Next day
After match

India won the match by 6 wickets. It was my first game with the team n India win.
It is indeed a great feeling but the problem is Virat's batting. Today he scored 14 runs only.

And it was his 5th innings in which he hasn't scored a 50 so I know media will soon starts to ask question abut his performance. So I guess I need to talk to Virat about this.

Right now I'm in my room just listening to music coz today was a hell of a tiring day. With all the energy n cheer on the ground was awesome and then the traffic on the road. All this has sucked out energy from me.

Just then i got a call from one of the management staff to have a talk with him. It got me curious abut what he wanted to talk.

I was on my way to go meet him with NEHA stopped me n asked " did u saw the news?"

"No why?" I asked a bit confused.

"They got ur n Virat's pic together from mall and they think that u are Virat's girlfriend or something" she said with a sad look.

"Shit" that was all I can say at that time. Its bad really really bad.

Virat's POV
I was watching TV when a news cot my attention. It was abut my performance.
Nothing new abut that.
But that's not what cot my attention it was a pic of mine with...... Vertika.
Her face was not very clear but still and the caption as"Virat spotted with a new girl last night n today scores only 14, is that the reason why he is not performing?"
God.... These media people. Vertika is going to kill me. Just then i got a call to meet with one of the mangers of the team.

When I reached the room Vertika was already there n she doesn't look happy.

"Come Virat we were just waiting for u" he said.

"So I hope u both have saw the news...." He looked at us we both nodded so he continued "and i'm really disappointed in u virat .. You shouldn't have gone out last night. And then today's performance just added to it" .

He was right there I shouldn't have. Then we didn't have to face this problem. Vertika wouldn't have been involved in the mess.

It really surprised me how I was more concerned about her then myself.
Coz she warned me last night. And she is great at her work at such a young age . yes she is stubborn sometimes but she is a great person.
Vertika's voice dragged me out of my thoughts.

"I'm really sorry sir. Its not his fault I was the one who wanted to go out not him" she said with a hard look on her face.
Why will she take my blame herself.
May be she doesn't want me hurt or something or she can't stand me being scolded .

"I'm disappointed with u then Vertika u r supposed to stop him from trouble n u yourself are creating it" he said to Vertika.

"Sorry sir it wouldn't happen next time I promise" Vertika told him with sincerity.

"OK it better not" with that said he left me n Vertika alone.

"Why did u-" I started to ask but she stopped me first.

"Coz next time when u guilty trap me I wouldn't fall for ur excuse n i will remember this incident" she said this with so much of anger I wonder how she was so calm just a minute ago.
With that she stormed away.

"Scary" was what I said before going.

At dinner everyone was there but Vertika was not. I got a feeling that she still is upset abut the news.

And I can understand that she is new to all this media news n all's.

So I asked NEHA about Vertika. She said Vertika was not felling well so she was out in the garden. I thought of checking up on her.

Vertika's POV

All this media n work really have exhausted me. I really miss home today. If my parents saw this news then I'm sure they will freak out. I don't want that.

Right now I'm at the garden listening to songs to calm myself down.
I really doesn't want to talk to any one right now just want some alone time.
I closed my eyes n remember the time when I was young and always fan girl about him.

The silence was really comforting until I heard someone calling my name but I doesn't open my eyes. Then i felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Hi" it was Virat.
I open my eyes they have tears in them .
I doesn't  realised that I was crying until now.

" hey" I said n sit up straight.

"You r ok?" He asked with concerned.

"I think so" I told him truthfully.

"Don't think about it so much Vertika....
They make news everyday n forget.. You should also" virat told me.

"This not that easy virat... I'm here all alone working for a stranger with strange people" I said.

"I'm not a stranger... Am I ?" He asked me.

Oh... You anything but stranger to me Virat.

"No u r not....I'm just a bit emotional today that's all I will be fine" I told him.

"Hey... If u ever feel alone tell me ok.... Coz u r not alone I'm here" he said n open his arms to me. I doesn't even think a bit before hugging him.

I really needed it. His arms were warm. Really warm n comforting. I can spend my whole life here. I can feel his muscles within his shirt. It felt nice. A bit too nice.

"It will be fine doesn't take too much stress u will have dark circles" he said. I can't help it I laughed n so does virat.

"You really care about dark circles" I asked amused.

"Well most of the girls care about it so I thought may be u also" he said.

"I'm not most of the girls" I told him.

"That you are not" virat confirmed.
What does that mean??
