Chapter 6
Advait woke up and did his morning routine then he made breakfast for his brothers after being done with making breakfast he went to their rooms to wake them up.
Arush was sitting on the advait's lap "bhaiya!" Arush sulked.
"Ha beta" Advait said making a morsel of food.
"mujhe school nahi jana mam ne agar mujhe phir se maara to." Arush said.
"maarna to dur ki baat ab apko wo mam dikhengi bhi nahi I promise." Advait said.
Arush confusingly blinked his eye, advait smiled looking at him.
They finished their breakfast and Advait dropped them to the school.
"Bhaiya aap andar nahi ayenge aapne kaha tha aap mam ko datenge." Arush complained.
"Aaunga beta par abhi apki mam nahi aayi hongi na to mai unhe kese datunga?" Advait explained "bhaiya thodi der bad ayenge promise." He added.
Arush nodded and they entered the school Advait went to his office.
Abhishek was sitting in his class his accountancy teacher entered and asked students to show the guardian's signature on their test papers After checking their test papers the teacher started teaching.
In the fourth period advait entered the school and directly barged in the principal's office.
Principal got startled seeing advait as he was a popular businessman and known for his ruthlessness. The principal was new there but he recognized the advait very well.
"Mr. Malhotra aap...please sit." The principal asked and fixed his composure.
"I'm not here to sit principal...call miss kavita hindi teacher of your school here right now." Advait ordered in an authoritative tone.
"Oh ok but please take a seat and tell me what's the matter?" Principal asked.
Advait gritted his teeth in anger he was fuming "call her right now she dared to hit my kid and now i'll show her the consequences of it."
The principal shivered in fear he was aware of his this side he quickly called a peon and asked him to call miss kavita.
After five minutes miss kavita entered the cabin after knocking "yes sir you called for me." She politely asked.
"So you're miss kavita ha?" Advait gritted standing up from his seat.
Miss kavita nodded confusingly.
"How dare you hit my kid?" Advait banged the table making principal and the teacher flinched in fear.
Miss kavita started sweating in nervousness and she shivered.
"Answer me." Advait growled as she backed away a little in fear.
"Sir...he was no.. not paying attention in the class." She stuttered.
"So you will hit him ha?" Advait said.
"Mere bachho par koi nazar utha kar bhi dekhe mujhe bardaasht nahi hath uthana to bohot dur ki baat hai." He stated in a cold tone.
"What is this behavior miss kavita you know very well that our school doesn't allow hitting students." Principal said.
"I am sorry sir it will not be repeated" She replied looking down.
"Oh don't worry for that miss you won't even get a chance to repeat it." Advait said mockingly.
She looked confused.
"Fire her right now." Advait said directly looking straight in the principal's eyes.
They both got shocked "but sir..." The principal started.
"Fire her principal or you know what I can do." Advait said casually.
The principal feared "no sir please you don't need to do anything."
Then he looked at miss kavita "no need to come from tomorrow miss kavita you're fired." He said.
"sir i know it was my mistake but i assure you it will not happen again you can't just fire me for this." She pleaded.
"You can leave." The principal said she left but not before glaring at Advait who was not even looking at her.
"I am really sorry for this time sir i assure you it will not happen again." Principal said.
Advait just nodded and left he was walking in the corridor when he crossed his path to a teacher.
"Oh Mr. Malhotra you are here?" The teacher said surprisingly.
Advait looked at the teacher he smiled a bit and bent down to touch his feet "it's always Advait for you sir."
The teacher smiled and patted his back "how are you son?"
Advait nodded "aap kaise hain sir?"
The teacher was Mr. Sharma, he was advait's mathematics teacher when he was in 10th standard. Advait was his favorite student and they used to share a deep bond.
"I'm good in fact i was about to call you also." Mr. Sharma replied.
"Is everything fine sir?" Advait asked with concern.
"Yeah actually I wanted to talk about your brother, Abhishek." Mr. Sharma said.
