The next morning, Rudra was fast asleep when his phone rang loudly at 8 a.m. He answered half-asleep and was shocked awake by his father's angry voice.
His dad was upset because Rudra had failed his exam. He scolded Rudra harshly, warning that if he didn't do better in the next exam, his pocket money would be cut. His dad also said he'd only pay for basic stuff like canteen food, not any fancy snacks, and he'd cover rent and coaching fees, but nothing else.
Rudra felt stressed and knew he had to do something to get good marks at any cost.
After that rudy got ready and call myra and teju . After meeting them he told them about what hid father said to him .
Myra said that atleast she passed because she studied little bit one night before the exam but you were busy in watching movies and playing games.
And after that teju said that" ohhjii mai bhi pass ho gya "
But how much did u ,get teju asked .
U don't need to know, rudy replied him.
" Yrr par exam hum dete h or result parents ko bhej diya ye to galat baat hai na ", rudy said in a sarcastic way.
But i have to do something to pass the upcoming exam otherwise my father will cut my money .
"Ab to ek hi raasta h jii , bas mann lga kr thoda thoda pdhna start krdo " teju suggested rudy.
Yess rudy replied.
"Pdhne ke liye class mai bhi jana pdega and we are getting late for that so lets go,myra said.
In the class , when the teacher came, he said " u all get your results.
But I would like to call the names of the top three students of this class.
Rank 3 -priya kumari
Rank 2- shivam rathore
Rank 1- Aarohi singh
Give a big round of applause to them .
RUDY'S POV :
I was sitting in the class out of my mind,thinking about an idea to get atlest passing marks in next exam.
But i came to my senses when the teacher announced the name Aarohi singh.
I don't know how many names he announced but i was clearly listend only one name and that was
AAROHI SINGH and after that whole class applaused for them.
"Aagya idea"
To get good marks i have to study from the bottom and for that i need someone who can teach me .
" or ye jo mere left or right mai do bandar baithe hai inhe khud kuch nhi aata ,meri kya help karnge".
So,
Only she can help me,
only she can save my pocket money ,
Only she can teach me.
But for that i have to convince her.
After the classes, i saw aarohi going out of the class. So i told myra and teju that i have something to do and then i followed her .
She was sitting in the canteen with her friend priya. I directly went to them and said hello to both of them .
Priya said hyy to me but i was surprised a little bit because aarohi also said hello...!!
I ask them to sit with them .
Can u pls help me, i asked aarohi.
What , how?? She replied
Can u teach me for the next exam ?
If u want my help regarding any particular topic then i can
But for the whole syllabus i don't have time for that,she replied.
But pls i really need your help...
I said no , dont waste our time , i need to finish my lunch. So please leave.
She said.
After that i left and was standing in the corridor and thinking about to do something to convince her.
Suddenly i heard a voice , it was aarohi's .
She was talking to a teacher about some books that has only one copy in the library and teacher suggested her to practice questions from that books. So she need that book.
And again i got an idea.
I ran towards the library and issued that last copy of the book.
Then i was standing at the library door waiting for aarohi.
She came with her friend and they both saw me and then went inside the library.
Now i know she will come to me for that book after the librarian will tell her that i issued the book.
And exactly , here she came.
Did u issued that book . Can u give that to me for some days , she asked
NO, i have to study, i cant compromise
with my studies, i replied.
I think i was just lying about studies, thats why she gave me that confusing look.
But for one day atleast , she added.
No..!!
But there's one way u can get this book for forever,I suggested her.
What ,tell me, she asked.
U just have to teach me , that's it.
No i cant,She said.
Ok then its up to u, so I'm leaving now. But tell me if u change your mind and if u really need this book just come to me .
And then i left.
AAROHI'S POV~
I'm struggling to comprehend this boy's actions. Is he serious? Despite knowing he never studied, he issued book solely because I need it urgently. But now he expects me to tutor him in exchange, which I can't do. I'm in a bind because I desperately need the book. After a day of asking numerous students and teachers and searching online, I still couldn't find it. Eventually, I stumbled upon it at a bookstore, but the price was very hugh, making it impossible for me to purchase.
As I was returning to my room after dinner at the mess, the thought crossed my mind: maybe I can spare some time to teach him and retrieve the book from him.
On my way, I spotted him sitting with his friend on a bench at the park. I approached him directly and told him
Ohh Mister,I'll tutor you, and in return, you give me the book back. The timing will be decided by me, and you must arrive punctually when I call you. Agreed?"
