Gurukul - A Life Changing Twist In Four Lives

Part 37 - Jab We Met

I was standing next to a pillar when someone came and hugged me from the back. He held my hand and wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked at his hands. He was definetely Sumedh. I could feel his height, his body, his hands, his face...but his touch and his smell were a bit different. I ignored that fact.

He got a bit close to me, his cheek was touching my cheek. He was Sumedh, then why was I feeling uncomfortable!? It never happened before. I turned a bit towards him. As I saw his face, I burst into a laughter. He left me and looked confused. I wasn't stopping. "Yeh...yeh...kesi wig pehenke ae h aap?" I asked. "Kya? Kya keh rhi ho Ahankara?" He asked. I finally stopped. "Ahan...what? Sumedh, what are you talking about?" I asked. "Yeh konsi bhaasha me vartlaab kar rhi ho tum?" He asked. Ok, lets get serious, that wasn't Sumedh's accent. His Hindi wasn't like that. "Kon ho aap?" I asked being serious. Now he started laughing. "Are yeh kesa prashn h?  Me Sushim hu!" He said cupping my face. As I heard that name, I immediately pushed him away. I was about to run when he held my wrist. "Ahankara kaha jaa rhi ho!?" He asked. I was trying to free myself but it was impossible!

"Miss RCB? Kya hua?" I heard Sumedh's voice from behind. I turned and saw him. Thank God! He came to me. Sushim left my hand and I hugged Sumedh, as tight as possible.

Sumedh's POV
I hugged Miss RCB back. I looked at the guy who was standing with her. He was my look alike! The only difference was his and my hairstyle. He was looking shockingly at me, just like I was looking shockingly at him. Finally Miss RCB broke the hug. "Sumedh...Sumedh...mujhe laga...aap yaha...yeh..." she was hell scared. I cupped her face. "Miss RCB, calm down! Its ok! Me aa gya hu" I said.

"Kon ho tum?" We said in unision. He spoke first. "Me Sushim Maurya hu, Samrat Bindusara ka jeshth putr" He said. "Me Sumedh hu" I said. "Ahh, wahi jo Acharya Chanakya k saath ae h?" He asked with a smile. I nodded. "Han Acharya ne btaya tha, lekin yeh Ahankara..." He said as he was confused. "Ahankara!? Nhi nhi, yeh to Miss...yeh to Bandana h" I said. Miss RCB was hiding behind me. She was actually scared of Sushim, don't know why. "Shama kijiye. Bilkul Ahankara jesi lag rhi thi to..." He said. I smiled. "Are nhi nhi, koi baat nhi" I said. After few talks, he left. Miss RCB took a sigh of relief.

"Kya hua? Darr kyu gey thi?" I asked. "Woh Sushim tha! Ashoka ka bhai! Jo history hamne padhi h uske hisaab se Ashoka ne iska murder kiya tha" She explained. "Lekin kyu? Kamina tha?" I asked. She grinned and nodded. "Matlab hame yaha isko hi badalna h!?" I asked. She nodded.

So our task was turn this handsome villain in a hero? Cool, it was tough but still not impossible.

"Tum bachke rehna isse" I said. She smiled and nodded.

"Sumedh, matlab jisne aapko thappad maara woh Ahankara thi?" Miss RCB asked. "Are han! Tabhi to woh gussa ho gey aur mene usko pehchana bhi nhi!" I said.

We were still there when we saw Ahankara. She looked at us and widened her eyes. We smiled. "Tum to..." She said confusingly. "Ji me wahi hu, mujhe kshama kar dijiye, mujhe kaga Bandana ai thi" I tried to explain. She smiled. "Koi baat nhi, mujhe abhi abhi Acharya Radhagupt ne btaya" She said.

Sidd was calling me so I left.
