Viren entered in his cabin. All Aman, niharika and rishabh were chit chatting and cracking jokes.
Viren clear his throat. All alerted.
Viren: let's start then.
Viren point niharika: you stand up .
Niharika stand.
Viren: come here.
Niharika go near him..Viren hand her marker and take a chair and sit there.
Viren: you all just observe how professional presentation represented. So today each one of you have to give presentation on one topic which you learnt since last couple of days.
Viren knew. Niharika having really impressive communication skills so he begin with her so that rest can get time to prepare.
Niharika become confused about a topic so she said: sir if you don't mind can I get some time to remember points.
Viren : sure you all have 10 min think about a topic and make short points of them.
Both Aman and niharika thinking and writing their points.ris is all silent as he is having so less confidence to talk in front of others.
After 10 min, viren: haan ji, kon aa rha hai ab phle.
All silent. So Aman took initiative: Sir aap hi bta dijiye.
Viren: tu hi aaja
Aman stand and start explaining topics. Although He is presenting correctly but not the way viren's want that make Viren angry.
Viren shout: Stop.
Aman stop.
Viren: is this the way you learn in OD. Pathetic....ye sikha hai ek saal ki internship mein tune...
Aman silently look at him. Ris become more nervous now.
Viren: stand there.
Aman stand a bit side from board.
Viren to niharika: you start yours
Niharika in full fledged mode start her presentation and she is really impressive. Aman is also observing each gesture of her.
Niharika concluded her presentation. Viren smile and clapped for her.
Viren: very well done...you never disappoint me.
Niharika smile.
Viren then look at Aman: I hope you learnt something now.
Aman nod.
Viren: go then start yours
Aman start his presentation by keeping all the mistakes he did earlier. He is doing great now.
After his presentation, viren: good, nice one have a seat.
Ris knew his number just came. He become all nervous now because he never match Aman and niharika level. He just lower his gaze.
Viren looked at him. Both Aman and niharika also looking at him.
Viren: Rishabh.
Ris look at him.
Viren: stand up and take your position.
Ris stand nervously (still looking down) and go near board.
Viren knew ris is silent person and he don't have much practice on this.so he said: calm down, they are your friends around don't be nervous...jo bhi aata hai start on it.
Aman also try to cheer him: haan Bhai...you can do it. And clapped for him.
Niharika smile.
Ris still stand there like a statute.
After few seconds Viren again try to cheer him up: okay, circular class ka koi topic prepare nhi hai to ab tak ke syllabus se koi bhi explain kr de
Aman and niharika also start suggesting him some topics but he stand there like as statue.
Viren anger start raising after each passing minute. Aman knew well what is going to be soon.
Viren(a bit louder): I am giving you 5 min...start writing on the board...
Aman and niharika become silent.
Viren got a call. He stood up and go out of cabin.
Meanwhile Aman: yaar koi bhi topic bta de... business law bta de bss diagram bnana hai mein btata hu structure...do line mein explain kr dena
But ris still standing like he become freeze.
Niharika: risabh diagram hi draw kr do atleast....
But no response.
This time both his friends also become angry by his attitude.
Viren entered and look at th blank board then ris.
He took the marker from his hand and SLAP him right across his face.
Other lower there gaze.
Viren hold his arm and asked: problem kya hai teri....jo insaan itne dino se tujhe sikha rha hai....jo log tere friends hai unke aage ek simple se topic tu explain nhi kr paa rha....how will you face real crowd.
Ris still stand there without looking anyone.
Viren: you know what I am done for today...kal apne apne assignments submit kr dena....class is over now
Saying this he left from there.
Aman niharika look at each other. Niharika eyed him to talk to ris atleast. Aman nod so niharika also left.
Aman: rishabh
Ris just took his bag and about to leave.
Aman: yaar baat to sun le.
Ris stop.
Aman: I know yha thoda pressurized mahol hai...sometimes I also felt it. But thoda efforts to dena hota hai hrr chiz mein...tu bolta hai viren sir always rude with you only but trust me aaj Tera tarika bhut galat tha...he is trying to encourage you but tune itna sa bhi effort dena try nhi kiya....
Ris in heavy tone: efforts krke bhi to yhi hota
Aman: At last jo bhi hota...maybe sir ko tere presentation achi nhi lgti...maybe he will scold you like he did with me but isme kya unka koi benefit hai...nhi na...agr koi galti point out krra hai to vo tujhe nicha nhi dikha rha...tujhe sudhaar rha hai.
Ris is silent.
Aman: mein bss yhi khunga try to open with him...mne bhi past mein bhut galti ki hai but he rectified them and try with me to solve them...he is your mentor...kuch nhi samjh aa rha...work stress hai tell him...he will teach you how to handle it...asse chup rhega hrr baar to ve yhi samjhenge ki tu sirf excuse de rha hai...sochna mere baato ko
Saying this Aman also left. Ris go to his room and thinking Aman's word.
He got call from sanjana
Sanju: hey, phuch gye
Ris: haan abhi aaya
Sanju: Acha mne assignment send kr diya please kr laana...kal deadline hai ....vrna jiju fir daatenge
Ris: okay
Ris then go near his desk and look all his pending work unfortunately He have two pending assignments of monthly class plus for circular class also he needs to submit it tomorrow. He then look at watch its about to 7 he have evening class as well.
He knows very well if won't able to submit them in tomorrow class viren won't leave him. Aman's words roaming in his head.
He go to study desk. Viren also sit there.
Viren start explaining him one topic. After one hour of study session,
Viren: Solve these entries till next class.
Viren was about to go.
Ris with a lot of courage: Sir
Viren stopped:yess
Ris: Sir vo kal monthly class assignment submit krna hai and circular class ka bhi
Viren: So
Ris in low voice: complete nhi hue.
Viren: kya nhi hue
Ris: com... complete nhi hai mere...
Viren stare him angerly...
Ris lower his gaze: can I submit them day after today.
Viren sarcastically: I guess, you are same student as other without any special privilege... correct me if I am wrong...
Ris become silent.
Viren can give him time if the work is related to him only,but he is taking class of whole batch and if he give time to ris only that become partiality.

Viren after thinking for a while: Do one thing, it's about 8:30..start doing all your pending work and show me in the morning before going university....you have while night to complete...kuch kr mat kr...kse bhi complete kr assignments...mujhe morning jaane se phle saare assignments yhi desk pr check kra kr jayega...and I want them here else I won't mind to raise my hand in morning...trust me
Ris shocked.
Viren while standing: Clear?
Ris silent and about to cry as he thinking viren is punishing him and curse him to share his problem with him. On the other side viren did it because these assignments carry weightage marks and if ris won't submit them tomorrow he lost them.

Viren again lounder: clear
Ris nod and run to his room. Viren look at him but he can't do anything it's ris carelessness to keep work till last.
Ris thinking for Aman words: he can't help me in anything...inhe bss presaan krna hai mujhe ek din ka time nhi de skte... intentionally subh Tak ka time Diya pta hai nhi kr paunga fir vhi sab insult aur maarna....bhut bure insaan h ye
Ris after sometime calm himself and thinking to complete his work somehow. He called ritesh and Aman and asked them to send there assignments. He copied all of them with full dedication....it's almost 5 in the morning when he completed his work. He sleep for sometime.
In morning, ris hand over viren his assignments.
Viren checking them(knowing very well ris copied them):okay, go ready for class.
Ris take them and left to university without any word. Ris is now feeling that viren doing all this intentionally... His thinking of last two days hit differently. On the other hands viren just doing it for his betterment.
