Days rolled on like this.

Sanyukta resumed college.

The routine life was tiring but still amazing.

SanDhir never failed to share blissful moments.

One night.

Sanyukta was checking exams papers. Randhir was working on laptop. He checked the time at it was 11PM.

"Sanyukta rakho do aab baad main check karna" Randhir said "Bas Randhir sirf do teen papers hi baki hai" She said.

Randhir shut down his laptop and sat beside her on bed. He flipped some pages of answer sheets.

"10/60" Randhir said

"Kon hai yeh...." Randhir turned page to check name

"Aryan Harshwal" Randhir read the name

"Most irritating student"

"Full of attitude..." "His father is trustee of college so he thinks he is king of college" Sanyukta said

"Hmmm....hote hai aaise ladke" Randhir said

"This is his 5th year in college" "He failed two times in third year" Sanyukta said

"Why don't this boys are serious about their careers?" Randhir said

"Forget it Randhir..." "They are born rich...so don't have any ambition in life" "They don't care" "Everything is ready made for them" Sanyukta said

"Hmmmm...chalo lets sleep now" Randhir said

"Hmmm...hume bhi bohot neend aarahi hai"She said.

Soon they called it a night.

Next Morning.

Sanyukta handed over respective answer sheets to students.

"10/60...." Aryan's friends started laughing.

Aryan's anger was on top.

"Class has performed really well..." "I am happy with performance...."

"Still there is always scope for improvement" Sanyukta said

"Ma'am....I have doubt" Piyali said

"Come to staff room if break time" Sanyukta said.

The class ended in next few minutes. Sanyukta was going to staff room. when Aryan stood in her way. Sanyukta looked at him and ignored.

"How dare you to fail me?" Aryan raised his voice

"First of all....this is not the way to talk to your faculty Aryan" "Don't you have manners?" "Learn to talk properly first...." Sanyukta said

"Ohh come...on...cut the crap" "How dare you to give me only 10 marks" Aryan said

"Cause you deserve it" "Check your answer sheet" "You have attempted only 2 questions hence you got 10 marks" Sanyukta said

"Till now no one has dared to fail me" "Every lecturer professor use to give me grace marks" Aryan said

"But I won't give you" "This is what you deserve Aryan"

"I'll be honest with myself..." Sanyukta said

"You want to lose your job Sanyukta" Aryan said

"I don't care of job Aryan" "But what is wrong...is wrong"

"If you attempt all questions correctly...I will definitely give you marks" "But...I can't cheat" "Study....and gain good marks" Sanyukta said and left.

"Aab iska kuch karna padega" Aryan said In lunch time.

"How're you?" "Had lunch" Randhir said

"I am fine...No just going for lunch" "Did you had yours?" She asked

"Just going" "Everything fine Sanyukta?" "You are sounding low..." Randhir said

"Yes Randhir everything is fine" "I am just tired" "Subah se continuous lecture the" Sanyukta said

"Thik hai...take care" "Shaam ko milte hai" Randhir said

"You too take care...bye" She said

"bye..." He disconnected the call

Sanyukta had lunch and was now preparing notes for next day lecture.

"Ma'am...." "May I come in?" Piyali said

"Yes Piyali come in..." Sanyukta said

Sanyukta helped Piyali in solving doubts.

"Ma'am if you don't mind can I tell you something" Piyali said

"Yes..." Sanyukta replied

"Ma'am...that Aryan is not good..." "Aap please usse panga mat lo..." "I mean to say...aapke pehle jo bhi lecturers or professors the...they use to give him marks" "Sab uske father se darte hai" "Uski wajah se aapko aapki job chodni pad sakti hai" Piyali said

"Thanks for the concern Piyali..." "BUt I am not scared of Aryan,his father or losing job"

"Jo galat hai...woh galat hai" "Marks dena alag baat hai but I can't cheat with myself"

"Not just that if I give him free marks...its injustice to other students like you who are working hard and study nicely" Sanyukta said

"I appreciate it Ma'am" "But..." Piyali said

"Lets just not talk about him Piyali" "You have more doubts?" Sanyukta said

"No Ma'am...Thanks" Piyali said "Welcome..." Sanyukta said.

Aryan was standing near the door and listening to their conversations.

It was 3PM. College hours ended. Aryan again blocked the way of Sanyukta.

"Now what?" Sanyukta replied annoyingly

"Ma'am....I realised my mistake" "You are correct Ma'am" "I don't deserve this bonus marks" "I should work hard and study to get good marks" "I am sorry Ma'am" Aryan faked an apology.

Sanyukta was stunned at the first place.

"Ma'am...please forgive me" Aryan held Sanyukta's hands.

Sanyukta withdraw her hands immediately.

"It's okay..." Sanyukta said and was about to go when Aryan stopped her.

"Ma'am...Can I drop you?" Aryan asked

"No please...Thanks" "I will manage" Sanyukta said

"Ma'am...aaj bus ka strike hai" Aryan said

"I will manage Aryan....Thank you so much" Sanyukta said and left.

She hire and cab and went home.

Aryan smirked an evil one.

"Whats going on in your head?" One of his friends asked

"Just wait and watch" Aryan smirked
