Gurukul - The Past Or The Present?

Proposal

Bandana'a POV
Abhay Banna, Shub and I were done with gym. We were having drinks when I asked Abhay Banna, "Manjot ko kya hua hai? Ajeeb behave kar raha woh".

"P...pata nhi, kyu? Kya kia usne??" Abhay Banna asked, "I don't know, ajeeb hai bas. Flirt kar raha tha" I said awkwardly.

"Shub tumhe pata hai? Kucch bataya usne?" I asked Shub.

He looked down, "mujhe kucch kaam hai, baadme baat karunga, sorry" He said and left.

"Ab isse kya hua?" I asked. "Chodo na" Abhay Banna said, "Mandy to sabke saath flirt karta hai, usme kya naya hai" He said. I hummed.

Sameeksha's POV
Abhishek was studying with me, I mean he was trying to study.

I feel butterflies in my stomach when I see him, it happened after I had that dream about him.

Maybe Bandana was right, but he won't have the same feelings.

"I think we should take a break" Abhishek said stretching his arms and pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Break? 10 minutes hue nhi aur break?" I asked. He chuckled, "yeh sab moh maya hai" He said pointing at the books.

"Dekho kitna hot ladka saamne betha hai, thoda hamse bhi batiyaa lo" He said.

I shook my head, "tumhara kucch nhi ho sakta" I said, "arey! Hoga na, 4 bacche honge mere. Tum haan to bolo" He said with a smirk.

I widened my mouth, "badtameez!" I said hitting him.

"You know what, anatomy me reproduction wala chapter tum mujhse parh lena" He said, "theory ke saath saath practical bhi kara dunga" He finished.

I looked at him, "how disgusting" I said making a face. "Yeh to niyati ka khel hai. Mel milaap to hona hi hai" He said, "mujhe na karna mel milaap, jaake koi aur patao" I said.

"Arey karlo. Vese to bowling ko chodke me sab kaam fast karta hu, par tumhare lie sab dheere dheere se" He teased me.

"Abhishek!!!" I controlled my blush, "cheeeee" I said. He started laughing.

Shubman's POV
It was 7pm. I was waiting for Disha. I told her to come to the ground at 7.

I finally decided to propose her. Nervousness was killing me. I was biting my lips when I received Abhay's call.

"Aai?" He asked, "abhi nhi" I replied. "Aaegi bhi?" I heard Mandy's voice. "Bhai esa mat bol, boht himmat karke decision liya hai" I said.

"Abhi bhi bol raha hu, vapas aaja, kucch nhi rakha iss pyaar vyaar me" He said, "saale uska to ghar basne de" Abhay said to Mandy.

"Abhi konsa ghar basaega woh???" Mandy asked Abhay.

"Aai!! Aai!!!" I said and ended the call.

"Aapne yaha kyu bulaya? Woh bhi iss time?" She asked, "sab theek hai na?" She asked. I hummed.

"To yaha kese bulaya?" She asked. "Woh kucch...baat karni thi" I said. "Haan boliye" She said.

I looked up, "sambhaal lena" I said in my mind.

"Shubman?" She called my name, I looked at her.

"Kya hua hai aapko? Ese ajeeb behave kyu kar rahe ho?" She asked smiling.

I took a deep breath.

"Yeh jo ground hai na, yeh sab kucch hai mere lie. Iss sport ke bina meri life kucch nhi" I said looking at the pitch.

We were standing somewhere at square leg.

"Yeh boht special moment hai meri life ka, to me chahta tha isse yehi pe jeeu" I said looking at her.

"Disha" I said holding her hands, "I like you Disha. A...aur me iss rishte ko ek chance dena chahta hu" I said pulling her a bit closer.

"I feel that...you are the one. Me chahta hu ke..." I was saying when she pushed me, "Shub...man...k...ya keh rahe hai aap?" She asked looking here and there.

"E...esa ku...cch nhi ho sakta" She said looking down.

"Disha meri baat to..." I said, "nhi! Bas! Esa kucch nhi ho sakta" She said and left hiding her tears.

I stood still, not understanding what just happened. She rejected me without even listening to what I was saying. I was feeling that pain in my chest. Why did she reject me? Am I not good enough?

Sameeksha's POV
"Bhai? Dimaag hai tere me?" Bandana asked me. "Woh banda tujhse itni gandi baate kar raha tha aur tu hasske aa geyi?" She asked.

I told her about the conversation between me and Abhishek.

We heard the door opening. Disha came in and without saying anything, she just went to the washroom.

"Isse kya hua!?" Bandana said confused.

"Umm..." I said looking at my phone's screen, "Disha ne Shubman ka proposal reject kar dia" I read Abhishek's message.

"Shoot" Bandana said and ran towards the washroom.

"Disha!! Darwaza khol" She said banging the door, "Disha please bahar aa, hame bata kya hua" She said.

Disha was not replying.
