》》》》》》》
amidst the chaos of the streets of london, stood the left arm unorthodox spinner who's known for his amazing bowling skills with a bunch of curly brown hairs, kuldeep yadav with his chaotic best friend, yuzvendra chahal.
"kulli! let's go! we are here for a day out not to listen to your cries!" yuzi pulled his best friend and dragged him towards the mall.
rinku, dhruv and yashasvi followed the besties inside the mall. "yaar!" whined kuldeep.
there the five of them met hardik, jasprit, ishan, shreyas and shubman along with siraj and shami. "thank god yuzi bhai you bought everyone." said shreyas.
kuldeep, still with a scowl on his face groaned and followed the group. he was walking behind while the others talked about where to go.
don't get him wrong. he loved the team like his family but this time he thinks he could've used a little— okay not little, a lot of sleep. he was just tired.
he wanted to lie in his bed and do absolutely nothing till the practice time but here he was, following his teammates in some random mall.
he rolled his eyes and his gaze moved towards a rolex store. sneaking away from his teammates eyes, he entered the store and took a deep breath. he roamed around the store and got bored so he came out. buying himself some coffee, he roamed around the mall.
he was startled by his phone ringing. he saw and it was his best friend, "kuliya!!! where are you?? did you ditch us? oh, my man ditched me." cried yuzi on the call.
kuldeep rolled his eyes at his best friend. he knew how dramatic he was, "no man. i'm going back to the hotel. i feel kinds sick." he deliberately put on a sick voice.
"oh, take care." said yuzi, all bummed and kept the phone.
as kuldeep walked out of the mall, he decided to take a stroll in the nearby park. not the garden.
while walking, he suddenly fell down after he felt some weight on him. all this happened in such a heat of the moment that he didn't even realise it was a dog.
"i am so very sorry mister! i hope you're alright." a deep feminine voice rang in his years.
the person, pulled the dog over and helped him stand. dusting his clothes, he saw the most angelic face he ever saw. she looked magnificent and so divine.
it felt like, he finally met the woman of his dreams. her perfect brows with smooth cheekbones. perfect heart-shaped pinkish lips with a little mole on the down right corner of them. heavenly honey-brown eyes and a natural blush that rested on her cheeks due to the cold winter of london.
"pehli nazar mei, kaisa jaadu kar diya...
tera ban baitha hai mera jiya...
jaane kya hoga, kya hoga kya pata...
iss pal ko aa milke jee lein zara..."
"casper! i told you to stay here!" he came out of his trance as he heard the same voice.
"sir i am so sorry. i didn't mean this to happen. he ran away before i could catch him. i hope you're not hurt anywhere." the girl said in the most comforting and caring tone which melted the man's heart.
"it's alright. i'm not hurt, anyways!" he chuckled.
"im so sorry sir." she apologized again. she tucked the strands of her hairs behind her ears and finally made an eye contact with him. her eyes widened at the realisation.
"kuldeep sir!" she gasped.
kuldeep, for the first time in his life felt a bit honoured. someone had called him 'sir'. he blushed and looked down.
"hey, don't call me that..." he muttered, still blushing looking everywhere but towards her.
"sir, aap please ek photo lenge kya mere saath?" she asked, "agar aap comfortable hain tab hi." she added quickly.
someone really wants a photo with... me?
he didn't knew how to respond. seeing a literal angel in front of him, he couldn't even form words. he looked at her and smiled.
her smile grew bigger as she took out her phone. opening the front camera, she quickly took a selfie, both of them smiling wide.
"thank you sir!" she gleamed.
he again smiled at her. both of them now stood there, not really knowing what to say. it became a bit awkward for both of them.
"uh.. you played really well in the england test series." she said.
"t-thank you. anything for the country." he blushed like a madman.
"what's your name?" asked kuldeep, just to make a conversation.
"subha sharma." she smiled.
"that's a pretty name." he commented.
"would you mind, if i stay?" asked kuldeep.
"absolutely not sir. unless you're uncomfortable."
"agar uncomfortable hota toh puchta kyu?" this time she blushed.
"let's... walk?" suggested kuldeep and she nodded.
subha tied the leash around casper's collar and both of them started walking under the warm sun. "aap kya karte ho?" asked kuldeep.
"i'm a criminal lawyer."
"arey baapre. tab toh bachke rehna padega." both of them chuckled.
"aapne aise kaam hi kyu karne hai?" subha said making him laugh a little.
"sahi baat hai." he chuckled.
talking for some more time, they sat on the bench with kuldeep playing with casper. "aaap idhar hi rehte ho?" he asked, scratching casper's ear.
"hanji. mai aur meri friend yaha rehte hai." subha replied.
"oh." the curly head was a little bummed hearing that.
not knowing what to talk about, they both sat in silence, complementing each other. the silence was tranquillizing. as the sun set, gentle breeze blew, making their hairs sway. as they started walking back to god knows where, kuldeep stopped making subha stop as well.
"i liked talking to you, subha." her heart jittered. hearing her name from his mouth was like a beautiful song.
did i tell you? subha had always admired kuldeep. whether it was for his super-class bowling skill or wholly him. basically you can say our kuldeep yadav was her crush. a long time crush.
she blushed under his gaze and tucked her hairs behind her ear, "i liked it as well, sir."
he clicked his tongue, "call me kuldeep. we were basically together for the whole day and i kinda enjoyed."
subha looked at him with wide eyes, "s-sir but how can i-"
"shush, i told you, call me by my name." kuldeep said and internally frowned. since when did he become so good at interacting with people? that too, strangers.
"alright kuldeep." and out! kuldeep yadav was officially clean bowled by subha sharma. he wanted to jump around and hug her closely.
whatever you say, he was already in love. it was a love at first sight for him.
