(Author's here :- To all the people who give hate to me for writing this genre of story.I request you to read the comments of my previous chapter - Chapter - 4 and you will understand what type of stories and genre my readers prefer.

Thankyou)

It was the orientation day for first years.

Sanjana received a call.

"Sanjuuu"

"Hi Abhi"

"Hii"

"So today is the first day of your college?"

"Yes"

"All the best"

"Thankyou...how's maa?"

"Doctors have said there are no signs of recovery"

"Hmm" she lowered her eyes.

"Okay bye talk to you later. Thanks for calling."

"You don't need to thank me Sanju"

"Still...take care Abhi....bubyee"

"Bye Sanju" Sanjana kept the call.

Talking to Abhijit, calms down Sanjana's mind she feels that there are people around her who care about her otherwise now she feels very alone. Before she had her parents whom she used to call at slightest inconvenience, she never thought there will be a point in life when her parents will leave their little daughter on her own. She always felt like a child - a pampered single child, who always received love from people.

She dismissed these thoughts and wore her clothes, it was first day of college.She wore a white ribbed polo top tucked into a high-waisted A-line denim maxi skirt, styled with a brown belt and matching shoulder bag which was large in size and kept her register copies and pens inside it.She wore short white socks and white sneakers.She tied her hair in a pony tail.It was a casual chic look.



Her hostel was inside her university.The distance between her department and her hostel was 2kilometres.The university has a huge campus - it spread in approximately 90 acres.

She went to admin block and got to know where first year classes will be held. She walked towards her classes but she saw students standing in queue. Her roommate was also standing in the queue.

"Dishana" she called her.

Dishana signalled her to come and stand in the queue. Sanjana stood in the queue behind.

Few boys and girls were standing on the stage.

"Welcome first years....we are your seniors and for the next five and a half years you are going to be in this institution....and MBBS is not a simple graduation...it's a dedication it's hardwork but some entertainment is also necessary in these five years so that when you look back your days are full of memories. When we were in first year our seniors held our hands and helped us in crossing the barriers that came out way...MBBS gives a lot of mental stress...clearing medical exams is a stress and after you get admission, for a month you feel you have achieved everything in life but as the days progress the real life begins, the mental stress hardwork doesn't end....but once you make it...you know you have achieved success in your life...so we as your seniors are ready to hold your hands and support you...you need your seniors in MBBS but but but...we won't leave you that easy...we want to test our legacy bearers...our seniors checked our toughness we will check yours....there are certain rules every first year needs to follow.....

RULE NUMBER 5. YOU WILL HELP US IN OUR PROJECTS...IF A SENIOR ORDERS YOU TO COMPLETE AN ASSIGNMENT YOU HAVE TO DO IT...YOU CAN'T DENY...THIS MAKES YOU STRONGER.

RULE NUMBER 6. YOU CAN CONTACT US ANYTIME FOR ANY NOTES ANY KIND OF HELP ANY DOUBT CLASSES WE WILL ARRANGE EVERYTHING FOR YOU.

RULE NUMBER 7. VOTE THE PERSON IN THE ELECTIONS WE ASK YOU TO VOTE FOR.

MALE JUNIORS WILL GET DISCIPLINED BY MALE SENIORS AND FEMALE JUNIORS BY FEMALE SENIORS RESPECTIVELY BUT YOU NEED TO RESPECT ALL YOUR SENIORS.

RULE NUMBER 9. NO COMPLAINTS REGARDING ANY DISCIPLINARIAN ACTIONS BY SENIORS WOULD BE REPORTED TO THE DEAN OR ANY OTHER HIGHER AUTHORITY. YOU COMPLAINT WE WILL TAKE THE PUNISHMENT BUT THEN YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR SENIORS SUPPORT.

AND FINALLY RULE NUMBER 10.

EVERY STUDENT HAS TO GO THROUGH DISCIPLINARIAN ACTIVITIES....LET'S START WITH YOUR INTRODUCTIONS.

The juniors understood seniors are going to start ragging.

"Sir my name is Kia Mehra"

"Stop...is this the way you address your senior with respect" a senior girl interrupted.

"First warning - stand on the stage and spin ten times and address us as respected sir and respected mam I apologise for my mistake"

The girl was scared but she stood on the stage and started spinning ten times repeating"Respected sir and respected mam I apologise for my mistake"

After that she was sent down and she stood on the stage and gave her introduction again.

