She got scared like other and walked to him slowly. He placed all her answer sheets on the table and crossed his arms. He was fuming when she looked at her marks and then looked back at him.



"Who was sitting in front of you ?"He asked angrily.

"I was sitting on the first bench."She replied scaridly.

"Peeche ?" "A boy from different department."

"Then, how you managed to score full marks ?"He shouted while placing his hands on the table with loud thud.

"I... I studied."She replied in low voice scaridly after noticing his behaviour.

"You think, I will believe this ?"He continued fumingly,"YOU THINK THAT... I will believe that you studied for only 1 week and topped the exam ? Am I looking like a fool to you ? Tell me, how you cheated ?"

"I didn't."She whispered scaridly.

"I swear, If I will find out that you cheated then I will throw you out of this college. So, it's better that you confess."He angrily announced.

"I didn't cheat."She still whispered.

"Fine, meet me in the staffroom in the lunch break."
He said and crossed his arms,"Go back to your place."



She picked up her answer sheets and went back to her place. Sumedh pulled his chair and sat down. He rubbed his face by his palm forcefully as his head was paining. He rested his head on the table and covered his face by his arms. He thought of closing his eyes for few seconds, but he fell asleep preety quickly.

The students looked at him and started talking among themselves when they were sure that he was in deep sleep. The students who were in punishment also relaxed and stretched their body as their legs and other body parts were in pain.



"Oye.. tum sab khade kyu ho gye ? Sir se complaint kar dengge hum.. chup chap murga ban jao dubara."One of the students said to punished students.

"Jaa bee.. tu apnein kaam se kaam rakh.. soo rhe hai sir abhi. Waise bhi sir ko aaise class mein soona nhi chahiye."One of the punished student said,"Hum chahe to complaint kar sakte hai inke against."

"Waah.. ek to khud padhai na karo.. phir punishment bhi dhang se naa karo.. aur phir dhamki bhi tum log hi doo."A fangirl said,"Soo kar koi gunha thodi kiya hai inhone. Thak gye hongge.. hum sab ka lea itni mehnat jo karte hai. Tujhe complaint karni hai to kar de.. hum bhi bol dengge phir."

Others agreed with the fangirl,"Chalo ab koi jyada shor mat karo.. warna neend disturb ho jayegi."She continued.



Everyone agreed with her and tried to maintain silence, but slowly the class was filled with noise.
Meanwhile, Sumedh smiled when he noticed the girl in his dream, but his eyes welled up when he realized that the girl was standing in the middle of the fire.

He ran to her, and tried to bring her out from the fire, but as much as he was running towards her, someone was pulling her away. He stood there helplessly and cried when two pieces of cloth slowly wrapped her body and pulled her into the darkness.

Her last words still echoed in his ear,"Help me ! Sir."

"Sir."It echoed again,"Sir."He opened his eyes when he heard it again and looked towards the class.

Everyone stopped talking when they noticed that he was awake. The students quickly went back to their punishment position when Sumedh turned his head to check them. He again looked at the student who was standing and was actually calling him.



"Yes ?"He asked in sleepy tone, but then cleared his throat and asked again.

"Sir.. doubt hai."The student said.

"Hmm.."He stood up and checked the time in his wrist watch. Before, he solved the doubt, he asked everyone,"Itna shor kyu kar rhe the sabhi ? Kaam diya tha na karnein ka lea ?"

No one answered anything and glued their eyes on the notebook. He again looked at the student and said before leaving,"Wait for 5 mins, I'll just come back."

"Stick lene gye hai kya kyuki hum sab shor kar rhe the aur unki neend kharab ho gyi ?"One of them scaridly said,"Kya zarurat thi uthanein ki ?"

"Dara maat tu ab.. waise bhi subha se bahut gusse mein hai."Another one said in scared tone as well.


All of them were exchanging worries, but instantly they stopped when Sumedh entered in the classroom while wiping his face with handkerchief. He folded the handkerchief and kept inside his pocket and looked at the student who asked for doubt.

He went to him and explained the solution softly and calmly. All students released sigh of relief when they noticed that his mood was better.



"Kisi aur ko koi doubt ?"He asked while roaming in the class. Everyone answered negatively.

He hummed and continued roaming. At the end, he walked to the students who were punished,"Kisse puch kar khade ho gye the sabhi ? Pura din aaise hi rakhu tum logo ko phir ? Na padhai dhang se karni hai aur na hi punishment."

"No sir, please.. agli baar se ache se padhengge.. full marks lekar aayengge pakka. Last chance de do sir please."All of them requested.

"Vo to dekhengge. Chalo.. ab jao apnein seat par.. aur assignment time par submit kar dena. Warna punishment ka trailer to dekh hi liya hai... tab full movie dikhayungga."He talked to them in low voice so that rest of the class shouldn't get disturb.

"Thank you sir,"They smiled after standing up and rushed to their seats quickly.




The girls stood up at the end, and wiped their nose and tears. They were sniffing silently for the whole time. They were walking slowly towards their seats.



"Tum dono ruko."Sumedh stopped them when he noticed.




They turned towards him slowly and nervously, and stood their with bowed heads as they were feeling ashamed to look into his eyes.



"Why are you still crying ?"He walked close to them and asked in low voice which was only audible to them. They were silently looking down without saying anything.

"Paining ?"He asked softly again. They nodded in no.

"Thennnn, someone teased or made fun of you ?"He asked again while tilting his head to look at their faces. They nodded in no again.

"Thennnn, because I slapped ?"He asked after thinking for few seconds. As soon as, he mentioned about that their eyes filled up again and they started sobbing.

"Are are."He smiled and gave a side hug to them,"Itni teez bhi nhi mara tha yaar. Ab dekho.. padhai nhi karoge to dant to padegi na.. maar bhi padegi.. aur punishment bhi milegi. Bewajha to nhi mara na maine tum dono ko ?"His tone was still soft and calm. They nodded in no again while sniffing.

"Then, why are you crying like this ? Mujhe bhi acha thodi lagta hai tum sab ko aaise dantna.. punish karna. Lekin kya karu.. tum logo ke future ka lea karna parta hai."He cutely said,"I care for you all, that's why."

"It's okay sir. Sorry. Hum next time se aur mehnat karengge."They looked at him and smiled while wiping their tears.

"Good.. chalo ab jakar paani peekar aao aur face wash karke aayo."He smiled. They smiled and left from there.

The other girls looked at them with jealousy when he gave a hug to those girls and whispered to her friend with a pout,"Yaar, agar punishment ke baad aaise hug milegi to main rooz punishment ka lea taiyaar hu."

"Me too. Lucky girls."Her friend pouted too while turning pages of her book.





He smiled and started roaming again. He was about to go back to the front but stopped near Himani's bench when he noticed that she was typing in the laptop rather than studying. His smile vanished and looked at her with narrow eyebrows.


"Stand up."He ordered her.
