Hello all wonderful people in WH forum,

This story is about my favourite couple in Warrior High...our adorable Vibharth / ParVi.

Synopsis : Our favourite teacher, Vibha Anand is getting engaged. Everyone seems to be super happy about it. Well, almost everyone, except for a special someone who is grumpier than usual.😳

A rainy night. A drunken confession...and all hell broke loose.😆

Happy reading guys.

Scar-Heart (prologue)

"Good morning, class." Vibha greeted everyone before gesturing them to sit down.
"Good morning, mam." the class replied in unison

Vibha was looking her usual cheerful self. Her pink and white kurti blending perfectly with her peach and cream complexion.

Her eyes swept over all the familiar faces, before being locked into another pair of dreamy eyes.

Parth's intense gazed bored deeply into hers, and she felt the familiar flutter in her heart.

She tore her eyes off him and focused on the textbook lying open in front of her.

She just wanted to hide the blush creeping up her cheeks now.

"Today, we will start chapter 10. Neeti, could you read the first paragraph for all of us?" she gave the girl an encouraging smile.

Neeti stood up with the book in her hand. She was about to open her mouth when another voice interrupted her.

"Hello Vibha, mind if I interrupt the class for a few minutes?"

Vibha looked up to see Rishabh standing at the doorsteps. A mysterious smile was playing on his lips.

Vibha's heartbeat accelerated. She could see something coming,but she couldn't fully apprehend it and it made her nervous.

"Sure, Rishabh. Please go ahead." she gestured him to proceed. The knotted feeling in her heart was a few notches tighter though.

"Guys and girls, I apologize for cutting in like this, but I would like to share a news with all of you. As you know, I have always treated you like my friends, and with whom else can I share one of the happiest moment of my life, if not with my friends?" Rishabh smiled fondly.

The buzzing noise in the classroom grew louder. The students could barely contain their excitement. Neeti dropped to her seat, her eyebrows raised almost to her hair line.

"Well, the news that I want to share with my 'Warrior High family' is..." Rishabh paused for effect, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "I am getting married, guys." he yelped like a kid himself.

"Yes, I am getting married to one of the most beautiful girls around...and the girl is standing right beside me. She is none other than your Vibha mam. The lovely Vibha Anand." Rishabh wrapped his arm around Vibha's shoulder, bringing her closer to him. His face lit up with a bright smile.

A shell-shocked Vibha stood transfixed to the spot as all the students rose to their feet and gave them a standing ovation.

She couldn't even force herself to look at Rishabh. She didn't know what to tell him.

Yes, it was true that Rishabh proposed her a few days back. He wanted to take her to meet his parents. He even went on to say that they are perfect for each other.

Honestly, Vibha liked him too. He was a genuinely caring guy; honest, simple and kind-hearted. Even dadi seemed to be fond of him. "Learn to accept the unconditional love life is offering you, beti. It's very hard to find someone who truly cares...and this boy does care for you, Vibha. Don't let him go." she said.

...but till now, Vibha hadn't reciprocated his feelings. She was taking her time, till today when he suddenly decided to show up like a proverbial 'prince charming' and declared his immortal love for Vibha in front of a roomful of teenagers.

*What if Anwesha mam found out about this proposal and decided to 'join the fun' by suspending both of us?* a fleeting thought crossed her mind.

"Rishabh, what is this?" she hissed in his ear, all the while trying to maintain the awkward smile on her face.

"Well, dadi called just now. She has fixed a date for our engagement. It's next Friday...and I couldn't wait to tell you!" his ear-splitting grin reminded her of a child who had just got a candy.

She felt a tiny pang of guilt and sorrow in her heart. Maybe she should let it go and feel as happy as him. After all, everyone would've come to know about it anyway. It was just a matter of time!

Is it what it really feels like...to get married to the man of your dreams?

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake the feeling of melancholy from her heart. She glanced at the crowd, her eyes seeking solace in the familiar pair of midnight black eyes.

When she finally met them, all the light in them was gone. Those orbs stared back at her with the blank coldness of a dead star.

Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for the positive response towards my story. Here's the next part for you all. Do share your views about it. All feedbacks are welcome.

Check out the prologue here before moving on with the story.


Scar-Heart : Chapter 1

"Parth, bro, kya hua hai tujhe? Why are you not coming for dinner?" Utkarsh was positively alarmed. "Tabiyat toh thik hai na tera?"

"I am fine, Utkarsh. Don't wait up for me. Just go and have your dinner." Parth shifted to one side and pretended to fall asleep.

"Bro you are scaring me, you know. It's been three days since you attended English class. Vibha mam was asking about you." the concern in Utkarsh's voice was palpable.

Vibha. Mam.

Those two words were enough to set Parth's already raw nerves on fire. He wished he could erase that name from his memory forever.

