Abhishek ~
The boy with sun-warmed skin and a cricket bat too big for his hands but dreams too large for his pockets
Tara ~
The shy girl with ink-stained fingers and a heart full of silence
He fell first. She didn't notice-until his silence in the crowds held her gaze longer than needed, until his protectiveness wasn't just because she was his bestfriend, until her name in his voice felt like a prayer.
Now, as adults, he sat looking at the invitation. Her wedding invitation. With her still tangled in memories and his heartbeat still stuck in yesterday thinking will they ever have a future or ever had even a chance to in the first place.
Or are some marigold flowers just childhood joy or will they ever be a shelter?

𝐔𝐍𝐒: 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴
╰┈➤ 𝔟𝔬𝔬𝔨 𝔱𝔴𝔬 𝔦𝔫 𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔰𝔢𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰. 🌟 𝐔𝐍𝐒: 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴. Some stories don't begin with thunder. They begin quietly, like sunlight slipping through half drawn curtains. He was the boy with a bat who turned into a man with a nation on his shoulders. Shubman Gill. A name the crowd screamed, a face cameras loved. To the world, he was effortless charm, all smiles and sunshine. But behind the headlines and scoreboards, he was just a young man carrying the weight of expectations that sometimes felt heavier than his bat. Success had kissed his forehead once, but lately, the applause had turned into murmurs. And even sunshine can flicker when clouds linger too long. She was the kind of chaos that didn't apologize for existing. Sharanya De Luca. Half Indian, half Italian, wholly unapologetic. A girl who grew up with too much freedom and just enough rebellion. She had money, she had choices, but what she craved most was freedom from being told who she was supposed to be. So she chose to wander, to guide strangers through her beloved Italy, telling stories about ruins and rivers, while secretly searching for her own. He wasn't looking for healing. She wasn't looking for love. But destiny has its own sense of humor. And sometimes, when chaos meets a little less chaos, when sunshine collides with sunshine, the world doesn't burn. It glows. Because some souls don't ask for distance, they ask for closeness. For that needed nearness that feels less like a choice... and more like fate.
Homecoming: A Shubman Gill Fanfiction
"I think I'll miss you forever, like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky." A lawyer. A cricketer. Two childhood best friends turned something else. Aarohi Sharma and Shubman Gill were never just best friends-they were soulmates in the purest sense. From childhood mischief to adulthood's unspoken promises, their bond was the kind that defied definitions. Life had pulled them apart, only to bring them back together, as if the universe itself knew that some connections are too sacred to be broken. Through the chaos of cricket stadiums, late-night conversations, and endless teasing, they found comfort in each other's presence. But fate had its own plans. A love story that was meant to last a lifetime-until destiny had other plans. A love story where forever was never promised, but love never needed a promise to be real.Complete
