I gulp down my third drink in one go and ordered another. "Woah woah girl stop. What has happened? You only drink wine and tonight you are actually drinking whiskey?" Abhishek said and then looked at Ishan.

"Baat toh sahi hai. Something is up and you aren't telling but drinking this in one go." Ishan said when the waiter handed me my another drink and then I gulp it down too in one go.

I raised my hand for another drink but Abhishek shoved it down. "Anzel please stop! Look at you. Puffy eyes with dark circles. Since how many nights you haven't slept?" Ishan said.

I shut my eyes because the drink had started to effect me. I felt dizzy but rolled my eyes at them.

•Shubman Gill•

I stopped as I found Abhishek and Ishan sitting at the bar with Anzel. She had just landed in New York as our match was in a week or so. So we had decided to chill, not outside but in our hotel's bar that is downstairs. And here we are.

I think I was late because they had ordered their mojito and not mine. I went closer and then heard Ishan shouting at Anzel.

"Who fucking cares? Nobody. Nobody cares!" Anzel said and turned.

"Hey Anzel." I smiled but Anzel was numb. She closed her eyes and then she was about to fell when I caught her in my arms. I gulp down my saliva when I saw her this close to me.

"Oh no Anz! Take her to the room!" Ishan said.
"But how she is unconscious." I said.

"Take her in your arms. Yeh muscle kis liye bnaye hai? Apni dost ki madad kar!" Ishan said.

I pulled Anzel in my arms and then took her to her room in bridal style.

I placed her onto the bed and then Abhishek, I and Ishan exchanged our expressions.

"Now?" Ishan asked.

I looked around and found a water bottle. I took it and threw some water droplets on her face and then she opened her eyes. She got up and sat straight. She looked up at us and then,

"Oh f-" she was about to say something when she stood up and went straight in the washroom.

I pulled Anzel's hair in a bun and rubbed her back as she puked.

"Hn hn aur pee, kisne bola tha tujhe 4 drinks peene ke liye? Huh?" Abhishek said and I turned my head to him with wide eyes.

"How much?" I nearly shouted. "FOUR aur woh bhi whiskey! She was also about to order the fifth one." Ishan said as he crossed his arms.

I turn my attention back to her as she stopped. I cleaned her face with towel and then she fell on me.

"She is still unconscious. Let her sleep." I said and took her to her bed and placed the blanket on her.

"You two go back to your room. I'll take care of her." I said as Abhishek and Ishan both shoot me a teasing smile.

"Apne pyaar ko side main hi rakhio." Ishan smirked "Hn aur bhool mat jaio that she isn't single." Abhishek too smirked at me and then I shoot them my death glares.

"Are you guys for real?" I said "Call us when she wake up." They said and left.

I turned and looked at her, at her sleeping face. It's been few months of our togetherness. I met her in the GT camp. She was GT insider. And since then we are very good friends. And I can't deny the fact that I wanna see myself with her.  Yes I have a crush on her.

She is like a pearl, simple yet so beautiful.

But this one thing that always makes me sad is that she have a boyfriend and they have been dating for 2 years now. And in these years I don't think I've seen Anzel happy with her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend, Karan was always jealous of Anzel because she is a known personality. She was a Tennis player before becoming Digital Insider. And Karan...he is nothing but lives on his father's money. But still don't have admirers like her.

Anzel woke up and rubbed her eyes. She got up and sat straight. I got up and handed her a glass of water and lemon.

She sighed and looked up at me. I sat in front of her and looked at her.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I drank too much." She said looking down.

"No it's alright, but what happened?" I said and she looked up.

"Karan broke up with me." She said and started crying. I went close to her and then rubbed her back.

What the hell. No Shubman don't smile. No, don't smile too hard.

"Oh but why?" I asked. "You remember after IPL we had a party? I was smiling too much with you and... you were standing close to me in that group photo. He saw it and said I'm a girl that can sleep with anyone and said that he will never look at a girl like me again. Just because I stood with you in that photo and.." she wept in my arms. I closed my eyes as I could feel my blood boil inside me.

"Do you know where he is now?" I asked.
"Yes, I saw him at yxz café. That's near our hotel. I don't know why he is here in New York after our break up." She said and cried.

I clenched my jaw and dialled Ishan's no. He and Abhishek came in the room in a second. And then I left for my work.

I left the room, grabbed my hoodie and went downstairs. I left the hotel and then saw him. He was sitting on a bench that's near a tree. It was dark and I was wearing a black hoodie. He couldn't spot me but I did.

I went near the bench and grabbed his collar.

"What. Did. You. Said. To. Anzel?" I said gritting my teeth. "What?" Karan snapped.

"What are you doing here?" I looked back at the hotel. The room he had been spying on.

"You were spying on her?" Karan raised his hands in air "I can explain. It's just i was making sure that she is alright...nothing else Shub. Calm down." He said but I could feel the fear down his eyes.

I held his jaw and then punched his nose.

"Don't you dare to even look at her. She is not yours now and if I see you around her. You are dead." I said and threw him on the bench.

He touched his bleeding nose and then at me. He came charging at me with anger. I raised my hands and then slapped him. He fell on the ground with eyes closed and I made my ways back in the hotel.

~✨~

"And please welcome the Player of the Match. Shubman Gill everyone." I smiled as I walked up to Harsha sir as he handed me the award. After this I went straight to where they were standing.

"Okay man, that's it and last congratulations." She said smiling widely to Abhishek. He smiled at her and then looked at me. "Look who we have now, Player of the match. The camera is yours now." Abhishek winked at me and then left me with her and the cameraman.

"Here's our Player of the Match everyone, actually back to back player of the match performance from you. So How are you feeling after scoring three centuries back to back in T20 World cup, Are you going to continue this century streak?" Anzel said with a wide smile on her face.

"Ya I would say that I'm feeling very 'player of the match' now a days. I will say that I think Its just the lady luck that has entered in my life. After her only I'm actually scoring back to back centuries and fifties. And Ya I think I'll continue it If she always takes my interview after matches." I said and winked at her to which she blushed.

"Very cheesy but okay. So we will meet you after you will score another century then." She laughed. "See you in the next, Indvspak then." I said and laughed.

"Cut." The cameraman said and then left.

I looked back at Anzel and than at her chooda. It's been three months of our marriage. And here is she interviewing my performances after every match. I would say that this day wouldn't have come if I didn't went back to her room after his dismissal and confessed my feelings.

She was shocked and didn't said anything but the next day she came in the practice session. She hugged me and then that was the start that I don't want to end.

"You are my beginning, my middle and my end." I said and hugged her.

"I love you Shubman. Always and forever." She said and kissed my cheeks.

The End