All the first years were scared.

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Kia Mehra."

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Saumya Kumari."

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Aarushi."

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Mithila Akter"

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Sia Sharma."

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Sakia Alwadud"

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Anjali Sharma"

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Cristina Matei"

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Karishma Chaudhary"

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Shorna Sutradhar"

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Dishana Pandey"

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Anvi"

"Respected sir and mam my name is Shritaanjana Banerjee"

Shritaanjana didn't lift up her eyes but she saw seniors pointing at her. All the seniors were looking at each other talking in their own code language.

"Stand at a side" the senior girl said to her.

"Mam me?" She asked.

"Yes youuu stand at a side."

Shritaanjana stood beside.

In her mind she was thinking 'What am I ? A clown? In school also I was pointed out, now here too....'

"Miss we told you something...stand aside"

I stood aside. Slowly I noticed one more girl was standing beside me.

Then one more...slowly...four girls were standing all together in line...the mind of the girls was slowly striking - the girls who wore skirt were called out no other girl was called.

"Respected sir and respected mam my name is Kripashankar Mishra"

And everybody laughed listening his name. Even Sanjana thought who keeps this old fashioned name. The girl standing beside her said "Imagine someone has a husband named Kripashankar"

Sanjana heard this, she suppressed her laugh, she wanted to laugh badly but she knew it was a bad idea. The introduction was in the process everything was fine until a girl said "Respected sir and respected mam my name is Kripalini Sharma"

And this was the last thread, Sanjana ended up laughing along with others.

The seniors were laughing but suddenly the laughter stopped, everyone had stopped laughing but Sanjana couldn't control her laugh.

The senior girl raised her eyebrows and walked towards her,

"Aur zyada hansi aa rahi hai na?"

(You want to laugh more. Isn't it ?)

"Nahi mam"

(No mam)

"First warning it's respected mam"

"Sorry respected mam" she said quietly raising her eyes.

"Second warning you can't match your eye level to that of seniors."

The senior girl said.

"I didn't intend to do it mam"

"You have crossed your second warning...it's respected mam. Did you forget?"

All the juniors were traumatized if this is how the seniors are going to count the warnings all of them are under the truck.

"Swarna leave her today. But you remember be ready for disciplinarian action" a boy said it from behind.

"But Farhad??"

The other senior boy who was addressing the juniors also looked at his classmate and said to slow it down.

All the juniors were dismissed except the four girls who were wearing skirts.

"We never interrupt the engineering department then why are you interrupting us here in our disciplinarian action " Swarna asked Farhad.

"Let's hang out bro...why do you want to massacre them the very first day"

Swarna huffed "I have my classes" she said and "Skirts are not allowed for juniors...become a senior then wear skirt...come in kurti from tomorrow. You have come here for MBBS not fashion show."

She said and left.

Shritaanjana didn't lift up her eyes but she had tears in her eyes just at the brim but she controlled herself because she doesn't want to be called a cry baby.

"Hey are you okay?" That same boy who saved her asked her this question.

She hadn't seen his face her eyes were not lifting up.

"You can look into my eyes. I am not your MBBS senior."

She still didn't lift up her eyes.

She just nodded her head.

"Are you crying?"

She shaked her head in no.

Listening his question her tears flowed down.

The girls standing beside her saw it and immediately came to soothe her,they were rubbing her back wiping her cheeks.

"I am ok" she said very meekly.

She was already very vulnerable because of the situation she was dealing in her personal life and now this...she wanted the first day of her college to be peaceful but she didn't know peace was far from her reach.

*Flashback ends*

It's afternoon.

Sanjana was sitting quietly on the wheel chair and enjoying the view of the garden taking in the fresh air.

"Sanjanaa" he whispered in her ears.

"Yes Rana?" She turned back.

"Thankyouuuuu....thankyouuuu for the last night...you know this is so important for me."

"I know Rana...I know it's important for you....you don't need to carry the load of being a dom responsible man always....it's better to release yourself...and the way you relieved your mind today...I know you needed it."

"Yeahh I needed it in every possible way and you gave it to me in the best way...you just detoxed and cleared my mind."

