32. Agar Magar

Abhishek and Ishan sat in the car, waiting for the lover boys.

Abhishek - Kya lagta hain bhabhi ne hume kyu bahar nikala.

Ishan - Hoga yaar Navman ka kuch.

Abhishek - Navman?

Ishan - Navya + Shubman = Navman. Inke har edit pe tho hotha hain #Navman.

Abhishek - Oh! Waise ye edits hote bade mazedaar hain.

Ishan - Fan pages  kisi detective se kam nahi hain. Kis baat ko kaha se nikaal ke kaha joddhe inka koi bharosa nahi.

They just spent time talking about the most random stuff and then about the upcoming match. 

------------------------------------------------------------------Navya sat on her knees on the bed and looked at Shubman.

Shubman was lost in thought. "Mere akkal main akaal tho nahi pada hain. Agar main ne uske baato ka galat matlab nikaala tho, agar vo ladka koi aur... Agar uske 'haa... haa vahi hain' main sarcasm tha tho..."

"Ahuhh..." Navya cleared her throat to grab his attention. "Andhar aao na" she said.

Shubman stood right in front of her, his mind preoccupied with a billion thoughts.

"Agar magar chal raha hain kya dimag main" Navya giggled at his expressions.

"Don't tell me tumhe face reading aata hain" Shubman pouted. "Maine tumhare message ko galat tho decode nahi kiya hain na" he asked a little nervous.

"Hmm... tho teek hain, main aur ek message dungi, tum usse decode karlena" Shubman nodded as a small smile made way to his face.

Navya pulled Shubman by his T- shirt so that he would bend and match her level. She slowly and gently kissed on his cheek and sat back down crossing her legs. 

Before Shubman could say anything Trisha and Shreyas entered. "Chale bhai? he asked.

Shubman looked back at Navya, she was smiling so innocently as if nothing ever happened.

"Bhai?" Shreyas elbowed him.

"Bye" Shubman waved at Trisha looking at Navya and walked out of the house.

As soon as they departed from the girls Shubman began grinning and wouldn't disclose the reason even when Shreyas asked him about it on the whole walk back to the car.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Shubman and Shreyas joined Ishan and Abhishek; Ishan drove to drop them off at their respective residence.

Ishan - Tho bhai log, hogaya dona ka patch up?

Shreyas - Bilkul.

Abhishek - Shubiiiiiii......

Shubman grinned "Hmmmm.........."

Ishan - Abe Sharma iska naam hain tu kyu sharma raha hain?

Shreyas - Esa kya hogaya?

Shubman - Hum dono ke beech ki baat hain.

Abhishek - Beech ki baat hain. Matlab dost hue paraye aur dushman hua zamaana.

Shubman - Chup kar. Mere zindagi main drama queen kyu bhare pade hain yaar.

Ishan - Ab main ne kya kiya?

Shubman - So tujhe pata hain ki tu drame karta hain.

Ishan - Self realization hona bahot zaroori hota hain meri jaan.

Shreyas - Use nahi batana hain tho teek hain na

Shubman - Exactly, aur Abhishek get your head in the game  

Ishan - Yes guys jeet ke aana

Abhishek - Jande gaad ke aayenge.

Shreyas - Baat tho sahi hain.

Abhishek and Shubman were leaving to England the next day. For their next series. Shubman was captaining the team and knew better then to get disturbed at the moment. He smiled when he read the text that just popped up from Navya.

'Apna pura focus game pe rakhna Princy boy. Series khatam hone ke baad har cheez ka confirmation mil jaega aur mujhe us wagt apne successful young Captain of Team India se milna hain'

'Aur main ye bahot acche se jaanti hu ki tum ek competent player ho, so don't doubt yourself, main jaanti hu pressure hain par tumme usse deal karne ki capability bhi hain'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Shubman tossed and turned but all he could think of was Navya, all he could feel were her lips on his cheek. How could she act so innocent when she just turned his whole world upside down.

Shubman knew kissing somebody specially on the cheek was quite common these days, but what they shared was different. They were not too easy with the physical contact and he knew, he knew it for a fact that he decoded the right message in the right time.

Navya on the other hand was blushing till her cheeks hurt, she very well knew her gesture was nothing less than a confession at a beach and she wished with all her heart that he would give words to the confession.

Which ofc he would.
