Ties That Bind, Ties That Break2 Part 1
This is the season2 of my SS Ties that bind,ties that break.This is not the continuation of season1,but an alternative version of season1.This is suggested by my dearest friend Salley.This plot belongs to her.I just developed it into scenes using my imagination. Most of the scenes of this chapter are taken from season1 with slight changes.This is completely a family story without any love angle.
Thank you so much Sydell for the beautiful cover page.
Maths professor Raghav Jindal was teaching Maths to his children Rajveer,Kavya and Shaurya at home.
Raghav asked some formulas to Shaurya.Shaurya kept quiet while Rajveer said the formulas fast.
Raghav:Look how brilliant Rajveer is at Mathematics. But you can't even say a formula properly.Go and wash Rajveer's clothes.That's your punishment.
Raghav threw Rajveer's clothes including the undergarments at Shaurya's face.
Raghav:Wash them now.
Preeta:Raghav,what are you doing?
Raghav:Preeta,stay away from this.
Preeta:But I am his mother Raghav.
Raghav:This is between a Maths teacher and his student,not between a father and his son.So his mother should not interfere.
Preeta looked at Shaurya washing Rajveer's clothes helplessly.
The next day Raghav asked the same formulas to Shaurya.Shaurya said the wrong answer.Raghav took the cane and started beating him.Preeta,Rajveer and Kavya were crying.
Preeta:Please stop it Raghav.
But Raghav did not listen to Preeta.
Shaurya,Rajveer were Kavya were sitting together.Shaurya was making a small musical instrument with some tools.Finally it became successful and music started playing in it.
Preeta:It is so nice Shaurya.You have immense talent.
Shaurya smiled.
Shaurya started singing with the instrument.Preeta,Rajveer and Kavya were dancing.
Raghav came there along with his friend Ravinder who was the English teacher of Shaurya.The angry Raghav took the musical instrument and put it in a garbage cover.
Raghav:This should be destroyed.I am going to throw it in the waste disposal area.
All became sad.Shaurya started crying.
Ravinder:What are you saying Raghav?You should encourage Shaurya to make such things.He is do talented.
Raghav:First let him study.Do you know how how marks he scored for Maths?
Ravinder:Shaurya,how much did you score for Maths?
Shaurya:60.
Raghav:Just 60.But Rajveer scored 99.Even an ordinary worker's son in his class got 100/100 for maths.But Shaurya brought shame to a Maths Professor like me by scoring low marks.
Ravinder:So what?Nothing is going to happen if Shaurya doesn't score 100/100 for maths.
Raghav:The world is surviving because of maths.Those who cannot score well for maths is a big zero.
Everyone became dull.
Shaurya made a small machine.Raghav took it with him to dump in the waste disposal area making Shaurya upset.
Raghav met Ravinder.
Raghav:Ravinder,I want your help.
Ravinder:What help?
Raghav:Shaurya is getting low marks for all the subjects.
Ravinder:But he is getting pass marks.
Raghav:That's not enough.I want him to be a famous Mathematician like me.For that he should be failed in his 8th grade.You are his class teacher too.You exclude his name in the list of the students who passed the 8th grade.
Ravinder was shocked.
Ravinder:How can I do that when Shaurya is not such a bad student?He passes in all the subjects.
Raghav:Only if he fails he will be determined to work harder and score high marks.
Ravinder purposefully made Shaurya fail in 8th grade.
Shaurya was shocked to see his answer papers where even the correct answers were cut off by the teachers.He approached Ravinder in his house.
Shaurya:I wrote the answers which you taught me Sir.Then why did you cut it and make me fail?
Ravinder looked down as could not face him because of guilt.
Shaurya:Now onwards I won't study anything.
Ravinder was shocked.
Shaurya walked away.
Ravinder became upset.
The angry Shaurya burnt his school books and tore Raghav's clothes.
Raghav could not control himself.
Raghav:This much arrogant you are?How dare you burn your school books which are Saraswati Devi's assets?You destroyed your father's clothes also?
Shaurya:You are not my father.You are a monster.
Raghav boiled with anger:You talked to your father with disrespect.This much guts you have?
Raghav took the cane and beat him.
Shaurya was crying in his room.Preeta went near him.
Preeta:Shaurya!
Shaurya:Maa!
Shaurya hugged her and cried.
Shaurya:I don't want to study anymore Maa,I will not step inside the school again.
Preeta:Just to show anger towards your father and Ravinder Sir you decided to stop studying?
Shaurya:My so called Monster dad and my own teacher betrayed me.My monster dad wants me to score full marks on Maths.Right?But I will stop my studies itself to hurt him like he hurt me always.
Preeta:You are becoming rebellous beta.But if you stop studying to take revenge on your dad,it will only destroy your future.If you are uneducated not just your father,but the whole society will make fun of you which I can't tolerate as a mother.
Shaurya:But I want to defeat my dad.I can do that only by stopping my studies against his wish.
Preeta:You can hurt your dad like that.But you cannot win nor you can defeat him.If you really want to win,you should prove to your dad that you can also be successful in your life.For that you should complete your education Shaurya.
Shaurya:But I can never be good at Maths Maa.
Preeta:Who told you that you can't be good at Maths?You are already getting 60%.If you work a little more harder you can score better.Actually your father does'nt clear your doubts or teach you peacefully.Instead of doing that,whenever you ask him doubts he loses his temper and beats you.So you started hating Maths.That's why you are unable to study it well.If you get a good teacher,you will be able to score well in Maths.
Shaurya:Are you sure Maa?
Preeta:Yes Shaurya.Don't you trust me?
Shaurya:Yes Maa.I believe you.You have given me confidence.
Preeta smiled.
Preeta:I will take you to a good Maths teacher.But let it be a secret.Your father should not know about your tuition class.
Shaurya:Okay Maa.
Preeta took Shaurya to a Maths teacher.
