Chapter- 4 Ragging

Third Person's Pov-

A girl around 19 was crying on the end of the desk towards the right side . The  chair next to her was occupied by a girl around 25 and she was fuming with anger. Next to her was a man around 25 who gave a helpless yet guilty look. And behind him stood a group of young teens approximately 5 in number and 19 in age. And before the very eyes of these different faces was a 55 year old man who sat straight on his chair with a big desk reading his name MOHIT AGARWAL ( PRINCIPAL). He was the principal of this famous " ABC college". And all the members standing in his room were obviously present here for some sort of complaint being lodged up against the students. After a brief silence the man spoke up.

"Sir, I understand what they have done is not justified at all,its a mistake but you know exams are about to start in just 2 months and this is the most crucial time to study."The 25 yr old man said.

Just then the girl who sat beside him spoke up, fuming in anger.

" Then what were they supposed to do ,study or throw red ink on a girl's skirt to embarrass her in front of the whole college??? Agar padhne aaye hotein na toh shanti se padhai par hi dhyan de rahe hote iss tarah baki kisi ko pareshan nhi kar rahe hotein, just because she has the guts to speak up for herself. Ragging nhi karne di toh this is what they did to her and then people like you support such morons and justify their acts like inka clg main aana zaruri h padhai ki liye?? Puchiye na inko ki kitni classes attend kari h exams h toh inhone!! bloody rich spoiled brats " She turned towards the principal now.

"And sir with due respect what have you guys done to stop them??? just 1 week suspension? Do you really think this will work ??? Inko exams tak expel kariye iss college se warna main college par case kar dungi ki iss college main ragging ho rahi h and the authorities are simply entertaining such things " She said it loud and clear. Her aura was strict,she was not going to bend down.

" Dekhiye ma'am these children are new to the college,abhi abhi saal shuru hua h,main first year's ke liye yeh nhi kar sakta hu, 1 week suspension is fine I guess " Principal tried convincing her.

"I am not falling for your stupid lies, expel them or the college has to deal with this in court."she was not going to give in.

"Aapko hosh bhi h aap kisse baat kar rahi h??" The man said with utter arrogance.

"Dekhiye ma'am yeh h mister Shivaay Sehgal ,bht bade business man h aur iss college ke trustee bhi,aur in bacho ke bade bhai jinhone yeh sab kiya h " Principal tried explaining to her the situation.

"Toh main kya karu??? aarti utaru ya aapki tarah bhul jau ki kisi ke talwe chatne ki jagah mujhe meri duty ache se karni chahiye?? " She retorted.

"Listen miss, this college belongs to me and so whatever my siblings have done can be forgiven ,they are just stupid teenagers who did that for fun,I am not justifying them but you should take it easy, I will compensate this girl,she can even get a scholarship this year "Shivaay said as he tried to bury the matter.

But the lady could not stand Shivaay's arrogance,she took the bottle of ink and spilled it on his face and shirt. His exclusively expensive three piece suit which cost him around 9 lakh was ruined by this crazy woman .

"You!!!!! I had an important meeting to attend to you fool" He screamed in annoyance.

"So what?? go ahead, attend the meeting I just did that for fun, take it easy " She used his own words against him.

"Do you think this was fun?? You have no idea whom you're messing with! "He yelled, glaring at her.

"And do you think this was fun?? This girl has got a college to attend for the whole day with that red ink on her skirt!!!" She threw the ink bottle towards the principal but it didn't hurt him,only a few drops landed on his face.

"Bloody spineless" She said and  left with the girl who was still crying.

Shivaay left from there and sat in his car and the three students out of the five sat in his car too.

These three were Shivaay's triplet siblings who were 19 and this was only their first semester in the college and they were almost expelled.

Rudra Kunj and Priya were extremely ashamed of what happened in the cabin especially what they did to Twinkle by throwing red ink on her skirt just to take revenge from her because she did not complete the ragging task they gave to her and so Priya threw ink on her skirt and the whole college was looking at her and making fun of Twinkle which turned out to be very humiliating  for her. They never thought this would be so mean they really did that for fun.

"Shivaay bhaiya I am really sorry maine hi ink pheki thi" Priya said.

