Chapter 13
As they reached college Suhani went for lecture and Jhummi got scolded by coach, you know Jhummi that this tournament is very important for us, and you can't skip practice like this, I know you are a good player but you need practice too, just a few days are left for the tournament after that you can spend as much time as you want, but not now, from today you can't skip practice until tournament day, said Jhummi and nods in agreement and said sorry to the coach.
Jhummi changed her clothes for practice and went directly to the court. The coach was continuously doing practice with students, Jhummi waved at Shrishti and Abhimanyu, Ayan was also there but Jhummi didn't eye contact with him ignored him. Ayan didn't like Jhummi's reaction but kept his mouth shut, and tried to focus on practice. Jhummi felt Ayan's intense gaze but she also tried to focus on practice. Just one week is left so she can't take the risk.
"This match will be between Abhimanyu and Shrishti, and we'll see your progress", said the coach.
The match began, Abhimanyu was looking chill, but you can read Shrishti's face, she was a little bit nervous, she saw in Jhummi's direction and Jhummi cheer up her with her smile and said all the best to her. Abhimanyu won the match, of course, the score was 8-2, Shrishti also played well but in front of Abhimanyu, she couldn't make herself comfortable.
Shrishti likes Abhimanyu so much, she was stalking him on Instagram from so many years, She put so many efforts in taking admission in this college, just because Abhimanyu was in this college. Her heart beats so fast whenever she sees him. And this was the most awkward situation for her. She can't even look up when she sees Abhimanyu around her, that is why she couldn't concentrate on the match because he was in front of her.
The next match was between Jhummi and Abhimanyu. Both are awesome players, Jhummi's focus was only on the match, she won't want to disappoint the coach and herself, she tried hard but she loose by 9-10. No doubt Abhimanyu trained himself fabulous."You tried good, keep practicing" said the coach to Jhummi.
Last but not the least match was between Abhimanyu and Ayan, both are top players of the city, there was a tough compet.i.tion between them, and both kept the balance in a very splendid way. Unfortunately Ayan missed the shot and Abhimanyu won the match.
The coach was very disappointed with Ayan, although Ayan tried his best still he was distracted and lost. The coach appreciate Abhimanyu and told him "good job Abhimanyu, keep it up and do continue hard work".You guys need more practice as we have very few time left, keep practicing guys.
Jhummi was so exhausted after this much practice and she was hungry too so she quickly went to change her practice clothes and directly went canteen. She was so happy as she saw Suhani was waiting for her in the canteen with her favorite food and cold coffee, Jhummi kisses Suhani's cheek and said, "how do you know that I am coming, and I am so hungry, I love you baby".
"Don't you know that I am an astrologer", said Suhani in teasing tone? Come on now eat and then I'll teach you what you missed in today's all lectures.
Ayan and Abhimanyu both were also tired like h.e.l.l, and they were hungry too, as they were also practicing since morning. They both went canteen but not together, Ayan called Raghav and told him to meet him at the canteen, as per Abhimanyu went out of college with Vivek.
Ayan was watching Jhummi like he was the first time watching her, Jhummi can feel his gaze on her, but she didn't turn her eyes in his direction. She knows if she did, he'll tease her, and this time Suhani will definitely catch her.
Suhani is continuously asking Jhummi why she is behaving weird from last few days, she told her that she is behaving like lost in another world, and whenever she sees her, she caught her smiling alone like a fool and with a blush on her face and a bright s.h.i.+ne in her eyes.
"Now if you didn't tell me what is wrong with you, I'll never talk to you, I swear", said Suhani and she was trying so hard to being angry, but Jhummi knows that is not angry with her, she just wants to know the truth.
"Okay fine, I'll tell you everything, but you have to promise me, that you'll not judge me and you'll not make fun of me and you'll never tease me and one more thing your reaction shouldn't be horrible, if you agree all these, then I'll tell you.
"Oh come on baby, you know me right, I agree with your terms now tell me fast, what happened?? Jhummi tried to being genuine but with so much hesitation she said, I... I... kissed him, no,... He kissed me.
