Bandana was making a mind map for a new case, she took a sip of tea from her mug when her phone rang.

"Hello? Mrs Kalra?" The caller asked, she spit the tea out, Manjot looked at her. "Kya ho gaya?" He asked rubbing her back. She looked at him.

"Excuse me?" She said to the caller, "Mrs Kalra me aapke bete ke school se bol rhi hu" The caller said.

"Ma'am...aapko koi confusion hua hai" Bandana said, "aap Kabir ki mother nhi hai?" The teacher asked, "ji me Kabir ki mother hi hu" Bandana replied.

"Right. Mrs Kalra, Kabir ka ek student se jhagda ho gaya. Meri request hai ke aap aake mujhse aur dusre bacche ke parents se aake mil lijiye" The teacher said.

Bandana rolled her eyes, "I'm really sorry, me abhi aati hu" She said and hung up.

"Kya hua?" Manjot asked, "Kabir ke school se phone tha. Kisi se jhagda kar lia usne, jaana padega" She replied.

"Ghar pe koi nhi hai, tum bhi mere saath hi chalo" She said, he nodded and they left.

*******

"Mumma!" Kabir ran to Bandana when she reached Principal's office.

She gave him a death glare, he stopped and then hid behind Manjot.

"Mrs Kalra, please have a seat" the Principal said. Bandana bit her lower lip and looked down.

She felt Manjot looking at her.

Kabir pulled Manjot's shirt. When Manjot looked at him, Kabir signed him to cooperate.

Manjot was confused but he still nodded.

"Jese ke mene aapko bataya, Kabir ne ek bacche se ladai ki. Yeh uss bacche ke parents hai" the Principal said pointing at a couple sitting on her right.

"Dekhiye, we are really really sorry. Kabir ese hi kisi se nhi ladta, zarur kucch khaas vajah hogi" Bandana said to the couple.

"Arey koi baat nhi, chalta hai" Mrs Paul said smiling and looking at Manjot. "Ese kese chalta hai? Dekhiye kese maara hai hamare bete ko" Mr Paul said.

"Manjot, me na aapki boht badi fan hu" Mrs Paul said excitingly. Manjot managed to smile, "thank you" He said.

"Ek photo please" She said, Manjot looked at Bandana, she gritted her teeth.

"Hanji...s...sure" He replied, "arey kya sure? Ham yeh sab karne aae hai yaha?" Bandana asked him.

Kabir chuckled. "Tum kya hass rahe ho? Kyu ki ladai?" Bandana asked him.

"Mumma yeh mujhse baar baar pooch raha tha ke mere papa kon hai. Mujhe baar baar najay..." Kabir tried to say, "theek hai" Manjot stopped him.

"To iss lie tumne usko maara?" He asked, Kabir nodded, "accha kia" He replied, Kabir smiled.

"Manjot?" Bandana said in disbelief.

"Accha kia???" Mr Paul asked, "Sir, Kabir ki taraf se me maafi maangti hu" Bandana tried to end the conversation.

"Tum kyu maafi maangogi?" Manjot asked, "Kabir ne kucch galat nhi kia. Yeh log maafi maange" He said. Bandana rolled her eyes.

"Himmat to dekho in logo ki" Mr Paul said, "cricketer na ho gaya, don ho gaya" He said.

"Excuse me?" Manjot said, "aur nhi to kya?" Mr Paul said.

"Ma'am, apne pati ko samjhaiye, mujhe gussa aa gaya to..." Manjot said, "to kya?" Mr Paul asked.

"To jese field me bowlers ka confidence tod ta hu vese hi aapka muh tod dunga" Manjot said.

Mrs Paul was busy admiring Manjot's hotness, Bandana was losing her cool.

"Tumhari itni himmat?" Mr Paul said standing up, "kya kar loge?" Manjot asked standing up.

"Lawyer hu, case kar dunga!" Mr Paul replied. "Tum jese do kaudi ke lawyers se darrta nhi hu me. Kar do case!" Manjot challenged.

Bandana stood up, "Sir, Ma'am, I'm really sorry. Aage se esa kucch nhi hoga" She apologised.

"Manjot chalo" She said, "ese kese abhi chalo" Manjot asked.

"Manjot" Bandana gritted her teeth, he was not listening to her.

She held his hand and took him out of the office.

"Dimaag theek hai tumhara?" She asked, "tumne dekha nhi kese badtameezi kar raha tha woh?" He asked her.

"Me uski fikar kyu karu? Woh sachme case kar deta to?" She asked.

Suddenly, two teachers came from nowhere and asked for a selfie.

Manjot clicked some selfies with them.

Within a minute, more teachers and senior students gathered around Manjot, asking him for selfies and autographs.

Bandana and Kabir were looking at this from a distance.

A senior female student kissed Manjot on his right cheek.

Bandana widened her eyes, Manjot looked Bandana.

She walked to him and took him away from the crowd.

They sat in the car and left.

"Yaar ab itna bhadki kyu ho?" He asked, she kept quiet, "bata bhi do" He insisted.

"Pehle to yeh waha ladke aaya" She said referring to Kabir, who was sitting at the back. "Maafi maangne gey to tum ladd pade" She added. "Fir tumhare fans ki chumman chaati shuru ho geyi" She finished.

"Bandana, language, baccha betha hai" Manjot said. Bandana shook her head.

"Aur tum Kabir, tumhe papa ke bareme poocha to Manjot ka naam le lia?" She asked.

"Mumma woh ladka baar baar tang kar raha tha, to mere dimaag me jo aaya mene bol dia" He said. Manjot chuckled. Bandana glared at him.
