We Too Had A Love Story

After six weeks

6 weeks later.....

SANJANA KUMAR

I came back to my apartment and bumped onto the couch straight away.I just ran today more than the usual routine.I formed this habit of going for a run early in the morning each day.The sun was out.It was mid-March and Delhi starts getting hot by then.The past one and a half one month was not much eventful. I went back to my home town for a week and when I came back,I shot some documentaries.The first few days were hard, I was sorrounded constantly by so many people but things started getting normal back again.I was happy the way everything was going.My life was coming back on track slowly.I went to my room and started searching for something to wear.I was looking and found a hoodie which was not mine.It was of Virat.I held it and sat on the bed reminiscing what all we had.The words he said to me played like a song in my head,it was monotonous.There was not a single sunrise or sunset when I didn't wanted to see his face.Neither did I heard a word from him and nor did I tried to contact him.I had his poster removed from my room and cabin.I thought I was getting over him.He was back from New Zealand,the team landed just two days ago.They won the ODI series and the test series got drawn.It was a good tour and Virat batted brilliantly as well.I was happy for him that he was doing so well.The clock struck 8 and I left for my office.

I reached there and settled my things in the cabin.

'Got a minute?' My boss said standing at the threshold.

'Sure' I said and went with him to his office.

'Yes,sir?' I asked.

'We have an interview on our hands for you' He said.

I was really happy. It had been a month since I've interviewed a cricketer.I was so excited.

'Really? I'm so glad' I said.

'Yeah and it's today at 11:30' He told me.

'That's great,who is coming?' I asked.

He was a but hesistant in telling me and gave me a look.

'Is....it Virat?' I asked.

'Yes' He replied.

There was no way I could interview him,no way I could face him.

'Listen if you don't want to do it,we can tell someone else' He added.

'No,sir.I will take his interview today by itself' I said.

'Are you sure?' He asked.

'Yea' I replied and went back to my cabin.

My heart pumping by the thought that I'll see him after so long and talk to him.I didn't have that much courage.I said 'yes' to boss just because I wanted to show that Virat does not affect me.I took a deep breathe.

'You're gonna be alright' I said to myself.

The interview was not in the office.It was at some cafe.I sat on the chair thinking what would it be to see him all over again.

VIRAT KOHLI

I took my car and left for the place where the interview was to take place.I had my shades on.My heart skipped a beat when my manager told me that the interview was for Headlines Today.What if Sanjana came to take it? How would I face here? What will I do? Every kind of thought crossed my mind.In the past 6 weeks I've not heard a word from her.Maybe she has moved on with her life. I was quite happy after the New Zealand tour but this happiness was incomplete without her.Only I know how badly I waited for her call or her message after I scored all those centuries.I just saw her on the news, I got happy in the fact that she took my name there with a smile.She was over me but I still was stuck there when the first time I saw her,hugged her,kissed her.
I reached the cafe.There was a guy sitting on the table who stood up and came towards me,' Good Morning Sir' He said.