"Do you have any sense?? tune kya kiya h Priya??? How could you being a girl do this to another girl that too so embarrassing and humiliating,aur shivaay tu kya inki side le raha tha?? sahi bol rahi thi vo ladki,koi bhi isse hi behave karega agar kisi ladki ke saath koi issa karega toh! aur tu h ki bajai maafi mangne ki aur thos dikha raha h paiso ka!! I never expected this from you guys, better hoga ki tum 1 week ke baad uss ladki se maafi maang lo samjhe!!" The man in the driving seat said.

"Sorry MAHIR BHAI" Trio apologized.

"Chalo ghar aaj,dad dekhenge na tumhari harkatein phir unhe pata lagega ki unke ladle kya gul khila rahe h" Mahir said.

Soon they reached home and Sumitra-Andy got to know everything, they also scolded the trio.

All their privileges were cancelled,their pocket money cut,they were not allowed to leave the home for a month straight.

Andy also decided to put them in a coaching class so that they get busy with their studies and would not indulge in such activities.

The trio left for their room and it was just Shivaay,Mahir,Andy and sumitra.

"Mumma zara Shivaay se pucho toh sahi ink kese gir gayi iske upar " Mahir murmured into Sumitra's ear which Shivaay obviously noticed.

"Shivaay kya ho gaya tere kapde pe?? ink kese girr gayi? " Sumitra asked, acting completely normal.

" Ha,ha,uda lo,uda lo mazak, wese bhi aap toh tote ki tarah iski baatein repeat karti h na " Shivaay spited.

"Main batata hu mumma, kya hua tha! yeh uss ladki jispar inhone ink feki thi uske saath jo aayi thi uss ladki se behes kar raha tha ki main Shivaay Sehgal hu, kuch bhi kar sakta hu, itna bada business man hu,yeh college bhi mera h,inlogo ne kuch kardiya toh masti main kiya h so take it easy,aisa bola isne aur vo bandi itni khatarnak nikali ki usne ink ki bottle li aur Shivaay pe daal di "Mahir narrated the story to her and Sumitra's reaction was hilarious to witness.

"Kya???!!"Sumitra said and Mahir nodded laughing hard seeing her reaction.

"It's not funny Mahir"Shivaay said and Mahir dramatically apologized to him.

"Mein change krke aata hu"Shivaay said and left leaving the mother-son along with Andy.

"Chod tu aaja lunch ready hi h,saath mein khatein h"Sumitra said and Andy gave her an unbelievable look.

"Arre toh kaand toh aapke baaki bacchon ne kiya h na! Mera Mahir kyu bhukha rahe iss sab mein!Chal tu aaja khana khate h hum"Sumitra said and Mahir gave Andy a teasing look as he got up and went towards the dining table.

"Woh bacche sirf mere nhi h"Andy said but Sumitra gave him a deaf ear.

Shivaay came downstairs after changing and saw only Andy sitting alone in the living room.

"Aap akele kyu bethe h?"Shivaay asked.

"Tumhari mom ko Mahir me aage koi dikhta h?"Andy commented and Shivaay shook his head hearing that.

"Chaliye,woh dono toh hame lunch krne ke liye bulane se rahe"Shivaay said and Andy nodded and got up.

The two also made their way towards the dining table where Sumitra was already serving Mahir.

"Hum bhi h ghar mein mom"Shivaay said.

"Ha toh meine kab mana kiya h aajao khana rakha hua h"Sumitra said serving Mahir some roti even though he already had one on his plate.

"Wese tujhe pata h woh ladki kon thi??"Mahir asked as he looked at Shivaay.

"Kon ladki?"Sumitra asked.

"Wahi jisne iske upar ink daali thi"Mahir said.

"Why would I care?"Shivaay asked.

"Tu usse bhi jaanta h?"Sumitra asked Mahir who nodded his head.

"School mein hamare saath hi toh padhti thi,tu bhul gaya kya?"Mahir asked looking at Shivaay who got curious hearing that.

"Kon?"Shivaay asked.

"Bela Singhaniya"Mahir said and Shivaay frowned hearing that.

"I don't remember "Shivaay said.

"Arre woh ladki yrr jo hamesha apne mein hi rehti thi,uske saath ek aur ladki rehti thi,dono bas ek dusre se hi baat krte the"Mahir said but Shivaay still shook his head.

"I really don't care"Shivaay said and dismissed the topic.

