The first semester passed away in a blink and Shubman and Sara's friendship brewed between it. Instead of going home as they had a holiday for a month after the exams Shubman had to leave for Australia for the next series which was the BGT.

To let Sara know the same thing he decided to knock on her door, irony was in these six months he never visited Sara's apartment it was her who would drop at his one many nights for a movie, or because she was scared of thunder and whatever may the reason be.

He chuckled remembering the last six months. Who would have thought the guys who were at each other's necks for the whole one month would turn into such inseparable best friends so soon.

They were still at each other's necks though like they never stopped playing some idiotic pranks on each other and would fight on some very silly topics and they would hug the next moment.

When Sara didn't open even after knocking like a thousand times he twisted the knob to see it was open. He stepped in and closed the door.

The first thing he saw was a big portrait of Sara with her family hung on the wall. It was a handmade portrait, for sure drawn by Sara.

"Good morning Sachin sir and Mam and Arjun you too."

He chuckled at his own foolishness and then looked at the other paintings. Sara was quite an artist. He was impressed with her skills.

Next to search for her he started going towards the rooms and there she was cuddled in a blanket sleeping so cutely. For a moment he felt the world should stop just for him to look at her like this forever.

"Shub ye kya kya imagine kr raha hai tu chup kr ja."

He went and sat beside her poking her arm. Sara being a heavy sleeper didn't wake up. After a minimum of 100 attempts finally she opened her eyes and smiled.

"Good morning Lambu."

His eyes narrowed at the nickname and he scoffed while she laughed.

"Welcome Mr Gill for the first time in Sara Tendulkar's precious, clean and very beautiful apartment. Tumse jyaada clean hai."

"Ha hoga kyu nahi din bhar mere yaha jo padi rehti ho tum."

"Aeyy shut up, that means you are calling me dirty."

"Ohh finally Miss ko akal aayi."

"Shub I will kill you."

"Tum itni jaldi kyu gussa ho jati ho?"

"I don't know, bachpan se short tempered hu mai."

"Ohhh acha suno na."

"Bolo na."

"Aren't you going home this month?"

"No I am not, maa baba nahi hai ghar pe they are out of station aur jaake bhi kya krungi? Isliye yahi rahungi."

"Ohh woh mai ye batane aaya tha ki I need to leave tomorrow to Australia for the BGT."

"Ohh."

Her eyes saddened on the news and he looked down, pretty obvious she wanted him to stay. But she would never accept it and he knew that.

"Ohh all the best then. I won't miss you. Ab aayega maja."

"Hatt pagal, mujhe kya dikhta nahi hai ye sab tum jhute smile ke saath keh rahi ho."

"Hmm socha nahi tha sirf 6 months tum itna jan jaoge mujhe."

"Acha woh sab chodo you join me, that will be the best."

"Kaha?"

"Aree Australia aur kaha?"

"Aur kya krungi mai waha?"

"Aree gadhe ki aulad, nahi Sachin sir is not a gadha like you. You gadhi you will watch matches, and then whenever I am free we can explore Australia. You know kitna maja aayega. Bade bade animals ko dekhne jayenge hum log."

"Waise not a bad idea chalo kuch toh sadbuddhi wali baat ki tumne."

"Sad what?"

"Aree akal wali yrr."

"Ohh ha woh to maine ki. Chodo let's get your luggage packed aaj rat ki flight hai."

"Whattt? Aur meri tickets?"

"Aree don't worry yrr you know whenever I am travelling alone mai ek nahi teen seat saath mai leta hu. You know I like privacy."

"Ohh then thik hai. Chalo abhi mujhe uthne to do tabtak tum jaake pancakes banao. Go go shu."

Shubman looked at her bewildered like she just shooed him like a dog. Sara looked at him and closed his mouth and ran away laughing.

Soon it was the time of flight which was a very long one. When they landed Sara yawned.

"Ohh my god I am so tired. Itni lambi flight. Dekho ab kaisa jet lag kick in krega kal."

She made a crying face and Shubman laughed shaking his head.

"Hello miss nakhrewali nakhre khatam kro aur chalo."

"Shubman where will I live?"

"Tumhe sach mai lagta mere saath hote hue tum kisi aur hotel mai rahogi? Ofcourse you will live with me I mean I have booked your room too."

"Ohh thank god dude you are a saviour."

"Chalo na yrr kitni bakbak krti ho tum."

Sara rolled her eyes at him and he fumed.

"Listen you can do anything but just don't roll your eyes at me."

When he said this she did it again and then taking her bag went towards their can while Shubman made a crying face.

"Mummy ye ladki bohot ziddi hai."

Soon they reached the hotel, as it was night time everyone was asleep from the team so Shubman took the keys and handed it to Sara.

"Here miss Tendulkar your room is just beside mine so you can drop in anytime okay?"

"Yes yes abhi chalo jaldi."

Next morning Sara woke up early and decided to check upon Shubman. She opened her door and peeked outside to see if anyone was there but there was none so she quickly made her way to his room.

But as soon as she opened the door she screamed, because it was not his room

"Ahhhhhh."
