Gurukul - A Life Changing Twist In Four Lives

Part 40 - 'Raajkumar Sushim Maurya'

"Mujhe nahana h" Sidd said. "To?" I asked. "To tum jao, ya mere saath aane ka iraada h?" He asked. I smiled and shook my head. "Nhi btado, agar han to saath me naha lete h" He said. "Sidd!!" I said and punched his arm. He grinned.

I went from there. I was passing by Charu's room. I heard some weird voices. The door was slightly opened. I looked in. She was sitting down and was doing something weird. She was saying something, like she's giving a command to someone. I couldn't understand. I left thinking that it wasn't my business.

Bandana's POV
Sumedh and I were standing out of Ahankara's room. Everything was fine, but then suddenly we heard some noises. We looked in: Sushim was throwing things, candles, flower pots, glasses...everything! Ahankara was sitting on the ground, in a corner of her room. She was so damn scared! I tried to go in but Sumedh stopped me.

After sometime Sushim left. We got back to our room. We discussed this with Sidd and Samaira. They narrated what they saw. Samaira was lost in her own world. We asked her and then she told us about Charu.

Everyone was thinking silently. "Guys...ehmmm...black....black magic?" Samaira said in a low voice. We looked at her making a poker face. "Black magic jesa kucch nhi hota!" We three said to her, actually almost yelled. "Lekin sab wesa hi lag raha tha!" She said. "Tumhe misunderstanding hui h! Kaala jaadu nhi hota!" Sidd explained. "Thik h, mat mano! But I'm sure, Sushim k saath kucch esa hi hua h!" She said. We ignored her.

The next day, we kept following Sushim. The same thing happened the second day as well. For one whole week, thing didn't change.

Sumedh's POV
What we noticed, were Sushim's meetings with his mother. They were always in the same time of the day and the duration was exactly the same. Once we tried to look and what we saw was just a simple conversation between them. Just like a common mother-son conversation.

The other day Miss RCB and I went in Ahankara's room. We were talking to her when Sushim came in the room. We decided to stay in the room, so that we can undersrand what happens between Ahankara and him.

He was behaving normally. He talked to us and Ahankara just like nothing ever happened. Even Ahankara was feeling comfortable. We started talking about archery. Ahankara told us that Ashoka is an excellent archer. She was used to call Sushim "Raajkumar Sushim Maurya", sarcastically. "Parantu hamare Raajkumar Sushim Maurya to Ashoka se bhi behter h. Inka koi mukabla nhi" Ahankara said. We smiled. We thought Sushim will be happy.

Sushim's expression changed as soon as Ahankara finished what she was saying. He grabbed Ahankara's neck. We were shocked to see him like this. I tried to stop him but his grip was hell strong! "Raajdrohi ki putri ko esi baate shobha nhi deti. Tumhara dusshaas bhi kese hua mujhe mere naam se pukarne ka?" He yelled. Ahankara wasn't even breathing properly.

Finally I pushed Sushim away. Miss RCB made Ahankara sit on her bed and gave her a glass of water. I turned towards Sushim. "Pagal ho gey ho tum? Raajkumar Sushim Maurya hi to kaha tha usne!!" I yelled on the top of my voice. He looked at me with an innocent face but didn't reply. Then he looked towards Ahankara, and that evilness was again visible in his eyes. He went to her but I stopped him.

It was so damn difficult to handle him. He never reacted like this before, atleast not infront of us. "Sushim kya ho gaya h tumhe? Mere sirf Raajkumar Sushim Maurya kehne par tumhe itna krodh kese aa sakta h?" Ahankara asked while crying. When she finished, Sushim's expressions changed. This sudden change shocked us. Now he was looking like the most loving and caring person in the world. Ahankara wasn't really surprised, but we were.

"Kya hua?" Sushim asked. I widened my eyes. I looked at Miss RCB with a question mark on my face. "Sushim?" Miss RCB said. He didn't say anything and left. We were thinking about what just happened. It wasn't normal.

Miss RCB and I were talking when Ahankara interrupted in between. "Esa to har waqt hota h" She said. We looked at her and asked what did she mean. "Har baar Sushim ese hi vyavahar krta h" She said. According to her Sushim always did this: before he was normal, then he turned evil and then normal again. The common thing was words 'Raajkumar Sushim Maurya'. He always changed after listening to them. "Ahankara tumne pehle kyu nhi btaya? Yeh aam baat nhi h!" I said.

We left her room and went to Miss RCB's room. We told everything to Sidd and Samaira.

When we were trying to find a good solution about our serious problem, Samaira spoke: "Guys I think its Black Magic!" She said. We looked at her making a poker face. "What- The-Hell are you talking about?" Sidd said. "Samaira wesa kucch nhi hota! Ham Science students h yaar!!" Miss RCB said. They were still talking when something popped in my mind. "Yeh Science word sunke mere dimaag me ghanti baji" I said. Sidd cocked his eyebrow and they asked me what did I find out. "Pehle ek aur kaam krna h fir btata hu" I said.
