The Break up Phase is Over?

Early Sep 2022

Shub had just gotten back from a family trip and he had somehow managed not to discuss anything related to his relationship status on the trip. The only clarity he gave everyone was about the SAK news being completely false. He didn't think there was anything else needed to be discussed.

About the fake news making rounds, Shub had called his team for the due meeting. It needed to be discussed and managed. He started, "How are these stupid news turning eyeballs everywhere ?"

Shub's Team: "We don't know, we had no idea, we clearly wanted not to have any of these rumors making rounds. According to our plan, you have to be single for few more years till you actually find someone."

Shub: "What do you mean by I have to be single? And what exactly was your plan?"

Team: "It will be good for your growth Shub."

Shub: "What crap is that ? How is it going to matter if I am single or not ? Don't you think it's too personal and private for me to decide."

Team: "Indeed it is, but your female fans are currently drooling over you, we cannot risk any of these dating news"

Shub: "I don't understand, have you seen Virat bhai ? His female fans have always been all gaga over him and all he can see is Anushka Bhabhi. What do you guys mean by all this? Guys, I am a sportsperson and not a bollywood hero. My life needs to be simple and private."

Team: "Shub, isn't this the reason why you broke up with Sara T?"

Shub: "What? Have you lost it. We haven't broken up! It's..... I don't know what it is, it is complicated but it is not a breakup!"

Team: "We thought you guys had called it off. Actually we thought you had called it off after the Sid's news. She had called few months back, in fact she had called multiple times, but we thought you didn't wish to take her calls and hence had given us your SIM to manage, so we asked her not to call."

Shub: "WHAATTTTTTTTT ? Are you Guys kidding me ? She had called and you told her this??????????"

Team: "We assumed you wanted to get over her, you never told us anything."

Shub: "Hey Bhagwaan! Maaar do mujhe sab mil ke. Yahan main daily marr raha hoon soch soch ke that she didn't bother to call me or text me. Aur yahan alag hi scene chal raha hai. Kaise namooooone paaaaal rakhe hain maine."

Team: "But then why didn't you tell us."
Shub: "You guys never asked!!!!"
Team: "Ab kya ?"

Shub: "Pehle toh get this fake news down! Maar dalegi vo mujhe agar padh liya usne, padh hi liya hoga shayad ab Tak"

Team: "Shub, it doesn't work like that. There are many media portals and almost all of them have covered it. We cannot do anything. It cannot be taken down unless you or SAK come publically and talk about it."
Shub: "Kya bakwas baat hai ye."
Team: "Exactly why Sara couldn't take the FAKE news of her and Sid down."
Shub: "Ugfffffffff!!"

Shub had NO idea how to reach out to Sara now. He didn't wish to take any advice from any of his friends too, unlike last time. He wanted to do it all by himeself. Sometimes the distance make you realise what togetherness cannot. In the last 10 months, Shub had missed Sara everyday. It's not like he hadn't tried looking beyond her. He was surrounded by all the female attention possible, he even tried going out on dates a couple of times, but then it just wouldn't feel right. His heart seemed to be not in place at all. Emotionally he wasn't able to open up with anyone like he did with Sara. It was bothersome. Exactly why he had decided to concentrate on his game only!

Sara was getting a video call on her phone. She ignored it. It rang again, she ignored it again, she was working on her project but when it rang for the 3rd time, she decided to check who was it. It was a group video call from Shahneel, KP, Subeer and Ishan. Not sure what she exactly felt at that moment, but she decided to pick it.
