History Repeats Itself

11 years later...

Avni stood in her cabin looking through a file with a frown on her face. Suddenly, the telephone started to ring. Her attention still focused on the file, she picked up the phone.

Her eyes widened as the person spoke through the other side. Avni rubbed her forehead in frustration as she kept on listening.

"Yeah, okay. I will be there in an hour." She replied and placed the phone on the holder.

Taking a seat, she sighed placing her head down on the table to take a deep breath. After a couple of minutes, she dialled Neil who picked up in a couple of rings.

"Did you get the call?" She asked him without any formality.

"Yeah, I will pick you up in 10 minutes." He responded.

"Okay, see you then." She ended the call and got back to her file still distracted from the call.

Both Avni and Neil stopped the car in front of a building. Taking a deep breath, Avni walked forward. Neil held her hand and pulled her in.

Knocking on the door, they walked into the room to see a 16 year old Misti sitting in the corner with her head down. She immediately looked up at her parents with pleading eyes. Neil sympathized for her while Avni glared at her in anger.

"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Khanna for coming," The principle greeted. "Again." She added while eyeing Misti.

"Ab kya kiya isne?" Avni asked, cutting to the chase.

"She was involved in a fight." The principle started.

"Well, did she win?" Neil questioned.

The principle frowned in confusion while Avni facepalmed herself. Misti smiled widely at Neil's remark. "Sorry." He quickly apologized. Misti pouted sadly.

"She slapped a boy and then continued to punch him until the teacher arrived. Bari muskil se maine uss ladke ke parents ko samjhaya hai warna wo toh complain karna chahte the." She said.

"I am so sorry." Avni apologized and then gave Misti the death stare.

"Why did you hit the boy?" Neil turned and asked her.

"Because he proposed to me." She innocently replied with her puppy eyes.

"Did you do the karate chop that I taught you?" Neil whispered that was heard by everyone.

Misti nodded enthusiastically.

"Mr. Khanna!" The principle scolded.

"I apologize for both of them. Aap uss ladke ke parents ka number de deyeje. Main unse personally baat kar lungi." Avni offered.

The principle wrote the number and handed it to Avni.

"Mrs. Khaana, aap please isse samjhaye. This is the 5th time that you have been called in a month. Agar aise hi chalta raha toh hume Misti ko suspend karna hoga." She warned.

"I understand." Avni replied.

Avni and Neil stood up as well as Misti. After the goodbye, Avni stormed out of the office while Neil and Misti quietly followed making sure not to instigate the ticking time bomb.

"Good job." Neil whispered making sure it was not heard by Avni.

"Thanks." Misti replied.

Strapping themselves in their seat, they all drove to their next destination...in complete silence.
