Vineet was beating him up badly, Aarav's head was bleeding. The blood was oozing out from his right side of his lips.

Vineet picked him up and held him by collar "kyun haan? Kyun? Sharam nhi aayi tumhe meri beti ke saath itni neech harkat karte hue! Uski masumiyat ka fayda uthaya tumne" he again slapped him hard on his face.

"Meri baat suniye maine kuch.." Aarav tried to explained but Vineet's anger was at its highest peak.

"Shut up! Biology ke bahane tumne meri beti ke sath na jaane kya kya kiya hoga. Tumhe chodunga nhi main" he shouted at him and again beats him.

He winced in pain "aah.. Meri baat toh suniye please" he tried to request but Vineet was not ready to hear a word from his mouth.

"Tumhe kya laga tha? Tum kuch bhi karte rahoge aur kisiko pata nhi chalega haan?" he shouted madly at him.

He hits him on his stomach with his leg, A painful sigh escaped his mouth "aah.."

Manvi came running and stops Vineet "papa nhi." she had tears in her eyes.

"Manvi peeche raho tum! How dare he" he shouted and pushed her a side.

He picked up Aarav and looked at him with fiery eyes. He slapped him again "itne mahino se tum na jaane biology ka sahara leke kya kya kar rahe ho"

"Nahi.. main usse pyar karta hun koi galat.." but he was stopped by another tight slap on his face by Vineet.

"Tumhari himmat kaise hui ye sab karne ki? Haan? Uski umar dekhi hai tumne? Apni gandi niyat ko pyar ka naam mat do tum" his voice was really high.

Vineet again raised his hand to punch him but Manvi's voice stopped him "papa please nhi unhone kuch nhi kiya hai.. Unki galti nhi hai"

"Galti iski hai" he said and slapped him again.

The principal came and stopped him "Mr. Vineet please.. Bas kijiye aur tamasha mat kijiye aap"

Vineet looked towards principal and shouted "tamasha toh aapke ye professor ne kiya hai meri beti ke saath zabardasti karke.. I am calling police"

Manvi came to him and said "nahi papa please.. Unhone koi zabardasti nhi ki hai mere saath jo hua meri marzi se hua"

Vineet was stunned hearing this, Ruhana came to her and slapped her face. Manvi looked with teary eyes.

"Kya bakwaas kar rahi hai tu? Janti bhi hai kya bol rahi hai" Ruhana shouted.

Manvi closed her eyes.. "I love him mumma"

Ruhana gave another tight slap on her face "band kar apni bakwas. Samajhti hai nahi kuch, bole ja rahi hai. "she shouted.

"Mr. Vineet aapko nhi lagta aapko ek baar apni beti se puch lena chahiye tha sach! Pura school baat kar raha hai inn dono ke baare mein aapki beti bhi kam kasur war nahi hai" The principal said.

Manvi stood with head down.

Tina came to add the oil in the fire "haan uncle, aksar ye professor ke peeche bhaagti rehti hai aur hamare classmates jab bhi in dono ko saath dekhte hai toh aisa lagta hai jaise ye dono ek dusre ko chahte ho.. Professor zabardasti nhi kar sakte hai"

Principal questioned Aarav.. "Mr. Aarav Malhotra I need answers from you.. Ye sab kya hai?"

Aarav looked at him silently, he said "Sir.. it is my fault main usse pyar karne laga tha I am sorry but maine kabhi."

"Kya aap jante hai aapki iss harkat ki wajah se hamare school ko kitni badnami uthani pad sakti hai... I am sorry but you are resticated from this school itna hi nahi aap iss shahar ke kisibhi school mein nhi pada sakenge ab" The principal said strictly.

Aarav closes his eyes and tear escaped down his eyes. As his profession was his life. Manvi was shocked hearing this. She requested principal "no Sir.. please he is not at fault.. Main hi unke piche padi rehti thi.. Unko maine hi majbur kiya tha.. No aap unko itni badi saza nhi dijiye"

"Saza toh aapko bhi milegi Miss Manvi, you are not going to sit for board exams this year taaki baaki sab bhi ye sikh le jo school ke rules and student teacher ke rishte ko galat le jayega uske saath yahi hoga aap ab iss school se resticate ki jaati hai" the principal said and left from there.

