Gurukul - A Life Changing Twist In Four Lives

Part 2- "Welcome to the team!"

Samaira's POV
I went to the Sports Office and met the Head of sports. "Hmm, hockey? Well, you have to meet the captain of the team" She said. She called Siddharth. Damn, he was even more handsome in real life. They discussed for a while and then Siddharth came to me. "Well, team me to tumhe rakhlu, I don't mind, but tumhe hockey k baare me kucch pta h?" He asked. I was just looking at him. The way he was explaining, the way he was moving his arms and hands, the way he was speaking...ahh, it was just amazing. He cocked his eyebrow. I realized that he was expecting an answer from me. "Ehmm, zada to nhi but seekh jaunghi" I said. He thought for a while. "Ok, koi aur sport khela h kabhi?" He asked. I nodded. "I'm Samaira Singhania, Mumbai City Football Club ki vice captain" I said. He widened his eyes. He was surprised. "Really? Oh my God! That's awesome! I mean...wow!!" He said as he couldn't control himself. I smiled. "Ok ok, autograph baadme le lena" I said looking somewhere else. He chuckled. "Welcome to the team Samaira" Siddharth said doing a handshake with me. We went to the canteen and spent an hour there, since we had a free period. We became good friends in less time. He told me about his likes, dislikes, habits and so did I. After an hour there was a 30 minutes break. Bandana called me and I told her that I'm in the canteen. She came to us. Bandana cocked her eyebrow as she saw Siddharth. "Ohh...yeh Siddharth h aur Siddharth yeh Bandana h meri friend" I said. They did a handshake and Bandana sat with us. I told him that Bandana is a cricketer in RCB. He was really happy to meet her. He appriciated the way she plays. "Thanks, vese Dhoom 3 meri favourite movie h" Bandana said to him. He chuckled and thanked her.

Bandana's POV
"Ek baat puchu?" Siddharth said. I nodded. "Tum cricketers ko tattoos ka itna shonk kyu hota h? Mene kaafi cricketers ko dekha h tattoo k saath" He said as he looked at my wrist, which had a 'BS' tattoo. I smiled. "Yeh to mujhe bhi nhi pta Siddharth" I said. He smiled. "Vese 'B' for Bandana aur 'S' for?" He asked. I tried to make excuses: actually, 'B' was for Beatking and 'S' was for Sumedh. "Wohh..." I said looking at Samaira. "Ohh boyfriend?" He said. "Are nhi nhi, I don't have a boyfriend! Samaira meri friend h na to its Bandana and Samaira" I said. He smiled. I went to take the plates of samosa and then went back to the table. "Tumhe kisi Sarfaraz ka call aya tha" Siddharth said. "Kya?? Pehle kyu nhi btaya??" I yelled. "Ohh...to 'S' for Sarfaraz? Woh h tumhara boyfriend?" Siddharth asked excitingly. "Woh mera teammate h!" I said gritting my teeth. When I was checking the missed call, Sumedh came and sat with us. Samaira was looking at him continuosly. I looked at Samaira, making a poker face and signed towards Siddharth. She smiled and looked somewhere else. I called Sarfaraz.
Bandana: Kesa h? Kya hua call kyu kiya?
Sarfaraz: Tune call kyu nhi uthai? Pagal zaruri baat krni thi.
Bandana: Are sorry yaar. Chal bta kya baat h.
Sarfaraz: Shaam ko tujhe mere saath airport aana h, kisiko receive krne jaana h.
Bandana: Are nhi aaj nhi, me boht thaki hui hu.
Sarfaraz: Virat Sir ka order h, ham dono ko hi jaana h. Tere do heroes aa rahe h!
Bandana: Kiya? Woh dono aa rahe h??

I was damn excited that they were coming. I ended the call. "Kise lene jaana h Miss RCB?" Sumedh asked. Words were like stuck in my throat. "Ji...woh...IPL shuru ho raha h to foreign se do cricketers aa rahi h, unhe lene jaana h" I said hesitatingly. Amayra and Siddharth looked at me and then at each other. I was talking to them in an informal way and now I turned the completely opposite.

"Aa rahi nhi aa rahe h!" Amayra corrected. Siddharth chuckled. My face became deep red. I am damn stupid! 'Log pero pe kulhari maarte h aur me apna per kulhari pe maar rhi hu! Bandana calm down!' I thought. We started having the samosas. "Vese lene kise jaa rhi ho?" Siddharth asked. "Watto Sir aur AB Sir" I said eating the samosa. He looked confused. "Australian cricketer Shane Watson and South African cricket team's captain AB De Villiers" I explained. He widened his eyes. He held my shoulders: "YOU KNOW THEM?" He yelled. I nodded. "RCB me h woh dono, ek saal se personally janti hu" I said. "Aur kon h RCB me?" He asked. "Virat Sir h..." I said. He interrupted me in between. "Virat Kohli?" He said. I nodded. "Mujhe bhi milna h!!" Siddharth begged. "Are yaar hamari practice shuru hone wali h kucch dino me, tum tab mere saath aana aur jisse milna ho mil lena!" I said. He happily said yes.

It was the end of the day and we were going home. Samaira and Siddharth were walking behind us. Sumedh and I were walking together but I wasn't saying anything. He started the conversation. "Miss RCB ek baat btao, tum mere saath ese behave kyu krti ho? Sabke saath hasti khelti ho aur mere saath ese baat krti ho jese ek ek shabd ka tax lagta ho" He said. I smiled. "Nhi esi baat nhi h, kisi k saath familiar hone me mujhe thora time lagta h" I said. He stopped me. "Ok, to tumhe khud se me familiar krvata hu. Thora time lgega but ho jaoghi. So...friends?" He said, asking my hand for a handshake. Friend? Sumedh Mudgalkar my friend?
I smiled and completed the handshake.
