Summer vacations were going to start and PTM was going to be held on Saturday. Rehan was thinking to hide the notice or block his teacher's phone number . He said to himself "I should block my teacher's phone number so that he couldn't even complain to maa" then he went to Kusum's room where she was having afternoon nap .
Rehan saw her secretly and said "this is the chance now come on Rehan beta , you can do it" and he secretly took her mobile and ran out of the room without making any noise.
He ran to Siya's room , opened it and said "ab hoga tera kaam tamam ujde chaman " ; then Siya entered the room and saw Rehan doing something. She asked "Rehan what are you doing here ?"
He got frightened and said "nothing didi I am only downloading new version of angry birds 3D"
She said "ok" and went out for work.
Rehan said "thank God bach gya " ; then he deleted and blocked his teacher's phone number.
After this task , he excitedly said "yes .... I did it..." and ran out of the room.
In the evening , his friends came daily to his home to play but that day they all were discussing on the serious topic. One of his friend said "oh I wish that we could have rented someone to become our fake guardian for a day"
"Right yarr"
Other child said in anger "my father is an engineer and earns much but he never gives me any money"
Rehan said "guys I will try to find a solution , you all just wait" .
After the dinner at night , when Siya was writing her new blogs then Rehan came to her with an ice- cream and said "Siya didi I have brought an ice-cream for you"
She smiled and said "thank you " but he hid it behind him and said "first you have to do my task"
"Which task ?"
He came closer to her and said "Siya didi you have to come to my school"
She became astonished and asked "why ?"
"To attend my parents meeting"
"So ask your mom.."
"No didi actually , my maths teacher will complain to maa"
"For what ?"
"Actually I haven't joined his private tuition classes despite so much pressure "
"Ok don't worry I will talk to auntie" Siya consoled him.In the morning Siya went to Kusum's room and said "auntie Rehan wants that I should attend his school PTM "
She became astonished on listening this and said "PTM ?"
"Yes why are so astonished auntie ?"
"Because Rehan hadn't told me anything about this" and she became angry as she was about to call him , Siya calmed her down and said "auntie he is a child don't scold him. I will go to attend his parents meeting" . Kusum agreed with her and allowed her to attend the school meeting.
Finally on Saturday ; Rehan and Siya went to the school to attend the meeting. Siya entered the class along with Rehan then she greeted his class teacher and asked "how is Rehan performing in his academics?"
She smiled and said "his marks are absolutely nice in all subjects , he is topper of his class but.."
"But what ..."
"He has scored low marks in maths"
Siya became astonished and said "ok so where can I meet his teacher "
She replied "in the staff room"
After this both headed towards the staff room , Siya came forward to greet him. His teacher complained about Rehan "he hasn't joined my tuition classes and always says that I don't have time"
Siya became angry and burst out on him "if child doesn't wants to attend the tuition classes so why are you pressuring him"
He angrily said "Ma'am just mind your language"
Siya stood up in anger and said "sir you just mind your language"
Then the principal entered the staff room and shouted "what is happening over here ? Why both of you are arguing"
Siya said "sir your teacher is pressuring my brother to attend his tuition classes although he is good in his academics"
After this Principal glared at the teacher and said "Mr Sharma what is this ? This is my final warning . After this I should never listen anything about this"When Siya and Rehan came out of the staff room , then the other guardians thanked her.
One of the mother said to her "thank you very much. Our financial conditions were not good"
Siya smiled and said "auntie you all should have already raised your voice against it"
One of the father said "beta we pray to Mahadev that may your children also follow your path" ; on listening this she became upset from inside then she went back home with Rehan.In the afternoon Rehan's friends came to thank Siya along with their parents. One of his friends said "didi you are great" then the other boy said "big salute to Siya didi" .
Advira asked her "Siya from where have you learnt to fight against these types of people ?"
She laughed and said "my parents are lawyer and they have taught me to fight against the injustice" then Sumitra called out everyone for lunch.
Siya said to herself sadly "but I couldn't fight for the justice for myself because of the promise given and to maintain the honor of the two families ".
