At the playground, Sid was sitting alone on a bench and watching Kabir talking with his friends. Their cricket match was over and now he wanted to go home as soon as possible but couldn't as Kabir was so engrossed in chatting. Being introvert in nature, he never liked unnecessary talks with anyone except his close friends. People may call him boring but this is how he is.

Sid was about to call Kabir and give him hurry when a guy came there calling Sid's name.

"Sid... Bro... I have come..." Randeep stopped near him and asked panting, "Match suru toh nahi hua na?"

Sid gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Nahi. Suru ho ke khatam bhi ho gaya."

"Yaar!" Randeep made a sad pout and sat on the bench, beside Sid.

"Sunday ko itni subah subah nahi utha jaata. Aise time mein match rakhne se pehle thoda toh sochna chahiye na inn Gadhon ko. Saara mood hi kharab ho gaya."

"Lazy lad!"

"Look who's talking."

Randeep rolled his eyes to which Sid chuckled. Then he again looked towards Kabir.

"Kabir!" Said Sid loudly while getting up and Kabir came to him.

He noticed Randeep and said, "Arrey tu ab aaya? Itna accha match tune miss kar diya. Agle match mein time se aa jaana bro warna team se hi nikal denge."

"I'll try my best. Bas match ki timing sahi ho." Replied Randeep sighing.

"Agle match ka baad mein dekhenge. Abhi wapas chal yaar, match kab ka khatam ho gaya. Breakfast nahi karna kya?" Asked Sid.

"Main woh hi baatane wala tha. Friends ke saath suddenly plan ban gaya hai. Aaj pura din unhi ke ghar rahunga. Tu please ghar mein koi bahana de dena."

Sid widened his eyes hearing that and said, "Yaar kyu phasa raha hai? Kaunsa bahana du ab? Mat karna Kabir."

"Koi bhi de de. Teri baaton pe sab yakeen kar lenge."

"Par tere assignment ka kya? Kaal school mein submit karna hai."

"I know you will take care of that. By Bro. Love you."

"Arrey par..."

Before Sid could say anything, Kabir left from there with his friends. Sid sighed and Randeep nodded his head in disbelief.

"Tu na Kabir ko kuch zyada hi sir pe chadha ke rakhta hai. Uski problems hai, usse hi face karne de na." Said Randeep while returning home with Sid.

Giving a slight smile, Sid said, "Bhai hai mera. Main uski baaton ko taal nahi sakta. Aur upar se usko daant padegi toh mujhe hi bura lagega."

"Tu bigad raha hai usse."

"Zaldi sudhar bhi jaayega... Jab thodi akal aayegi."

Both Sid and Randeep laughed at this.
