Lucid Dreams (KL Rahul Fanfic) ON HOLD

CHAPTER -13

I'm trying to make sense of what I saw on the screen

Is it really him? How here? It can't be

Many thoughts went through my head, Keerthi was telling something, but I didn't hear it

All I can see is him, standing on the ground with his bat ready to hit the ball

"Lily! Lily!" she called

Keerthi's voice made me come to my senses

I nodded

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know"

I wanted to run away from here, but I didn't

"Are you not gonna see him?"

"No... It's.. it's not like he'll remember me"

"Really? No way, he is your childhood friend"

"He was my childhood friend" I corrected her

"Do you want to leave?" Keerthi asked a little concerned

I should've left but I want to watch the match, I want to know how it finishes, and who wins because I want to see him play, how he plays

"No, let's stay" I said "till the match finishes"

He looks different now than the last time I saw him

The game went by,

And Rahul hit a 50 I guess, he was celebrating his 50

"He is playing good" I told

"Yes he really is, you know he is one the best batsman in India currently" Keerthi said

All his hardwork has paid off I thought, for some reason I felt so proud

"Tell me more about the game"

"About cricket?"

"No.. yes I mean who is going to win"

"Okay now they have to score more than 300, that would be a nice score to defend...." She began
........
.............
".....At this pace definitely India will win" She concluded

She explained about a lot of cricketing terms, by the time she finished india scored a 350-6

And now England came to batting

"He is batting again?"

"Who?"

"Rahul, he came with a helmet again?"

"No he's a wicket keeper..." She looked at me "the one who stands behind the wickets or stumps"

"Oh okay"

The 2nd innings started, and Rahul deflected some balls from going to four

"That's an out, stumping!" Keerthi shouted

"That's good" I told

"So you are interested suddenly"

"No I'm not"

"Huh, yeah yeah I see" Keerthi was already grinning, "The game is so intresting?..."

"Yes"

"...Or maybe the one behind the stumps" she said eyeing me

"Let's watch the match"

She chuckled.

The match finished and India won

I got up to leave when all the players left by the stairs, some players were giving signatures to the people near the stairs, and he was too

We were two rows away from the stairs but there is no way he can see me I thought

Rahul looked up from the crowd, like searching for someone. Suddenly his eyes met mine, I realised he was looking at me. I turned back and walked inside

But it's too late, no way he recognises me

I walked fastly to get out

Did he reall...."Ah" I bumped into someone

I looked up to see a guy, he was quiet tall

He was wearing a jersey, he's a player too I guess

He looked at me, that eyes I have seen him somewhere

"You again?" He said, with an amazed look
