Gurukul was founded in the 19th century, when India was planning to fight against the east India Company. It was build in the forests of Port Blair, in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Initially, it was a school for children of British officers that ser...
Ishan and Ethan's talk to Bandana made her realise about how wrong she was about Manjot. It was a big change for her, and it wasn't easy to get over it.
Bandana was watching tv when Sameeksha came, "tune apna mail box check kia?" She asked, Bandana shook her head and checked her emails.
She closed her eyes and looked up, "kya hai yaar" She said frustrated. "Kya hua?" Ishan asked. "Hame kal hi wapas jaana padega" She said not looking at him. "Kal? Kyu?? Tum log to ek hafta aur rukne wale the na?" He asked.
"Khalsa College se ek student aane wali thi, usko apni research karne ke lie meri help chahiye. Ab woh aaj aa rhi hai, to hame kal jaana padega" She explained.
Ishan looked at her and called everyone in his the veranda so that they could spend some time together before leaving.
"Tickets book ho geyi?" Abhishek asked, Bandana hummed. Ishan chuckled all of a sudden, "yaad hai, ham bachpan me kese bhooto ki kahaania sunaate the?" He asked, "Bandana hamesha darr jaati thi aur fir mere pass soti thi" He said. Bandana smiled.
She started thinking about the possible spirits she saw around Gurukul. Maybe, there was a solution.
"Abhay" She said, "yaad hai Papa ne kya kaha tha? Woh vardaan ke bareme?" She asked, he rolled his eyes. "Kucch bhi tha woh" He said. "Nhi, sacch tha" She said.
"Abhay...tu...hamare saath Gurukul chalega?" She asked, "Gurukul? Mera waha kya kaam?" He asked, "Abhay sab kehte hai woh vardaan tujhe mila hai" She said. "Haan to kehte hi hai na? Prove to nhi hua?" He asked.
"Tu saath chalega to prove bhi ho jaega" She said, "kese?" He asked, "Abhay waha bhoot hai" She said. Abhishek started laughing, "Veere aapki choti to badi ho geyi. Pehle kahania sunke darr ti, ab mujhe darane ki koshish kar rhi hai" He said.
"She's right" Ethan spoke grabbing their attention. "Tumne bhi kucch dekha?" Bandana asked, he nodded. "Dekha! Abhay please saath aaja" She said.
"Yeh vardaan hai kya? Tune pehle to kabhi bataya nhi" Sameeksha said. "Yeh vardaan hamari family ko mila hai. Iske hisaab se hamari har generation me ek family member ko vardaan hota hai ke woh bhooto ko dekh bhi sakta hai aur unko khatam bhi kar sakta hai" She explained.
"Bachpan me yeh kehta tha isko koi dikhta hai ghar me, lekin ham iska vishwaas nhi karte the. Fir mujhe bhi dikhne lage" She said. "Vardaan to sirf ek ko milna tha na?" Sameeksha asked, "vahi to samajh nhi aa raha. Lekin me un bhooto ko khatam nhi kar paai, matlab ab yeh sirf Abhay kar sakta hai" She said looking at Abhishek. He sighed and looked at Ishan.
"Theek hai, aa jaunga tum logo ke saath" He said. "Thank youuuu!" Bandana kissed his cheeck. He smiled and went to pack his luggage.

Everybody left for the airport early in the morning. They were now in the plane, looking for their seats. Sameeksha was reading her ticket, "tumhari seat mere bagal me hai" Abhishek whispered in her ear.
She looked back and found him standing close to her, with the tip of his nose about an inch apart from hers.
"Arey chaliye na bhaisahb" A man pushed Abhishek. He lost his balance slightly and held Sameeksha's shoulders in order to prevent himself from fall.
"Chalo" He said tapping on her shoulders. They found their seats and sat down. On the other hand, Bandana realised that her seat was next to Manjot.
"Mujhe tumhare saath nhi bethna" She said, he cocked her eyebrow, "kyu?" He asked, "meri marzi" She said. "Mere pass Ethan bethega" She said. "To me kaha bethu?" He asked, "mere sar pe" She gritted her teeth and went to sit next to Ethan. He rolled his eyes and sat next to Grayson.
The plane took off, and as they were getting close to their destination, a strange feeling was scaring Abhishek. He looked back and found Bandana sleeping, he was glad that his sister was with him.
After landing, he stayed with her all the time. "Mere saath saath reh" He said when they reached the accommodation. "Tu darr raha hai?" She asked, he didn't reply, "bhai apna darr door karne ke lie hi to tujhe yaha laai hu" She said.
Sameeksha opened the door and everyone started walking in, Abhishek entered the house and immediately stopped. "Kya hua?" Bandana asked.
"Boht negative vibes aa rhi hai" He said looking here and there. "Woh to aati rehti hai, tu andar aaja" She said. He hummed and went in.

The next morning, Ethan woke up and found Bandana sleeping next to him. He rubbed his eyes and opened them just to find her there again. He looked here and there, Grayson was still sleeping. Abhishek and Sameeksha were not there. Manjot was sleeping on the mattress next to the fan on the right, on Bandana's mattress. Bandana and Manjot probably swapped places at night.
Bandana moved a little, disturbed by the sun rays hitting her eyes. Ethan took his hand above her face to provide some protection against sun rays.
Ethan carried on looking and smiling at Bandana. Once again, she moved a bit and then opened her eyes. She looked at his hand and then smiled looking at him.
Suddenly, Ethan's hand was smashed on Bandana's face. She kept still. Ethan couldn't understand what happened until he saw Grayson running away. "Grayson you bitch!" He shouted and started chasing him.
Bandana placed her hand on her nose, it was bleeding. She shook her head and went downstairs to get a tissue. She was standing in front of a mirror, trying to stop the bleeding when Ethan came.
"Show me" He said, "me kar lungi" She said, "show me I said" He made her turn. "Kaha na kar lungi" She said. He gritted his teeth, she looked down and gave him the tissue.
He cleaned her nose a bit. "Look up" He said placing his finger under chin and making her look at the ceiling. "Dukh raha hai" She said when he touched her nose.
"Sorry...shall I take you to the doctor?" He asked, "bleeding kam ho geyi hai, apne aap theek ho jaega" She said, he hummed.
