11) Staff Room Scene

Author's POV :

The next day, Niyati was going towards class thinking of Mitali's talk the previous evening. She was passing in front of the staff room. Did she think that why not once she saw Smaran through the glass door? So she stood in front of the door and started looking inside. She was a little happy to hear the ending of Gauri and Smaran's relationship. But as soon as she saw the staff room scene, she was surprised to see it. There were not many teachers in the staff room of science. Apart from Smaran, all the teachers used to come at the exact time. She thought that this time he would be alone in the staff room, but Gauri was also standing there with him and she held Smaran's hand in her hands and was speaking something lovingly while looking at her. Smaran was also answering his words then suddenly she hugged him.

Niyati's tears welled on seeing this. She felt that after their relationship ended, he would not have any kind of feeling for Gauri in his heart. But after watching this scene, she started to feel that even today Smaran has some feelings that remain in his heart. Thinking this, tears came to her eyes. She didn't want to see anything more than this, so wiping her tears she left from there.

Mitali was waiting for her eagerly in class. She had to know what she has thought about herself and Smaran next? So, as soon as she saw her, she asked the same question," So what did you think?",Mitali asked curiously.

Niyati was trying her best to hide her tears from her. She didn't respond to her. Mitali then repeated her question and asked her to look into her eyes. As soon as Mitali saw her tear-soaked eyelids, she understood.

"Niyati, why were you crying, what happened?", Mitali asked, looking at her with anxious eyes.

"Nothing at all", She responded with a fake smile and sat quietly in her place. Mitali had understood by looking at her withering appearance that a very big thing had happened or else Niyati would never act like this. She was about to call her again when suddenly Samar gave a voice to Mitali and came to her.

"Mitali I want to talk to you about something important", He said with excitement.

"Samar. I'll talk to you later I have some urgent work right now", Mitali had started calling her that Samar spoke again, "You do your work later. Please listen to me first", He pleaded.

"Samar please understand my point. I still have a lot of urgent work to do. I will listen to you later. Let me do my work for now", Saying this, she quickly turned to Niyati without hearing Samar's answer, grabbed her hand, and took her from there to a corner of the school ground.

"Now quickly tell what has happened?", Mitali asked seriously.

"I said nothing had happened", She responded by trying her best to lie to her.

"See, you know that no matter how much you try, you can't lie to me. I know for sure that something has happened and whatever has happened is related to Smaran Sir. So, tell me that thing directly or else I will go and ask sir", Mitali said in anger and started going from there that Niyati sat on her knees on the ground crying. Mitali was surprised to see her in this condition. She too quickly got down on her knees.

"What happened Niyati? Please tell me, yarr. I can't see you in this condition", Mitali said getting upset. She hugged her while crying and spoke, "Today, when I was coming to class, I saw Gauri and Smaran sir together in the staff room. They both had each other's hands. She also hugged Sir. I think maybe the two have patched up", Saying this, she started crying more loudly.

"No, it can't happen. You have got some misunderstanding. After knowing the reason for which Gauri had left him, he would never allow her to come again in his life. He is very intelligent. He knows that the girl can leave him this time because of money. She can also leave him again. He will never make the mistake of bringing her back into his life again", Mitali was trying her best at her side. But after the scene she saw some time ago, her heart and mind were not in a condition to understand anything.

Then suddenly she stopped crying and wiped tears, "I don't know whether I trust what I saw or what you said. But I know for sure that Smaran sir and Gauri had a relationship earlier. Sir once accepted Gauri. He once gave her the right over himself and his life. Such a person can do this only when he likes or loves that person and nobody can listen to anything in front of the heart. It may be that he has given her a chance again by being forced in front of his heart", Niyati said with an emotionless face.

"But I don't think so", Mitali responded quickly.

"Leave it, yarr. How does it matter? If he accepts her again in his life then it's okay. I just want his happiness. If he is happy with her then be happy. Maybe he was not in my luck. But the only problem is that my love story ended before it even started", Saying this, tears came in her eyes again. Mitali didn't say anything to her but hugged her. After that, the first lecture bell rang and they both went to class.

During the talk of Mitali and Niyati, there were two other girls in another corner of the same field who were talking to each other and the two girls were Divya and Gauri who sent Gauri to Smaran.

"Thank you very much for doing my work",Divya thanked Gauri. 

"Welcome but why did you tell me to go to Smaran? You know that I had to unnecessarily hold the hand of that poor person and hug him",Gauri said with a disgust face.

"I just wanted to hurt Niyati. You don't know how much I have to bear because of that. She repeatedly humiliates me in front of everyone and becomes great herself.  I just had to know her weakness, which I have come to know", Divya said with a smirk.

"Who is her weakness?", Gauri asked her as she was confused. 

"Smaran",She replied with a smirk.

"What? What do you mean?", She asked again making a confused face.

"Niyati likes Smaran Sir. I have seen feelings for him in her eyes so when I told her about you and sir yesterday, she couldn't speak anything from the front. Her face was worth seeing. I was very happy to see her face but this happiness was not enough for me. I wanted to hurt her more. That's why I sent you to sir today.  The moment Niyati entered the school and as she was about to pass in front of the staff room, I made a gesture to hold him by the hand and give him a hug. Now I just have to go to class and see how it is doing. I'm pretty sure she will be in shock at this time", Divya said smiling and then said," Well yesterday you told me that you will bring a picture of you two and where is that picture? I also have to show the pictures to Niyati and disturb her further",Divya asked eagerly.

"Ahh..Actually I reset the phone due to the virus coming in the phone, due to which all the data of the phone was deleted, as well as pictures of me and Smaran and anyway due to the lack of time, I and He only met once in 2 months, which I had only 4-5 photos which is no more", Gauri said while expelling him.

"What was this relationship like? You met only once in two months?",She asked while making a strange as well as surprised face.

"Yes, that poor person had no time for me. He was not particularly interested in my beauty.  He had just fallen into the trap of my sweet sweet talk and I felt that this man is rich.  Later it was found out that he does not even have his own house to live",She replied.

"Leave all this and Now tell me what I will tell her? I told her yesterday that you will bring pictures taken with you and Smaran today.  Now what will I say to hee?",  Divya said angrily.

"I think you have no need to say anything to her today because after seeing the view of the staff room today she won't be in a condition to listen or say anything for the whole day",Gauri replied with an attitude smile.

"Well, you are right. She will be very upset today but this is just the beginning. I want to break her completely and for that I need your help, will you help me?", Divya asked with hope. 

"Okay,I'm ready to help you",Divya is happy after hearing this thing of Gauri and she further said, "but on one condition".

"What kind of condition?",Divya asked in a serious way.

"If you want me to hurt Niyati by talking about myself and Smaran of being in fake love in front of her, then I want a person in return, which I have started liking", Gauri said,

"Who is he?", She asked while being confused.
