As time rolls around, 2 people who might have always admired each other, find out the underlying thought of each other.
It took a long time ,and what is it worth at the end?
As if. For now , and forever I just wanna play cricket. Or perhaps if anything person then I wanna make my own family. WITH HARDIK. OH GOD HOW AM GONNA EXPLAIN THIS TO HARDIK!!!
I am panicking. All of a sudden.
Ishan's father gave him another nudge. "Umm... Uncle asa toh kuch socha nhi aab tak maine. Abhi k liye toh my priority is my cricket. That's all" i said
"What about settling down having a family? After all we're all gathered here to work on that." Uncle asked
I knew it. I swear to god, my mom will have to live through my wrath when we get home.
'Crying inside'
"Ummm.... I -i didn't know uncle that you guys have planning around that" I said honestly
"Yet we're here now "Why don't you just get to know iccha a little." Ishan's father said
" Yes yes, iccha beta , what don't you should ishan your room?" Iccha' mother told her
"Ishan would you mind?" She asked me "No problem at all, chalo fir" I said only because I want it to be done as soon as possible.
Me denying this will only result in the elongation of this get-together.
So I followed iccha upstairs .
This was the only room uncle didn't barge to show us earlier. I thought it was only some spare room like many others that they have in this house.
As I enter her room I see posters. OF HARDIK.
DAMN!!! My man looking so cool in blue. Anyone who has eyes can tell that I was gawking at hardik's poster. Heart eyes .
"I won't deny I've known you well Ishan. I do watch cricket. I am a fan . But I don't wanna scare you away" she said politely
"When my parents told me that , ladke Wale dekhne aa rahe hain i didn't expect, you'll show up. Yes they were pretty excited about you. They didn't tell me tho". She ended
"So you're a hardik fan !. It's nice to know that you like cricket. " What the hell am I saying.
What should I say ? What should we talk about!!!
"Mmm.... So you want to get married and get settled?" I ask "My parents want me to get married, they say it's the right time. I said I'll agree only if , my vibes match with the boy". She said.
"Right time? Will you mind if I ask something?" I ask
" Not at all, what is it?" She said "How old are you?"I ask
" I'll turned 24 this month " she informed
"Okay, I I don't know what should be be talking about, but the thing is is didn't know my parents are bringing me to see you, as in marriage ". I told the truth
"Yeh i kind figured it out as you were so surprised when my father introduced me" she agreed.
"Is there anything you wanna ask?" I asked.
"Do you wanna get married any sooner?" She asked
" I wasn't actually. But now that my parents bought it up , and as you said right time. May be i should consider it" I say it thinking about hardik not iccha. Fyi.
"So do you wanna meet my again? Because I do like you. I mean i don't know you in real life , but as much I've seen of you on screen, you're a very nice person." She said
This made me feel a lil better about all of the, Some people do think that I am a good person.
I can't marry iccha, I know. And i don't wanna lead her on
"Iccha if i be telling the truth, I'll say right now I just want to focus on cricket, and playing for the country" 'and hardik' which I didn't say out loud for obvious reasons. "Do you wanna be friends? For now we can be friends?" She asked.
Being friends is not bad right? I don't wanna dissapoint her. She seems like a really good person.
"Yeh , okay let's be friends. " I agreed
Then she showed me around her room, Turns out she's a good painter. She showed me the paintings she made . I like one in particular. It was a portrait of Hardik .
" You're a real big fan of him" I say "Yeah ! I had a big crush on him in my teens." She said shyly
Of course, I did too. I wanted to say. Who wouldn't. 😅
"Thanks for always supporting him." I said It felt nice , that someone is there who's supporting him. Not even close but , they trust him.
"Don't thank me. I am just a fan. And I'll always suggest him" she says
I don't know, everything for me revolves around hardik.
"Don't you wanna watch the match he's playing today?" I ask.
"Of course i do, but you'll are visiting so it's not possible" she said sadly.
"Me too I want to watch it so bad. But here I am" I sad with a airy not so real laugh.
Then after a while we went downstairs.
" So did you show him the paintings?" Iccha' s mom asked.
"Yeah ,I saw them aunty, so wonderful". I say . . After much much talking and almost after the end of first innings we leave for home .
After 100 byes and plans of meeting again. . . Pftt- . . Finally am home in my comfy clothes, Settled on the sofa watching the game .
And thinking. How am I gonna break this to hardik, how will he react. Coz I didn't actually say NO to anything that was going on this afternoon. I just hope , our families will forget about this afternoon and move on.
Fow now all I wanna do is focus on the screen. . . .
