Janhavi's pov A new morning comes with new hopes and new challenges. I woke up to find the environment calm. After enjoying the slow morning wind for some time, I went to freshen up. All the while, yesterday night's scenario didn't leave from my mind. I thought to inform all these things to maa. But then I knew about her health condition. I couldn't burden her more with these new problems. Even I had no idea from when and why these things were happening in our house. Did bhabi's parents have any idea about this? I turned off the shower and dried myself. Then I wore a white kurti and moved downstairs to find everyone sitting at the dining table. Everyone were waiting for the breakfast. Looking at bhai's (brother's) face, I slowed down my steps. I decided to move inside the kitchen and have my breakfast there itself. But to my bad luck, Bhabhi had already noticed me. "Janhu! Where are you going? Come here and have your breakfast." I scaredly move towards the dining table. Maa (Mother) and Bhabhi (Sister-in-law) were serving breakfast to Papa and bhai respectively. I looked amazingly at Bhabhi's face. She hid the slap mark by using make up and was behaving as if there was no problem between her and bhai. Maybe bhai had apologized to her for his inhuman behaviour. I was happy at least thinking that Bhai and Bhabhi solved their problem. "Janhu! Where are you lost beta? Complete your breakfast." Maa (Mother) said caressing my head and I nodded before concentrating on my food. "How was your study going?" This time it was Papa (father) who asked me.  "It's going fine, Papa (father)." I said scardly and the breakfast continued until bhai decided to break the silence. "Janhu! Eat fast. Today I will drop you while going to office." "Don't worry Bhai. I will.." I was interrupted by Papa. "If your elder brother is speaking something, then it's for your betterment only. Don't argue over it. Learn how to obey elder's words." I nodded my head not knowing what to answer. I was not back answering Bhai. In fact I have no problem with him dropping me. It's just that I was worried because he had to take reverse root as my college stood exactly on the opposite way of his office. But nevertheless I can't argue about my point now and upset everyone again. So I silently agreed. After completing breakfast, I collected my stuffs and went outside waiting for bhai's arrival. Papa was already gone to his work place before sometime. Bhai came riding his bike from the garage and I took the back seat. We were about to move when Bhabhi came running towards us. "Vivaan! You left your tiffin." She said. But there was something odd in her tone. Maybe I was overthinking. Both of them seemed to be fine. I shouldn't create more misunderstandings between them due to my silly thoughts. "Put it inside my bag." Bhai said nonchalantly and again started his bike. Not for once he looked at Bhabhi. But I noticed his secret gaze on her through the rear mirror. A small smile broke into my lips. After twenty minutes, we reached near my college main gate. The ride was unusually silent. I was about to move inside the college but Bhai's voice stopped me on my track. "Janhu!" I stopped on my track and looked at his face. Don't know why but Bhabhi's words ringed near my ear. Never look down when you haven't done anything wrong. "I didn't speak about yesterday's happenings to papa. This time I am trusting you and your reasons. Don't ever break my trust." He said and I nodded my head. He drove away after making sure that I entered inside the college. I stepped inside the college to find it silent which is not usual. I looked at my hand watch to find that I am earlier than other days as today I came with bhai. When I crossed the main gate, the security guard stand up and opened the gate for me as if showing me respect. I couldn't understand the reason for his behaviour. I moved inside and decided to call Niha. I called her but she didn't pick up. I don't know what's wrong with this girl. She informed me that she was going to her uncle's house for some days and isn't back yet. Now she had even no time to receive my call. I dropped my phone inside my bag and went towards the class. Slowly a few number of students started to appear and all of them were giving weird looks to me. I ignored their stares and digged my head into the book. After a few minutes, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to find a girl..sorry a group of girls. I never saw them in my class, maybe they are from another stream. But from the looks my classmates were giving means trouble. They were our seniors. I never encountered with them because they were from different stream, maybe from Arts. But what are they doing here. "Yes mam! How can I help you?" I asked politely to the girl who patted my back. "Help!" She spoke keeping her palm on both of her cheeks expressing her shock. But I didn't reveal any mystery to make her shock. "Hey guys!" She addressed her group and attracted everyone's attention. "Look at this middle class girl and her guts. She is thinking that I will need help from her. The Kiara Randhawa will need help from a middle class nerd like you. Joke of the day." I couldn't understand why suddenly they came and started insulting me. What's there problem if I belong to a middle class back ground. I have high values unlike them. I stayed silent as I didn't want to invite any more troubles in my already messed up life. But that girl Kiara or tiara whoever, again started her drama. "Aww.. So baby is in her innocent mode. Listen you downmarket girl, Show your drama in front of those innocent rich guys to trap them in your web. Everyone here will come to know your true colours one day. For now, a warning for your betterment only, stay away from my Animesh." She said the last line coming closer to me. Our faces were inches apart and I directly looked into her eyes and she immediately stayed away. "Don't give me these looks. You have no idea about my power. If I want, I can rusticate you from this college. Even I will make sure that you won't get admission in any other colleges. I will destroy you and all your dreams. And these are not impossible for me as the trustee is a good friend of my father. So stay in your limit, and remember that Animesh is far away from your limit." This time I was really scared. From the looks I was getting from my classmates, I got that she really had power to the things she told. If I will get rusticated, then papa will never allow me to study further. Even bhai won't trust me again. I lowered my gaze and decided to apologize her though I didn't know what my mistake was. But before I could apologise, she hurriedly left the class room not before giving me a warning look. I confusedly sat on my seat and looked outside the window to find Mr.... Oh God, I forgot to find out his name. Now what will I call him. Even I had to thank him for his help. He saved me yesterday from that monster's clutch. But the problem was how I am going to call him. I was lost into my thoughts that I forgot to look away from him. My thought process broke when someone shook my shoulder. "Hey Janu!" My mouth hunged upon finding him standing in front of me. My mouth dried and no words formed inside it. I literally became a living statue in front of him.
