Shanaya's Pov.

Precap.

"Look, Veer--"I realised what I just said and I stopped. Veer. Oho! Nayu you gave this name to him mentally na. You weren't supposed to call him this aloud.

"Sorry. I don't know why I---"I was cut off by him. What he said next astonished me.

"I liked what you called me. Veer. This is nice. "He smiled. Smile that reached his eyes. One true smile.

"Aww! You liked it? "

"Very much. "

We looked in each other's eyes intensely. I don't know for how long. But we kept looking in each other's eyes. Until the gateman asked us to move aside as he was closing the stadium gate.

"Uncle if you close the gate then how will the people in the café come out? "I asked innocently.

Virat and Uncle started laughing.

"He is closing the gate of the stadium so that no one can enter the stadium.  Wankhede's gate is open, don't worry. It gets closed at 10:00 pm. "He explained.

"Oh" is all that I replied.

We walked away from the gate and let Uncle close the door.

I told Virat to come inside the stadium. But he hesitated.

"Look Veer, the stadium gate is closed which means no one can enter the stadium. We will go inside and leave by 7.No one will now about it. Let's go. You will enjoy. You love cricket na. So why this hesitation? "I tried explaining.

"Let's give it a shot. But Danielle shouldn't know about this. You know she will yell as trespassing is an offence. "He said quite confidently.

"Okay so let's go."I smiled.

We went near the tree and checked if anyone could see us. There we're very few people around. We looked at each other and smiled.

"I'll go first and then you come. "I told. He nodded.

I climbed the tree. It was a usual thing as I climb all the trees I like. I was used to it. I know I am crazy.

"Seems like someone is trained in climbing trees. "Veer commented.

"Hahah.. Actually I love climbing trees. I've climbed nearly 100 trees. Trees are beautiful, you know. "I said while jumping to the second tree.
Veer was right behind me. I jumped off the second tree and landed directly on a blue coloured chair. I was looking around when Veer jumped without looking down. He wasn't aware of me still standing there.

I fell down and he was on me. We looked into each others eyes. His eyes were magical. They were very beautiful. His eyes had lots of things unsaid. I felt like it's been years that he has hid things from all. I wanted to listen to all that he wanted to say. I wanted to share his pain. But why? I don't know why but I just want to be with him. Ahaha!! To earth Nayu.

I don't know why but I started laughing. He was still on top of me. And not to make things awkward I laughed. Seeing me laugh he broke rolled his eyes as he understood why I laughed. He pulled my hands making me get up. I straightened myself. Pulling my tee down.

"Thank you, Veer" I said.

He rolled his eyes again. But why? What's wrong?

"You okay na? "I asked concerned.

He didn't say anything just asked me to sit on the bench. We opened our wada pav and poured the tea in plastic glasses that we carried.

"I was just 3 year old when Dad and Mom went to Australia. They took bhai with them but left me. I was too small to understand anything. I tried not being hurt but all my practices went in vain. My heart ached. I wanted my family. I wanted to stay with them. But nah they went. I yet didn't lose hope. I used to call them everyday. They never received my calls. I messaged them everyday. They didn't bother to reply. I walked 30km everyday to the post office with grandma to post letters but they cared least. I felt bad. I felt hurt. I was broken. What was I? A 4-year-old. How was I supposed to understand things. It was my age to live life. Enjoy my childhood. But no. My own parents stole my childhood. I started to hate people. But grandma and grandpa were always there for me. They made my childhood better. Grandpa took me to parks, gardens and everywhere possible. They became my best friends. In school, I played and got along with everyone. Almost everyone were my friends. I was happy with my life. Grandpa got to know about my love for cricket. He taught me cricket. I had so much fun in life. Everything came back to track. I forgot about mom and dad. I found my parents in them. Grandma was my secret shared. I told her everything like seriously each and everything. You know why said I loved it when you called me Veer. Because my grandma called me Veer. And I loved it then too. Being with you reminds me of her. Same jovial, happy and lively. You are just like her. "He smiled and I smiled too.

"Aage toh bol. I wanna hear whole story. " I asked.

"Forget it. Phir kabhi already bahut senti hogaya hai. Let's have some fun yaar. "He smiled.

I knew he wanted to tell me many things but not now. It's too early. He need time to believe me. Trust me. That will take time but he'll tell. Because I am 100% sure I'll not leave him till I get that pain out of him. He is amazing yaa.

"You know everyone has a past. Some part of your past is good while some is bad. We should hold on the good things and force our heart and mind to think good and positive. Letting go of the 'bad' things in past is the best thing. "I said.

I hope I my word relaxed him a bit.
