Aroohi's POV

" Okay, team Attention here! " I shouted and the team gathered.

" So until the next game is done, NO PHONE! " I Said emphasising on the word PHONE

" No, we won't use it in the practice hours. Please! No taking if phone " Manjot begged

" Look, the next game matters Alot. It decides if qualify or not. And I'm not taking any risks. Look at kamlesh, always with selfiie. Prithivi with songs and Abhishek with talks. I can't take any risks "I said pin pointing them

" Excuse me? What is you're problem?? " Abhishek asked

Of course, he has too

" well, I don't have time to answer that. I want all the phone right now" I spoke and all them handed except for Abhishek

" No, I need my phone. I need to talk to Maa everyday "He said not handing it to me

" Abhay, please. Everyone wants to but for the game please give it " I requested

" Who are you to decide? " Abhay puzzled with a smirk

Lord, take him!!

" Team manager, now give me the phone! " I said trying to snatched from him

Give me the damn phone!!

" Abhay please. Just give it " I huffed

He looked at me for a second and then shubman whispered something in his ear

" here, better take good care of it. I'll kill you if something happens to it" he spoke with anger and handed me the phone.

The guys dismissed and I kept the phones in my bag

Why is he so complicated?

. . .

The wind blew messing my hair up and water tingled my feet. I tied Mt hair in a bun.

I closed my eyes and thought about the good things. Today was surely a long day

" Hey, mind if I sit? "I heard a voice behind me

I turned around to find Shubman standing there.

" You dont gave to ask! You can " I said and he took a seat beside me

He dipped his legs in the pool

" oooooo, it's cold! "he squealed

I laughed at his baby voice.

" how have you been? I'm sorry, I don't get to talk to you nowadays " Shub apologized

" hey! That's okay. We all are busy in our lives. It's okay, and yes I'm fine. What about you? " I asked

" Nervous "he quickly replied

" Shubman, you know you had dreamt for this day right? Why are you nervous? You should be happy! You're completing your dream" I said trying to motivate him

" I know but I was 4 when I thought this, I'm 17 now. And it is just that this is my only chance "Shubman stated

" that is right! So grab it" I exclaimed

Shubman looked at me and then showed me his 440 volt smile

" you've still not changed. You're still the same. Crazy but motivating " Shubman replied

I giggled at his comment. We didn't change but someone else did. Abhishek

" don't you miss him? " Shubman asked
