His captain sprinkled water on his face, blew air on his face. After few seconds, he regain his consciousness. They took him on a bench. Eva opened the cap of a bottle and gave him to drink water. He took 2-3 sips from it and started wiping his face.
" Congratulations." Eva and Isla said.
" Wow! You were entirely different in this match." his captain applauded him. He seemed so much impressed from him.
Everyone was praising him. Parth was looking around for Ryan but he seemed nowhere.
After almost fifteen minutes, Darshan came to him and said, " Parth, we changed ourselves. Now you go to Changing room and change yourself. After that come back here. "
" Okay. " Parth said and walked towards the changing room.
He saw Ryan and his friends were standing outside the changing room and Rose was shouting at Ryan.
" I don't know anything. I won't let you kiss him. I can't see him kissing you. " Rose flustered.
His friends kept her quiet when they saw Parth going inside the changing room. Ryan turned to go inside the changing room but Rose grabbed his hand and said, " No, Ryan. Please no. "
" Let me go Rose. " Ryan said, "You don't cry.It's just a kiss. My feelings won't get rise for him. You will be my girlfriend after that also."
Parth was listening everything from inside. He felt very sad listening him." Whatever happens? He is not gonna like me. " he thought and felt broken from inside. Parth was confirmed that he had feeling for Ryan.
Parth didn't want to go to him. He was waiting there for Ryan to come to him and talk to him.
" Rose, please leave my hand. Let me talk to him at least. " Ryan said.
" How can you do this to me? " Rose said. Parth couldn't hold this drama anymore.He changed his clothes and came outside to go home. He was drained and wanted to go home as fast as possible.
As he came outside, Ryan approached him. He was very quiet. It was the first time that Parth was looking his this side, very quiet and calm as if ready to surrender himself in front of him. He came and stood in front of Parth. His friends were at a few distant , looking at them. Parth looked at Ryan' s face. It was the first time that there were no haterdness on his face for him and he was looking at him. Parth's heart was sinking. His heart was beating fast, encouraging him , not to miss this chance. Although,he said to kiss him as a challenge but he really wanted to kiss him and hug him and not let anyone to take him from himself.
But Parth was not selfish. He wanted the same feelings from him too but it was impossible. He would never love Parth. He would never fall for him.
Parth came near to him and said, " What? Why are you standing in front of me? "
" You are winner. Now, according to our challenge. I have to kiss you. " Ryan said.
Parth smiled and whispered in his ear, " Don't worry. Don't force yourself to kiss me. I did all this just to let you know that i'm not after your sister. I was after you from starting.Since the day i saw you, i was falling for you bit by bit every day. Anyways, i don't want you to get annoy by my touch.You don't like.. In fact you hate people like me. So, i'll stay away from you from now. Bye. "
Ryan was startled. He never thought that it would go like this. He was about to say something but Parth walked away from there. Tears from his eyes rolled down. He wiped his tears. His heart was aching.He walked from there as fast as possible. He went back to his home.
Ryan's girlfriend and his friends didn't understand what happened between them. They just saw Parth moving from there while wiping his tears.
"What did he say? " Rose asked him.
"Nothing. " Ryan said, " Okay. Let's go outside."
"Ryan, please tell us, what did you guys talk." One of his friends said, " I saw tears in his eyes."
"He didn't let me kiss him." Ryan said.
"It means he will go after your sister ? " Rose said, " I knew he is very smart. He just wanted to take revenge from us. "
"Don't know. " He said and moved from there.
Winner was going to be announced and they were going to be called on the stage. They came to the stage but Parth was not with them.
Ryan looked around for him. His words were flashing again and again in his mind. " Ouch! Why am i recalling his words . " he thought.
Everything got ended and they returned home.
Parth' s condition was getting worst.He was laying in his bed. Lily came to him with medicine.
"Parth, take this medicine and take rest. If temperature will not go then we will go to visit doctor in the evening. "
"Okay. But please don't tell anyone about last night. "
Lily glared at him and said, " Why are talking him seriously? You were carefree boy, how did you mind his words? Let him speak and if he doesn't want you to have friendship with his sister. Then break your friendship."
"Oh. Please don't blame him.Nothing to do with him in this. Let me take some rest. "
"Okay. " Lily said and moved out of his room.
Lily came downstairs. " Lily, where is Smiley? " grandma said.
"He is tired so sleeping in his room. "
"What about today's match? "
"Yeah, his team won the match. " Lily said.
"Wow. I knew. He is such a wonderful child. " grandma boasted about him.
Lily didn't reply anything. She was worried for him. She went to her room.
Parth was thinking about Ryan. He said him that he wouldn't go after him but he knew he couldn't control his feelings for him. He couldn't bear seeing him with anyone else but he was sure that Ryan would never love him.
