After our call I just lay down on the bed. I hear her the doorbell, so I go and open the door. I see her parents outside; how did I know I saw their pictures.
"Door thiyadaniki entha sepu?" (How long to open the door) her mum said.
{Adhi doesn't know Telugu; the translation is for the you guys to understand}
Huh? What did she just say? What language is this? I just stare at her confused and not understanding a thing. "Enti choosthunavu, veli panichoosko" (What are you looking at? go do your work) Oh! this is Telugu, Fuck I should have learned it at least a little whenever we used to go there. I went back to her room. I was looking at her things, cute stuff!"Sameera!" I heard her mother calling. Ugh Sam, why did are you Telugu! I went and sat on the sofa. "Big screen lo match veesthunaru, veldhama?" (they are putting the match on big screen today, shall we go?) her dad asked me. I tried to gather the pieces, I guess he asked me if we can go and see the match on big screen. Wait a min! what match is there today? "Sameera?" I come back to reality when he calls her name again. Ayio Ayio what will I say now? IDEA! I stuff that dosa I have been staring at and just shake my head. "Ah Genius!" my consy rolls his eyes at me. With that he just went away.
I just keep thinking about what her dad said. What match do we have today? And that's when I see the phone and I rush to pick it up and see the date. Holly Molly What the hell?? How is this possible? I saw the number of missed calls from my phone and immediately call her. I do a video call so I can see how she is doing, as soon as she attends the call.
"Where the hell were you, Adhithya?" I heard her shouting from that side and with tears formed. "Did you see the date?" I asked her fully concerned. "Yes Adhithya! I don't know what to do?"
"Sam! It's okay we'll find a way to do this" she doesn't even look at me when I speak, she just shakes her head. "No Adhithya! This can't be happening. We will not win!""Sam! I trust you! We will work on it okay? You still have an hour right?" She looks at me and nods her heard, waits for few seconds and then shakes her head again.
"Adithya Krishnamoorthi! You are asking me to play THE WORLD CUP instead of you."
"No Sameera Reddy! You are going to play THE WORLD CUP in the amazing Adithya Krishnamoorthi's body!" She looks at me with an are you serious look."Look I know this is all confusing and scary, but we have no choice. Will you please do this for me!" she looks at me with a concerned look. "Sam! I saw the pictures of cricketers, you love cricket, don't you?" She nods silently. "I want you to play for the country, for the team! not even for me. Just give your best. I will teach you all the tricks and everything you need to know, okay?" She takes a deep breath and nods.
The next 30mins we spend talking about the tricks and I teach her stuff about cricket. She still looks unsure and scared. "Sam it's okay! Do your best, we already know the result!" I say the last part looking down, remembering what happened.
"Adhithya! I will do my best!" She nods understanding my tone. I look at her and ask, "And Sam you had to be!" She looks at me confused not understanding. "You had to be Telugu! I can't understand a thing your parents say!" as I rant out, she laughs. "Good now go and play with this face, don't be scared! they can sense your fear." she looks at me and smiles. "See I have a beautiful smile, so use it as much as possible! All the very best Sam!"
"Adhithya, I have exams in 2 days, we don't know how long this will last so can you sit and study for some time before the match." I look at her disinterested "You are asking me to study?"
"Yes, I'm a second year Civil Engineering student, you see a red book on the table right! That has my whole schedule, can you please follow and study. Atleast a little, I don't want to fail my exams. I beg you please Adhithya!" she looks at me with eyes full of hope. "Ugh! fine with one condition!" She nods and says "anything!" I look at her and say with a very serious expression "You! You have to...... call me Adhi! Stop calling my full name." She just giggle and shakes her head. "Yes Adhi! All the best for the studying session."
With that we cut the call and I look at the red book...Okay let's do this for her!
