A sigh of relief left her lips as cold water touch her bare skin and soumya stand still while showering at the bathroom of the dressing room.

It's a habit of her to have bath after a match .

"Cap mahi with others are outside waiting for you with their wives."
Soumya hear shefali from outside and say a quick 'I'm coming".

Thoughts were clouding her brain that how would she face him and his wife .

Men's team scattered around here and there talking about different topics with the women's team while their wives would take part some time.

" So desperate to talk huh"
Soumya enter the room drying her short wet hair with a towel and immediately got wrapped in a tight hug by Anushka .

One by one they got their time with her but it was Rahul who take the longest cause he missed her the most after that her eyes look around for mahi bhai and her bhabhi.

She sprint off towards them both and wrapped both of them in her arms.

"I missed you both "
Her voice broke a little only for the couple to hear.

"It's okay bacha we missed you too and now we are here na"
Mahi rub her back while Sakhi push her away a little and place her hand on her cheeks.

"Ab no loosing connection okay "
She caress Soumya's cheek making the latter lean on her hand .

Natasha the most impatient one to meet Soumya was bouncing on her heels making hardik held her back.

"Stop with it Natasha "
Soumya chuckle as she moved to stand in front of Natasha only for the latter to blush furiously.

Hardik and Soumya look at each other and roll their eyes while everyone else in the room laughed at the trio.

After the rough breakup there relation is still one of a deep friendship which neither of them can deny.

Finding her confidence again Natasha forward her hand to soumya and introduce herself which wasn't needed.

"You played so well today I convinced Hardik for the trip to see you play and now I am meeting you in person"
She gracefully said her words making Soumya smile wider.

"I see you like me much more than him"
Soumya point to hardik "I appreciate your words to Natasha . Well then why not we have dinner together"
She look over to everyone with suggesting look.

"Haan jarur aur main tere sath hi baithunga"
Rishabh walk over to soumya and drape his arm with her.

"Why not golu tu toh mera partner in crime hai "
They hi-fi each other just then Rahul and Shreyas smack our hands away.

" Oh hello we are also here "
Shreyas point over to himself and Rahul with frown on their face.

We laugh out loud at their acting and started to walk out of the stadium.

Soumya's team members were going to their hotel as they want her to have time with others.

Her bodyguards were waiting outside and quickly take her bag from her hands keeping it in the backseat.

Rishabh being a man child quickly jump inside her car and stuck out his tongue to her recieving an eye roll in return.

〰️

Laughing at Shreyas joke she hit him hard on his back making him choke on air and he started coughing, making Soumya laugh harder as she hand him a glass of water.

"Thoda toh lihaz rakh yaar aise kon marta hai "
He turn to look at her while she just grin at him .

Her phone vibrate inside her pocket and she excuse herself from the table to receive her father's call.

" Hello , papa

Soumya stood at the garden disturbed by the new information thrown her way.
Yes sushant was acting a little weird but she thought that it's not important.

Oh! How wrong she was.
