The College Romance

• Part 43 •

The next day marked the first assembly of the semester. Everyone had gathered to the main auditorium.

"Good Morning again students." Rita Gupta stated, "welcome back."
Everyone clapped and were all seated in to hear the next lines.
"As you are aware, this semester means a lot of things, a semester of change: you have your final exams, you will have your internships. Rest assured Bounrebrooke will take care of all your internships. For those interested, please send your CVs to Mr Das, who will check them for you. Lastly, we expect tolerance and good behaviour. Over the holidays we have heard news of illegal parties being taking place in the grounds, please come clean or there will be severe consequences. That's all. Thank you."

Riya watched as her mother spoke.
She was behind those parties.
She knew she was screwed.

But before they could leave the stage, Sunil and Shambhavi Roy along with Nayantika and Bishwas Roy had come on the stage.
"Please stay seated, we want to share something." Sunil Roy said.
Everyone did so and he continued, "Ms Rita just spoke about illegal activities. It seems rather odd, Ms, that you speak about them when most of the cases are coming from you."

Everyone gasped.

"What are you saying Mr Sunil?"
"Students, please look at the screens. I am aware that a lot of our less financially privileged students have been facing a lot of troubles due to Ms Riya - it's all caught on camera."

Riya's face went red in embarrassment.
"Students. We are here to hear your pleas and
your requests. We are very aware that Riya has been using her name to ridicule and move people out of her way. We won't stand for it. We apologize for finding out later, but now that we do, we're going to do our best to make it right."
"Ms Rita Gupta, you are officially fired as the chancellor of Bournebrooke. You will be replaced by Ms DasGupta, our previous chancellor who had retired due to her childbirth."

Riya looked in horror.
She realised that it was not a joke, messing with the Roys. She watched her Mom face the biggest embarrassment of their life and she was not going to stand for it.

She walked up the stage and clapped, "Wow! very very good Mr Roy."
"Riya stop." Rita Gupta said, but ignored.
"Amazing decision. Fire my mom because your son wants to persue his relationship with that low middle class girl, who isn't even here."

Everyone gasped.

"What are you trying to say?" Gautam Roy entered from the side,
"Don't act like you don't know that your brother has fallen for some gold digger who is using her looks to get Mayukh - the rich guy."

Aisha and Krutika, who were present, watched in horror as their friend was being addressed.
"Should we tell Nikita?"
"No. She's asleep and don't wake her up for this."
"Where is Mayukh?"
"I'm trying to call him he isn't answering."

"I don't understand what my brother's feelings and his personal life has to do with any of this. You, however, can be charged for invading his personal life and publicizing it here."
"Charge me all you want, but you know the truth. Aunty was also against this match, she wanted Mayukh to be with me."
"On the contrary Riya." Shambhavi said, "My son made it very clear he doesn't want to persue anything with you. It was your mom who was keen on getting you in my family, she was the one who suggested marriage? At the age of 21? She was the one who told you to peruse him."
"I..." Rita said.
"So what if she did? I'm sure Nikita's mother is saying the same thing to her." Riya scoffed.
"I will not stand for you taking her name in front of everyone." Gautam said.
"You will not stand for anything I do." Riya scoffed, "Do you even know your brother?"
"Very well."
"Where is he then? Let's hear from him."
"Where he is, is none of your business."

"I'm right here." Mayukh's voice said.
Everyone turned to him.

He walked on stage and put on a mic, "Thanks for setting the environment Riya. This makes everything much easier for me. Guys I want you all to watch this video."

He played the video of Riya calling Nikita a slut out loud. Everyone watched in horror as they watched the multiple clips of Nikita being verbally and emotionally manipulated and abused by Riya. Riya's face went flat.

How did he get those videos?. I had them deleted. She thought.

"I... how did you...." She stammered.
"How did I get these videos when you had paid the people to delete them? Right?" Mayukh chuckled, "here is the thing, not everyone works for money. Some people work for loyalty and what's right, so the ones you paid work for me. They sent me the videos, but hey, thank you for giving them the payment of their work!"

Everyone cheered and clapped.

"Mayukh. How dare you?" She threatened.
"Trust me. You don't wanna know. Now, I think that you should apologize publicly to all those whose chances you have robbed, to all those who you have bullied and all the people who have left the university because of you."
"Never." She said and got off and the stage and walked off.
"Okay then! Don't blame me for what comes next!" Mayukh yelled through the mic.

Riya ignored and walked off, her mom running behind her. They both got in the car and ran home while cursing Mayukh and his family.

Meanwhile Mayukh addressed everyone, "Hi guys, what you heard from Riya about Nikita is true. Except her being a gold digger. She is the best person you all can be around and I'm not just saying this because I want to, but because I have sat with her and experienced it. She isn't here right now because Riya got her kicked out of the university to another event. When she's back, please be normal, don't let her get aware of all this that happened - she hates all this."
Everyone nodded and clapped.
"That's all, you guys can go chill now! Thank you!"

Everyone dispersed, Aisha and Krutika joined Mayukh and his family on stage.
"That was great what you did there." Aisha said.
"Yeah, she'll love it."
"But don't tell her anything." Mayukh said.
"Why not?"
"I want her to feel the change on her own when she comes back to India."
"Sure, she'll ask about it though."
"Just say Riya got what she deserved."
