Trick.

You did a mistake by coming into
my life, even it was for a second.

"What's up, Samuel?" I asked as I attended his call. Samuel was calling me after almost 5 days after. I was eagerly waiting for his call.

"I have found something about Rahul," Samuel said in a robotic tone. I smirked as I know, where it was going.

"Rahul is a smuggler. Singhania's have transferred some of their ships in his name. And now, all of them doing illegal." Samuel said. And that's what I need. I know how much children's deeds will affect one's reputation.

"Alright, I think it's enough." I shook my head.

"Also, Rahul is a womanizer. He-" Samuel started to say.

"I know it. I just need the details of the girls who are willing to file a complaint against him." I said.

"I will..." I disconnected the call and sat on the couch. "Now, it's going to be fun," I smirked looking at my reflection in the mirror.

Soon after that, I received the mail from Samuel, it had proof against Rahul. There were some images of him with different girls too. That's enough!

"Princess?" I heard a knock on the door.

"You can come in, dad," I yelled. Of course, he doesn't need to ask permission for getting into my room.

"How're your studies going, Princess." He asked. For a moment, I was shocked. He was never bothered about my ranks and studies.

"It's- good, dad," I mumbled. He shook his head and I smiled.

"Don't let anything ruin our reputation, Swara. It's a very crucial period for us." He stated. I nodded. Usually, he calls me princess, but when something serious matter arises, he calls me Swara.

"I promise, Dad. I will not do anything which will ruin our reputation." I smiled. "Dad, I need the contact number of Mr. Roshan Rawal." I continued and asked.

"Mr. Rawal, the senior reporter of Indian times, right? Why would you need his number?" Dad asked.

"Trust me, Dad...it's going to be fruitful for us," I smirked. "Okay, I will tell Anil to give you his number," Dad said.

"Swara, I repeat. Don't let anything ruin our reputation." He once more stated and went outside of the room. I stood and sighed.

Why can't he trust me? Tears flowed from my eyes. Whenever it comes to family, I'm a very weak person. I don't know, but sometimes I feel like my parents don't trust me. Yes, they allow me to do late parties. Also, they trust me with their cards. Haha! I'm their daughter, right! So it's obvious for them to give me their credit card. But still, sometimes I feel so alone. Even Naira can't help.

"Ms. Mehta, the lunch is ready." I heard Susy's voice. "I'm coming." I closed my eyes and said.

    
                     ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"Good Afternoon, Ms. Mehta." I saw Mr. Rawal standing in front of me. He was tall and looked so fresh.

"Afternoon, Mr. Rawal." I greeted him back.

When Anil uncle gave me his contact number, I made sure to call him that instant itself. He asked me to come to a coffee shop as the matter was very confidential.

"You can simply call me, SM." I smiled meekly. Rawal passed a nod.

"You can trust me with the proof, SM." Rawal spoke.

"Of course, I know it. That's why I'm sitting in front of you with this pen drive in my hand." I smirked looking at him.

"So, what's the deal? What do you need in exchange for this pen drive?" Mr. Rawal asked me very politely.

"Nothing, I just need you to use this pen drive today itself. I want to see Singhania's destruction today itself." I spoke.

"Yes, I will do that." He agreed and I gave the pen drive to him. Soon, he departed.

"Ma'am, your order." I heard the waiter's voice. I signaled him to keep the cappuccino on the table.

Rupali's words were ringing inside my head. I need someone popular. I need someone who has the aura. But, who?

Sanskar.

Fuck! Why did I even think about him? God! My trance got broke by the sudden ring of a mobile phone.

"Yes, bitch. I'm not dead yet." I laughed as I heard Naira swearing at the other side.

"Stop laughing!" The last date of submitting the dance competitor's list is day after tomorrow. Do you have someone in your mind?" Naira sounded serious.

"Sanskar..." His name came out of my mouth with a reflex.

"Nice choice. But, both of you aren't on good terms. So, I don't think that he will accept your invitation." Naira spoke. Wtf! Did I spoke his name so loudly that she heard me!

