"Now you know why I don't want you to play cricket. Do you want to end up like Amin and your father." replied Mrs.Rao,

"It doesn't matter anymore, mom. I'm not going to play cricket anymore." said Vidya,

"Come on, Vidya, no way you are the daughter of Hamid Rao." replied Gaurav,

"Don't let Shiva get to you Vidya he was just trying to upstage you between me and you he doesn't like it when someone is better than him." said Manjot,

"It doesn't matter, Manjot. I'm not going to play cricket anymore." replied Vidya,

"Vidya, please, you are really good, and I can give Shiva one of my deadly glares." said Payal,

"Vidya, I'm not joining back on the team until you come back." replied Zafar,

"Me too." said Jason,

"That goes for me too." replied Manjot,

"Same for me." said Pierre,

"Me as well." replied Rodrigo,

"That goes for me also." said Xavier,

"What they said." replied Gaurav,

"Please, Vidya, you are fantastic." said Payal,

"It doesn't matter it's over." replied Vidya,

"Should we check on Shiva." said Jason,

"No way he deserves to be alone after everything he's done to Vidya." replied Manjot,

"I don't feel right about abandoning him like this even if he was a jerk and a bit of a ham. He's still our friend and our captain." said Zafar,

"Me too." replied Gaurav,

"You guys go ahead and see Shiva." said Vidya,

"Why don't you come with us to see him." replied Rodrigo,

"No, it's okay. I'm the last person he wants to see, so why would I go." said Vidya,

"Alright, we won't force you." replied Pierre,

Pierre, Jason, Zafar, Rodrigo, Xavier, Gaurav, and Manjot left Vidya's house and went to the field.

"Manjot, Jason, Zafar, Rodrigo, Xavier, Gaurav, Pierre, I thought you guys quit the team." said Shiva,

"Look at first we did, but can you blame us? You were acting like a child and a jerk." replied Manjot,

"I know. I'm sorry." said Shiva,

"It's okay, we forgive you." replied Jason,

"Thank goodness." said Shiva,

Vidya was lying on her bed and was looking at the posters of her favorite cricket players.

She was holding her pillow as she was lying on her bed.

"That Shiva he is such a jerk how dare he treat my sister like that." replied Payal, (angrily chopping the tomato)

Vidya had remembered that when her father was close to death, he asked his brother to finish the match and take his team to victory, which his brother did.

"What do I do." replied Vidya,

You're the one who's upset with me and You're the one whom I have to appease
