The Cricketer and his fan

Part 7

Shreyas locker ki Taraf gaya. Divya stadium dekh rahi thi au soch rahi thi ki logo ke bina stadium khali khali lag raha tha...Divya ko sab yaad aa raha tha- 2011 mai Sachin aur Mahi kaise ghum rahe the, The Sachin Tendulkar stand, Sachin Sachin chants, Vande Mataram chants, etc.

Divya was taking a video of the stadium when Shreyas came back.

Divya to Shreyas: Can I take one photo of you. Just one?

Shreyas: Just one?? Kyu?

Divya: Wo meri best friend ne lane bola hai. Waise toh selfie bola tha but ek photo and autograph chahiye tha. If it is okay with you?

Shreyas: Selfie bola hai na usne..toh selfie hi niklenge. Ye lo tumari jersey no 47.

Divya: Thank you, thank you so much Shree.

Shreyas: Shree??

Divya: Oops sorry. Shreyas.

Shreyas: Koi na tume bula sakti ho Shree.

Divya ne jersey pahan li aur Shreyas ke pass jake khadi rahi.

Shreyas: so selfie le?

Divya: Yes, please.

Shreyas ne apna phone nikala but Divya asked him to take photos from her mobile as she doesn't know when she will get these photos. He took her phone only to see his photo as a home screen that to a photo from the u19 tour. Shreyas did not say anything and took 4-5 selfies.

And then he took his phone and took a few photos. Divya was looking at him. But he just shrugged it off and said pata nh mujhe kab photos milenge. The same way Divya said. When they realize both started laughing.

Divya requested him to take a few of her photos in the stadium, he took it perfectly. Divya asked him few questions about his experience with Wankhede, Indian cricket team, Delhi, Mumbai team, etc. It was 2.30 PM and they did not even realize they are here for more than 2 hrs. After some time they went to Abhishek's hotel for lunch. 

Shreyas was feeling so happy after talking to someone. He felt free after a long time, no pressure of being a cricketer. Don't get him wrong but everything has two sides.

While going to the hotel, they kept talking about random things. In the hotel, they ordered spaghetti, misal pav, dosa, and coffee. All were Shreyas's favorite but ordered by Divya. Again Shreyas was impressed with her. Divya told him about her friends, family, colleagues. How much she loves cricket, etc.

It was 4 PM, which means she has to leave after 1 hr. When they both realize this they suddenly went on mute mode. They did not know how to convey this. Shreyas wanted her to stay with him, he also did not know the reason for such feelings. Whereas Divya was thinking this might be the last time she is meeting him, her love. She wanted to cry thinking about her condition but could not do that.

They reach Shreyas's place. All were sad thinking Divya is going. Divya went to Shreyas's father.

Divya: Uncle, I am leaving. Thank you for inviting me. It's like a dream. Thank you.

And Divya hugs him.

Divya to Aunty: I am gonna miss your paratha aunty, bye.

Aunty: "Toh aa jana khane Kabhi bhe"...Divya looked at Shreyas but he was not looking at her at all.

Divya: Shresta, I had a wonderful time, thank you so much.

Shresta: I am gonna miss you too. Please give me your number. We will definitely meet soon.

Divya gave her number.

Sujit: Dhanyawad sir... Nagpur la aala ki msg kar... bhetu.

Sujit: Ho nakki, besan ladoo khayche ahe mala ajun.

Divya:  Bhukkad, ladoo sathi tu punyala aala tari chalel.

Divya to Abhishek: Thank you so much for this opportunity Abhishek. It was wonderful, keep doing such things. Divya hugged him and whispered in his ear saying Shreyas is lucky to have him as a friend. And take care of Shreyas for me.

Divya to Shreyas: Thank you for your precious time. I had a blast, will take a leave now.

Shreyas: I had a wonderful time too. Thanks.

Shresta to Divya: Wait Divya. One photo with all of us.

Divya: Sure. 

Sheshtra took a photo of all of us together. Shreyas has asked me to wait for 5 mins. He came back with a gifts and book with his autograph. Divya said no to gifts but took the book.

Divya to Shreyas:  Kya mai ye jersey rakh sakti hu?

Shreyas: Yeah why not !! Also, she asked for Abhishek, Shresta, Sujit, uncle, and aunty's to sign on her jersey. She started to go downstairs, where her cab was waiting for her. When she was about to seat in the car, she heard Shreyas's voice. 

Shreyas: You did not tell me, how you know all about me. I am really curious.

Divya:  Wo mai, aapki bahot badi fan hu so.

Shreyas: Fan to bahot hai but there jaisa koi nahi hai.Divya: Thank you Shreyas, this might be our first and last meeting. I just want to say, many people are following you as there idol, so don't b afraid. You are perfect ❤️.

Shreyas hugged her and she could not control her tears now. Shreyas was stunned to see someone crying for him, he also felt overwhelmed. He kept hugging her and assuring her. Kissed her on the forehead and asked to go home safely. Also, Shreyas asked her to message him once she reached home.
