The Firangi Gurukul

Shaadi me zarur aana

Abhishek and Ethan were sitting at the dining table, waiting for breakfast that Bandana was cooking. "Bandana lunch se pehle breakfast milega?" Abhishek shouted, "aa geyi, aa geyi" Bandana said as she placed plates of parathas on the table. "I want two" Ethan said, she nodded and went to him to give him the plate. "Vaise..." She said in his ear, "I love you too" She whispered. His eyes were fixed on his plate, a smile appeared on his face. "E are you blushing?" Abhishek asked, Ethan looked up, "umm...no..." He shook his head and immediately looked down. 

Sameeksha woke up late. She had a warm shower and after that she stood in front of the mirror to apply make up on her face. She looked in the mirror and saw a man standing behind her. Her face went pale, she started breathing heavily, the cunning smirk on that man's face was giving her shivers. She turned, the man disappeared. She looked in the mirror, the man was not there anymore. She searched everywhere in the bathroom, but no one was there. 

"Mujhe dhoondh rhi ho?" She heard a voice and felt a cold breeze near her ear. She turned right and found him standing in front of her, "tumhare pass hi hu, kahi nhi jaa raha" He said. Tears started flowing due to fear, "ro kyu rhi ho? Uss raat to boht khush thi?" He smirked. She shook her head slowly, taking steps backwards. She was about to run when he held her wrist and stopped her. He hugged her from the back, "door kyu bhaag rhi ho?" He whispered in her ear. "Uss firangi ki shakal thi to boht khush thi tum?" He asked, "usme rooh to meri hi thi na" He rubbed his nose against her cheek. 

"Rona band karo" He asked breaking the hug. "Darr kyu rhi ho?" He asked standing in front of her, placing his hands on her waist. She looked him in the eyes. The eye lock distracted him, she pushed him and ran out of the bathroom. Luckily, she bumped into Grayson. "Hey! Hey!! What happened?" He asked. "Gray...there...in the bathroom..." She said pointing at the bathroom. "Shh...stop crying" He wiped her tears. "There was someone in the bathroom" She sobbed. 

"I'll check" Grayson said and started walking toward the bathroom. Sameeksha held his wrist tightly and followed him. He opened the door slowly and looked here and there. "There's no one here" He said still looking, she kept quiet. "Come" He said as he walked in the bathroom. Sameeksha had a good look around, the man was not there anymore. "Do you wanna finish your make up?" He asked, she shook her head. "I think you should. Your lipstick is smudged" He said. 

"I don't want to look in the mirror" Sameeksha said, "I'll clean it up" Grayson said and grabbed a tissue from a cupboard. "Look here" He said as he put his finger under her chin and lifted it up. Slowly, he cleaned the smudged lipstick near the bottom right of her lips. She was looking at him closely, his eyes moved from her lips to her eyes. She immediately looked down after the short eye lock. "Done" He said, "thank you" She replied.

It was 9pm and everyone was ready for dinner when Professor Rudra and Swarali came home. "Sir kya baat hai, itni raat ko kese aana hua?" Bandana asked as they took a seat. "Tum dono ki shaadi aaj hi karani hogi" He said, "aaj?" Bandana looked at Ethan. "Itni jaldi shaadi kese hogi?" Abhishek asked. "Samajhne ki koshish karo Abhishek, agar aaj shaadi na hui to woh aatmaae in dono bhaio ko maar dalengi" Swarali said pointing at the twins. 

"Lekin Sir aaj shaadi kese...hamari families bhi nhi hai yaha pe" Bandana said unsure, "yeh aaj raat marr jaega fir tum family ko bulake iski dead body se shaadi kar lena" Professor said. Bandana looked down and kept quiet. "It's alright Professor, we'll get married tonight" Ethan said wrapping his arm around Bandana's shoulder. 

"And what about Sameeksha and me?" Grayson asked, "dekho aisa hai ke tum dono ka mujhe nhi pata. Ek shaadi to ho hi rahi hai, lage haath tum dono bhi karwa lo. Sab theek ho gaya to badhiya, nhi to acchi Jodi hi ban jaegi" He said. "Yeh pagal hai kya?" Abhishek said looking at Bandana, "esa kahoge to koi solution nhi bataunga" Professor said. "Abhay tu chup reh na, kyu khujli mach rahi hai tujhe? Sameeksha ke saath tera jo bhi rishta tha woh toot chuka hai. Usko apni life me aage badhne de ab" Bandana said irritated. Abhishek looked at her, "jo karna hai karo" He gritted her teeth.

"Tum dono ko koi problem hai?" Bandana asked Grayson and Sameeksha. "I wanna talk to you in private" Grayson said to Sameeksha, "itna time nhi hai hamare pass" Professor said, "10 bajne wale hai, mandir jaate jaate 11 kya time ho jaega. 12 bje se pehle shaadi ho jaani chahiye" He explained. "Yeh konsa mandir hai jaha pohonchne me ek ghanta lag jaega?" Abhishek asked, "Shiv Parvati ka pahaadi wala mandir" Swarali said.
