Gurukul - The Past Or The Present?

A month

Bandana's POV
The nurse was cleaning Manjot's wound and I know it was painful for him.

He shut his eyes and bit his lower lip. I couldn't see that anymore, so I turned to leave.

He held my wrist tightly, "yeh tumhara hi diya hua hai" He said pointing at his forehead, "dard me dekhna chahti thi na mujhe? To ab kyu jaa rhi ho?" He asked.

I stood there quietly, looking away.

"Oww!!" He said and I immediately looked at him. "Arey yaar dhyaan se karo na!! Dard ho raha hai usko" I said to the nurse.

Manjot looked at me, "okay listen, I seriously don't care about you. Bas koi dard me hota hai to mujhse dekha nhi jaata" I said. He rolled his eyes.

Finally the nurse placed a bandage on his forehead and we were ready to leave.

"Mandy" Abhay Banna said coming in. "Tu theek hai?" He asked placing his hand on Manjot's shoulder.

Manjot nodded.

"Woh Rahul sir ne tum dono ko bulaya hai" He said. Manjot and I looked at each other.

*******

"Me jaanta tha tum dono ki apas me nhi banti, par iss hadd takk?" Rahul Sir said to us, "bacche ho dono?" He asked.

We were just standing with our heads lowered.

"You know what? Tum dono ese nhi sudhroge. Ese kaam aage bhi karte rahoge" He said, "isi lie mene ek decision lia hai".

"Aaj se ek mahine takk tum dono har moment saathme rahoge" He said, we immediately looked up.

"Bas hostel rooms me alag alag hoge, sona alag, shower alag, toilet alag, baaki sab saathme. Hostel rooms se nikalte hi tum dono ek saath dikhne chahiye mujhe" He said, "Sir..." Manjot said, "I'm not done yet" Sir said gritting his teeth.

"Agar tum dono kahi akele dikhe, to yaad rakhna India me cricketers ki kami nhi hai. Tum dono ko team se nikalne ka raasta dikhane me mujhe time nhi lagega" Sir said.

"Am I understood?" He asked, we kept quiet. He repeated the question in a slightly louder tone, "yes Sir" We said in unision.

"Ab khade kya ho? Out!" Sir said, we turned to leave. "Manjot ka khayal rakhna Bandana" He said, Manjot and I looked each other with anger in our eyes, "sure Sir" I said and we left.

Shubman's POV
I was staring at Disha's dp on my phone. Maybe I like her, shall I try to give her a chance?

Oh God, I'm sounding like Abhay and Mandy. No.

"Aaj ki taaza khabar!! Aaj ki taaza khabar!!!" Abhay shouted in my ear. I locked my phone.

"Shubman ko Disha se pyaar ho gaya hai!" He said dancing.

"Mr Gill, aapko kesa lag raha hai?" He said bringing his shoe in front of me, as if it was a mike.

"Ji pehle to aap apne baasi joote ko side me kijie" I said politely, he did what I said, "bilkul vesa lag raha hai jesa aapko Bandana ko dekhke lagta hai" I said with a smirk.

"She's like my sister" He replied with a weird expression, "ohkay, to vesa lagta hai jesa aapko Sameeksha ko dekhke lagta hai" I said.

"Yeah, she's definetely not like my sister" He said. I chuckled, "there you go" I said.
