Chapter 7: The Slap

Kavita marched towards Sheesh and Sahil and Swara folded her arm across her chest, keen to know what action Sanskaar would take right now to stop Kavita.

Kavita snatches the phone away from them and their gazes move with it, they blink at a fuming Kavita. 

"How dare you!" Sahil and Sheesh scrunch their eyebrows at Kavita, who starts to lash out at them.

Sanskaar crossed his fingers in nervousness, hoping they wouldn't say his name after Kavita confronts them.

"What do you mean?" Sahil asked, standing up while Sheesh stares at Sanskaar who was stood behind her.

"Do not 'what do you mean' me! Do you understand. I know it was you two who pulled that prank and did this cheap act with Swara! Don't you two have any shame? Why the hell did you do that?" Kavita yelled, silencing the whole canteen as few faces divert their gazes towards them.

"What are you saying? What proof. . ." Before Sahil could complete, Kavita interrupted. "Don't play that bullshit with me Sahil, okay! I've got proof and Arun is the proof!" Kavita exclaims fiercely as Sahil and Sheesh stare at Arun.

"What is he on about? When did he see us?" Sheesh blurts out and Sanskaar clenches his fist, frustrated as Kavita scoffed at their stupidity.

"And there you go, admitting it was you! Why the hell did you do this? Haan?!" She angrily questioned, grabbing Sheesh's collar.

Sheesh stares at Sanskaar, shocked to see him not reacting in his defence at all.

"Sanskaar. . ."

"How can you two do this? You two literally made me feel ashamed!" Sanskaar disgustedly interrupts, shocking Sahil and Sheesh.

Swara shakes her head in disbelief, disgusted to see how Sanskaar turned his back on his friends who supported him in every phase of his life.

"Why? You weren't ashamed while doing this then why are you quiet? I want to know why you did this to Swara!" Kavita shouts, angrily inching towards Sheesh to slap him but before she could, Sanskaar holds her hand.

Kavita turns her head to the side, staring at Sanskaar. "Why are you wasting your time and energy on them? They don't deserve it! After this cheap act, you shouldn't even be anywhere near them."

Sheesh and Sahil swallow, startled to see him turning his back on them.

"You're right Sanskaar. The principal will punish them." Kavita utters, letting go of Sheesh's collar "And I will make sure cheap people like them get suspended from the college." She adds, dusting her hand and turning around, staring at everyone gazing at her.

"The video of Swara was Sheesh and Sahil's prank. Swara is innocent." Kavita declared before walking away.

Sanskaar turns towards Sheesh and Sahil, who now stare at him angrily and instead of talking to them to solve this issue out, he walked away in the direction Kavita went to stop her from reporting Sheesh and Sahil to the principal.

Sheesh and Sahil shake their heads in disgust and Sheesh notices Arun turning and headed to him.

"Why did you do this?" Sheesh asked, stopping Arun as he stopped in front of him in the nick of time.

The bell had rang, alerting the whole students to attend their next class. Swara gave a disgusted glance to Sahil and Sheesh, who see her.

"Listen, it's lesson time." Arun retorts, trying to walk away from the scene but this time Sahil comes forward and blocks his way.

The students slowly started to empty the canteen and Swara slowly turned, starting to walk towards the exit.

"Sanskaar told me to say this." Swara stops after hearing Arun's statement and turns towards them again, this time being surprised.

"What? But why would he do that?" Sheesh shockingly questioned, frustrated at the response Arun gave to his question.

"I don't know. I just got told to say your and Sahil's name." Arun responds, shrugging as he starts acting of being unaware.

Swara understands Arun's game plan and starts approaching towards them.

"Because he wanted Kavita and we all know how crazy he is about her. I to be honest, never ever thought he would stoop this low that he would put the whole blame on your heads. Aren't you two his friends?" Swara disgustedly utters, presenting her genuine thought in front of them.

