My Constant

35

It was a hectic day for pihu with back to back physio sessions, report analysis and dealing with new injuries of boys

It was almost time for them to leave as the boys were wrapping up pihu was talking with rahul sir about rah's fitness

"Yes sir I'm sure now that he is fit to play"
She told him

He was glad to hear that as the list of injured players kept on increasing, it felt like a relief to him that rah is good to play now as with no mayank and rohit fit for the next match they were short of openers to play with shub

Yup rohit got himself injured in the nets while playing umran's unplayable balls

They both were discussing when the chaos broke in the dressing room as ishan came out of the shower with some red substance all over him

"Why me always" He whined

While hardik, yuzi and the other youngsters started laughing
The seniors were feeling pity for the poor boy

"You and your silly pranks harry" Rah and jassi both said together while smacking back of his head

"What you don't even know it was me or not just don't go around blaming me" He stuttered trying to act cool

"But he didn't even came in the dressing room from morning, then how? "kul said

" Exactly I'm innocent " Harry beamed

"We totally know it's you harry" Jassi said flatly

"How do you two always do this" He sulked

"Coz we are your best friends and we know what you are capable of" Jassi said

"And we know what goes in your mind without you saying it aloud" Rah finished it

They all suddenly heard "I miss abhay"

She looked as their faces turned towards her

"Was that aloud" She asked herself

"Loud enough for us to hear" Washy replied

and she knew at that moment she messed up again

"Haan haan miss toh abhay ko he karegi na woh toh best friend hai hum hai he kaun" Rishu said

"Hum toh frnds bhi nhi hai na" Yuzi said

"Yaar pihu we are not that bad of a company ki you miss that idiot now" Washy said

"Guys stop" Shub stopped them, he knew they were just trying to pull her leg, but looking at her and after last night he knew this is effecting her in a very bad way

"I didn't mean it that way, it wasn't even supposed to be aloud, I don't want to hurt you guys, I don't know why, I just, you are all my friends, I..." She was rambling making everyone confused

"I'm sorry I'm so sorry" Her eyes sting

She left from there saying she need to attend some call

she was missing abhay alot specially that day, she felt that if he would've been there things might be easier for her, he knows her inside out yeah it's the same time period they all met but that's what the special thing about best friend is

you don't need to know each other for years to know something about someone, even in a very short time they will know you much more than you know yourself, if you have matching vibes you guys gonna kill it, that's what they both had, they both were crazily insane together, they both know each other very well to know when they are lying or hiding something, that's why she felt if he would've been with her at that moment he must've solved half of her problems by now, she got habitat to him, she got accustomed to sharing everything with him in 1.5 month but now even with everyone around she was feeling alone

it wasn't like others don't love her or she doesn't trust them it's just she doesn't want trouble anyone of them and moreover abhay know much more about her to judge her , he knows so many things about her and such thing that she didn't even shared with anyone , he creates such a zone for her that she end up sharing everything with him ,they both know a lot about each other's past, he didn't judged her or said that she's not well or anything even after knowing all about her past and stuff, now she knew no matter what ever happens he won't judge her for anything, she knows she just can be herself in front of him without the fear of being judged or fear of losing him or the fear of troubling him but sometimes her overthinking wins and that's what happened now, she thought she might trouble him with her stories when he is already dealing with some family stuff the reason she decided to hide all these from him

She was lost in her thoughts when virat slipped beside her and sat on the ground

"So..? Missing best friend haan?"

She turned to say something when he cut her off

"It's not a mistake you know as you are behaving now with your apology and all"

She stared at him

"Yeah I mean it's normal to miss your best friend if he isn't with you for so many days, I tho miss rohit even if he miss any match if he is away even for few hours, because we all know that best friends make everything easy and simple" He added

"But I didn't meant to hurt them it's not just abhay even you all matters to me alot" She finally said

"Bacha they were just teasing you no one was hurt, and we know how much you love all of us, and I know the reason you are missing abhay is it's just he knows you way better than us and right now you are not in a state of explaining yourself you just need someone who will understand you without you even saying, but... If ever you feel to share anything you know I'm always there for you, I got your back bacha just trust me"he said taking her in a side hug

She was dumbfounded for few minutes

"Aap bhi toh itne ache se samaj the ho mujhe, mere bina kuch bole he aapko itna kuch pata chal gaya hai"she said looking at ground

"Haan but sab kuch nhi pata hai na aur jab tak sab kuch nhi pata hoga main kaise help kar paunga teri" He said caressing her hairs

She was too touched with his words and more than that it was the feeling that she was getting at that moment, that he can make everything right she just needs to tell him and he will manage it

She was even ready to tell him but..

But something stopped her, if she shares anything with him one thing will lead to another and a lot of things will come out and that's not the point, the point is she hates to be vulnerable in front of her loved ones and when they get disturbed due to her, coz of her problems,she hates that, she hates to see her people in such state

Her phone rang breaking her thoughts

She mentally groaned looking at the caller id , she excused herself from there saying she have to attend the call

Whereas in the dressing room, they were so confused and worried for her

"What's up with her? Isn't she is too emotional today? " Rishu asked

"Yeah I mean usually she easily gets it when are we serious and when we are just pranking, then what happened
today? " Ishan said

Shub was sitting in the corner mentally punching all of them for worsening her situation
He so wanted to talk to her from morning, but he didn't got even one chance everyone kept her so busy , even now when he wanted to go and comfort her virat said he will handle her , he was just getting too restless for her

After a while they all left for the hotel
