Teri Meri Kahani with BB

CHAPTER 8

Its weekends, finally the day I was waiting for. I am a little nervous today. Mommy had gone to duty. I was alone looking through the window. My hair is all messy, I took a shower and combed it into a nice bun. I checked my phone for any notifications again and again. Why am I being so timid?
"Kaun sa ghar hai tumhara!" came his message sharp at 10. I ran out of my house to find Bhuvan was waiting for me.
"Aa gye?" my heart filled with glee.
"Ho gaya padhna complete?!" he asked me while I led him to my home.
"Yep" I nodded.
I led him to my room, "Kitta bada room hai tumhara?" he ran his eyes around everywhere.
"Haan... thori badi hai" I sighed, all these conversations are overshadowed with keen sense of grief.
"Kya baath thi?" he asked me, keeping his notebook on desk.
"Ruko, I have some Rooh afza, mommy told me to serve them first when guest arrives." So, I went to my kitchen leaving him behind.
After atithi satkar and stuff, I started, "Bhuvan!" I stammered a little.
"Kal... Aayush... call kia tha" I feel that words are getting jumbled in my head.
"Kya?" he couldn't drink the thing, placed the glass on tray, "Kya bola woh?"
"Tum pi lo batati hun!" I wanted to take some time.
"Batao abhi" he seems to be tensed.
"Aayush is blackmailing me again! He wants money, paise!"
"Paise maang raha hai tumse?"
"Nhi tumse... he wants me to get money from you!"
"Mujhse? Toh tumhe kyu bol raha hai?"
"I don't know, he has some of the pages of my diary, which I use it to write about someone" I sighed.
"Tum tensen maat karo, I will get it back to you?" he assured me that my things will be all right.
"But..." I laughed instead. "Jisse mai woh pages personal rakhkhi thi itna din, agar wahi padhega toh mera chaupat ho jaega!" my hindi is now damn good.
"Kiske bare me hai ye?"
"I used to write the information I get about the things that you like!" I confessed at last!
"Matlab?" he was confused.
"Matlab ye ki I used to like you from very first day and collected information about your likes and dislikes, things that you do, your hobbies, all about you!"
He was silent.
"I am sorry! I didn't wanna tell you, this Aayush is making me! I am sorry, really..."
"Sorry? Sorry? kis bath ka sorry?" he smirked in joy.
"You have a girlfriend, right?" I wanted to know everything about him.
"Breakup ho gya, bohot din ho gye!" he finished up the drink.
"Aayush was telling me if I don't get money from you, he will tell the whole school that I like you!"
He was smiling at me, "Tum is baath se daar rahi thi!?" he was laughing hard.
"Yes, because I don't wanna confess that I love a guy like that. I really hurts my ego, there was a time when I confessed to a boy in Shillong, he said proposals are guy thing, I shouldn't do that. That guy was 4 years older than me." I turned to the window, "I was afraid of talking to boys, in class 6, one of his friends, teased me, he said that I was not at all in level as his! My group laughed at me. That's why I consider one direction as my guys." I sighed.
"Try me!" he said.
I only smiled turning towards him.
"But paise kis liya maang raha hai tumse?" I tried to change the topic.
"Wohi toh baath hai, uska baap films maang raha hai, ye paise, pata kya chal raha hai?"
"Tumne pucha nhi, kyu?"
He nodded. "Pucha tha, kuch nhi bola!"
There was silent again. I could feel light on my heart. It's upto him now, I told him what I wanted.
"Jiske lia aya tha woh shuru kare?"
I chuckled. "Yes, sure?". He looked around my room, "kitta sara posters!"
"At times when I feel crazy, I stare at them!" I told, rearranging the table.
Just then the bell rang, Banchordas has come. I ran open the door, he brought Sameer too. "Ye bhi saath aya!" Banchordas said with a smile.
"Welcome, Bhuvan ander hai!"
"Kifke?" Sameer asked.
"Ghar k!" I laughed, "Mere room me hai woh!" I can now crack things that he says without Bhuvan's help.
I found Bhuvan was reading the Tintin book, which I was reading last night.
"Tumhare dost aa gaye!"
Bhuvan frowned and smirked. "Padhai gaya jhaand me ab toh!"
"Kaise jhaand me jaega! Ak ak ko bithaungi ak ak parts se, easy karke mai first samjhaungi, agar nhi samajh aya toh puchna! Phir I will question! Got me?"
"Isko padhana na mumkin hai!" Bhuvan pointed towards Banchordas.
"You bet!" I smirked.
"Tum baitho mai aati hun" and I headed towards the kitchen.
