Mahira's POV
I walked back to where eveyone was.
"Itni der kya baat kar rahi thi rishu se?", Deepak whispered quietly in my ear.
"Wohi bata rahi hoon.", I said to him first and then turned to everyone "actually guys it was ashwin bhai who wanted to talk, he is leaving IPL to be with his family, so he wanted to say goodbye to me as well.", I told them and everyone was quiet for some time
"That's a good decision. And we all support him in this.", Sonu bhai spoke and everyone nodded. Mahi bhai was sitting quietly as we all know his parents haven't recovered fully yet so to lighten his mood sonu bhai decided to tease me.
"Achha mahira, waise ye rishab tumhare liye rishu kab se ho gaya?", Sonu bhai asked me and I glared at me
"Han bhai main bhi wahi soch raha tha.", Rutu joined them.
"Arey it's just a nickname.", I defended myself.
"Han aise hi start hoti hai cheezien", deepak said and I hit his arm. But my gaze landed on shardul who was sitting very quietly and listening to our conversation. He looked sad, why is he sad?
"Tumhe bohot pata hai kaise hoti hai, tumhe kisne nickname diya hua hai?", I turned to deepak.
"Bataunga araam se kabhi.", He said and everyone chuckled. I guess they all know, so this idiot is taken.
"Mahi bhai shardul ko kya hua?", I asked him quietly.
"Pata nahi. You ask.", He said and I glared at him. I had never in my life thought that I will be so close to Mahi bhai that he will tease me.
"Chhoro!", I rolled my eyes and he giggled.
"Kya khusur phusur ho rahi hai dono bhai behen ke beech?", Sonu bhai came and wrapped his arms around both of us.
"Just brother sister talks. Tujhe kyu bataun?", Mahi bhai said and I wrapped my hand around his elbow.
"Thik hai thik hai.", He gave us a fake hurt look.
"Bhai main jaati hoon sone nidhyana bhi mera wait kar rahi hogi.", I said and got up.
"Nidhana? Ya rishu?", Deepak said and I glared at him.
"Seriously you guys are just overhyping.", I said.
"We aren't even hyping tum hi itni pareshan ho rahi ho.", Deepak said.
"Kyuki tumlog pareshan kar rahe ho use.", Shardul said and he looked a little angry. I backed him there
"Exactly shardul is right!", I said and he smiled at me.
"I just said 'rishu', baki tum sab assume kar rahe ho.", Deepak said raising his hands in defense and I smiled finally, I couldn't control, I wasn't really annoyed of getting teased by his name.
"I am leaving.", I said, blushing a bit. Mahi bhai was looking at me.
"Han guys let's all sleep now.", Sonu bhai said and everyone hummed, they are all sleepy I guess. A chain of good nights followed and everyone was walking to there rooms. Nidhyana came running to me and we both said good night to bhabhi, her room was in the opposite corridor. I picked Nidhyana up and went to my room. I didn't lock the gate and went to bathroom.
"Nidhs I'll just be back hn!", I said and she nodded, she was watching cartoons on my phone.
When I came out after freshing up she wasn't alone. Shardul was there with her and both of them were engrossed in my phone.
