The Cricketer and his fan

Part 4

Divya POV: 

Well done Divya !! You know him very well if destiny gives us a chance our path definitely will cross together.I am so happy today, lets cook something special.After 2 hrs of hard work, everything was ready.This was looking awesome and yummy. Let's take a picture of it.Today's menu is Shev bhaji, chapati, rice, kheer.It's 7 DEC 2020 and Shreyas & his team are going to announce the result of quiz now.I hope, I get selected. This is the only chance, I have to meet him. Else I have to forget him and marry someone of my parent's choice.

Being single after 24 is too difficult in India. Every now and then you will come across the marriage discussion, questions. When I went home for Diwali, dad & I had a discussion about the same. Only remembering it gives me shivers.

(flashback to the time when they have a discussion)

Dad: Come Divya, let's go for a walk on the terrace.

Divya: Okay Papa. 2 mins.

Dad: do it fast or we will miss the sunset.

Divya: Comming..coming.Both went on the terrace and were eating snacks. It was our thing to come here and discuss everything.

Dad: How it is going in the office? what is your plan for next year?

Divya: Nothing planned as of now. The office is really good. Thinking to join swimming classes.

Dad: Good. What about marriage? Do you have someone you like ? you can always tell. Divya again here got shocked and was not able to utter a single word. She is not good at lying, especially to her dad.

Divya: No papa, koni nahi ahe. lagnacha kahi vichar nahi kela. (no one is there, not thought of marriage yet )

Dad: okay. Is it ok if we start searching for a proposal? We are getting many proposals these days. And it is the perfect time to get married. Everything is also settled and these things take time right?

Divya:  hmm, okay papa.

Back to the present. Please please god let it be me. Finger crossed, hearth beat increase, and here I see Shreyas post.come on Divya, you can do it, open it. With shivering hand, I opened the post and my eyes pop out. Yeah I made it.

" Quiz winner is Divya Sharma. Looking forward to meeting you Divya. Congratulations !!!- Shreyas Iyer "

Ohh god, I can't believe it and I started dancing and informed Yug. Yug started laughing saying I got mad. But who cares when you are going to meet your love for the first time.

Shreyas POV:

Sujit from our PR team told me that we got a reply from her and now everyone was waiting for her message.

" HelloTeam, Thank you for choosing me. Can I please request you something? Please don't tag me in your promotional items, I don't want to be a target of Shreyas Fan's anger or jealousy... Also I like my privacy. I hope you can consider this. Also, it is ok if Shreyas does not want to meet me. I know this is just a PR activity. Have a great day !! " -- Divya Sharma

My mom was super impressed with her. I took a laptop from Sujit and started typing a reply.

" Hey Divya, Shreyas here. We will take care of your privacy, don't worry. And we are eager to meet you next Sunday at 10.00 AM at my place. The PR team has planned a few activities for Sunday for us, I hope you don't mind.take care. See you soon :-) My PR team will contact you for further details.bye " ---Shreyas Iyer

All were looking at me with teasing smile because this is the first time I have voluntarily replied to someone. I looked at the PR team and asked - We are ready for next Sunday right? you have only 3 days to plan.

Sujit: Yes sir all planned. We will show her around the house, colony, and then the stadium. Then lunch at The Taj hotel.

Shreyas: Taj hotel ka reservation cancel kar sakte ho kya? Mujhe lagta hai waha pe reporters honge aur uski photo viral ho jayegi. Uski privacy ko dhyan mai rakhna hoga hume.

Abhishek: Haan sahi bol rahe ho. What about my hotel? Waha pe reporters nahi aayenge, aaye toh b restrict kar payenge?Shreyas: haa wahi sahi rahega.

Shreyas was looking forward to meeting her.
