Match Day:
Mahira's POV:
It was 23rd finally,the match was on NZ's favour, we had almost lost this match. Kane Williamson was again, captain leading from the front, scoring 52 even runs he managed to take his team to.victory, it was galat time in England even though the end wasn't expected. I will be going back with a lots of memories.
After the post match presentation and everything, everyone was back to the hotel and we welcomed them with cheerful faces and hugs. They were disappointed and looked very sad. Within fraction of minutes everyone was back in there rooms. I knew who I had to be with. I went to his room and the door was open, rishu was sitting on the bed like a cute teddy. I went to him and hugged him, he didn't hug me back as he usually does but nestled his face in my neck.
"We're so sorry, to you, and to the 140 crore Indians who were looking up to us.", He said in a sorrowful voice, I could do anything to make him smile now.
"We love you all still.", I said with a huge smile and he looked at me finally.
"We could've done better yaar. Kash mahi bhai hote.", He said, and not gonna lie, it hit me hard.
"Knowing mahi bhai, he would be very proud of you all, you all gave them a tough fight.", I said. Ofc mahi bhai would be proud.
"I miss him too much on these days. He legit used to flip the match from behind the stumps, batting to karne ki zarurat bhi nahi padti.", He said and indeed how true his words were, rishu has a huge responsibility to fulfill, stepping on mahi bhai's shoes isn't easy, i know he has a lot of burden on his shoulders.
"Rishu, do you think mahi bhai thinks any less of you? You have done an amazing job till now, and you will do it always.", I said and he had a small smile on his face.
"Go freshen up, I'll get us something to eat.", I said and he nodded.
"Jaldi aana.", He said and I nodded, walking out of the door. I went out and ordered food for us, two burgers and coke, he can skip his diet today, they packed it all together and I took the food with me.
I went to rishab's room and opened inside without knocking, shouldn't have. He was standing infront of the mirror without his shirt on, I immediately turned back.
"Sorry!", I said and didn't turn back.
"You can turn.", He said and now he had put on his tshirt.
"I hope you can cheat on your diet for me.", I said and he smiled
"Ofcourse.", He said taking the tray from me.
We both ate together.
"So tomorrow? To mumbai?", He said and I smiled.
"Can't wait to go back home.", I truly miss my apartment.
"Hmm..... I haven't even booked a hotel yet.", he said grabbing his phone.
"Why?", I asked him, why would he do that?
"Arey where will I stay for two nights? Our flight to ranchi is on 26th na.", He said and I couldn't help but smack his arm, how could he think that I would let him stay in a hotel.
"Rishab, seriously, itna drama.", I said and he gave me a weird look.
"Kya hua?", He asked me.
"You're staying with me.", I said and he shook his head.
"I don't wanna disturb you.", He said. Fool.
"I live alone, you'd be doing a favour on me by giving me company.", I said.
