"Bhagwan kare tumhare saala-sali tumhara khoon choos lein," Anamika hissed in anger, trying to sound as rude as she could. (May God make your brother-in-law and sister-in-law suck your blood.)

Harsh frowned and asked, confused, "Tumhare bhai-behen bhi hain?" (Do you have siblings too?)

Blush spread across her face. He cupped her face gently and said, explaining, "Do you really think that on your birthday, your boyfriend would come to you empty-handed?"

She shook her head, pouting. He kissed her on the lips, then pulled out a small case from his pocket. Gazing into her deep, doe-like eyes, he handed it to her while she stared at him, a smile on her face.

Excitedly, she opened the box and saw a small pendant inside. She reached for it to tie it, but he stopped her, saying, "Relax, Flower. Let me do it. After all, I have to tie the mangalsutra too, so I might as well practice now."

She blushed and handed it to him. He put the pendant on her, kissed it, and whispered, "Beautiful," while smiling and hugging her.

She smiled, but her gaze shifted to a clock. It was 5 p.m., and she realized she was already late to return home. "Harsh, I have to go right now. Mumma-Papa must be waiting for me."

Harsh gave her a soft smile. "Yeah, go now and enjoy the rest of your day with your parents."

She smiled, turned to leave, but then stopped halfway, came back, and hugged him tightly. "I love you, Harsh."

He hugged her back tightly. "I love you too, Flower."

Some girls from the 9th class were in the ladies' washroom. One of them, Twinkle, was lying on the washroom floor, crying.

"Ahh," she whimpered as another girl twisted her hair mercilessly.

"What happened, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?" the girl mocked her sarcastically.

Three bullies were tormenting two girls, Twinkle and Ashwini.

"Please leave us!" Twinkle pleaded, her voice trembling.

One of the bullies turned to their leader and said, "Tara, let's burn their hair—it would be fun!"

Tara didn't reply but smirked, pulling out a piece of chewing gum from her mouth. She stuck it in Twinkle's hair, making her cry even harder as the bullies burst out laughing.

One of the other girls took out a bottle of acid solution and moved to pour it on Ashwini's leg, but Tara stopped her with a sharp glare.

"Are you crazy?" she scolded, her tone ice cold. While Tara enjoyed bullying others, she had her limits and never even thought about any dangerous physical harm. She usually slapped or humiliated her victims but never crossed the line. She had bullied two girls in the past but always in a limit.

The other girl, intimidated by Tara's glare, put the bottle away.

Tara grabbed a pair of scissors and turned to Ashwini. "Let's give you a makeover! You'll look so beautiful!" she sneered as she cut Ashwini's hair short.

Twinkle and Ashwini sat on the floor crying, their tears streaming down their faces, while the bullies walked out, laughing hysterically.

Twinkle was devastated. Her long hair, which had once reached her thighs, was now ruined. She would have to cut it to neck length. Ashwini, equally heartbroken, gathered her chopped-off hair from the floor. She cried as she held her remaining hair in her hands. But amidst her tears, Ashwini's expression hardened with determination.

"I want to take revenge on her," Ashwini said firmly, looking at Twinkle. "What do you say?"

Twinkle, her eyes empty and lifeless, replied, "Do whatever you want. I don't care."

Twinkle went home, broken, while Ashwini decided to act. She approached her brother.

"Bhaiya, I need your help," Ashwini said, her voice holding determination.

"What kind of help?" her brother asked, curious.

"I want to take revenge on a girl," she said, smirking.

He mirrored her smirk. "As you wish, little sister."

Meanwhile, Twinkle returned home, too scared to tell anyone about the bullying. She picked up a handful of her hair, ready to cut it off, when her twin brother, Ekansh, walked in.

"Twinkle," he called out, startled by what he saw.

Twinkle, holding back her tears, mumbled, "Wo galti se mere baalon mein chewing gum lag gaya tha" (I accidentally got chewing gum in my hair).

