Karthik was present in the boys locker room. He was getting ready for the football match when Miss D'Souza reached there fuming with anger.
Suddenly seeing Miss D'Souza in the boys' locker room, the boys present there got nervous. Some football players were changing their clothes and suddenly seeing her there, they started hiding here and there.
Karthik was wearing his jersey, at this time he was only wearing blue denim jeans on his body, seeing madam in front of him he quickly covered himself with a white towel.
Seeing him do this, Miss D'Souza gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Aren't you ashamed? Are you acting fake!?"
Saying this he showed him the bottle of blood. Karthik saw the bottle of blood and said, "Yes, I sent it to you."
Hearing this, Madam D'Souza became even more angry and said, "How dare you?! How dare you do this to me?"
In response, Karthik said, "Ma'am, rule is rule and according to me the rule should be same for everyone, right?"
By then Neel had also reached there.
He had overheard Miss D'Souza's conversation.
Rahul also reached there with his friends.
Neil came near Kartik and looking at Miss D'Souza he said "Yes ma'am rule is rule and what is wrong in it?"
Miss D'Souza glared at Neel and threw the letter on his face and said "What is the rule about sending love letters to your teacher?"
Hearing this, both Kartik and Neel started looking at each other with surprised eyes.
Neil said softly, "You have a crush on D'Souza ma'am, I could never imagine that your taste would be like this."
Karthik replied to him softly, "Stop talking nonsense and pick up the letter"
Neel bent down and picked up the letter lying on the floor and started reading it.
Then Karthik snatched the paper from her and after reading it said, "Ma'am trust me I have not done anything like this, this is..."
Before he could say anything further, his eyes fell on Rahul who was teasing Karthik by giving strange expressions from behind Miss D'Souza. Karthik understood everything very well.
Miss D'Souza said angrily, "I disqualify you from this game today and I will try my best to ensure that you never become a part of any college game."
Saying this she started going out from there.
Karthik ran after her and with folded hands said, "Ma'am please trust me, I have not done anything like this, actually I was asked to give a blood sample and I did that, I did not know that someone would do such a prank with me."
After saying this, she turned back and looked at Rahul who was still teasing her.
Miss D'Souza scolded him and said, "Stop your nonsense, this is my final decision." Saying this, she walked out of the boys' locker room.
Karthik tried to convince her and started following her. But she was not ready to listen to anything Karthik said. Then suddenly her mobile rang. She picked up the phone. After listening to the other side, she said in surprise, "What!! How is this possible?"
Then he replied on the phone, "OK I will manage" and after saying this he disconnected the call.
Karthik was still standing behind them with an innocent face. Miss D'Souza looked at Karthik and said, "Get ready to play." Karthik started looking at her with questioning eyes.
She continued further and said, "Your team captain has had an accident and I am putting your name in his place in the list. I hope you will win."
As soon as she said this, Karthik jumped with joy like a small child. But then Miss D'Souza said to him in her stern voice, "But you will definitely get punishment! Such cheap acts will not be tolerated at all!"
Karthik sat down on his knees and said, "Ma'am, I accept whatever punishment you give me."
Miss D'Souza looked at the time on her wrist watch and took a deep breath and said, "There are 25 minutes left for the match to start."
Karthik stood up and like disciplined children, with his hands folded, started listening to them attentively.
She continued her talk and said, ''25 rounds of the football field with nonstop'' Hearing this, without any argument Kartik nodded his head in affirmative and took a deep breath and walked towards the football ground.
He was completing his punishment rounds on the football ground when his eyes fell on the stairs of the auditorium where Rahul and Shannon were present.
Rahul was kissing Shannon on the lips and Shannon was also caressing his back with her long nails.
Seeing this, Karthik turned his eyes away and by increasing his running speed, he tried to get away from their sight quickly.
He was crossing from there when he heard Shannon's voice. She was laughing and telling Rahul, "If you win this match today, then your prize is certain." Rahul said in a mischievous tone, "Well, that means tonight, it's just you and me alone in a room..."
