Sorry I promised to double update but whenever I tried to write the chapter, I just couldn't...even writing their names hurt too much.

But it was just a game and game mein toh harr jeet chalti rehti hai

So here is the update, sorry if it is not well written.

"I can act like I didn't heard anything. You don't have to tell everyone because of me" Siraj told Ishan.

"No bhaiya, I was already ready to tell everyone. I just didn't knew the right time. But now I will tell everyone today in the evening. " Ishan grinned.

"Are you sure Ishu? You can take some more time. Imagine when we win the series, you can tell in the interview. A big blow." Siraj spoke.

"I am not coming in front of the whole world. I just want to tell you all." Ishan squealed.

"Ohh"

"Yeah, I won't be coming in front of everyone. What do you take me for?"

"Gay?"

Ishan stared at him.

"You are kidding right." Ishan sighed.

"What? Didn't you told you are gay just now?" Siraj tilted his head.

"I am going. I should be going right now." Ishan shook his head.

"Atleast tell me if you are gay or not."

"How do you want me to tell you? By confirming that I want to be your fwb." Ishan snorted.

"Woah I was kidding. But if you love me too much then I won't say no." Siraj smirked.

"Shut up" Ishan blushed punching his shoulder. Siraj laughed petting his hair.

"Your cab is here gay boy." Siraj snickered pointing towards the cab which was parking beside the main gate of hotel.

"Are you seriously going to call me that?" Ishan whined.

"Hey you should be proud. Nowadays many people are being fans of yaoi and bl. The number of fans you will gain after coming out." Siraj wiggled his eyebrows.

"And the hate? You are forgetting India is still full of homophobes" Ishan looked at him.

"So? It's not our problem. Ishan when people are acrophobic do we destroy all the infrastructure which are of tall heights or do we make their anxiety go away?" Siraj asked.

"Make their fear go away." Ishan replied.

"Is the problem acrophobia or height?"

"Acrophobia"

"Is the problem homosexuality or homophobia? Who should be fearing?" Siraj asked.

"Bhai"

"Come on Ishan. Answer it"

"Bhai what are you trying to say? Please tell fast the cab is waiting. Don't play games." Ishan said.

"Ishu I am just trying to say that why you should be hated for something they are scared of? If they are homophobic then it's not our problem, they should be the one who needs to be cured not you. So keep your head high and don't fear them." Siraj said.

Ishan smiled widely and hugged him. Siraj hugged him back.

"You are seriously gonna make me cry. I can't go in front of Aditi with the crybaby face." Ishan muttered on Siraj's neck. Siraj chuckled ruffling his hair.

"Well you should first think of how to get to Aditi. Because the cab won't be waiting long." Siraj snickered.

" Shit yeah" Ishan pulled away and looked at him before bidding him a quick goodbye.

Siraj patted his head before he could run to the cab.

He hummed while getting inside the hotel himself, he still has to get ready for the practice.

----

It was 12 pm and Ishan was supposed to get here an hour before. Aditi sighed before calling him.

He cannot forget about them meeting again. It was the second time now.

She huffed when Ishan didn't picked up the call.

She will only wait for one more hour and then will go back.

If Ishan forgot about her then she will never talk to him again.

She can't be the only one trying to do efforts to keep up their friendship.

"Shubi what is this fielding?" Rohit glared at him.

"Sorry bhai, it slipped off my hand." Shubman apologized.

"This slip gave Cheeku an extra 4 runs. Is this how you are going to play in the semi finals? Give pakistan extra 4 runs whenever the ball will come to your direction. " Rohit scoffed.

"I will not let this mistake happen again." Shubman pursed his lips.

"What happened Shubi? You were fielding just nice a while ago." Kuldeep asked.

"It's just, Ishan was supposed to be back till 4 pm and now it's 7 pm bhai. I can't focus because of that."

"Don't worry he will be back. Maybe he is just enjoying with Aditi." Kuldeep wiggled his eyebrows.

Shubman shook his head. He won't be telling Kuldeep the truth.

He sighed and focused on the practice match. Only 4 overs were left and then they can go back to rest. He will call Ishan and get to know about his well being.

Fortunately or unfortunately their practice was stopped midway because of Aditi coming in the practice ground.

----

It was 6:30 pm when Aditi thought she had enough. Ishan again forgot about her.

She has been waiting for him since so long but yet Ishan loved to embarrass her in this Cafe, that too in another country.

She will go to his hotel and will tell him off. He cannot just forget about her every single time. She has some dignity too.

That's why after half an hour she was standing in front of the stadium where they had been practicing.

If the practice was too much important then he could have just told her, she would have understood and make plans for next time.

But no, Ishan was too busy to even inform her.

Aditi could not even find Ishan in the ground, with a heavy heart she took steps towards Rohit, who was the nearest to her on the field.

"Guys pause the game." Rohit said before turning his attention towards Aditi. Other members also gathered towards them.

"Sorry for disturbing, Rohit bhaiya I just wanted to meet Ishan." Aditi said.

"Wasn't Ishan with you the whole day though?" Rohit asked.

"No he never came." Aditi scowled.

"But he had gone in the morning to meet you. " Rohit replied.

"I had been waiting for him in the cafe since the morning, even calling him non stop. He never answered." Aditi whispered out.

"What happened? " Shubman asked when everyone gathered around them.

"Ishan is missing."
