Shubman : no I really mean it

Eda : thanks

Shubman : so...are you studying or just cricket

Eda : I am an architecture student

Shubman : wow....it's little rare to see people in this field to Persue a proper degree

Eda : I had to..in childhood when my family had this conversation of making me cricketer...my mom was like 'do whatever you want.. it's your life but your never ever gonna ignore your studies '

Shubman : how did you manage then

Eda : I still don't know...how I used to manage school, practice,exam, tournaments....my mom made sure that I wasn't left behind in studies..you know right in this field we don't know what will happen next...one single match can end your carrier

Shubman : yeah thats true.....a player must put his all efforts without any remarks

Eda : and if that player is misfortune....then his efforts sometimes don't go well

Shubman : I think in our life our parents played a huge role in carrier making

Eda : totally agree....so ... when is your next match?

Shubham : I'm in my resting period

Eda : same goes for me.... resting periods are the best after a series

Shubman : I was really impressed by your world cup journey....every match you played your best.... sometimes more than best

A sudden tension arose between them....an unpleasant silence

Eda : my personal favourite match of yours was the come back you gave in England test match after world cup.... everyone thought your chapter has closed....but you proved them wrong

Shubman : yeah ..that test series though me an huge lesson...that century was for my fans who supported me through out that series despite how ever I was playing

Eda : how is it now...your heart your emotions

Shubman : it was not as hard I thought....I was hurt that she choose someone else over me....it was not like we were still together or  she cheated on me ...we already broke up...i still don't know why I reacted like that but now I feel how stupid I was to cry on it..... Today she is happy leading a new life and im happy for her....and all thanks to you
