Kashish in action

Arnav, sensing the energy of the crowd, played with renewed confidence. He hit a boundary, and then another, and the crowd went wild.

Finally, with just one ball left to play, Arnav hit a six, securing his team's victory. The stadium erupted in a frenzy of cheers and applause as Khushi leapt onto her feet, screaming with joy.

Arnav's teammates lifted him onto their shoulders, cheering, and Khushi rushed onto the field, her poster held high. Arnav grinned, his eyes shining with happiness, and swept Khushi into a tight hug.

"We did it, Khushi! We won!" he exclaimed, his voice hoarse from shouting.

Khushi beamed, her eyes sparkling with tears. "I knew you could do it, Arnav! You're the best!"

Khushi loved being a part of Arnav's cricket world. She loved the thrill of the game, the rush of adrenaline as the players took to the field. And she loved watching Arnav in his element, his passion and dedication to the game inspiring her to pursue her own passion.

She was always there to encourage him, to offer words of comfort when he was feeling down, and to celebrate his victories with him.

And Arnav, in turn, was always there for Khushi, supporting her through thick and thin, and being a rock for her to lean on whenever she needed it. Their bond had grown stronger with time, a testament to the power of true friendship.

Kashish on the other hand was closely following up Arnav's growth. She was calculating things in her mind.

Kashish watched Arnav's rise to cricket stardom with great interest. She had always known that Arnav was talented, but she had never imagined that he would become so successful so quickly.

Kashish's eyes narrowed as she thought about Arnav's rapid rise to fame. She had always believed that she was the talented one, the one destined for greatness. But now, as she watched Arnav bask in the adoration of the crowd, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

Why was Arnav getting all the attention? Why was he the one being hailed as a cricket sensation? Kashish's mind whirled with questions and doubts, her competitive spirit stirring to life.

She watched as Khushi congratulated Arnav on his win, the two of them laughing and smiling together. Kashish's eyes flashed with resentment. Why was Khushi always so close to Arnav? Why did she get to be a part of his cricket world?

Kashish's thoughts were interrupted by her mother's voice. "Kashish, beta, let's go home. We don't want to get stuck in the traffic." Kashish nodded, her eyes never leaving Arnav's triumphant figure on the field.

As they walked away from the stadium, Kashish's mind was already racing with plans and strategies. She had always felt overshadowed by Khushi, who seemed to effortlessly charm everyone around her. But now, with Arnav's success, Kashish saw an opportunity to finally get the attention and admiration she felt she deserved.

Kashish began to calculate her next move, thinking about how she could use Arnav's success to her advantage. She started attending more of his matches, making sure to sit in prominent seats where she could be seen. She also began to flirt shamelessly with Arnav, making sure to keep herself in the spotlight.

Arnav, oblivious to Kashish's schemes, continued to focus on his cricket career. But Khushi, who had always been sensitive to Kashish's moods, couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She noticed the way Kashish was always lurking around Arnav, the way she seemed to be watching his every move. And she couldn't help but wonder what Kashish was up to.

Khushi's eyes narrowed as she watched Kashish flirt with Arnav, her smile seeming to grow wider and more fake by the minute. Khushi had always known that Kashish was jealous of her close relationship with Arnav, but she had never thought that Kashish would stoop to using Arnav's success to get attention for herself.

As the days went by, Khushi found herself growing more and more uneasy around Kashish. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Kashish was waiting for the perfect moment to strike, to do something that would ruin Khushi's friendship with Arnav.

One day, as Khushi was walking home from school, she saw Kashish waiting for her outside the gates. Kashish's eyes seemed to gleam with a sinister light, and Khushi felt a shiver run down her spine.

"Hey, Khushi," Kashish said, her voice dripping with sweetness. "I've been looking for you. I wanted to talk to you about Arnav."

Khushi's instincts told her to be wary, but she tried to keep an open mind. "What about Arnav?" she asked, trying to sound casual.

Kashish's smile grew wider. "Oh, I just think it's so great that he's doing so well in cricket. Don't you?"

Khushi nodded, feeling a sense of unease. There was something about Kashish's tone that didn't seem quite right.

Kashish spoke "I am 16 now and I am planning to date Arnav. Just wanted you to know and I want you to be away from him."

Khushi's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Kashish. "What? You can't be serious!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with anger.

Kashish's smile grew even wider, her eyes glinting with a malicious light. "Oh, I'm completely serious, Khushi. Arnav is a catch, and I'm not going to let anyone - especially not you - stand in my way."

Khushi felt a surge of indignation. How could Kashish even think of trying to date Arnav, let alone telling Khushi to stay away from him? Didn't Kashish know that Khushi and Arnav were just friends?

"You can't just tell me to stay away from Arnav," Khushi said, her voice firm. "He's my friend, and I'm not going to abandon him just because you've decided you want to date him."

Kashish's smile faltered for a moment, but then she regained her composure. "We'll see about that, Khushi," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "I always get what I want, and I'm not going to let you stand in my way."

Khushi decides to ignore Kashish's talk as she did not want disturb Arnav with unwanted thoughts. The day of the Under-19 Indian World Cup team announcement had finally arrived, and everyone was eagerly waiting to see if Arnav would make the cut, despite being close to 17 years old.

As the news spread like wildfire, fans and supporters of Indian cricket held their breaths, hoping to see Arnav's name on the list. The Indian Under-19 team had a rich history of producing talented young cricketers, having won the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup many times.

As the clock ticked closer to the announcement time, the excitement and anticipation grew. Would Arnav's dream of representing India in the Under-19 World Cup come true? Only time would tell.

Arnav calls Khushi as he feels if she comes to his house he might have a chance. Dada and Dadi tease him.

Khushi's heart skipped a beat as she received the call from Arnav. "Hey, Khushi! I need you to come over to my place right now," Arnav said, his voice laced with excitement and nervousness.

Khushi's curiosity was piqued. "What's going on, Arnav? You sound really anxious."

Arnav took a deep breath. "The Under-19 team announcement is today, and I have a feeling that if you're here with me, I'll get selected."
