Gurukul - A Life Changing Twist In Four Lives

Part 8 - Hockey with Siddharth

We had dinner and then went to bed.

The next day at Gurukul...
Siddharth was starting hockey practice from that day.
I went in the changing room and got changed. Except of Siddharth, nobody was in the stadium. "Baaki sab kaha h?" I asked. "Ham dono hi h" He said. I widened my eyes. "Are yaar, tum beginner ho; tumhare lie coach bhi me aur captain bhi me. Pehle tumhe sikhaunga baadme team ka dekhenghe" He said. I nodded. He threw a hockey stick and I caught it.
Siddharth smiled as he saw the grip. "Samaira, yeh badminton nhi h!" He said. He came to me and taught how to hold the stick.

Siddharth showed me how to use the stick and move the ball with it. He was playing perfectly. He was ruling the ball.

It was my turn. The ball was going two meters to the right and four to the left. Wow!! Well done Samaira! He gave me many tips. I controlled the strength and power and it was a bit better.

We were playing from almost two hours, so we took a break.

After the fifteen minutes break we started again.
"Goalkeeper ka kaam sikhaata hu tumhe, aao" He said. I nodded and went towards the goal. He stood behind me. I was holding the hockey stick in the right hand. He held my right hand. He was so close to me. Oh God! Please Siddharth Nigam stop it!  I looked back and I was literally blushing. "Sharmaana band kro aur aage dekho!" He ordered. I blushed even more. "God!! Thik h, tum pehle jee bharke sharmalo; jab ho jae to btadena" Siddharth said and sat on the ground. I chuckled.

He was staring at me. "Ho gya Siddharth" I said in a low voice. Hi shook his head and smiled.

Siddharth stood up and taught me the other bit that was left. I learnt a lot that day.
"Aaj k lie itna hi kaafi h" Siddharth said. We got changed and went towards the parking lot, where Bandana and Sumedh were wainting.

Bandana's POV
Our lessons were finished so we went to the parking lot. Siddharth and Samaira weren't there. We started waiting for them.
"Bandana you know, DID me ek dancer ai h, Beatqueen..." Sumedh said. I nodded. "You saw her?" He asked surprisingly. "Hmm, thik thak dance kar leti h" I said looking somewhere else. For me its impossible to say a truth looking in his eyes, and this time I was lying!
"Thik thak matlab? Yaar me to fan ho gya uska! Kya dance krti h! Deva re Deva! Kaash me mil pau usse" He wished. I widened my eyes. He was my FAN? He wished to meet ME?

Samaira and Siddharth came. We shared some good moments of the day and then left for home.

In the afternoon I had the practice. "Samaira me car leke jaane wali hu" I informed Samaira. "Chal chal! Mujhe shopping k lie jaana h! Car me leke jaunghi" She said. We had a discussion on that and at the end she won. She was taking the car. "Ok fine, who the hell is going to take me to the stadium then?" I yelled. She thought for a while. "Ummm, I don't know" She said at the end. I rolled my eyes.

Ok, jokes apart I was actually serious.
After thinking for all the possible solutions, Siddharth came in my mind. I called him.

Bandana:- Hi Siddharth. Ek favour chahiye tha

Siddharth:- Badle me mujhe kiya milega?

Bandana:- Ummm...yaar Samaira jesi larki d to h tujhe!

Siddharth:- What do you mean?

Bandana:- Chal chal nautanki, sab pta h mujhe! Dosto se khucch nhi chupta!

Siddharth:- Accha favour kiya chahiye yeh bta

Bandana:- Stadium choda please. Virat sir se bhi mil lena.

Siddharth:- Han han kyu nhi, lekin Sumedh ko saath lena prega 'cause mere paas driving license nhi h.

Bandana:- Accha to unhe bol dena...mere paas unka number nhi h

Siddharth:- What? Tu itne time se h uske saath and still you don't have his number?

He gave me Sumedh's number and I called him.
