KINNA SONA[[Shubman Gill feat. ICT]]

[EP 11] Aap thik ho, Gill?

The police bike was gradually falling behind. But we were moving at an insane speed.

Gill: Tumko dekhke lag rha hai iss bhaagne bhaagane ke field mein bilkul pro ho.

Me: *grins* Hain na? Main bhi soch rhi hu ke ek company khol lu logon ko safely bhaagane ke liye. Tab bas paisa hi paisa hoga. Aapko agar kabhi kisi ko shaadi ke mandap se bhaagana pade to contact me.

Gill: Rohit bhai ko pata hai tumhare iss talent ke bareme?

Me: Pata hain unko, isi liye kabhi mere bike pe nahi baithte. BP badh jata hai unka.

Gill: Jindagi mein scooty wali 'papa ki pari' bohut dekha hai, par bike wali 'baap ki ghost rider' pehli baar dekh rha hoon.

After at least twenty minutes, we could finally get away from the police bike, and I slowly sped down. Gill was panting hard in the back.

Me: Paani pioge? *handing him a water bottle*

Gill: *panting* Thanks.

Me: Aap thik ho, Gill?

Gill: *taking a long breath* Agar aaj koi accident ho jata, aur manager anna ke tarha tumhe bhi koi injury ho jaati, toh sab mujhe kya kehte?

Me: *embarrassed at my own self that maybe I have offended him way too much* Sorry...

Gill: Nahi, bolo kya kehte sab mujhe?

Me: *having a strong urge to kick my own ass for doing such a stupid and risky thing, and I am pretty sure that he will tell Rohit bhai to change his manager as soon as we reach BCCI today* I am actually very sorry...

Gill: *in an unpredictable tone whether he is serious or not* Agar tum aaj haath pair kuch turwake hospital chale jaate.... toh log mujhe kehte.....

Me: *confuse blink blink* ...

Gill: Shub Man-Gill Saavdhan. *chuckles*

I exhale with a relieved feeling that he is not mad at me.

Me: *rechecking* Aap gussa to nahi ho?

Gill: Nah.

Me: *still not assured* Baad me manager toh change kar nhi loge?

Gill: *laughs* Nahi, tumko kaun chhodne wala hai? Pagal wagal ho kya?

Me: *very firm nod* Haan.

Gill: *chuckles* Chalega.

I started off for BCCI. Gill peeked over my shoulder to talk to me.

Gill: *softly* Aisa nahi hai ke main tum pe gussa hu iss baat ko lekar. I love your riding yaar! Puri RPG wali feeling live diladi.... *scolding* Par iska matlab yeh nahi ke hum log yeh har din karne wale hai.

Me: *struggling to keep a straight face bcz he sounds adorably funny*

Gill: Aaj na mera din hi kharab chal rha hai! Sab log meri lene ke chakkar main lage pade hai. Pehle meri pyaari gaddi ne u-turn lete lete tire puncture karwali. Phir aunty ji selfie ke chakkar main chummi hi le li. Phir andhe policewale sanitizer ki innocent sa bottle ko na jane kya kya samjhke humari lene aa gaye. Aur tum jiss speed se bike vaga rhi thi, I am damn sure, yamraj bhi apna saand leke wahi kahi khada soch rha hoga, "Aaj to leke hi jayenge".

Me: *laughing uncontrollably*

Gill: *sighs* Tumko hasne ki bimari hain. Aaj hi ghar jake tumhari Amma ko bolo ke tumhe jaldi doctor dikhay.

Driving almost another mile, I could finally get rid of all the laughter in my belly and exhaled in peace.

Gill: Bengal se ho?

Me: Haan.

Gill: *taunts* Issi liye aisa hai. Maine aaj tak jitne bhi Bengalis dekhe hai, ek cheez bohut gaur se notice kiya. Inn logo ko har cheez mein humor dhoondne ki buri aadat hain. Bolte kam hain, haste jyada hain.

Me: *whistles* Phir aap to phas gaye!

Gill *nods and smiles* Lagta to wahi hai.

Me: I am actually sorry for all the recklessness. Aisi bewakufo wali harkate doobara kabhi nahi karungi, I promise.

Gill: *sighs & smiles* Maine kuch kaha?

Me: But you are the future of cricket, your safety is the most important thing, but I just acted too careless and rushed... I won't blame you if you decide to fire me today.

Gill: Is that so? *arched his eyebrow* I saw it on your face how much you cared for my safety.

Me: *blink blink* ...

Gill: *wholesome smile* Tumi kahi ni jaa rhi! Aur kahi jaane ka to tum sochna bhi mat. Ab chalo jaldi BCCI mein jaake landing karte hain, warna Rohit bhai hum dono ki khal udher denge.

Me: Thik hai, chalo!
