Guru-Shishya or Life Partners?

Bandana's confession

Devaki's POV
I was getting ready in my room when Siddharth came. "Siddharth aap yaha?" I asked. He showed me his button with thread and niddle. I smiled and went to him. "Kya lag rhi ho Devaki!!" He said. I was wearing a pink and silver lehenga. I simply smiled.

I fixed the button. "Tumhare blouse ki doori bandh du? Tumse hoga nhi is lie bol raha hu" He said. I nodded. He tied up the strips of my blouse.

I thought he'll leave the room after that but he held my shoulder and looked straight in my eyes. We were just lost in each others' eyes. "Siddharth aap..." I said but he didn't let me complete the sentence. He placed his finger on my lips and then cupped my face. He got close to me. I shut my eyes. He was getting closer and closer. He was so close that I was feeling his hot breaths. I was feeling nervous, God knows why. Was he about to kiss me? No, not a kiss!? I mean, not now...!!

My heartbeat was raising. So many questions were in my mind, everything suddenly stopped. It stopped when those soft lips of him touched my glossy lips.
I felt his lips sealed around my lower lip.

I was so nervous that I wanted to push him away, but at the same time I wanted that liplock to continue forever.
It was like...like an out-of-body-adventure.

I was literally freezed.

He slowly broke the kiss and we opened our eyes. I didn't have the courage to meet his gaze.

Those 7/8 seconds were like the best of my life!

We're just standing there like strangers. We genuinely didn't know what to say.

Suddenly we heard Sumedh Sir's voice. "Bhai neeche aaja ab!! Kitna time lagaega?" He shouted from downstairs. "Aaya!!" Siddharth replied. "Umm, tum...tum tayaar ho jao, ham neeche wait kar rahe h" He said finally looking at me. I was still looking down. I simply nodded and then he left.

"Oh-My-God!!! Kya hua abhi abhi? He just...he just kissed me!! Kiss!! Oh God kiss!!" I thought.
Bandana started yelling from the living room. I left the room and went downstairs.

We left for 'Sapra Palace' where the wedding was taking place. We were quite late.

We were just in time for the main ceremony. Dulha-dulhan took their seven phere and completed all the other stuff.

The marriage function was completed.

Now it was time for dance. We danced a bit. Then Bandana and I left the stage since all the 'sharabis' went to dance.

After dance, it was bidaai time.

Everyone went to their places and we left for home. It was 7pm.

We had dinner and then everyone went to sleep.

Bandana's POV
I was in my room. I was thinking about Sumedh Sir. "Kitna dukhi honghe woh. Aaj ka din unki aakhri umeed tha..." I thought.

Suddenly I saw him going upstairs. He went to the terrace. Then I heard Siddharth Sir's voice. "Yaar blanket neeche h ja le aa please" He said. Sumedh Sir ran downstairs and I was looking at him. He suddenly fall. I ran to him. "Sir!! Kya kar rhe ho aap? Itni jaldi aane ki kya zarurat thi!? Sidiya h!! Dheere nhi aa sakte the??" I asked worringly. His forehead was bleeding. I held his hand and took him to my room. I was about to cry but somehow I controlled myself.

I took the first aid box and went to him. I was about to touch his forehead when he stopped me. "Chodo na Bandana. Tumhe kya fark padta h!? Me jiu ya maru!" He said. I widened my eyes. "SIR? Kesi baate kar rhe ho aap?" I asked shockingly. "Tum aaj bohot khush hogi na? Finally tumne mujhe khud se door kar diya!" He said. Tears started rolling down from his eyes. It was the first time I was seeing him like that. "Pta h, tumhari naa se kitni zindagiya barbaad hongi? Naah, tumhe nhi pta. Tum meri zindagi barbaad krdoghi, kyunki me tumhare ilava kisiko pyaar nhi kar paunga...khud ki zindagi barbaad kroghi, kyunk tum bhi kisise pyaar nhi kar paoghi...Sidd kyunk woh mujhe dukhi dekhega, aur Devaki kyunk woh tumhe dukhi dekheghi!!!" He said holding my shoulders tightly. Even I started crying. I was feeling guilty. He's right, but I was doing this for his life...for him!!

"Tumhari ek haan sab ki zindagi bna deghi!! Mujhe pta h tum naa kyu bol rahi ho, lekin ek baar haan to kaho, dekhna sab kucch theek ho jaega. Mere Aai-Baba tumhare parents se baat krenghe, it'll look like an arranged marriage!!" He said.

He sat on the chair and became silent. We both were crying. Almost five minutes passed.

"Ok! Enough is enough! Me kab tak tadpati raahunghi inhe!? Pehle inhe itna helpless kabhi nhi dekha! Sahi to keh rhe h yeh! Shayad sab thik hi jae" I thought.

Finally I cleared my throat to speak: "Aunty-Uncle kab aenghe Mummy-Papa se shaadi ki baat krne?" I asked. He stopped crying and looked up, towards me as I was standing and he was sitting.

I smiled and nodded. He understood that it was a yes. A wide smile came on his face. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me. I wrapped my left arm around his neck and caressed his hair with my right hand.

Finally we broke the hug. I sat next to him and took some cotton. He was continuously looking at me. I put a plaster on his forehead. "Ab sona nhi h kya? Chalie na" I said standing up. "Tum ese normal kyu behave kr rhi ho? Damn it, you just said yes!!" He said exctingly. I chuckled. "Haan, to iska matlab yeh thodi h k poori raat jaagte rahe!?" I said. He smiled. "Bandana...you know, aaj ka din mere lie best h!! I mean finally tumne haan bol diya!! Mujhe yeh baat Sidd ko btani h, jaldi chalo" He said and held my hand. We went to the terrace and told everything to Devaki and Siddharth Sir. They were damn happy for us. We hugged each other and laid on our beds. The next day we had to leave for Mumbai.

It was almost midnight. I was looking at the sky and Sumedh Sir was awake as well. "Sir..." I said. "Hmm?" He replied. "Mujhe Marathi nhi aati" I said. He chuckled. "To? Mujhe bhi Punjabi nhi aati. Hindi kaafi h, don't worry" He said.

"Sir mujhe Brahmins k kucch rivaaz bhi nhi pta" I said in a low voice. "Brahmins matlab?? Tum Brahmin nhi ho?" He asked sitting on the bed. I shook my head. "Tumne pehle kyu nhi bataya?? Bandana, I'm sorry lekin, mere parents to kabhi nhi maanenghe is rishte k lie. Unhe Brahmin bahu chahiye" He said. I widened my eyes. I was hell shocked. I started crying.

"Are baba me mazak kar raha tha!! I'm sorry! Accha dekho mene kaan pakad lie!! Ab to maaf krdo...Bandana sorry..." He said pulling his ears. I punched on his upper arms. He chuckled and wiped my tears. "Kitni jaldi rone lag jaati ho tum!" He said. "Me nhi roti! Aap rulane wale kaam krte ho!" I said. He chuckled again. "Mere parents ya mujhko koi problem nhi hogi! Tum chahe jesi bhi ho, agar mujhe psand ho to Aai-Baba kabhi mana nhi karenghe!" He said. I smiled and we both slept.