Ekansh frowned, sensing something was wrong. "Twinkle, tell me the truth. What's going on?"

Unable to hold it in any longer, Twinkle broke down and confessed everything. "Ekansh, she stuck two pieces of chewing gum in my hair! I can't believe I'll have to cut it all off!" She cried uncontrollably.

Ekansh stopped her from cutting her hair and calmly said, "Wait here."

He went to the kitchen, made a solution to remove the gum, and gently dipped her hair into it. After some time, the gum came off without damaging her hair.

Twinkle smiled through her tears and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Ekansh. Thank you so much."

Ekansh patted her back and suggested, "I think we should report her to the anti-bullying organization."

Twinkle froze. "No, Ekansh. I just want to transfer to another school. Please. I don't want to put more stress on Chachu or you. You're both already doing so much for me."

In the end, Twinkle didn't return to the school and transferred to a new one, leaving the painful memories behind.

Four days passed, but when Twinkle and Ashwini didn't come to school, Tara felt guilt growing inside her. She had bullied two girls in the past, but now she was realizing the impact of her actions on them. She went to her group of friends and said, "I'm thinking about apologizing to them."

The other two girls frowned and asked, "But why? Did those girls complain about us?"

Tara shook her head. "No, Tanya, Ashika. I've realized that it won't do us any good. We enjoyed seeing their scared faces, but what about them? They must have been broken by our bullying, right?"

Tanya and Ashika lowered their heads. "But what can we even do?" they asked.

Tara stood up, determined to do something. "I'm going to ask for their forgiveness, and I'll inform an anti-bullying organization."

Scared, Ashika shook her head. "No, Tara. If my father finds out we did this at school, he would kill me."

Tanya agreed with Ashika and told her desperately, "Tara, I can't go with you. My father would abandon me if anyone found out about this."

Tara understood that they were scared, so she said, "I'll go and apologize. I'll tell them that I did everything. You don't have to worry. Afterall I am your leader. I have to take responsibility for your actions too"

Tanya and Ashika shuddered at the thought. "But what if those girls tell someone?" they were scared.

"I'll persuade them to blame me for everything," Tara assured them and walked out, determined to seek the victim's forgiveness.

Tanya and Ashika were scared of the outcome so they too requested to transfer their school.

Tara reached the first victim's house and took a deep breath, preparing to apologize. The girl shivered when she saw Tara, but Tara nervously stood there, lowering her head.

"What are you doing here?" the girl asked angrily.

Tara lowered her head and joined her hands, asking for forgiveness. "I am sorry. I am really sorry." She knelt down and begged for forgiveness. "I know you must have been devastated by what I did to you, but I swear I feel guilty."

"Why are you telling me this?" Chavi hissed in anger, pointing at her hair. "Do you know how much I love my hair? I never even allowed anyone to touch them and you stupid woman cut my hair."

She shook her head in anger. "No, I won't forgive you."

Her mother came outside when she heard the commotion and asked them both to come inside. Chavi was still angry, while Tara sat in the chair, filled with guilt.

Chavi's mother looked at Tara and asked, "Are you really guilty about your actions?"

Tara nodded, still lowering her head. Chavi's mother looked into her eyes, which showed genuine remorse. She saw the guilt and turned to Chavi, saying, "Beta, maaf kar do."

Chavi looked at her in disbelief. "What? Why? No, I can't forgive her."

Chavi's mother caressed her head lovingly, "Agar koi sach me apni galtiyo ka pryachit karna chahta hai to use ek mauka milna chahiye beta. Kabhi kabhi kuch logo ko maaf kar dena chahiye." (If someone truly wants to atone for their mistakes, they should be given a chance, beta. Sometimes, we need to forgive people.)

Tara looked at Chavi hopefully. "I know, Chavi, you're really angry with me, but I am truly sorry for everything I did. I thought that by bullying, I would enjoy my life, because I saw many students doing it. I didn't realize how it hurt you. I promise, Chavi, I will never bully anyone again. Please forgive me."

