Author's p.o.v
Sehreyar threw the phone on the floor and asked her angrily," Who is this Asish Mehta?"
" He is my professor," Meher replied going backwards. She is a little bit of scared seeing Sehreyar too much angry.
Sehreyar asked with his cold voice," Why was he messaging you? Why is he so much concern about you? Why is he asking why aren't you going to college? Why is he so concerned about your study? What's your relationship with him? Why did you give your number to him?"
She replied truthfully," I don't know from where he found my number. Maybe he found it in the student's book. As a teacher, he is concerned for me. He is just my professor. Nothing else."
Sehreyar holds her injured arm tightly and asked angrily," I am asking you for the last time. What's your relationship with him?"
" Ah....leave my hand...it's paining. I have already told you," Meher said hissing in pain.
Sehreyar asked sarcastically," Are you his special student? Hmm? I also have passed my college time but no professor was that much generous with me."
Meher is understanding where this conversation is going. She was already too much upset and now Sehreyar's questions are making her lose her patience.
She replied angrily," Yes, I am his special student. I am giving him special services just the way I am giving you. Aren't you so desperate to hear this sentence from me?"
" Meher!!" Sehreyar yelled loudly and raised his hand to slap her.
Meher closed her eyes in reflex. She was waiting for a hard impact. But, the impact never came. She opened her eyes and found that his hand is hanging in the air and he is clenching his jaw tightly.
Meher said angrily looking at his reaction," Why did you stop? Slap me. Beat me.....do one thing. Kill me in once. I am done with everything. You are asking me about my relationship with my professor. Have you ever thought about yourself? Huh! You are so shameless that even after having a fiancee you have made me your mistress. You are a cheater. A complete lunatic. You are destroying two woman's life. You are a monster."
" You have gotten your tongue back. You are talking back with me. Huh! Did you just forget your place in front of me? Sehreyar asked and pushed her on the bed. She hissed in pain when her body landed on the bed with great impact.
He isn't even caring that she is still weak after tolerating all those violent kicks from Sajal's friends.
Meher looked at him

and said angrily," Yeah. I am talking back. What will you do? You will starve me, slap me and rape me. What more you can do? You are not a real man. You are a coward who can only abuse by raping a weak girl. You are just......."
She couldn't complete her sentence when Sehreyar hovered over her and said almost choking her neck," If you were not injured then I might have shown you I am a real man or not."
Saying that he stood up from his hovered position and Meher took a relief of breath.
Then, Sehreyar said sternly," You will not go to college. You will not come out of this house. You will be in the house for 24 hours."
" Why are you stopping my study? Why can't I go to college? You can't stop my study," Meher said standing from the bed.
Sehreyar replied," I don't want you to meet that professor again. I am going to teach him a good lesson for messaging you."
This time Meher couldn't control her outburst and said crying," What's wrong I have done to you ever? I am sleeping with you every time as per your wish. I have tolerated your fiancee's humiliation. What more I have to tolerate? Why are you punishing me like that? What's my fault? Don't stop my study."
Sehreyer replied going towards the door," You are not going to study anymore. I have already told you about my decision. I had permitted you to study. I have bear the expenses of your study. Then, how dare you to have a relationship with your professor! You have forgotten the rules and now it's your punishment. You have brought that upon you."
" I will continue my study. You can't stop me," Meher said fisting her palm in anger where tears are soaking her cheeks.
Sehreyar turned his face to her direction and asked her with amusement," Are you capable of going against me? You might have forgotten that your one brother is still in the hospital, another one is in jail and your company is still under me. So, before doing and talking back to me.
Think hundred times."
This time Meher became mute and didn't utter a single word. She has lost her words. She is crying badly pressing her lips and fisting her palm tightly.
Sehreyar came forward and raised her chin with his index finger. He asked her dramatically," Where did that rebellious Meher go? A few moments ago you were talking back. What happened now? Won't you go against me?"
