'Aao Raja'

We finished the test and the lesson was over.
We had sports so we got changed and went to the Sports Hall.

Siddharth Sir was waiting for us. "Guys thorasa warm up kar lete h. So 20 minutes running will be fine" He said. "Yeh thorasa h?" Diksha whispered. We started running. After 15 minutes I was almost dead.

"Ehh, ruk na...please" I said to Bandana and Diksha. "Devaki? What happened?" Sir asked. "Sir mujhse aur nhi bhaaga jata" I replied. "To gowd me uthalu?" He asked. I widened my eyes. He chuckled. "C'mon, I'll run with you" He said. We chatted a lot while running. He's an amazing teacher, I must say. He's not like other boring teachers.

We finished the warm up and he decided to play badminton. I never played it, but Bandana and Diksha were good.

Siddharth's POV
As soon as Devaki held the racket, I understood that she doesn't know how to play. Everyone else started. I went to her.

"Backhand serve easy h to pehle voh seekhlo" I said. She cocked her eyebrow. 'Backhand Serve' wasn't in her dictionary. I taught her. She learnt the grip but was missing the shuttlecock.

"Tumse kucch nhi hoga! Ruko!" I said. I stood behind her. I held her right hand in which she had the racket and then the left hand un which she had the shuttlecock. We threw the shuttlecock in the air and hit it. Finally!

We did that few more times and finally she learnt it. "Ab tumhare saath me khelunga" I said. I went to the other side of the net and we started playing. She was a quick learner.

The lesson finished and everyone got changed. They went to their classes and I went to the staff-room.

Diksha's POV
We had the Music lesson so we went to the class. Punyakar Sir was waiting for us. "Ok, so today we'll practice a song" Sir said. "Diksha, choose a song...any song" He said to me. "Ok...umm...Neha Kakkar's 'Aao Raja'..." I said. He looked at me and lowered his eyes. "Ok...maybe another one? Jo vulgar na ho" He said. I chuckled. "Aapne kaha any song.. to mujhe wahi psand h" I said. "Ok then you will sing it" He said. "No no no. Koi aur hi thik h. What about...Arijit Singh's 'Tum hi ho'?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. I was supposed to play the piano. Bandana was playing the guitar. Devaki was singing in the female voice. Punyakar Sir was the male singer. We got the musical scores and started. As a professional pianist, I didn't face problems. Devaki made a same mistake many times. "Abe eh!! Sur ko thora neeche kar!" I said to Devaki. "To Dexter tum kyu nhi gaa leti!?" Bandana asked me. I gave her a death glare as she called me Dexter. "Dexter?? Matlab?" Punyakar Sir asked. "Ohh yeah!! You don't know. Me samjhati hu. Basically ek movie thi 'Night at the Museum' usme ek Capuchin tha h, which is a species of monkey, aur uska naam tha Dexter. Diksha ka naam D se h so I call her Dexter, aur Devaki ko Capuchin!" Bandana explained. He burst into a laughter.

Finally he was done. "Ok so Dexter...I mean Diksha, you will sing now!" Sir said. I nodded and started singing. It was damn good to sing with him. He's such a good singer...oh God!

But still I don't like him. The lesson finished and we got out of the class. We were done for the day so we left for home.

Bandana's POV
When we got home, I got a call and I got ready to leave. "Dexter aur Capuchin, me jaa rhi hu thore time k lie ghar ko sambhaal lena" I said. "Oye kaha jaa rhi h?" Devaki asked. "Mahi Bhai k yaha" I said. She cocked her eyebrow. "The Captain Cool??" Diksha asked. I smiled and nodded. I met him in London when I was playing for my domestic team and he was there for an international match.

I left for Mahi Bhai's house.

When I arrived, I saw Sakshi Bhabhi at the entrance. "Namaste Bhabhi, kesi ho aap?" I asked. "Me thik hu, aaja dono Captains tera kaafi der se intezaar kar rhe h" She said with a smile. I got in and saw Mahi Bhai and Virat Bhaji waiting for me. I went to them and greeted them. We started talking about random things and then finally they got to the point. "Tune kaha tha tujhe Indian Women's Cricket team me khelna h...lekin..." Mahi Sir said. "Dekha mujhe pta tha, yeh aap dono k bas ki baat nhi h" I said. "Poori baat to sunle pehle" Virat Bhaji said. "Hamne BCCI se baat ki h, aur woh tujhe Indian National Cricket Team me daalne k lie maan gey h" Mahi Bhai said. I widened my eyes. "Lekin woh to men..." I said and Virat Bhaji cut me in between. "Dekh, tu hi kehti h na k kudi munde me fark nhi krna chahiye? To yehi mauka h. Ab khudko sabeet krde...ya abhi ya kabhi nhi, decision is yours" He said. I thought for a while. "Practice kab se shuru krni h?" I asked. They happily smiled. "Welcome to the Team!" Thet said and we did the handshake. Mahi Bhai went in the kitchen to help Bhabhi and Virat Bhaji was sitting with me. "Nervous?" He asked. I nodded. He smiled. "Don't be! Tu vadia player h. Aur waise bhi, Team me do aur munde aa rhe h" He said. I just nodded. Who cares about others man? I was worried for me.

Mahi Bhai came. "Wese International matches k lie abhi thora time h. Tu seedha IPL me khelegi" He said. "IPL? Kitni baar? Abhi ek khatam to hua tha" I said. "Haan lekin is baar ek aur aa raha h. Mini-IPL" Virat Bhaji said. We had some snacks and then I left for home.
