Thousand Miles Apart

An international call from a drunken stranger of 8517 miles apart to the most popular and the hottest football captain of the Newcastle football team, California. Two different continents, but one call leads them to endless secret conversations, midnight jokes, sarcastic comments, family dramas, and of course a new feeling arose within each other and there's probably no going back. What could possibly go wrong? ~~~~ ~ Eshana, a 21-year-old girl, was trapped by the idea of a marriage arranged by her parents without her knowledge to a millionaire. Later that night, her parents decide to surprise her with their decision, causing her to collapse. Eshana, who is heartbroken, decides to go to a bar where she gets drunk and plans to call her brother, who is currently working in the United States. However, due to her dizziness, she dials the wrong number. ~ On the other side of the world is Zachary Ashford, the most popular and hottest football captain of the Newcastle Football team, California. He was getting dressed for a party when he received a phone call from an unknown number. He picked up the phone after some reluctance and was amused by what the person on the other end of the line was saying. ........ ❝Bro! Our p- *hiccups* -parents are arranging my marriage with a danger. I don't want to, m-mary! They say it's for busyness... tell them not t-*hiccups* -to do that. Why are you still not back from the USA?❞ *sobs* ❝uh...

Eshana :

"Hey"

Zach :

"....."

Eshana :

"I'm sorry I'm unable to receive your phone call. It's either I'm busy or sleeping or not interested in hearing from you. So, kindly leave the message after a beep."

Zach :

"...H-hey Ana. It's been

4 freaking days since I've not heard from you. Did I do something wrong or are you genuinely busy? If I've done something.. or anything wrong, please let me know but don't do this *sniff*

d-don't ignore me, p-please. It's been more than a month since we've been talking and now it's just so hard to sleep without talking to you. I don't know what we are right now. Friends or phone buddies? Best friend or whatever it is but please don't stop talking to me." *sob*

Eshana :

"..."

Zach :

"... I just... today is not the day I like. It's just *sniff*... today it's my grandpa's death anniversary. He was the only one I was close to, the most. He was my strength, my inspiration, and everything. The day God decided to take him away, I lost it all. I was lost, so lost that I began pushing people away. I hurt myself as well as others too. On this day I used to always lock myself in my room and remember those memories but today I wished to talk to you. But it's fine. I-I... It's alright. I just hope you're alright Ana. I don't want to bore you with all my stories. I just wish I could talk to you again. How I wish–"
