Months Later=

[It was just another busy day for Kavya, completely absorbed in her work managing Team India's social media, her focus entirely on getting the updates right and handling the buzz around the team's latest match. She didn't even notice the date on her phone or calendar—after all, what was a date when your life revolved around non-stop cricket updates?]

[On the other side of the city, Abhay was going about his day too, completely unaware of what he had forgotten. It wasn't until Neha, Kavya's best friend, gave him a call.]

Neha (on the phone, with excitement): "Hey, Abhay! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to remind you that it's Kavya's birthday today!"

Abhay (surprised): "Oh no, I completely forgot! Thanks for reminding me, Neha. Any ideas for making her day special?"

Neha (thoughtfully): "Actually, I was thinking of a surprise party. We could get the team involved and make it really memorable. I can help with the planning."

Abhay (enthusiastically): "That sounds perfect. Let's do it. I'll start coordinating with everyone right away."

Neha: "Great! I'll handle the decorations and the guest list. We just need to finalize the details and get everyone on board."

[Abhay's home, bustling with activity as he coordinates the surprise party with Neha and the team.]

[The group chat exploded with messages as everyone agreed to help out.]

Rohit: "No worries, bro! We've got this. Kavya's like our sister. Leave it to us!"

Virat: "Yeah, we'll pull off something epic. She won't see it coming."

Jaddu: "I'll bring some decorations and snacks. Who's handling the cake?"

Abhay: "I'll take care of the cake! But Harry, Rishabh, please try not to cause too much drama."

Harry: "Us? Drama? Never! 😇"

Rishabh: "Too late! I already ordered a huge cake. It's going to be wild!"

[Of course, chaos was inevitable when Harry and Rishabh got involved. They were already causing mayhem before the party even began, with Rishabh insisting on a cake that had multiple tiers and Harry suggesting themes that involved dance-offs. Meanwhile, Shubman had gotten distracted as soon as he found out that Neha was going to be there.]

Shubman (flirting with Neha over text): "So, Neha, you and me... we can plan the surprise together? Maybe over dinner after the party? 😏"

Neha (rolling her eyes): "Focus, Shubman. We're planning a surprise party here, not your next date!"

[As the hours ticked by, the preparations kicked into high gear. Rohit and Ritika arrived early to help with decorating, filling the house with balloons and lights. Virat and Anushka were in charge of setting up a playlist, with Virat sneakily adding Kavya's favorite songs to the mix. Jaddu came through with some snacks, while Bhuvi and his wife quietly handled the finishing touches.]

[Meanwhile, Harry and Rishabh were... well, being Harry and Rishabh.]

Harry: "Bro, I dare you to wear this ridiculous party hat during the cake cutting."

Rishabh: "Challenge accepted!"

Ishan, who had been watching all this, was at his wit's end. He groaned as he saw Rishabh and Harry running around like kids.]

Ishan (to Abhay): "I'm done with these guys. Can you get them to focus for once?"

Abhay (laughing): "Trust me, I'm trying!"

Neha (with a clipboard): "We've got the venue booked, and the decorations are on their way. We need to finalize the guest list and make sure everyone knows the plan."

Abhay (nodding): "Got it. rge banner that reads "Happy Birthday, Kavya!"]

[Athiya arrives at Kavya's office to distract her and keep her away from the surprise venue.]

Athiya (cheerfully): "Hey, Kavya! I thought we could grab lunch and do some shopping. How about it?"

Kavya (distracted, glancing at her workload): "That sounds nice, but I have so much work to finish up."

Athiya (playfully): "Come on, just for a little while. You deserve a break. I promise it'll be fun."

Kavya (hesitating): "Okay, fine. I guess I could use a break. Let's go."

[Athiya helps Kavya out of the office and they head to the venue, chatting and laughing along the way.]

[The venue is buzzing with excitement. The team is mingling, the wives are coordinating the final touches, and the kids are running around, adding to the festive atmosphere.]

[Shubhman is seen flirting with Neha, while Ishaan, ever the supportive best friend, helps Abhay with the setup.]

Shubhman (charmingly, to Neha): "You look fantastic tonight. I don't think I've ever seen you so radiant."

Neha (laughing nervously): "Oh, Shubhman, you're too kind. But We've got a party to organize."

Ishaan (rolling his eyes): "Shubhman, less flirting and more helping. We need to get everything ready before Kavya arrives."

Shubhman (grinning): "Alright, alright. I'm on it."

[As Shubhman helps with the setup, Ishaan and Abhay work together to finalize the arrangements, ensuring everything is perfect for Kavya's arrival.]

[Athiya brings Kavya to the party venue. Kavya is still chatting and laughing, completely unaware of the surprise.]

Kavya (walking in, puzzled): "Wait, what's this?"

[The moment Kavya entered the room, the sound of confetti popping filled the air, followed by the loud cheers of her close-knit family and friends. Her eyes widened as she took in the sight before her—a house transformed into a magical wonderland, glowing with fairy lights and adorned with beautiful decorations. Standing in the center of it all was Abhay, holding a bouquet of her favorite flowers, his eyes shining with a mix of pride and affection.]

Everyone: "Surprise!!!"

[Kavya was stunned, her heart swelling with overwhelming emotion. She had been so busy with work, juggling the social media tasks for the team, that she didn't even realize it was her birthday. The warmth and love from the people around her were a shock to her senses. Tears welled up in her eyes, but before she could speak, Abhay stepped forward.]

Abhay (smiling nervously): "I know I'm terrible with dates, but... I couldn't let this day go by without celebrating you. Happy birthday, Kavya."
