The Cricket Chronicles (Completed)

"Come on, Jason and Manjot, let's get you guys to the medic." said Zafar,

"Vidya...Vidya, where are you going." replied Shiva,

"I'm not going to keep quiet any longer." said Vidya,

"Vidya...Vidya." replied Shiva,

"Manjot really got hurt and broke his teeth, but he says that you should let Vidya go she knows what she is doing." said Rodrigo,

The other team was still laughing at her and her team members.

"Hey...hey, if you got a problem with me, tell it to my face." replied Vidya,

"Oh, it's not your teammates it's you... you are the problem. This is men's cricket. A woman shouldn't be allowed to be on the men's team, let alone compete in cricket." said the man,

"You disgust me. A woman can do anything a man can do if not better." replied Vidya,

"You should go home. Why are you still here." said the man,

"Let me ask you something if your wife or your child had a talent for cricket, would you tell them that too." replied Vidya,

"You are not supposed to be here." said the man,

"Answer the question. Would you say that to them too." replied Vidya,

"No, I wouldn't." said the man,

"Exactly so next time you should think about what you say and how it affects others." replied Vidya,

Vidya put her helmet back on and walked towards Shiva.

"That was so awesome, Vidya." said Gaurav,

"You truly deserve to be respected, Vidya." replied Shiva,

"Shall we put this match to rest." said Vidya,

"Yes, sounds good to me." replied Shiva,

"Vidya is definitely an inspiration to women everywhere and around the world." said Nasser,

"She is an inspiration to all." replied Alan,

"She will definitely do great things." said Nasser,

"Yes, she will." replied Alan,

"That's right." said Nasser,

"Now back to the match, and it seems like the other team is playing fair now." replied Alan,

"Yes, Vidya's words finally got through to the other team." said Nasser,

"Now a game of fair sportsmanship can begin." replied Alan,

Vidya and Shiva made a few centuries and smiled. They both tapped their bats towards each other and smiled warmly.

"You are doing great." said Vidya,

"So are you." replied Shiva,

"How are Manjot and Jason doing." said Vidya,

"They are both fine, but Jason has to walk on a crutch and won't be able to play cricket for months." replied Shiva,

"And Manjot." said Vidya,

"Most of his teeth had to be removed his mouth is numb for the time being, but he will make a full recovery in no time." replied Shiva,

"Well, I'm glad that they are both okay." said Vidya,

"Me too." replied Shiva,

"Congratulations on your centuries." said Vidya,

"You too." replied Shiva,

"I heard you are getting married." said Vidya,

"No, the wedding got canceled, and the engagement is off. They wanted me to quit playing cricket after getting married." replied Shiva,

"That's horrible, but you love cricket." said Vidya,

"I know that's why I rejected the engagement and canceled the wedding." replied Shiva,

"We make a great team." said Vidya,

"Yeah, and I look forward to more matches and more centuries." replied Shiva,

"But what will you do after playing cricket. What is your plan." said Vidya,

"Become a coach and get married to a person who loves cricket as much as I do. What about you, Vidya?." replied Shiva,

"Maybe become a commentar or a coach for cricket and perhaps get married to someone who also loves cricket as well." said Vidya,

Shiva realized that Vidya could be his life partner because she loves cricket as much as he does.

Vidya also realized that Shiva also loves cricket as much as she does so he could be her life partner.

"Vidya, shall we finish the finals of this tournament." replied Shiva,

"Yep." said Vidya,

After scoring a few more runs, Shiva's team won the finals. The team was holding the trophy while Vidya was smiling.

"Congratulations on your victory." replied Nasser,

"Thank you, Mr Hussain." said Vidya,

"Vidya, please call me Nasser." he replied,

"Oh my gosh, you are Nasser Hussain. You are great." said Shiva,

"And you are Shiva D'Alia. Your father was a legendary cricket captain." replied Nasser,

"Yes, he was he is retired now." said Shiva,

"But have you decided your team name." replied Alan,

"No, not yet still working on it." said Manjot,

"Thunder Strikers." replied Jason,

"Actually, our team name is Power Surge." said Shiva,

"Congratulations on your victory, Power Surge." replied Nasser,

"The name suits all of you after you all have delivered powerful performances." said Alan,

"I have a feeling we will see Power Surge again in the cricket world." replied Nasser,

"Yes indeed." said Alan,

"Vidya, I can't believe you won. Congratulations." replied Payal,

"Thanks, Payal. I'm so glad to be home." said Vidya,

"Your father would be proud of you, so would Amin." replied Mrs.Rao (kissing Vidya on the forehead)

"Thank you, mom, and I'm sorry I disobey you and-." said Vidya,

"It's okay, beti, you have made me proud." replied Mrs.Rao,

"It was a small cricket tournament, but wow, you won it." said Payal,

"Yeah." replied Vidya,

"I wonder what is next for you." said Payal,

"I'm sure we will find out." replied Vidya,

"Maybe this time I will come with you." said Payal,

"Aren't you getting married in a few months, Payal?." replied Vidya,

"Oh please, the groom can wait. My sister is more important." said Payal,

"Vidya, we received an envelope." replied Shiva,

"An envelope, I wonder what it contains." said Vidya,
