“This assignment has become the disaster of my life. I have already exhausted myself so much, I don’t know what else to do.” Jhanvi said, throwing the stack of books on the library table.

The librarian glared at her and signaled for her to keep quiet, so she apologized and sat outside on the lawn. Jyoti also came with him.

“Sir’s mind has become stuck due to old age. But why do you take so much load? There was no Google in his time, so what should we do. Search the subjects. What is the problem?” suffering from mental illness, but there is doubt.

“Madam, if you had attended the class and paid a little attention, you would have heard that Sir has strictly said that all the assignments will be checked through anti-plagiarism software. If even a line is found copy-paste single, you will be rejected. I have to score marks. Even without wanting to, Jhanvi taunted her, and when she realized that, she was embarrassed.

But Jyoti’s specialty was that she did not carry many things. She was a cheerful and playful girl, who was not obsessed with being on top of herself. Passing with a decent percentage and enjoying life was enough for him. His father had a big business and his elder brother Rohit was also a senior in the same university.

When Jhanvi was ten years old, her father died. His mother was a teacher in a private school. From the very beginning she had paid a lot of attention to her studies, she had always been a champion and now her target was to choose a campus with a good package.

“That’s why it is said, the man who stands at the top is alone.” Jyoti imitated the Hindi teacher.

“Yes because there is only room for one person to stand at the top.” Both of them didn’t even realize when Rohit had come and stood behind them.

“What is the subject Jhanvi, tell me.”

Jhanvi felt as if a drowning person had found support through a straw. Older people were getting help, that too without asking. He quickly opened the register and handed it over. Topics were systematically written in bullet points in very beautiful writing. Rohit smiled.

“I have three books related to this. You will find all the subjects in them.”

Jhanvi screamed with joy. Then, controlling her excitement, she asked when she could take the books.

“Hey, should I take last year’s books with me now? I’ve kept them at home. I’ll bring them tomorrow.”

“But brother, tomorrow is Saturday and Monday is a government holiday. It’s three days away.”

Jhanvi got very upset after hearing this. His mind was turned off. His mother did not allow him to go to any friend’s house. This was the only promise he took from her. The one who can study as long as she wants, wherever she wants, and won’t insist on trips with friends. The bus will go from the college to the home and from the home to the college. Not that he didn’t trust him, but he didn’t trust the world. After the untimely death of her husband, the evil eyes and intentions of her father-in-law had turned her out of the roof of her own in-law house. In order to save her honor, a young woman walked out of her house for the first time with her ten-year-old daughter, without returning. Now he didn’t even trust relationships. That’s why she was very worried about her daughter’s safety and Jhanvi also understood this very well, so she didn’t make any unnecessary demands that could cause trouble for her mother. Jyoti also knew this.

“No problem Jhanvi, I will scan photos of subjects from brother’s books and send them to you on WhatsApp.”

“Good idea. Do one thing Jhanvi, give me your WhatsApp. I’m just sending it but you get something else related to this too.” He quickly jotted down his number.

In fact, that night Rohit had sent pictures of all the subjects. He also sent a message of thanks very quickly.

“Hey, you’re so awake at night, you’re also nocturnal.”

“Yes, I was just working on an assignment. Good night.”

Jhanvi gave a short answer. Then Rohit sent a funny reel and said that complete the beauty sleep, otherwise dark circles will appear. At this Jhanvi sent a smile and hung up the phone.

When he woke up in the morning, he saw that there were 4 more messages, all of them reels and memes. He sent another smile. Then the messages came regularly throughout the day. He was getting confused. Now that she had time during the holidays, she wanted to complete the assignment. But if she didn’t answer, Rohit would feel that she was being mean to him. So after thinking something, he put the phone in airplane mode and sat down to write.

She thought that if Rohit asked her in college, she would tell him that the phone’s battery was dead and the charger was not available. But nothing like this happened. Seeing her he smiled and said goodbye to her and went to his class. And Jhanvi heaved a sigh of relief.

Rohit used to help him often now, which made it much easier for him to study. His messages also kept coming on his phone. But mostly it was funny. She would also have smiled or responded ‘haha’. Sometimes he would also send double meaning non-vegetarian memes, which she would ignore. Now, in return for so much help, she could only have done so much.

But gradually Rohit became free from her. By this time his messages were such that it was becoming difficult for him to ignore them.

