Sumedh's POV
"Chill na. Teammates me itna to chalta hai. Aur kitna difficult catch tha woh" Parul said. "Yeah yeah, whatever" I said looking at the field again.

The match was going on.

Bhuvi was bowling the last over of the match.

The delivery was fine. The batters ran to take runs. Devaki had the ball and she threw it to Bhuvi. He caught it and hit the wickets. Prajakta got run out.

Devaki looked at us for a couple of seconds. Then she ran to Bhuvi and jumped. She hugged him tightly and he hugged her back.

I was shocked. How? Like seriously Devaki!?

"Yeh pagal h kya? Koi ese kisi ko hug krta hai!?" I asked.

"Jeth ji esa nhi hai. Woh hamesha ese hug krte hai, wicket celebrate krne k lie" Parul explained.

I looked at her annoingly.

"Match khatam ho gaya. Chalie milne jaate hai Didi se" She said and took me to Devaki.

"Well played Didi!!" Parul said hugging Devaki. She thanked her.

"Arey aap Bhuvi...me aapko Bhuvi se milati hu" Devaki said as Bhuvi was standing with her.

"Bhuvi yeh hai meri devrani" She said placing her hand on Bhuvi's shoulder.

He shook hand with Parul.

"Aur yeh..." She said. Her smile lessened. "Tumhare fr..." Bhuvi was about to ask. "Husband...me Devaki ha pati hu" I said proudly.

"Ohh..right! Sorry me shaadi me aa nhi paya" Bhuvi said and shook hand with me. I smiled.

"To kesi hai life is pagal k saath?" Bhuvi asked giving a nudge to Devaki.

I faked a smiled. "Kucch zada hi acchi hai" I said.

"Tang to nhi krti na?" He asked.

I smiled. "Bilkul nhi, balki boht acche se khayal rakhti h mera" I said. Devaki smirked.

"Aww, my cutie pie!!" Bhuvi said pulling Devaki's cheeks.

I gritted my teeth. What the hell!?
"Pativrata naari, kya baat h tumhari!!!" He said. Devaki chuckled.

"Accha sun na" Devaki said to Bhuvi.

"Suna na" Bhuvi said.

"Kal weight training ka session hai, aaega?" Devaki asked.

"Kon kon aa raha hai?" Bhuvi asked.

"Well...Mahi Bhai, me aur tu" Devaki said.

"Done...aa jaunga" He replied.

"Yeh lo! Ho gaya...ab waha bhi nain matakka chalega iska. Jitna yeh mera favourite tha utni hi nafrat krta hu ab me isse"  I thought.

"Devaki, ham car me wait kr rhe h. Jaldi aana" I said. She nodded and they went to the changing rooms.

I didn't like the chemistry they had. While walking to the changing rooms, Devaki said something to Bhuvi and he punched her arm playfully. She chuckled and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. They went in while talking.

I gritted me teeth and rolled my eyes. Parul looked at me.

"Kya?" I asked. She smiled and shook her head.

"Sochna bhi mat!!" I said as I understood what was in her mind.

She chuckled.

Devaki was ready so we left for home.

*******

B

efore sleeping I saw Devaki watching tv.

I cleared my throat to catch her attention.

"Devaki..." I called her.

"Bako" She said rudely. I was fine actually, because I was used to that behaviour.

"Woh...kucch, poochna tha tumse" I said.

"Sun rhi hu" She said concentrating on the tv.

"Woh...Bhuvi hai na? Tum aur Bhuvi kitne time se jaante ho ek dusre ko?" I asked.

She slightly turned towards me.

"Bhuvi me itna interest kyu?" She asked.

"Bas ese hi pooch raha hu, btao na" I insisted.

"Well...hamne saathme cricket khelna shuru hua tha. Kitne saal...umm...haan almost 11 saal ho gey" She said.

Damn!! 11 years!? That's so damn much!!
"Yeh to boht zada hai...kaafi time se jaante ho ek dusre ko" I said with disappointment.
