He Hates Me Or Does He?

PART 36: BEGINNING OF THE DREAD

I woke up feeling tired today. Maybe I was thinking too much last night about the current situation in place. Anyways, I don't have time to think about bad stuff. I am already back on track after so long and this year I really feel that I might crack this exam. I get ready for my study sessions.

After having a light meal, I continue with my studies. I am having light meals these days since I've started gaining some weight again and I don't want to continue it any further. The long sitting hours and the non homemade food might be the reason so I'll join the gym nearby too maybe if the situations will allow me to.

As soon as I complete practicing the MCQs of Monetary policy, someone knocks on the gate loudly. I worry that it might be Aadarsh wanting to hurt me after what he saw yesterday. I open the gate but to my surprise it's Abhi sir.
He's holding some files in his hand and has tense lines on his forehead. He might be worried about the workload of public library due to increasing number of people.

" Please come to the library with me." He says desperately.
" What happened? Let me change." I say. I am literally in a simple top and shorts.
" There's no time for that. Get changed fast if you want." He says fastly. I am worried now. I change into a fitted jeans which has by the way become a bit tight now and a fullsleeve red shirt. We hurry to the library.
" What's the matter you can tell me that atleast?" I say while trying to catch up with his pace.
" You have done some sort of scam, I don't know. Just come." He says while hurrying even more. What the fuck? What did I do?

As I reach the library, I see Aadarsh standing in front of the table folding his hands silently and Vihaan going through some papers and two desktops in front. Ahana is standing quietly beside Vihaan going through something on her phone.
" Hello Sir." I say worried.
" What did you do with the additional funds that you withdrew from the govt fund paid to our NGO?" asks Aadarsh and not Vihaan. I am so worried right now.

" What additional funds? I was given only 2 lakhs rupees and that too under Ahana's lead." I say trying to find an assuring look from Ahana but no response.

" Not that." Says Vihaan finally looking over at me. " The one where you withdrew additional funds from the principal claiming to spend it on fresher items for the children. " He says calmly.

Oh that. " Oh Yea it was 50k rs but I consulted with Ahana about that too sir." I say not losing my calm either.

" Not 50k but 5 lakhs." Says Ahana.

What the actual fuck? " No ma'am that's absolutely not true. I even signed the cash withdrawal form and gave it to the principal. You can check it if you want." I say with a heavy chest.

" Is this the one that you're talking about." says Vihaan sliding over the cheque quietly.

It's the same cheque and form and my same signature is there as well. " But I was given cash. Just 50k from which only 3k were left with me and Ahana offered it to keep with me only." I say panicking.

" Oh you mean 4 lakh 50k" says Aadarsh wickedly.

" What? No What will I do with that much cash?" I say calming myself down.

" These are your signatures right." asks Vihaan.

" Yea they are but they look forged. I remember signing on the one with 50k amount only. " I say.

" Oh come on Anika. Just come on. Why will you lie this much? I know why you must have done this. With a vigilance being set up against your father and your frustration of not getting a job, everything leads to this somewhere or the other. Also, how are you planning to go to Bali after two months with your Delhi friends?" Aadarsh says loudly making the whole library hear.