Tomorrow, at 6 p.m., at the library, sharp. That's final," I firmly stated before leaving them alone and heading back to my room. Rudra simply replied, "OK." Deal done.
Author's pov~
When Aarohi was leaving Rudy was looking at her constantly. Suddenly Teju said , " bhai chali gyi vo ab to taadna band kr"
Taad nhi rha mai ....
"What's going on, Rudy? What about the book and why is she going to teach u you? I'm confused," Myra inquired.
Rudy responded, "Well, she's the only one who can help me to get good marks in the next exam, that's all there is to it. It's not a big deal, just focus on that."
Myra wasn't happy to hear that Arori would be teaching Rudy, but she realized she couldn't do anything because Rudy genuinely needed to study to improve his grades in the upcoming exam.
"Yeah, I understand, but just don't get too close to her or develop feelings for her or anything, alright?" Myra cautioned rudy.
Rudy quickly reassured her, saying, "Hey, don't worry. I'm not going to fall for her, you know that, right? She's not my type."
After that Rudy's phone rang, he answered it and hear a girl's voice. "Hello, who's this?" he asked. The girl responded, "Hi, am I speaking to Rudy?" Rudy confirmed, "Yes," and began chatting with her sweetly and start flirting with her.
Meanwhile, Teju inquired, "Who is she?" Myra speculated, "Probably just a new girl in this new city . He'll leave her after some time when he get bored."
The next day after classes and having lunch Aarohi headed to the library at 6 p.m. to teach Rudra. However, Rudra was late, and it was already 6:15. Growing impatient, Aarohi stepped outside to look for him. She spotted him standing with a girl and she was not myra, appearing to be getting too close and flirting with her. Angered by the sight, Aarohi stormed back into the library and started studying on her own.
At 6:30 pm rudy came to library and ask aarohi , what are we going to study today.
Aarohi looked at him with a expressionless face and said "aa gye aap mister"
Kyo kya huaa..
What do u think, am i a joke to u just because i need that book u cant just waste my time like this.
And sorry but now i can't tea h u anymore ; aarohi said in a deep voice.
Heyy I'm really sorry but "kuch kaam aa gya thha to vhi kr rha thha"
Apart from careless , u are also a lier . I saw u with that girl u were flirting with.
Rudy start looking at the floor because of embarrassment.
Then he said pls I'm really sorry it will never happened again. I'll cone 5 min before the time from tomorrow. I can assure u abut that.
And u also need that book right.
After that rudy took the book from his bag and gave it to aarohi.
Aarohi took a deep breath and said okk but this is the last time . U cant be late from now.
Then they both sat and aarohi start teching him. And rudra was just looking at her.
But after explaining , when rudy was unable to solve the question, aarohi said " zameen ke bahut neeche ho tum , uppar aane ke liye bahut mehnat krni pdegi"
I'll do anything u say , rudy exclaimed.
Aarohi saw the time and said just revise what i teach u today and I'll ask questions from this and if you'll not be able to answer then I'll stop teaching u . Understand.
OKK Ma'am , rudy replied.
Rudy added, I'm hungry lets go and eat something.
Ok..!!
They both went to the canteen .
After eating , rudy asked her to walk her to her room
She didn't said no this time.
On their way rudy asked aarohi , why u never said my name , "itna bhi bura nhi h "
Aarohi didn't answered him.
So rudy start making some funny faces and when aarohi looked at him she didn't control herself and start laughing.
"Haste huye bahut acchi lgti ho tum
Pls aise hi hasti rha kro," rudy said in a very sweet voice.
'One more thing , in the library u were angry because i was late or ,or u felt bad that i was flirting with that girl', rudy asked her with a smirking smile on his face..
After listening to him aarohi didn't answere that rather
she said we have reached so u can leave.
Okk good night , rudy said.
Hm good night .
Myra and Teju were their when aarohi and rudy were laughing, and she felt bad and some getting a feeling that rudy may start liking aarohi.
When rudy came to them , Teju asked
"Or kaisi rhi tuition class".
Theek thhi rudy replied.
"Bhai tu bda khush lg rha thha , aakhir kya baat chal rhi thhi" , teju asked again
Nothing, we were just talking about the test. Said rudy
I'm hungry lets go and eat myra exclaimed in anger.
But rudy said that he had already eaten. And asked teju to go with myra and eat .
Myra feel sad and get more angry on aarohi that she had start taking her best friend from him.
Now i have to go and study rudy said and left.
When teju ask myra abut dinner she shouted , " bhook nhi h mujhe tum jaao or kha lo "
And then she also left .