When I returned with drinks and stuff, I found the were discussing about Aayush.
"Abhi nahi, padhai pahale!" I placed the stuff on bed, and searched for my notebooks. "Three of you will choose a part! What do you want to study?" three of them raised their hands to study biology!
"Physics aur chemistry kaun padhega, mera bhoot?! Sameer!" I ordered, "its bio for you, chemistry for Banchordas, and physics for Bhuvan. Ok! Now in physics what do we have, motion and forces and laws of motion! This is for you!" I handed him the respective notes. "Matter in our surrounding and atoms and molecules. This is for you!"
"In bio, fundamental units of life, and diversity in living organisms!"
"Lemme explain first, in motion derivation is very important, for these three equations, ratta maaro avi k lia, agar nhi ho raha toh ye lo" I handed Banchordas the chits I have made for the derivations.
"Motion me rest body motion body you guys know?"
"Haan the body which is sleeping... Bancho" answered Banchordas.
"Nahi!" I laughed aloud. "A body which is stationary or not moving from a particular reference frame!"
"Banchordas, tumhara chemistry hai, Bhuvan physics padh lega, mujhe tumhe lekar chinta hai? Mai points highlight kar di hun, read those, agar samaj na aye ask me!"
"Phir se highlighter nahi Bancho!"
"Isne apni book hari kar di thi!" Bhuvan explained to me.
"Kyu?" I asked laughing.
"Mere jaise aathvi fail k lia toh sab important laga, toh maine sara mark kar dia."
I sighed, turning towards Sameer, "What's your status?"
He was reading the notes. "Kitta acha hai dekho padh raha hai! Half an hour me ye sara important points ho jaenge shaayad? Main puchungi! Through discussions I think it will get over!"
One hour past...
All the pakkoras I have made for them were finished in no time.
"Hua? Puchu?"
"Haan..." Bhuvan replied.
I started from him and he gave near about all the answers correctly.
"Banchordas! What's your status!"
"Love matter hai?" he asked me instead. "Noh." I replied. "The things you can feel are matters, rest aren't!"
"Oh, kya chiraando jaise questions hai Bancho, ye sab bhi koi padta hai?"
I can't handle them, I can very well feel what Babli sir told me. Inhe padhana mere baas ki baath nhi hai, phir bhi I tried my best to make them understand. Sameer is the best. In every biology question, he brings the topic of sex! Those guys are full on entertainment. They can make you laugh, even can make you feel disgusting at the same time!!!
"Aayush paise maang raha tha tumse!" we were taking a break. Banchordas asked me, picking up some chips. I brought blue lays, buddy pack and some mountain dew cans! Because I knew Bhuvan likes that!
I nodded.
"Kis baath ka?" crunching those. He is rude always unlike Bhuvan.
"I don't know, he called me up, at 5 that morning! Bola ki tumhara kuch chiz mera pass hai" I was constantly turning towards Bhuvan to see his reaction. But he was busy having the stuff.
"Bola ki Bhuvan se paise maango, nahi toh pura pure school ko pata chal jaega!!!"
"Kya?" both Sameer and Banchordas asked.
I paused. I don't want to say it anymore.
I turned towards Bhuvan, he was thinking hard for some fancy answers. But I gave him no time to say.
"That I love him" I pressed my lips hard. I could feel Banchordas's eyes widened. I pretended to read my notes as I am too shy to say this.
"Sahi khel gaya Bancho" he freaked out in joy.
"Tum iss baath se daar rahi thi ki who launda tumhara sari pole khol dega ki tum isse pyaar kati ho!"
"Haan"
(Sameer's dialogue... I can't make my own without Bhuvan's help, better ask him to make one for this case.)
"Dimaag kharab toh nahi hai tumhara! Pata hai uska baath maankaar kya kaam karne jaa rahi thi tum! Uska baap ashlil tasviro ka gang ka aadmi hai!" Banchordas shouted at me.
"What... Do... you... mean!?" I was scared and confused.
"Online dating k bahane logo se nudes mangta hai yaar woh, woh toh acha hua uss din, Bhuvan bacha lia mereko nahito... mera Bancho toh..."
"What kind of freaking guy is this?"
"Bohot khatarnak aadmi hai! Iska kuch toh raaz hai! Pata karna padega!" said Bhuvan at last.

It's evening and they were returning to their respective homes. I was happy with the fact that I could tell Bhuvan everything I feel. But I didn't get his reply till now. I really want to know how he feel about me!
As I was returning to my home after bidding them goodbye, somebody held my waist from behind...
"Kal kuch achcha pahanke rahana... milte hai Kaunaught place me!"