"Are you mad!? Why would I even think of him." I yelled. I could imagine Naira rolling her eyes.

"Baby jokes apart. If you really wanted to win over Rupali, you need someone like Sanskar." Naira stated.

"Yes, Baby...That's what I'm saying. I don't need Sanskar. I need someone like him." I said.

"And you really think they can dance too?" Naira was now yelling. Oh shit!

"Who said you that Sanskar knows to dance," I asked.

"The whole campus knows!" I grinned my teeth.

"Stop grinning your teeth! If you can't, I'm going to talk to him." Naira disconnected the call. I sighed.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

All of us were having dinner. Suddenly, Anil uncle came into the hall switching on the television.

"What happened, Anil?" Dad and Mom were confused.

"There is something you all need to see." He said.

"Rahul Singhania, the son of the famous industrialist, Ashish Singhania got arrested by the NCB. He was accused of smuggling the drugs. Five ships were caught at the Kolkata harbor and it belonged to Rahul Singhania. After his arrest, some girls have come forward saying that they were raped by Rahul Singhania. Stay tuned for more exclusives." The news flashed.

I could feel dad's eyes on me. Mom was so shocked.

"Stop staring at me, Dad. Just know that I'm your daughter!" I laughed and stood up.

"What do you mean? So you are behind it, right?" Mom was astonished. I gave her a wink walking away.

"Wait, princess." I stopped walking as dad called.

"I don't know what made you do this. But thank you so much for that. I'm sure, now Vaghela's will be stressed. They can't come up with an excuse in front of their shareholders so soon" Dad was so happy, so am I.

"Fantastic!" Mom got up from the chair. I smiled at her.

"You are such a badass!" I laughed at her compliment.

"Why didn't I looked into Singhania's son till now?" Dad uttered to himself.

"It's okay, Dad. Cool!!!" I smiled.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"Swaraaaaaa!" I heard a very familiar voice coming into my ears. It was his, Sanskar's.

I turned my heels looking in his direction. His eyes were bloodshot red. He resembled a smoking bull.

"You are gonna regret your decision, Swara!" He dragged me to a corner. I stamped my heels on his leg. With a hiss, he left my hand.

"You little..." He was so much angry.

"You are our basketball club's president, right?" I smirked. I could see confusion all over his face.

"That's none of your business. You put him behind the bars, right!" Sanskar held my hands, again.

"Limits! Stay within your limits. Yes, I put him behind the bars...He should have thought thrice before touching me with his nasty hands. I'm SM! I'm capable of anything and everything." My attitude vibe was flowing.

"You are a bitch, Mehta! It doesn't make any difference if he sleeps with you or not!" He said and it hit my ego hard.

"Yes, I'm a bitch, but I have standards too!!" I smirked.

"Look, Sanskar...I have a very fair deal. You need a popular girl for promoting the basketball club. I need a boy to dance with me in the competition. So, let's support each other very simply." I said. I saw him clutching his hand tightly.

"Who do you think you are!! I don't need your help or support to win the match! Do you understand!" He roared.

"Relax, Sanskar. Think about it...You have time till tomorrow. Anyway, it's going to a tough match." I looked at his face.

"Sanskar, what are you doing here?" I saw Akash coming.

"Nothing, dude! Just...nothing!" Sanskar left my hand.

"We need to give the names of the participants tomorrow. Do you think about the girl who can support our club?" Akash patted Sanskar's shoulder.

"No, not yet!" Sanskar's gaze was hitting me harder.

"Okay then, I'm off." I smiled at Akash and turned my heels. I could still feel Sanskar's hatred gaze on me.

Yesterday, when Naira told me about Sanskar, I didn't take it seriously. But then, after I thought about winning the competition at any cost, he was a good option. Anyway, it's going to be a fair deal. But, I'm really afraid of Dad's and Mom's reaction if they come to know that, actually Sanskar is my partner. Ufff!!! What a mess.
