Gurukul - The Past Or The Present?

Silly point

Bandana's POV
We were about to start a practice match when Rahul Sir asked me to be the captain. He wanted to assess my leadership skills.

Manjot was not very pleased.

He was the vice captain.

Sir divided us in two teams and my team was fielding first.

Manjot set the field.

Prithvi was batting and our bowlers were conceding too many runs.

I called Manjot.

"Kya hai?" He asked, "jo field tumne set ki hai woh galat hai" I said. He chuckled, "of course! Mene set ki hai to galat hi hogi" He said, I rolled my eyes.

"Yaar dikhta nhi kya tumhe? Prithvi covers me maar raha hai, aur wahi tumne koi fielder nhi lagaya" I said, "me Prithvi ke saath bachpan se khel raha hu" He said, "mujhe pata hai woh kaha marega".

"Extra cover me fielder lagao" I said, he ignored me, "Nagar!!" I shouted, Nagarkoti looked at me, I signed him to go at extra cover. He followed my order.

I looked back at Manjot, he was looking quite angry, "and you, silly point pe jaao" I said.

"What the f..." He said but I spoke in between, "shut up!! Jao silly point pe!" I shouted.

He walked angrily and went towards the pitch. Abhay Banna gave him a helmet, but Manjot sent it back.

"Are you sure about this?" Abhay Banna asked. I hummed, "helmet lene se mana kar dia?" I asked, he nodded. "Boht gusse me hai woh, mann maani karega ab" He said.

"Karne do" I said, "Bandana..." He said, "Abhay Banna" I said looking at him. He nodded and went to bowl.

I was a bit worried about Manjot. Fielding at silly point, in a 20 overs match, that too without helmet...

Abhay Banna bowled a ball and Prithvi tried to hit a square drive. Manjot, who was at silly point, tried to stop the ball but he was very close to the pitch and the ball hit him on left side of his forehead.

"Shoot" I said in a low voice. Everyone ran towards him, I followed them.

Manjot's forehead was bleeding, I was feeling bad. I shouldn't have asked him to field there.

Rahul Sir came. "Tum silly point pe kya kar rahe the?" He asked, Manjot looked at me, "captain ne kaha tha" He said.

"Bandana kya hai yeh sab?" Sir asked, "I'm sorry Sir" I said in a low voice.

"Medical room me leke jaao Manjot ko" Sir ordered, "yes Sir" Abhay Banna said and gave Manjot a hand in order to help him to stand up.

"Tum nhi" Sir said, "tum jaogi" He said poiting at me. "Sir..." I said, "jao! Aur iska dhyaan rakhna, kucch bhi galat hua na to team me wapas mat aana" He said. I lowered my head a nodded.

Disha's POV
Abhishek, Sameeksha, Shubman and I were sitting in the canteen, having lunch.

"Zada to nhi lagi?" I asked Abhishek, we were talking about the incident that happened during their practice match.

"Pata nhi yaar, Bandana leke to geyi hai usko Medical room me" Abhishek said. "Bandana bhi pagal hai, ese nhi karna chahiye tha usse" I said, Sameeksha passed me a death glare.

I kept quiet.

"Manjot ki galati hai, usko kya zarurat thi galat field set karne ki?" She asked. "Chodo na, khana khaao" Abhishek said.

"Vese Abhay, tu to subhah jaldi uthne wala tha, late kese hua?" Shubman asked him. "Mene uss bhench..." Abhay said but stopped when Shubman coughed and signed towards me and Sameeksha.

I smiled.

"Mene uss kamine Mandy ko kaha tha subhah utha dio, par nhi, bhool gaya aur me late ho gaya" Abhishek said.

Sameeksha started laughing, "Veerji kitne pyaare ho yaar, itne caring" She said to Shubman, he just smiled and blushed a bit.

"Awwww, Disha, Veerji ke cheeks pull karo" Sameeksha said, I looked at her.

Seriously!?

"Disha, Sameeksha ne kucch kaha hai" Abhishek said with a smirk.

I blushed even more.

"Disha, Abhishek ne kucch kaha hai" Shubman said. I widened my eyes and looked at him. They all started laughing.

"Mere lesson ka time ho raha hai" I said, "haan mera bhi" Shubman said, "chalo waha jaake mere cheeks pull karna" He said standing up. I smiled and shook my head.