Chavi didn't want to forgive her, but a thought crossed her mind: "Everyone makes mistakes—some small, some big. If she really wants to improve her character and if I can help her, then maybe I should forgive her."

Chavi nodded and said, "Okay, I will forgive you, but you have to give me a treat."

Tara sighed in relief and cried, "Thank you, Chavi. Thank you so much." Chavi looked at her mother, asking if she had made the right decision. Her mother smiled and gave her a positive response.

Tara went to the second victim's house and asked for her forgiveness as well, and she too forgave her. Although Tara had to do that girl's homework for a month, she was relieved to have received forgiveness.

Next, Tara arrived at Twinkle Raghuwanshi's house. She rang the doorbell, but a worker informed her that the entire family had moved somewhere else. Tara thought she could apologize to her later and decided to head to Ashwini's house instead.

After reaching Ashwini's house, Tara took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Ashwini opened it and froze when she saw Tara. She gulped and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Tara, feeling guilty, glanced at her short hair and joined her hands, saying, "I'm sorry. I just came to ask for your forgiveness."

Ashwini smiled and replied, "Well, I was angry with you at first, but I don't mind anymore." Tara sighed in relief and said, "Still, I was wrong. I know I shouldn't have done that to you. I'm truly sorry. I'll do whatever you want."

Ashwini looked at her flatly and asked, "Would you like to drink coffee with me?" Tara frowned and asked in disbelief, "You want to drink coffee with me?"

Ashwini, looking a bit nervous, replied, "I don't have friends at school, so I just wanted to be your friend."

Tara smiled and said, "Of course, we'll be friends, Ashwini." Ashwini invited her in, and Tara went inside, unaware that it was all part of Ashwini's plan.

"Noooooo" A man caught a woman's hair's in his fist and said at her, "You can't escape me. Little Honey. I won't let you go away from me."

She said to him with determination, "I will escape this house of yours. I don't want to endure any of your tortures."

He sighed and made her sit on the couch keeping his head on her lap, "Little Honey, please. I just want a help from you. Please help me just this once."

She was trembling just from his presence, but she spoke to him in a firm voice, "Is this how you plan to climb the ladder of success? Then I would suggest to you, Mr. Bedi, that you don't even try."

He sighed deeply, his expression softening as he picked her up in his arms. "Little Honey, believe me. Trust me."

She shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "No, please... I beg you."

An elder woman came in the hall and started shouting at her, "Sharam to vaise bhi bech khayi hai. Thodi bhi daya nhi aati ye dekh ke ki teri sasu ma akele khana bana rahi hai wo bhi uski bahu ke rehte. Ab kya hi bolu Maharani to uthna bhi pasand nhi karti" (You have already sold your shame. Don't you feel any shame seeing your mother-in-law cooking alone and that too when she have her daughter-in-law. Now what should I say, Maharani doesn't like that either?)

Mr. Bedi glared at her and said in his angry tone, "Saja mili hai phir bhi jaban nhi kam ho rahi." (She's being punished but she's not stopping her mouth.)

He paused and looked at every worker in the hall, "Meri biwi rani hai is ghar ki wo koi kam nhi karegi samjhe tum log" (My wife is queen of this house and she wont do any work did you understand?)

Everyone nodded while the elder woman shivered by his glare. He walked toward his room taking his wife in his arms. He placed her on his bed and said sweetly, "You know Little honey. I never cheated on you"

She closed her eyes as she knows that he's telling the truth. He never touched any other woman after his marriage. He gently touched her lips, while She hissed in anger, "Then why are you with me? you know I cheated on you then leave me Please"

He smirked and said, "you are my wife, little honey and you are supposed to follow my every fucking order." He roamed his finger on her lips and looked at her crying face, "Did you understand Mrs. Anamika Ajay Bedi?"
