Gurukul - A Life Changing Twist In Four Lives

Part 3- "Buddha satak gaya!"

Samaira's POV
We left for home. It was the first day so we were already tired. We had some rest.
It was 6 o'clock. Bandana left for the airport.
I was home alone, and I was bored like hell. I got a message on the phone. 'Number save krle' it said. 'Ab yeh kon h!?' I thought. I looked at the dp and it was none other than Siddharth. I smiled and saved his number. He called me. We talked for about twenty minutes. "Maa bula rahi h, baadme baat krta hu" He said and ended the call. I went in the kitchen and prepared dinner.

Bandana came back at 11 o'clock. She laid on the sofa. I cocked my eyebrow. "Yaar traffic boht thi" she said. She was really very tired. She had dinner and then we went to bed.

Sumedh's POV
Two weeks were gone. We four became good friends: Samaira shared a good 'dosti' with me, Bandana started talking to me but oftrn she felt shy, God knows why. But it was better than the day she met me for the first time.

Our first lesson was Astronomy. We four went to the classroom. Siddharth and Samaira sat in the third row while Bandana and I sat in the second one. The class was looking like the Solar System: stars and planets were painted on walls and models of shuttles were everywhere.
Sir came in and the lecture started. He was our new teacher. He was looking 50 years old. He sat on his seat and opened his books. After reading the book for five minutes, he finally spoke. "Today I will give you a task" He said. "According to me, the Earth is not a sphere but it is flat, prove me wrong" Sir said and closed the book. The class was hell shocked. An astronomy teacher is saying that the Earth is flat!?

Like, dude are you kidding me or what? "Yeh hame astronomy paraega? Are yeh to khud Baba Adam ke zamane ka h!" I whispered to Bandana. She chuckled. Nobody was speaking. Sir was expecting explanations, theories, laws and so on.
Finally Siddharth spoke. "Well, astronauts ne photos click ki h Earth ki, woh bhi space se" He said. "Tum log photoshop se editing kar sakte ho to woh nhi kar sakte?" Sir said. Why the hell would they do that!? Bandana told her theory: "Sir, agar Earth flat hoti to yaha day-night aur seasons me fark nhi hota". Good point. "Woh islie kyunk Earth still h; Sun Earth k chakkar lagata h" Sir said. I placed my hand infront of my eyes. "Rehne do Bandana, buddha satak gaya h" I said. "Aap kucch bolo, shayad aapki maan le" She said. "Naah, me ese tucch logo k lie apne keemti words waste nhi karta" I replied. She grinned.

I was bored like hell. Everyone was giving right explanations but Sir had some stupid answer to prove them wrong. I gave a nudge to Bandana and tapped my index finger on the wrist twice. She looked at her watch and showed me two. "Mujhse nhi hota ab" I said annoingly. "Bas do minutes aur survive kar lijiye" She said. I nodded. Sometimes its wierd when she talks to me. Yes I'm one year elder than her but she talks to Siddharth with a 'tu' and to me with 'aap'!? Why?

Finally the bell rang and we left the classroom. We went towards the parking lot. "Car kaha park ki?" Siddharth asked. "Umm, kisi per k paas thi" I said. He made a poker face. "Kitne per h yaha aur kitni cars h! Kaha dhoondeghe ab?" He yelled. Gurukul's parking lot looked even bigger than Gurukul.
After looking for almost twenty minutes, we found the car. "Garmi bohot h, ice-cream khane chale?" Siddharth said. Everyone agreed, except of Bandana.

"Are nhi, aaj meri practise ka pehla din h, me late ho jaunghi" Bandana said. "Eh nautanki, nakhre mat dikha, chup chap chal hamare haath!" Siddharth said and held her hand. We had our ice-creams. It was lots of fun! Bandana was getting late so Samaira and she left.

Bandana's POV
I was late. The first time in life I was late for something, otherwise I'm always on time. I dropped Samaira home and left for the stadium. I reached it in twenty minutes. After parking the car I rushed in the changing room and got changed. I went downstairs. My teammates were sitting on the field, discussing maybe the practice session. Virat Sir was looking really very angry. I was damn nervous. I went towards them and greeted them. They stood up. I was standing like a primary school student, who didn't do the homework. Virat Sir came infront of me and stood there with crossed arms. I was happy to see him after almost a year but nervous as he was definetely going to punish me. "Kaha thi?" He asked. I looked down without saying a word. "Bandana me kucch pooch raha hu" He said gritting his teeth. "Sir woh, college me thora late ho gey" I said. "Kese?" He asked. "Sir, I'm extremely sorry, aage se esa nhi hoga, pakka" I said. Sarfaraz was standing behind Sir, looking at him I felt a bit confident. "I HATE EXCUSES!!" Sir yelled. I was standing all numb. "Chahe match me ho ya life me, excuses nhi chalte! Galti ki h to saza bhugto!" He said.
