Chapter 44 - Operation Gone Wrong(Again)

Scene 1: Early Morning Suspicion

The office was unusually quiet.

Too early for chaos.

Which is exactly why—

Kriti was already there.

She entered slowly…

looking left.

Then right.

And then—

took out a thin blue-black towel from her bag.

She held it up proudly.

"Today… masterpiece."

Scene 2: The Setup Begins

Step one—

Ayaan's chair.

She carefully wrapped the thin towel over the backrest.

Perfectly aligned.

Neat.

Almost… professional.

Step two—

she rotated the chair slightly again.

Step three—

files rearranged in "almost correct but not really" order.

Step four—

she whispered:

"This time he won't catch me."

From behind—

Mahi's voice:

"He will."

Kriti jumped.

"When did you come?!"

Mahi:

"When you started being suspicious."

Kriti:

"You're not supportive."

Mahi:

"I'm realistic."

Scene 3: Ayaan Arrives

Ayaan entered.

Calm.

Controlled.

He walked to his desk.

Sat down.

Paused.

The towel.

He touched it slightly.

Looked at it.

Then at the chair.

Then at the files.

Silence.

"Kriti."

Across the room—

Kriti froze mid-step.

Scene 4: Caught (Again)

Kriti turned slowly.

"What."

Ayaan:

"Come here."

She walked like a criminal.

Ayaan pointed at the chair.

"What is this."

Kriti:

"Interior improvement."

Ayaan:

"This is an office."

Kriti:

"Offices can be aesthetic."

Ayaan:

"You changed my system."

Kriti:

"I enhanced it."

Ayaan looked at her.

Long.

Silent.

Scene 5: Punishment Declared

Aditya walked in just in time.

"What happened?"

Ayaan:

"Your student upgraded the office."

Aditya looked at towel.

Then at Kriti.

"…You planned this."

Kriti:

"Yes."

Aditya:

"Badly."

Kriti:

"I hate both of you."

Ayaan stood.

"Punishment."

Kriti sighed dramatically.

"Three hours."

She nodded.

"I expected that."

Ayaan continued:

"No talking."

Kriti froze.

"…Again?"

Ayaan:

"Starting now."

Scene 6: Silence Begins (Again)

Kriti sat down.

Mouth sealed.

Eyes full of betrayal.

She looked at Mahi.

Mahi didn't even react.

Scene 7: Silent Complaints

Kriti grabbed a paper.

Wrote:

"THIS IS UNFAIR"

Showed it to Ayaan.

Ayaan:

"Good handwriting."

Kriti flipped page aggressively.

Wrote:

"YOU ARE EVIL"

Aditya leaned over.

"Grammar is correct."

Kriti glared at him.

Scene 8: Towel Revenge Backfires

Ayaan removed the towel.

Looked at it.

Then placed it… on Kriti's desk.

"Keep your improvements with you."

Kriti pointed at herself like:

ME??

Aditya:

"Now your desk looks aesthetic."

Kriti slammed the table silently.

Scene 9: Physical Comedy Mode

Kriti started:

spinning her chair

tapping desk aggressively

pointing at clock every 10 seconds

Ayaan (without looking):

"Time doesn't move faster."

Kriti stared at him in disbelief.

Scene 10: Unexpected Progress

After a while—

Kriti actually started working.

Quiet.

Focused.

Aditya noticed.

Checked her file.

Paused.

"…Correct."

Kriti looked up instantly.

Eyes shining.

She almost spoke—

Stopped herself.

Covered her mouth.

Aditya (slight smirk):

"You're learning."

Scene 11: The End of Torture

Three hours felt like forever.

Finally—

timer ended.

Kriti stood up dramatically.

"FREEDOM—"

Stopped mid-sentence.

Looked at Ayaan.

"…Can I talk now?"

Ayaan nodded once.

Kriti exploded:

"THIS IS THE WORST OFFICE IN THE WORLD—"

Aditya:

"And yet you're improving here."

Kriti:

"That's against my will."

Mahi (calm):

"No. That's growth."

Kriti pointed at both of them.

"I will take revenge again."

Ayaan:

"You will fail again."

Kriti:

"We'll see."

Final Scene

Ayaan back to perfect control

Aditya slightly amused, slightly impressed

Mahi calm as always

Kriti… planning her next "masterpiece".

And the blue-black towel… now permanently on her desk.

And somewhere in all this chaos—

progress was happening.

Even if Kriti refused to admit it.