"Rana I understand you(She cupped his face) it's not any shame for you to demand pleasure in the ways you like...your choice of sex is nobody's concern except me and you...when you say I own you then understand I really want to fulfill everything that you want, you need, you desire, you crave....I know I can never dominate you as much as you want but I hope you have detoxed yourself finally....cleared the clutter in your head...don't carry so much baggage." His eyes didn't leave hers.She whispered to him such that no-one else can listen to it except him.

"Jaan I love you so much...when you say I can share anything and everything with you....I can be myself with you, you give me exactly what I need even when your body doesn't support you...still you overdid yourself then why don't you share your feelings with me?" He whispered back.

He was saying these things very smartly he was playing with her mind again.He knows she won't express herself until he hits her right spots and makes her over emotional...he knows she gets most affected when he starts blaming and shaming himself.And that's how she will open up to him."Jaan I should kill myself for doing this to you. I am the reason of all your miseries." He said louder.

His words caught the attention of the Rathore and Sule family...they heard him saying this.

"Never say this again Rana.I share everything with you...I wrote nonsense on that paper...it really doesn't matter...it's my mistake I shouldn't think so much...you know I am such an idiot, if a woman is successful there are people who will want to be like her or be successful like her but everyone doesn't have that quality...Priya has achieved it through her hardwork and dedication and she deserves every bit of it. My insecurity about myself is nothing major, any woman will get insecure from a woman like her. I am not jealous, my own incapabilities are the reason of my insecurity. Nothing else...no one else should be blamed for it, Priya is your friend, you have many female friends and obviously a person will chit chat with other people in their surroundings...you are a businessman, a top leading businessman and Priya or Debina or any other woman is just your friend...I am a disappointment, you or anybody else isn't at fault so please stop punishing yourself for something you aren't at fault.My failures are the reasons of my insecurity and my unhappiness, not you or anyone else.Please just ignore that paper I am so stupid, idiot, toxic to write such things about people who have never wanted anything wrong for me and I am sorry I understand I am at fault...I, I should be mindful of what I do I am sorry I didn't consider your feelings and your emotions...you have gone through a lot and my reaction towards everything happening is so immature. I will apologise papa I know it's my mistake...I..I understand and I mean it when I say if you ever decide to end our marriage, I want you to find a better woman than me someone like Priya or Debina or someone else who truly deserves you...you deserve so much more than I give you, I am incapable to give it to you...I even struggle to speak in front of others...I stutter...Rana, you are the King (she kissed his cheeks), you were born to be a King, raised to be a King, you were born to rule but I am not born to be a Queen, I am not raised to be a Queen, I don't have qualities of a Queen, maa has it, Sana has it, Sana is just scared to be out but once she comes out of her nutshell she will be the best, Aarya is born to be a Queen...I am so incapable of even thinking about standing beside you.I don't want this position, power anything but for you - to flourish and be protected, you need a woman who is strong headed, strong minded and capable of standing beside you as the Queen...I love you but for how many days will you carry me, I don't want to be a liability on you, it's very suffocating for me to see you struggling and not able to do anything instead becoming a problem for you...the least I can do is take care of myself and I am not even able to do that...I want you to grow, to find peace, to find stability, people love you but they are against you because of me, your family was against you, you take care of my mother. What else do I need? You need to understand that in the longer run I am not the best choice for you...I will raise Ranveer but I am not strong enough to hold you, support you, match your grace and your status. What people used to say in school and college is not wrong, I am a limp, a physically disabled person, you can even call me mentally retarded...I am not capable of standing beside you, if you ever walk out of this marriage I won't be surprised, I know you will try to give me your best, but for how many days can you love a ditz like me, you need someone who understands you and your work. I am such a bimbo, you are feeding a person like me, an airhead, you need an intelligent, sensible, wise, genius, clever yet loving woman.You don't need me in your life to be honest. The amount of hate I receive is justified, there's nothing wrong in it. And I am saying all this practically, I am not emotional, I am saying all this after giving it much thought, you don't need a person like me in your life...your life is already so complicated, so difficult, my interference in your life will create problems for you. I am not suitable for you, just loving you unconditionally isn't required to be with someone, I love you but if my love does not bring peace and sanity in your life then my love is dangerous for you and not healthy. I am a problem for you, I create problems for you, "

Ranvijay was quiet just listening to her, the words that she was using for herself, all those words came out of his mouth, he remembers it, he remembers calling her all that...very clearly, he remembers calling her an idiot, stupid, mentally retarded...he remembers.

