DC vs SRH.
Mahira's POV:
Today's evening match was in Chennai and I didn't go to Chennai,ofc,double header so had to stay with CSK. we were working from home tonight. Tonight was the last match of Chepauk. And so, hardly anyone went. Tomorrow we will be leaving for Ahmedabad for next two matches and this one day break was nice, I kind of missed meeting Rishab though. He is just such a sweet soul and makes me feel so safe around him. I really enjoy his company and I regret not being there to meet him tonight. Not that it would bother him ofcourse, he won't even acknowledge me not being there, but I have actually started liking his company a lot.
It was a really interesting match, ended with a super over and ofc DC won. My rishu finished the match with a four.
Wait wait wait. Why did I call him MY Rishu? Just forget it Mahira, slip of thoughts.
Anyways, so Rishu finished it with a four and I was very happy, even though them winning meant a threat to CSK, because those two teams were dominating the tournament. Still, my CSK was on top and it was a very happy. And did you all hear about my latest habit? These days every night I am watching The Vampire Diaries after coming home till late night and not sleeping on time. Covid has really done a number on my day to day schedule.
And just as usual, after the match was over, I quietly switched on my TV with a big chocolate ice cream box, and continued with my Season 3, episode 7.
Oh, it's the episode of Masquerade Ball. Yayy.
Rishab's POV:
After finishing the match I couldn't wait to meet my Mahira again. As usual I waited for some time before rushing to where she usually is. I did not see her during the match tonight, but nevertheless, I wouldn't have paid enough attention.
I ran upstairs and was greeted by Saurav Dada.
"Arey Rishab. Tum yahan?", He asked me and I didn't know what to say to him. Being honest always works, so.....
"Aapse milne aara tha. Aur Mahira.", I covered up a bit, but hey, I did want to meet him as well.
"Well tum thore lucky nikle ki I'm here tonight because ofcourse last match of this stadium to I had work. But Mahira didn't come Rishab. She stayed back in Mumbai, with her CSK family.", He said and I felt my heart sank. I got a very bad feeling, like when you were waiting to meet someone since two days, and that person isn't there. There was a clearly visible frown on my face. But I don't blame her, I completely understand, CSK is her priority. And she chose to stay with her team and that's absolutely fine by me.
I went back to our dressing room after a chat with dada. And convinced everyone to come back hotel soon. And trust me when I say this, everyone, literally everyone was waiting for Mahira to come and meet, but I told them that she isn't here. Such a social butterfly she is.
At the hotel:
I quickly changed into comfortable clothes after taking a shower and didn't even text her tonight because then I had to wait for a reply, I just called her immediately.
She didn't pick up the first time and I got worried. Is she okay? She said that she lives alone.
I called again.
Did not pick up.
I didn't know what to do.I kind of started panicking because iPhone ringtone can even make a dead person rise from their grave, to if she was sleeping she would have picked up.
