The Rhythms Of Her Dreams✨️

21. Reunion✨️

The Requested Chapter

The garden of a luxury resort sparkled under the warm glow of fairy lights. The grand reunion brought together cricket’s finest—legends and rising stars alike. Laughter echoed as retired icons like MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, and Sourav Ganguly mingled with current players, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and others.

Shubman Gill entered the venue, scanning the crowd. He quickly spotted Ishan Kishan leaning casually against the drinks counter, already grinning.

"Finally! The man of the hour," Ishan called out, waving him over.

Shubman smirked, walking toward his best friend. "What are you on about now?"

"You, obviously," Ishan teased. "The way everyone’s been asking me about your love life, I should start charging for answers."

Shubman groaned. "You didn’t tell them anything, right?"

"Relax," Ishan said, throwing an arm around him. "I’m saving all the juicy details for when they corner you."

"Some best friend you are," Shubman muttered, though his smile betrayed his amusement.

The duo joined the larger group, where the teasing started almost immediately.

"Shubhi!" Hardik called out. "We’ve been waiting for you. I hear you’ve got some news to share with us?"

"Let me guess," Rohit added, smirking. "It’s about a girl."

Before Shubman could respond, Ishan chimed in, "Oh, it’s definitely about a girl. And trust me, she’s special."

"See? Even his best friend agrees," Virat said, grinning.

"Traitor," Shubman muttered under his breath, glaring at Ishan.

"What? I’m just giving the people what they want," Ishan replied innocently.

The retired players, watching the exchange with amusement, decided to join in.

"Come on, Shubman," Yuvraj said. "If you’re blushing this much, she must be something else."

"Blushing?" Dhoni repeated, pretending to inspect Shubman’s face. "Yup, he’s gone."

The group burst into laughter, and Shubman knew there was no escaping now.

As the teasing escalated, Ishan took it upon himself to hype up the mystery.

"Kaira’s her name," he announced dramatically, earning gasps and mock applause from the group.

"Ishan!" Shubman exclaimed, his cheeks turning crimson.

"What? They were going to find out anyway," Ishan said, shrugging.

"Tell us more!" Hardik demanded.

"She’s smart, funny, and keeps him on his toes," Ishan said, ignoring Shubman’s glare. "Honestly, she’s the only person who can handle this guy."

"Wow," Shikhar said, chuckling. "Sounds like a match made in heaven."

"She must be really special if she’s managed to tame Shubman Gill," Sourav joked, causing another round of laughter.

Despite the lighthearted teasing, the mood shifted slightly when Yuvraj spoke up. "You know, Shubman, it’s rare to find someone who understands the life we live. If she’s that special, don’t let her go."

Dhoni nodded in agreement. "It’s not just about the game—it’s about finding balance. Someone who grounds you."

For a moment, Shubman’s playful demeanor softened. "She does. Kaira... she’s different. She gets me, even when I don’t have the words to explain."
