As Shubman arrived at the hotel, a sense of anticipation filled him. The familiar surroundings of the team hotel offered a sense of camaraderie and belonging, a welcome respite from the whirlwind of events at the airport.

Stepping through the doors, He was greeted by the familiar faces of his teammates from the Gujarat Titans. Their boisterous laughter and animated chatter filled the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere of excitement and anticipation.

"Shubman! You made it!" exclaimed Hardik Pandya, the captain of the Titans Team, clapping him on the back with a grin. "We were starting to think you got lost on the way."

Shubman laughed, exchanging greetings with his teammates as he settled into the familiar routine of team camaraderie.

As Shubman and his teammates prepared for their next match against RCB, the atmosphere at the hotel buzzed with anticipation.

Amidst the flurry of activity, a familiar presence caught Shubman's attention – none other than Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.

With a mixture of excitement and awe, Shubman approached the esteemed couple, his admiration for the cricketing legend and his talented spouse evident in his expression.

"Virat bhai , Anushka bhabhi, kese ho?," Shubman greeted them warmly, extending his hand in greeting.

Virat returned the gesture with a friendly pat on his shoulder. Sab changa Shubman," he replied, his voice carrying the weight of his legendary status in the cricketing world.

As the conversation with Virat and Anushka continued, Anushka couldn't resist a playful tease directed at Shubman.

"So, Shubman, I heard an interesting rumor recently," she began, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Shubman's brows furrowed in confusion, unsure of what she was referring to. "Oh? What rumor is that?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.

Anushka flashed him a knowing smile. "Apparently, there's been talk of you being spotted with a mysterious girl at the airport," she teased, her tone light with amusement.

Shubman's eyes widened in surprise, a flush creeping up his neck at the mention of the gossip. "Oh, that," he stammered, feeling suddenly self-conscious under Anushka's teasing gaze. "It's nothing, just a chance encounter."

Virat chuckled at Shubman's reaction, shooting him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Shubman. We've all been there," he reassured him, his tone teasing.

Relieved by Virat's understanding, Shubman couldn't help but laugh at himself, realizing the absurdity of the situation.

"Well, I guess you can't escape the rumors, even for a moment," he admitted, shaking his head in amusement.

Anushka's playful demeanor shifted slightly as she leaned in with a curious expression.

"So, Shubman, do you mind sharing the name of this mysterious girl?" she inquired, her tone laced with playful curiosity.

Shubman paused for a moment, considering his response. "Her name is Hira, Hira Sarabhai" he replied, his voice soft but tinged with a hint of intrigue.

Anushka's eyebrows shot up in surprise at the unexpected revelation. "Hira Sarabhai, you say?" she repeated, a thoughtful expression crossing her features.

Shubman nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Yes, it seems our paths keep crossing," he remarked, his gaze drifting off as he recalled their chance encounters.

Anushka exchanged a knowing glance with Virat, their silent communication conveying a shared understanding.

"Well, Shubman, it sounds like fate has a funny way of bringing people together," she commented, her tone filled with warmth and encouragement.

As Shubman bid farewell to Virat and Anushka, thanking them once again for their encouragement and support, the couple exchanged a knowing glance.

After Shubman had left, Anushka turned to Virat with a playful smile.

"You know, I think we should do something nice for Shubman," she suggested, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

Virat raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Anushka's suggestion. "Oh? And what did you have in mind?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.

Anushka leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper.

"What if we surprised him by inviting Hira to the match tomorrow evening ?" she proposed, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.

Virat's eyes lit up with excitement at the idea. "I love it!" he exclaimed, his enthusiasm matching Anushka's. "That would be the perfect way to surprise him."

With their plan in motion, Virat and Anushka set to work coordinating the surprise.

Back to Hira,

As Hira helped her mom set the table for dinner, the familiar sound of the doorbell echoed through the house, signaling her father's return.

With a smile, she exchanged a glance with her mother before hurrying to answer the door.

Opening the door, Hira was greeted by the sight of her father standing at the entrance, a warm smile lighting up his face. "Dad, you're home!" she exclaimed, enveloping him in a tight hug.

Her father returned her embrace, his voice filled with affection. "It's good to be home, betu," he replied, his gaze sweeping over the table set for dinner. "Everything smells delicious."

With her father's arrival, the house seemed to come alive with warmth and laughter.

As they shared stories and caught up on each other's lives, Hira's phone rang once, interrupting their conversation.

Curious, Hira rose from the table to answer it, wondering who could be calling at this hour.

As She answered the phone, loud and cheerful voice of Anushka booms through the phone,
