Y/N's POV

" What are we gonna do after we get married?" I asked clutching to Abhay's arm

" I don't know about you but I'm gonna make everything better" He smiled kissing my forehead

" Are you sure about the retirement?" I questioned

" Look , unless and until I'm breathing. I'll be an Indian serving the country. I'm 34 and I think this is the perfect time to retire. I have achieved at lot from cricket for 20 years now. There is no perfect time than this " He answered looking into my eyes

" You still have 2 more years to play " I stated

" But I want to be here , with you. With her" Abhay giggled keeping his hand on my stomach

" I'm always around.." I trailed

" But I want to be there with you in every phase of this stage !" He exclaimed

" Thank you so much, Abhishek " I kissed his cheek

" I can't believe it's already been 20 years of me playing cricket!" Abhay laughed

" Time flies " I said

" Yeah, surely it does. I have my own family now!" He spoke excited

" Why are you playing tommorow as your last match? Why don't you complete the tour ?" I puzzled

" Because that's the day I took the bat in my hand for the first time walking on the Field playing my first original match " he stated

" You want to end it where it started ?" I asked

" Yes, I'm not ending it. I'm enclosing it. I may open it some day " he smiled

" Abhay, play until the world cup. Its next year!" I exclaimed.

" I already said. Its time!" He said

" You know you can easily make it. Why to let this chance go?" I puzzled

" Because, now it's time for me to devote time to my family " he held my hand

" In nearly 5 months. I'm going to be blessed with an angel. I don't want to miss out on a single thing. I want to be there for her to see her grow up. See her taking her first step, see her saying Papa. See her growing up!" He stated

" Abhishek.." I started crying

" Shhhhh, it's okay. I'm here with you and we'll make this our best time. I know, I've always not been around but I promise I'll be there with you in future " he kissed my forehead

The next day, after abhay's last match

The whole crowd stood applauding for Abhishek and his contribution to the Indian team.

Shubman and Manjot were on the verge of crying. I could feel moist tears in my eyes too.

Hardik Bhaiya was standing besides me soothing me down. Everyone was just so emotional.

Abhay completed his final round of honour and walked towards me. Which was end of the field.

He bowed down touching his head to the ground. And removed his Cap. He stepped out and embraced me into a hug.

The flashes went on as Abhay wipped the unknowing tears which streamed down. Hardik bhaiya hugged him too.

Abhishek Sharma glanced one last time to the ground and finally bid adieu it.

And just like that,

Abhishek Sharma left the Cricketing world leaving Indian team with a bunch of trophies.

With a blink of eye, everything went by. He engraved his name on the Indian Cricket Hall of Fame , leaving a remarkable contribution to India In 2 consecutive World cups.

Abhishek Sharma
A name which will
Always make me and Indians
feel proud !