"How much does she love him?She almost gave her life for him. And still she has the strength to tell him why he should leave her" Mriganka uttered.

"Or may be she has been weakened so much by the man she loves that she has lost the ability to see her strength. She has lost the power to see her own strengths. She doesn't know why her husband doesn't leave her but she knows why he should leave her. She has been mocked so many times that the only thing she sees is her weakness. She has never been appreciated for her strengths but she has been targeted every time for the wrongs she did." Aarya replied and everybody looked at her , the gravity of the words she spoke sinked deep in their heart.

Sanjana - I am sorry for everything you go through on a daily basis because of me. I am so worthless but you are the best.

She kissed his cheeks again.

Ranvijay - Hmm...

Sanjana kept her head on his shoulders. His eyes were on her.

"Sanjanaaa"

"Hmm" she lifted her head looking at him. "Do you need something?" She asked but he didn't reply to anything instead he turned away his face.She followed his gaze and looked at the clock. "It's lunch time...you and others must be hungry...maa and Sana have to take medicines...come, you also have your lunch. I will ask others to take their meals on time."

"You sit...what are servants for!!!"

"When servants call them all of them ignore them, if servants will ask them multiple times everyone shouts at them, until I go and call everyone, no one comes for lunch."

She pressed the button on the wheel chair to move but he switched it off.

She looked at him questioning his action.

He picked her up in his arms "Chalo!! Sath me bulane chalte hain sabko"

(Let's go..we'll call everyone together)

"Aise?"

(Like this?)

"Yesss" he said huskily and bit her nose with his teeth.

As he took five steps they saw their entire family moving here and there as if they were hiding something.

"Let's have lunch together" Ranvijay announced.

"Let's eat on the floor today, only the family no servants just the family." Mriganka suggested.

"Alright" Ranvijay agreed and the servants were ordered to move outside the hall and enjoy their lunch. All the family members gathered to enjoy their time. Sanjana was arranging plates for everyone like a responsible home maker she has always been, Mriganka's parents were highly impressed by Sanjana. When Digvijay brought Sana she also started arranging plates along with Sanjana. She was serving vegetables. Mriganka picked up roti to serve but Sanjana took it from her hands telling her to sit comfortably. All of them in their minds thought how dutiful both of them are and how they have been sacrificing their desires for being acceptable. Vijay was feeling very guilty. Sanjana gave the plate to Sana but Sana kept it aside saying

"I will eat with you bhabhi"

And their mind struck that they hadn't served themselves. They don't normally eat with them together. Everyone in the family eats firstly and then both the girls are separately inside the kitchen whatever was ordered to be served to them, if punished by their husbands they didn't get the normal meal that everybody in the family ate. They served their food to themselves separately - a food that Rathore's will never even feed to their dogs.

Apsara - Bhabhi I will eat with you.

Sanjana - No no beta you eat your meal. I will eat after everyone eats.

Vijay - Aarya

Aarya - Yes papa.

Vijay - Serve your bhabhis (sisters - in - law)

Aarya nodded her head and she served them.Mriganka helped her.

Everyone started eating. Digvijay took chapatis from Sana's plate and kept in his. He was feeding one bite to her and the other one to himself. He knew Sana cannot eat it with her own hands. He was feeding her properly.

Sanjana was eating, when Mriganka's mother choked on her food and started coughing. Everyone was looking at her ordering the servants to bring a glass of water but no servant was present...by the time they were ordered Sanjana stood up and took the jar of water from the table and served her in the glass.

She stumbled a little while walking.

Ranvijay held her hand from behind.

"Beta why are you standing?" Mriganka's mother said it was out of concern. "You please take a rest."

She again sat down on the ground with Ranvijay's help.She was eating very slowly, serving everyone.She didn't start eating rice because she was aware that she has to serve rice to everyone. And after she served rice to everyone and when everyone almost ate after refilling their plates with rice, she served herself knowing that now no one will take the rice. She served herself. And then started eating. Her every small action was observed by Vijay and he also carefully observed how Sana started eating rice only after Sanjana started eating the rice otherwise she was eating slowly. He saw how Sanjana was observant of who needs what in the plate, before they could ask she was serving them what they need.

And Sana was vigilant and saw what Sanjana needed.

