Nelson's POV:
"I texted her, she is on her way", I told uncle over the call.
"And Sarif will be picking you both up. Have lunch at his house then you both can leave for New Delhi."
"Yes, uncle."
There was a pause before he said, "And Nelson?"
"Yes?"
"You are doing a great job, son. Just don't disappoint me, I trust you."
"During these few days just try to keep her mind away from Asher", he added.
"Uncle...umm...you are saying as if you want me to romanticize her and make her forget about Asher", I said softly.
"You have my permission to do that though..."
"No!", I shouted but then quickly composed myself, "I mean...no, that's not possible. Let's not talk about that."
"Okay. Everything is going really good, we just need him to mess up somewhere somehow."
"I have a feeling that he is going to mess up somehow. We just need to be careful and grab that opportunity."
"Yes. And one last thing."
"Yes?"
"Take care of Ella or else I'll take care of you", he said in an intimidating tone.
I took a deep breath. "I will."
"Good. Update me later about today."
"Okay, uncle. Bye."
"Bye."
I sighed heavily. Four days with her.
If I make out of this without crying even once, then I would be really proud of myself.
She already gave me a ten minutes lecture regarding dragging her along with me. As if it was my plan.
We won the ODI series though, against India, in India. That's a huge achievement for me.
(A/N: No offense to India😅)
My team left already yesterday only and I stayed back to execute uncle and dad's plan.
Keep Ella away from Asher.
The room's doorbell rang and I went to it and looked through the peeping hole to see Ella standing there.
I opened the door for her. "Welcome to India, Resf!"
"Very funny", she said moving past me inside and I closed the door.
"Uncle Sarif said he will reach here in around fifteen minutes", she told me. And went and laid down on the bed.
"I seriously can't believe that you managed to drag me along with you, like seriously?!", she said again.
"I think we already had this conversation a few days back."
"And I will keep speaking about it till we get home!"
"You are gonna enjoy, Resf."
"The hell I will!" She sprang up and sat up straight.
"Calm down! I am not murdering you or something!"
"Who knows, you might murder me!"
"You know what, my jet is still at the airport, board it and you can go back right now."
"Oh, really? That's awesome! Because I had a perfect week planned out with Asher and you just fucking ruined it!"
She turned around and moved towards the door. The moment she opened it to step out, I closed it again and turning her around backed her up against the door.
