Everyone was sleeping, it was ten minutes past midnight. Ethan was playing a game on his phone and suddenly he felt a cold breeze near his ear, just like it was a couple of days ago. He immediately looked at his left and did not find anything, he hid under the blanket and took a couple of deep breaths. 

He felt safe and carried on with his game. After a few moments he heard a whisper, "hame yaha kaid kyu kar rakha hai?".

"Holy shit!!!" Ethan said removing the blanket and sitting on the bed. He looked at Grayson, who was sleeping with Edwin laying on his stomach. "Gray" Ethan said shaking him, "Gray wake up" He said, Grayson slowly opened his eyes, "what's wrong with you??" He said looking at Ethan, "there's someone here" Ethan said, "Ethan stop. It's midnight dude, let me sleep. I don't have time for your fucking pranks!" Grayson said placing his hand on his eyes.

"Gray I'm serious. I heard a whisper" Ethan said still scared, "can I please sleep on your side?" He asked, Grayson sighed and they swapped positions. Ethan hid under the blanket and closed his eyes immediately.

"Ab na jeetne wale" Bandana commented as she saw India was nowhere close to the target that Australia set for them, "geyi series haath se" Manjot said. At this point, they were sure about India losing the five ODI series with Australia.

"Yeh Pant ko laane ki kya zarurat thi? World Cup ke baad chance nhi de sakte the? World Cup pass aa raha to naye players ko chance de rahe, matlab yaar Dhoni ko laao na!!" Bandana said. She saw Ethan coming downstairs. He sat on a couch, "you guys watch cricket?" He asked with a smile, "yeah, we are big fans" Manjot said.

Bandana was losing her cool with every ball that Aussies were bowling and India was missing. 

"Maar yaar!! Abey waha kya maar raha hai?" She shouted at the screen, "you are into the game" Ethan said, Bandana passed him a death glare. Manjot signalled Ethan not to say anything. "Naak kat geyi yaar" She said to Manjot, he chuckled and gave her a side hug, Ethan looked at Manjot's hand and then looked away.

Sameeksha went to Grayson's room, she smiled seeing him playing with Edwin. "Hey" He said, "hey, I bought some clothes for Edwin" She said giving him the bag. " Oh thank you!!" He smiled. "Will you help me? Edwin needs a shower...and..." he said awkwardly. She smiled, "sure" she said.

"He's too small, shall we just wash him in the sink?" She asked, he hummed, "that's better I think" he said. He undressed Edwin and then they took him to the bathroom. 

"He might feel chilly, shall I close the door?" He asked, she slightly nodded even if she was feeling a little awkward to be in the bathroom with Grayson. He rolled his sleeves up and filled the sink with warm water. 

"Okay" Grayson was ready, "wait...how do you...bath a baby?" He asked, "how would I know?" She asked unsure, "let me google it" He said. 

"It says slowly ease the baby into the water and make sure the baby is relaxed and comfortable" he read, Sameeksha nodded and made Edwin sit in the sink, he immediately started moving his hands in the water, splashing it everywhere. 

"He's gonna make a mess" Grayson said, "Edwin stop" He said holding Edwin's little hands, "no it's fine, let him play" Sameeksha said, "keep reading the instructions" She said. 

"Using your hands, pour cupfuls of water on your baby's body and over its head" He said and looked at Sameeksha, "you wanna do it?" he asked, she nodded and followed what he said. "Good. Now wash your baby with soap" He said, she looked at him, "umm, I mean...my baby..." He said scratching the back of his head. She smiled.

"Can you hold him, he's moving too much" She said, he nodded and supported Edwin's back with one hand. Sameeksha was done and then she started to rinse Edwin with clean water. That's when he started crying, "have I do something wrong" she said stopping, Grayson looked at her, "keep doing it gently" he said biting his lower lip. 

She finished bathing Edwin and then asked Grayson to bring the soft towel that was in the bag. He came back smiling, "that's cute by the way" he said looking at the Pikachu drawn on towel's hood. She smiled.

Sameeksha was holding Edwin while Grayson was trying to make him wear the towel, "come closer" Grayson said, "huh?" Sameeksha said confused. "I'm struggling to make him wear the towel, you have to stand closer to me" he said as a matter of fact.

"Oh, right" She said and took a step forward.

"Gray!!" They heard Ethan's voice, "I'm in the bathroom, we've just given a bath to Edwin" Grayson replied. Ethan opened bathroom's door and found Sameeksha and Grayson standing close to each other.

"Alright" He nodded looking at Sameeksha, "Sam" He said, "why's your face red?" He smirked as he knew she was blushing. "Red?" She said, "it's too in here, maybe that's why" She made an excuse, "you sure?" He asked. 

Grayson was making Edwin wear the hood, while he was looking at Sameeksha, "done" He said. Sameeksha gave him the baby and started walking towards the door, "you were blushing?" He whispered in her ear, "I hate you" She said controlling that smile, he chuckled.

Bandana was sitting on a couch, working on her laptop. Manjot was sitting next to her while Ethan was sitting right in front of her. Her mood was still off because of India's loss. 

She was typing and looking at laptop's screen, her gaze moved up and she saw Ethan looking at her. He immediately looked somewhere else. "Yaar isko mere saamne kyu bithake rakha hai?" She asked Manjot, "itna faltu din hai aaj, ek to match haar gey, uske saath saath series bhi haar gey, upar se yeh firangi mere sar pe bithaya hai bc" She cursed. Manjot understood how angry she was, as she does not curse often.

"What's bc?" Ethan asked curious, "behen ch..." Manjot said and Bandana stopped him by saying "bhai". He rolled his eyes "according to her bhai ch..." Manjot said but she stopped him again, "chodo yaar, gaaliya nhi sikhaani chahiye" She said shaking her head.

"Koi kaam karvao isse, dissertation pe research karni hai na? Woh karvao isse" She said, "actually...vahi problem thi" Manjot said, Bandana looked at him.

"Grayson ka project Razia Sultan pe hai, aur Sameeksha uski help kar rhi hai usme" He said, "Ethan ka topic hai 1857 mutiny pe" he said in a low voice. "Kya topic hai????" Bandana said loudly, "1857 mutiny" He said biting his lower lip. Bandana looked at Ethan, "to ab mujhe isko poore time jhelna padega kyu ki hamare topics same hai?" She asked, Manjot hummed. Bandana closed her eyes and hid her face behind her palms.

Grayson came, "bro it's Tuesday" He said. Ethan looked at him, "shit, we don't have a video to upload" Ethan said. "Video?" Manjot asked, Bandana looked at Ethan. "Yeah, every Tuesday we upload a video on our YouTube channel" Grayson said.

"You are Youtubers?" Bandana asked surprised.

Hey guys!!

How is the fiction going so far?

I wanted to make an announcement about a competition that will take place in this fiction. Just like I am doing "Comment of the Season" in my other fictions, I will do "Caption of the Season" in this fiction. 

This is how it will work: at the end of each chapter, I will post a gif of one of the two Dolan twins, you will have to comment a suitable caption for the gif; this can be a dialogue that Sameeksha/Bandana (from the fiction) will say to them or even something they have said to each other. Let's see how creative you can get. The winner will be the main lead in the next Gurukul.

So starting with the elder twin, here's this chapter's gif:

What do you think made him react like that?