Everyone was talking to each other about something or the other randomly. One more thing he noticed was Sanjana's mother Keenu was watching that her daughter gets what she loves. Keenu took out bananas from her custard specifically and put it in her daughter's custard so that she could enjoy it. He saw the mother's love - his mother used to do the same with him. Vijay remembered how Samragini fed him with love and care especially those dishes that he loved.

After eating food, all the dishes Sanjana was picking up but Mriganka strictly ordered her to sit.Servants were called in and ordered to clean the space. What Vijay realised is

'Sanjana and Sana don't know what their position, power and status mean to the outside world.They are daughters in law of Rathore's and most importantly the Queens. They have been wronged but whatever it is...they will learn and he will make sure they learn'

After lunch Aahana said -

"Samy let's play ludo"

"I don't want to play it...what fun do you get in ludo" Sameer replied boringly.

"Just because you lose doesn't mean it's not a fun game"

"Achaa...forgot last time how I defeated you thrice"

"That happened just once...why do you forget when I defeat you"

"Oo c'mon I don't play these silly games"

"What whatttt!!! C'mon now you will play let's see how many times you win"

Aahana and Samrat were in a silly argument and Aaryanka ran and brought Ludo for playing.

"Aahana beta it's a long history none of the men in this house win in Ludo" Archi supported Aahana.

"See (she stuck her tongue out) aunty knows"

"Ayy kuch bhi"(Ayy what rubbish) Vijay said looking at his sister.

"Kuch bhi kya!? I am telling the truth bhai"

(What rubbish!? I am telling the truth bhai)

"Do not lie Archi"

"I am not lying remember how you stole one token of mine so that I think my all four tokens are in the game....when I had three tokens in, and I was wondering where is my last token you dropped it on the floor secretly and said 'Archi one of your token was fallen down' you cheated"

"So?? That's not my mistake you should be attentive enough to notice one of your token is missing. She was celebrating like this." He showed everyone by clapping his hands and pumping his elbow up and down in excitement, like a victory dance. "After I showed her the token, she started whining that you are cheating and you are a cheater just like Aarya does"

"When did you see me playing?" Aarya asked offended.

"Why ? You, Farhad, Sameer and Sana were playing carom, I saw how you were whining"

"Exactly!!yayyy papa is on my side" Sameer took the opportunity to prove his point.

"Listen don't celebrate too much...it is almost a year when we played carom..." Aarya said but in the back of her mind she was very happy that her father noticed her and he remembers that a year back what she played and what was her reaction."Lets play ludo.."

"Aarya I am in your team" Archi said.

"Yes bua we are in the same team"

"I am also in your team" Aahana said.

"#TeamParayaDhan" Sameer joked.

(#TeamOutsiders)

[Paraya Dhan term reflects the patriarchal mindset where daughters are thought to be eventually married off and seen as part of their husband's family.]

"Ewww #YouthIcon" Aahana replied back to Samrat offended with his remark.

"#DhartiPeBojh" Aaryanka supported Aahana.

(#BurdenOnEarth)

"Awww offend ho gaye? Game me apna dikhana"

(Awww got offended? Show your strength in the game) He teased them knowingly.

The war between brother and sisters was on.

Vijay was with Samrat in his team. Mriganka and Anamika decided to not play and be a spectator. They were busy admiring their grandchildren.Sana was sitting quietly and she was in half - sleep.Digvijay told her to sleep but she denied. He was in the game and took Apsara in his team and Sana had taken her medicines so she was on the verge of sleeping but she wanted to watch the game that's why Digvijay pulled her carefully in his arms laying her comfortably on his lap.

Sanjana was sitting quietly watching them.

Farhad entered the scene and greeted everyone. He joined the game too and took Sanjana in his team.

Digvijay - Bhai you play with Apsara. Charvi has woken up from her sleep and Sana has slept. I need to see her.

Mriganka gave Charvi to Digvijay and his daughter was crying for milk. So he picked up Sana in his arms carefully and placed her on the sofa. They were playing on the backside of sofa so Sana wasn't visible to them. He carefully pulled down her gown that she was wearing pulled down her bra and brought his daughter and placed her mouth above her mother's bosom and like a practiced toddler that she now was...she easily found her mother's warm nipples and started sucking the milk. Digvijay was carefully watching both of them but his eyes were also in the game.

The game had started.

"You just see Apsara...how we will win...V for Victory" Ranvijay boasted.

