Bandana's POV
The train was about to stop so Sumedh Sir lost his balance and was about to fell on me. I placed my hands on his chest. We had an eye lock and then we both looked at my hands on his chest. I immediately pushed him away. "Haaww!! Bandana!! Itni vulgarity? Woh bhi public place me? Shiiii!!!" Sumedh Sir said. I was about to say something when he just shook his head and went back to the seat. He smirked and winked at me. I smiled and shook my head.

Finally after that long time, our station arrived. We got out of the train and stretched our bodies a bit. Then I started looking around. When I turned I saw that Devaki, Siddharth and Sumedh Sir were looking at me. I cocked my eyebrow. "Aage?" They asked in unision. I chuckled. "Ohh aage? Yaha se Auto leke pind jaenghe" I said. "Kaha?" Devaki asked. "Pind...are yaar gaon" I said. We took out bags and went to an auto. "Hnji madam kitthe jaana h?" The driver asked. "Bhaji Bashesharpur chaloghe?" I asked. He immediately nodded and we left for my village.

I was looking out. God!! Finally Punjab! I loved it more than anything else! Oh, no, maybe I love Sumedh Sir more...

After an hour the driver spoke. "Madam waha traffic boht hoga" He said. "Bhaji mujhe kaccha raasta pta h...waha se lelo" I said. "Tumhe abhi bhi raaste yaad h? I mean tum yaha 7 saal baad ai ho!" Siddharth Sir said. I nodded.

Finally we entered the village. There were green courts on the left and right of the road. Then the residential area came. "Bhaji yahi rokdo" I said. We paid him and got down. "Ghar kaha h?" Devaki asked. "Ghar baadme jaenghe. Me jab bhi yaha aati hu, pehle Gurudware jaati hu" I said. "Cool, ham bhi chalenghe" Sumedh Sir said. We went in. Sumedh Sir was going in like he knows everything, but soon I understood that he never went in a Gurudwara. I held his hand. "Kaha? Sir pe rumaal lena h pehle!" I said. "Inko apne saath hi rakhie Sir" I said to Siddharth Sir as girls and boys don't sit together in a Gurudwara.

We prayed infront of the Holy Book. "Puttar boht saalo baad ai h, kesi h?" The priest asked. "Thik hu Gyani ji, aap kese ho?" I asked. We chatted a bit and then we left.

It was 5 pm so many people were roaming on the road.

Almost everyone knew me so they were greeting me.

"Raat ko hamare ghar aa jana" A lady I knew said. "Thik h Mamiji" I said. We went. "Mamiji? Yeh tumhari mummy ka gaon h?" Sumedh Sir asked. I nodded.

Finally we arrived. Nobody knew that I was coming. And I was hell excited!! The main door was opened and that lead to a corridor, which then ended in the veranda. We went in. "Mami!!!" I shouted as I saw my aunt. She turned and I hugged me tightly. "Kab ai? Bta to deti!!" She said. We broke the hug and smiled. Siddharth Sir and Devaki greeted her. Sumedh Sir touched her feet and hugged her. "Mamiji? Kidda ho tussi?" He asked. How the hell did he know Punjabi? I was surprised. He looked at me and winked. "Me thik hu tu suna" Mami said. He smiled.

We got in and sat in the sitting room. Slowly slowly everyone started coming. We had some juice and then Mami went to make tea. "Yeh gorgeous lady kon thi?" Siddharth Sir asked. "Meri favourite Mami, Tanu Mami" I said proudly. They smiled. And then the little champ came. He jumped on me and I hugged him. "Champ!!! Kesa h re tu?" I asked. "Thik hu Didi...yeh sab?" He asked. I introduced them. "And he is my little Champ, Vansh...Tanu Mami ka beta" I said. He greeted everyone and hugged Sumedh Sir. Then he started talking to him. They were looking cute, I must say.

My Naani and Nanaji came. We greeted them. "Peri ponna Biji!! Peri ponna Bauji!!" Sumedh Sir said touching her feet. "Itna maska!?" I tought. He hugged them.

Everyone was damn happy to see us. We had a cup of tea.

"Mami ham dulhe raja se mile aate h" I said. She nodded and we went to the sitting room.

Ahh, finally!! There he was! My best brother, Yash Bhai. "Behen k bagher hi shaadi fix krli na Bhai? Dikha diya apna pyaar?" I asked. He turned and saw me. He ran to me and hugged me. He met everyone and then we sat together. "Proper tayaariya kal se shuru hongi, tera hi wait kr rahe the" He said. I smiled and nodded.

We went upstairs to put our bags there. I found sometime to talk to Sumedh Sir. "What the hell was that?" I asked. "What?" He asked like he didn't know what was I talking about.

"Mere gharwalo se itna friendly hokar baat kyu kar rhe the aap?" I asked. "Are yaar, me unka honewala damaad hu" He said. I rolled my eyes. I was about to say something when Champ came and called us for dinner.

We went downstairs and started having dinner.

As usual everything was damn tasty. Devaki, Siddharth and Sumedh Sir enjoyed dinner.

After that, it was bed time. In punjabi villages, many people sleep on the terrace.

We went to the terrace and there was a cooler and some manja beds on its left. We took our blankets and started fighting for the bed. Beds were in a line. "Mujhe garmi kam lagti h to me last wale pe so jaunga" Siddharth Sir said. "Me Siddharth k bagal wale pe" Devaki said. "Mujhe garmi boht lagti h to me cooler k pass wale pe sounga" Sumedh Sir said. "Aur me second wale pe" I said. Sumedh Sir smirked. Soon I understood the reason. I was sleeping on the bed on his left. Beds were single but next to each other. "No! Mujhe nhi sona second wale pe. Me last wale pe soughi" I said. "Mujhe thand lag jaeghi...tum second wale pe hi soghi!" Siddharth Sir ordered. "Champ tu mere paas sone wala h na?" I asked to Vansh. "Haan didi, aapke aur Sumedh Bhaiya k beech me" He said. I nodded and we laid on our beds.

"Didi kahani sunao na!" Vansh said. "Mujhe nhi aati kahani" I said. He made a puppy face. "Accha thik h. Ek tha Raja ek thi Rani...dono mar gey khatam kahani!" I said. "Didi!!" He said disappointingly. Sumedh Sir and I chuckled.
