Saakshi was looking at the players warming up rather uninterestedly. Hadn't it been her bestie's request, never ever she would have come to watch her arch nemesis's match, that too against her favourite team, DC. Arch nemesis? Well yeah, Abhishek Sharma is just that for her. Nothing less, but a lot more on the negative side.

She closed her eyes and let the lone tear roll down.

Poorvi, her bestie failed to notice it.

Things wouldn't have been this bad if years ago, he would have for once listened to her that fateful evening.

Everyone is blind in love, but Abhishek was much more than that. Both of them paid the price for his mistake. Two people, who were fond of each other, turned foes.

They met for the first time in college. Abhishek was the heart-throb there, but had given his attention to only two ladies, Anisha, his girlfriend and Saakshi, her best-friend, who slowly become his best-friend too. Everything was fine, until Anisha got insecure about the other too. Abhi, who loved her truely tried to clear everything, but in vain. Saakshi was oblivious to Anisha's accusations. Everything changed the night she saw Anisha cheating upon Abhi. She approached Abhi, only to be brutally hurt by his words. Abhi refused to believe her and it changed. Saakshi was an introvert then and losing her only friends made her leave Mohali and continue her graduation in Delhi. And the story continued .

Abhishek had noticed her in the stands. The reason of his distraction. He'll recognise Saakshi even if she's lost in the sea of a lac.

Kamlesh ran up to him.

' You seem too distracted today.'

'She's here.' Abhi replied.

Kamlesh and Shubman knew everything.

' Apologize right after the match cause right now it isn't possile.' Kamlesh said, in a no-nonsense tone.

DC won the toss and decided to bat.

Abhishek and Rahul Tripathi opened the chaase of 156.

No matter what, Abhishek is really good in his game. Saakshi loved his cricketer form inspite of hating him.

A 50 in just 29 balls.

In the next ball. attempting to hit a six, Abhi hit the ball only to hit Saakshi in the stands with it. A six and a fix.

Purvi shrieked. It was all Saakshi could register in before it blackened for her.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

White ceiling and white walls.

'You are admitted in the hospital. The SRH team arranged this for you.' Purvi said and helped her sit up.

' THIS IS SO-'

' I know, Sakhu. But what to do! Btw, Abhishek Sharma will be here soon to see you. SRH won the match by DLS and---'

'How long I had been -'

She was cut off, ' Approx an hr. Thankfully no concussion. I'll be back with the meds.'

After a while, the door opened and he entered.

Saakshi's mood turned sour. Indeed Sharma is a curse in her life. And was she only one to be hit with the sixer ball of his?

'How are you?'

'Why are you here?' she asked, curtly, as soon as Abhi had sat on the chair beside her.

'Am the reason of your hospitalization. It's my duty to be here.' he replied.

'Duty and you? Next joke please. Why don't you just say you're here just for the sake of your image?'

'Shut the hell up woman! What's wrong with you?' his jaw-line was hard and so his fist.

'I asked this same question 7 years ago and...AAH!' Saakshi couldn't continue and yelped in pain.

Abhi sprang up and came near her.

She didn't miss the real concern in his eyes. Something in her flickered. The Abhishek Sharma she knew.

'I know a better way of making you silent so be a good girl and take rest.' Abhi smirked and moved back.

Saakshi wanted to open her mouth to say something but just then, Purvi came back with the meds.

'Doc said you have to be here for a day.'

'It's just a swell!'

' Shut up or else I will call and inform aunty!'

'Blackmailing always works on her.' Abhi remarked.

' You know her?'

' We were classmates in college and had a lot in common.' Abhi replied, coolly.

Much to Saakshi's expectations, Purvi screamed, 'You idiot! Abhishek Sharma is your friend- why the hell you didn't tell me---'

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

It has been few months since the incident. Much to her annoyance, Abhi frequently showed up at her home.

It was time for the Diwali holidays. Saakshi had just come at the arrivals of Chandigarh Aiport when she spotted Abhishek waiting. Yes, her mom had told her Abhi wouldbe picking her up. She was surprised that how and why did he contact her mother and patched up?

Abhi had also called her earlier to inform the same.

'Where did you get my number?' She asked, as soon they had sucessfully managed to get out through the back gate, thanks to the security and his disguise.

I never deleted your old number and I got the new one from your mom. I know you don't need an explanation but yeah I got it just to apologize to you. But never got the courage as my ego and blindeness overcame my regret.' Abhishek said and put the trollley bag in the trunk of his car.

The ride to home was a silent one. Saakshi's thoughts were messed up. She finally came to conclusion.

' I think it is time for you to see the reality. Drive to 21-B near the Central Park.' she said, firmly.

'Huh?'

Nevertheless, he folllowed her instructions.

'Whose house this is?' Abhi asked, putting the car to halt.

'Anisha's. I think it's time for you to know the truth.' Opening the car's door Saakshi got down, and motioned him to do so too. Saakshi calmly said and literally dragged a reluctant him to the door and rang the bell.

Anisha opened the door, only to be left shocked. Composing herself and understanding it's time, she called them inside.

' Abhi deseves a closure.' Saakshi said.

' I was just infatuated by you, Abhi. Because true love has no space for insecurities, mistrusts and back---ughhh.' Anisha began, 'What Saakshi said that night to you was all true. Not a bit false.'

A tear rolled down Abhi's eye. He knew something brutal was coming his way but the thing is truth hard to digest.

' Maama? '

A voice called from upstairs.

Abhi freezed and Saakshi sighed.

' Coming baby!' Anisha replied a little loud.

' That's my daughter. I got married to the one who made me realise what love really is. You are a true lover, Abhishek. And you deserve the best. I was never meant to be the one. Love the one who truely knows you.' Anisha said and got up, ' Sorry, I have to go. Take care both.'

Saakshi got up and Abhi followed her, silently.

She took the keys from him and drove to the cliff. She pulled him out of the car and said, ' Scream here as much as you want, cry as much as you want. No one is here. And I will not judge you for this.'

Abhi screamed his heart out broke down in tears. Saakshi had moist eyes too.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Abhi and Saakshi were back to being friends after a lot of struggle and Abhi being himself, wanted to compensate for those 7 years they missed out. Movie nights, brunches, cafes, family meets, hugs and cuddles help a lot to do that. Unknown to them, they were slowly getting closer.

A year later -

'Abhi? What are you upto? It's 4 am! Let me sleep!' Saakshi yelled over the call.

'I got the earliest flight to B'lore for you and you are saying this? Alexa, play 'Jag Soona Soona Lage' in full volume please!' Abhishek replied, dramatically.

Her sleep went far away hearing him.

' Where are you right now?'

' Room no 75. Beside you. Open the door now, Sakhi!'

Cutting the call. Saakshi got down from the bed and ran to open the door.

' Happy Birthdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Madame! Sorry I could'nt wish at 12!'

Abhi said as soon as she had opened the door.

She pulled him in, fearing he might wake up others.

' YOU LITERALLYYYY FLEW ALL THE WAY FROM ENGLAND FOR ME? I love you so much!'

Abhi was about to drop the cake and orchids but somehow he managed.

Pin drop silent.

Saakshi waited for his reaction to slip of tongue, yet true words. She had fallen for him truely and deeply. Pyaar bolke thodi hota hai?

' And I love you too.' Abhishek replied and placed a peck on her forehead.

Ang guys do I have to tell you how beautiful the world became for the Sharma couple thereafter, with their little versions?