"There are only boasters in this game...no real players." Mriganka remarked sarcastically listening to the constant banters between her family.

Sanjana and Farhad's luck was not favouring them. All the other teams had their tokens outside the home except Sanjana and Farhad's team and once when their one token was out, Ranvijay strategically cut their token and they were back home. Ranvijay was teasing them badly.Farhad got a call so he stood up to talk..

Ranvijay - Sour losers leave the match.

Farhad - Last time someone was clean bold on my full toss ball.

Farhad teased him back.

"Full toss pe out ho gaya tha tu...lanat hai" (You got out on a full toss...what a shame!) Vijay said in a mocking tone.

Ranvijay - Ek baar..bass ek baar...

(Only once..just once..)

Farhad - Bhaiya bass ek baar out hue hain ye full toss pe?

(Bro, he only got out once on a full toss ball.)

Digvijay - Abee bhool jata hai yaad dilana padta hai...bhaiya tu yaad kar ek run pe out hua tha tu ek baar

(Man, he forgets so easily, we have to remind him...he was out on just one run once)

Ranvijay - Aur yaad hai meri century...ye aaya tha(pointing Farhad) yorker dalne, wide ball daal kar gaya aur tu aaya tha bouncer daalne chakka itna zor ka padaa tha mera ball tak nahi mili thi.

(And remember my century...this guy (pointing at Farhad) came to bowl a yorker, ended up giving a wide ball, and you came to bowl a bouncer. My hit was so powerful that even the ball was not in sight.)

Digvijay - Haa kyuki out ho gaye the.

(Yeah, because you got out.)

Ranvijay - Haan haan koi bhul jaata hai...cheh ball pe cheh chakka

(Yeah yeah, some people forget... six balls, six sixes.)

Ranvijay reminded Digvijay of the match when he hit six sixes in an over and the bowler was Digvijay.

Digvijay - Usi ek baar ko baar baar batate ho.

(And you keep talking about that one time.)

Ranvijay - Kaise ek baar basss?

(How is it just one time?)

Farhad to Ranvijay - Ek do baar century maare hain utne me hi bada ban rahe...

(You have hit one or two centuries, and already acting like a big shot...)

Farhad and Digvijay teamed up against Ranvijay in teasing him.

Ranvijay - Aree jaa jaa sour losers. Agle match me dekhta hoon dono ko.

(Oh, go away, sour losers. I will see you both in the next match.)

Farhad - Bhabhi game sambhal lijiyega (Bhabhi, please handle the game properly.)

Ranvijay (teasing Farhad) "Sanjana play the way you are playing...bahut tees maar khan player chor kar gaye ho" (looks like you have left a smart player behind.)

Everyone giggled including Sanjana because in the position their team was..it was impossible for them to win.

By luck Sanjana got a six and she opened her token. All the other three teams were behind each other.

Archi, Aaryanka and Aahana's (AAA) token was hoti cut by Vijay and Samrat's token, as the father-son were progressing inside the home traingle. Aarya rolled the dice got a six and the exact token that was hoti cut by them was out from its home. But Vijay and Samrat were relieved because the token was far from them and even if they get one from the dice they will be in the safer zone but it's ludo. Aarya rolled the dice and got a six and two and she cut Ranvijay and Apsara's token.

Ranvijay - Abeee yarrr

Aarya was awarded with one more chance for hoti cut, she rolled the dice. Vijay and Samrat praying it shouldn't be number three and the number on the dice was number three she smoothies glided her token cut their token and then started slowly caps. She got one more chance and it was a number five now. Sanjana's two tokens were out, after many attempts she had another token out but it was washed away by Aarya's token. Everyone started clapping for Aarya and she took the praise.

"Ladki baazi maar gyi" Digvijay praised her.

(Girl stole the show)

"Akhir beti kiski hai!!" Vijay said laughing.

(Afterall whose daughter is she!!)

"Meri" Mriganka gave her sassy reply.

(Mine)

"Kismat isko kehte hain" Ranvijay said.

(This is called luck!)

They continued the game, Sanjana's all tokens were outside home finally rest of the teams already had three tokens inside the home traingle. Sanjana rolled the dice and got a five.

She saw she could cut Ranvijay and Apsara's token and she thought to do so but Ranvijay said "Meri goti kategi?"

(Will you cut my token?)

