Connected Hearts

"The Indian skipper of the national Cricket team has decided to humiliate the Australian media by getting into fight with one of the reporters who asked him about his personal life. However, there is no response from the Indian government or the cricket team regarding this issue yet.

Is this behaviour of the person towards another person acceptable and the skipper is not ready to answer the questions of the media" the reporter of the famous Australian channel spoke and the news is being watched in their hotel room by two persons, out of which one person is standing on one side of the table present in the room while the others is sitting on the other side in his chair.

"What do you have to say about this?" asked the person who is sitting on the chair looking at the person who is standing in the room.

"Mr. Johnson I am not the person who will tolerate when someone spoke ill about my family and the people who are close to my heart" he spoke calmly which made Johnson shock.

"You know right that I hold the power to suspend you now" he spoke with attitude clear in his voice and seeing his behaviour the skipper got angrier.

"Sir, I would love to get suspended like this instead of letting those idiots talk something about my family" he spoke, and Johnson looked at him with a smirk.

"Then fine Mr. Aaron you are suspended for the next game" Johnson spoke and Aaron nodded his head with a smile on his face. Seeing his smile Johnson got more furious and he looked at Aaron with an angry look.

"Don't you have a little bit of regret that you are not going to play for the next one? When the match is going to be crucial for our entrance into the world cup" he asked Aaron who smiled at Johnson.

"Sir as I told before instead of playing the match like a cat, I would like to quit like a lion with pride that I stood for my loved ones and coming to the match then I am sure my team can win this one without me and we will qualify for the world cup" he spoke and Johnson looked at Aaron with a smile on his face this time.

"This is the reason why everyone loves you my boy and don't worry you are not suspended but you will have a little fine to make them calm but I just want to request you one thing?" he spoke, and Aaron looked at him confused that how can he change his posture so sudden. Still Aaron nodded his head asking him to continue as he is still in shock.

"Reply to those idiots by winning this match" he spoke and there a huge smile on the face of Aaron and his mood changed into happy in the fraction of second.

"Off course I will do it for sure because now I want to go against them officially and I will reply to all of them with my game and trust me sir tomorrow the headlines will be in other way" Aaron spoke and this brought a smile on Johnson face seeing his confidence and they both shook their hands and soon Aaron left from the cabin. He reached his hotel room as the cabin is also in the same hotel. He settled himself on his bed when three people entered inside his room even without knocking and he obviously knew who they were.

"Guys don't worry all is settled, will have some fine I don't how much and even I don't care too" he spoke, and he lay down on the bed in supine position, the three boys came and sat beside him on the bed.

"When did we say that we were worried about the meeting I am worried about the bowlers tomorrow who were going to watch their ball leaving the stadium from all sides" one of them spoke and Aaron looked at him with are-you-serious look.

"Abhi" Aaron spoke but there is a smile on his face, then he heard another voice.

"What don't look at him like that, indeed he is correct I am worried how many balls does the board have to bring tomorrow to the stadium as you will send all the balls out of the stadium in frustration or you might shot the ball on bowler face or the opponent body parts" another guy spoke and Aaron looked at all of them in an angry look this time and spoke his name with gritted teeth 'Kabir'

"Buddy remember we are not afraid of your glare" another guy who is silent till now spoke and Aaron looked at all of them.

"I know Nikhil that you all are not afraid of my glares, but I am sure that these two are afraid of another thing" Aaron spoke and looked at the other two guys who were looking at him with a confused look.

"I am sure Abhi is afraid of my sister who is trying to call him from the last 2 hours, and he is not receiving her calls as he is busy preparing the plan to tease his girlfriend's brother" Aaron spoke and Abhi looked at him with a wide mouth. He asked him through his eyes whether it is correct or not and when Aaron nodded his head in yes, Abhi immediately stood on his feet.

"Bye I am going now otherwise your sister will kill me from US only" he spoke and ran out form the room leaving all of them in laughter. Then Aaron looked at Kabir with a smirk on his face who is already looking at him.

"Don't tell me that you did something?" he spoke and the smirk on Aaron face grew more.

"Do I look like that?" he counter questioned him, and Kabir nodded his head in yes with a scared look and Aaron made an innocent face.

"I swear I didn't send the picture of your yesterday dance with some girl to your fiancée who has blocked your number right now" he spoke, and Kabir eyes grew wide which made Aaron laugh.

"You idiot I am telling you that if there is any problem to my engagement then I will kill you and I pray that your girlfriend should dump you on your engagement day" he spoke and stared to run out from the room.

"We will see about mine later but right now see yours" Aaron shouted and Aaron ran out from the room before he heard Aaron line. Nikhil and Aaron had a hearty laugh which even produced tears in their eyes.

"Ok even I will move buddy take rest and even I agree the opponents are going to die tomorrow" he spoke and before Aaron could react, he too went out from the room. Aaron smiled at his three crazy friends not that he is not friends with others, but he is close to these three because they are from same place, and they are childhood friends too. Aaron freshened up and was ready to take rest so that he could rock the game tomorrow and his plan got flop when he saw his mobile ringing. Initially he used to throw his mobile somewhere when he used to play but change in the equation with one person changed his habit and he is now keeping the mobile on all the time, but he will leave it in the hotel room itself when he is in official work. He saw the caller id and immediately a smile came on his lips.

