Mumbai ki bus

"Bandana woh Devaki aur Diksha to chali gey" Siddharth Sir said. "Matlab mujhe firse bus se jaana prega!?" I said dissapointingly. I looked at Punyakar Sir, he placed his finger on his lips to sign me to shut my mouth.

Sumedh's POV
"Firse?" I asked. "Woh me subhah bhi bus se aai thi na" Bandana said. I looked at Sidd and Punyakar. "You guys knew about that...?" I asked. They passed me a fake smile.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Yeh aur Devaki yaha abhi ae h, Diksha ko to pta hona chahiye!" I said. "Dude, Diksha Mumbai ki nhi h!" Punyakar said. "Yeh bola Diksha ka vakeel" Sidd said. We chuckled.

"Bandana tumhe ham ghar chod denghe...come" I said. "Nhi Sir, I'll manage...me chali jaunghi" Bandana said. "Bandana chalo na...ham drop kar denghe tumhe" Sidd said. "No Sir...woh actually...mohalle ki aunties ki baate fir mujhe sun-ni parenghi" She said biting her lower lip. I smiled.

"Tum dono jao, me ise bus me chodke aata hu" I said.

We went to the bus stop. It was afternoon so there were many people getting in the bus. Luckily we found two seats.

We were sitting from five minutes when we saw an old couple. We immediately stood up and gave them our seats.

We were standing when some goons came in the bus. They stood next to Bandana. I moved from my place and made her stand by the door. I kept both of my hands on her left and right to make sure that nobody touches her.

Bandana's POV
Sumedh Sir was standing really close to me. I was just looking down. I didn't have that courage to meet his gaze. He was protecting me and maybe those goons were the reason why he didn't want me to travel alone.

At some roundabouts, his body was touching mine and that was sending shivers all over my body. I was actually sweating that time.

Finally we reached our stop and got out of the bus.

"Ok then see you" Sir said. "Are yaha tak ae h to ghar chaliye na please" I said. He shook his head. "Mohalle ki aunties kya sochenghi?" He said getting a bit close to me. I smiled. He smiled back and then left.

We I got home, my phone vibrated. I unlocked it and saw some Whatsapp notifications. I smiled when I read them. I showed the screen to Devaki and she started jumping by happiness. "Tujhe kaha se mila?" She asked. I got Siddharth and Sumedh Sir's phone numbers. "Mahi Bhai ne team ka group bnaya h na, wahi se mile" I said. "Mujhe bhi add kar na please" She said. "Sochne de" I said. "Bandana don't be a kutti!!" She said. I chuckled. "Chal ek glass rooh afza bnade fir add krva doonghi" I said. "Jab dekho rooh afza" She said. "Are ruk ruk...just kidding yaar. Me khud bna lunghi, aur tujhe add bhi kar dunghi" I said. She smiled and nodded.

It was night. I still had to finish Sumedh Sir's assignment. I started it. I was typing from almost an hour so I took a break. I opened my whatsapp. Suddenly I got Sumedh Sir's message.

*Conversation*

Sumedh Sir:- Hey...itni raat ko online? Soi nhi?

Bandana:- Hi Sir...aap bhi to nhi soe

Sumedh Sir:- Me to tum logo k submit kie hue papers check kar raha tha.

Bandana:- Me bhi aapka diya hua assignment poora kar rhi thi.

Sumedh Sir:- Aur poora din kaha thi? Tab kyu nhi kiya?

Bandana:- Gurukul se aake job pe gey (part time) fir gym gey, thori rest ki...ab time mila to abhi kar rhi hu.

Sumedh Sir:- Are waah! Bohot hardworking ho!

Bandana:- Thank you thank you. Ok, good night Sir, assignment poora nhi hua to aapse chatting ek accha excuse nhi hoga

Sumedh Sir:- Hahaha, yeah correct, good night.

Oh God! I just chatted with Sumedh Sir!! I mean, I actually have his number! Don't know why, but I was really excited and happy about that.

I finished the assignment and went to sleep.

Devaki's POV
*Three months later...*
We got back from Gurukul and I went to my room. In those days I was really concerned about how I looked, maybe for Siddharth Sir, actually especially for him.

I fall in love with him. But I didn't want to reveal it infront of everyone, even if Bandana and Diksha knew it somehow.

It was afternoon and Sumedh Sir and Punyakar Sir went to Andheri, for a college meeting, as they were representing dance from Gurukul.

When I went out of the bathroom I got a call. It was an unknown number. I picked up. "Hello, me City Hospital se bol raha hu, Mr Siddharth ka accident ho gya h aap please jaldi aa jaie" A person said. I was hell shocked when I heard that. I was feeling my hands and legs shivering. Tears started flowing down my eyes.

Bandana and Diksha came to me and asked what happened. I told them. "Dekh, tu pehle rona band kar...ham...ham chalte h na" Diksha said. I nodded and wiped my tears. We went to the City Hospital.

Siddharth Sir was in a room. He had a plaster on his head and right hand. I ran to him and he held my hand. "Kya...kya hua..." I asked controlling my tears. "Are kucch nhi, ek chota sa accident hua. Car drive krte krte thora control nhi raha..." Sir replied. "Are tum ro kyu rahi ho? Look, I'm perfectly fine!!" He said. "Haan dikh raha h mujhe!" I said. He chuckled.

"Me doctor se milke aati hu" I said. He nodded.

Bandana, Diksha and I went to see the doctor. "Dekhie jab inhe yaha laya to yeh baar baar Sumedh, Punyakar aur Devaki ka naam le rhe the. Sumedh aur Punyakar phone nhi utha rahe the to hamne inke phone se Devaki ka number nikaal k aapko call kiya" He expained. Bandana gave me a nudge. I blushed. We thanked the doctor and went to see Siddharth Sir.

I sat next to him.

Diksha's POV
Bandana called Sumedh Sir. They were done with the meeting so they came to the hospital.

We weren't allowed to stay in the room so Bandana, I, Sumedh and Punyakar Sir waited out of the room. Punyakar Sir sat next to me and gave me a nudge. "Kya hua use?" He asked. I told him everything. "Oh...dara diya tha tum logo ne! Itna sa to hota hi rehta h!" He replied. I cocked my eyebrow. "Itna sa?" I said. He nodded.
