Third Person's Pov

"There's no use doing this for them. No matter how hard I train them they won't learn." The coach said frustrated by "storm riders" performance.

"Why are you so worried?" Shreyas asked fixing the bikes. "I happen to be their coach" he replied. "Your job is to teach right?" Shreyas asked. "Teaching them about bikes is like preaching to cattle" he replied.

"Come on. We will do well, coach.Trust is everything. Isn't it?" Jo said sarcastically.
"Don't play around because it's your dad's money. At this point we'll close up soon." He said and walked away.

One of the boy from storm riders got into the bike Shreyas had just fixed.
"Fantastic mate! It's got more power now, right?" that boy,Adi asked. "Yes." Shreyas replied.

"You need to change your posture. See that dip? That's the sweet spot. Sit over it. Your chin should always be over the handle bar. Let me show you" Shreyas said and got on to the bike and he just rod off. Everybody including the coach was impressed.

"Why do you need another place to stay?" Ishan asked. "If your folks know that I stay with you, they'll lose it. Your mother will come flying to protect her engineer son." Shreyas replied laughing.

"When will Saru come?" He asked." Oh, she's probably reached. I should call her" Ishan replied. "What about the honeymoon?" Shreyas asked. "No, he's a busy guy. That's how it is in London. This is the first time I'm leaving office early" Ishan replied. "Let this be a good beginning" Shreyas replied laughing.

Shreyas got into the car while Ishan saw something which made him blush. "Did you see that?" Ishan asked Shreyas getting into the car and pointing towards two people kissing. "You'll see such things in London. Come." Shreyas replied. "Still, are they playing a kissing game?" Ishan asked. "Let them play" Shreyas replied.

"Such a same. The culture in India is far better." Ishan said. "Why? Don't people kiss in India?" Shreyas asked. "Not in middle of the road for sure. Shreyas, this is not right. We have our own culture. We have our values." Ishan replied.

"This isn't about values and history. It's pure biology." Shreyas said. "If it's biology, it'd apply to everyone. We both are not like that. We were taught to tread the right path. Why are you silent?"

Ishan asked. "Ishu, don't speak for the two of us." Shreyas replied laughing. "Shreyas, you... When did it happen? How?. No one told me anything! Shreyas this is betrayel." Ishan said sulking. "How did I betray you?" Shreyas asked laughing. "Don't laugh. I won't tell you anything from now on." Ishan said looking out of the window, pouting.

Shubman opened the door only to be greeted by Shreyas trying to scare him and Ishan making a funny face. Their faces flushed when they realised it's Shubman and not Sara, while Shubman could only give a awkward smile.

Shreyas went inside ignoring Shubman while Sara jumped onto him. While Ishan got inside greeting Shubman. "This is Shreyas" Sara introduced Shreyas to Shubman. Shreyas forwarded his hands for a handshake. Shubman accepted the handshake and said "I remember seeing you at the wedding." "Do you remember everyone who was there?" Shreyas asked and walked away.

Sara went to Ishan hugging him. "This is Ishu" Sara introduced him to Shubman but unlike Shreyas Shubman quite liked Ishan as he was a lot more mature and polite.

They all sat around the dining table. "Where is your mango juice?" Ishan asked Sara. "Everyone likes Apple juice here." She replied while he could only nod.

"I got scared when the stock market crashed, then I shifted to insurance from mutual funds. I didn't risk it." Ishan said. "What dates are you getting?" Shubman asked. "6.2 percentage." Ishan replied. "You'll get better rates in market". Shubman said. "Really? Must see it then". Ishan replied.

While the conversation was happening Sara was focused as she loved listening about business while Shreyas could only yawn.

Shreyas started making weird faces at Sara which pissed off Shubman. "So Shreyas, Where are your parents? I mean I didn't see them at the wedding." Shubman asked which made the room quite. "So you aren't aware of our family history. Sara, have you not told him anything? My parents are divorced. Shreyas replied.

" Okay, Where are they now?" Shubman continued asking. Noticing Shreyas become quiet he asked Sara if there is a problem. "Not at all, my father is a colonel in the army. He is somewhere in the border of China. Mom is a housewife. As someone's wife in somebody's house." Shreyas replied.

"You don't sound like you approve of it" Shubman continued. "Who am I to approve? Marriage is like a legal punishment. Haven't you heard it? It's either a life sentence or a big fine. They didn't want it to be a life sentence and fine, it's upon me now." Shreyas replied. Noticing the tense atmosphere Sara asked Shreyas to come with him to the kitchen to see if the cake is cooked or not.

"I've booked tickets to New York tomorrow, remember I had told you. I go there often for business trips. Sometimes two weeks, sometimes two months." Shubman said eating his dinner. "Oh I see." Sara replied. "When I am gone, do you want to go to India with Ishu or do you want to stay here?" He asked "It's fine both ways" Sara replied. "Decide and tell me, i'l book the tickets accordingly." He replied.

She quickly called Shreyas and Ishan and asked them if she should stay or go, she is not going infact they are gonna explore London together. Their childhood dreams were coming true.

It was night and Shubman had already laid on the bed but he couldn't sleep, it had become his habit now. He couldn't sleep until she is sleeping next to him, he hasn't even hugged her or even touched her yet, but still her presence next to him is very peaceful to him. Finally, she came inside and they both smiled at each other. She told him that she would be staying here and he replied with a hum. And finally she laid down beside him and he fell asleep.

Shubman woke up to his alarm as he had an early morning flight. He tried to move his hand but he couldn't that's when he realised Sara was sleeping on his left hand while his right hand was holding her waist pulling her towards him, her hands were clutching on his night suit . He started blushing, she had never been this close to him. Carefully he took his hands and laid her head on the pillow and covered her with the blanket. He got ready and took his suitcase. He smiled looking at her sleeping and gave a kiss on top of her head and on her cheeks. And just like that he left for New York feeling very shy. He couldn't take her out of his mind.
