under the wraps

his whole family is same

"How can you allow someone as lowly as her in such a well-reputed school"

The old ag was shouting who I suppose was the grandfather of a Rudra, and teacher and principal were listening to every inch of shit he was spouting keeping their head low as if he was their superior and they have done something wrong by accepting a person like mine in their school.

"sir but"

"but what" he shouted again not letting the teacher complete his sentence

Rudra was sitting with his mouth zipped and shifting his gaze like a pendulum from teacher to his grandfather from time to time, I was trying to find any ounce of shame, guilt in his eyes but that lenses never turned towards me only cowards do that, a sarcastic smile formed on face thinking about that

"the father is a thief, and the daughter is a bully, did you look at Rudra's face, see how badly she punched him, the exams are around the corner who will take responsibility if something will happen to him."

"Sir we are trying to figure out the situation, we still have not come to any conclusion "

The teacher was trying to explain him but he rolled his eyes as if he was not sitting in the principal's office but in his luxury cabin in his personal office

Now I know after whom Rudra take that must be this old hag, the whole blood is spoiled

"sir"

I turned my head to look at the owner of the soft voice to only find my grandmother at the door, I get up from my seat when she gestures me to keep sitting there

"so she is this little brat's guardian"

He shouted again, he really has no manners I thought to myself

"Vera, Rudra you can go outside" .....teacher instructed us

And I had to leave with him from a principal's office he still avoid eye contact and I avoid my desire to beat him and his grandfather again, his face was really swollen I must hit him very hard

And then after a few minutes, they called me and Prachi again

" I am asking you Prachi, tell me did vera really hit Rudra", principal questioned her, his voice echoing in the room where only we three were standing

She didn't say anything

" I am asking you again, did she hit him"

" yes sir" she answered this time

" do you know why?"

" I don't know she just come out of nowhere and start hitting him without any reason when I questioned her for his action she threatened me to hit me too"

" ok, you can leave, thanks for your statement"

And she left, my eyes become teary again but I didn't cry

" vera we got no choice but to expel you from school owing to your misbehavior you bully someone you hit them , we can't ignore this behavior"

"but sir"

'please leave"

Third person's pov

"But sir she is a bright student and exams are around the corner, school teacher tried to reconcile principal after vera left, " you only cared about her future, not yours and mine this school run on his donation and his friends you know what will happen if they stop doing that stop your stubbornness and leave her on her situation "

Vera's pov

I came out of the principal's office and my grandmother start starring at me blankly trying to find out what happened inside

" kya hua"

" kuch nhi ap chalo yahan se"

I replied to her and start dragging her from school , I held her arm and start dragging her from school , I passed my class and attract most gazes however the only person who didn't looked at me was rudra

"coward" I muttered to myself

" vera hua kya hai , kya kha hai unhone"

She freed her hand from me as soon as we reached our house,

" Kuch nhi"

" idhr Dekho meri trf"

She again asked, I looked at her and then hug her, all my tears again find their way out of my eyes

I didn't say anything I just cried holding her tightly, she stand like that for a few minutes then start patting my back

" koi baat nhi, mai hu na tumhare sath , kuch nhi hota, tum tension mt lo "

She just said that nothing less nothing more

That was the 10th day from that incident I was doing household chores when someone knock our door on opening it found my class in charge standing their

" sir app"

" hm mujhe tumhari grandmother se kuch bat krni hai"

And then they both talked about something I don't know what , she didn't let me hear the conversation and the next day she get dressed up

" where are you going", I questioned her seeing her leaving the house

" Kahin nhi"

" badi maa kahan jare ho ap" I asked her again

" shmsher singh ke ghar"

"rudra ke dada ke pass, pr kyu"

" kyuki ek whi mahi jo tumhe school mai vapis dalwa skte hai, mai unse mafi mangne jari hu"

" lekin dadi kyu , mene kuch glt nhi kiya hai"

She come near me and pat my head and said stuking her tearful eyes on me

" glt tumne nhi mene kia hai vera, glti meri hai ki mene tumhare bap ko peda kia ki mai ek achi maa nhi ban payi , or tumhe ye sb jhelna pd rha hai , meri izzat tumhare future se zyada zarruri nhi hai beta"

"pr badi maa"

" bs ek bar meri baat maan lo"

" thik hai mai bhi apke sath chlungi"

I dropped my stubbornness again and found myself standing in that jerkish face again that I saw in the morning , my grandmother was standing in same position like teacher and principle was standing in front of him, the whole scenario was making me feel disgusted but I was helpless

how badly I wish that all this was just a nightmare
