"Okay, the contract is for one year. Sign it off"
Raj said.

"I still don't understand why we are doing this, raj"

"You are the Rishabh Pant. You are one of the most loving and talented cricket players. You have represented India with your hard work. And not only that, but you are also the captain of one of the most loving IPL teams. You are too young to get caught up in these controversies. Right now people are considering you as a player and not in a good context."

Rishabh sighed and said,
"What's in for her?"

"I have a name and that's YFN"
(Your Full Name)

"Well she is an aspiring model and that would help her career,"
Raj explained.

"So how it's gonna work?"
YN asked.
(Your Name)

"Okay first you guys with like each other posts and comments. Things will escalate from IPL, you would show up to his match and cheer him. Post on social media. And the basic. You know"
Raj told them.

------------------------

Delhi Capitals was lounging at Delhi airport as they were waiting for their flight.

"Ahem. Ahem"

Everyone turned their heads toward the sound.

Rishabh stood up and said,
"Um everyone this is YN... My girlfriend"
While putting his hand around YN's waist.

Every team member introduce themselves, and now it was time for boarding to Mumbai for their first match with MI.

YN was walking towards the gate when she felt a hand intertwined with hers. She looked up and saw Rishabh talking to Axar Patel.

As they sat down, YN was sitting beside Rishabh as planned. After the whole instruction part, Rishabh put on his headphones, while YN was just sitting causally not knowing what to do.

That's when Rishabh got a text from Raj saying that they have to look like a couple cause there might be people who will click pictures.

"You sleepy?"
Rishabh asked while putting his headphone back in the bag.

"I don't know. Why?"

"Just put your head on my shoulder and take this."
He said while giving her the right piece of earphones and he used the left one.

YN frowned with a confused look.
So Rishabh showed her the text from Raj.

Right now they were listening to Kahin toh with YN's head on Rishabh. And after one or two songs they fell asleep as if it was a morning flight.

Before they could reach the news was flying around with their picture of sleeping on each other shoulders while listening to music and saying,

Rishabh Pant with a mystery girl after the whole controversy with Urvashi"
---------------------

After a few matches, it was confirmed that Rishabh was dating. Not only people were gossiping but also loved the new couple. Now people were not adding RP's name with Urvashi.

Whereas on the other side, YN had an increase in her followers and a few projects on her hand but she declined them as it would be too suspicious.

She would occasionally visit Rishabh and spend a night.

Right now they were in Rajasthan shooting a couples Advertisement.
It was Rishabh's free time and he surely didn't want to waste it on just a commercial. He was fully ready from clothes to dialogue but on the other hand, YN was not.

"Bhai, I have to leave in 2 hours. Do it quickly"
Rishabh said while drinking his black coffee.

"Sir we are set. But mam is not ready"

Rishabh nodded and when to YN's vanity, where she was sitting with a paper in her hand.

"YN I have a meeting to attend after this. Come on now"

"I can't do this"
YN said while throwing the script on the table.

"I can't. I can't. I can't."
She said repeating herself.

"Hey hey hey."
Rishabh said while walking towards her.

"You alright?"
He continued.

"No, I'm not. I'm not an actress Rishabh. I'm a model. I can't act. I can't deliver a dialogue. I can't. I can't. I can't."
YN confessed.

Rishabh hold her hands and said,
"Hey, I know. You're not an actress. It might look difficult but it's just simple"

"No, it's not"

Rishabh moved his hand to her face and cupped her face.
"Look at me. I'm a cricketer. I know how to play not act. But we have to do this. Step by step. Okay?"

YN nodded. But she was still breathing rapidly.
Rishabh pulled her into a hug.
He could smell her vanilla shampoo.
He started roaming his hand on her hair and said,
"First, you get ready and come out. Then just read the dialogue with me. Then we will see afterwards"

"Hmm"
She was still holding Rishabh tightly.

"Okay. I'm waiting outside. Get ready"
Rishabh said while breaking the hug.

Step by step they completed their commercial.

In the room:

"I'm going for my meeting YN"

YN went towards him and hold his hand to stop him.

"Rishabh wait!"

"Hm?"

"Umm... Ummm..."

Rishabh raised his eyebrow.

"I... Thank you. Um, thank you for talking some sense to me."

"It's fine. You needed it. And I was thinking if we want this to go smoothly, we could be friends. I mean it won't be that bad"

"Yeah. I liked that"
YN smiled from ear to ear.

Rishabh smiled back. YN was looking into Rishabh's eyes. She was not trying the break eye contact. 

"Are you planning to leave my hand? I mean I won't mind but I have a meeting to attend"

YN realised and let it go.
Blushed at Rishabh's comment about holding hands.

"Bye"
Rishabh said while closing the door.

I mean a little flirting won't be that bad.
He thought.
---------------------

IPL was over and now it was time for an Australia tour of India. Rishabh was selected for the T20I squad of India. Rishabh shared this news with YN after informing his family and he doesn't know why.

Yes, he has been flirting with her but it was platonic right?

YN had got a few deals with her. She's really busy nowadays.