And even after choosing to cut his token she kept the token back and played another token and did not cut his token. Everyone gasped and smacked their head, "WHYYYYYY" Vijay was surprised.

"Pagal ladki, katna tha uska goti, game hai"

(Mad girl, you had to cut his token, it's a game)

"No problem"

Ranvijay facepalmed himself and Vijay rolled the dice this time he got a five his all other tokens were inside the home triangle so he had to make the move even though he didn't want to make it, Sanjana's token was cut and she was back home.

Aaryanka, Aahana and Archi won the match teasing their brothers. Ranvijay and Apsara were second, Vijay and Samrat were third and Sanjana and Farhad were fourth, just as the game ended Farhad came inside "Who won??"

"The one and only - ....." Aarya said flipping her hair back.

"Farhad you play along with Apsara. Is it okay Apsara?" Apsara nodded her head at Ranvijay's question. In the entire game, no one heard her voice because she always sits quietly and keeps a smile on her face.

Ranvijay came and sat beside her, he shifted Sanjana in front of her and wrapped his right hand around her waist and pulled her back to his frame, she was smoothly in his warmth, he covered her in his shell. He placed a kiss on her temple and then her right cheeks.

All of them witnessed the sight. Sanjana's cheeks were red and she had a subtle smile on her face.

They were playing the game.

The dice was rolled by Sanjana as he asked her to roll the dice. He was playing the tokens. He kissed her palm by which she was rolling the dice. And she was comforted in his embrace more and more.....

"Bhabhi you cheated on me...while you were playing with me no sixes were coming and now your every other dice number is six" Farhad complained.

"Bhaiya it wasn't intentional."

"Don't be a jealous man Farhad" Ranvijay teased him again.

"Jealous?? Bhabhi remembered!!! someone else was jealous of me. He is still the same."

Ranvijay gave him a deadpan look and Sanjana giggled...they remembered their college...

*Flashback begins*

Farhad took her to the canteen with him and she broke in tears. He had tissue in his hands and he was passing it to her while she was crying. She wiped her tears, after five minutes she was normal.

"Thankyou" she said politely.

"It's fine. Do you want to drink tea or coffee?"

"No..thankyou"

He had

After a minute, he asked "Do you want to eat paneer paratha?"

She looked up, "Do you know Rana?"

Farhad made an amused face..."Who??"

"N..n...nothing" she stuttered and replied. She stood up, took her bag and said "Thankyou" Farhad tried stopping her but she walked outside the canteen. She went inside an empty classroom and started taking deep breaths. She was rubbing her chest and calming down herself.

In the present, Ranvijay was moving the token and after that he was rubbing her chest warmly, calming her down, as if he was reimagining that moment and wanted to be there with her but he couldn't be...how can he be present there when he was the one planning against her.

In the flashback, Sanjana calmed down herself and moved outside the class. She searched her class and sat inside for her very first lecture. She studied everything with concentration and she wrote everything in her notebook. She had to buy books but she saw there's no money left in her account because her father has withdrawn the money. She called Abhijit in the evening.

"Abhi.."

"Yes Sanju how was your first day?"

"It was okayish"

"Means?"

"It was fine...I attended my lectures"

"Alright..."

"Abhi"

"Yes..."

"I have to buy books and there's no money in mh account. Can you please lend me some money?"

"Ofcourse Sanju why are you asking like this... everything that is mine is yours"

"Thankyou very much"

"You don't need to thank me"

In three hours, ten thousand was transferred in her account by Abhijit. She planned to buy her books tomorrow. In mess, she was eating her dinner, the quality of food is good.

She ate her food, the seniors troubled the juniors a little bit nothing much they did more than introduction between different departments.

Sanjana was in her room lying on her bed and she slept. There was no improvement in her mother's condition. She was still in a coma. Her mother had 45% heart blockage and that's when Sanjana decided she will become a heart specialist. Her aim was to become a cardiologist now. She wanted to take away her mother's pain. She received a call from an unknown number at ten thirty she picked it up panicked thinking maybe its from the hospital but her expressions changed after the call. She was called to record a song. She told them that she can't come to Mumbai, they agreed upon recording the song in Delhi as they had their studio in Delhi too. Next day she went to college, she was attentive and followed all the rules of her seniors. She had worn a red kurti and blue jeans. Her hair tied in ponytail. She had a simple look, she attended her classes, sat quietly in class. Some girls tried to talk to her and she talked to them.. knowing each other...

