ShubSara (a)Shubh Vivah

CHAPTER 3

A/N DROP INLINE COMMENTS PLEASE.

Jaddu stood on the balcony, lost in memories of a night from four years ago. The only difference now was that he wasn't haunted by grief. Everything was vivid in his mind—the catch he missed, Mahi bhai's final World Cup, the collective heartbreak. It replayed like a movie, but curiously, it didn't sting anymore. They say the things that can wound you are also the things that can mend you, and their recent victory over the same team at the same stage had somehow healed those old wounds. Deep in thought, he noticed a familiar figure emerging from the hotel, moving briskly.

""Where could Shubh be heading at this hour?"  Jaddu wondered, watching as the figure disappeared into the darkness.

"Just a moment ago, he was in such a low place, complaining about how poorly he was performing and how he couldn't contribute. Now, where is he going? Oh no, is he going somewhere to hurt himself? Why do these young ones always turn to such drastic measures over small setbacks?" Jaddu muttered to himself calling out his name but finding no response

"What should I do? What if he's gone off somewhere? Should I go after him?" Jaddu was going to leap from the balcony, but he froze as he looked down and saw the dizzying height.

"Who should I call? Who can help? Wait, yes, I need to reach out to someone." he sprinted downstairs towards certain someone's room murmuring to himself His frantic pace and muffled words caught the attention of an already awake Harry, who stepped out of his room.

Meanwhile, Ishan was running frantically to catch up with Shubman when he collided with Harry.

"Ishu, where are you running off to at this hour? Harry asked surprised.

"Bhaiya Shubman's gone! I need to catch up with him. Please, don't delay" Ishan said without breaking his stride and Harry frowned trying to process the urgency of the situation..

"Looks like there's a night race going on and no one bothered to tell me" Harry whined to himself.

"Wait, wait, wait—It means Shubman and Ishan are running away from home oops hotel? Oh, wow, finally" Harry said excitedly

"Rohit bhaiya" Harry sing heading towards his room to wake him up.

"Nushkay Nushkay wake up" Virat said gently shaking Anushka from her deep sleep.

"Go away, Virat. Let me sleep," Anushka said swatting his hand away.

"Hey Shubh has run away" Virat said excitedly, trying to get her attention

"Huhtdfhjarknka" Anushka mumbled barely coherent.

"Umm what?" Virat shake her again.

""Well, go check for yourself. He must be chasing Ishan," Anushka said tossing over in the bed.

"No, he's run off with Sara to get married!" Virat said shaking her and she woke up with a jerk.

"What? Where have they gone?" Anushka asked wide-eyed.

"Oh, Nushkay, when they run off to get married, where do they go? They've headed to a temple!" Virat said tugging her hairs behind ears.

"Does Sachin Paaji know?" Anushka asked and Virat slapped his for head.

"Who runs off telling their parents, Nushkay? What are you talking about? Come on, we need to get going" Virat said and Anushka quickly got out of the bed.

""Does Ishan know about this?" Anushka questioned again.

"Obviously, he already left. Now, you should come along too," Virat huffed at her queries.
