Anushka's POV

"I love you."

"I love you too, bubba." He said, as he read his book. "Why don't you go to sleep, you have an early day tomorrow."

"Okay." I gave him a kiss and layed down on my side of the bed, wondering how lucky I was.

"Goodnight, Vee."

"Goodnight, Nushki."

"So, what do you want?" Virat looked at me before seeing the menu.

"Uh, tomato soup." I told him, not bothering to look at the menu. Should I talk to him about this?

"That's it?" He looked at me but didn't really look at me, if you get what I was saying. It's like he was emotionally detached.

"Okay, whatever you want."

"Bas, only carrot juice?" He looked at me up and down. "Atleast eat something more! You're stick thin!"

"Mmhmm." I muttered, not paying heed to his words. "Bas, aise khilate khilate you'll make me fatter and then I won't be able to act."

"Aare, what nonsense!"

He was quiet. He didn't want to talk to me, busy in his phone.

"Who's Pihu?" I asked, making him stop looking at his phone and look up at me, with disbelief.

"She's the girl you met in my apartment." He hummed, looking at me. "Why do you ask?"

"Who is Pihu to you, Virat?"

Virat's POV

"Who is Pihu to you, Virat?"

"Vee!" Pihu ran towards me. "Look, I've found this small bird!"

She pulled me to the bird which was lying on the bench. We were jogging in the park, too early for anyone else to be jogging here.

"What if it's dead?" I whispered.

"Aw, no." She pouted. "We have to give it a proper burial."

She sent me back to my house to get a shoe box, since my house was closer. We named the bird Jack and kept him inside the shoe box and buried it in my backyard.

"She's a friend."

"Virat, don't lie to me."

"Get up na!" She poked me in the cheek, making me moan in pain.

"What? It's bloody eight!" I said, after checking my phone.

"You promised me that we would go to the zoo, remember?" She pouted. "We should leave like now to get early to the zoo."

"Come here." She crawled closer to me and once she was close enough, I pulled her towards me, her face smushed to my shirtless chest.

"Vee, no." She groaned. "I'll fall sleep with how warm you are." But she still muzzled her face on my chest.

Ha, it was too early for even her to function.

"We'll get to the zoo. Now, it's too bloody early for anyone to wake up." I murmured, smelling her shampoo. Looks like she got up pretty early.

"Okay." She said sleepily, tracing my 'Scorpio' tattoo after she had got herself into a more comfortable position.

"She's more than a friend." I muttered.

"How much more?" Anushka asked, tears slowly coming to her eyes.

"I don't know."

"Virat Prem Kohli!" She shouted, as I continued to dash her bumper car. "Let me drive!"

"You're such a bad driver." I smiled, watching her pout. Sometimes, oh wait, all the time I just wanted to take the pout away from her face by kissing her.

Wait, why would I want to kiss her?

"I drive okay enough." She grumbled as she tried to drive around the place, to avoid getting hit by me.

Just then, she drove into the spot which had the maximum amount of sunlight.

He hair was blowing away from her face, making her skin glow up as she giggled. Her eyes crinkled, making the blue of them stand out even more. And her lips were pulled into an open smile, making me fall for her even more.

"I fell for her." I muttered, looking at Anushka.

"You should unblock her number." She said and then continued on when she saw my confused face. "I looked at your phone yesterday and I blocked her number."

I hurriedly unblocked her number and saw her messages pour in one by one. But the last message was what caught my mind.

Pihu😊

I guess, this is goodbye then. I love you❤
Even though you might never see this.

It was 10pm now.

"I've got to go, I'm sorry." I got up from the table and quickly put some money on the table to pay for the food. I hurriedly ran out and immediately took a cab to her place.

Please, please be there.

Just so you don't get confused, the Italics are flashbacks :)
Except the last italic, that's a thought💛