She is going to be someone else's. She could never be with him.

The thought made him want to scream till his lungs gave up. It made him want to...run away somewhere and never return.

It made him want to DIE.

He bit his tongue hard to keep himself from screaming, or sobbing. That didn't stop the steady flow of bitter, salty tears rolling down his cheeks though.

A few moments of silence passed between the two friends. Finally Utkarsh gave up and headed for the canteen, assuming parth's silence as a symbol of a peaceful slumber.

******************************************************************************************
She was dressed in a beautiful red 'lehenga', looking ethereal in the bridal getup.

Parth couldn't take his eyes off her. A diffused golden light seemed to adorn her gorgeous face.

She looked into his eyes. Her lips trembled.

"Parth." she whispered softly.

Parth stretched his arms expectantly, trying to touch her.

There was something delicate, something intangible about the moment. Like one wrong movement and it will break into a thousand pieces.

Before he could take her in his arms, there was someone else.

A faceless shadow dragging her away from him.

Parth wanted to run. He desperately wanted to save his beloved, but it was too late.

He couldn't even move a muscle. She was gone before he could stop it.

"NO...NO..Please DON'T...LEAVE ME. COME BACK. COME BACK." Parth's scream echoed in the empty space.

The room seemed to be closing on to him. He couldn't breath. He couldn't breath...

Darkness was washing over him, before he jerked out of this nightmare with a final painful wail.

It was a dream.

He must had cried himself to a fitful sleep, but the feeling bottled up in his subconscious couldn't leave him alone even in his slumber.

Parth ran his fingers through his hair wearily.

"Gosh I need some air." he murmured and straightened himself up on the bed.

There is only one place where he could go right now.

*********************************************************************

It was 8.30 at night. Vibha was sitting at her favourite spot - the wooden chair beside the large lamp in the library.

A half read novel was lying open on the table in front of her. It was her favourite book- 'The sense of an ending' by Julian Barnes; but tonight she was hardly in the mood to read anything.

In fact, she didn't know what she was doing in the Library at such an hour. The only thing she knew that being surrounded by the books gave her an odd sense of comfort.

It was like being with your best friends.

She wondered whether her increasing inability to understand human behaviour was forcing her to spend time with inanimate objects like books.

Take, for example, Parth's inexplicable behaviour since the very public announcement of her wedding. It was the third time in a row that he had missed her class, and she already felt like a part of her life was gone.

She pondered whether the absence of a certain student should make that much difference to a teacher's life; but he wasn't JUST ANY STUDENT, was he?

Behind her, someone cleared his throat loudly. Vibha almost jumped with shock.

"Did I just bring back the fairy princess to the mortal world?" Rishabh had a pleasant smile on his face.

"Rishab, what are you doing here?" Vibha tried to ignore the uneasy feeling in her heart.

Why can't she be normal around her would-be spouse, just for once! She cursed herself inwardly.

"Watching my beautiful bride-to-be dwelling in her dream land...and hoping for an invitation to join her." He winked merrily.

"Oh, ya, right! Well, you can have a seat if you want. It's a library. It's open to all." Vibha tried to sound casual. "Feel free to grab a book, but make sure you enter your name in the register."

"Well, I was hoping for a tour of the library. After all, being the library mam's fiancee should count for something." Rishabh stretched his hand out for her.

After a few moments hesitation, Vibha took it.

************************************************************************************************

Parth entered the library and quietly closed the door behind him.

It was well past bedtime. Even a harmless trip to library could land him in detention.

As soon as he stepped inside, the brightly lit lamp and the half opened novel on the table caught his attention.

Clearly, someone was here minutes ago, but he couldn't see anyone.

His brows furrowed in confusion. If it was Urmila mam or Kamini jee, he could be in trouble.

Just when he was contemplating walking out, a muffled voice at some distance startled him.

Parth tip-toed towards the long racks of book standing at the furthest corner of the library which was drowned in semi-darkness.

He peeped through the narrow gaps between the stacks of book. His heart nearly stopped beating when he spotted two shadowy figures standing there.

"I don't understand. Exactly which book are you looking for?" Vibha's voice sent another jolt to his heart.

He didn't want to know who the other person was. It was like peeping in someone's else's private space, but his legs refused to carry him further and he stayed rooted to the spot.

"Do you have something by Shakespeare?" it was Rishabh. His voice sounded a little different, deeper and raspy, but Parth recognized it right away.

It was at this point when Parth started feeling a little ashamed of himself.

They were just talking about books. It was no big deal, and not to mention none of his business. Yet it felt way too personal to witness.

He willed himself to walk out of the library before it's too late, but as soon as he turned round to leave, a low gasping sound froze him to the spot.

"Rishabh, what ...what are you doing?" Vibha's voice trembled with shock.
