Hello TaaReyians... here's the next chapter.

They all reached college to celebrate their victory.

VP - congrats to All of u!!! U r now the best dancers of India in your respective styles.
All - Yeee!!! Wohooo!!!
VP - and so our college is throwing a party for all of u on this coming sunday. All - what!!! Yeee!!!
VP - enjoy... and u all may leave. Noise pollution plz mere cabin k bahar...They all leave his cabin.
Taani - we are the best. Humne India k saare participants se compete kr k ye tag hasil kia h. Let's party!!!!!
Shivam - wohooo!!! Party at Wink club tonight!!!
All - Wohoo!!!At night.All were looking hot as usual. Girls were wearing thigh length dresses which barely covered their thighs.

At Club----

Shivam - baby, let's dance.
Taani - nhi Shivam aj nhi.
Shivam - what, u r denying for dance. Is it really u?
Taani - baby plz...
Shivam - 1 min, is it ur 1st day?

Taani nods.
Shivam - to tum aayi qq baby. Chlo abi b late nhi hua h, let's go home.
Taani - what!! No, mujhe tum sb k sath enjoy krna tha isliye I came. Tum jao Kriya k sath dance kro, m fine here.

Taani - I will.Rey comes near Taani, & gives her luke warm water.
Rey - this will help u.
Taani - u heard?

Rey nods.

Taani drinks the water.

Taani - what an irony... phle girls used to feel ashamed & irritated jb unhe periods aate the... mom tk ko btane me sharmate the girls. And look now, kitna kuch bdl gya h.
Rey - u r right. Time k sath insaan ko bdlna chahiye. This is what a clock teaches us. The numbers always change, the second which went a sec ago won't ever come back. Jaise ghadi ki needle, numbers & dates change krti h vaise hi every human being needs to change. Taani - true.
All - Ok.... now... shots plz.
Taani - what!! no. No one's gonna drink ok.
All - Ok. Shots plz....

Sharon - babe, tune ye to keh dia no drinking, but kya nhi peena ye to nhi btaya... so....They all took their shots & downed it in.
Kriya - wohoo!!!After some more shots everyone were at their places.

Swayam - a new AVP has been appointed, and....
Shivam - what else?
Rey - that bloody.... has banned dance.
All - what!!!!
Taani - yes.
All - who the hell is she?
Taani - it's not actually she... it's he. And that he is... Shivam... ur beloved dad.
Shivam - that's impossible.
Taani - no it's not. Look...

She showed a pic of the new AVP on college site.

Shivam - F*ck!!!!
All - Exactly.
Taani - we all know how much he hates dance.
Shivam - I think I need to have a word with him.

He rushes to the new AVP cabin.

Shivam - what the bloody hell dad!!!
AVP - Ooo, welcome son.
Shivam - but u r not at all welcome dad. How can u even do this? U know how much I love...
AVP - naachna. Yes I know... isliye to tumhare dimag se dance ka bhoot nikalne aaya hu.
Shivam - dad, this is not done. U cannot do this.
AVP - I can... I have already done it my lovely son.
Shivam - I'll hate u till my last breathe dad.
AVP - abi tk kaunsa tum mujhse pyaar krte aa rhe ho.
Shivam - I hate u!!!

Saying so he barges out.

Taani heard everything & now she barged in.

Taani - ab aap kya chahte h uncle?
AVP - it's sir for u.
Taani - Ooo & u think I would give a damn about that.
AVP - next word against me & u would be kicked out of the GS post.
Taani - as if I care. Mai GS kisi k meherbani se nhi apne dm pe bni hu. So this kicking out of my position won't work on me Mr. Dutta.
AVP - get out!!!
Taani - with pleasure. But keep 1 thing in mind, u hurt Shivam u hurt me. And u know, what happens when that happens.

Saying so with a smirk she leaves AVP's cabin.In canteen.

Rey - Shivam... we are with u.
Shivam - I know guys.
Taani - but we cannot just sit like fools over here & wait for ur dad to come up with his next plan.
Swayam - to kya kre?
Taani - we have to come up with a strategy.
Rey - what strategy?
Taani - pure college ko pta h, that whatever St.louis is today, it's just coz of dance.
Sharon - that's right.
Taani - hence, hum saare clubs ka progress report bnaenge and present krenge to our trustees.
Kriya - n why would all the trustees come?
Taani - leave that on me babe. Let's get started. vicky u get the Sports progress report. Neha & Kriya go for Drama, bhai & Sharon go for singing, I & Rey will be working on Dance, Shivam u take care of ur dad. Distract him as much as u can.
All - got it.

Everyone by eve gets the report as planned.

Taani - now, presentation bnana hoga.
Shivam - I'll do that.
Taani - u sure? Ur dad will keep a watch on u.
Shivam - I'll do it taani. Don't worry.
Taani - cool. Then let's meet tomorrow at 7 on terrace.
All - done.

Next Mrng @7am

Taani - ok Shivam, where's the presentation.
Shivam - here... pen drive.
Sharon - what about the trustees.
Taani - they'll be showing up at 12.
Rey - cool. Humare paas abi time h, let's get the arrangements done.The arrangements are been done, the trustees are seated at their places.
Taani - welcome our Respected Trustee. Our VP sir is out of town for a while, hence forth his work is been handled by our AVP sir, Mr. Dutta.

They all hear an applaud.

Taani - as we all know that the most famous Club which is "Dance" has been banned in our college. But we students cum dancers want it to be back. We weren't given any reason for the ban, though we have got the signatures of majority of students who wants dance back in our college.

She hands over the document with Signature to the trustees.

Taani - that won't be enough hence we have also prepared a presentation which could help you all to know how dance has helped this college to achieve the benchmarks.

Shivam puts on the pendrive in laptop which is projected on the projector.The presentation displays good amount of appreciation from dance club.Everyone applauds after the presentation is completed.

Trustee 1 - Ok Ms. Shekhawat, we are under your favor. But we have also got an issue with that. The students who are included in the Dance club are only good enough for dance. We want them to atleast be better in 2 other clubs. It can be sports + drama, drama + singing, sports + academics, drama + academics, etc. If you give us your word that the students inclulded in dance club can gain 50% in 2 other clubs we will happily banish this dance ban act.D3 team were now worried after hearing this condition.
Taani - sir, I understand ur concern. But dance is not just a club or activity for us, it's our passion. Just like singing can cure normal diseases, dance works like an oxygen for us. And diverting our minds from dance to other clubs won't help us. The way business can be one's passion, dance is ours sir, if u could understand our feelings.
Trustee 2 - we do, Ms. Shekhawat. Ok let's cut the last condition. We give you 3 months, i.e; 90 days... and you have to earn 3 lac in that period. Those earnings will be donated to our trust for orphans. But let me warn u, passion is not just a word, it's a feeling. Hence, no cheating. We would verify your earnings after that period.

D3 team thought for a while then taani said----

Taani - we accept ur condition sir. And trust us on this, we will use this chance wisely.
Trustee 2 - I trust u guys. So I hope u won't break it.Taani - u have our word sir.

Here I end this chapter guys. Hope you all like it.
