Next Day

"Vikram...tu bachon ko private school kyun nahi bhej raha hai? Its so much safer. I could have gotten them admission to the private school the twins go to. It's very prestigious." Yash told his friend.

"Tune pehle hi Aryan ki admission Elite College mein karwaya hai...and if werent for the fact that he is getting a full scholarship toh main uske liye bhi raazi nahi hota. Right now, I cant afford private schools and we are already living with you. I dont want to bother you further." Vikram said.

"Arre but its really not a bother."

"Yash...I dont want to bring money into our friendship. Pls respect my wishes." Vikram replied.

"Ok...ok..If you say so." Yash said, "Btw tu apne business ka kya karega? You still didnt say who did all this....shayad main kuch madad kar sakta hoon."

"No No.... you've already done so much....hum handle kar lenge." Vikram insisted. 

"Ok...lekin if I can do ANYTHING toh zaroor batana." 

"I will...." Vikram smiled. 

"Dad...we are going back to that man's office right?" Karan asked.

"Of course...RV se toh hum milke hi rahenge." Vikram nodded.

He drove to the office with Meher, Karan & Sagar. Inside, the reception desk was empty so they just went up in the elevators. The secretary there was surprised to see them.

"Aap log phirse?"

They ignored her and stormed straight towards the CEO's cabin.

"Wha- you cant go there....Security!" The woman called out. She picked up her phone and called for security.

Meanwhile, Vikram swung the door open and RV was sitting at his desk doing some work. He looked up surprised. Vikram & Meher stopped for a second, feeling like he looked familiar. Sagar & Karan however....didnt stop.

"Mr. RV?" Sagar asked as RV.

"Yes...thats me." RV said with attitude, covering up his initial surprise. "And you are?"

"Are you serious?" Karan asked, "Tumne humara company take over kiya, saara property kharid dala...turned our lives completely inside out and you are asking who we are?"

"Karan..." Mehar held Karan's shoulder to control him.

"Im Vikram Khanna...aur yeh mere bache hai." Vikram spoke up.

"Oh! Khanna Industries...yes ab yaad aa raha hai."

"Im so sorry sir....we will get them out." One security man, Angad entered at that moment. He grabbed Meher by her arm and pulled her.

"Aah..." Meher flinched in pain.

"Hey! Chodo Di ko!" Karan yelled.

"Leave me!" Meher struggled to get free

"Shut up b*tch!" Angad snarled. "Itni bhi akal nahi hai ki you cant just come waltzing in to meet a man like RV.

"You-" Vikram got angry at his daughter's insult.

"You....get me coffee." Rv demanded randomly.

"What...."

Everyone looked at him weirdly.

"Sir...your PA Riya is just outside. Ill go get her..."

"Did I call for Riya? No...tum jao aur mere liye coffee leke ao....NOW."

"Y..Yes...s...sir..." Angad shivered. He ran out. Purab entered his cabin and was also surprised to see the Khannas.

"Sir..your coffee." Angad came with a cup of coffee. RV took the cup and looked at it.

"What the hell is this?" RV asked.

"C...C...Coffee." Angad stammered in fear.

"Coffee...hmm." RV then poured the entire cup of coffee into a plant pot that was beside him. Everyone else just stared at him in shock. "Kitne saal se yahan kaam kar rahe ho?"

"7 Saal."

"7 Saal and tumhe yeh bhi nahi paata that I only drink black coffee?"

"Im sorry sir...but this isnt my job." Angad said.

"Your job...is to do what I tell you to do." RV replied with an intimidating look, "I told you to bring me coffee, aur tum woh nahi kar paaye and obviously tum uss kaam mein bhi bohot burre ho jiske liye tumhe hire kiya gaya tha since they managed to come all the way up here...so now you are fired."

"What!" Angad's eyes widened and he kneeled down infront of RV with his hands together, "No no no pls sir! Dont fire me. Mere chote chote bache hai, I have to provide for them..."

"None of that is my concern. I cant have an employee working in my company who cant do one simple task."

"Purab sir! Pls pls aap baat kijiye RV sir se. Tell him not to fire me. Main kya karunga?" Angad looked towards Purab with hope and begged. Purab glanced at RV and sighed.

"Sorry Angad, you know I cant override RV's decision." Purab said.

"Tumhare paas 30 minute hai, pack your things and leave my office." In tears, Angad left.

"Whats wrong with you? Tumne ek coffee ke liye usse fire kar diya? It isnt even his job to make you coffee. Woh security wala hai!" Meher protested.

"Tumhe apne employees ko aise treat ahi karni chahiye." Vikram added. RV turned and glared at him.

