The day Taran met the Dean

"But why can't I access my score analysis sir?"

"You were one of the top scorer Taran. Be happy about it. Are you that arrogant that you are going to this length for just two extra marks." The Dean said dismissingly.

"It's not arrogance. Just my self evaluation. I want to see where my scores were cut and why. Pratichi's project was a traditional topic. Mine was of current case. Technically I should have gotten extra points for that. But my points were cut. I simply want to make sure why."

"Ajkal ke jiddi bache. Baitho. .. sit. Take a look at this." He threw a letter. Taran read it.

"Oxford gave both of us exact same scores. What's this got to do with the project?"

"What is your back up college?"

"Harvard."

"Pratichi's back up is Princeton."

"Because that's where a strong psychology program is."

"I don't care about it. I want 2 of my top students in two of the best universities. If you don't get to Oxford you will get to Harvard. That's great. But if she doesn't then she would get into Princeton."

"What's that got to do with me?"

"More offer you are from scholarship so people already know that you are brilliant. she is a donation student so if she got into Oxford it will look like more of an achievement then you do. and you are already going to Harvard" the Dean said almost like he couldn't hear what Taran just said.

"So you are deliberately giving me low scores, so that in finals Pratichi's marks is better than mine?"

"Think about it son. It's a win for both of you."

A deep dive into Dean's background and college website, he understood everything. For a week he was preparing for something he didn't even meet Ruhani. Suddenly one day he came to her apartment. He explained everything to her when they were sitting on her terrace.

"So what do you wanna do? Police?"

"Police can't do anything. And even if they can, if we complain Dean will have time to make arrangements and hide everything. I want the police to come suddenly. Without warning. Once any kind of investigation has started the Dean can't tamper with the evidences in college website." Taran said.

"So what do you wanna do?" Ruhani asked fearing the answer itself. Taran smiled at her.

"You know my liver failure is terminal. I think, it's time to put my death to a good use."

"What the fuck are you talking, you jerk." Ruhani stood up yelling.

"I have tested for your heart doner Ruhi, I'm a match. I signed the contract after my nature or accidental death my heart will be given to you." Taran continued. Still smiling. Ruhani fall on the couch covering her face crying. She was shaking her head no with his evey word. Ruhani hold his face, still crying.
