"I thought I was going to die", Cherry groaned and rubbed her eyes.

"Haa! You were sleeping like a log throughout the class", Tilak snorted and Cherry raised her head to look at him.

"Have you ever seen a beautiful log like me?", Cherry asked him as she cupped her face and wriggled her brows.

"Beautiful? You? Stop it or I'll puke on you", Tilak rolled his eyes at her remarks.

"For God Sake! Concentrate on your studies and stop this nonsense", Roop spoke and hit Cherry with her book.

"Ouch! Stop hitting me. It hurts", Cherry wailed softly and glared at both Tilak and Roop.

"Guys! Stop it", Finally their mother Lisa interfered to stop them from fighting.

Mohini was silently listening to them, and lastly shaking her head at seeing them arguing about silly things.

"Let's go. I'm famished", Mohini said as she had a long face throughout the day.

After the class got over they went to the food court on the campus to have their lunch.

On their way to the food court, A girl bumped into one of Mohini's friends, Lisa.

"You fool can't you see where you are going?", That girl spoke rudely to Lisa.

Because of the bumping, the food tray splashed all over that girl and also on Lisa.

"Are you blind?", Roop spoke bluntly to that girl.

"What?", That girl was shocked by Roop's words.

"Oh! So you are deaf as well", Cherry spoke in her soft but spicy tone.

That girl glared at Roop, Lisa, and Cheery one by one and then she raised her hand to slap Cherry but Mohini caught her hand in the air harshly.

"Your mind was absent that's why you got bumped into my friend who was walking correctly to the food court's direction", Mohini threw that girl's hand away which made the girl furious.

Mohini and her friends were familiar with this girl who was too rude to everyone in the college because her family was wealthy, and powerful and had some shares in the college.

"You dare to call me blind", That girl screamed madly at them.

Roop scoffed and Cheery sneered at her loud tone. Tilak laughed by seeing the red face of that girl while Lisa stood calmly but Mohini's stomach was roaring like a hungry lion.

Mohini was getting frustrated by hunger and on the other hand, seeing the ruckus in the food court, Other students started to gather to see the live drama.

Meanwhile, unknowingly to them few important people were watching them from afar with the College Principal.

"Kids nowadays don't know how to talk and give respect to others. I'll teach them properly", The college Principal wiped his face and spoke while taking glances at the highest shareholder of the CS College.

The principal was ashamed to witness this scene with the shareholder.

The principal invited the shareholder to show the new educational plans and arrangements of the college campus to the shareholder to get more funds but this verbal fight irritated him.

"Don't interrupt them", The biggest shareholder seemed to be interested in watching the fight scene.

"Ah! But?", The principal spoke but The shareholder interrupted him and said, "Kids nowadays know very well how to handle the situations in their lives without involving the seniors"

The assistant of the shareholder scratched his head and thought, 'From when did this cold and heartless person start to get interested in students' lives?'

"I thought" " the principal said but again the shareholder stopped him from saying more, "I know very well because I have kids as well"

"Apologies to me and then I'll forgive you", That girl spoke arrogantly to Mohini while her eyes were on Lisa.

Lisa sighed and said, "Guys let's drop this matter here. I'll apologize".

The hidden meaning behind Lisa's words made Mohini, Roop, Cherry, and Tilak sigh weakly.

They didn't want any kind of trouble in college with other students. They all came from wealthy families from different states of India except Mohini who came from a middle-class family but still, these children were scared of their parents.

Lisa knew how strict their parents were and they managed to come to Delhi and get admission to this college. Especially Mohini, whose life was tougher than theirs. It was their dream to study Computer Science at CS College of Delhi.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault", Lisa said as her eyes looked straight at that girl's eyes.

That girl laughed evilly and spoke to Lisa, "Huh? Do you think I want only your apology? I want all four of you to apologize to me"

Roop's eyes flared as she nodded her head and spoke, "Okay! I agreed but we want you to apologise to us as well"

Seeing this scene other students were gaping like a fish.

"What the hell are you saying?", That girl yelled and Both Tilak and Cherry closed their ears.

On the other hand, Mohini's hunger rose, and started to dance in her head. She lost her temper and said, "Stop acting like a righteous person. Seeing you acting like a crazy bull. I'm aware that it's not your first time accusing others. Your behavior shows that you often do this"

That girl was taken aback. She didn't expect that Mohini would see through her personality.

