What the heck??

A cricket division on the Korean Sports Academy?

Is this some kind of fraud?

It has the official seal of the KSA.

"What is it? Is there something wrong?"

"Aah... Hey sis, is this the official Stamp of KSA?"

"Ksa? What's KSA?"

"Korean Sports Association."

"HUH??? You have to be joking. That Elite Sports academy that has a monthly Fees of 1 Million Won? There's no way you-"

"Just tell me is this real or not."

The moment she looked at the seal she couldn't believe her eyes.

She knew a truck load of stuff related to general knowledge.

Like me from my previous life she wants to become a Military officer.

Which makes me proud as an ex Army officer.

She waited for a bit as she answered.

"It's legitimate."

"I see. I can't believe this. They actually have a Cricket Department now."

"I checked it and it's newly been appointed by he new Head of KSA Mrs Kae Yeong."

"Mother."

"WHAT??? Kae Yeong... That's..."

"What happened? Honey, don't tell me that's your..."

"Ex wife."

He answered swiftly.

"No... Way. Don't tell me, she actually did all this for her..."

"She doesn't care about me. She's all about profit and loss. She probably saw just how big a market cricket has. And, how much people are willing to pay for it. She probably found a new business idea."

"Son... She's a teacher. She's not a businesswomen."

My dad exclaimed.

I babbled whatever came to my mind because I couldn't understand why... Someone who left us because of my obsession with cricket...

Go as far as to create a while damn department of cricket in the most prestigious Academy.

Yes, it's true... My mother wanted me to become a doctor but I didn't want to do that and wanted to play cricket.

What started as an argument dragged my parents into the message and caused them to break up.

I didn't think... My stubborness could lead to that. That was probably the first time I decided to give up on cricket. After that, today was the 2nd.

So, why would my mom... Do this?

Was this the entire reason why she became the principal of KSA.

What would happen of her job if people realised of this fact.

"What do... I do."

"Go."

"..."

It was my stepmom who answered.

"I said go. It's your once in a lifetime opportunity. I got more than 100 Million Won from the production company for each episode of The series.

It's barely 10 Million a Month, I and your father can cover the costs."

"The cost... It's said at the bottom that my Central contract will cover it."

"Central Contract?"

"I was supposed to get 2 Million every month after I came under the grade D level of the central Contract."

"You... Didn't tell us??"

"Well, I thought I did... I guess I only told you about the cash prize. Though, I haven't been getting any for the past 3 Months. It was just the first month so I thought I was probably sacked."

*Ring Ring*

A notification apperdd on my phone.

It was a little busted up but I couldn't repair it since I didn't have the money to spare

So I've been using it since.

Hmm... What's this?

[60000000 credited into your account by Ac No *****KCA]

Total Balance 60807303.02]

I was afraid of not being able to make it past this month but damn... That money came in just in time.

Am I glad to have gotten this money.

Maybe, I should but myself and iphone too. Since it appears everyone has one now.

Haa... It's refreshing to know that my stepmom cares about me but it's just that sad to know that she hated me before.

Whoever you are fellow Indian I appreciate your Help.

It seems you came as a life saver just in time.

"So... What did you decide?"

My father asked me.

"I don't care about what he thinks. But, I believe it's the perfect opportunity for him to go. I'll take care of whatever you need. Now that I make a lot of money, I know I can take care of you."

"Stepmom."

"But on one condition."

Even if it's paying you back 10 fold I'll do it.

"You gadda become famous, so famous that your dad, me, my daughter and most of all your mother and the entire korean society. I want you to prove then wrong. I want you to Make cricket popular In korea. I want you to be the first star of Korean Cricket. That's all."

I could maybe pay you 10 fold but how am I supposed to make cricket popular in korea?

Even if I play great. I can't guarantee an increase in popularity.

"I'll try my best."

All it takes is 1 world cup to make it popular in Korea.

Haa... Winning the world cup already?

Just moments ago I was in the verge of giving up and now look at me...

I... Can play...

I can... Play on that 22 yards pitch again.

I can play in that ground again.

I can bat, Keep and maybe even captain my side to victory someday.

But... Most of all...

I can play cricket again.

*Sob... Sob... Sob..."

"Hey..."

"Big bro."

"Son."

*Uwaaaaaaaaa"

...

I cried so much, I felt like I've taken care of 2 generations of sadness right there.

I can't even cry anymore.

I sent an email back with the letter number, Name, address, and other details.

Just 1 hour after sending the Email, I got a reply.

[Welcome to KSA.]

I'M BACK BITCHES.
