Hello TaaReyians... here's the next chapter.
Taani was in her room with a dangerous mood. N rey entered with a tray of food.
Rey - hey kiddo, come have some food.
Taani - mujhe bhook nahi hai
Rey - ha janta hu. But abi abi meri baat tumhare tummy k chuho se hui, unhone kaha jldi khana lao warna ye taani hume bina khilaye hi maar degi.
Taani - mai kya bachi hu jo mujhe aise behka rahe ho.
Rey - right. Tum badi ho chuki ho. N responsible bhi ho. N tumhare friends wo bhi bache nahi hai. Isliye tum unpe jitna chillaoge wo utna hi provoke ho k tumhare against jayenge. Tumhare friends hai, tumhare jaise hi honge na. Jaise tumhe control me rehna nahi pasand, vaise unhe bhi nahi pasand.
Taani - to kya karu mai. 2 week baad exam start honge n 3rd week k baad match hai. 1st time aisa lag raha hai jaise mujhse nahi ho payega.
She sits on her bed with head resting on her knees. While rey sits near her n places his hand on her shoulder.
Rey - taani.... is world me 2 tarah k log hai. 1 positive person n dusra negative. Agar mai aadha glass pani la k dunga na, to wo negative insaan bolega are... ye glass to aadha khali hai. But agar wahi aadha glass pani mai kisi positive insaan ko dunga to wo kahega... are waah, ye to aadha bhara hai.
Taani just stares him.
Rey - n jaha tak mai tumhe janta hu, tum to negativity me b positivity dhoond leti ho. Just calm ur mind.... n 1 baar shaanti se unhe samjhane ki koshish karo, n agar tab bhi nahi maane to mai khud tumhe 1 nayi n well-trained team dhoond k dunga.
Taani just rests her head on his shoulder.
Taani - how do u do this?
Rey - do what?
Taani - make me understand so easily.
Rey - I'm a professor, complicated cheezo ko simplify kar k samjhana mera kaam hai.
Taani - u r the best professor ever.
Rey - taani shekhawat k mu se taarif, vishwas hi nahi ho raha mujhe.
Taani hits him playfully. Then they have their dinner n fall asleep soon.
Next day.
In college canteen.
Taani - guys, mai bus itna kehne aayi hu... k SOLO team ne har baar negativity me bhi positivity dhoond k nikala hai. Kal mai frustrate hogayi thi qki sports team ne mujhpe trust kar k apna naam cricket me diya. Unhe bharosa hai k mai unhe haarne nahi dungi na unki izzat pe aach aane dungi. But mai ye sab akele nahi kar sakti.... I need my best friends by my side. Tum logo k bina jeetna possible nahi hai. N jeet bhi gaye to wo jeet kisi kaam ki nahi jisme mere friends involved na ho. Think about it n sham tak batana if u guys r in.
She turns to leave but Sarah stops her.
Sarah - taani...
Taani turns to face her.
Sarah - Kal jo bhi maine bola gusse me bola. Tu to janti hai na mujhe.... 2nd taani shekhawat mai hi hu. Gusse pe control nahi rehta mere. I'm sorry... let's play with 200% of dedication n defeat those idiots.
Sarah hugged her tight n they all started hooting. They all had a group hug.
While shivam forwarded his hand. All kept their hands on one another.
All - We said, We did, n We will.
They again had a group hug. From far rey was watching this n smiling. He showed thumbs up to taani n so did taani to rey.
But this scene was seen by shivam n kriya.
They started their practice n studies with full dedication.
They all were now trying to understand the techniques n rules of cricket.
2 weeks later.
All were held at rey's place. N everyone got to know that taani was staying there too.
Taani - kal exam hai.
All were damn nervous.
Rey - guys... mujhe tum sab pe pura bharosa. Kya tum sab ko khud pe bharosa hai?
All - nahi.
Rey - what??!!
All - matlb ha... hai.. hai.
Rey - guys... tum log tension mat lo. I'm sure tum sab 1st class se pass ho jaoge. N ye challenge jeet jaoge.
They all went to their houses, but were studying the whole night.
Taani was in her room, was nervous n wasn't able to sleep due to nervousness.
Rey knew she won't b asleep so he went to check on her.
Rey - soyi nahi abhi tak.
Taani - huh... nahi. Nahi wo neend nahi aa rahi.
Rey - come on taani. Don't stress urself.
Taani - ice-cream khane chale?
Rey - is waqt.
Taani - is waqt ice-cream hi hai jo mera dimag thanda kar sakta hai.
Rey - hmm. Mai gaadi k keys laata hu.
Taani - zarurt nahi. Aj hum mere bike pe jayenge.
Rey - OK then. Let's go.
Taani was cycling while rey was sitting on his back seat.
Taani - u know u r the 2nd person sitting at my back seat.
