CHAPTER 3
A/N DROP INLINE COMMENTS PLEASE.
Jaddu stood on the balcony, lost in memories of a night from four years ago. The only difference now was that he wasn't haunted by grief. Everything was vivid in his mind—the catch he missed, Mahi bhai's final World Cup, the collective heartbreak. It replayed like a movie, but curiously, it didn't sting anymore. They say the things that can wound you are also the things that can mend you, and their recent victory over the same team at the same stage had somehow healed those old wounds. Deep in thought, he noticed a familiar figure emerging from the hotel, moving briskly.
""Where could Shubh be heading at this hour?" Jaddu wondered, watching as the figure disappeared into the darkness.
"Just a moment ago, he was in such a low place, complaining about how poorly he was performing and how he couldn't contribute. Now, where is he going? Oh no, is he going somewhere to hurt himself? Why do these young ones always turn to such drastic measures over small setbacks?" Jaddu muttered to himself calling out his name but finding no response
"What should I do? What if he's gone off somewhere? Should I go after him?" Jaddu was going to leap from the balcony, but he froze as he looked down and saw the dizzying height.
"Who should I call? Who can help? Wait, yes, I need to reach out to someone." he sprinted downstairs towards certain someone's room murmuring to himself His frantic pace and muffled words caught the attention of an already awake Harry, who stepped out of his room.
Meanwhile, Ishan was running frantically to catch up with Shubman when he collided with Harry.
"Ishu, where are you running off to at this hour? Harry asked surprised.
"Bhaiya Shubman's gone! I need to catch up with him. Please, don't delay" Ishan said without breaking his stride and Harry frowned trying to process the urgency of the situation..
"Looks like there's a night race going on and no one bothered to tell me" Harry whined to himself.
"Wait, wait, wait—It means Shubman and Ishan are running away from home oops hotel? Oh, wow, finally" Harry said excitedly
"Rohit bhaiya" Harry sing heading towards his room to wake him up.
"Nushkay Nushkay wake up" Virat said gently shaking Anushka from her deep sleep.
"Go away, Virat. Let me sleep," Anushka said swatting his hand away.
"Hey Shubh has run away" Virat said excitedly, trying to get her attention
"Huhtdfhjarknka" Anushka mumbled barely coherent.
"Umm what?" Virat shake her again.
""Well, go check for yourself. He must be chasing Ishan," Anushka said tossing over in the bed.
"No, he's run off with Sara to get married!" Virat said shaking her and she woke up with a jerk.
"What? Where have they gone?" Anushka asked wide-eyed.
"Oh, Nushkay, when they run off to get married, where do they go? They've headed to a temple!" Virat said tugging her hairs behind ears.
"Does Sachin Paaji know?" Anushka asked and Virat slapped his for head.
"Who runs off telling their parents, Nushkay? What are you talking about? Come on, we need to get going" Virat said and Anushka quickly got out of the bed.
""Does Ishan know about this?" Anushka questioned again.
"Obviously, he already left. Now, you should come along too," Virat huffed at her queries.
"Yes, but what should I wear? I didn't exactly bring a lehenga for watching the World Cup" Anushka said glancing at her closet.
"Nushkie just come as you are" Virat said facepalming himself.
""Yes, but my pictures won't look good like this" Anushka pouted.
"Look, Shubman and Sara ran off in their pajamas—it's basically a pajama wedding. Just come on, or I'm going without you!" Virat said clearly annoyed.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming! Just let me grab my favorite lipstick" Anushka said quickly grabbing her lipstick as Virat dragged her along.
"All the cars are punctured—they must have left like that. We'll have to go on foot" Virat said as Anushka was moving towards the cars.
"Here, take this and keep it safe—it's my favorite" Anushka said tossing the lipstick at Virat who caught it deftly.
