Gurukul - A Life Changing Twist In Four Lives

Part 34 - Costumes

Sumedh's POV
Acharya was ready to help us. While we were talking, a guy came. He was looking an acharya, just like Acharya Chanakya but he was quite young. Acharya explained him everything and then he spoke to us. "Yeh Radhagupt h, yeh bhi aapki sahayta krega" Acharya said. We nodded. Acharya Radhagupt asked our names. "Hi, me hu Siddharth" Sidd said as he took his hand infront of Acharya, to do a handshake. Samaira gave him a nudge. He immediately folded his hands: "Pranam Acharya, mera naam Siddharth h" He said. "Me Samaira hu" Samaira said. "Me Sumedh" I said. He looked shocked when I said my name. He looked at Acharya Chanakya. "Me Bandana" Miss RCB said. "Ji bandana to ham roz krte h bhagvan ki" Acharya Radhgupt said. "Nhi nhi, mera naam Bandana h" She said. We all chuckled.

"Radhagupt, inhe vastr dedo, jese Magadh me dharan kie jaate h" Acharya Chanakya said. We went with Acharya Radhagupt and he gave us some clothes. We got changed. They we a bit awkward, actually I was looking like a joker. "Acharya upar kucch nhi pehnte?" I asked looking at my six packs. I was 'shirtless' (guys imagine Sushim's costume). "Pehna to h!" He said. "Lekin...chalie chodiye" I said. Miss RCB and Samaira came. They were looking gorgeous!! Miss RCB's dress was really nice (guys imagine Ahankara's dress). As they looked at us, they started laughing. "Han han, very funny" Siddharth said. "Kya yaar, kese log h!? Bakwaas c salvaar pehna d!" I said. They laughed even more.

Acharya Chanakya came. We all stood properly and stopped laughing. "Kucch samay me ham prasthaan krenghe" He said. "Kya karenghe?" I asked. "We're gonna leave man!" Siddharth said. "Lekin kaha k lie?" I asked. "Pataliputra" He said. "Ham yaha kisi vishesh karya k lie ae the, woh karye sampann hua ab hame Pataliputra k lie prasthaan krna hoga" He said. We nodded even if it took sometime to translate his language.

We didn't know horse riding so we had to travel in a palanquin. Everyone was ready, we were just waiting for Ashoka and Acharya Chanakya. I started talking to Acharya Radhagupt. "Acharya ek baat btaye, yaha sab hamari taraf dekhte hi chok kyu jaate h? Aur mujhe dekhk to darte h log, esa kyu?" I asked. He smiled. "Pataliputra pohonchne do, sab pta chal jaega" He said. "Accha. Acharya Ashoka ne hame apni Maa ka naam Subhadhrangi kyu btaya?" Siddharth asked. "Use Dharma kehne ki aadat nhi h. Kucch maah poorv hi use gyat hua h k woh bhi ek rajkumar h" He replied.

Finally they came. We sat in the palanquins and left. God!! It was so damn slow!! I mean even a kid walks faster! And Pataliputra was really far from us. According to Acharya Chanakya, we had to travel for the whole night.

"Kaha phas gey yaar!?" Siddharth said. "Tum dono ne hi fasaya h!" Miss RCB said. He rolled his eyes. "Yaha sabse zada khush woh rahega jisnne Mahabharatha aur Ramayan dekhi h!" Samaira said. The language that actors spoke in historical and mytholigical shows was the same as the one that Mauryans spoke. "Well, mene Ramayan dekhi h" Sidd said. "Mahabali Hanuman and Maharana Pratap!!" Samaira said as she raised her hand. "Devon ke Dev Mahadev, Chandragupta Maurya" I said. "Suryaputra Karn and Jhansi Ki Rani" Miss RCB said raising her hand. Well we knew a bit, but we weren't used to speak their language.

"Goodnight. Jab pohonch jae, tab utha dena" I said resting my head on Miss RCB's lap. Siddharth and Samaira got in the other palanquin to sleep, since there wasn't enough space in our palanquin.

Miss RCB was caressing my hair and looking outside. I was looking at her. I held her hand in mine. She looked at me. "Kya hua?" She asked. "Kucch nhi...You love me na?" I asked. She smiled. "Yeh kesa sawal hua? Ofcourse I do! Koi shakk?" She said. I smiled and shook my head. "To tumhe mujhe kiss krne me bhi koi problem nhi hogi!" I said. She widened her eyes. "Sumedh...me woh...ese kese..." She stammered. I smiled. "Just kidding. Jab sahi time aega, me khud krlunga" I said. She blushed.

I was hell tired. C'mon we travelled a lot in one day, many centuries!!

Miss RCB placed a kiss on my forehead and I fall asleep.