Rey - pehla kaun tha?
Taani - simba.
Rey - Oo.
Taani - ye bike mere Paa ne mujhe di thi jab mai 9 years ki thi.
Rey - itni badi cycle.
Taani - are nahi. Ise maine modify karwaya hai....
Rey - Oo... alright.
They soon reached near the ice-cream parlour
Taani - kaunsa flavour loge?
Rey - blueberry.
Taani - OK. Just a sec.
She gets a blueberry ice-cream for him n a kulfi n chocolate chip ice-cream for herself.
Rey - tum do khaogi!
Taani - ha... tumhe b 2 ice-cream chahiye.
Rey - nahi. M good.
Taani was having her ice-cream like a kid. It was melting on her face.
Taani - u know.... jab bhi mai nervous hoti hu na to aa k ice-cream kha leti hu. It relaxes my mind.
Rey - hmm. I too feel relaxed. Achha tell me... chhote tumhe bunty qq bulata hai?
Taani - wo... humne 1st movie 1 sath dekhi thi, bunty and babli. Use lagta hai I'm a tomboy isliye babli name mujhpe suit nahi karega, isliye he calls me bunty.
Rey - hmm. That's interesting. N tum use simba qq bulati ho?
Taani - are... qki he loves lion king. Usme prince ka naam simba rehta hai na. N shivam mere liye kisi prince se kam nahi hai. Isliye....
Rey - OK.... do u.... umm... do u love him?
Taani - what!!! R u out of ur mind. No way.... love n relationship Taani Shekhawat k liye nahi bana hai. Yes he is my best friend n on top of everything I'll only choose him. But love.... nae. Vaise bhi he loves someone else.
Rey - yy do u hate love so much.
Taani - mai is topic pe baat karungi to ro dungi. N mujhe kisi k saamne rona pasand nahi hai.
They soon finished their ice-cream. While rey was cleaning her face with his hanky.
They walked home soon n went asleep.
Next day....
Both were caught by cold. They were sneezing n coughing all around.
Taani - Oh god... ye sardi bhi aj hi honi thi.
Rey - all the best taani.
Taani just smiled nervously.
They reached college n soon started with their exam.
This way they cleared all their exams n next week was the match.
All were chitchatting in canteen.
Kriya - 1 tension km hui.
Shivam - next week match hai guys.
All were tensed when rey came with a news.
Rey - guys...
Taani - ab kaunsi buri khabar laye ho?
Rey - kal St. Andrews ki team yaha aa rahi hai. N they'll stay till the day of the match.
Taani - great. Ab isse bura kya ho sakta hai!!
Rey - ho sakta hai.
Taani - what?!
Rey - tum sabko bhi match jab tak khatm nahi hoga yaha k dorms me rehna hoga.
Taani - ye kisne kaha.
Rey - VP sir.
Taani - uski to....
Rey - tum sab ko apna saman le k shaam tk yaha shift hona hai.
They all packed their bags n shifted to college dorms.
GS - Vishesh
Vishesh - guys... m sorry but tum sabko yaha adjust karna padega.
Taani - hmm. Aur ground ka kya hai. Wo bhi hume share karna hoga.
Vishesh - ha taani mam. Maine bahot try kia k unhe dusra ground diya jaye but VP sir nahi maane.
Taani - na jaane kaun se janam ka badla le raha hai ye safedi ki chamkaar. N just call me taani.
Vishesh - but aap mere senior ho. Aap hi ne last year kaha tha, to call u mam.
Taani - u can call me taani now.
Vishesh - OK.
N smiles looking at her, while taani looks at him with weird face.
Vishesh - kal St. Andrews ki team aa jayegi. To aap sab pehli hi ground book karlo, nahi to wo log khelne nahi denge.
Taani - 1 kaam kar.... mrng 7-10 ground humare liye book kar de. Aur ye roz ka routine rahega humara. Agar 7-10 k beech St. Andrews ki team ground pe dikhi, to tu pitega.
Vishesh - OK.
Next day
St. Andrews entered the college. The girls were hot, while boys were drooling on them.
Taani n gang were chilling out in canteen.
Vishesh - guys... St. Andrews r here.
They all rushed to see them.
Taani n gang were shocked to see them. As the girls were really hot n happening while they were rebellious but of course not more than taani.
That is when taani noticed a known face.
Taani - Tu!!!
Boy - Tu!!!!

Swayam - ha, but Delhi branch High School tak hi built hai, isliye Mumbai branch me shift hogaya.
Taani - to fir tu ghar qq nahi aaya. Mujhe bataya qq nahi.... contact qq nahi kiya.
Swayam - qki tu mujhse naraz thi. Mujhe laga tu aur gussa ho jayegi agar tujhe malum pada mai yaha aagaya hu. Isliye hostel me rehne laga....
