Clicks and flashes of camera were blinding Shubhmans's eyes as he sat answering questions after quest in a press conference organised for G-Shock by Cassio.
He is answering all the questions but one can see that it must be so tiring for him.
Most of the questions were about brand, most about the Cricket. And he was happy to answer them, but what was not ethically right was questions related to rumours of his personal life and relationship.
Even if He would have wanted to shut people up, he just can't. He can't loose his control. He'll have to act all happy and smiling to answer those stupid questions as well.
That's when a hand was raised, he huffs and picks them to ask his question. And for a second His eyes went wide while a smirk was playing on reporter's face.
" Hi Shubhman, I am Y/N from QuickNews. I hope you are doing well" and that kinda made Shubhman Smile wide
" Yes, I am good. How have you been Y/N" this time there was a smirk on his face.
" I am also good. So my question to you is What kind of work are looking to do for G-Shock?" Y/N asked
" Hopefully inspiring. There are alot of youngsters who are looking at me, watching me. So all I want is to make sure I am putting a right impression and maybe that's what G-Shock also stands for." He replied with a big Smile.
And soon after that the press conference was over and all the journalists were asked to have lunch.

Y/N was coming out of the washroom when she heard it " How have you been Y/N?" And The voice made Y/N smile and turn around with a smirk
"I have been good Shubhman"
" When did you return from London?"
" You knew I was in London?"
" Of course I do. We have mutual friends" shubhman said taking two glasses of wine from the waiter
" And here i thought you wouldn't even recognise me. I mean it's been ten years since we last met"
"Right but, kuch logon ko aap bhul nahi sakte"
" Wow...toh cricket ke saath saath tum poet bhi ban gaye ho"
" Lol no. But I was just stating the truth. And you still haven't answered my question "
"I shifted back last year. It was time I get back to my home, to my people "
Shubhman was about to say something when he was called by his manager.
" Hello, yeah I'll be there in a minute "
Shubhman saod answering the call.
" I'll have to leave. But give me your no. We should catch up "
And after handing her card to Shubhman they both parted ways.

Y/ N was sitting sipping the coffee, engrossed writing an article, when her phone buzzed breaking her concentration.
" Heyya,
Let's catch up at 5 ? At Nayasas" it was a text from an unknown number.
Before she could even think of something, another text popped up
"It's Shubhaman but the way" and that made her shak smile her heaf with a smile. Y/N AND Shubhman were in same school. There was a time they were close to each other but then Y/N shifted to another city and Shubhman got busy with his cricket. Even tho they had mutual friends, they never got to meet each other untill now. Reminiscing the past she texted him back

" You haven't changed at all.
Instead of asking me, you're literally tell me. "

And within seconds another text came

"Main badal jaunga toh humari yaadain jhooti lagne lagengi"

" Wow.. who said I have harmari yaadain"

" Bol lo khud se jhooth"

" Lol"

" I'll be waiting for you "

" Phir wahi, what if I am busy?"

" I should be your priority Y/N.
I am the prince of the nation 😉"

" Go die"

" 10 saal se maar he Rahi ho tum mujhe"

" Why are you so dramatic? Fine, I'll be there"

With that I kept my phone aside and dived back into work.

It's been 05:15 and Shubhman is still not here. And Y/n is pissed because shouldn't she be the one getting late? She was about to text him when the cafe's door opened and entered the Prince"

" You're late"

"I am sorry, you know how bad this cities trafic is" he said hugging her

Soon they got back to talking. It's been long since they met and both of their lives have changed drastically.

" Man, you're a journalist. If you want you can leak so many things about me. "

" If I want. But the Shubhman I knew was a friend of Y/N not a topic for the Journalist Y/N"

" Not everyone thinks like you" Shubhman said with a smile but his eyes were telling another story that Y/N could read very easily

" It must be difficult to be in limelight all the time"

" It is. I often miss being just me. When we use to spend hours bunking classes, playing pranks on eachother " Shubham said making both of them miss good old days.

" I swear, life was too easy back then"

" I missed you" Shubhman said all of a sudden making Y/ N shock, there was something warm between them, the meeting felt like getting back under your blanket in chilly winter morning

" I missed you too. I use to see you and you have no idea how proud I am of you" She replied with a proud smile making Shubhman Show all his teeth

"Sidhe bol na, you regretted leaving this behind" He said moving his hand around his body making Y/n laugh hard.
And the evening continued with laughs, memories and stories for tomorrow.

Who knew meeting your past can be this beautiful?
