Virat's POV

What was I doing?

Well, that was easy to answer. I was in the gym, practising some pushups and generally working out for the do or die match against South Africa.

What was I doing with Pihu?

Didn't I love Anushka?

"Oye." Dhoni came up to the other treadmill and stood, looking at me.

"Ha?" I was shook out of my thoughts, slowly starting the treadmill.

"Kahan kho gaya hai, you were standing there for ten minutes." He laughed.

"Kuch nahi." I sighed, looking at him.

"Chal, okay." He started jogging.

"Actually, bhai." I stopped him. "Could I ask you something personal?"

"Ha, ha. Puch." He stopped jogging, standing there.

"When Priyanka wasn't there anymore, how - how did you get past that?"

There was silence.

"I couldn't." He said, dryly. "I still can't. Your first love will be there in your heart, forever. You will live on, knowing that you could've done something different. I could've not gone to Zimbabwe, you could've paid more attention to Anushka-" I looked up, surprised. "I know you, Virat. But the thing is, you can't change it anymore. You have two options now, whether you live on in her memory, making sure that she didn't die in vain or you die with her." He said, as tears filled his eyes but he managed to push them back. "I had no hope, that I could do all this. But I met Sakshi, she helped me become who I am and also healed me, in a way."

"I'm so sorry." I said, looking up. I felt bad for making him reminiscence on the past.

"Chal, it's okay. I get it why you asked." He said. "Just don't hurt Pihu, whatever you choose."

Champions Trophy
Match 4
India vs South Africa

Pihu's POV

"Didi, have you ever liked someone but couldn't tell them?" I asked Gayatri as the boys were on the field, doing warmups. I could see Virat stretching and chatting to Jasprit.

"You've fallen for him?" She asked me, surprised. "Haye, you know Aria was right, you won't survive. Shit, I owe her 200 bucks!"

"Dude, you were betting on me?" I asked. Honestly, I've got such an amazing sister. Sarcasm, if you didn't notice it.

"Forget that. Does he know?"

"I just told you! I don't want him to know!" I whisper screamed, hopefully it'll get through her head.

"Why not?" She curiously asked. "It's good, right? I mean if you're worrying about ICC-"

"No, Gayu." I sighed. "He's still in love with Anushka. He loves her, I'm so sure!"

"Ha, and you both are really good actors!" She laughed on the other end. "Listen, I love you but you're so oblivious. Pictures don't tell lies and honestly, you guys look at each other like how I look at pizza. With love."

I laughed. Honestly, she's amazing.

"Cheer up, baby. You'll be alright!" She cheered.

"Yea, okay." I looked in the direction of the grounds. "The match's starting, I've to go."

"Bye babes!"

"And India wins by eight wickets here at the Oval!" Warne says into the mic, grinning. "I really thought that South Africa would give them a battle for the semi final berth."

"Or maybe India were that good!" Atherton replies. "The brilliant bowling with two wickets each by Kumar and Bumrah - brilliant yorkers that man!"

"And a flawless batting led by Dhawan and the skipper!" Gould said, following Atherton. "And Yuvraj's cameo was brilliant and very much applauded for, at the very end."

"Did you enjoy my batting?" Virat comes over, all sweaty from the match and hugs me.

"I would enjoy it better, if you smelled better and overall looked free of sweat." I said, trying to free myself as he tried to hug me.

"Aare, come on. One hug, you've to congratulate the winning captain, na?" He snickered.

"No, thanks."

"Aw, what a mean person."

Sigh. I love this dork.

What?

Ola, ola💛

Well, nowadays I'm free af. Like I just eat and sleep, then repeat😂😂 [Practically what I did the entire year but mmkay]

I was so bored that I started a new book. I don't know what's wrong with me, I like writing books😂😂😂

So, then I began to wonder, who would feature in it?

Because of 66Neha6, I decided eh, why not do a Hardik Pandya book again.

So, yay!

The book entitled Sarang | Hardik Pandya will come out after this book and because I felt extra lazy, I decided to do something extra productive.

My first (and hopefully my last) attempt at making a trailer.

You're welcome.

P.S That was too productive for me, btw😂😂😂