Advait furrowed his brows "actually his grades in accountancy are getting low day by day." Mr. Sharma added.
"Yesterday I took a test and he scored two out of thirty." Mr. Sharma told him.
"Whatt?" Advait said a bit aloud "Abhishek didn't tell me anything about any test."
"I told everyone to take their guardian signature on the test papers and you signed it." Mr. Sharma informed.
"Sir i didn't sign any test papers." Advait said confusion was evident in his voice.
"Then maybe he forged your signature because he showed me his test paper and it has your signature." Mr. Sharma said angrily.
"That boy." Advait mumbled in anger and frustration.
"I'm sorry on his behalf sir I don't know what to say." Advait said feeling embarrassed.
"You don't have to be sorry son talk to him calmly and make him understand if he has any problem with the subject or from my way of teaching then tell me so that we can figure out the solution." Mr. Sharma said gently patting his shoulder.
Advait nodded "yes sir, thank you." and he left.
He reached his office and entered his cabin fuming in anger.
"What's up darling?"
A voice heard as he stepped in his cabin "what are you doing here?" Advait asked ignoring his presence sitting on the chair.
"Ab apne dost se milne ke liye bhi reason lekar aana padega kya?" Reyansh said getting up from the sofa.
Advait ignored him and started working on his laptop "kya hua aisa darawana muh kyu bana rakha hai?" Reyansh chuckled taking his seat in front of him.
"Rey already mera dimag bohot kharab hai mai tere ye mazak sunne ke mood me bilkul nahi hu." Advait said taking deep breaths.
Reyansh expression turned serious listening to his frustrating voice "kya hua advi all good?"
"abhi tak to hai but ab nahi rahega." Advait replied gritting his teeth.
"Hua kya ye to bata?" Reyansh asked giving him a glass of water.
Advait told him about the stunt abhishek had pulled "I'll show him the hell today how dare he forge my signature."
"Shaant bhai, bachha hai wo kar diya to kar diya maine bhi bachpan me kiya tha." Reyansh said nonchalantly.
Advait glared at him "to tu kya chahta hai tune kiya tha to mai usey bhi aise hi jane du ha?"
"Mai ye nahi bol raha par usse baat kar pehle ki usne aisa kiya kyu kya pata usey subject me koi problem ho usey samajh na aata ho usey pyar se samajh or samjha." Reyansh advised.
"Subject me koi problem hona wo alag problem hai lekin iska matlab ye nahi hai ki wo ye harkate karega." Advait said angrily.
"bilkul dhyan hi nahi hai is ladke ka padhai me." He added with anger and a hint of worry in his voice.
"Usne commerce li hai yaar aur tune science li thi tujhe kya pata commerce wale bachho ka dukh." Reyansh said dramatically wiping his non existing tears as he was also a commerce student.
Advait made a disgusting face at his dramatics "idiot." He muttered.
"Listen I think tujhe uske liye ek tutor appoint karna chahiye because tu chahe to bhi uske doubts ache se clear nahi kar sakta islie tutor rakhna is a good option." Reyansh suggested with seriousness in his voice.
"No rey I can't trust a stranger with my child." Advait voiced out his concern.
"Don't worry yaar mai aise hi thodi kisi ko bhi appoint karne ko keh raha hu ache se background check karna sab thik hoga to hi final karna" Reyansh replied patting his shoulder.
"oh ha mom ki ek friend thi unki daughter bhi teacher hai if you want you can give her a try." Reyansh suggested.
"what do you mean by 'friend thi'?" Advait said confusingly.
"She expired two months back. She was a close friend of mom... I have met her daughter a couple of times and mom alsopraises her a lot...i don't know about her teaching skills but she is a very sweet and genuine girl." Reyansh said.
Advait nodded "okay mai abhi se baat karta hu agar sach me usey tutor ki need hai then i'll definitely contact her." Advait replied with worried expressions.
Advait entered the mansion anger was still visible on his face, he met with aditya and arush but ignored Abhishek.
