SHE WAS NEVER MINE

19.

Anushka's POV:~

It has been two days since the accident, and nothing is getting better. Ritsy spends hours and hours crying, Avi on the hand trying to escape the reality as much as he can, I have not talked to him since that day but Ro said, he spends very less time around them, as much as I know him, he is running away because the slightest light of hope is disappearing.

Doctors are suggesting that Aunty's vantilator should be removed as there is no hope of survival, uncle needs to go under surgery but there are very few chances that he will survive the operation, and we are still finding it hard to tell Ritsy about the situation, she is barely eating something and telling her that her parents can't survive longer will break her, I'm glad that Rohit is there with her, otherwise It would be hard for her, Rohit being with her give me sense of relief that she is safe and she is being taken care of.

"Sharma ready?" Virat asked, I slightly nodded to him. He took our language as we handed our room's key to the hotel staff, we are at Vizag for our last match against Australia, we have a flight right after the match to Jaipur for the upcoming T20 series against the same team.

"Here" Virat passed me, a veg roll wrapped in tissue, I gave him a faint smile.

"I'm not hungry" I declined, as we walked in hallway.

"You haven't eaten breakfast properly Sharma." He took my hand in his and put the roll in my hand, "I can't let this hardworking girl skipping her meals again and again." I ate the veg roll while working on the bus as we headed to stadium for match.

His words always find a way to make me smile, if not Virat, I don't think anyone would have understood my situation, it's not like I want to be in the situation but I can't leave them, that family is my entire childhood and youth, I can't leave my best friend when her parents are fighting against death, and at the same time I can't unseen Avi, when you have deep relationship with entire family you can't unsee one person not matter how much you try, and to abandone someone at this time is the cruelty.

Virat has always understand what's going on, he gets my point without me having to say them, but my heart is aching from the fact he has to suffer like this because of me, seeing Avi isn't easy for him as well, but he remains calm, and I feel like he remains calm just because I don't suffer in this tangled situation, he deserves so much more than I have to offer, and if I could, I would have scream to world that how amazing man he is.

Despite the aggression he showed on the field, there is a heart of gold which he hid really well beneath his tough exterior.

"Everyone thinks that a guy with tattoos and aggression can't survive in cricket" He smirked, I can see the sarcasm in his eyes, he was looking at a media report on my laptop screen.

"That's not true, cricket required skills and passion which you carry very well Virat." I endorse.

"The World don't see me with your eyes Anushka." He sighed.

"I wish the world could see you with my eyes, but I would like to think less about the world and more about you are amazing in every thing you do Virat, not only cricket you are a great human inside out. And I'm proud of you" I squeezed his hands firmly.

"Our world is not that big Virat, it only reside with people who loves us, that's all what matters what they think about us, and if you believe you surely gonna rule the world of cricket" Mahi Bhai said, we were sitting on back seat with him.

"And Aggression doesn't suit anyone like it suits you Virat." I smiled with assurance, He nodded at my words.
He doesn't know it yet but he will be big thing cricket.

"Anushka!" I heard Hardik from front seat.

"What is it?" I asked, peering at him from behind of my laptop.