“Sit here son. I need to talk to you about something.”

When my mother said this, she was a little surprised.

“You know Aarti Aunty very well. She was the one who got me the job. To begin with, she gave me a roof to live in. She looked after you like her own daughter.”

“Yes mom. But what happened? Is aunt Aarti okay? Her son is probably studying in London, right? Does he need any help? Are we going there?” Jhanvi asked many questions at once.

“It’s quite the opposite. She helped us earlier too and she still wants our well-being. She has maintained the trust I had lost in our relationships. Her son Karan has returned from London. He wants your help. And Aarti ma’am wants to make you her daughter-in-law. Or you can also decide.”

“Of course not Mama. You know, I’m far away from all this. To be honest, I don’t consider myself ready to take responsibility for a relationship like marriage. Still, if you you want ….” Jhanvi said a little nervously.

“I just want you to meet Karan once. No pressure.” Mother smiled and patted his head.

Karan turned out to be a talkative, cheerful and very intelligent boy, completely contrary to his mind and nature. She was surprised how someone could seem so close to her at the very first meeting. Jhanvi also liked her start-up idea very much. Karan had done all the planning and strategy in such detail that it took years for people to understand. Jhanvi was lost in the dreams of the company and her future. Karan was so easy to talk to, after leaving the initial hesitation, the two of them started chatting like old friends. Both their mothers were also very happy.

It was 2:30 at night. He was engrossed in his books when the phone vibrated. WhatsApp opened as soon as you touched it. Rohit had sent a funny joke again. Then came his next message

“What are you doing staying up late at night? These days don’t last, these nights” a winking emoji.

“I was studying. Now I’m going to sleep. Bye.”

“Uff, ‘Come on, you’re going to sleep, this is an invitation, isn’t it? Are you inviting me to sleep?’

“What the hell is this?” Now his mind was exhausted.

“Yes, it’s nonsense really. If you’re with me then who will sleep? I’ll stay awake all night and wake you up.”

After this a JPG of a french kiss was sent. Now it was beyond Jhanvi’s tolerance. If she had stopped him harshly earlier, his courage would not have increased so much. She blocked Rohit’s number from everywhere and went to sleep. But my eyes filled again and again.

Now she had started avoiding Jyoti too. She used to try her best not to confront Rohit.

The discussions with Karan had added new colors to her life. He never said anything that would make her uncomfortable.

One day Karan came to the university to surprise her. Jhanvi became very happy to see him. They were both sitting in the canteen. Seeing them laughing and talking, Rohit got angry. As soon as Karan left, he jumped and came to Jhanvi’s table.

“Oh, dating is happening. I didn’t like him, I liked this guy. He looks mature, doesn’t he…? Makes me enjoy a lot?”

“Shut up Rohit…” Jhanvi wanted to scream angrily but her eyes filled with tears and her throat choked.

“Oh madam, don’t do this crying drama. And not Rohit, Rohit sir. I am your senior. At first I thought, the girl is decent, don’t bother her. But no, the girl’s boyfriend is someone else. We are for business only.

If Jhanvi breaks, there will be no blood. He hadn’t even thought that ignoring the cheap and ridiculous messages would cost him so much. What will everyone think of it? A boy used to send a message to a girl like this at midnight. Screenshots can also be faked. What will Karan think? How will his mother put up with all this?

Just then Karan came there. He had forgotten his car keys on the table. Seeing Jhanvi’s condition, he placed his hand lovingly on her shoulder and asked, “Jhanvi, what happened? Why are you so worried? You can trust me. Believe me.”

Jhanvi said everything while crying.

“I had forgotten, Karan, that I am a girl. Girls are always stopped and intimidated. They are considered out of character.”

“No Jhanvi, those who are weak are intimidated and suppressed. They don’t take a stand for themselves. They are manipulated after sensing their weakness. Instead of avoiding Jyoti, you should have said all this to her. Get up now.”

Karan had gone straight to Rohit.

“Yes, brother, take my number and whatever you want to send, WhatsApp me directly be done, so different.”

Rohit was not prepared for all this. It was absolutely depressing. Karan was right. He looked at Jhanvi, she was not simple but a very confident girl. How did this change so much suddenly? He was thinking.

And Jhanvi was also thinking the same. Today she learned how much strength and confidence a reliable life partner can provide.
