Love Arranged

Chapter 1 - The News

Why? Why is this happening to me? Why am I not able to perform? I'm trying my best, giving my hundred percent and yet I'm unable to perform. This is so damn frustrating! I couldn't perform throughout the series. I thought that maybe today is the day when I'll get my form back but no! Not today either. I got out at 27. Will I ever get out of this?

'Bhai, tu thik hai?' Ishan asked bringing me out of my chain of thoughts.
(Bro, Are you okay?)

'yes' I replied.

'Tell me Shubh. I know you're overthinking again. Tu baat kiya kar mujhse jb aisa ho.' Ishan said keeping his hand on my shoulder.
(Talk to me whenever this happens)

'Kyu horha hai bhai ye mere saath. Mai drop ho jaunga team se agar aisa hi chalta raha toh.' I replied keeping my hand on my head.
(Why is this happening to me? I'll be dropped from the team if this continues.)

'No! You're overthinking, Shub. You have proved yourself many times. You won't be dropped just like that. Come lets go out. You need some fresh air.' Ishan said

He's right. I need to go out or I'll keep thinking unnecessary things.

'okay.'

'Aur tu relax kar thoda abhi ek match aur baaki hai. Tu usme krlega perform acha mujhe pata hai.' Ishan said.
(And you should relax. We still have one match left, I know you'll perform well in it.)

He's right I should be positive.

We went to a beautiful restaurant with few other teammates. I actually felt a little better.

(His Outfit for the night. 🥹🤌)

But at the same time, I just can't help it. It feels like I've lost my motivation. I know I need to be positive but this stupid head of mine won't help. No matter how much I try these thoughts don't leave.

I know what to do. I should talk to Dadaji. He'll make everything better. One conversation with him and everything would be fine. I'll call him after reaching the hotel.

I was in the car when I my phone rang.

Mummy calling 📞

I smiled when I saw Mom's call.
