RIYAN'S POV

OMG 😳!
I got selected in U-19 world cup.
How is that even-
A captain?????
I should tell her.

Maybe she already knows!
If she does, wouldn't she call me?

I'll call her.

On call:

Me: Hey Vaish?
Vaish: Just about to call you! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! CONGRATULATIONS 👏👏
Me: Thankyou!!!!!
You are happy?
Vaish: Dude? Are you kidding me?
I am ecstatic!
Me: You are going to watch my every match right? I mean we are best friends.
Vaish: Ofcourse we are. But I am leaving to Harvard tonight.
Me: Tonight??
How can you not tell me that?
Vaish: I am so sorry Riyan!
I didn't want you to lose focus.
Me: I- I will call you later.

And I cut the call.
Within no time I can feel my tears flowing through my cheeks.

She is the first person who I wanted to share this amazing news with but I don't think she feels what I feel for her.
I am actually sad.
She is ambitious. Very.
I am so glad that she is but yeah! It hurts when you know that your feelings are not mutual.

My door bell rings and my family is here to congratulate me.

Vaish: SURPRISE!
Me: Hey!!!!
Vaish: CONGRATULATIONS!
Me: Thank-you.
Vaish: I just wanted to see you before I leave.
Bye bye Riyan. I wish you all the success.

And she leaves.

After 5 years.........

Jaiswal: Dude! You were amazing today!
Me: Haha! Thankyou.
Abhay: Days like this open my eyes about why I am not the captain.
Me: That's painfully true. Isn't it?
Abhay: Shutup.
Jaiswal: You are a vice.
Abhay: True that. What are we doing today anyway?
Me: Ah-
Pizza and shopping.
Abhay: We sound like the ladies.
Me: Uh-uh. Don't. We are not that patient.
Jaiswal: Exactly.
Me: Anyway, I am going back to my home town after ages so..
Dev: Didn't you go there 3 weeks ago?
Shubhang: Ah! But you see Dev, Vaishali, or as he calls "Vaishu" is going to be there after years.
Dev: Vaishali as in Business tycoon and a billionaire Vaishali?
Me: Yeah. I am so proud.
But that's not why I am this excited.
Jaiswal: Oh it is.
Me: Fine. But on of my cousins is getting married.
Dev: okay! Her friend?
Me: Oh yeah.
Dev: Wah bhai wah!
Anyway, you guys are dating?
Jaiswal: Not really. He is in "loooveeee" but she, we don't think so.
Dev: Nice!

Abhay justs switch the TV on.

Reporter: This is where we conclude the interview with our Vaishali Lakhmani. We are all very proud of you.
Vaishali: Thankyou so much.

Here ends the interview.

Dev: Ohoooooo!!!!
Look if he is blushing.
Jaiswal: Yeah. Apples.
Shubhang: Ofcourse.
Me: Shutup.
And can we actually leave?
Dev: Oh we might. She got interviewed nearer to the airport.
Abhay: Are you still friends atleast?
Me: Haha! Nope.
Dev: Dude! That's gotta hurt.
Me: I know. It does but it is what it is right?
Abhay: Hmm! Let's go.
