Virat : No, i don't. You're a nice person so i talk to you.

Me : Yes, i get it. But why? What are we gonna get out of this?

Virat : do you make friends thinking how they're gonna benefit you?

Me : No, it's not like that. It's just weird when you think about it.

Virat : it shouldn't be Eira. We are friends. Idc about ur cast or identity, neither should you.

Virat : besides, we can talk about anything. I trust you,.

Me : why?

Virat : Because u would've leaked my number or messages if you weren't trust worthy

Me : That feels better. I shouldn't have over thought about it

Virat : lol it's okay. You know what the real trouble can be?

Me : what?

Virat : what's the point though?

Me : Easy for u to say, all you've to do is grow a beard to get hot 😣

Virat : you think I'm hot 😏😏

Me : no. I was talking about men in general

Virat : so facial hair on a man is important to you

Me : It's the biggest turn on.

Me : nothing perverted. Wbu

Virat : Real personality.

Me : saaame. Or a respectable man. Like a gentleman

Me : I'm so tired i swear 😪😪

Virat : why?

Me : cause i had uni first. Then had to go out for a survey thing and then my sister took me shopping and now I've to clean my room 😵😠😩😩

Me : I'm hungry and have no energy to even type 😥😥

Virat : 😨😨 That's what being tired is for u?

Me : yes 😴😴

Virat : You know what being tired is?

Me : wut

Virat : when you have to wake up at five in the morning on tour to practice and u get off at 12. Then you eat breakfast and you're off to the gym. Then practice again and then the match. Your bones are literally breaking and then u play. God forbid if u lose..you're tired and frustrated af but the coach calls u at midnight. Saala raat k time p kehta ghaltiyan dekho 😠😧

Me : Veeeee. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Me : why are you so frustrated today 😂😂😋😋

Me : cricket is your passion. Passion can never tire you.

Me : I know what you feel because I've seen Farhan bhai. Its okay. I think you had a bad day. Kya hua?

Virat : Arey nothing yar. Everything just piled up

Me : like?

Virat : like the fact that i thought we had a break but now we gotta go to Bangalore for a quick series. And i had plans with my family here.

Me : And?

Virat : and it's a small series, you know? Against a local team. More like a practice match. Mahi bhai ain't even leading the team, half of the players are new.

Virat : So I'll have to lead the team. Against literal KIDS. I am a pro. I Don't need to go but the coach yells at me that i should.

Me : You're the vice captain right?

Virat : Yes?

Me : and you are going to be the captain in a few days. MSD is retiring from capt, right?

Virat : yea

Virat : ur point?

Me : the point is that maybe it's for ur own good. Maybe it's for ur practice so you understand it better

Virat : but😯😯

Me : but what?

Me : is there anything that you'd do other than cricket? As a passion? Career?

Virat : Well there's this one thing but you're not gonna like it 😏😏

Me : I'm serious 😥

Virat : No, nothing.

Me : then stop mourning and go to bengla whatever 😩😬

Virat : bangalore 😂😂

Me : haan woi. 😋

Virat : Yaar but 🤔

Me : Virat whatever steps you've to take, wherever goal you have to achieve, you have to go through every phase and every step.

Me : If being a Pakistani, I can say that MSD is the best captain of this decade, then it means you have huge shoes to fill. Right?

Virat : right.

Me : So these are the tiny steps that will lead you there. Okay?

Virat : Okay.

Me : Now I'm gonna go, sleep. I'm tired. 😪😪

Virat : Okay. Thank you.

Me : Not a problem.

Virat : Good bye x
