Few days later, Tina and her
friends visited Vikram with their parents. Gauri offered them a seat on the bed
and served them water.
"We wanted Vikram sir
to teach our children. The new teachers aren't so knowledgeable as Vikram
sir." The parents said while Vikram looked at the children and then at the
parents and said "May be the kids are taking time to adjust with the new
teachers. They need some time and I'm sure the kids will follow what they are
teaching."
One parent said "No.
The teachers are good but our kids are used to your style of learning and Tina
has been your student since 8 years. Following the new syllabus is getting
tough for her because the new teachers are just rushing through the chapters.
Because of this Tina and the other kids have scored very badly in their tests
last week. Is it possible for you to give our kids tuition? We will pay you for
that and it will help our children as well."
Gauri tried to convince
Vikram to take tuition and he finally agreed to teach the children in his house
after school hours.
Two weeks later...
Kalpana met Raghav outside
an IT company and she called out to him.
Raghav tried to avoid her
and while entering the rickshaw, Kalpana held his hand and stopped him from
leaving.
"Why are you avoiding
me Raghav? I called you so many times from Delhi but you dint pick up my call
even once. No call, no message nothing. You know how much I missed you. And now
I met you after 3 weeks and you aren't even looking at me?" Raghav had no
courage to face her as he knew he had no reason to not talk to her and he
couldn't even tell her the truth about her father.
"Answer me Raghav. Have
I done something that you don't want to talk to me?" Kalpana said holding
her tears. "Should I consider this as our last meeting?" She bit her
lips and Raghav extended his hand but stopped himself from wiping her tears.
Kalpana noticed his gesture and said "Why are you behaving this way
Raghav? You dint even tell me that you left Kapoor Industries. I came to know
when I went to the office and asked about you. Dad and bro also dint let me
know about it. What happened Raghav? You don't consider me worthy of knowing
anything?"
"OK fine. You don't
want to tell me anything then it's OK. I also won't ask you anything. After
all, what right do I have on you? I was a fool who thought that you loved
me."
Raghav held her hand and
hugged her tight "I love you Kalpi. I love you a lot. I was just stressed
as I dint get a job till now and even dad lost his job."
*********
Vikram was teaching the
students when Tina said that she had left her school note book in the class
which she required to learn for the next day's test. Vikram decided to
accompany her to the school as it was quite late at night and there would be
nobody in the school at that time.
Tina's friend Mira insisted
to join them but Mira's mother refused from sending her saying that it would be
late by the time Vikram and Tina would come back and she should remain at home
and complete her homework while waiting for them to return.
Vikram and Tina reach the
school and the watchman let's them in.
Tina searched her class for
the book but she doesn't find it. She decided to go to the basement but since
the basement had no light, Vikram called the watchman to bring a candle or
torch that could help them search her book.
Vikram told Tina to stay in
the corridor itself till he returns but Tina decided to go herself to the
basement and try searching it as she dint want to waste time.
Vikram and the watchman
searched in the principal's cabin for a torch while Tina started searching for
her book on the stage of the basement with the help of the little light from
the corridor. She noticed that her book was left on the stairs and so she got
down and picked her book.
*******
Prem was driving back home
when his car got punctured in the middle of the road. He got down from his car
in anger and noticed that the school was nearby.
It started pouring heavily
and Vikram and the watchman came back to the corridor and noticed Tina wasn't
there. Vikram started getting nervous as he dint understand where she could go.
Prem, on the other hand,
rushed inside the school to save himself from getting wet. He tried using his
mobile to call his driver but he wasn't able to connect due to signal issues. .
It started thundering and
lightening and because of fright, Tina fell down from the stairs and got hurt
on her knee. She held her knee and started crying in pain.
Prem who was standing
outside the basement heard a cry and he peeped through the window and noticed
Tina sitting on the floor and holding her knee.
He kept observing her knee
and the skirt which had moved up her knee making her legs visible. He caught
the railing of the window and felt like claiming the girl's body.
Prem entered the basement
and Tina kept holding her leg when she noticed a shadow before her. She looked
up and Prem covered her mouth with his hand and tears kept dripping from her
eyes.