Mahir sighed hearing him,his brother was always like this,hardly cared about anyone who wasn't family.

"Tumlogo ki baatein ho gayi ho toh meri baat suno ab"Andy said and the trio looked at him.

"I am serious about enrolling these three in some classes,bht chutt de di h inhe, bht laad-pyaar mil gaya h, it's time we be strict with them now,padhai ko lekr serious bhi nhi h,we can't let them be this way forever "Andy said and they all nodded at his words.

"I will ask Khanna to find some coaching,koi strict teacher hi ab inn teeno ko seedha kr sakta h"Shivaay said and Andy nodded then.

"Thik h fir tum teeno dekhlo kya karna h" Andy said.

"Tu baat mat krna,Khanna ko bol dena mujhe details bhej de mein baat kr lunga"Mahir said and Shivaay just nodded.

Mahir was anyways much better at talking to people than he was.

After sometime,

Mahir called on the enquiry number. The lady on the other side picked up the call.

"Hello is this ABC Coaching classes?? " Mahir asked.

"Yes" Lady replied from the other side.

"I wanted to inquire about the admission process,when can I have a chat with you ?? " Mahir asked.

"Today 3 pm if it's fine with you " The lady replied.

"Okay see you then " Mahir cut the call with that.

At 3 Mahir left for the coaching as agreed upon to talk about the admission process,he took Rudra,Kunj and Priya with him too.

They all finally reached the classes and Mahir along with the trio entered the classes and found the lady sitting on the chair.

"May we come in ma'am " Mahir asked before barging in.

" Yes please " She replied.

She sat on the chair which was turned around  and her table name plate read BELA .

Mahir  settled himself on the chairs and the trio stood behind him. The lady on the chair turned.

"Jii" As soon as she said her eyes caught the trio and then landed on Mahir.

What was he doing here??

"Tum??"Both of them said at the same time.

Not again.

They both sighed at the same time.

"Um...mujhe pata nhi tha tum teacher ho"Mahir said the first thing that occurred to him.

"I am sorry,do we know eachother well enough for you to address me so informally?"Bela asked and Mahir was taken aback hearing her words.

Did she just say that?

But they kind of know eachother since school days.

That was the best way to address her,right?

"Did I offend you?"Mahir asked, genuinely confused hearing her.

"Let's just be formal with eachother"Bela said and Mahir stared at her for a moment,before nodding.

"Okay then,Miss Singhaniya....

"Miss Bela would be fine"Bela said and Mahir was again confused.

"Yrr tumne hi bola tha abhi formal hona h!"Mahir said and she just looked at him.

"I am not getting into all this,I am just here to get my siblings into this coaching classes"Mahir said and Bela stared at the trio who were standing behind him,their heads down but she had already identified them.

"Admission??? Kiska inka?? In teeno ka jinko normal cordial human behavior bhi nhi pta kya hota h, inka admission karwana chahte h aap??? " Bela asked and Mahir sighed.

This was going to be difficult now.

"See I know what they did was wrong and I am....

"You know your siblings did wrong and yet you are defending them"Bela intervened and Mahir sighed.

Will she let him talk?

"Dekhiye aap galt samajh rahi h mujhe,mein inhe defend krne nhi aaya hu,mein sirf itna...

"Acha toh aisa kya keh sakte h aap jisse aapke bhai-behen ki galti maaf ki jaa sake?"Bela again interrupted him and Mahir again sighed.

Her anger was justified and she was also right at her place.

"Aap sahi h apni jagah pr...

"Mein agar sahi hu toh hame aage baat hi nhi krni chahiye "Bela said and now Mahir have had enough.

"Enough yrr,mujhe kam se kam apni baat toh puri krne do! Mana mere bhai-behen ne galat kiya h,lekin iska matlab yeh toh nhi na ki inhe padhai krne ka koi haq nhi! Already yeh log suspended h,do hafton mein final exams h inke aur inki hi galti h ki inhone padhai nhi ki time se,pr ab inhe bhi koskar kya fayda! As a brother toh mein inka bhala hi soch sakta hu ab, isliye mein aapke paas lekr aaya hu inhe taaki yeh log kuch toh seekh hi le exam se pehle "Mahir said and Bela heard him,each of his word without interrupting him.

