Love in an insane year-2020

Chapter4

the guy was standing with his back faced to me talking, or more like arguing with someone on the call. he then turned , he was the same tall guy i bumped into in Bangalore. he was very much invested in the call to notice me. but i don't know why i was noticing him alot. He had a south indian accent, tall, pretty good looking, maintained beard, those enchanting eyes, while he was talking on the call, he seemed annoyed with the person, causing him to scrunching his nose, which also made him look soo cute!! i giggled looking at it. and he heard it. he suddenly started looking for where the sound came from. and i don't know why i hid myself behind the pillar

the guy: who's there? *he called out a few times and again started talking on the phone* ya i don't want to talk right now, i'm tired, bye.*he hung up the phone and went inside a hotel room which i supposed was his.*

I was still behind the pillar, as i saw him going to his room, i also decided to go into mine. But i was confused and irritated with my self because i have never ever noticed so many things of a stranger. i mean i don't know who he is, i don't know his name, i literally know nothing about him, then why was i behaving this way, why did i hid myself when he heard me. i could have just stood there, obviously i wasn't doing a crime, but still why??

its not like i have never had crushes, obviously i did and i have also had boyfriends in past, Which also made me understand that casual dating is not my thing i used to trust people very quickly which now definitely has change. but coming to the point, i have never noticed anyone this much as i did about this stranger. who are you Mr. Stranger ??

i was thinking about all this when i got a notification on my laptop, it was related to the video that i had to edit. which made me come out of my dreams as i told myself " you are here to work, this is a huge opportunity, this is what you always dreamed of, you can't mess it up just because you have a stupid feeling about a guy, definitely not messing everything over a guy." i have always been tough on myself when it comes to my work, its just how I'm wired.

i change into my pjs and sat on the bed editing next day's video for an hour, and i don't know when i went to sleep. 

Next day

I woke up at 6:45 cuz i did not have a lecture today. 8:30 the team was leaving for ipl 2020 first practice session. I got out of bed, showered got ready wearing a RCB V neck tshirt and black denim shorts. i had ordered my breakfast before hand so that i don't waste my time waiting for it. while eating i also was doing last few changes in the video that had to be uploaded today at 10:00. i finished the edit and also my breakfast at about 7:30 i sent the video to the team, as they would upload it later. As i had time i just made my bed, and tidied my room. and called mumma Baba. had a quick chat with Abhi about how we miss annoying each other, just best friend things. About half an hour later i took my backpack which had my camera equipment and other things that i would need for the team, wore my mask because even though we are in bio bubble precaution is always better than cure and also the GPS thing that everyone had to wear which would notify if a member is going out of the bio bubble, locked my room and when to the lobby. i checked the time on my phone i still had time so i decided just to look around the garden area just near the lobby area, i also order a coffee on the go. I sat on a bench in the garden soaking in the morning sun, scrolling through social media.  After 10 mins or so the bus came and also everyone started to arrive Virat also wished me good morning which i would never in my life would have though that i would meet someone so great player as him. i wished him back . After everyone settled down the bus moved, and we left for the stadium. For most of the day i was filming Virat's net practice and helped setup a few Go pros on helmets of few players. 

Days were going pretty fast and i had fixed schedule for weeks which drained all the energy of me. and there where no thoughts other than my college, family and work. and when i would get time i would go and hangout with Anushka if she would be free. through these weeks i was in talking terms with a lot of guys due to interviewing them for videos and stuff. once during lunch break when everyone was sitting together to have their lunch, i was literally interrogated by AB and Virat about what i m studying, what i want to be , where do i see my self in next few years etc etc like brothers who want to know everything going in your life. but it just made me feel like these guys are actually family now and i can share  thing with them.  they are amazing. i was also very much friends with few younger guys that were either my age or closer. like net bowlers Shubhang Hegde, Prayas ray etc. But not that tall guy, i didn't speak to him nor did he approach me. but i did get to know his name was Devdutt Padikkal because he always used to be with either Virat bhai or AB. i saw him bat, he was undoubtedly very talented. he looked like a curious kid when he used to talk to Virat bhai about the game which always unknowingly brought a smile on my face.

Weeks went by and this week was a very important one as ipl was to starts on Sunday the week went with rigors training, practice matches, net practice,etc. today was Friday and it was a rest day for me because i was exhausted so i just asked the management if i could have a 1 day to myself and they granted my wish. so today i also did not attend college lectures too because i decided to sleep in today. woke up around 11:00, freshened up again changing into pj shorts and t shirt .. ordered some pizza.. and i put "hera pheri" on tv screen. whole day was a lazy day watching classic bollywood cult movies, did a video chat with my friends back home, had a long chat with mom and dad on call. after having dinner i decided i would just go on a late night walk in the garden or beach. i took my  headphones with me. i was grooving to the music, and i couldn't hear anything. Music and late night walks are the best. I sat near the pool it was so peaceful. after my walk as i was returning to my room. i was still in my thoughts with music playing in my hear. i wasn't paying attention on my surrounding and i suddenly dashed into someone and that brought me out of my bubble when i noticed what just happened and my eyes widened as i saw the person who i dashed into had milkshake all on their shirt and before i could apologize the person screamed," What the hell!!, are you blind??"
