Chapter 34 - Their Rightful Places

Mansi rushed forward to grab the mobile from her hands. However, before she could touch it, Maya grabbed her hand and twisted it behind her back.

"It's time we share the news to the rest of the college, shouldn't we, Mansi darlo?" Maya put her phone in her pockets. She took off Mansi's glasses and put them on herself. "I think these suit me better. Come on."

With one hand, she held Mansi's hands behind her back, while with the other she grabbed Mansi's arm and dragged her out of the room.

The entire college body watched Mansi being pulled by the new girl. Swara, Laksh, Riya and everyone else who were practicing, came out of the auditorium hearing the commotion. Sanskar was in the washroom, but came out hearing the uproar outside. Once he came near the clearing where everyone was, he looked towards the center. "Eh? Isn't that Maya?"

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

It was indeed Maya pulling a screaming Mansi with her. "Is she the same stuttering Maya that I met before?"

He watched as Maya kept dragging Mansi until they were in the center of the courtyard and pushed Mansi to the ground.

Maya took out her phone and played the recording for everyone to hear. "Now to play the epic tag line." Maya increased the volume to its fullest.

"I, Mansi Singh, poisoned the drink for Swara to kill her and trap Ragini."

Mansi looked at the on-lookers as murmurs broke out. She found them looking at her with different emotions. Some looked horrified, while some were looking at her in disbelief. But mostly, they looked disgusted. They were 'boo-ing' her and shouting at her, calling her names.

She glared at Maya. However, it wasn't effective as she looked like she was about to cry. "How could you do this to me? How could you be so cruel!?"

"Do you ever think of your own actions? Can't you see how cruel you were to poison an innocent and trying to frame her own sister for the crime? Did you think of how cruel you were being to Kriti?" Maya sneered back.

Karan rushed into the courtyard. He had been busy in the lab. But as soon as he heard the students shouts and hollerings outside, he came out. He peeked through the crowd of students and was shocked to see the sight.

Maya bent down to look at Mansi and spoke looking directly into her eyes. "I don't like taking extreme measures. In fact, I'm a kitten most of the times. It's people like you who push my limits. If you had learned to stay in your limits, I wouldn't have had to cross mine."

Mr. Maheshwari arrived at that moment with some constables. Maya handed them the recording. "This is the evidence. Make sure you give her what she deserves."

"No! Let go of me!" Mansi shouted as the female constable held her and put on the cuffs. "Let go! Maya! I'll get my revenge on you! Leave me! Leave mei said!" Mansi was taken away, screaming. Maya waved towards Mansi with a smile, irritating her further.

She turned to the rest, to find them looking at her, wide eyed. Out of the crowd, she heard a voice.

A familiar one at that.
