His Chaste Bird

7.💛

Maahira was writing the report on paper , when she felt something on her waist . Her looked there but there was nothing. She again engaged herself in writing thinking that it must be her misconception but after few minutes she again felt something on her waist. This time it lingered for few seconds. She froze at place , an ugly disgusting feeling enveloped her heart. She again turned and saw Kushal looking her with an unsettling look on his face. When she turned , he immediately looked down in book but she understood. She took a breath and again started writing in order to catch him red-handed. Kushal looked her and again his hand found the way to her but before he could touch her , Maahira stopped his hand in middle. She looked him with fierce eyes and he gulped in fear. He didn't know what to do now ?

She left his hand and slapped him so hard that he fell off the chair. Hearing this sound , everyone stood up from there place. There gaze fell on Kushal who was lying on floor , holding his one cheek. While Maahira was looking him angrily , Maithili walked towards her asked , "Maahi!! What happened ? Did he.." Kushal interrupted her , "How dare you!! You!!" Before he could say more , Armaan grabbed him from collar and asked , "Low your volume!! Maahira you tell us , what he did ?".

She spoke angrily , "He tried to harrass me. He touched me inappropriately." As soon as those words left her mouth. Armaan started dragging him out of the room. His veins were filled with anger. Everyone followed him to the principal office.

After lots of argument, they decided to check the CCTV camera , which clearly showed how he behaved with her. Everyone was standing outside the office , only Maahira , Kushal and his parents were inside with Principal and teachers. Miss Radha also supported Maahira and some students too spoke against him and chose to speak for Maahira. Atlast , his parents also scolded him and he was suspended from school out of punishment. Because the school authorities were much strict about these things especially. After everything , they all went back to hostels. In evening , Maahira went to call her Grandmother with Maithili. Armaan also came there to call her mother. Both were talking to their family in a parallel booth. After , talking Armaan came out of the booth and saw Maahira.

She simply smiled and he asked , "Are you feeling better now ?" And she nodded. He chuckled and said , "I think when someone is talking to you , you should reply with words instead of nodding everytime like animals." He said half jokingly but she puffed her cheeks and spoke , "You called me animal. Have you looked your face in mirror , you yourself looks like a horse." He laughed at her words and she looked him wide eyes. Both walked together walking in the corridor, and she asked amusingly , "I called you horse and you are laughing ?" He understood her confusion and replied , "You know my Maa says that it is easy to laugh on others but it is a challenge to laugh on yourself with others and I love challenges."

She gave him a impress look saying , "Wow !! Your Maa has so good thoughts." He replied , "Every mother does have. Tumhari Maa bhi aisi hi hongi." He spoke casually but it deepened her wound , she stopped in middle. When he realised that she is not walking more and he asked her , "Hey , what happened? Don't you have to go ?" She avoided an eye contact and spoke , "Exactly !! I have to go. My turn has came. Bye." She left hurriedly and joined Maithili who was waiting for her near a pillar. He just looked her in confusion and thought , 'Now what has happened to her ?' But why it is affecting to him ? He shook the thought and walked towards his hostel.

Next day...

It was a Sunday and tomorrow was their project submission as Kushal was suspended so Maahira has to submit the project alone. She and Maithili were completing her project while Aarohi had went to her house for today. Raghav and Neil had also came to Raghav's house with Rachit, Vidhi and Vanya. Neil's sister Shrishti too joined them. Divya and Raman were very much happy to see all the children after a long time. They all were sitting in hall , when Divya asked from Shrishti , "Shrishti beta , your job is also going well. So , have you thought anything about marriage ?" Shrishti was simple and responsible girl with dusky complextion. She never thought about marriage and anything because her first priority was her brothers she wants to secure their future first. She didn't want to get married now because God knows what kind of In-laws will she get ? Will they allow her to do her job even after marriage ? Will they allow her to give her money to her brothers ? And most importantly will they expect her with her dusky complextion ?