"Are you done now?"Bela asked and Mahir nodded his head.

"Aapne jo bhi kaha usse mujhe koi farak nhi padta,I cannot accept such kids in my coaching jinko basic sahi galat ka farak na pata ho,and wese bhi aapke Bhai ne bht chod mein kaha tha na waha,ki bacche h,galti ho gayi,waha toh bht defend kr rahe the na yeh inhe toh aap unse hi kyu nhi kehte apne bhai-behen ke liye coaching dhundhne? Mere paas kyu aaye h?"Bela asked and Mahir sighed.

She was taking it all on her ego.

"Aap apni ego pr le rahi h cheezein ab,as a teacher sochiye na ki inn bacchon ko need h classes ki"Mahir said and Bela raised an eyebrow hearing him.

"Aap chahte h mein inko apni coaching mein admission du jinhone meri hi coaching ki ek student ko rag kiya h,woh bhi aaj hi! Aap jaante bhi h inko meri coaching mein dekhkr usse kesa feel hoga?? She doesn't belongs from an influential family like yours,aaj usne apni family ke bajay mujhe kyu bulaya tha pata h?? Kyuki uski family bht mushkil se uski padhai ke liye maani h,agar unhe pata chalta ki aisi aisi cheezein hoti h college mein,toh woh seedhe uski padhai band krwa dete,taaki unki beti safe rahe aisi cheezon se! Aur aapka Bhai mujhse keh raha tha ki woh usse scholarship de dega as compensation! Woh already double scholarship student h! He doesn't needs to do any favour on her,she is already capable enough!"Bela said and Mahir was left speechless.

He did feel bad for the girl who was tagged but he didn't knew how deeply it might have affected her.

"So sorry,lekin mein aapke bhai-behen ko admission nhi de sakti apni coaching mein,this place is for those who truly deserves and yearns for it"Bela said and got up,Mahir too got up because he understood that was a signal for him to leave.

But he before he left he turned and looked at Bela for one last time.

"I am truly sorry on their behalf,ho sake toh uss ladki ko bhi sorry bol dijiyega aap"Mahir said,truly from his heart and turned and left.

He couldn't stand there anymore and look at Bela,he was ashamed of what his siblings did and most importantly he was feeling bad for that girl.

"We are really sorry Bhai,hame nhi pata tha hamara mazak itna hurt kr sakta h kisi ko"Kunj said, ashamed of what he has done.

Mahir didn't say anything to them,he was speechless after hearing Bela.

On the other hand,

Bela got a call from the property owner as she was on her way to her home.

"Ji Sharma uncle boliye" Bela said.

" Ji main keh raha tha puttar, ab aap mere building main classes nhi le sakti h, mujhe building bechne ke liye bht achi deal milli h toh mujhe abhi ke abhi building khali karwani padegi "Sharma uncle,the building owner said.

" Yeh kya bol rahe h aap Sharma uncle?? isse kise achanak khali karwa sakte h aap meri classes?? at least mujhe thoda time toh dijiye " Bela requested,as the sudden news came as a shocker for her.

These classes was her only way of earning a living for herself and her dadu.

"Nhi ji puttar ji mein nhi wait kar sakta ,bht achi party mili h haath se nikal gyi toh wapas itni achi deal nhi milegi aur kab tak main iss umar main uski maintainance karwa karwa kar rent pe ghar chalunga,aap bhi samjho meri majboori ko puttar ji" He said humbly Bela knew he was old and this was the only source of income for him.

" Ok uncle ho jaega koi baat nhi,wese kon h jo puri building khareed raha h"

Bela asked because she had a doubt on who might be behind this.

" Koi Shivaay Sehgal h naam uska, business man h bada " Bela sighed after hearing this, she knew such influential people would do something to satisfy their ego, but Bela was not going to beg them.

She immediately announced 2 days holiday to the children and the day after was a Sunday. So luckily she had three days to find a knew place.

That bloody Shivaay Sehgal!

And his bloody brother was pretending to be sorry infront of her just now!

He couldn't handle her rejection that's why he asked his brother to use his power against her!

She had never expected Mahir to be such a vile man!

She was going to give it to him harder!

He has messed with the wrong person this time.

She might not have as much money as him but she was a dignified person who wouldn't bear to see wrong happening to anyone.
