“Marks define future. First year students, you all could perform better. Next time work hard and don't wander on stupid trips,” Professor Prem Kumar Chaudhary spoke after result declaration.

Some students who couldn't perform good looked at the professor trying to hide their agony, while some other dissatisfied students were cussing professors in their minds for not giving them better marks.

There was even a third kind of category.
“ One should be satisfied with what one gets, greed is unhealthy” speaker spoke with seriousness. A few disciples appreciated the speaker. 

“Your flunked and still, you are happy? “Questioned a dedicated disciple to the speaker.

The speaker smiled and said,” Expectations are the reason of a sad life. Be happy and carefree, life beyond exams and marks”.

“Yo Yo what are you doing in the middle of the corridor?” spoke a confused Kaustuki to Yo Yo.

“Kaustuki, I am spreading happiness to my disciples, to my followers who need my guidance in the moment of anxiety, “Yo Yo replied calmly.

“Yo Yo after flunking in exams, how can you be happy?” Sanyukta asked
intrigued.

"I will get more time to spend in F.IT.E with my friends here. That's a blessing in disguise" Yo Yo replied.

“You are a fool, Randhir spoke responding to Yo Yo.

“Not more than you. At least Yo Yo Paji knows how to be civil,” Sanyukta spoke defensively.

“Oh yeah, we just saw his sincerity in Vizag” Randhir spoke sarcastically.

“Randhir Singh Shekhawat you too were his companion at Vizag. I guess you suffer with shirt term memory loss,” Sanyukta smirked.

Randhir looked pissed, but before he can think of  a cunning comeback, Parth calls his name from behind saying, “Randhir hurry everyone is waiting for you in the auditorium”.

“Yeah of course, genius like me deserve me felicitation. After all I stood first. World remember who came first, the second ranked is forgotten like trash” Randhir spoke looking towards Sanyukta, and he left for auditorium.

Sanyukta mumbled,”Air head genius, my foot”.

“Good Morning everyone, today our honorable chief guest is here to appreciate and facilitate our topper of year 1,mechanical engineering. Give a round of applause to Randhir Singh Shekhawat "Anchor spoke with enthusiasm.

Randhir quickly went on stage to receive the prize. Sanyukta looked at the stage boringly.

“Let's welcome our chief guest and chairperson of our management, Renuka Sanyal” the anchor spoke.

Randhir's face drained as he saw the chief guest. On the hand Renuka gave a bright grin towards Randhir.

As Renuka tried to hand over the trophy to Randhir, the latter glared the former.

Randhir abruptly left the stage fuming in anger. The auditorium went silent, the audience gasped in amazement.

Sanyukta noticed something unusual on Randhir's face, something more than anger, so she followed Randhir.

She went to the boys hostel behind Randhir ignoring all the gazes she received from the young lads around.

Randhir was about to close the door when Sanyukta barged in forcefully. “What the heck is wrong with Randhir?” She asked or rather demanded.

“Get Lost !” Randhir shouted.

“Randhir answer me why you left the stage? What triggered you?Sanyukta spoke again.

“Sanyukta Aggarwal leave immediately or else I will throw you out!”Randhir warned.

“I won't until you speak up,” Sanyukta denied.

Randhir quivered in anger. Sanyukta had noticed that Randhir's  eyes were glistening when he left the stage,now she could see big tears forming in Randhir's eyes. This was something  unusual for the rude, strong and arrogant Randhir.

“What is the thing that is hurting you, Randhir?Sanyukta asked softly, cupping Randhir's face in her palm.

Like a burning candle, Randhir melted in Sanyukta's embrace, shedding all the tears that he had.

“She was never there when I wanted her. Now she came here to show her affection. I hate her, “Randhir spoke in between hiccups.

Sanyukta rubbed his back, "It's alright Randhir, you can cry, I won't judge you. Men too can cry whenever they need. Whom are you talking about?”.

“I am talking about Renuka Sanyal, that woman is unfortunately my damn mother !”Randhir spoke out, leaving Sanyukta astonished.

Now it will be interesting how Randhir's relation with Renuka will affect his present, how will Sanyukta perceive the whole situation. This new revelation will definitely bring thunders and storms, let's see what happens next.
