Gurukul - The Past Or The Present?

Treat

6 weeks later...

Bandana's POV
I was packing my bag for the Kerala trip. Yes, we were finally going.

"Bandana" I heard Abhay Banna's voice, I looked up and found him standing at the door, "ham baat kar sakte hai please?" He asked.  I nodded and left with him.

"Kya hua?" I asked when we reached Gurukul's garden.

"Actually...please gussa mat hona" He said immediately, "last time Manjot ne esa kaha tha aur bomb fodke gaya tha, ab tumhe kya kehna hai?" I asked tired.

"Actually...so...basically yeh baat mujhe pehle Sameeksha se karni chahiye thi, but mene socha tum uski best friend ho, iss lie tumse pooch lu pehle" He said, I cocked my eyebrows, "kya baat hai?" I asked.

"I...kinda...like...you know" He said, "call me when you're ready" I said turning to leave, "arey nhi nhi please ruko" He sais holding my wrist.

"Iloveher" He said, "what?" I asked as I genuinely didn't catch it, "I love her" He said in a low voice, "volume" I said, "I. Love. Her." He finally said it clearly.

I stood quietly for some seconds and then nodded.

Fantastic.

She loves him. He's also in love with her. This is the damn problem with best friend relationships. When they find their life partner, they just leave you there in the middle. You get so addicted to them that I seems impossible to live without them.

It was my turn. Sameeksha found her love in Abhishek. He will steal her from me.

"Hey? Kaha kho geyi?" He asked snapping his fingers infront of my eyes.

I shook my head, "well...that's really good" I said smiling, "me kya help kar sakti hu isme?" I asked.

"I know...mushkil hota hai. Like tum dono itne close ho to tumhara yeh sochna obvious hai ke me tumhe usse door kar dunga. Trust me, mere bhi do best frieds hai, I can understand" He said. I was surprised, didn't expect him to say that.

"I promise you, kucch nhi badlega. Agar woh haan karti hai to ham dono saath honge but woh tumse kabhi door nhi hogi. Tumse door hone ki bajae woh mujhe door kar degi" He said, I chuckled.

"I just wanted to make sure ke tumhe yeh sab pata ho. You know, tum kucch galat na socho. You are my sister after all" He said and stopped.

"Meri taraf se sab theek hai. Usse jald se jald propose kardo. Usme agar help chahiye to mujhe bata dena, me help kar dungi" I said smiling.

"Can I hug you?" He asked after thinking for a long time, I laughed on that and hugged him.

*******

Sameeksha's POV
It was almost 6pm and Disha and Bandana were no where to be seen. I was sitting in my room, watching tv.

"Surpriseee!!!" Abhishek said coming our of nowhere. "You scared me" I said, "sorry" He chuckled.

"Momos khao" He said giving me the plate. "Thank you!!!! Yeh treat kese? Kucch special?" I asked. "Pehle khao fir batata hu" He said.

I started eating my momos, "jannat hai yaar jannat!!! Kya swaad hai" I said and finished all of them.

"Kucch aur bhi hai tumhare lie" He said, "kya kya?" I asked excited.

He took his right hand behind his back, in order to show me something he was hiding.

It was a huge Pikachu peluche holding a heart with I love you written on it.

I smiled as soon as I saw it, "shittttttt this is so cute yaar!!!!!!" I said holding it, "thank you!!!!!" I said.

"Sameeksha" He said, I looked at him, "yeh mene ese hi nhi diya tumhe, ispe I love you likha hai isi lie diya" He said.

"M...matlab?" I asked, my heart beating fast, "I love you...?" He said.

I looked at him and waited for a couple of seconds. I was a bit confused to be honest, "pooch rahe ho ya bata rahe ho?" I asked. "Moment hi kharab kar dia mera" He said with an annoyed face, "bata raha hu" He said.

"Oh okay" I said and kept quiet. "I love you" I said, he smiled, I could see that happiness in his eyes, "ese batate hai" I said. He made a poker face.

"Good to know! Thanks!! Bye!!!" He said and stood up to leave.

"Arey ruko ruko ruko" I said holding his hand, "I love you too" I said blushing.

"Dekh kya rahe ho? Mujhe sharam aa rhi, apni baaho me chupao!" I ordered. He chuckled and hugged him, I hid my face in his chest.