Shannon laughed and interrupted him and said romantically, "Yes Baba, only you and me..."
I don't know why this time Kartik was not affected even after hearing their conversation, instead he was laughing at himself that he chose a girl like Shannon.
Karthik was completing rounds of the ground with speed because now only 10 minutes were left for the match to start and Karthik was well aware that this match was very important for him, if he won today's match then Miss. D'Souza would forgive him for the mistake which he had never committed.
This match was going to be held between Science students V/S Commerce students of Hansraj College and Kartik did not want to let the Commerce students get disappointed at any cost.
After some time, Karthik completed 25 rounds of the football field.
All the players were present on the football field. Karthik's team was wearing a red jersey and Rahul's team was wearing a yellow jersey. Some beautiful girls wearing short skirts and holding pom poms in their hands were cheering for both the teams on the field.
In which Shannon was also present and she was repeatedly giving flying kisses to Rahul.
The football match had been announced and the captains of both the teams had to shake hands and start their game.
When Karthik and Rahul shook hands, Rahul winked at Karthik and said, "Nice, you have come as a captain!"
Then after thinking for a while he said, "I cannot see your rented girlfriend, it seems you were not able to pay the rent on time. See how sexy my girlfriend looks in a short dress." Saying this he gave a flying kiss to Shannon and started giving a sarcastic smile looking at Karthik.
Kartik smiled in response and said, "The one you think is my girlfriend is not a chipo like your girlfriend and neither does she like to wear short skirts and dance in front of boys with pom poms in her hands. Did you understand?
While they were talking, a loud voice came from the audience outside the ground, "You are Karthik!!" The voice sounded familiar to Karthik. So, Karthik immediately looked into the audience. Shefali was looking at him with a slight smile and cheering him. Karthik was very relieved to see this. He waved at her and Shefali gently held her ears.
Rahul was shocked to see Shefali in the match. Rahul also waved at her but she made a bad face looking at him. Kartik said to Rahul, "I told you, the one you think is my girlfriend is not cheap like your girlfriend!!"
By then the whistle of the football match started. The heartbeat of the audience present there started getting louder.
After some time, Rahul's team scored a goal which made Rahul proud.
But Karthik did not pay any attention to him. After some time the football came to Karthik, he was about to score a goal when Rahul reached there and he tripped Karthik and made him fall and he took the ball and won the game.
Karthik's team members started shouting loudly "foul foul" but nobody paid attention to their words. Karthik was staring at Rahul angrily. Rahul and his team were scoring goals by cheating like this. Meanwhile Rahul came close to Karthik and said "Beating Rahul in football is not a child's play, go home and drink Bournvita"
In response, Kartik glared at him angrily. Rahul gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Aale aale baby ko gussa aa gaya" saying this, as Rahul moved forward to score a goal, Kartik tripped him with his leg and made him fall, as soon as he fell, Kartik scored the goal and then he came to him and said, "Tit for tat!!"
Now Karthik's team also started scoring goals in the same manner by leaving Rahul's team behind.
Rahul was staring at Karthik angrily.
Karthik caressed his cheek and said, "Ale Ale, I am getting angry, go home and drink Bournvita." After saying this, Karthik wiped the sweat from his forehead and then got busy in the game.
Meanwhile Shannon started shouting loudly "Come on Rahul come on"
But who knows what new enthusiasm had come in Karthik's team, that this time they did not let Rahul and his team score even once and the score of Karthik's team went ahead of the score of Rahul's team.
Seeing such a result, Rahul called his team, formed a circle and started explaining something to the team members.
And on the other hand, Karthik was also telling his team, "We just have to focus on Rahul's team, we just have to do the same as they play, don't pay much attention to the defense, okay"
After a while, the game started again. All the players of Rahul's team had surrounded Kartik's team from all sides. Rahul had the football and as soon as Kartik came close to him, Rahul tried to push him once again but this time Kartik was ready. He pushed Rahul and made him fall and scored a goal. And with this, the entire audience started shouting in joy, "Kartik is the winner! Kartik is the winner!"