The couple has not been spotted recently but they never fail to show their love(fake) on social media.

They share each other's work. Like and comment on pictures.

They were the ideal couple.

Rishabh left for Australia a month ago for practice and warm-up matches.

It was the 2nd T20, and India was leading. Rishabh was batting on 92. Rishabh had his beast mode on.

YN was cheering him with other wives.

Pat Cummins came to bowl the 19th over.
India needed 10 runs to win.
Rishabh was in form and confident.

19.1 no run.
19.2 2 runs
19.3 1 runs
19.4 1 run
19.5 four
19.6 Out

And Rishabh Pant goes out on 99 and Australia wins by 3 wickets.

YN could see Rishabh on his knees with his head down.
Ashwin was consoling him.
Not only he got out on 99 but also India lost the match.

YN was cleaning the room when she heard the door open and close.
Rishabh directly went to the shower.
YN could see that it was not the ordinary Rishabh.
She sighed and waited for him to come out.

After 45 mins, he came out with a T-shirt and shorts and a towel around his neck.

"Rish-"

"Fuck"
Rishabh screamed and threw his towel on the couch.
In the last 10 months, YN has never seen Rishabh so angry.

"Rishabh calm down"
YN tried to speak.

"I fucked up. I could have done better. We could have won the fucking game. But nooo"
Rishabh blamed himself for the result.

"Why? I know how to handle pat. I'm the dumbest cricketer. I don't deserve to be here".
Rishabh was now sitting on the bed.

YN could hear the difference in his tone.

She went towards him and sat on her knees in front of Rishabh.

"No, you are not"
"Rishabh, look here"
YN continued.

But Rishabh ignored her.
YN put her hands on his face to make him look at her.
"You're not the dumbest cricketer. There's a reason you are in playing 11 for the Indian team. And in every match, one team wins and the other losses."

"I could have-"

"Yes, you could have. But everything doesn't go with the plan. You can't blame yourself for that. You are a hardworking cricketer. You have proved yourself on multiple occasions. You will do it again and again and again."

Rishabh was looking into YNs brown eyes.

She stood up and sat beside him.

He's calming down.
She thought.
But her thoughts were stopped when Rishabh cuddled her.

Rishabh had his face on YN's crook of the neck.

"I don't know what to do. I feel lost"

YN brought him close by putting her hand on his shoulder and back.

"You know when good things keep happening after a certain point it gets less exciting. It's more exciting when you fell and get on top again. You have another ODI, bowlers will think that you might be down after the last match. And that's when you prove them wrong. Show them who the real Rishabh Pant is"

Rishabh smiled and looked up.
Their faces were really close to each other.

YN look at his eyes than his lips and back to his eyes.
Rishabh took the leap of faith and connected their soft lips.

Both of them back off thinking the other person doesn't want it.
But both of them had the sparkle with this touch.
They looked at each other and kissed again.
This time with passion.

It was the 3rd ODI.
Rishabh was walking towards the strike.
YN was cheering him.

After a heated make-out session, they fell asleep. And they didn't talk about it or did it again.

Pat Cummins came to bowl the ball to Rishabh. He took out his frustration and it was a six. The ball literally when out of the stadium.

India won the match.
Rishabh was magnificent and pat Cummins end up giving 55 runs and most of them were from Rishabh.

The team came to the hotel. They were welcomed with warm wishes.
YN was standing and watching everything.

Rishabh spotted YN and went towards her and hugged and spin her around.

"Congratulations"
"Thank you!"

"Hey, you are free for dinner tomorrow?"
Rishabh asked.

"Yes"

"Then it's a date"
--------------------------

The last two months were great for Rishabh.
YN and Rishabh had started dating for real.
They talk for hours when she is on a shoot.
They share every detail. Now the showing of love on social media is real.

There are a lot of cute pictures of them. They have gone on numerous dates.
Rishabh even in his recent interview said that it's all because of the lady luck.

But it's been a year. The contract comes to end. They have to break up.

Raj had sent a message to both of them about the breakup.

YN was in Lakme fashion week. She read the message and was upset. She tried calling Rishabh but he was not picking up.

Finally, everything was falling into place and just a few hours before her first big show this message was delivered.

Maybe it's over. Rishabh isn't picking up his phone. Maybe all that was just for PR and fun.
She thought.

It was too much for her. She needs to focus on herself right now.

She was ready and after 2 girls it was her turn.

Just keep walking.
She repeated.

"Go"
It was her turn.

She started walking. Faking smile.

And then on the first row, she saw someone.

It was Rishabh.

He was cheering her.

Her fake smile turned into a genuine smile.

Rishabh was mesmerised by her beauty.

She did her walk splendidly.

After the show, Rishabh came backstage to congratulate her.

"You were so good"
Rishabh said.

"Thank you. But what about-"

Before she could complete Rishabh kissed her.

After a heat kissing session.

"Yes, the deal is off. But we aren't."
Rishabh said.
He was still holding her by the waist.

"Really?"

"Yes. You can't get rid of me that easily"

"And I don't want to"

"I love you, YFN"
Rishabh confessed.

"I love you too Rishabh Pant"
