Mohabbatein

Rishta ya gaali?

Manjot's POV
We had a break during the practice session. I went to drink some water and decided to look for any messages that I received on my phone.

I got a missed call from Sameeksha.

Woah.

"Phone kia tha?" I asked when I called her back. "Dude, phone rakhte hi kyu ho jab uthana nhi hota?" She asked. "Tumhara saiyaan hi ball pe ball daal raha tha. Uski bowling khatam hoti tabhi to break milti aur me phone dekhta!" I said.

"Whatever" She said, "Kucch kaam tha?" I asked. "Haan saiyaan ki b...I...I meant Abhishek ki baat karni thi" She said. I chuckled.

"Sun raha hu" I said. "Uski...koi...koi girlfriend hai?" She asked. I started laughing, "Tumhe kya ho gaya hai? Abhishek ki girlfriend? Tum pooch rhi ho??" I asked.

Was she interested in him!?

"Tumne hi kaha tha help karoge" She said, "okay okay, girlfriend nhi hai uski koi. Like boht saari thi, par abhi koi nhi hai" I said. She hummed. "Tum mujhse milna, kucch baat karni hai" I said.

"Okay, kab milu?" She asked. "Shaam ko ghar aata hu" I said. "Cool" She said and disconnected the call.

"Oye saiyaan!!" I called Abhishek. I slapped my forehead, he came to me.

"Mujhe shuru se hi shakk tha, tu gay hai, door reh mujhse" He said. "Chal be" I said, "saale shaam ko Sameeksha ke yaha jaana hai, yehi batana tha" I said.

"Saala kisko bola be?" He asked. "Tujhe" I said, "rishte de bula raha ya gaali de raha?" He asked. I chuckled. "Filhaal to gaali" I said.

"Tu ruk" He said but I started running. "Ruk saale, ruk!" He shouted throwing a ball towards me. "Saala to tu banega, woh bhi mera!" I said sprinting here and there.

Bandana's POV
"Papa bula rahe" Sameeksha said to me. I nodded and went to Papa's room.

He was reading a newspaper. "Papa? Bulaya tha apne?" I asked.

He looked at me and nodded. "Betho" He said. I sat on the chair next to him.

"Newspaper parha?" He asked. I lowered my lashes as I understood what he meant by that.

I nodded. "Dekho beta, tum samajhdaar ho, apna accha bura jaanti ho. Zada nhi bolunga, bas itna poochunga ke woh serious hai?" He asked, "tum serious ho iss bareme itna me jaanta hu, uska batao" He said.

"Ji papa, ham...ham dono s-serious hai iss rishte ko lekar" I said nervously.

"Uske parents se baat kare?" He asked. I looked at him. Was he actually happy with him!?

"Papa aapko theek laga woh?" I asked. "Ab tumhe pasand aaya hai to koi khaas baat hogi usme. Vese hame theek laga, kucch bura dikha nhi usme" He said.

"Papa mere khayal se uske parents se baat karna boht jaldi hoga. Hame thoda wait karna chahiye" I said, "abhi to tumne kaha tum dono serious ho, to wait kis baat ka?" He asked.

"Yeh sab abhi shuru hua hai, to me chahti thi ham dono thoda time saathme spend karke dekhle" I said.

"Dekho Bandana, ya to rishta hai ya nhi hai. Agar hai to wait karne ka koi matlab nhi, agar nhi hai to time spend karne se kucch nhi hoga" He said.

"Ham tumhari baat ka maan rakhte hai lekin zada der takk ham chup bhi nhi reh sakte. Tum apni taraf se tasalli karlo, fir ham apni taraf se sab kar lenge" He said.

I nodded and stood up to leave.

"Vese ladka accha laga, usse kehna mujhse bhi baat kare kabhi" He said. I smiled and nodded.

Sameeksha's POV
Manjot, Bandana and I were sitting in my bedroom.

Manjot and Bandana looked at me. "Kya?" I asked. "Tumne bulaya, tum batao" Manjot said.

"Actually..." I said and looked at Bandana for help, she cocked her eyebrows, "woh...Abhishek hai na" I said, "haan hai, aage?" Manjot said, "shut up and let me finish" I said, he let out a chuckle and nodded.

"Okay. Itna to tum dono ko bhi pata tha ke I wanted to give him a chance, right?" I asked. They nodded.

"So I kinda like him" I said in a low voice, "kinda?" Manjot asked. "Yeh kinda kya hota hai?" Bandana asked, "kind of" Manjot said, "I know that" Bandana said gritting her teeth.

"Kinda kya hota hai? Ya like karti hai ya nhi karti" Bandana said to me. "Karti hu, bas thoda sa, like ittu sa" I said.

"Like pehle uska mere aas paas bhatakna accha nhi lagta tha, ab lagta hai bas hamesha mere paas rahe" I said, "pehle jab woh chedta tha to peetne ka mann karta tha, ab sharmaa jaati hu" I said with a smile, "uski harkate boht acchi lagti hai" I said lowering my lashes.

"Basically...tujhe pyaar ho gaya hai usse" Bandana said.