A big smile came on the face of Shefali sitting in the audience. She too stood up happily holding the board. Neil was also present with her at this time.
Shannon threw the pom pom on Rahul's face and angrily started to walk away. Rahul stopped her and said, "Listen to me!" But she was very angry and did not want to listen to a single word of Rahul.
Meanwhile, Shefali reached Kartik on the football field. At this time his team was holding him in their arms but as soon as Kartik saw Shefali, he came close to her. Shefali very decently told Kartik, "Congratulations, you won!"
Karthik was a little surprised and said, "But how did you know that a match is going on here?"
Before Shefali could say anything, Neel reached there and took Kartik in his lap and spun him around.
Karthik tapped him on the head and said, "You must have passed on the information."
Hearing this, Neil looked at Shefali and said to Kartik, "What could I, poor soul, do when someone comes to ask about you?"
Karthik patted her on the head and said to Shefali, "But Shefali, how did your wrong fame go away?"
Shefali said hesitantly, "I thought a lot, then I felt that what you said was right…I thought about you…"
They were still talking when Miss D'Souza made an announcement on the mic, "Today's winner is Team Red, i.e. Commerce Team!!"
Hearing this announcement all the commerce students started shouting together "Hip Hip Hurray"
Miss D'Souza further announced, "Commerce team captain Karthik should come up here on the stage with his team."
Karthik looked towards Shefali, then Shefali signaled him to go on stage.
Kartik reached the stage with his team. Where he was given a big shield as a reward. Shefali and Neil were expressing their happiness by whistling loudly.
************
At this time behind the stage, Rahul was sitting on his knees and saying to Shannon "Darling, listen to me"
In response, Shannon said angrily, "Why should I listen to you, I don't even want to see your face!!" After saying this, she started to leave from there by stamping her feet.
Rahul tried to convince her and said, "Darling, did you see how they were cheating?"
Shannon said, "You are no less! You talk a lot about heroism!! You lost to that Karthik, I can't believe it!!"
After saying this and leaving, Rahul got irritated and started punching the wall. Then he heard the voice of Karthik's team members "East and West Karthik is the best". Hearing the voice he turned back and looked.
Shefali and Neil were moving forward in front of their team, dancing with Kartik's name written on the board. The boys from his team were carrying him in their arms and Kartik was holding the big, shiny shield in his hands.
Kartik came close to Rahul and signaled the boys something due to which the boys brought him down. Kartik came close to Rahul with the trophy and said with a crooked smile, "What happened to Babu, his Babu left him alone and went away, so sad!"
Rahul gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Karthik, my mood is already off, don't talk nonsense to me."
On this, Kartik showed his shield to Rahul and said, "Hey, I wanted to show you this shining shield, which was not in your destiny and you felt bad?"
Rahul stared at her. Then Shefali remembered how Rahul had manipulated her, she also spoke, "If you have a hobby of chasing someone then chase him by running and not by pulling his leg or making up false stories against him, did you understand?
Rahul looked at Shefali and said, "But you should listen to me."
Shaifali replied angrily, "Now you listen to me, if you ever try to provoke me against Karthik, no one will be worse off than me."
Hearing Shefali's words, Neil laughingly said to Rahul, "Friend, today is your unlucky day. You lost the shield as well as your girlfriend!!"
Rahul started looking at them angrily. Shefali said to Karthik, "Today is a very good day! You should get a reward from me."
As soon as she said this, Kartik started looking at her intently with his eyes wide open. Rahul was also looking at Shefali with his mouth wide open. Shefali looked at both of them with her eyes narrowed and said, "Today we will have lunch together and that treat will be from my side, okay"
In response, Karthik took a deep breath and laughed.
Once again, Karthik's team picked him up in their arms and they walked out of there shouting slogans. Just then, Karthik's mobile rang. It was Sachin's call. As soon as Karthik received the call, he was surprised to hear Sachin from the other side and said, "Do you know what you are saying??!"
