Mahira's POV:
I was back in Mumbai, cheering for my CSK. The innings started, and so did Ruturaj and Faf. Rutu won't be disappointed of himself anymore. He created a humongous score of 64. And faf, oh Faf, 95*, I wish he got to complete his centure. We even had the Mahi maar raha hai moment. Mahi bhai smashed one six and two fours. And Jaddu bhai ended the game with a six. It was one of the best matches yet.
Kkr batting was a flop. Openers didn't do anything. But. Then came russel,cummins and Karthik. But fortunately early wickets helped. And we were able to take wickets of entire team. Therefore winning the match.
After the post production work, I ran towards the dressing room. And as soon as I entered I was engulfed in a hug. A very tight hug.
"Thankyou mahira.", That person whispered in my ear and I knew who it is.
"Rutu!", I said adoringly.
"You have no idea how much talking to you helped.", He said backing off, but he still hasn't left me.
"I should be thanking you my friend.", I said to him. And indeed I was thankful. For the memories and for being a match winner tonight.
"Rutu, you are stinking, kyu bechari ko behosh karna chahta hai.", Deepak said making both of us laugh.
"You were also amazing tonight deeps.", I said and he winked.
Next I knew who I had to meet, Faf.
"Congratulations Faf!", I hugged him.
"Thanks little one.", He said hugging me back. Thankfully he has changed his jersey.
"You are so amazing faf, who even adviced you to retire from tests?", I asked him.
"Haha. Chill. You'll get to see me play for my CSK always.", He said with the cutest smile. I legit can't believe he is 37.
"Main bhi hoon", mahi bhai said from behind and how I could I ever forget him. Today was my first 'MSD show' from the stadium itself.
"Mahi bhai!", I ran and wrapped my arms around his shoulder.
"Itni jaldi to out ho gaya!" He said laughing.
"We still love you. I was waiting for this since forever", I said and he ruffled my hair planting a kiss on my forehead.
"Shardul se baat karlo, wo thora disappointed hai apne performance se.", He said to me very quietly and I widened my eyes.
"Aap baat karo.", I glared at him. Why is he doing this?
"Arey tumhara dost hai na. Jao.", He said and I couldn't say no. Kya karte ho mahi bhai.
I went in where shardul was.
"Hey shar!", I said side hugging him. He looked at me with a smile.
"Hi.", He said quietly.
"You are still Lord Shardul Thakur. Chill." I said and pulled him along with me, we both walked out and deepak took him somewhere, thankfully. I went and sat next to mahi Bhai.
"Kahan zyada sad tha wo!", I said very softly.
"Tum gayi na manane!", He said looking here and there.
"Kuch bhi!", I shrugged.
"Seriously Mahira, mujhe lagta hai. Tum dono aapas me baat karo.", He said to me.
"Kya baat? Kaun dono?", Jaddu bhai heard and I head palmed.
"Ye aur Sakshi. Thailand ki trip plan kar rahi hai dono, mere through communicate karte hue. Maine kaha aapas me baat karlo.", He said covering up and I thanked him mentally. Ofc he had to do that, because of him only jaddu bhai heard.
"Achha! Abhi mili bhi nahi ho usse aur mujhe exclude karke trips plan kiye ja rahe hai!", Riva bhabi said and I gritted my teeth.
"Not fair mahira.", Mahi bhai said. Wow mahi bhai.
"Arey I haven't even spoken to her directly. Hum abhi mahi bhai ke through hi baat kar rahe hai bas. Hum dono ne bhi baat ki thi ek all girls trip ke baare me. Yaad karo", I defended myself.
"Yes bachcha yaad hai.", She said cupping my chin.
"Aap aisa karoge to kaise chalega bhai?", I whispered to mahi bhai.
"Main kuch nahi kar raha hoon. Mujhe blame mat karo. Just look at the way he looks at you.", He said looking at Shardul.
"Bhai, but I dont feel anything na.", I said and he nodded.
"Dekh beta, even I am not sure. But I haven't seen him behave like this kabhi bhi. I just want ki it should he clear between you both because main dekhta hoon tum thori hesitant ho jati ho uske sath. Bas main chahta hoon ki aisi koi situation arise na ho jisme meri pyari si behen uncomfortable ho.", He explained and I was so touched by the concern he holds for me.
"Bhai I understand. But no point talking about this now right. I can't ask him just aise hi, aur uski taraf se bhi aisa koi step nahi liya usne to it's fine. Main uncomfortable nahi hoon.", I clarified to him.
"Thik hai.", He said and my phone popped up with a notification from Jio. Huh. But that led to Mahi Bhai seeing my lock screen which was a picture with him.
"This is my newest favourite picture.", I told him and he looked at me with an adorable smile.
"Wait main aur photos show karti hoon apko.", I said and opened my gallery. I showed him all the pictures from last night of DC and MI's match, all the pictures that I took with everyone and evem told him about the little nuisances that happened and how fun it was, but I did not realise that there was also a video in which first the camera shows the pasta and then Rishu who was sitting with the pasta. Not that I mind showing him, it just came as a surprise.
"Rishu se bhi tumhari achhi friendship ho gayi na?", He asked looking at that video.
"Haan. He is very sweet, abhi tak to aapke baad I'm the closest to him only.", I told him and he nodded.
"Tang to nahi karta na tumhe?", He asked me.
"Bilkul bhi nahi. I'm to shocked ke how people say he is very mischievous and all. He is the complete opposite with me, so caring and gentle and cautious.", I explained, he really is different with me.
"That's a good thing na. Tang kare to batana mujhe.", He said making me laugh.
"Bilkul. Aap ke paas hi aaungi complain leke.", I said and he laughed.
Another amazing night with my CSK family.
