Recap

I then saw Danny coming towards me. Not able to control my emotions I ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

"I am selected. Den I am so happy." I whispered in his ears.

"Congratulations baby." He said hugging me with same force.

Shanaya's POV

It's been a week since I came to South Africa.

I am quite happy with my life right now. Having Virat is practically the most amazing thing.

Just a week here and I have made so many friends. My chain of thoughts were broken by a ting sound that belonged to my phone. I took my phone and saw Virat had messaged me. I smiled.

Veer- I see someone is so busy that they don't even have time to talk now.
With whom are you right now? I hope it's not that Parker guys, is it?

Me- Fortunately or Unfortunately, yes.😋😂

Veer- Whatever.

Me- Why do you always have a problem with this poor guy? He is so sweet.

Veer- You find him sweet because you don't know him properly.

Me- As if you know all about him. Where you is PA ever?

Veer- I am serious.

Me- Then go to the hospital. I can't afford losing a precious gem like you.😄

Veer- 😄.

Me- You know you're special right?

Veer-😊

Me- Veer ..

Veer- Hmm

Me- You know I hate "hmm's"

Veer- And you know that I don't like Parker.

Me- Veer, he is a great friend. But you're the greatest.

Veer- Nayu, it's not about me. It's about you. You can't get so comfortable with a guy whom you met just few days ago.

Okay. Now I am pissed. Very pissed at my Best Friend.

Me- Veer. You were no different. I trusted you within few hours..Let alone few days. In friendship time doesn't matter. It's the bond between people. And how can you judge Parker. You don't even know him.

Veer- I guess you are right. Anyways let's just leave this. Tell me about cricket. How's it going.

This guy exactly knows how to lift my mood. But he is certainly not acting normal. He is behaving very mean and rude. I just don't know why.

Me- Amazing. You know I scored 85* in the last match. I had a brimming partnership with Parker. Parker scored a century. I even picked 3 wickets. It was so nice. We won. Tomorrow is the last day of the tournament. Last match, final match. I am so excited. Yet nervous.

Veer- Hey! Congratulations woman. Fantastic. And you gonna rock tomorrow. I trust you more than myself. Go girl!

I know he was motivating just like that. Originally...He was sulking.

Me- Thanks Veer. What about your matches. When is the U-19 world cup starting?

Veer- Next week. Excited. Nervous. But confident.

Me- You'll rock it captain. Haye Haye captain.😂

Veer- Gotta go. See ya! Love you.

Me- See ya. Miss me😂 Love you too.

We had such conversation daily. We had a chain..Like a thing that is.. every Saturday nights we would stay up and talk to each other. Let it be chats or talking over phone or FaceTime. It's always fun to talk to him. He makes me feel home. I am delighted to have someone like him in my life. He just adds happiness and makes sure no sorrows every enter my life. His so far yet it feels like he is sitting next to me.

"Hey girl." I heard Parker's voice.

"Hey boy." I said earning a eye roll from him.

"So what's up? How's everything?" He asked to initiate the conversation.

"Why do you always act so formally to start a conversation?" I asked.

"I don't know. I want to talk to you but I don't know what to talk." He said.

I chuckled.

"You don't have to start a conversation formally. Just be yourself. Even if you don't talk and sit next to me. It's okay." I said.

" You're damn understanding." He mumbled.

I laughed and patted his back. I was about to say something when the teacher entered and asked us to basically Shut up.

I was quite attentive and was listening to everything when my phone buzzed. All eyes towards me. Teacher's​ eyes was basically boring into mine. I swear had it been a war and I would be dead.

"I am sorry." I smiled sheepishly and kept my phone on silent.

She continued teaching. I had an urge to see who texted so I took out my phone and saw Veer's message.

Veer- Sorry, this Saturday..I mean today....I won't be able to stay up late. I have a practice next morning and would prefer sleeping. Love you x.

Me- You okay na?

Veer- Yeah yeah.

Me- You don't seem to be okay.

Veer- Nah I am okay just some stress cause of the upcoming world cup. I am a captain and all. Just that. Nothing much. Don't worry xx.

Me- You can share Veer. You know that I am always there for you. And Veer you've been sulking for a week. Ever since I told you about Parker. You're just being mean and rude.

Veer- I know. I told you what's disturbing. Nothing beyond that.

Me- You know what just go to hell. I am tired of making things go right. I always want to be there for you. But you just don't understand. You fucking don't understand. I swear Veer I am tired of all this. You're a friend. We're friends but you don't treat me as one. I am sorry Veer. I am tired of all this. I tried to cope up with you but no you chose to ignore things. I always tried to cheer you up but you're back to your sulking self. I am always there for you to tell me everything going on in that stupid brains of yours but you chose to keep things to yourself. Veer, this is friendship and not a "Relationship" for God's sake understand that and behave like a friend.

Veer- Woah! Wow. Fantastic. I am the one to be blamed. Have you ever thought why I behave like that. You're there to tell me all that. I always wanted a friend who would understand me. I agree you understand me. But you don't understand things without saying. I have built fucking high expectations from us, from your friendship. You mean fucking everything to me. You're my world. Everything revolves around you. Yet, you want to blame me for this act of mine. You're here to blame me, tell me that you're tired of me. But have you ever thought the reasons for this silly behaviour of mine. I want YOU. I want you, my best friend, to be by my side. I want you to stay here for me. I want you to be there, here  standing in front of me. I want to fucking hug you and share all my problems. But no. You're not here..This makes me sad. The reason for want wit sadness is that you're not present with me. I miss you. I really want to see you.

Veer- I am sorry if my words hurt but I wanted to see you and hug you. That's it. I am really sorry for sulking. Pakka I won't sulkofy. Pakka promise. Winter Wala promise.

I chuckled at his behaviour. I forgot I was in the class. My chuckling made everyone look at me like I committed a crime.

"You're okay na?" I heard Parker's voice.

"Yeah yeah. I am sorry." I said.

I stood up and Parker gave me an annoyed look. He was confused. I could see that.

"Madam. I am really sorry but I need to leave. I have something important to catch up. I am really sorry." Saying that I took all my belongings and ran out of the class. I made my way to cafeteria.