"Aur tum hote kaun ho....mujhe batane wale ke mujhe kya karna chaiye aur kya nahi? If you're feeling so sorry for him then why dont you hire him....oh wait, you can't kyunki tumhare paas toh company hi nahi hai."

"Main yahan bohot shareef tareeke se baat kar raha hoon...there is no need for this rudeness." Vikram said."Anyways, Mujhe mere company ke baare mein baat karna hai."

"You mean MY company. Khanna Industries ab Khanna parivaar ka nahi hai....did you not get the memo?" RV smirked.

"Khanna Industries humesha Khannas ka tha aur humesha rahega! We will get our company back no matter what. Mujhe nahi paata ki humne tumhare saath aisa kya kiya lekin--" RV's sarcastic laugh interrupted Vikram.

"Tumhe nahi paata ke tumne kya kiya? I know you're old but thoda sa apna dimaag ka istamal karo aur socho.....socho ki ek aadmi jisse tum kabhi nahi mile...woh kyun karega aisa." RV took a step forwards and sneered at him, "Its because you deserve it....Mr Vikram Khanna (Scoff) you think I took everything from you? Tumne jo mere saath kiya uske samne yeh toh kuch bhi nahi hai. You....are....a horrible....despicable man (Mocking tone) behind this good person facade-"

The next moment, a fist came and punched RV in the face.

"RV...tu thik hai?" Purab asked as RV wiped his face. Fuming, Sagar grabbed RV by the collar.

"Dont you dare!Kaafi der se main chup hoon. Itna sab hone ke baad bhi hum tumse baat karne aaye hai aur TUM...tum sirf mere Dad ko blame kar rahe ho! Listen to me very carefully Mr RV or whatever your name is....mere Dad ya mere family ke baare agar kuch galat bola na toh you will see the worst side of Sagar Khanna."

"Sagar...leave him! He isnt worth it!" Meher pried her younger brother's hands off RV's collar.

"Chalo yahan se....mujhe laga ki hum mature businessmen ki tarah baat kar sakte hai." Vikram said. "I guess I was wrong."

"AARGH!" RV yelled as he picked up a vase from his desk and threw it against the wall shattering it as soon as they were in the elevators..

"Raj....calm down, chot lag jayega."Purab said.

"Calm down? I cant....I hate him.....I HATE Vikram Khanna.... and his family. Sabse nafrat karta hoon main!"

"Sab se nahi.." Purab said, "Agar karta toh tu Angad ko naukri se kyun nikalta?"

"Maine bol toh diya...kyun kiya fire."

"Right...the coffee.." Purab chuckled, "Raj jake uss insaan se jhoot bol jo tujhe 18 saal se na jaanta ho. I know you better than you know yourself. You wanted to fire Angad the moment he was rude with Meher Khanna lekin tere paas koi vajah nahi tha....the coffee was your reason. You may have fired many interns and secretaries over coffee but to fire someone who has been a loyal and hard working employee for 7 years aur woh bhi jo security mein kaam karta ho yahan office mein nahi....because of coffee? No, you wouldnt do that....so whether you admit it or not, Mujhe paata hai tune Vikram Khanna ki beti ke liye usse naukri se nikala."

Elite College

Aryan entered the college campus on his scooty... which was very old and wasnt in the best condition...its not like Aryan's family couldnt afford to buy a car for him. Infact up until a few days ago, Aryan could have had any car he wanted but this scooty belonged to his Dadaji so it had a special spot in his heart. As he walked towards the main door, Aryan looked around in wonder. The building infront of him was so big and almost looked like it wasnt even made in India.

SLAP!

"Ow!" Aryan held his cheek which was stinging and turned to the young boy that had just slapped him. "Yeh kis liye tha?"

"Sorry....they made me." The boy pointed towards a group of older students. They were all gathered by a car and laughing at the boy.

"Ragging? Seriously?" Aryan started to make his way towards them, "Chalo mere saath."

"Tum mein se kisne iss bola tha mujhe thappas marne ke liye?" Aryan asked. Nandini, who was laying on top of a red car slid off and walked towards Aryan. She was wearing ripped jeans and a grey crop top that was tied at the front.

"Hmm..nishan toh nahi hai." The girl said as she grabbed his face and turned it to the side to take a look at his cheek. "Itna bhi zor se nahi tha...you're fine. Bilkul chot nahi laga hai."

"Yaar Nandu, shayad iske dil ko chot lag gaya hoga. Bechare newbie ko burra lag gaya hoga." Another girl joked, making everyone laugh.

"Mujhe mera koi fikar nahi hai. You were ragging this kid."

