" We won, we did it Tanvi, we won!" Abhishek's voice echoed in delight.

Tanvi softly chuckled over the other line.

" I'm so proud of you Abhay."

" Can I facetime you?" He asked,

He'd badly wanted Tanvi around during the Zimbabwe series,

Eshanya had come too, for Yashasvi, and although, the two of them insisted it was for showing the media how supportive a girlfriend is she, everyone knew what the truth was.

To his utter misfortune, Tanvi couldn't make it.

He tried not to show his disappointment,
but how couldn't he?

He desperately wanted her around when he had the biggest moments of life, when he experienced that joy, to share it with her.

" Uh...I can't really facetime right now Abhay. I'm so sorry."

" Oh..it's...it's okay." Abhishek tried wearing off the disappointment.

" Are you...out?" He asked, trying to figure out why.

" I am. I'm so sorry Abhay."

" It's okay Tanvi...you needn't apologise."

He frowned as her voice began breaking, and he suddenly couldn't make out what she was saying, it was too incohorent.

Bad network probably. He tried assuring himself.

" Tanvi? Are you there?"

To his utter disappointment, the call got cut and he sighed, his gaze flickering towards everyone else in the room.

Yashasvi was busy bickering with Eshanya, while she kept shooting him comical looks,

Shubman was typing away something on his phone with the widest of grins etched on his face, and Abhay didn't need anyone to tell him he was talking to Sara.

Dhruv was talking to his parents,

Riyan was scrolling through reels, unbothered.

And the rest committed men in the changing rooms were happily talking to their partners.

Letting out a dejected sigh, he slumped down on one of the chairs.

He did not hear the door open, or sense umpteen eyes flicker towards him.

He was just way too engrossed in his own world.

" Why's the sunshine not sunshine anymore?" Tanvi's melodious voice echoed and his head shot up, only to see her grin down at him.

" Tanvi!" His eyes lit up like crackers, childlike delight spreading on his face as he stood up, engulfing her in a bone-crushing hug.

His arms snaked around her waist and lifted her up, and spun her around, the same old wide smile stretched across his lips again, and he beamed with joy, not bothering about the umpteen pair of eyes on them.

With each spin, he elicted giggles from her, his hands around her waist, and she tightened her hold on him, her eyes closed.

Eshanya had one of her contagious smiles etched widely across her face as she saw her best-friend laugh after long.

And Yashasvi stared at her, his expression softening, a hint of a smile on his face, absolutely unaware that he was giving his fake girlfriend heart eyes.

Shubman smiled, his dimples flashing as he saw his best-friend genuinely happy.

As Abhay finally stopped, he looked back at her with an adorable frown.

" You lied to me!" He accused and she laughed.

" I wanted to keep it a surprise!"

" Unfair! You're being unfair."

" I'm sorry." She said earnestly but he shook his head, turning his gaze away.

" Abhayyy!" She tugged at his jersey, still in his arms, his arms around her waist.

" Let go." He mumbled, his anger beginning to melt away.

" Sunshineee pleaseee!"

" No you can't call me that!" His frown deepened and he looked endearing.

" Why not?" She asked innocently.

" I'm mad! You can't call me that when I'm mad!"

" C'mon Sunshine, I'm genuinely sorry. I really really really wanted to surprise you! Forgive me please!"

" I've a condition."

" Accepted!" Tanvi said immediately without knowing what it was.

" You won't ask what?"

" I accept whatever it is!"

" You're going to spend the next two days with me! Eshanya can spend two days with her boyfriend."

Many in the team, unaware of Eshanya and Yashasvi's contract, shot the couple teasing glances.

" Of-course she can!" Yashasvi nodded and Eshanya narrowed her eyes at him, bewildered at his abnormal behavior.

" Accepted accepted!"

" Tanvi!" Eshanya whined and Yashasvi scoffed.

" So you don't want to spend time with me?" He asked, feigning offence and she sighed dramatically.

" How can I not not want to spend time with my boyfriend! Apne 'pasandida mard' ko itne dino baad mil rahi hoon mai! Aise kaise yeh opportunity jaane du!"

Yashasvi tried hard biting back a smile, but failed miserably and looked away, rolling his eyes with the smile playing on his lips.

" But but...you just met during the world cup!" Riyan said, confused and Dhruv sighed, slapping a hand on his forehead.

" Arey yaar! Tu dumb hai, dumb hi rahega! Dimaag chala! Yashasvi wants to spend time with his girlfriend!"

Riyan's lips parted to speak but Shubman thrust a piece of bread in his mouth in order to shut him up.

" Chup hoja." He told him, sighing exasperatedly and Riyan tsked.

Oblivious to Riyan's dumbness and chaos, Abhay and Tanvi's attention was fixated on each other.

Shubman smiled seeing them.

And he said, he's not in love. Stupid boy.
Shaking his head, he walked out of the room to call Sara, leaving them with each other.

And as everyone else departed, they noticed no one leave, simply delighted to be with each other.
