36. Veracity

Shubman's pov:

Today, I was happy about winning the match and scoring a century, but in the elevator when Aashna almost collapsed, it pushed my heart into my throat, scared me to shit seeing her like that, something happening to her always scared me.

She said it was because of the heat....but it made me suspicious because Dubai is not even that hot right now....but again, it could be her iron deficiency as well.

It just concerns me that she's so weak and deficient, and she doesn't even take that shit seriously, skipping meals everyday.

Right now, I'm wearing my gears for the second match that is India vs Pakistan.

I have to say that I'm quite excited for this match. Aashna, Shahneel, my mom and dad are also here, including my friends too.

But I'm only excited for her to watch me play, she knows how badly I want to win this match. And also this is the first tournament that she's watching in real.

I got out to bat along with Shreyas Bhai and the first thing I did was glance up at the stands to steal a glance at her.

My matches go well when I start them with looking at her.

We made eye contact for a second making her smile and I smirked up at her.

She's wearing a light blue coloured short jumpsuit.

I blew up a kiss and she caught it smoothly.

Then I focused on my match.

(After the match)

We sat on a round table with Virat bhai, Anushka bhabhi, kids and Ishan.

It's just that I have familiar terms with them so I prefer their company.

"I leaned back in my chair and relaxed...ODIs are tiring.

Aashna is sitting beside me answering some question of Anushka bhabhi about the wedding.

"Arey Bhabhi abhi actually yeh busy he toh after the World Cup is over, we'll plan everything, karne ko toh me bhi kar sakti hu but participation is important yk?" She said.

I may not say it but I feel a bit guilty for making her wait because of my tight schedule, we should've been married by now....

We finish our dinner and I got up from my seat, waiting for Aashna to get her bag and get up.

But as she did, she seemed to lose her balance and held the back of the chair for support.

I held her hand in worry and she regained her consciousness within a second.

"Aashna what's wrong?" I said holding her hand, she looked up at me.

"What? Doesn't this happen often? Iron deficiency yk? Head rush!" She said looking away and pulled her hands out of mine to start walking towards the elevator area.

Her eyes were not telling the truth, the way she looked away, I know she was hiding something, but what?

"What just happened?" Ishan asked me.

"This is the second time since yesterday." I said.

"She should probably get checked." He said and moved forward.

"Is she okay?" Anushka bhabhi asked me.

"I don't know?" I said.

"I keep telling her to eat healthy but she doesn't listen to me. Can you make her understand Bhabhi?" I asked her.
