Chapter 23 - Act 2 (6)

Everyone in the bowling team has solemn faces as they couldn't comprehend what just happened.

It was nothing man, there was a bowler who bowled 2 good balls at the beginning due to confidence, followed up with 2 short balls due to pressure and finished with 2 slot balls due to inexperience.

Don't go about bitching at my face because your bowler has shit experience.

I probably wouldn't have been able to hit even a single six against the liked of great bowlers.

Learn from your mistakes, you are a good bowler.

Please, korea needs you more than it needs me.

So, don't give up man.

Keep doing well and we'll have found another good bowler.

...

Aah, 2 holidays. How happy I am after that hectic match.

Took my entire energy out that darn match.

Ended up scoring 84/81. Thanks to those 6 balls, I was able to end my innings on a high.

I wasn't actually confident at the beginning.

I thought we'd flunk this one because of my incapability.

But, than I hit one, had the confidence to hit the 2nd.

If they were other bowlers, they'd have expected me to hit the 2nd one for six and if not they should have expected me to hit the 3fd but they didn't do their homework.

Or maybe they took me lightly because of my awful strike rate. Whatever the case I got some good round in the first game so, in quite satisfied.

...

"Hello."

"...Hi. hey, can you take over..."

"Aah... I'll call the boss."

What's going on... Aren't they being ruder than before.

"Aah, you finally here champ."

Champ? She's never called me that what's going on?

"Hey, boss... Why's the redhead avoiding me?"

"Don't worry about it."

What do you mean don't worry about it.

...

"Hey... Can you give me that."

"Aah her-"

Aah, accidentally touched her hand... But you didn't have to retreat so quickly...

Her hate seems to have grown to an even greater degree than before.

...

"This isn't normal boss... I can't work when the women working next to me is so darn uncomfortable around me."

"Aah... I told you to not worry about it didn't it? It's not like she's uncomfortable around you or somethin."

"What could it possibly be than?"

"She... Saw you play yesterday..."

"Huh??"

She did what?

...

That's why... She's been uncomfortable around me.

I was lame enough and now I'm playing some no name game she's never heard of.

She probably one of those women that considers cricket lame...

Is that why she's repulsed?

Than I really have no reason to worry about her being comfortable.

Hate me and call me lame all you want but you don't go about disrespecting things I like.

...

"I feel like... He's totally ignoring me..."

"Well, you have been disrespecting him for so damn long. He's probably fed up by now."

Bomi said calmly.

"Maybe I was a bit harsh on him... But only because I wanted him to be better."

"Well... You don't get to disrespect someone's personality and than try and act like it's for their own good now can you?"

"Aah, look who's talking. You weren't any different from her bomi."

What? I never disrespected his personality, I just disrespected him. I wanted him to work better as his senior. This women just looked down her nose at him."

"That... Isn't very different from her now is it??"

"It obviously is..."

"Hey, can you stop rambling among each other and... Give me a way I can make amends with him."

"Aah... Look at you, the moment you see a cooler side of him, you try and sugar coat him. You wretched Cat."

"I know I was being a bitch, it might seem like I'm sugarcoating things but I do wanna apologise."

"Than... Just do it. Hell be at work tomorrow just tell him you are sorry. Hell probably forgive you. As much as it makes him seem like a pushover. He just doesn't want unnecessary awkwardness. So he'll forgive you. But, hell probably never forget."

...

I thought she just didn't like me because her standards were high but she's an outright bitch.

Imagine hating something that someone likes.

I've had enough of her. If she's gonna judge me for playing a kind of sport that she knows nothing about.

Than fuc* her.

Even if she begs me for an apology 10 years down the line realising her foolish immature self.

I still won't forgive her. I'll never forgive her for hating a sport that I like.

She can not have an opinion on it, not watch it, not card about it.

I won't mind but I won't allow you to hate it.

Only people who have invested their time on cricket get to criticize it.

Hmph.

...

"I'm sorry."

Huh? What's going on... Why's this red head apologizing to me?

This was supposed to happen 10 years later after she gets some Maturity in that head of hers.

Is this a dream...

"Aah... Well..."

I kinda don't wanna forgive her. Especially because of the fact that she hated cricket.

I'd much rather have nothing to do with her, just accept the apology and don't bother with her at all

But still,

"You... Don't get to hate things you know nothing about. I may be lame and shit, but that doesn't mean the games I play are too. You may hold an opinion on something but... Have you ever watched it?

For you to judge it? It's not a 1 time magic, to understand the game you need to invest hours or even days into the game to understand it's magic. If you find it boring fine.

Forget about it, but don't criticize it because you don't know the variables that exist on that pitch. The shit that happens in the 100 overs is never visible to the naked eye.

That game, isn't just between the 2 teams, it's a game between 2 teams that are fighting against the pitch and whoever wins against the pitch becomes the victor.

Your ignorance wouldn't understand that."

Aah, what I said was probably the Lamest thing that's ever said by a boomer librarian nerd who's interested in some story and he explains it.

To that popular gal in the class who thinks that the entire topic is lame.

And gets bullied even more.

Should've kept my mouth shut.

"I... Might have high expectations off people and am a bit of a perfectionist but I never hate on prople's interests and hobbies. That too comes under being a perfectionist."

*Sigh* *chuckle.

She sighed and than chuckled as she looked at me again.

"Look here mister, For the first time since I saw you, I found you attractive after you took off that Helmate after playing the game."

Huh? What's she...

"That's why I was awkward around you. It was a bit of a shocker, since I never found you attractive. But, after that passionate ramble and the with the hair down... You have become unattractive again. You were this close to having a chance at dating me."

Aah... That damn narcissism. I hate it so much, While I know you are pretty and everyone in the world probably would say that if they looked at you but damn girl.

What's wrong in being a Lil modest.

Though that personality does suit you.

"I ain't forgiving you, unless you actually mean to apologise."

"Ofcourse I'm serious..."

"Don't believe it."

i retreated the moment i said that, Making it clear i didn't wanna forgive her.

Still, it's good that there's one less hater of this game.

"Ooh, hey... Stop, you aren't leaving like that are you? You can't just leave without accepting my apology. I won't be able to sleep at night."

"That does seem like a good punishment now doesn't it."

"Heyy!! Come back here."
