The plan was simple. 

At least, it had seemed simple when Yashodha Mathur and Shubman Gill were 10 years old, sitting cross-legged on her bedroom floor, sharing a single bag of chips and dreaming about a future they barely understood.

If they were 25 and still single, they'd just date each other. First love, first kiss, first everything.

And just like that, the pact was born—a childish promise, sealed with pinky promises, cookies, chips and laughter.

Years passed, and life happened. They stayed friends, of course, but the promise? 

It became an unspoken thing between them, hidden beneath layers of stolen glances and awkward silences they never dared to dissect. They also forgot about it, to be honest.

By 2024, Shubman Gill was 25. The world knew his name—cricket star, heartthrob, the kind of man women wrote poems about. 

He had a smile that could charm a room, a body honed from relentless practice, and yet, no girlfriend. 

Not one. People speculated: was he too picky? Too busy? But only Shubman knew the truth.

He hadn't dated anyone because the shadow of a girl with wild hair, sharp wit, and an even sharper tongue loomed over his heart. 

Yashodha Mathur had ruined him for anyone else, and the worst part? She didn't even know it.

Yashodha, meanwhile, was thriving—or so she told herself. Ambitious, fiery, and annoyingly independent, she worked as an editor for the fashion company of Alexander Mcqueen, crushed every goal she set, and somehow managed to look stunning while doing it. 

Men were drawn to her confidence, but she dismissed them all. Too boring, too clingy, too not Shubman.

And then came September 2024.

On the 8th, Shubman turned 25. His teammates threw him a party, the media buzzed with gossip, and fans flooded his social media with love. 

He smiled, laughed, played along—but the absence of someone particular stung. 

By the 11th, it was her turn. Yashodha sat on her couch, surrounded by her closest friends, as they teased her about being single. 

She laughed it off but their words hit home. 

She thought of him: Shubman, with his stupidly perfect jawline, his easy laugh, and the way he always made her feel like the most important person in the room.

The 2 were in love with each other. They had forgotten about the pact. So the universe decided to nudge them. Because love was never part of the plan, or maybe it always had been.

They just hadn't realized it yet.
