Same day in college

After biding bye to Deetya Taksh went for the after event budget meeting.
Everything went smoothly until karan ahuja CR of taksh's class came up with so many objections and the errors in the budget.
The professor was very shocked as well as heated in anger and asked taksh for an explanation as he was the incharge of the finance department.
Taksh explained, "Sir the sudden change in the budget was due to the unplanned increment in the food items and the orders were made, when they arrived I had to pay them. Food committee was under karan, and his team members asked me to make the payment , analyzing the situation I had to do that so I did what was best at that moment."
Karan said, "So now you will decide what is best and what not ha? remember you might be very rich but you don't own this college and you have to go according to the college rules, right sir?".
Sir agreed with Karan and said,
"Right karan and I never expected this irresponsible behaviour from you taksh, I thought you are the most responsible and capable out of all of them but i was wrong."
Taksh replied "Sir just give me couple of hours and I'll give you account of all the increased budget and everything will be cleared."
Karan interrupted " So now we all have to wait for Mr.Taksh prajapati sir even after college hours just so that he can prove his innocence?"

Taksh was boiling in the anger at that moment,he not only handled the mess created by karan's team without asking for the credit but also had to face all this false allegations. "First of all you are no one to speak in between,it was your team who couldn't complete their task properly and now you are asking me to prove my innocence like seriously Karan! You are no one to doubt my objective"
Karan replied, "you should have thought this before making all this mess and don't blame my team they did the best they could do".
Taksh knew if he waited any longer he would end up breaking karan's face so he controlled his anger and said " Sir I'll be right back and will submit you the accounts".
Sir nodded and taksh gave a sharp look to karan and left.

After 2 hours everyone met again at the library for the further discussion and just as taksh said he gave all the account and presented one of the member from karan's team who explained everyone that there was really a sudden increment in the number of food items and they did informed it to karan but he didn't opened their messages nor did he received their calls so they had to approach taksh for the same. Ultimately karan was proven guilty for the misunderstanding and taksh was proven right.
Sir said "I am sorry taksh I should have trusted you! and karan you will have to pay the increased amount in the budget to taksh as he had to pay it at last moment from his own money to handle the situation."
Taksh interrupted "No need sir, I don't want that money back you can have it for the college welfare funds."

The meeting ended but taksh can't stop thinking about all the disrespect he had to face because of karan and was very disturbed. This wasn't a small allegation it was a huge one but he tried to ignore it and went home as it was already too late.

Deetya was waiting in the parking for trisha as she went to classroom to grab her stuff.
There were many people in the parking that's when deetya saw someone coming towards her it was none other than parth he said,
"O dear deetya going home ha?  Come I'll drop you ".
deetya replied "Don't you have any self-respect? Just now I told you to stay away from me and again u are trying to come close to me!"
Parth said "Isn't that exactly what you want, me closer to you, talk to you, touch you" With that statement parth placed his hand on deetya's shoulder. Deetya couldn't hold on to her anger and gave a nice slap to parth making everyone in the parking look at them.
Deetya stated, "Don't you ever try to touch me again, mein woh purani deetya nhi hu jo tumse pyaar karti thi woh bahot pehle mar chuki hai. yeh wali deetya Khurrana khud ki ijjat karvana bhi janti hai aur karna bhi so stay away!"

Trisha came running towards deetya and said " Deetya kya hua isne kuch kiya toh nhi? "
Deetya replied "Nhi Meine isse iski jagah dikha di".
parth was burning in angar and said while greeting his teeth "Iska badla mein zaroor lunga ".
Deetya said "Just get lost aur apni shakal mat dikhana".
Parth went away and deetya collapsed in trisha's  Arms. Trisha hugged her and tried consoling her that's when aarav saw them and he asked trisha about what happen. To which trisha said " I don't know I just saw dee slapped parth".
Aarav asked "Deetya kya hua batao mujhe". Deetya in a very week voice said between her cries "He tried to touch me ".
As soon as aarav heard that statement he was about to go and beat the shit out of parth but deetya held his wrist and stopped him by saying "Please aarav aaj ke liye bohot ho gaya please kuch mat karo".
Just for deetya aarav stopped. Aarav  said " I'll drop both of you home" and they all went off.

It was almost 9.30 pm when Aarav called Trisha to ask about deetya's well-being as he knew Trisha was staying with deetya at her home tonight. Aarav said " Hiii, deetya thik hai aab? ".
trisha replied "Ha thik hai bohot overthink kar rahi thi par ab thik hai". aarav said, " Today was really a tough day for both deetya as well as taksh".
Trisha asked " Kyu bhai ko kya hua?" aarav told trisha about everything that happened today in the meeting. Trisha said " Par karan hamara accha dost hai woh aise kaise kar sakta hai, woh aisa nhi kar sakta, karan accha ladka hai". Aarav didn't like Trisha praising karan due to many reasons but at that moment he decided to be calm with her.
Aarav said, "Just because you don't know how people really are you can't judge them and make your own assumptions about them Trisha, kuch batein sabko pata nhi hoti par uska yeh matlab nhi ki woh sach nhi hoti". Aarav was not only talking about karan but he had a very deep hidden meaning in his words.
Trisha stated "Waise sahi hai jaisa dikhta hai waisa hota nhi hai jaise tum mujhe bahot khadus lage the par abb... ".
Aarav asked instantly "Ab? Ab kya?" Trisha replied  "ab lagta hai tum utne bure bhi nhi ho".  Aarav said,
"Yeh complement tha ya sarcasm".
trisha replied "Tumhe jo accha lage". Aarav said "Toh mein complement samajh lunga".
Trisha suddenly said , "Accha suno!". Aarav replied ,"sunao tumhari hi suun raha hun!" These words did something to trisha's heart but she stayed calm and said, "Aaj jo dee ke saath hua woh aur jo taksh ke saath hua woh hum un dono ko nhi bataye yeh behetar hoga nhi toh woh bahot tension lenge".
Aarav agreed, "Sahi kaha nhi batayenga".
Trisha said "Accha chalo late ho gaya hai tum bhi so jao ok, bye good night." Aarav replied " Good night"

Next day in the college

Heer and her bestfriend sara were sitting in the canteen, that's when heer saw priyansh's story it was the group photo from the traditional day in which deetya and taksh were standing side by side and Trisha beside deetya then Aarav beside Trisha then priyansh but the twist was trisha looking at aarav and not at the camera and priyansha not only posted the story but also wrote underneath,
"# new couple in the town "
Which was basically about taksh and deetya but looked like it was for aarav and Trisha.
Heer was boiling in angar and showed the picture to sara. Sara was shocked but explained it to Heer and said " Look I don't think so ki aisa kuch hoga and even if hai toh it's none of your concern Heer just get over it".
Heer replied " Sara are you being for real how am I suppose to get over aarav, I love him and he is all I ever wanted".
Sara said "And he doesn't wants you and I don't want to say this but you lost him because of your own mistakes but trust me everything happens for good".
Heer said  "Oh plz don't start all of this again I said I am sorry for what ever happened,what else does he wants me to do ha?"
Sara replied "Heer you broke his trust and it is a big deal".
Heer " You are my bestfriend  and you should be on my side ok, and about this photo I'll get all my answers from aarav himself ".

To be continued.
