"Only God knows what blender you have done in your papers. You and your arrogance attitude I am just fed up with your actions Vikram. Better never bring humiliation to me and your dad with your responsible behaviour. Mind it forever."
Yelled and agitated mom Haritha who happen to be the professor in the same university where her son studies.
Vikram topped in the entrance exam. Still his parents keeps on worrying about his studies.It's all because of his silent nature and his 'I don't care' attitude which irks everyone.
Vikram usually doesn't study much,but no one can beat his concentration in studies. He is an ambitious IITian.
Around 9 in the morning the management put a hold to everyone's wait. As they put the first semester marks list along with rankings in the college notice board. As usual everything happened. A few number of students kept on squealing in excitement mostly girls;for getting passes in the subjects.
'I didn't study well, I don't know how did I get passes but it's all because of God' was the slogan of many girls who easily won't accept the fact that,they do study secretly and put the whole credit on God in an attempt to make their friends trust.
Soon their eyes shifted to see that top ranker's name due to curiosity and it read,
1 Vikram Adithya 99%

Followed by that they started looking for Vikram in order to watch his reaction.some of them even started gossiping saying, it's all because of his mom's influence.That's why he topped in the exam,and they even wanted to complain it to the Management.
Professor Haritha, headed towards the notice board.Her face is void of emotions yet nobody knows how hell tensed she is.
Her eyes wished everyone who wished her morning,and soon shifted to the list.
Her index finger traced the list from the bottom to top.As all the while she was thinking he would failed.Her eyes narrowed when she didn't spot his name in the fail order.
She even wondered whether he didn't attend the exam.The thought itself seethed her.Her eyes got widened when she spot the topper's name.How is this even possible,I never show him with books for more than an hour,she muttered to herself.
She then wished the other students with a warming heart and encouraging them to achieve more,and started leaving.
All she knows that,he wouldn't even spare a glance at the notice board.
Then her eyes fell the retreating figure of her son.He walked passed the compound without glancing at any.He was all sweaty, with hair messed up,and drinking water from the bottle he was carrying.
Not only his mom,but everyone got surprised watching his care 'less' behaviour.
He left from there even before his mom reach him.
Reaching home he took a quick shower and then fell on his bed falling asleep,only after locking the door from inside.
It was dinner time.He spent the whole day in his room, like he always does.
Soon his younger sister Priya knocked on his door.Opening the door,he gestured her what.Followed by that he got a smack from a raging Priya.
"You stupid monkey,why the hell did you smack me now?"whined him like a small boy.Only she can make him feel better in the so called workaholic ambitious family.
"Dare you gesture and order me as if I am your servant.For hell sake it's dinner time.Are you coming down or should I use my ways."She faked threatening.
"As you said ma'am." he bowed a little and smacked her head messing it up.
"You....,Can't you see that I have done a new hairstyle.For me it took two hours."she said adjusting her hair.
"A monkey is always a monkey." Remarked Vikram chuckling and both descended through the stairs bickering,till he spot everybody present in the dining hall.Their eyes never left him,to which he didn't react.Then he sat at the corner seat almost away from everyone and started serving himself.
His mom walked towards him and begun caressing his hair kissing his forehead.
"I am sorry beta, forgive mumma"Saying this she hugged Vikram who was sitting on the dinning chair.Soon it became a group hug as everyone present in the table hugged him, except the male servant.
"You people are chocking me."remarked Vikram which held a hidden meaning too.It was almost a hint.
"Only you are balance."said Vikram looking at the direction of their servant.
As if it was a big joke, everyone laughed at it, without knowing the hidden meaning.
"So, what's the percentage Mr.Topper?"asked his elder brother while munching his meals.
"99" muttered Vikram in a single word.
"Great.I didn't expect this Vikram."remarked his brother.Hearing this Vikram just hummed as a response.As he didn't wanted to talk further.
"Exactly you won't. expect it and accept the fact.Because my bhaiyya, doesn't study much for more than two or three hours unlike bookworm people who even carry books to the bathroom.As if they are oxygen."remarked Priya hinting her elder brother.Hearing this her elder brother throwed a spoon at her playfully.
There started the Priya and her elder brother's silly fight.None noticed when Vikram finished his meals and left.
Coming back to his room he was about to close the door,he heard his father clearing his throat.Vikram looked up to meet his dad's eyes.
"Keep on shinning my champ.Always make me feel proud of you."said his dad patting his shoulder,to which he smiled a bit and nodded.His dad then left from there.
Vikram heaved a long sigh, rolling his eyes,and closed the door.He then fell asleep.
