Segment #4

TW: swear words, homophobic slur, violence

And suddenly, Aryan couldn’t breathe. As if those cruel sniping words had jumped out of the wall and gripped his throat. He knew he was gay. But never had another insult made him so ashamed of himself.

Last time Aryan felt this way was because of his own dad.

"Dad, please, just listen to me! I can’t marry Chahat. I can’t ruin her life knowing the truth.”

“No, we had promised the Joharis. Besides,” Sudhakar had continued in a cold quite voice, “this is exactly what you need. You are 17. I know what boys your age want.”

Aryan was disgusted. Did his dad take him for some pervert?

“Dad! She is my best friend. She would never be anything more. I have always had crushes on boys.”

“SILENCE!” Sudhakar roared. “Do you hear what you are saying, Aryan? Do you understand what this means? You will be treated like a vermin for the rest of your life. A homo is nothing but a man who would never man up. Either the wedding happens today, or I’ll forget that I have a son.”

The gravity of the words had hit Aryan making him feel the pain of losing a parent all over again. The wedding didn’t happen, and Aryan never saw his father for the last four years. Of course, Sudhakar continued to pay for his only son’s education, but the father-son bond was severed.

“You know, Saheel,” Vikram said loudly while Saheel looked visibly uncomfortable at being addressed, “When Aryan interrupted my date with Chahat, I thought he was jealous of me. But now I know, that he was jealous of Chahat. I mean, who knew, the popular Aryan Sareen was on Grindr!”

Saheel looked more uncomfortable while Vikram snickered. Aryan could bet that Vikram had something to do with the neon green words on the wall, but he couldn't fathom why he was dragging an innocent Saheel into this mess.

Meanwhile, Chahat had reached the cafeteria with her friends after her class. The scene that was unfolding before her clearly shocked her and she jumped to the defence of her best friend.

“Chuck off, Vikram! This is Aryan’s personal matter.”

Aryan became abashed with embarrassment. He had lied to his best friend and she was defending him. Maybe he should have come clean to her. But after how his dad had treated him, how could he trust anyone for that matter?

She continued, “But Vikram, why does it matter to you? Are you interested in him? By the way, how did you know that he has a Grindr profile? Unless you also…”

Saheel looked at Chahat and gulped.

“You switch!” Vikram raised his hand and turned towards Chahat to attack her. His ego had blinded him to the fact that he was about to inflict violence on a girl in public.

The crowd of students in the cafeteria was already recording a video in their phone.

“Not on my watch, you jerk!” said Aryan.

A blow landed on Vikram’s nose. He stumbled and fell to the ground. Vikram had no right to question Aryan or hurt his friend.

Chahat had tears in her eyes. They were best friends, he was almost going to get married to her and yet he didn’t trust her enough to tell her his truth. She began to slowly walked away but she stopped.

Professor Bansal was there. She had seen Aryan deliver a blow on Vikram's nose. Aryan was totally screwed.

“What is happening here?” Professor Bansal asked. Pin drop silence.

“Who damaged the college property in this way?" she asked again as she showed the cafeteria wall.

No one spoke a word.

“Fine. Don't say anything. Vikram, Aryan and Chahat meet in the dean's office now. I also want to talk to your parents.”

Aryan's dad hadn't seen him for the last four years. What would he tell?

Ok, I totally did not see it going this way in my head.. but I also kinda did, cos in my head I had a couple of options for the words that could be spray painted on the wall (which you cleverly dodged btw leaving it open for the next person! 😛).

I also had a few options in my head as to who the vandal could be...Let's see what Shibz does with this.

But as for the rest of the story.. I had this plot bunny (can I whisper it to you, Shibz? 😆) But it totally won't work now with T's segment! 🤣

Well done, btw. Your segment has all the drama and the build-up! 👏With Aryan's dad now coming into the picture! Shibz, take it away!

*tw: swearword*

Segment #5

Chahat was so angry that she was ready to kill. She waited for Professor Bhansal to leave and turned to yell at Vikram, but then she saw Aryan, just staring at the spray-painted word. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth to yell at everyone for staring at Aryan like he was some freak when Saheel spoke.

"Guys, the show is over, move along," He said and slightly nudged at a junior, who looked away.

Saheel looked at Chahat and then at Aryan. She nodded and held her friend's hand. He looked up at her, and Chahat's heart broke. He looked so lost, it was as if some other man was looking at her, not her Aryan.

"We should go. The dean must be expecting us," She whispered, and he nodded. Chahat glared at Vikram before she lead Aryan out of the cafeteria.

"You ok?" Chahat asked as they walked the long corridor, and he shrugged.

"I know you and your dad haven't spoken since..."

"I'll just soldier through, don't worry about it."

She squeezed his shoulder, and the two continued walking.

"Is it, is it true?" Chahat asked him. She knew it was a horrible time to ask, but she was curious and a little disappointed in him that he didn't trust her.

He nodded.

"I am sorry I didn't tell you."

"Hey, don't worry about it! It kind of stings that you didn't trust me, but coming out is a big deal. It takes a lot of courage."

"It's scary, to be honest," Aryan said. They stopped walking and sneaked into an empty classroom. He sat on the floor, and she leaned on the wall next to him.

"I will kick that bast*rd's ass!" She muttered to herself.

"Then it will be a pancake!' He answered with a small grin on his face. Chahat rolled her eyes. They looked at each other and laughed.

"I wish Dad didn't come. I can't face him. He said the word all those years ago, and I am so scared to face him," Aryan said after a few seconds and covered his face. Chahat sat next to him and hugged him.

He tried in his best friend's arms while she hugged him. When he was tired, he pulled away.

Before she could say anything, her phone pinged. It had been buzzing for a while now, but she had ignored it. Seeing her mom's name as the caller-id, she received it.

"Chahat, baby, are you ok? Your HOD called. She said something about you getting into a fight. She asked us to meet her tomorrow at noon."

"Mom, I am ok, but you'll have to come to college. I'll call you later."

"Ok, bye, love you." Kavya Johari disconnected the call when Aryan's phone rang.

"It's my dad," Aryan said, and passed her his phone. Chahat held his hands as he took a few deep breaths and answered the call.

He was going to hear his father's voice for the first time in four years.

Yess!! Go Chahat!! 🥳

Haye the drama ☺️ I am so here for it! 😉😆

I have a feeling I'm just about to fall in love with Prof Bansal? She saw a slap being inflicted, but her first qstn was about the vandalism. Sensible prof! 👍🏼

It kinda reminded me of Mcgonagall's "have a biscuit, Potter" moment.

aka the moment where I fell irrevocably in love with her ☺️

This was brilliant, Tia! 🔥🔥

Shibu, can't wait for your segment now
