I felt really guilty for ended my other fan fictions so I decided to write this as an apology. It is a very simple short story, and is a one-shot. We all know how Sharad and Divyanka really love SRK and Kajol. So I am writing this as, I suppose a parody of kuch kuch hota hai. There aren't much changes, just the time and place has been a bit altered. Just enjoy.
"You're late, again" she said stretching the last word as he entered the basketball court with a smirk on his face. He walked with so much arrogance and so much pride that it made her madder. She hated waking up in the morning to play basketball with him, only to end up waiting an hour for him. It was now a routine for him, to make her wait. However she knew it was worth it and it was most definitely worth beating him in basketball. "I woke up late" he answered simply as he walked over to the basketball rack picking a basketball up and bouncing it over to her. "You wake up late everyday Sharad" she corrected him, giving him daggers as he walked up to her. "Or could it be Miss Divyanka that you just wake up too early?" He chuckled a bit at his retort that seemed to shush her up but then he looked in her eyes just to see that fire building in them. "Yeah right, you come late. I know why you come late though" she started as she snatched the basketball away from him. "Yes Divyanka why do I come late" he rolled his eyes and waited for her to continue, he obviously was amused. "You come late because you are afraid, afraid that you'll lose again" she poked him with her finger after each word. His face became sour and he let out another chuckle "Sharad Malhotra is never scared of anyone or anything." This time it was her, who laughed. "Well then are you ready to get your butt kicked in basketball this morning again, or what?" "We will see." "I'm being nice Sharad, I'll let you start first" she said handing him the basketball.
He started dribbling the ball away from her making sure to block her. He smiled as he noticed her struggling to get the ball away from him. He ran over to the net dribbling, as he got ready to shoot the ball into the net he noticed that the ball was gone. Standing on the other side of the court was Divyanka with a smile on her face. He groaned as she ran to the basketball net and shot the ball in. He had to try harder or he'd lose again and he was tired of losing to her every day. He didn't even know why he played with her though, he always did lose but then again he always had so much fun whether he'd admit it or not. She resumed the game again; she had possession over the ball. She blocked him very well and yet again got another shot. The game went on forever the score 22-16 with Vidya leading. Sagar had the ball this time and he started to dribble to the net, he tried his best with Vidya coming after him like a cougar. He readied his shot again but all he could throw into the net was air, she did it again. He groaned again, not being able to bear that she was going to win, yet again. He ran over to her just before she was going to shoot and pushed her down. He quickly grabbed the basketball and shot it into the net. She got up slowly from the cold ground and screamed. He turned around to face her to see that she was up in his face and pulling his beautiful hair. "Cheater!" "I am not a cheater" he tried to defend himself. He grabbed her hands away from his hair, but she just pulled harder. He gave up trying to stop her and joined in her game. He grabbed to pull her short cut hair but she kicked him in his shins and backed off. "If you can't play don't cheat" she was frustrated with him and he heard that frustration in her voice. "Don't call me a cheater" he said pointing his finger at her, she just ignored him. "You are a cheater, cheater, cheater!" "Then I'm going" he threatened as he walked toward the door. "I'm going too" she retorted walking to the opposite direction but before walking out, they both ran into the middle of the court and yelled in sync "shut up!"
"I don't get you Divyanka, you and Sharad are best friends but you fight like cats and dogs" a random girl said taking a seat by Divyanka at the lunch table. "Yeah, enough of this fighting, go and say sorry to him" another random person said, this time a boy. "But you guys" she whined, she was not in the mood to talk to him. This happened quite a lot though, they fought almost every day and she always knew what happened in the end, they always apologized and remained good friends. It was a cycle that you couldn't stop sort of like the water cycle. "But he is your best friend" the boy said. "Okay" she said giving up and giving in. She got up from her lunch table and looked towards the table where Sharad sat, he was wearing his hideous white specs, that he thought made him look hot.
Meanwhile
"Oh come on Sharad, this isn't healthy. The two of you are always fighting." Sharad ignored the comment as he continued to eat his lunch, every now and then checking out a hot girl that walked passed his table. "Yeah, just say sorry to her" someone suggested, as he took a bite of his apple. "No" he answered simply, "Sharad Malhotra does not apologize." Someone at his table laughed "yeah but you do apologize to Divyanka." Sharad crumpled up his napkin and through it at the boy who said that. "But she is your best friend though" and that is when he gave up, he let out a heavy sigh. He got up and started walking her way.
The two of them approached each other as their small groups followed after them. Divyanka walked up to him and smiled at him and he couldn't help but to smile back. "Friends?" she asked, "friends" he replied. He leaned in for a hug and she obliged glad to have a friend like him. She released and let her hands out in front of her so that they could do their little hand shake. She giggled as they did their handshake and hugged him again.
Divyanka laughed remembering those memories. She and Sharad had been friends since college and it was strange to see him all of a sudden grown up at her summer camp. They were separated for 11 years and 11 years is a long time. She had left college in the middle of the semester because of her mother and father. That wasn't the only reason, she fell in love with Sharad, who fell in love with the new girl, Gauri. She couldn't manage being around him so she agreed to her mother's offer of coming home. She had changed a lot in that time; she changed from being a tom boy into a woman. She no longer played basketball; instead she cooked and wore saris. Sharad didn't change much though, he married Gauri like she had expected and had a kid, but what she didn't expect was that Gauri died. He was lonely for who knows how long and didn't even have his best friend so support him. His daughter had come to her camp with her grandma only so that her Sharad would follow and meet Divyanka again, hoping that they would fall in love and get married. However at the time she was engaged to Samrat, but then at the day of their wedding, they somehow ended up together. Everything just fell into place and her wish came true, the wish that she made years ago to be with Sharad.
She looked at him sleep, with drool coming out of his mouth and his light snoring. She loved being with him and she loved being his wife. She knew that somehow they were meant to be together, and that god had given her a second chance for her first love and given Sharad a second chance to fall in love again. "I love you" she whispered as she moved some of his hair from his face.
