26 bab Bersambung They say finding a soulmate is the hardest thing in the world.
Out of seven billion hearts beating under the same sky, choosing the right one feels like chasing a mirage.
But love - love never asks for the right time, the right place, or the right person.
It just happens.
𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝟐𝟐-𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡.
When the world welcomes the first-ever 𝑴𝒊𝒙𝒆𝒅 𝑶𝑫𝑰 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 𝑪𝒖𝒑, history takes a new turn.
Men and women, side by side - playing not against each other, but with each other.
Boundaries blur, rules change, and amidst the sound of roaring crowds, something far deeper begins to bloom.
𝑺𝒊𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊 𝑽𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂, twenty, shy yet dazzling, carries the calm of the moon and the fire of dreams.
A cricketer whose bat speaks poetry, whose silence hums strength.
She never sought fame - only freedom between the wickets.
And then comes 𝑨𝒃𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒌 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒂 - twenty-five, the nation's golden boy.
Charming, confident, and reckless with both bat and heart.
Where she is restraint, he is chaos.
Where she hides, he shines.
Where she listens, he commands.
They are poles apart - destined to collide.
And somewhere between rivalry and rhythm, between boundaries and hearts,
they'll discover that love, like cricket, is all about timing.