Yes, I got my answer!
It's Sunday. Mommy was at home. She was making breakfast; her aloo ka parathas are the best. My mom can cook all the continental dishes. I only can cook thai, Italian and some Indian crusines, I like Gujrati and Bengali dishes, I can cook some of them.
Well I have agreed for the date with Bhuvan, but what should I tell mom! Will she allow me? I don't think so! Should I lie? To mom? Aargh... what should I do?
"Mom!" I came to kitchen!
"Hmm?" she asked.
"I have a party in Mc Donald's at Kaunaught place, my friends will come, so can I go?" I told the truth about that destination but mended in my way.
"Come home before 8" she only said that much! Oh, she gave me permission!
So, at 4, I wore a blue cold shoulder frock and puffed my hair in front and let it loose behind.
I reached Kaunaught place at 5 where he was already waiting. Quite a lot of people surrounded him for selfies and autographs. Omgs, is he so famous? I didn't know that at all. I let them to have their moment, afterall I am also one of them only.
He saw me! He is coming towards me! With a brown leather jacket and a black t shirt with 'Youthiyapa' written, said, "Chale?!"
"Where'd you get this funky thing?" I like these kinds of stuff a lot.
"Mera website hai, hum, Bancho aur Sameer chalate hai ise!"
"Wow? I want t-shirts like this too!"
"Toh Youthiyapa site me jaakr choose karo, mil jaega"
"Yeah" I nodded. "Will do?"
We roamed around aimlessly, but I am smelling something fishy around!
"Bhuvan, do you feel something!?"
"Haan... mere sath rahogi toh log tumhe thora ghurenge hi!" he laughed. He got me instantly what I was about to say.
"No Bhuvan! Its been that... we... are being... followed... again" I feel uncomfortable again.
"Tumhara vaham hai."
Well I thought it too, but no! then something caught my attention!
On footpaths posters were selling!
"Are these??" I cried. "Hollywood posters?"
"Haan yaha milta toh hai" it was common to Delhi people but not to me and I ran.
"One Direction is there!" I freaked out in joy!
"Tumhe chahia? Toh kar lo choose. Mai deta hun."
"No way, I am gonna buy these by myself." I puffed and pouted my face. I don't like boys paying for me. I chose a big poster of One Direction, a small of Demi Lovato and a Rihanna one. Riri was looking sexy in that! I wanted to take Selena Gomez one too but it was too common so I chose the Katy Perry instead. I brought four posters! Mom is goining to kill me.
"Oh, I love these!"
He also bought one, a big poster of Coldplay. Well, I don't have that diary with me though but another thing I collected is that he like Coldplay!
We headed towards the Paranthe gaali now! Same old feeling!
"Bhuvan!" I grabbed his hand, "Tumhe nahi lagta that we are being followed!"
"Islia, ki yaha mai aksaar ata jata rahata hun, toh log mujse milta hai yaha, daaro nahi"
"It's not that..." and he took me to a restaurant.
"Yaha mai aksaar ata hun, aapne tin dosto k saath." I ran my eyes everywhere. It's like out of every 5, 3 are staring at us.
The waiter served us some drinks and a menu card but something else which cleared my doubt.
"Mem sahab" he called, "Ye aapke lia koi de k gaya hai!" he gave a small, scrambled piece of paper. As I opened:
'BHUVAN KO BOLO PAISE DENE!'
I couldn't think for a few seconds what is going on, I knew somebody is following us but this!!!!
"Kya hua?" I heard him. I couldn't reply him because I lost my voice. He seized the paper from me.
"Bhuvan... I was telling you, somebody is following us!"
He got up from the chair, called the waiter.
"Kisne dia tumhe ye?"
"Ak Bhai sahib aye aur bole ai madam ayengi ak larke k sath blue frock me, de dena use."
"Tumne uska chahara dekha tha?"
"Haan sahib? Sir pe chaddi pahana hue the woh sahib!"
"Aayush!" I said at last.
He turned towards me, "Genny, daaro maath, woh launda kuch nahi bigaar sakta... blackmail karna uska kaam hai."
"But Bhuvan..."
"Mai ghar pahucha dunga tumhe! Tum ajj ghar se bahar maath nikalna bass"
He did what he had instructed! I reached home at 6.
"Party over, so soon!" Mommy asked me as soon I reached home. She was busy with her office works.
"I was getting bored so I came home!" I was feeling disgusted.
Is Bhuvan all right now? He must be driving scooter now. I shouldn't call him! I am worried about him, what if those goons get him in middle? What if they do something to him, oh Gen think positive!!!!!
