Rajasthan v Delhi, Jaipur
Rajasthan won the match. Kuldeep Yadav who is playing for Delhi was upset as his team lost the match. Video of Rishab Pant smashing the bat in dressing room made him more frustrated. Rishab was back on field after recovering from injuries suffered from accident. Rishab was getting more and more frustrated when he was failing to score runs. Kuldeep knew that Rishab would score runs in upcoming matches and till then he has to remain some patient. Kuldeep understood both situation and Rishab's frustration but he was not able to help him.
Kuldeep was taking rest in his room when Yuzi deided to visit his friend from Indian team. Yuzi knocked the room. Kuldeep found energetic yuzi standing in front of his room keeping hands in his trouser's pocket.
"Akela hai ya aur koi bhi hai tere sath", asked Kuldeep.
Yuzi- "Aur kisi ko aana tha?"
Kuldeep- "Dhruv and Yashavi were saying about coming to room."
Yuzi- "oh! I see. You were waiting for them and not for me. When you three get this close?"
Kuldeep - "During recent series against England."
Yuzi-" I was busy at that time, practicing on my batting as Rohita bhaiya told me that I am going to open in his place."
Kuldeep- "If you are going to open the batting then I feel for others."
Yuzi- "Even I give tips to Sanju, Jos and Yashu."
Kuldeep- "I feel for them."
Yuzi- "You are acting mean. Leave it and get ready fast. We aare going out."
Kuldeep- "If you know, it is past 1 am."
Yuzi- "I know, that's why I decided to choose this time. At this time we can roam easily."
Kuldeep- "Where we are going?"
Yuzi- "It is surprise. Now go fast and change."
Kuldeep- "what if coach catches us sneaking out."
Yuzi- "Sanga sir is sleeping. I told about plan to Ash bhai, he will save me if I am caught by chance."
Kuldeep too dropped message to Axar about going out with Yuzi. He quickly changed his dress and went out with Yuzi. As per Yuzi's plan, a motor cycle was already there. Kuldeep was too excited for ride.
Kuldeep- "I am driving it."
Yuzi- "But I know where we have to go."
Kuldeep- "you will give me directions. Tu agar hawa mein.......To baki sabko kya jawab dunga."
In the fight of deciding who would ride the bike, Yuzi won as he know all the directions where they have to go. At first they went to restaurant to eat. Kuldeep saw time and realized that it was past their closing time.
Kuldeep- "How you managed it?"
Yuzi- I used my contacts.
Once they finished food, Kuldeep was back to sulking mood declaring that he is in no mood to go back to hotel.
What about long drive, asked yuzi.
Kuldeep loved the idea of long drive. They roam around the city with Kuldeep's talks and Yuzi's witty comments. After a long time they were out together without anyone else as third wheel. They were laughing out aloud talking random things and creating memories. Their next stoppage was a cliff near Nagargarh. It was Yuzi's favourite place in Jaipur. They sat there enjoying their friendship time.
Yuzi- I know you are worried for Rishu.
Kuldeep- he is getting frustrated because he is failing to score runs. I understand him but he need to be little bit patient there. IPL is a long tournament.
Yuzi- "It is easy to say than do. You too know this Kul. He face accident and took more than one year to make a come back. He wants to regain his touch.
Kuldeep- "I know. I am just saying that he need to be calm. He is excellant player. I am sure that he will score many more runs for Delhi and India."
Kuldeep turned his face towards Yuzi when he noticed sad eyes of Yuzi.
Kuldeep- "what happened to you?"
Yuzi- "I want to play."
Kuldeep- "who is stopping you?"
Yuzi- "You know everything."
Kuldeep-"trust me, you will be there. You deserve to be there."
Yuzi- "what if I am not there?"
Kuldeep- " tujhe to hum chupa kar bhi le chalenge".
Yuzi smiled for his friends concern.
Kuldeep- "you deserve to be there."
Yuzi realised that he can fool people with his funnt acts. But then he has few people in his life who can see past the facade. He is blessed to have such people in life.
