Young & Heartbroken (Arshi FF)

5 ~ Mommy Dearest or not?

FLASHBACK CONTINUES

Though their Throat infection drama continued for next few classes. She just simply writes down the lecture and avoid looking at him. Until one day he asked khushi to stay after the class.

Khushi stood before his desk boringly as everyone left the classroom and waited for him to start speaking.

He arranged his stuff then concentrated on her. "What's your problem, Ms Gupta?"

Khushi mentally counted 123456... as the cuss words are already in her mouth which can explode in any moment.

"You're not a kid anymore yet you have zero mannerism in comparison to a kid. You must be a brat in your house not here. Everyone is equal in this class hence I expect you to behave well from next class, understood? ".

Khushi looked at him as soon as he completed his sentence. Whatever he said to her has stabbed her like never before as she never heard such hard words from anyone. She may not have received enough pampering but her filthy rich father's status has always saved her from such harsh comments.

"I H.A.T.E you....". Khushi said gritting her teeth as her eyes become moistened due to the insult. Without saying anything further she rushed out of her classroom.

******************

"what's the issue with Khushi Gupta? This isn't the first time Mr Gupta has mentioned about it and he's a member of board of trustees. I hope you're getting the hints". The chairman of dept tiredly asked him.

"Absolutely Sir. But these issues don't bother me. I'm sure I will get better options even if I don't continue here".

"Don't say like that. I'm just saying don't bother khushi. Leave her in her own way and as a student she is very bright. She's a topper and it's not because of Her father's influence. Though I agree she has gotten an attitude. But I don't think we can blame her for it. It's parents responsibility to instill good upbringings".

"It's in the veins ". He let out a sarcastic smile. "Don't worry Sir I will look into this. Arnav Singh Raizada knows how to tackle such brats".

Arnav Singh Raizada is a professor by choice. So he doesn't bother about buttering people for his benefits. It's his passion to be a teacher and he's living it. Besides, he has enough qualifications to get better job offers if he has to leave the college just because he has not let a brat rule him. He already got a picture of her indicipline on the very first day when Khushi left the car in middle of a road without parking. Then her I don't give a damn to classroom ethics attitude gave him enough exposure to her well groomed personality. Certainly she's not the one at fault. It's her surroundings which made her like this. Who else can know this better than him.

************************

Next class they had a test whose numbers will be counted in finals. Hence, unwillingly khushi had to attend the class. Arnav has already entered the class and talking about something when Khushi deliberately lowered herself on her desk and started sipping lemon crushers making enough noise to distract Arnav.

"Ms Gupta, if you're done with your drink then can you share your ideas about Prospect/loss-Aversion theory?" Arnav asked in a no nonsense tone.

One side students aren't understanding the theory even after explaining again and again and there she's back with her childish prank.

Clearing her throat, khushi slowly rose her head from her desk and said feigning innocence. "Isn't it your job to explain rather than asking from students?"