After two days, she went to record the song and stayed at Abhijit's apartment as recording was till nine at night and her hostel premises close at 7:00 in the evening and open at 6:00 in the morning.

Abhijit had given Sanjana a separate room but he was in Sanjana's room talking to her. She was lying on the bed and slept due to tiredness and he laid beside her and slept hugging her.

They were in deep sleep. In the morning, when Sanjana opened her eyes she saw Abhijit sleeping beside her, hugging her tightly. Abhijit's eyes opened and he looked in her eyes,

"Good morning Sanju"

"Good morning Abhi"

"Sanju..."

"Hmmm"

The air between them was warm and intoxicating. Sanjana needed someone at that moment to be emotionally available for her because all the people on whom she was emotionally available had gone far from her and there was an emotional void in her. And now after two years of running behind a boy, who didn't even look back once, who wants to kill her father, she wanted to give another man a chance in her life...Abhijit was beside her supporting her from day one...and she didn't find anything wrong in giving a chance to the man who was her fiance....their lips came closer, their breaths mingled and he asked

"Do you want to?"

"Yes"

And their lips gently touched each other, their lips moved in a symphony and they moved ahead in their relationship...Abhijit was not just her friend now, he was her fiance in true sense. She gave her life another chance. He smooched her neck and she tilted her neck giving him the access.

After fifteen minutes, Sanjana went to take her bath. Her heart fluttered with different emotions, she felt she cheated on Ranvijay but at the same time she knew it was her past. She didn't deny that she felt good, she felt loved and cared after a long time. Though it wasn't what Ranvijay gave her, but even this was different - it was awkward in the starting because she was kissing her childhood friend who is her fiance now but she felt accepted.

She went to her college, attended her classes and followed the rules. When she was leaving from her class she crossed paths with Farhad. She stopped looking at him and he stopped for her.

He asked "Are you alright?"

"Yes thankyou for that day"

"Nevermind"

"SANJUUUU" she heard and looked in front finding Abhijit at the entrance of the college gate.

"Brother?" He questioned her already knowing who he is but no one knew he is her fiance.

"Umm...noo...he is my fiance."

She said, smiled, waved him bye...she went to Abhijit and for a particular SOMEONE the time slowed down, those two minutes she was in front of his eyes were difficult to bear, he saw her talking to him, her hands slightly touched his, she laughed with him, he held her hands and she didn't resist. She also held it. She sat inside his car and they drove off.

Farhad looked up on the third floor of the building of the engineering department - Ranvijay Singh Rathore sitting with his group of friends, his predatory eyes were fixed on that girl,

"Bhaiya we need to eliminate this Abhijit for you to be closer to this girl"

"Hmm"

Farhad walked towards him. Ranvijay raised his eyebrows asking him what did he find?

"He is not just her boyfriend. She said he is her fiance" Ranvijay nodded his head, he was full of hate and in the phase of taking revenge but from inside his heart shattered completely. He didn't express his emotions but he was affected by this new piece of information.

Two girls were talking looking at the couple "You know this junior girl her name is Shritaanjana, she lives with her fiance, her room mate told me that she stayed last night in his apartment and they shared a kiss. Shritaanjana had told her roommate Dishana after she insisted her to tell."

"Haww...these juniors are only enjoying their college lives we are just writing projects." Ranvijay, Farhad and his friends heard this. Ranvijay's heart dropped, he felt like he can't breathe, 'She kissed him? How could she? He must have kissed her forcefully. Sanjana can't do this.' but then his mind went to flashback and he remembered how comfortably she held his hand..............

And the reality of the situation sinked in..............................................

His palm fisted.

"Leave everyone...Farhad stay"

Everyone left....Farhad stayed.

"Mine to love, mine to destroy" he said and stood up.

Farhad saw the possessiveness, the jealousy, the intensity of his emotions in his eyes...........................................

"Don't get too close to her, maintain the damn distance I warned you to maintain" he said to Farhad.

Farhad just nodded his head, he was among the very few people who knew Ranvijay Singh Rathore's weakest, most vulnerable spot.......that girl wasn't just a mere pawn in the revenge battle she was the Queen, Farhad understood....Farhad found the same emotions in Ranvijay's eyes that he has in him for his Zamanaaaa.

"Give me her roommate Dishana's contact...."
