We won the T20 World Cup! I am so, so happy! But at the same time, I feel sad for South Africa—they could have won their first cup. I also cried out of happiness for the team, but also out of sadness when Virat said it's his last T20 World Cup.

It's been two weeks since the break-in incident, and I've been staying with KL anna. It's been super damn tiring with practice and going on apartment hunts. Yesterday, KL anna and Harry bhai showed me an apartment. It was really, really nice, but they were acting suspicious when I asked them how they found such a nice place. I didn't mean it as a question—it was more of an expression of surprise—but they thought I was questioning them, and they got... weird.

I'll be moving in tomorrow, so they are helping me pack my stuff in my old apartment. I'll miss this place. I don't own any furniture since it was a fully furnished apartment, and so is the one I'm moving into.

As we're packing, KL anna looks around and says, "You really made this place your own, Vicky. It's got your vibe."

"Yeah," I reply, folding a shirt and placing it in a box. "I'm going to miss this place. It was perfect."

Harry bhai chuckles, "The new one is pretty great too. You'll get used to it in no time."

I pause and look at them, curiosity piqued. "By the way, how did you two find such a nice place?"

KL anna and Harry bhai exchange a quick glance before KL anna replies, "Oh, you know, just asked around. Got lucky, I guess."

I raise an eyebrow. "Really? It seemed like you two were hiding something when I mentioned it."

Harry bhai laughs nervously, "Nah, nothing like that. We just wanted to make sure you had a good place to stay."

I shake my head, smiling. "You two are terrible liars, but thanks. I appreciate it."

KL anna claps me on the back. "No problem, Vicky. Anything for our little brother."

As we finish packing the last of my things, I look around the now-empty apartment one more time. "I'll miss this place."