That girl huffed and said, "It's nonsense to talk to a bunch of fools. I'm leaving now"

Mohini's hunger made her anger rise higher than before and watched that girl leave like this. She said, "Where do you think you are going? You asked us to apologize. My friend did it and now it's your turn to apologize to her"

The face of that girl turned pale when she saw how murderous Mohini appeared in front of her. That girl didn't think that everything would turn this way.

"Don't take it too far. Don't forget that you have to study here with me. My father is one of the shareholders of this college. Don't you want your days to be peaceful anymore?", She gritted her teeth.

Mohini's stomach said 'Gurul Gurul' loudly. She clenched her jaw and said, "Oh! So you are threatening us now. Let's see. I'm here and you are here as well. I'm waiting for you but firstly let me hear your apology"

"In your dreams", That girl spoke bluntly.

"Really? I thought that CS College is one of the prestigious colleges in Delhi but I never knew that this college has a student like you who likes to show off the money and power of her parents to bully other students", Mohini said loudly so others could hear her properly.

Roop, Cherry, Tilak, Lisa, and all the other students who were witnessing this scene had a disgusting look on their faces.

That girl stared at the crowd and then stuttered, "You. You have mistaken my words"

"Apologise", Mohini said only one word to her.

"What?", That girl was shocked.

"She is deaf", Tilak spoke and Roop and Cherry nodded in agreement.

"Apologised to my friend", Mohini repeated herself.

"I. I'm. S. Sorry", That girl stammered slightly.

"Friends! Let's go. I'm very hungry and secondly, I am not interested in her insincere apology", Mohini spoke and turned around to leave with her friends to the food court.

The chest of Mohini's friends swelled with pride and joy. MOHINI was their Lioness. They followed her like a lost puppy.

Her face looked like someone had poured a cold bucket of water on her. Her face lost color but her eyes were blazing in anger, hate, and humiliation.

That girl never felt humiliated and that too in front of other students who were eyeing her continuously.

"This matter will not end here. I'll see you", that girl thought and left the place.

"So this is how rich students use the name of their parents to bully other students", the shareholder questioned the principal.

The dark look and icy tone of the shareholder made the principal shudder in both fear and embarrassment.

"No! It's not like that", The college Principal wiped his sweat as he spoke but again his voice cut in the middle.

"It's interesting" " the shareholder muttered softly under their breath.

The eyes of the shareholder took the last of the girl who was clenching her fist tightly and Without saying another word, the biggest Shareholder of the college left the campus with the team assistants.

The principal cursed that rich brat for talking too much and bullying other students.

The Next day, at Mohini's house:-

"Mummy! My boss is Dracula. If I get a second late then he will drink blood from my neck", Mohini said as she sat down on her scooter and ignited the engine.

"Take care of yourself, Mummy. I'll be late", Mohini pressed her lips on her mother's cheeks and spoke softly.

CIEL just stood there and looked at the disappearing figure of her daughter.

Their lives changed completely after leaving Canada.

"I wish! Everything will be fine this time", Ciel murmured as her heart was sinking rapidly. This was the same feeling that she felt when Jagat left her and when she got an envelope that night, coming back from Langer.

Mohini happily stood in front of her destination but there, a shock was waiting for her to show her how money could talk.

BEAUTY angrily stared at the boss of her new job.

"You are fired" " her new boss said to her.

"But why?", Mohini asked him while looking at the same rich brat who was smiling like she won some gold medals in the Olympic games.

That girl ruffled her hair and stood beside the manager of the bookstore.

"Because our Miss doesn't want you here", the Manager of the bookstore spoke to her.

Mohini sighed weakly and closed her eyes. This bookstore was the biggest bookstore in Delhi that the girl's father owned.

Mohini applied for the part-time job here because she liked reading books so much but it was unexpected for her as well. She wanted to do jobs to make money for her mother.

"Do you think you can stop me from achieving what I'm eyeing for?", Mohini asked that girl who frowned deeply at her words.

"Nothing can stop me. No one can come in my way. I have a long way to go. Stop me if you can Daddy's little princess", Mohini spoke a small smile teasingly dancing on her lips.

"You?", That girl raised her hand to slap Mohini but Mohini was faster than her as she stopped her hand and planted a hard slap on that girl's face.

Mohini felt satisfied with her action and left the place happily.

But suddenly Something flashed in her mind, "Omo Mummy. What would I tell her about my first day of job?"

"Se-hun ah! Help me", Mohini crossed her fingers and mentally prayed to the EXO K-pop boyband group member named 'Oh Se- Hun'
