Gurukul - The Past Or The Present?

Kerala

Disha's POV
All the students were working on the Astronomy project.

I was sitting next to Shubman as I didn't know any other student in the Astronomy class.

We were using Microsoft Word. Sometimes Word just complicates things so much. I was trying to turn one page into landscape and leave the other ones in portrait.

"Shubman" I called his name, he hummed, "help chahiye" I said. "Haan bolo na" He said. "Sirf yeh page landscape me karna hai aur baaki sab portrait me rehne dene hai, mujhse ho nhi raha" I said.

"Ek second" He said and stood up from his seat.

He was now standing right behind me, he looked at the screen carefully.

He then bent down a bit and placed his hand on mine, which was holding the mouse. I was looking at our hands while he was trying to help me.

He then asked me something which I didn't really hear, "Disha?" He said my name, "hmm? Haan??" I said looking at him. "Is this what you wanted?" He asked looking at me.

Our faces were inches apart, I was looking in his eyes, or should I say I was lost in his eyes!?

Suddenly, someone gave him a slight push, he lost his balance but managed not to fall on me. Our foreheads touched, "sorry" He said in a slow voice and stood up properly.

"I think yeh ho gaya, check karlo ek baar" He said trying to make the situation less awkward.

I nodded and looked at the computer screen, "haan, ese hi chahiye tha, thank you" I said. He smiled and sat on his seat.

I was using the mouse when I looked at my hand, the one Shubman touched. I unknowingly smiled and shook my head.

The bell rang and we started leaving the class.

"By the way" Shubman said grabbing my attention, "hamari cricket team Kerala jaa rhi hai ek week ke lie, baaki colleges ke saath matches honge waha. School se kucch aur students bhi jaenge jo physio assistants banenge, why don't you sign up?" He asked.

"Me? Kerala?? Woh bhi physio??" I asked. He smiled and nodded. "Bandana hogi waha pe, to uske lie female physio chahiye hi hoga. Tum saath me rahogi to help ho jaegi" He said.

"Yeh to hai" I said thinking about it, "kaha sign up karna padega?" I asked, "Rahul Sir ko poochna hoga. Shaam ko match me aa jaana, tab pooch lena Sir se" He said, I nodded.

Bandana's POV
The practice match was over.

We were now signing a form for our Kerala trip. "Kiska sign baaki hai?" Rahul Sir asked, "Manjot ka" Abhay Banna replied.

"Bandana, jaao uska signature leke aao, waha khada hai" Sir said pointing at Manjot, who was standing in the pavillion, drinking something.

I went to him and stood there waiting for him to finish his drink. He was standing shirtless.

He finished the drink, "mere abs ko taarhna band karogi?" He asked, "meri naraz tumhare gobar jese face se ek inch bhi neeche nhi hui" I replied calmly.

He smiled and shook his head, "kya chahiye?" He asked, "signature" I replied, "I think you meant autograph" He said. "Umm, no. I meant signature. Yeh Kerala trip ka form hai, aur ispe sirf tumhara signature baaki hai" I said.

"Whatever" He said and signed the form.

Sameeksha's POV
Disha and I were standing in front of Rahul Sir, all the players were there. Sir wanted to talk about the Kerala trip.

"So as you know, Kerala trip pe physiotherapists chahiye honge hame. Work experience ke lie Gurukul se me tum dono ko leke jana chahta hu" Sir said to me and Disha. "Bandana ko comfortable lagega, varna sab ladko me akeli ladki ko rehna thoda mushkil lag sakta hai" He said.

We nodded.

I saw Abhishek, who was behind Sir, dancing like an idiot. I made a face. I don't know that guy anymore. I really don't.

"Abhishek tumhe circus me work experience chahiye?" Sir asked. Abhishek immediately stopped. "Sorry Sir" He said.

"Bandana ek form laegi, usko please sign kar dena" Sir said, "hopefully it'll be a great experience for us" He said with a smile and then left.
