Against the odds

The growing distance

Numb. That was what Sara felt. It had been two days since that conversation and she still couldn't gather the courage to call Shubman. All she could think about was how stupid she was to ask him that question. To make him feel she was accusing him of something. She wanted to cry but the tears won't come out. She couldn't pay attention to anything happening around her.

Krisha looked at her and sighed. Why are these two such idiots was the only thing she could think of at that moment. She frowned, upon the possibility of her talking to Abhishek to help patch these two up.

"Aru?" She called out, but got no response. She called her three more times and at the end just hit her on the head

"Oww! Kya hua?" Sara asked still holding her head.

"Terko kya hua? You and Shubman had a fight?" Sara looked away and that pretty much answered the question.

"Call him you idiot"

"But what if he doesn't pick up?"

"How would you know if you don't call him? God!"

"He's upset at me"

"Yeah I'm sure he is, but seriously he will pick up. Call him once. Wait did he call you?"

"No" she said shaking her head slightly.

"Ughhh, remind me god why am I always stuck between these two idiots?" She exclaimed dramatically looking up at the sky.

Sara could just muster a tiny giggle and stop herself from crying.

Once they reached their room, Krisha went to meet one of her cousins, telling her to sort this mess before she comes back.

Sara sighed and opened her phone. A picture of her and Shubman from their secret date was the wallpaper. She smiled before calling him. Two rings, three rings, more rings and he didn't pick up. All the hope Sara had felt went down the drain.

"Why did I think he would pick up anyway? I'm such an idiot gosh" She exclaimed to herself before putting her head in her hands and sobbing silently.

Krisha came back an hour later to see Sara sleeping. She looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"They're didn't patch up? If they would have she would have been talking to him or jumping around in happiness. Ughhh don't tell me I need to talk to that idiot"
She groaned before going out and calling Abhishek.

On call

"ohhh look who called? It's ms psycho" Abhay's smug voice echoed, making her roll her eyes

"I don't have any interest in talking to you but there's a problem with these love birds or maybe not love birds anymore?"

"Shub and Sara? Ab kya siyappa kiya shubi ne?" Abhay asked sure of the fact that it was his friend's fault.

"I don't know but I think it's that photo with Sara"

"Hainn? Sara ke saath photo hai to problem kya hai?"

"Are not this Sara, the actor Sara Ali Khan"

"Ohh acha wo photo?"

"Ha wo photo. You know anything about it?"

"Ha Shubman told me they were the ambassadors and so they had a meeting regarding something. But wait how's that a problem?"

"I think Sara asked him how he was friends with her or probably why. And he thought she's accusing him and now these two idiots are not talking to each other."

"Abe yaar, dono pagal hai by god. I'll talk to Ishan don't worry "

"Yeah thanks Abhay "

"Wowww, you can thank people? That's new "

"Shut up! Bye" Abhay laughed before she cut the call and she couldn't help feel annoyed at him yet again

Shubman on the other hand was trying to distract himself from all this mess in his life. He was currently in an arade and it didn't help. He kept getting reminded about Sara and that frustrated him. He wondered why Sara hadn't call him after that. He reached his pocket to take his phone but realised he left it at the hotel. He cursed his luck and played a bit at the arcade.

Ishan was frustrated, that idiot has gone somewhere without taking his phone and didn't bother informing him. The frustration only increased when abhay called and told him about his and Sara's fight. Now everything made sense to him. He understood his weird behaviour since the past two days and why he just went somewhere without bothering to inform anyone from the team.

As much as he loved Shubman and sara, these two gave him a total headache. They keep doing stupid things that would hurt each other and not communicate properly. He sometimes wondered how he ended up with these bunch of stupid, idiotic and immature bunch of people. Excluding Aditi that is.
