Before she could process what was happening or spout out an excuse. He asked her to answer the question which he has asked a few minutes back and she had no idea what the question was about.

He knew that she is clueless about it, as she is caught red handed sketching during a lecture. He still raised his brow in a challenging manner, daring her to make an excuse.

She took a quick glance around the hall and found every single eye turned towards them. She always hate it, whenever, she becomes the centre of attention. Right now it's not even positive attention. She took a little peek at Venya, hoping; she would help her out of this pickle. But, she found her wringing her hands together with a sorry look on her face, and then she knew, that there is, no hope for her, to save herself, from the devil breathing fire over her head. When she didn't reply back and looked back at him in the eye, he knew she wasn't going to answer or give him any excuse for her behaviour. She couldn't help but notice, that, God truly gifted this specimen, he got a straight pointed nose, high cheek bones, big almond shaped eyes, thick lashes, any girl would die for, perfect jaw line with firm pink lips, bottom one a bit fuller than the upper one. She was still keenly observing him. When his lips started moving, bringing her back from appreciating the God on his creation.
"Well! Miss I believe you are more busy in your own world. If you're not interested in this discussion, kindly leave the hall. I fully believe we should do what we like and clearly you don't like to participate in this discussion." He said coldly with authority ringing in his each and every syllable.

No one, in her entire existence, ever spoke to her, in such a manner. She knew, she wasn't interested in the lecture and was doing something which isn't allowed, during the discussions. But, it still didn't give him the right, to point her out like that, in front of the entire college. Students always do this kind of thing and every one simply ignores it. But not him.

She bowed her head down, picked up her things and muttered to him. "Gladly!"
But still, he made he feel small. Thanks to his giant height, compared, to her five feet four inch and his hard muscular body, wasn't helping her case either. She tried to give him a nudge with her shoulder while walking past him, but, it didn't affect the giant beast in the least.
By the time she exited the auditorium, her eyes have welled up with tears, due to sheer embarrassment, which she had to go through because of him.

She can't believe how someone can be such an attention seeker. He asked her to leave, just because, she didn't pay attention to his speech and this is not new, most of the guest lectures are like that, with students lost in their own world. The speaker comes and talks about something boring or one's in a blue moon about some interesting topic, asks some question and thanks everyone for their time.

She can bet her life; even this stupid, arrogant billionaire did the same, during his college time. She has never seen such a hypocrite person in her life and she was sure going to extract her revenge for this insult, one day. No one can insult Sankyukta Naina Rai like this, she vowed to herself.

With nothing else to do, she walked towards the parking lot and decided to finish her sketch there, as it was the most peaceful place in their campus and one of her favourite. A big Banyan tree; sounded by a raised platform for her to sit comfortably on.

She didn't know how much time has passed by since she's been lost in her sketching. She was jerked back to reality when all of a sudden; she heard Venya calling out her name. "Yukti!"

She turned around to find Venya running towards her. Venya is an inch or two taller than her and a perfect beauty with jet black eyes, thick wavy hair falling to her mid back, her lips were the epitome of pouty mouth. Venya reached near her and tried to halt herself to a stop before toppling over Sanyukta. She bends her back forward a little, supporting herself with hands on her thighs, just to get her breath under control. All this while Sanyukta was curiously looking behind her, to see what she was running from; before she could ask her Venya went straight into her well prepared speech.
"Yukti, I am so very sorry. I didn't know he'll do such a thing. I promise, from today on wards I'll never ask you to attend any of my guest lectures, seminars or anything else. I-" before could continue her tirade, Sanyukta started laughing out loudly at her. She knew that she can be scary, if someone crosses her. But what amused her the most, was, that she has never seen her most mature friend, to be so flustered.
"Hey! Calm down. I know it's not your fault. I am cool with you. But that speaker of yours is not safe from me." Sanyukta said with an evil glint in her eyes, while trying to calm her down. She could see Venya gulp loudly at her promise of threat.

"W..Wha..What do you m..me..mean by that?" Venya stuttered a bit, as she knew Sanyukta a little too well, if she set her mind on something, she'll definitely do it.

"Don't you worry my innocent Priya. Nothing too bad." She patted her shoulder, got up, dusted her long top and started moving towards the canteen. Her eyes suddenly fell upon the latest model of BMW. She has never seen such a sleek car in their campus; she knows this because most of her free time is being spent there in the parking lot. She realised it could have belonged to only one person. She turned towards Venya and asked her just to confirm. "Does this car belong to that devil Chauhan" Venya nodded in agreement, as she was the one who welcomed him, being the representative of her class. Sanyukta couldn't believe her luck, it seemed as if the God is with her today, a perfect way to extract her revenge. She did a little happy dance in her head.

By now, Venya sort of gauged her intentions, thanks to the pure elation she felt looking at his car; she caught hold of her hand, to gain her attention.

"Stop! Right now. Whatever you are planning to do Yukti! You'll face dire consequences if you go through it." she pleaded like a mama bear. Venya has known her friend for so long, that by now she knew how her devious mind will work. Without a doubt she is the mature one out of the two of them and tries her best to placate her for going through her evil ideas. She's the only one who has the power to rein her in. But today, even she can't dissuade Sanyukta.

Sanyukta pulled away her hand from Venya's grip and started searching, for some sharp instrument to puncture his tyre. Beauty of this particular brand of car is that, a local garage worker cannot fix it; he'll need to take it to the main service centre. Smiling evilly, she found a paper cutter in her bag and set herself to finish the task at hand. She happily walked to his car and started to stab his car's tyre with paper cutter. All this while Venya was doing useless attempt to stop her, but there was no stopping her today.

Even after shredding his tyre, she was not fully satisfied as she wanted him to teach, that he is not the king of this world. Then an idea popped up in her head. She took out the black permanent marker from her bag, climbed up on the bonnet of his car and wrote in her beautiful writing.

Karma is the bitch.

And happily got down, adjusted the strap of the bag on her shoulder, took the hand of tensed Venya in hers and dragged her along tothe canteen, while asking her to quit nagging, as no one will know that she is the culprit; as the CCTV in that particular area wasn't working