"Look at Shubman—he didn't even tell me, his favorite bhabhi. I'm going to have a serious talk with him!" Anushka said exasperated and run off to catch up with them
""Should I put it in the top pocket or the bottom one for better safety... Hey, Nushkie, wait up! I'm coming too!" Virat said running behind Anushka stuffing the lipstick in his pocket.
"Mahi bhai Mahi bhai wake up" Jaddu panted, banging on the door of his older brother who was there to support them.
"What is it Jaddu, I'm not interested" Mahi bhai replied groggily from inside the room.
"Bhai open the door! There's a problem" Jaddu urged.
"What happened? Did you break Virat's new watch as part of your prank?" Mahi bhai asked half-asleep.
"No, bhai, it's a bigger issue" Jaddu said hastily.
""Why, did the two buildings in Jamnagar finally merge or something?" Mahi bhai asked uninterestedly.
"No, bhai, it's even bigger than that" Jaddu said urgently.
"Did you lose your imaginary sword" Mahi bhai quizzed wit a hint of sarcasm.
"NO, BHAI, IT'S EVEN BIGGER—THE BIGGEST!" Jaddu exclaimed and Mahi bhai wung open the door in a flash.
"What's happened? Mahi bhai asked worried.
"Bhai, Shubman was really stressed about his form and was about to commit suicide. I tried to stop him, but he left. I thought about what to do and decided to wake you up. Together, we can handle this situation" Jaddu said in one breath and Mahi bhai quickly grabbed his mobile phone from the room and the duo hurried outside.
"It's so late, and we can't find any cabs. We can't wait any longer" Mahi bhai said checking for the cabs online as they stepped outside.
"Bhai, all the cars are punctured. We'll have to go on foot," Jaddu informed him.
"But one thing doesn't make sense—why would Shubman go outside? He could have done this in his room" Mahi bhai's sane thoughts spoke.
"Bhai, what are you saying? Maybe Shubman doesn't want to ruin Ishan's sleep. How does it matter, Let's go" Jaddu said disappointed.
"Yeah what's wrong with me" Mahi bhai said running alongside Jaddu.
"Wait, I'm coming as well." Jaddu said going behind him.
Here, Harry barged into Rohit's room, fully aware it's never locked.
"Cap Ro wake up, hurry!" Harry s shouted, shaking him so roughly that he tumbled out of the bed.
"Ooi what's going on? Harry, have you gone crazy?"" Rohit said struggling to keep his eyes open.
"BRo, Shubman and Ishan have run off! Harry informed excitedly.
"What kind of time is this to be running off? I told you, no one would be awake this late—there's morning practice tomorrow" Rohit said resting his head and sleeping at Harry's shoulder.
""Bro, why will two guys run away in the middle of the night? They've gone off to get married," Harry said moving away from his spot and Rohit fell down, jolting awake again.
"IS THIS ANY TIME TO GET MARRIED? THE FINAL IS IN TWO DAYS! I SAID I CAN'T AFFORD ANY DISTRACTIONS BEFORE THE FINAL—WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE, DO IT AFTER. NOW WHO'S GOING TO PLAY IN THE FINAL? GO, HARRY, BRING THEM BACK!" Rohit said panicked and Harry glanced at already awaked Ritika.
"Alright, I'll go wake up Vi since his kids have run off. He'll come with me. You get some sleep, bro" Harry said playing his card well.
" "No, don't wake him up—he'll just end up marrying them off and sending them on their honeymoon. Who will play in the final then? Wait, I'll handle this," Rohit said waking up and glancing at Ritika in surprise.
"When did you wake up, and where are you going?" Rohit asked.
"Chasing after Shubman and Ishan" Ritika said solemnly.
"But Sammy" Rohit asked.
"Oh, she sleeps once and then doesn't wake up again" Rits said moving forward with Harry while Rohit looked at her, feeling deceived.
"Let's go, let's go, quickly!" Harry urged, running outside excitedly with a confused Ritika and a final-kaise-hoga looking Rohit.