Sahil and Sheesh move their eyes towards her as she continues speaking. "I know it was Sanskaar who planned this too. Then why did he throw the blame on you and Sahil? Disgusting! He can never be loyal to anyone. You two done everything for him, even ruined my life and what did he give you in return? A snaky move, he's such a snake!"

Sheesh and Sahil clench their fists, considering Swara's words, being angered by Sanskaar.

"I can't believe this though, he broke his friendship with you two just for a girl he probably met recently? Like seriously? Even I'm not that sneaky towards my friends. See these bruises. . ." Arun utters, trying to add more fuel into a burning situation to cause an explosion, which would satisfy him.

He pointed at his wounds and Sahil and Sheesh look at him. "I got these from her brother and I swear I didn't even slip out the name who actually spiked her drink. I would rather die than snaking his name out. Cause he's my friend." Arun added, making Sahil and Sheesh more angry and moody.

"At least we know that Kavita is more important for him than his friends, who he insulted in front of everyone despite being involved." Swara sighed, shaking her head in disbelief.

"He's a snake." Arun says just before walking away.

"You two supported a guy who has blamed you for all of this. I would never stay with him after knowing he can bite me for his benefit." Swara utters, adding the final fuel to their fiery situation as she walked away too.

After she walked out from the canteen, she gazes around to find Arun. Spotting him heading out of the college gate, she sighed, hoping to ask him questions tomorrow.

**

"What are you doing Kavita, why are you complaining to the principal?"

"What do you mean Sanskaar? They deserve to be. . ."

"I agree with you Kavita, what they did was unacceptable and disgusting but if we tell the principal then we will give them an easy way out, they need to be taught a lesson right?" He interrupts, hoping she would understand what he was trying to imply.

She narrows her eyes "What?"

"Yes Kavita, we can teach them a lesson our way. If the principal rusticates them from the college then how will we torture them everyday to make them realise how wrong they were?" He manipulates her with his words and Kavita blinked, nodding at him.

"If we want to show them they messed with the wrong people then we should punish them everyday and our way." He adds, managing to influence her thinking.

"You're right Sanskaar, instead of complaining to the principal, I will make sure they get punished for their deeds." Kavita responds and Sanskaar nods, curling a small faint smile across his lips.

Kavita managed to see Swara walking on the other side. "Swara!" She called out and Swara stops, looking up at her and Sanskaar.

Kavita rushed towards her while Sanskaar was stood there watching Kavita stop in front of Swara.

She inhaled a deep breath. "I'm sorry." She exhaled. "I made a mistake not trusting you. I should've trusted you rather than that fake video. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." Swara responds, blinking at Kavita with a faint smile "Anyone would've thought what you had thought. I understand." She adds and Kavita pulls Swara into a hug.

"I know you're hurt. Don't try hiding it and I really mean it, I'm sorry." Kavita genuinely apologises and Swara hugs her back. "The misunderstandings were created, I don't blame you." She replies while lifting her gaze and glaring at Sanskaar.

Kavita breaks the hug, "are you sure you're not angry. . ."

"I'm not, I promise." Swara interrupts, assuring Kavita and Kavita sighed a relief.

It wasn't long enough when a teacher walked by, noticing the two. "Kavita, Swara. . . Don't you two have a class to attend?" They turn their head to the side. "Uh. . . We. . ." They struggled to respond and the teacher raised her index finger, swaying it, signalling the two to leave.

Kavita rushes the direction Swara came from while Swara walks in the direction Kavita came from. Sanskaar knew she had increased her speed just to whizz pass him and before she could, he grabs her hand and pulled her to the side, which had taken the two to an isolated classroom.

Swara jerked her hand away from his grip, glaring at him unbelievably while he swallowed his spit, preparing himself to say something.

"Swara, I'm sorry." He instantly apologised, swallowing again and now waiting for Swara to respond.

Swara raised her hand, swaying it across his cheeks, slapping him in the face. He shockingly blinks, feeling a pang of sting on his cheek and soon felt his cheek warming up.
