Part 12 Friend Request

Khushi looked at the Nehru Stadium as if it was a heaven. She could not believe she was a member there.

"Let's start warm-up..." Arnav smiled.

Khushi started doing warm-ups. After finishing it, she ran slowly. Arnav followed her. They ran five laps.

Khushi stopped and looked at Arnav for his instructions. Arnav gave her a small bottle.

"Have it"

Khushi had it without a question. She didn't know what it was but it tasted delicious. Though it was a very small quantity drink, she felt filling.

"It's dry fruits and banana shake. It will give energy. At the same time, you won't feel hungry"

Khushi nodded. They waited for five minutes and then again started running... this time faster than before. After an hour of practice, they did warm down. They did some exercise alone and some exercise together. Khushi didn't show her awkwardness.

They sat on the turf relaxing. Arnav smiled at Khushi.

"You didn't expect me to become your sponsor, right?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"You were so hesitant to be casual with me. you were not even ready to accept my favour. That's why I directly approached your father"

"Why did you put this much effort to make me accept your favour?"

"It's because you are a talented Athlete. That's why... and more than that..." he stopped.

"What?"

"I wanted to be your friend"

Khushi raised her brows.

"Friends?" He forwarded his hand for a shake.

Khushi nodded no.

"But why?" Arnav fisted his fingers.

"Being my sponsor is different... you can be my friend"

"Whhhyyyy?"

"You are a Managing Director of a company. I'm a simple middle-class girl. Yours and our society are different. We can't travel in the same boat. It will bring many more problems. It will spoil your inner peace. So, please let me be in my limit"

Arnav smiled.

"What do you think of yourself? Do you think you will be like this always? If you win a medal in an International Sports meet, your status becomes higher than mine. The whole high-class guys will die for your friendship...! But I will proudly say, she is my friend" he smiled.

Khushi was looking at him with a mild smile.

"What?"

"You are exaggerating my talent. Me and international medal?" she shook her head with disbelief.

"Ok, if you don't win the International medal, we will break up our friendship... what say?"

Khushi looked at him perplexed.

"Winning an International medal is not a simple thing. It will take many years..."

"So what? However, we are going to study for three years in the same college. I'm sure you will get to participate in the Commonwealth game that's going to be held after two years"

Khushi felt a shiver in her spine. Commonwealth Game? She heard her own heartbeat.

"I... I don't think I can do it"
