Megha ( POV ) As I walked back to my rental house early in the morning, I saw kaveri di having her morning tea with her husband. " Megha , come here , have some breakfast with us. " Said kaveri di. I walked over to them and she poured me a cup of tea. It's a high quality tea , nothing better than starting the day with super sweet tea. " So megha finally exams are over , how are you feeling? " asked samrat Jiju. " Great , I am so relaxed. Currently practising for our upcoming program. Both of you should attend to watch me dance. " I told them and they nodded in agreement. " Di , where are you...di.. " came kabir sir's voice. I was planning to leave but he came before I could even place my plate down. He stopped looking towards me. I simply don't want to see him. " Di , breakfast...I am so hungry. " he said and I hate the fact that I thought he looked cute while asking for food like that. " Sit down...here have something to eat. " Said samrat Jiju, I have seen that samrat Jiju cares for kabir sir. They're just like bestfriends. " Megha was just inviting us for our upcoming college program. " Said kaveri di to him. " You should come , it's really going to be fun. " he added while nodding. " My niece studies in your college, she told me you guys had a problem in college in exam.... someone got caught cheating. " asked samrat Jiju ( brother in law ) . I looked at him and than kabir sir. Kabir sir was staring towards samrat Jiju with a complicated look. " Yes , one girl got caught cheating during math exam. " I finally told him. He should know what happened in college. " Who caught that student? And what happened? " asked samrat Jiju. " Well , that student was weak in maths. Her teacher thought she can never do well. And her teacher found a chit near her , he thought she was cheating. So he insulted her infront of the whole class..." I told him. I can still remember kabir sir's look. It was filled with disgust. " Than what happened? " asked samrat Jiju, all excited to know the rest of the story. " Well , then the student protested and the teacher checked the paper...it was paper of another syllabus . " I told and he looked even surprised. " So he just concluded her as a cheater, without even checking if she was cheating or not. " Asked kaveri di and I nodded. " That's very bad , teachers shouldn't do it. " she said with an angry face. Kabir sir was silent. " In his heart , maybe she is a girl who doesn't work hard , is a cheater....that's why he believed that other teacher but not his student. " I told him and they nodded in sympathy." Kabir say something..." asked samrat Jiju. " What ? That the student was megha and I was the teacher who didn't listen her. " he said in an annoyed voice. This matter is annoying for him ? " What ? I haven't expected that from you kabir. Not nice ..not nice.." said kaveri di angrily. " Have you said sorry to magha? " asked samrat Jiju. " No need , as a teacher he thought I am his weak student. That's nothing he should be saying sorry for. " I told them , I know kabir sir will not be sorry from his heart. So what's the point ? " And I haven't told sister anything about it...so it's alright. " I told kabir sir indirectly. " Your so kind but weren't kabir will say sorry. " Said kaveri di. " He may feel shy to say sorry infront of us. Let's go inside ...you do what we said. " Said samrat Jiju. And together with kaveri di he went inside his house. I stood up and was about to leave when someone pulled my shelves, I turned and saw kabir sir. " Please sit down..." he said and I sat down. What's wrong with him ? " I never thought you as a loser or a cheater student megha. " he said and I looked away from him. " You're one of my bright student but ....the situation was like that...I had to do what I did. " he tried to explain me his actions. " I am truly sorry for what happened. I should have trusted you. I am sorry megha. " he said and I turned to look at him. He looks really sorry ... should I forgive him ? Wouldn't it be too early? " I looked for you in the whole college but didn't get you, I wanted to say sorry but you didn't return home. " he said , well I wasn't home. But he called Sahara, I don't know why and talked with her about the upcoming program." It's alright" I told him. He is my teacher and I guess I should be satisfied with his apology and forgive him as his student. " Thank you, I will never doubt you in future. " he said and like I would believe that but I still smiled. I sat down and We eat breakfast in silence. " I know why you wanted me to get less marks. " I told and he looked confused. I told him " cause if I get good marks you have to participate in our program...dance with us. " I reminded him about our challenge. He laughed out loud. It's so nice to watch him laugh. " That challenge, you think I am afraid of such a small challenge, if you get full marks, I will dance. I can dance better than you. " Said kabir sir in a challenging voice." Confidence I like it , but in dance , I am the queen. " I told him. " And I am an uncrowded king of the dance stage , you just wait and watch. " he said. " Can't go back on your words. " I told and he nodded. We shook hands on it. Well now I am interested to see how it goes.
