"Don't you think he is being over-friendly??"

Asked Karan with his eyebrows raising in synchronisation as he eyed Harry who was at a distance in the girls area, playing volleyball with them laughing and grinning.

"Who? The bowler?", Asked Aman wondering, looking at the bowler who was waiting for them to end their conversation so he could bowl the final 2 deliveries of the match.

"No, Harry!!" Karan shook his head signalling towards Harry from his eyebrows gazing behind Aman who turned looking back at the girls section where played Harry all alone with the girls. Facepalming himself, rubbing his eyelids in disbelief, Aman turned giving karan an "Are you for real?" Kind of gaze asking

"Oyeeee, bhootni ke, idhar dekh le!! Udhar kya dekh raha hai?? (Oyeeee, Male Ghoul, Look here, what the hell are you looking there??", Karan was taken aback by the sudden hoarse voice of Aman who sounded furious, and how would he not??

At last they were in between the cricket match, and were stood with bats in their hand amidst the pitch to exchange some final words before facing the last two balls of the match, and here the mister was busy gazing Harry.

"Haan, haan", Karan replied turning his attention back towards Aman who gave him a look before releasing a sigh speaking

"See, Last 2 balls are remaining, and just 2 runs are required, I'll try hitting a boundary but be ready to run anytime!"

Aman sounded serious extending his hand for a fist bump which was completed by Karan, hitting his fist on his gently, nodding in understanding he moved back to the bowler's end, but his attention somewhere still remained on Harry who could be seen clearly from where he stood.

Watching the bowler approach his run up to bowl, Karan was about to shift his attention back to the game but then his eyes was caught by Harry who quit playing with the girls moving towards Aditi, stood far from him making Karan eyes go narrow to slits as he bit his lower lips smouldering.

His grip on the bat tightening as he watched ignoring the calls of Aman who was asking him to run continuously but was he stood there like a statue with his head turned to his left and came out of his trance only when Aman reached next to him yelling at the top of his throat

"Kkkkaaaaaaaa--rrrruuuuuuunnnnn"

Startled at the ear piercing sound, Karan flinched looking around panicked and all he could see was an enraged Aman pointing at the batsmens end again and again as he yelled with his mouth wide open but he could hear none as his ears went insensitive for some seconds making him blink his eyes in confusion as he stood dumb having no idea what was going on.

And just then the realisation dawned upon him looking at the bowler and all the fielders pointing towards that one guy who had ball in his hand signalling him to throw it towards the keeper making Karan eyes go wide and in no second he started running towards the other end as fast as he could.

"Ye harayega.. pakka harayega ye!! (He's gonna make us lose today, definitely we are losing this)", Aman groaned facepalming rubbing his hand over his temple before turning back his attention to karan who dived at the very last second entering the crease preventing the run out from happening.

"Out hai!! Out hai!! (It's out! It's out!!!)"

Yelled the bowler in excitement only to get silenced by Aman who asked tightening his gloves on his hand

"Phir se bolna zara, kon out hai?? (Tell me once again, who's out??)"

Aman eyed up giving him that murderous look making him and the fielders around shut their mouth instantly, not wanting to run into his nerves well aware of his temper issues and how wild can he go when furious.
