Sumedh's POV
*The next day...*

I was having my breakfast when I got a call from Aai.

Sumedh:- Namaste Aai, kesi h?

Aai:- Thik hu tu kesa h?

Sumedh:- Me bhi thik hu

Aai:- Accha tu jaldi se Pune aa ja

Sumedh:- Kyu? Kya hua? Sab thik h na?

Aai:- Haan sab thik h. Mene tere lie kucch larkia dekhi h. Tu aake psand krle.

Sumedh:- Kya Aai? Tu firse shuru ho gey?

Aai:- Dekh mene tujhse pehle bhi kaha tha, shaadi to tujhe karni hi h. Larkia boht acchi h, tu bas aaja aur aake dekh le. Tujhe meri kasam h!

Sumedh:- Aai yeh kya baat hui? Har baat pe kasam? Dekh aaj Friday h to me kal hi aa paunga

Aai:- Thik h...

---------------------

"Yaar Aai ne naya panga khara kar diya h" I said to Siddharth. "Tu chala ja na. Shayad waha sachne koi acchi larki mil jae" Siddharth said. "Yaar baat larki ki nhi h...mera yaha Mumbai me man laga hua h!" I said dissapointingly. "But I think kaaran kucch aur h" Siddharth said. "Actually 'koi' aur..." He continued. "Dekh rai ka pahar mat bna! Mere aur Bandana me esa kucch nhi h!" I said looking down. "Mene Bandana ka naam kab liya?" He asked. "Sumu just admit it na! Atleast mere saamne!" He said.

"I don't know!! Maybe!! Shayad h kucch uske lie. But what if...what if use mere lie kucch feel na ho raha ho?" I asked. "Yeh tujhe thori pta h! You can ask her...ya fir Aai ko btade" He said. "Ok...I will think about it" I said and went to my room.

We left for Gurukul. While driving I was thinking about Bandana. Maybe I was actually in love with her, but I wasn't sure. I mean, is she the right girl? She is nice but still, will she accept me? Did we both deserve each other?

I was stuck with all those questions. And now I had to leave for Pune as well!!

Bandana's POV
We were in Architectural Designing lesson. I was sharpening my pencil when I got a cut because of that. I asked a tissue to Devaki. "Tere jesi dumb hi sharpener se ungli kaat sakti h" She whispered.

"Bandana!! Baat krne ka itna hi man h to class me aane ki kya zarurat h? Bahar hi raho na!" Sumedh Sir said. "Sir I was just asking..." I said but he interruped me in between. "Get out!" He said. "But Sir..." I said.

"SHUT UP AND GET OUT OF MY CLASS!" He yelled on the top of his voice. I controlled my tears somehow and went out of the class. I didn't have a lesson after that so I went to the parking lot and sat in the car.

I was really sad. I was just lost in my thoughts. It was the first time a teacher sent me out of the class, and not just that but it was the first time Sumedh Sir yelled at me too!

I never imagined that he can ever yell at me, but he did.

I heard a noise so I looked out of the window. It was Siddharth Sir.

"Kya hua?" He asked in a sweet voice. "Jaake Sumedh Sir se poochiye" I said. "Are lekin...tum to btao itni sad kyu ho?" He asked. "Sir mujhe aapse koi baat nhi krni" I said. "Kyu?" He asked. "Kyunk aap Sumedh Sir k dost ho" I said. He chuckled. He was about to say something else when Devaki came.

We left for home.

Sumedh's POV
I was feeling guilty for what I did. "Mujhe esa nhi krna chahiye tha. Isme us bechari ki kya galti thi!?  Uski ungli cut gey mene woh bhi nhi dekha! I'm so stupid..." I thought.

We were home. I called Bandana atleast ten times but she wasn't picking up the phone.

"Yaar woh phone nhi utha rahi!" I said to Siddharth. "Abhi abhi naraz h...subah tak thik ho jaegi" He replied.

It was night. Before bed I called her five more times, still no reply.

Bandana's POV
When I reached home, I went straight to my bedroom. I locked the door and sat on the bed.
"Aur nhi hoga mujhse! Boht strong ho liya, aur himmat nhi h mujhme!" I thought.

I brokedown! It was from months that I was sad, angry, depressed, worried...but I didn't cry. I always thought it makes people weaker. But now I couldn't control. I was looking at the ceiling and crying.

Finally I stopped and had shower.

I didn't have dinner.
When I checked my phone, I saw 15 missed calls. It was on silent mode. It was midnight, so there was no point of calling back Sumedh Sir.

--------------------

The next morning, when I woke up it was 9 o'clock. I got fresh and went in the dining hall. Devaki was having breakfast.

"Yaar woh kal Sumedh Sir ne kaafi baar call kiya, ab unse baat bhi krni h" I said. "Woh to chale gey" She said. "Kaha?" I asked shockingly. "Siddharth Sir ne btaya woh Pune chale gey" She said. "Unki mummy ne unke lie kucch larkia dekhi thi, rishte k lie..." She explained.

Don't know why and how but my mood changed suddenly. I was hell angry. "Mujhe nhi karna breakfast!" I said and stood up. "Are! Ese kese? Tujhe pta h na apne lie proper meals kitne zaruri h?" She asked. "Ek baar kaha na nhi karna!!!" I yelled on the top of my voice. I went from there and got ready for gym.

Devaki's POV
God knows what happened to Bandana. We got ready for gym and were leaving when I noticed that Bandana wasn't walking properly. She was looking weird. I was thinking to ask her when she suddenly collapsed. I immediately called Taran. We took her to the bedroom and made her lay on the bed. Taran called the doctor.

The doctor gave her an injection. "Kucch khaya piya inhone?" He asked. "Nhi kal raat dinner nhi kiya aur subah breakfast bhi nhi kiya tha" I informed.

Bandana was gaining consciousness. "Mumma...Mumma kaha...Sir...Pune...Sumedh Sir...Mumma..." She was repeating.

"Inki mummy kaha h?" The doctor asked. "Woh London me h" I said. "Woh actually Bandana ki apni family se choti si ladai jo gey thi. Iska dream tha k iski mummy iska ghar zarur dekhe. Jabse hamne yeh bungalow liya h tabse yeh ese hi dukhi thi...apni mummy ko miss kar rhi thi" I explained.

"Ok...we need her as soon as possible...aur Sumedh kon h?" He asked. "Ji woh..." I stopped as I didn't know what to say. "Whoever he is, use bhi jaldi bulaiye. Dekhie woh dono hi h jo iski tabiyaat me sudhar la sakte h" He explained. We nodded.

Taran called his mother while I called Sumedh Sir.
