Hey there!

Thank you so much for deciding to read this book :) I really hope you enjoy reading it as much I do writing it.

P.S: if you read the entire thing I've written below, I cannot describe how much I appreciate it :))

I'm not sure if many of you might know this, but my pervious book was the Shubman Gill fanfiction 'Wounds' which on the account @smriti0612. I honestly have to no idea why Wattpad got me locked out of it, I haven't been able to login to that account even after entering the right password for year. So I've created this account.

So I was quite young while I started writing 'Wounds', that'll probably explain why it is way too cliché and cheesy (probably a kinda childish one too). This book won't be as cliche/cheesy as that one but it will be a little, since I'm a sucker for little bit of cliché-ness and cheesiness.

I had to stop writing 'Wounds' halfway through the story because I had these really important reasons. I had plans to complete the book after my exams. But as I mentioned above, Wattpad created a mess and board exams got cancelled so I decided to start this one. Not being able to finish that book would be one of my regrets because a lot of people seemed to really like it, the comments it received were heart warming.

I'm looking forward to writing this one since I haven't tried merging four stories into one. I'd written a story where only one couple was the main one but this one has four them! So it's super exciting and a little bit nerve wracking too, but I do hope it turns out well.

In the IPL/ICT matches, I will be using the current squads of the teams as the squad in 2024 (except for a few players who are on the brink of retirement/that might retire soon), since I don't think I'm good enough at knowing who'll play 3 years later (except for the main player obviously, I just have no idea who will be brought in if anyone retires and I highly doubt that most of the people from the current ICT squads would retire by 2024)

If you notice any mistakes (grammatical or spelling), do let me know about it in the comments section, I'd really appreciate it since I don't notice some mistakes while I edit the chapters. Also, I do not happen to be really good in Hindi and I do not know Malayalam (Shreyas' and Smriti's mother tongue) at all; so the book will be mostly in English (with bits of Hindi places). I hope you don't mind the lack of Hindi in it, since most ICT fanfics have a pretty good amount of Hindi in it.

And if you have any feedback/suggestions regarding the book, you could DM it or put it up in the conversations section of my account or if it's regarding the chapter, you could just comment it at the end of the chapter. They would really make my day :)

I would really appreciate it if no one spreads hate regarding anybody (as in MSD, Virat or any other cricketer in the book). You can talk all you want about the fictional negative characters in this book, but no hate about a person who actually exists please!

Also if you don't mind, please let me know in the comments if you are okay/comfortable with the use of cuss/swear words in the book.

Happy reading!

Lots of love
