It was 8:30 a.m. and Mithra made the big mistake of starting late. She always started early but today, because of her alarm, she woke up late and everything became late. She was now stuck in the amazing Mumbai traffic. Her fingers tapped against her bike, as she waited. Soon, meaning about 15 minutes later the traffic cleared a bit and she took it as a chance to escape. Thankfully she was just late only by a few minutes. The better news was that their head was also late, so she would never know that Mithra was late. A notification went off on her phone as she went to her cabin.

MI vs RCB -tune in at 7:30 pm

"Oh yeah," she muttered before starting her work. Mithra was always reminded about Shubman whenever she did something related to cricket. Be it the cricket bat in her room, the commentary on the TV, or the schedule. God, she was trying so hard to find him but kept failing. 

But that didn't stop her from watching the matches and cheering for him. Wearing her headphones, she started her work.

A few minutes went by when her phone rang. Picking it up she noticed it was her workmate calling.  "Hello," she answered.  "Haan one second I'll come" she spoke before getting up and leaving her cabin.

She went to the head office where she was called. "Ma'am? " she called before entering.  "Ah yes come in Mithra, " her head, Sam spoke.  "Guess what? " she asked.  Mithra looked at her before shrugging. "What?"

"You have been selected as one of the commentators for the IPL matches,  seeing that you know a lot about the sport, " Sam answered.

Mithra went into shock for a moment before responding.  "You're kidding right? " she asked.  "Nope.  You got selected for it.  So for this, you'll be travelling for this,  and all the expenses will be taken care of by us, " Sam smiled.

"You finish your work for today,  then we'll discuss this, " she spoke as Mithra nodded before leaving the room. This could be a chance for her to see Shubman again after nearly 4 years. Sam wouldn't know how much of a big help this is for Mithra.

"Mithra you'll be on air in 5 minutes! " Rahul yelled as she nodded. Quickly getting ready,  she went to the studio before taking her place.

Rahul showed the numbers 1, 2, and 3 before the ON AIR turned red symbolizing the start of the session. 

"Hello Mumbai,  how are we doing this morning?! " Mithra spoke into the mic smiling more than usual. "So today we'll be talking about the thing or a person that makes you happy,  and here we have our first caller, " she cheered before answering the call.

"Hello,  dear caller,  may I know your name? " she spoke. "Hello, I'm Leela, " the caller answered.

"Hello Leela,  how are you today? " Mithra asked.  "I'm doing pretty good apart from the fact I'm currently stuck in traffic," she chuckled.

"Ah that sucks, I'm sure you'll reach your destination soon. So today our question is what is the thing or who is the person that makes you happy? "

"Well the thing that makes me happy is listening to music and it's my family who make me happy too," Leela answered.

"That's wholesome, " Mithra answered smiling.

Here the KKR team was listening to the FM in their dressing room.  For them, MJ was their favourite RJ.  They didn't know her actual name or what she looked like. All they knew was her RJ name MJ.

"You always ask people questions but today I wanna ask you the same thing. What or who makes you happy? " Leela asked.

"Well for me it's my childhood best friend. I used to call him Pikachu because of how he once spilt turmeric powder all over him and his sister applied her lipstick on his cheeks, " she laughed.

Shubman's eyes went wide upon hearing this. He had an idea of who it was.

"Mits?" was the word that left his mouth as a whisper.
