Sunlight streamed through the curtains as Sharmili sorted through her books on Saturday morning. With exams behind her and a sense of relief washing over her, she was busy in sorting out her pile of books

The accident seemed like distant memories now, replaced by the promise of a fresh start. Sharmili had returned home from the hostel after giving the retest of the exam she had missed due to the accident.

As she neatly arranged her books on the shelf, Sharmili's mother peeked into the room, a warm smile lighting up her face. "Sharmili, cha khabi?" (will you have tea) she asked, her voice filled with motherly affection.

Sharmili grinned, the familiar melody of her mother tongue filling her heart with warmth. "Haan maa, besh bhalo lagbe" (Yes maa, I'll like it) she replied, grateful for her mother's care.

As Sharmili took a sip of the tea her mother had lovingly prepared, her phone suddenly rang, interrupting the tranquil moment. Glancing at the caller ID, she saw that it was Ishan calling. With a curious smile, she answered the call.

Sharmili: "Hello Ishan, kya haal hai?"

Ishan: "Sharmili, I'm good yaar. Tum kaise ho?"

Sharmili: "Main bhi theek hoon. Thanks. Aaj hi main ghar lauti"

Ishan: *enthusiastic* "Acha acha! Waise I've called up to give you some good news. As you know Shubman ka pehla IPL match kal Ahmedabad mein hai... aur maine tumhare liye wahan jaane ke liye plan kiya hai, as his special guest!!"

Sharmili's jaw dropped in disbelief at Ishan's unexpected offer.

Sharmili:*excited* "Wait, kal? Par main itni jaldi Ahmedabad kaise jaungi?"

Ishan: *chuckling* "Chinta mat karo, Sharmili. Maine sab kuch sambhal liya hai. Tum bas apne samaan pack karo aur taiyaar ho jao. There are some perks being a cricketer yaar! Maine surprise arrange kiya hai, just for you guys. Trust me, yeh mauka chhodna nahi chahta"

Feeling touched by Ishan's gesture, Sharmili couldn't help but feel a rush of gratitude towards him.

Sharmili:*pleased* "Ishan, you're too kind. Shubman is lucky to have a friend like you"

Ishan: *softly* "Sharmili, Shubman is more than just a friend to me. He's like a brother. And seeing him captain his first IPL match is a big deal for me. I just want to make it extra special for him"

Sharmili: *admiring* "I can understand. It's moments like these that make friendships so precious."

Ishan: *excited*"Exactly! And guess what? The match is against MI, so not only will you get to cheer for Shubman, but I'll also get to meet you. Shubman ki bandi se ekbar milna toh banta hai! It's a win-win situation," he added with a grin.

Sharmili: *overwhelmed* "Wow, Ishan, yeh... yeh toh incredible hai. Bohot bohot shukriya"

With plans in motion and excitement in the air, Sharmili couldn't wait to embark on this new adventure and be a part of Shubman's journey as he led his team onto the cricket field as captain for the first time.

After her conversation with Ishan, Sharmili couldn't wait to share the exciting news with her best friend, Sid. She quickly dialed his number, her heart fluttering with anticipation.

Sharmili: "Hey Sid!"

Sid: "Hey Sharmili! Kirom achish tui ekhon?" (How r u now?)

Sharmili: *excited* "Sid, you won't believe what just happened! Ishan called up and he has arranged for me to attend Shubman's first IPL match as captain in Ahmedabad tomorrow. It's against MI and he's planned a surprise for Shubman. Isn't that amazing?"

Sid: *amazed* "Wow, that's incredible news, Sharmili! I'm so happy for you!!"

Sharmili:"Oh, Sid, I completely forgot! I was so caught up in the moment. I wanted to ask if you'd like to come along with me to the match."

Sid:*politely* "Sharmili, thank you so much for the invitation, but ami jete parbona re (I won't be able to go). I have my first date on Sunday with Alia, you know, the girl I've liked for ages."

Sharmili: "Oh, Sid, I completely forgot about your date with Alia. I'm so sorry for not remembering."

Sid: "Hey, don't worry about it, Sharmili. It's totally fine. You go and enjoy the match. Alia and I have been planning this for a while, and I wouldn't miss it for anything."

Sharmili: "Thanks, Sid. I hope you have a fantastic time with Alia."

Sid: "No problem, Sharmili. You have a blast at the match. Let me know how it goes. And don't forget to atleast hug him if not kiss!"

Sharmili:*embarrassed * "Hutt yaar!! Bekar bokte thake khali" (You just speak garbage)

Sid:*winking* " Sharmili. Bye!"

Sharmili: "Bye, Sid."