"I never knew that you would miss me so much and will call me so soon" he spoke and waited for the reaction from the other side because he knew that he irritated the person.

"Shut up Aaron and I knew that you won't play a match without my wish so I called to do that and if you don't want it then I will disconnect the call" he heard her voice which will always bring peace to him, and he smiled at her irritated voice.

"When did I say that I don't want the wish?" he asked her to make her smile and he too smiled as he knew she will be smiling now.

"All the best Aaron do well and lots of love. mwah" she kissed him on mobile making him smile.

"I love you too baby" he spoke and after some time they disconnected the call and he slept soon. The next morning, he woke up soon and went for some gym exercise and soon he is ready for the next match.

"Aaron" "Aaron"

This is the only name heard in the stadium where there is match between India and Australia, but this match is happening in Australia, but the ground is completely echoed with the name of the Indian skipper who is on the strike and ready to face the last over of the match.

The famous Australian fast bowler is ready to deliver the ball and India need just 5 runs needed in the last over and it's almost win for India and the skipper Aaron need 2 runs to get his ton done. As soon as the ball is delivered, he hit the ball with such a force and timing that the destination of the ball is in the stands and India won the match with 9 wickets and had qualified for the cricket world cup.

The finals scores were Aaron Malhotra with 104* and the vice-captain, Abhimanyu Kapoor with 45* while the opener Kabir Khan who came along with Aaron scored 70 runs and the effort of these three persons took India to the victory.

After the celebrations ended, Aaron was all ready to go for the Post match presentation. He reached the ground, and he found many people still in the stands and he smiled at that because people are ready to support a sport at any time.

“So, let's get started with the presentation and today it is wonderful performance from both the teams and the luck didn't Favor the home team and the guest team won the series. So, we would like to thank all the sponsors and now I would ask the chairman of the Australian cricket board to present the man of the match award to the Indian skipper, Aaron" the host spoke, and Aaron walked to collect the prize in all the claps and roars of his name.

"It's Australia and how are you feeling after seeing this kind of support for you here?" Host asked Aaron as he came to him for a chat. Aaron smiled at the question of the host.

"Here the support is for team India and it's always glad to see people supporting us in every country we go and play... It feels like we are in home away from home" he spoke, and the host smiled at him.

"So, what is the secret behind the success of this series" host asked and Aaron looked focused for a second.

"I would say it is the atmosphere of the dressing room you all know that the media incident which happened a day ago and after that we have decided to keep all the negativity away from the dressing room and I think we are successful in that" he spoke, and the host nodded his head.

"What you want to say about your performance?" He asked and then Aaron had a full wide smile on his face.

"After the media incident where all our team members were bashed and the reason being me made me upset and I even decided to go away from the series, but someone told me that not everyone get a chance to represent the country and when we get it, we should use it to full extent. So, today I will dedicate this performance to that person" he spoke, and host smiled and soon the presentation got ended with skipper receiving the cup and the whole team had some fun and clicked many photographs.

India

There is a girl seeing the match live in India only for one person. When she heard his dialogues in the post-match presentation, she smiled to core as she is the one who spoke those words to Aaron during their talks.

"Indeed, I am right Mr. Malhotra, you should thank me in a proper way" she spoke to herself and took her mobile out and typed a message to Aaron.

"Get ready to thank me in our way and by the way your batting is awesome Mr. Boyfriend" she typed the message and waited for his reply but when she didn't receive anything she slept with a smile on her face. The next day she woke up with the continuous ring on her mobile phone, she searched for her mobile still closing her eyes and when she found it, she answered the call without seeing the id and kept it near her ears.

"Hello" she spoke in the sleepy voice and the person on the other side chuckled listening to her sleepy voice.

"So, the sleepy head didn't wake up still" he spoke, and she smiled listening to the voice of the person.

"Aaron" she spoke with all her love in one single word and Aaron on the other side smiled to core listening to her voice.

"Yes, baby it's me and now wake up and move to hospital it's already late and I knew that you didn't sleep properly so go to work and complete it soon and then come back soon and sleep" he spoke like a strict father, and she just hummed him in her sleep and was about to sleep again.

"Ms. Aadhya Kapoor wake up now otherwise I will go and tell your brother about our relation" Aaron spoke and Aadhya sat on the bed with a jerk.

"You stupid and idiot always you blackmail me now go and don't talk to me" she spoke with an angry look and Aaron laughed to core on the other side.

"Ok baby I won't tell for now but please go for work and come home back soon and coming to your thanks let me tell you that I am more than ready to thank you in my style so be ready for it" he spoke, and Aadhya blushed to core.

"Aaron bye I am going" she spoke and before Aaron could reach, she disconnected the call and moved to start her daily works.

While on the other side, Aaron had a smile after the call had ended. He then moved towards the others who were waiting in the airport for their flight announcement.

"Who is it buddy?" Abhi asked Aaron and he looked at him with a shocked face.

"Who buddy?" he asked looking here and there in the airport covering himself, but Abhi caught his hand making Aaron look at him.

"Remember you can't hide anything from me, and I can see that you are hiding something from me so spill it before I go to my sherlock homes mode" Abhi spoke with a smile and patted Aaron on his cheeks who gulped his throat.

"How can I come to you and say that buddy I am in relation with your sister when she should be the one telling you that" Aaron spoke to himself when Abhi left him there.
