Guru-Shishya or Life Partners?

Off to Punjab

Sumedh's POV
We got in the train and sat on our respective seats.

Siddharth and I were sitting infront of Devaki and Bandana. We were sitting like that from almost three hours. Bandana and Devaki were chatting and on the other hand Sidd and I were.

We stopped on a station and bought some snacks. We had them and then Sidd suggested to play Antakshri. Everyone agreed.

"Bethe bethe kya kare krna h koi kaam, shuru kro antakshri leke Prabhu ka naam!!" We sang and Devaki had to sang the first song.

"Mere haath me, tera haath ho, saari jannate mere saath ho...tu jo paas ho, fir kya yeh jaha tere pyaar me ho jau fanaa..." She sang.

"Siddharth aapki turn" Devaki said. Siddharth nodded.

"Aankho me base ho tum, tumhe dil me chupa loonga, jab chahu tumhe dekhu aaina bna lungaa" He sang.

It was my turn. "Saale itna poorana gaana lane ki kya zarurat thi? Koi naya nhi gaa sakta tha?" I asked. Everyone laughed.

"Aaj phir tumpe pyaar aya h, behad aur beshumaar aaya hai" I sang looking at Bandana.

"Sir aap meri taraf dekh k yeh song nhi gaa sakte!" Bandana said. "Mera song, mera muh, meri aawaz, meri aankhe, meri Band...meri aankhe, me jese chahu wese gaa sakta hu. Tumhari baari h, next song pesh kiya jae" I said.

"Ham tumhare h tumhare sanam, janeman mohobbat ki har kasam ki kasam, naa judaa honge ham; ham tumhare h tumhare sanam..." She sang. I smirked. "Zada khush hone ki zarurat nhi h! Koi aur aa nhi raha to yeh gaa diya, bas" She said to me. I chuckled and nodded. Somewhere inside we both knew why she sang that song.

Siddharth's POV
It was Devaki's turn but she had to sing on 'M' again to we swapped our turns and I sang the song.

"Muskurane ki wajah tum ho, gungunane ki wajah tum ho, jiya jae na jae na jae na, ore piya re..." I sang. Devaki smiled and lowered her eyes.

"Haan tere muskurane ki wajah to ab yehi rahegi...itne saalo ki meri dosti to bas, timepass thi na" Sumedh said. I chuckled.

I wrapped my arm around Sumedh's shoulder. "Kya yaar? Tune woh baat nhi suni: pyaar agar pant h to dosti chaddi h..." I said. "Bas bas aage ki mujhe pta h. Saamne larkia bethi h thora lihaaz krle" He said. We all burst into a laughter.

We played a bit more and then we stopped at a station. Bandana and Sumedh went to buy some snacks.

I sat next to Devaki. "Kya hua?" She asked. "Neend aa rahi h" I said. "To waha bhi to so sakte the" She said. "Waha tumhara shoulder nhi tha sar rakhne k lie" I said. She smiled. "Koi dekhega to kya sochega?" She asked. "Yehi ki couple kitna cute h!!" I said. She smiled again. After ten minutes they came back. I wasn't falling asleep. "Aapko neend nhi aa rhi na? Aap sirf mere paas aane ka bahana dhoond rahe the" Devaki said. "Bingo!!" I said. She chuckled and shook her head.

It was dinner time. We had dinner and then decided to sleep.

"Mujhe neeche wale bed pe sona h" Devaki said. "Mujhe bhi" I said. "Kyu? Upar kutte bethe h jo kaatenghe?" Bandana asked. We chuckled. "Nhi re, mujhe upar darr lagta h, neeche gir gey to?" Devaki said. Bandana rolled her eyes
She finally jumped and sat on the bed on the top. As expected Sumedh decided to sleep on the bed on Bandana's right.

We laid and fall asleep.

Bandana's POV
I was laying on the bed and looking up at a small bulb. "Sir, aap mujhe ese pichle 10 mins se taar rhe h, please stop it now!" I said. He chuckled. "You too" He said. I looked at him and cocked my eyebrow. "Tum bhi mujhpe nazar rakhna band kro, varna tumhe kese pta k me pichle 10 mins se tumhe 'taar' raha hu?" He asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Yaar aapko neend nhi aa rhi? Sote kyu nhi?" I asked irritatingly. "Tum so jao pehle, fir me bhi so jaunga" He said. I turned to my left side, so that my face wasn't visible to him. I was in that position from 15 mins.

"Bandana, mujhe face na krne ka boht hi ghatia idea nikala h tumne. I know tumhe left side pe neend nhi aaeghi, just turn on your right side" Sumedh Sir said. I turned to my right handside.

"Aapko kese pta mujhe right pe hi neend aati h?" I asked. "Devaki ne btaya" He said. "Such a kamini!" I whispered.

I shut my eyes. "Good night!!" He said. I opened my eyes. "You know what? Bad night! Bad dreams!!" I said. He smiled. "Nhi aaenghe...tum saamne ho to acche sapne hi aenghe" He said. I controlled my smile.
"Bhagwaan, I hope aaj ka din sabke lie accha beeta ho. Kal ka din aur bhi accha ho. And yes, inhe boht hi acche dreams aur neend ae...thanks" I wished. I always pray this before sleep.

I finally fall asleep.

Sumedh's POV
When the train stopped in the morning, I woke up. Devaki and Siddharth were having breakfast. I got fresh and they gave me a plate of samosas. I had the breakfast and sat on the bed again.

I was looking at Bandana. Finally she got up. "Good morning" She whispered as she looked at me. "Good morning baby" I said. She gave me an angry look and went to get fresh.

I asked Devaki why was she angry. "Sir usko kabhi bhool k bhi 'baby' mat bulana. She hates it!!" Devaki explained. I smiled and nodded.

Bandana came back. She had her breakfast. "Maharani ji thora aur so lete aap? Abhi to sirf 11.30 bje h. Itni jaldi uthne ki kya zarurat thi?" Devaki asked Bandana. "Dekh subhah subhah taunt mat maar please!" Bandana said. "Subhah? 12 bajne wale h!! Suraj sar pe chad gaya h!!" Devaki said. "To me kya kru? Neeche utaru Suraj ko? Khane de chen se yaar!" Bandana said. We chuckled. She loved her sleep so she always woke up late.

Siddharth and Devaki were busy with each other. I was staring at Bandana and she was just looking out of the window. "Sir aap zid chod kyu nhi dete?" Bandana asked sweetly. "Tum haan kyu nhi kar deti?" I asked. She rolled her eyes. "Bandana, me tumse zada ziddi hu...haan to tum zarur kroghi" I said getting a bit close to her.