He went to his room to freshen up and come back downstairs. They were sitting in the living room.
"Bhaiya apko pata hai aaj kavita mam school hi nahi aayi thi." Arush said happily.
"Aur ab kabhi ayengi bhi nahi." Advait mumbled.
"kuch kaha aapne?" Arush asked innocently.
"Ni bacha...idhar aao." Arush came to him and advait made him sit beside him.
"Kesa gaya mere bache ka din?" Advait asked smiling.
"Bhot acha." Arush replied cutely kissing Advait's cheeks.
"Aap sab yaha bethe huye ho mujhe kyu nahi bulaya." Aditya said while descending the stairs.
"Kyuki aap padhai kar rahe the." Arush replied.
Abhishek was sitting silently. He noticed that advait was ignoring him but afraid to ask him the reason.
Aditya sat on Advait's lap and snuggled to him "kya hua baby?" Advait asked.
"Vanu naraz ho gayi." Aditya sulked
Advait rolled his eyes as it was their daily things.
"Bhai isme nayi baat kya hai wo to har time aap se naraz hi rehti hai." Arush grinned.
Aditya glared at him standing up from Advait's lap "tu kyu beech me bol raha hai tujhse bola maine?"
"mai to bolunga mera muh hai." Arush mumbled slowly.
"Acha to mera bhi hath hai ek marunga na bolna band ho jayega." Aditya raised his voice.
"Enough both of you aise ladai nahi karte." Advait chided them gently.
"Bhaiya ye ladai kar raha hai." Arush said pointing his finger at Aditya.
"Arush ye kya tarika hai baat karne ka?" Advait said firmly.
Arush looked down and mumbled "aap usko to kuch nahi bol rahe."
"Usko ni unko bada hai wo tumse aayi baat samajh me." Advait said but arush didn't reply.
Advait made him stand in front of him and hold his both hands "look up" He ordered.
Arush meekly looked up at him "aise baat karte hai bado se?" Advait strictly asked.
Arush shook his head "to kyu ki phir aapne?" Advait asked.
"solly." Arush said looking down.
"Adi bhai se bolo." Advait instructed him.
Arush looked at aditya and said sorry with an attitude.
"Arush sorry bolna bhi sikhana padega ab." Advait sternly said.
"Sorry bhai for disrespecting you." Arush said holding his ears.
"It's okay and I'm sorry too." Aditya replied hugging arush.
Advait smiled looking at both of them then he shifted his gaze on abhishek who was silently praying in his mind to not to get into trouble.
"How was you day abhi?" Advait asked controlling his anger.
Abhishek startled at the sudden question and nervously replied "it was good bhaiya."
"Hmm koi test hua tha?" Advait asked directly coming to the point.
"ah test kon sa test?" He nervously asked.
"Any class test bohot dino se koi test nahi dikhaya tumne." Advait said.
"Bhaiya wo abhi syllabus chal raha hai na to koi test nahi ho rahe." Abhishek replied averting his gaze.
Advait clenched his jaw in anger he gave him a chance to tell out the truth but he decided to lie instead.
"In my room right now." Advait ordered in a dangerous voice and left for the garden.
Abhishek's face turned pale as he understood that his bhaiya got to know about his lie so he scared stood up and went to his room.
"Abhi bhai ko kya hua?" Aditya asked particularly to no one looking at abhishek's scared expression.
"abhi tak to kuch nahi hua par ab hoga." Arush replied grinning mischievously.
Aditya whacked him and left from there
Advait returned in the living room with a thick switch in his hand.
Arush gulped on seeing it "bhaiya ye kiske liye hai?" he scaredly asked.
"Filhal apke liye nahi hai. Go to your room." Advait replied walking forward.
Arush scurridely ran away from there and advait started going to his room.
Meanwhile in the room abhishek was sweating due to fear. He was pacing here and there praying earth to swallow him.
Suddenly the door of the room burst open and the Advait was standing with a switch in his hand which scared him more.
