At night:
Mahira's POV:
After we all descended back to our rooms and I knew what I had to do. A certain someone is apparently mad at me, so I gotta deal with him first. He had even left me on seen.
I called him, expecting him to not pick up but he did, in the first ring itself.
"Hi rishu!", I said in the sweetest voice.
"Hmm.", He said plainly.
"Abhi bhi naraz ho?", I asked him.
"Han.", He said.
"I'm sorry rishu.", I said, in the cutest way I could imagine.
"Tumhe pata hai main zyada der tumse naraz nahi reh sakta. Fayda mat uthao iska.", He said and I smiled to myself. I just love how sweet he is.
"Arey agar mazak nahi karungi to dost kaise right? Par thik hai tumhe nahi pasand to abse nahi karungi.", I told him.
"Nahi nahi, karna, chalo let's forgive and forget, I'm also sorry.", He said and I laughed.
We spoke for some more time and he then let me sleep because he knew it has been a tiring day for me.
After a few days:
It has been a roller coaster ride tbh, I was back at my place now and things were going smooth, I didn't even realise when my holidays half ended and now only 12 days are left for me to join Team India in England. I'm gonna meet a few more people who I haven't properly met during IPL, and a lot of people who I was really close to won't be there. But nevertheless, I am always open to change and I'm glad to start this journey with team india finally. People here have started giving me a celebrity treatment because of my association with ICT. And everyone is pinging me to meet them, only my favourite people will get that privilege ofc.
The squad for WTC is- Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Hanuma Vihari, Wriddhiman Saha, Umesh Yadav. One thing I know for sure is that I'm gonna miss Mahi Bhai a lot. Even deepak and Shardul, Ishan, Hardik bhai.
Today was another normal day at my place, we cousins were having a movie marathon tonight. I was in the terrace room with everyone watching 'Conjuring 3', when I heard my mom calling me from downstairs.
"Mahira!", Her voice was audible enough, because it was 11:45, and there was silence all around except for the movie ofc.
"Yes mumma!", I said getting out of the room and peeking down from the staircase.
"Tumhare kisi friend ka call hai.", She said.
I ran downstairs to fetch my phone.
"Kaun hai?", I said walking to her.
"Rishab.", She said.
Rishab's POV:
I was eagerly waiting to talk to my mahira, she is such a source of happiness in these quarantine days, it has become a habit that every night we talk and tell each other about our day. But she didn't call me for so late, I decided to call her. I called and someone picked up, a slight elderly female voice greeted me.
"Hello.", She said and I sure recognised this is not mahira.
"Mahira?", I asked.
"Nahi bete wo to yahan nahi hai. Koi zaruri kaam hai kya?", That person asked me, I wondered who she is.