" Dude, it was only a slap...chill." One of the guys spoke up. "Who are you anyways?"

"My name is Aryan Khanna and slap or not....ragging ragging hota hai and it's wrong. I will report you."

"Hahaha!" Niki laughed, "You must be new."

"What?" Aryan asked looking confused.

"Oh look...there is Principle sir right now. Jao jaake complain karo...my name is Nandini."

"Fine...I will." Aryan replied an marched up to the Principle. "Excuse me...sir."

"Nandini...if he complains toh Ma mujhe maar dalenge." One of the girls standing beside her whispered.

"Relax Payal...I only told him my name and you know Principle sir mere khilaf koi complaint lenge nahi."

"Sir...woh ladki." Aryan pointed to Niki, "Nandini...I think her name is. She was ragging this boy."

"Kaun?" The principle asked looking around.

"Him-" Aryan looked around and saw that the boy was nowhere in sight. "Abhi toh yahi tha....kaha gaya?"

"I think you should go to class now." The Principle said.

"Wait but sir...woh ladki-"

"There is no need to get so worked up...Nandini bas thodi masti kar rahi thi."

"Wha-" Aryan watched as the Principle ignored him and left.

"So." Nandini asked as she walked up to him. "Am I suspended?"

"You knew." Aryan glared. "Tumhe paata tha woh nahi sunne wale."

"Of course I did. This college runs on my brother's money. Mera bhai iss college ka trustee hai...koi complaint nahi leta mera...especially not because of a little slap."

"Spoilt brat..." Aryan mumbled as Nandini turned to leave with her friends.

"Kya bulaya tumne mujhe?"

"A spoilt brat cause thats what you are."

"You-"

"Nandu...Chodo na. We need to get to class." Payal held her friend back.

"How dare he call me a spoilt brat....Samajta kya hai woh apne aap ko?" Nandini said as they walked away. "Nobody calls Nandini names and gets away with it."

"Ooh...I like where this is going. Plan kya hai?" One of Nandini's friends, a tall guy with wavy black hair asked.

"He wants to complain about me? This time Ill really give him something to complain about." Nandini smirked as she noticed Aryan's scooty which looked out of place beside all the expensive cars and motorcycles. "Yug...Rey, tow truck ko bulao."

"Yess ma'am." Yug & Rey replied and then left.

"Tina....tu rukh aur jab tow truck leke jaa raha hai THEN go inform our new fellow student that if he wants to see his scooty ever again...usse bhagna parega."

"Okay."

"Nandini...he will miss first period class. If he has Iyer Sir toh he will land in alot of trouble." Payal said.

"If he does have Iyer Sir for 1st period....then thats just too bad for him isnt it?" Nandini smirked.

A little while later....

"Tanmay Nair."

"Present sir!"

"Anuja Bhattacharya."

"Present sir."

"Aryan Khanna."

....

"Aryan Khanna!"

"See...I knew it. He is in Iyer Sir's class. Ab kya?" Payal whispered.

"Ab? Kuch nahi...there is no way woh class ke end tak vapas aa payega and Iyer Sir will be furious."

"Sir!" Nandini spoke up, "Mujhe nahi lagta woh yahan hai...."

"Aryan Khanna!"

"Im here sir!" Aryan came running in gasping for breathe.

"What the- Yeh itni jaldi vapas kaise aa gaye?" Nandini looked at Payal who shrugged.

"You're just in time...I was about to mark you absent."

"Sorry Sir, phirse nahi hoga."

"Hmm...it better not. I dont accept tardiness in my class." Professor Iyer replied, "Jao Nandini aur Payal ke piche wale seat pe baith jao."

"Yes Sir." Aryan said. He then walked to his seat and sat down, leaning forward he whispered so only Payal & Nandini could hear. "Nice try...lekin main aaj tak kabhi late nahi hua class ke liye. I wasnt about to start now."

*Flashback*

"Wait! Rukho!" Aryan yelled as he ran after the tow truck. "Dammit...I'll be late for class....Lekin mera scooty..... Kya karun kya karun?"

Suddenly Aryan thought of something and took out his phone and called his brother.

"Whats up chote.." Karan greeted him.

"Karan Bhaiyya I need help. Scooty tow ho gaya"

"What...kaise?"

"Its a long story...but aap churwa sakte hau pls. I'll be late for class, iagar main abhi vapas nahi gaya toh." Aryan explained.

"Haan Haan, tu jaa. I'll go get the scooty and I'll pick you up from college today." Karan said.

"Great..thanks bhaiyya." Aryan hung up the phone & ran back to the college.

*Flashback Ends*
