Beyond The Boundary - A ShubSara Fanfiction

The Canon Event

*****

I stood there without moving. Sara Tendulkar was standing in front of me looking all pretty and radiant. I had seen her on tv but this was the first time I was actually seeing her.

Damn, she's beautiful.

I swallowed a dry throat, unable to say anything.

Kuch bol mere bhai. Kitni der use dekhta rahega.
Kya bolu??
Chup hi rehta hu. Woh bhi sirf dekh rahi hai..kuch bol hi nhi rahi.

"Hey Shubman," someone's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked to my right, Arjun stood there.
He put a hand on my shoulder and said, "Sara, this is Shubman Gill. He plays for the Punjab team. And Shub, this is Sara, my sister"

Sara eyed me for a moment before extending her hand and said, "Nice to meet you Shubman." I shook her hand, nodding and smiling a bit. I wanted to say hello but for some weird reason, I lost my voice. It's like I forgot all words. Sara kept looking, expecting for me to say something. I saw her swallow hard but she said nothing.

Woh soch rahi hogi kya ladka hai, kuch bolta bhi nhi.

I withdrew my hand and looked away. I saw her friends were standing talking with each other. They looked in my direction and gave a small smile.

"What was going on here?" Sara asked after a few seconds.

"Oh we were playing a game. Unfortunately, I lost and now I'll have to dance." Arjun replied.

Sara's sudden arrival made me forget about the challenge. I turned to Arjun and said, "you better not try to sneak away AT"

"Yeah yeah I know," Arjun said weakly. And then there was silence once again. The awkwardness between me and Sara was getting unbearable. I decided to get away from here. I excused myself saying that I have a call to attend and left the gaming zone.
