta hun main, khud samajhna hoga tumhe.. just watch the biology videos about it" he replied.

"kya aap bhi.. kabhi kehte hai sab batata hun kabhi kehte hai.. khud dekhlo..huh" she pouted cutely.

"anyways now you should go home it is 4 pm" Aarav said "Aao chod deta hun"

She nodded, she packed her things and they moved out of the school. He got his bike and she sat beside him. He dozed off, he said "haath rakhlo kandhe par gir jaogi nahi toh"

She did so and smile appeared on her face. He dropped her outside the society and went off. She moved in to home.

She entered inside and threw her bag on the floor and sat on couch.

Ruhana came out from the room and the bag came in her way. She eyed her and said "mannu kya hai yeh? Bag aise fenkte hai? Koi kadar hai tumhe iski?"

Manvi looked at her and said "mumma aapko hua kya hai? School se aati hun mujhe daantna shuru kar deti ho aap"

"itne saalo se laad pyar se samjhati aa rahi hun.. suna tumne? Nahi naa? Toh ab yahi tareeka apnana padega mujhe, ye bag uthake room mein rakho" she said scolding her.

Manvi sighed, she picked up the bag and moved to the room.

"kapde change ho jaane chahiye tumhare" Ruhana shouted.

Manvi changed the clothes and wore casual clothes. She came out and settled on the couch. Turning on the television.

She watched her favourite show. After an hour Ruhana said "Manvi bas bahut hua Tv go to your room"

"Are ruko na mumma abhi show khatam nhi hua" she replied.

Ruhana turned it off and said "pre boards aane wale hai dubara fail hona hai tumhe?" she asked.

Manvi stood up and stamped her foot "mumma.. but"

"no.. go to your room aur mobile bahar" Ruhana said in warning tone.

Manvi sighed and moved into the room.

She sat on bed making face. Today Vineet was stuck at office with urgent work. He came back at night around 10 pm.

Ruhana said "Vineet itni late"

"bataya tha na kaam tha.. tum soh jaati" he said.

"haan khana garam kar diya hai tumhara.." Ruhana replied.

He asked "Manvi kaha hai?"

"sone bheja hai aajse itni late tak tv dekhna band.. exams sarpe hai" Ruhana said strictly.

Vineet looked at her and said "Ruhana bas haan.. itna strictness bhi acha nahi hai"

"agar tumne meri suni hoti toh mujhe nahi karna padta yeh sab" she replied and moved into the room.

He sighed and began eating the food. After the food, he moved to Manvi's room to catch a glimpse of her.

She was awake and just counting the artificial stars which were on the top wall as decoration.

He called her "manvi.."

She looked at him, turned on the lights and stood up "papa.. I am not sleepy please na kuch dekhte hai" she complained and requested.

"lekin tumhari mumma.." he said.

Her face fell and she gets angry "Aap bhi mumma ki tarah behave kar rahe ho.. you don't love me anymore.."

"Aisi baat nahi hai.. acha thik hai chalo" he said.

She smiled and moved out of the room with him. She played a movie and they sat on the couch to watch it at low volume.

Ruhana who was standing at the door saw this and sighed angrily.

She came to them and turned off the television. Vineet and Manvi looked at her open mouthed.

"Ruhana tum soyi nahi? " vineet asked.

"Jab pati aur beti tum jaise ho toh neend kise aayegi? " she said angrily.

"Mumma itni achi movie chal rahi thi. " manvi said.

"Han han exams ki chinta nahi hai, movie ki hai. Pre boards aa rahe hai, unpe dhyan do. " she said.

" i will manage mumma! " Manvi replied.

"Han kaise manage kar rahi ho  dekh rahi hun main. 2 mahine se padhai pe dhyan nahi hai tumhara manvi. Maine socha tha ki tum sab sambhal logi, but nahi, tum toh sab bigadna chahti ho" Ruhana said angrily.

"Bas bhi karo Ruhana. She will score well this time. " vineet spoke.

"Tumhe toh farak nahi padega vineet. Tumne hi sar chadha rakha hai usko. Jo kar rahi hun usme uski bhalai. Hai. Aur tum, jaake so jao." she said to manvi,who moved from there.

Vineet looked at her.. "Ruhana  kyun itna gussa kar rahi ho? Pyar se samjhao "

"Samjha chuki hoon main. Par tum dono sunte hi nahi. Arey bhala chahti hoon uska. Ek bhi galti uski zindagi barbaad kar degi. Aur is baar uski galti ke zimmedar tum hoge. Samajhlo. Tum hi kyun, hum dono zimmedar honge. Galtiyon se bachana chahti hoon usey. Nahi chahti ki usey pachtana pade. " she said and walked to the room while Vineet sighed followed her.

Manvi who heard her was left in thoughts about her doings towards them.

"Am i really wrong? Papa aur mumma dono hi pareshan hai. And they trust me too. " she slept with these thoughts.

To be continued.