Tina smiled broadly and thought "wao.. It is amazing yes I am going to top now"

Shruti looked towards Tina and understood everything. Everyone left from there.

Shruti came to Tina and slapped her.. "How could you? Ye sab tumne hi kiya hai na"

Tina smiled "haan maine kiya hai.. Prove kaise karogi?" she asked.

"Disgusting Tina.. tumhe itni jealosy thi Manvi se ki tumne sirf uska hi nhi professor ko bhi resticate karwa diya, you ruined their career" Shruti shouted at her.

"I don't care ab toh boards mein top main karungi.." Tina smiled and left from there.

Vineet was silent, he moved out of the school and sat inside the car.

Ruhana glanced at Manvi, Manvi looked at her "mumma.. Mai"

Ruhana said in anger "bas.. Kuch nhi sunna hai mujhe chup chap ghar chal" she held her hand and pulled her from there.

Manvi turned back and looked at Aarav with teary eyes. He looked at her with teary eyes. Ruhana opened the back door and Manvi sat inside the car.

Ruhana sat in front and Vineet drove off to house. The whole journey was silent.

They reached home, Vineet moved inside the house silently. Ruhana said "neeche utar chal andar"

Manvi opened the door, she was scared as Vineet's silence was worrying her. She got down from the car, Ruhana held her by arm and pulled her inside the house.

"Mumma.. Main" Manvi said.

Ruhana looked towards her and slapped her face "kya kiya tune ye haan? Kya kiya? Apna pura saal barbaad kar diya tune!"

She jerked her few times "aisa kaise kar sakti hai tu Manvi? Professor se pyar! Ek baar bhi hamari izzat ka khayal nhi aaya tumhe haan?"

Manvi cries, Ruhana slapped her rapidly

"school se nikal diya hai tujhe! Samajh aa rahi hai baat, pura ek saal kharab ho gaya hai tera. Jhooth bolte hue sharam nahi aayi tujhe? Tution ke bahane aur kya kya kiya tune? " She shouted at her.

Manvi starts to cry loud.. "Sorry.."

"Baat mat karna mujhse! Professor ke saath tune kitna kuch kar liya hai.. Kahi muh dikhane layak nhi choda hai humhe tumne.. Kaha tha tumhare papa se mat do itni chut lekin suni nhi meri, ab bhugto. Dono Baap beti bahut ziddi hai na, sunenge kyun kisi ki. " Ruhana shouted at her and pushed her inside the room and locked it.

Here Shruti took Aarav for his dressing of his wounds. He thought "Manvi.. Na jaane kya hoga uska.. Mujhe ek baar uske maa baap se baat karni chahiye"

Shruti said "professor aap uske ghar jaane ke baare mein sochna bhi mat uncle aunty bahut naraz hai.."

"Janta hun Shruti.. Mere saath jo hua so hua par uska pura ek saal kharab ho jayega" Aarav said worriedly.

"Ab kya kar sakte hai hum professor, school ke rules bahut strict hai" Shruti said.

"It is all my mistake Shruti.. Main principal se baat karunga uska pura ek saal kharab nahi hone de sakta main" Aarav said.

RuVi home

Ruhana saw Vineet sitting on the bed, with his head in his hands. She moved to him

"Kaha tha maine, jis din manvi koi galti karegi, sabse zyada dukhi tum hoge. Dekh liya tumne, usne kya kiya? Ab kya kahoge? " she asked,her voice had a tinch of anger.

"Mujhe yakeen nahi ho raha ki hamari manvi aisa kuch kar sakti hai. "he said meekly.

"Hoga bhi kyun. Uske pyar ki patti jo bandh rakhi hai tumne apni aankhon par. Isliye kehti thi uski har zidd puri mat karo. Lekin nahi, meri suni nahi tumne. Ab dekho, kisi laayak nahi chhoda usne hume. " Ruhana said angrily.

"Ab pachta ke kya hoga? Uski harkatein badli hui thi hi. Par tumne dhyan nahi diya.. Main thodi strict kya hui dono ko bura lag gaya. Sambhal jati toh ye galti na hoti. Ab socho kya karna hai" she said.

"Ab wahi hoga jo hum chahenge. Manvi ko maanna hoga. " he said firmly.
