Guru-Shishya or Life Partners?

Meeting

Bandana's POV
We got home. I saw a letter on my name. I opened the envelope. As I was reading it, my anger was reaching its peak. I went straight to Taran's room. "What the hell is this?" I yelled. "Aapke haath me h, mujhse kiya pooch rhi ho?" He said. "Gurukul se bulavaya aaya h. Tumne aaj koi kartoot ki h, uske lie" I said gritting my teeth. He looked at me and made an innocent face. "Didi meri galti nhi thi" He said. "I don't want explanations!! Kal tu mere saath aega us teacher se milne...by God agar kucch serious hua na to me tujhe wahi peet doonghi!!" I said and left the room.

The next day...
It was afternoon so I went to meet that teacher with Taran. I knocked the door and got in. I was shocked to see who was the teacher! "Bandana tum yaha?" Sumedh Sir asked. "Sir me to...Taran k saath ai thi. Woh, iske parents ko bulaya tha na" I said. He nodded. "Haan mene hi bulaya tha...wait.. tum Taran ki...?" He asked with a question mark on his face. "Behen hu" I said. "Ohhh...umm...ohh...mujhe...pta nhi tha actually" Sir said. He signed us to sit.

I gave Taran a death glare since Sumedh Sir is my favourite teacher and this idiot did something stupid infront of him!

We weren't speaking. There was an awkward silence in the room. Sumedh Sir was looking down. "Sir?? Aapne baat krne k lie bulaya tha na?" I asked. He smiled and nodded.

Sumedh's POV
I didn't want to say what Taran did. I don't know why but I didn't want to disappoint her.
"Yeah...well actually...mujhe kehna tha k...Taran aaj kal bohot acche se padhai kar raha h" I said. Taran widened his eyes. "Yeah...he's a really good student. Manners to koot koot k bhari h. Behaviour...God kiya btau? Bas he is a superstar!" I said.

Bandana cocked her eyebrow. "Are you sure you're talking about Taran and not someone else?" Bandana asked. I nodded. "Ohk...well that's a bit surprising. Aur mujhe jo letter mila, uspe to likha tha k isne kucch galat-valat kiya tha..." She said. I nodded. "Haan, woh to choti-moti baate h...hota h baccho me. Overall everything is fine" I said. She nodded with an ear to ear smile. After that they were about to leave when I stopped them. "Bandana mujhe Taran se akele me kucch baat krni h" I said. She nodded and left the classroon.

I went to Taran. "Champ, me jaanta hu tum boht acche student ho, aur jo kal hua woh ek particular case tha. Hope it doesn't happen again" I said and he nodded. He left.

The next day...
Siddharth'a POV
It was 7 am and we three were already in Gurukul. I went in the Sports Hall to set up the nets for the lesson. I saw Bandana sitting on the bench. "Are tum yaha? Itni subhah? 7 bje to teachers bhi nhi aate" I said. She stood up and greeted me. "Haan woh...mujhe kucch kaam tha library me to jaldi aa gey" She said. "Ok, aur baaki dono?" I asked. "Woh ghar pe h...baadme car se aaenghi" She said. "To tum kese ai?" I asked. "Bus" She replied. I widened my eyes. "Bus? Itni subah?" I asked worringly. "Haan kyu?" She asked. "Tumhe bus se aana nhi chahiye tha. Aage se mat aana please. Aur haan, yeh baat mujhe to btadi lekin Sumedh ko bilkul mat btana" I said. "Kyu?" She asked. "Kyunki me keh raha hu" I said. She just nodded.

Well, I knew how dangerous was travelling in buses in Mumbai, especially for girls.

"Sir me yaha so jau? Ek ghante k lie?" She asked. I smiled and nodded. She fell asleep on the bench.

Sumedh came. "Yeh yaha kya kar rhi h?" He asked. "Kucch kaam tha...chal aaja meri help kar...yeh net wala laga" I said. He helped me. We did all our work. It was 8 o'clock. Bandana woke up. Sumedh already went to his class and Bandana stayed with me as she had Sports.

Students came in and we did the attendence.

"Ok today we'll to some gymnastics...my favourite!" I said. Some of them were happy some were not.

We did some warm up and stretching. I divided the class into two, one group went to play volleyball while the other group did gymnastics with me.

"Handstand kisko aata h?" I asked. Nobody raised the hand. As expected. Some of them weren't even properly awake! "Bandana!! Wake up!!" I said in a bit loud voice. "Are yaar! Uthi to hu" She said.

"Chalo handstand krke dikhao" I said. She widened her eyes. "Yaar nhi aata mujhe handstand" Bandana replied. I rolled my eyes. "Bridge?" I asked. "I know that" Diksha said. She did it and it was pretty well. "Well done Diksha!" I said.

"Vese ham gymnastics kis khushi me kar rhe h?" Devaki asked. "Woh khushi tumhe Punyakar btane wala h next lesson me" I said. "Kyu? Usko baccha hone wala h?" Diksha asked. I laughed. "Woh usi se pooch lena" I replied.

"Diksha tum Devaki ko bridge sikhao me dusre group ko dekh k aata hu" I said. She nodded and I went.

I came back after ten minutes. "Sir isko nhi aa raha" Diksha informed. "Ok...maybe she need some more stretching...ummm, handstand sikhata hu me tum logo ko" I said. I looked at Bandana: she was yawning. "Ohh?? Aalsi?? Utho!!" I said to Bandana tapping on her cheek. She made a puppy face. "Tum ese nhi sudhroghi...push ups, chalo shuru ho jao" I ordered. "Push ups?? Are you sure? Cricketer hu!" She said with a smirk. I nodded.

She started. I helped Diksha and Devaki with the handstand. Diksha was doing it and it was fine. Devaki was still facing problems. Her balance wasn't good so I held her feet while she did the handstand. "Are its ok...me kar lunghi!" Devaki said. "Chup!! Dekha mene kya kiya tumne" I said. She kept quiet. We did it a couple of times and now it was fine. "Ghar pe bhi practice kar lena, better ho jaega" I said. She nodded.

"Sir!! I'm on 57...aur kitne krne h?" Bandana asked. "Kyu thak gey?" I asked. "Naah...woh shabd meri dictionary me nhi h...me to wese hi pooch rhi thi" She said. I chuckled. "Continue" I said.
