An:- I know we have won T20 WC this year but the time I wrote chapter that dream was yet to fulfil initially had written India Vs NZ later I changed into Aussies I don't remember if anywhere I have or haven't changed player's name, I was in dillema regarding publishing this chapter back then I wrote this just to gift myself a good alternative (happy) ending as it has to be 19 Nov a day before my birthday then I got busy with farewell exam I had lost access to this account somewhere I had lost my motivation too but keeping everything aside I am publishing this

Aashi's Pov

As I kept my palm on my heart it was beating so hard that "I wish I could be like tension, anxiety, fear, anger they has this much of freedom to go any where time they can pop of aby where doesn't matter how much hateness they received "

They are free from everything they have every independence which I lack I jut wished to disappear right now but I can't they are expressive which I can't as I can't create a room for fights even in this case they too outcast me they can ruin everything without thinking of other here I am a biggest failure in handling everything I wish I could be like papa

As I look into the mirror for putting the linner I can see trails of tear from my eye has started their journey to ruin my makeup

That's why I hate crying they just ruin everything I sigh removing the kajal mark

"Bhootni how much time will you take?" I can hear teasing voice of my elder sister who was standing at the door and my reflection is clearly Visible to her "she got another reason to tease me"

Mami said we shouldn't disrespect elder but never at cost of your self respect I have sensitive ego to get offended with this although we have visible age gap but we have typical competition like girls have

"My kajal got smujged"I answered politely trying to control myself from spoiling everything but she go beyond it "This what happen when you use low standard cheap product" she teased I was frowning at her  "Use a better brand then you will need extra time in getting ready" she suggested me as I nodded still controling stupid frustration that is coming out of now where "let me help you" I let her do so I closed my eyes allowing her to do so

"She is not that bad as I thought but this stupid God knows for what frustration always has to overpower me"

Just then our younger sister came to join us "Sorry for coming latey as you know my pop can't live without me  I was giving him the company I hope you understand didis" she said

Is she taunting me? I asked to myself as I see didi nodding at her anyway she always does she can't stop herself from talking about her father which is not bad may be I am overthinking not may be I am overthinking its her and Its everyone right to have a good and strong relation with their parents to be expressive about their parents me being deprived of my parents is not their fault so they don't have to stop their nature for me and my stupid mood swings
"I hate them, I hate my mind for this type of stupid thoughts"

"Hamare piche hi pad gayi thi tayar ho jao tayar ho jao yeh khud idhar tayar nahin huyi idhar toh sabha chal raha hain" Anmol bhai followed by Amol bhai joined us

"I could have sleep more, you just deprived me from my sleep" Amol bhai Frowned at me all of us chuckled at him

"We were waiting for you guys" my didi urff eldest of all come into the picture "ladki dekhne jane ki tarah tayar ho rahe the"

Both of them frown they were looking cute I pick my phone to click their pictures so Anmol bhai tried to snatch the phone from me

Just then badi mami enter as ny saviour "Anmol is this a way to behave with your sister?" I mainted my masoom face "sorry" wishpered

As ordered by eldest mamishree Mrs eldest Sharma we left for living room for Rakhi where Mami was arranging the things nani along with mummy as usual sulking while gossiping mausi masa ignoring them I headed toward mami but she glare at me asking me to meet them frowning at her I went to them with shortest ever possible talk I left the place join the rest of the party

"Let us help you mami" my didi volunteerly joined mami so both if us followed her

"Sikh usse kuch kal ko shaadi hogi toh kiya karegi?" Amol bhai teased me I frowned at her

"Amol" Mami scolded him

We continue with rakhi rituals I got a skin care kit, didi got a makeup kit much to my shock she didn't throw tantrum regarding brands I again misunderstood her? For youngest of our sisters perfume collection was the present

"Apne ghar rakhi nahin bhijwai?" Asked maasi confusing us
"Array apne dadi ghare chachre bhaiyon ke liye" she cleared herself
I dined "bhej deti wha kiya sochenge nanihaal bale kaan bhardiye hain ki yeh bhul gayi main after all tum uss ghar ki badi beti ho" Masa his view

Ghar ki beti? As if they remember

"So what from last 15 years she is the daughter of this house so there feelings doesn't matter" My rockstar Mami answered on my behalf that's why I love her my own mother never take a stand for me rather she pushes me away was glaring at me for calling me her nd this family l's daughter

Day went well free from dramas...

Its late in the night and Aashi's family is having dinner as her brother's are back after a long time so dinning area was busting with their laughter Trio were busy with pulling each other legs and elders are busy in pulling their ears frequently forcing them to finish the dinner first

"Nalyaks" her mamu muttered shooking his head as he found them playing hide and seak with meal which gained trios attention and they got alerted "Nursery ke forms layun?" He asked them trio shook their head "20+ hoke harkate do saal ke bacho jaisi" "kaun bolega ek naukri kar raha baki dono karne bale hain monkeys"

Trio bowed their head now silently having their dinner "hamare jamane main business sambhalte the tum logo se shaanti se khana khaya nahin ja raha" he continued just then her mami intrupted "badi badi baate aapke books sajti hain ghar pe nahin aishi stories apne staffs ko sunana bacho ki nahin kaun kitne paani main hain saaf dikhta hain" Trio chucked but Mr Sharma's glare silent them

"Okay leave our generation if we will look into this generation I can say that kids these days are more productive than us which is obvious for your kind information guys you know most of our staffs are of your age" he informed them in normal tone

"few of them are doing job taking complete responsibility of family and others are doing part time job to contribute in their family one is from your college Aashi today one more classmate of your has came in search of job she is joining from tomorrow"he informed about their family business

"All of them are independent and they taking their own responsibility I wish my kids to learn from them" he instructed them"They will learn with time" Mrs Sharma said in support of kids "When I denied?" He questioned her "Then why you are comparing them?" She counter

Sensing upcoming war Trio said in unison "we are done for today" saying so they left with their plate before the fire ignite

India has never won a world cup in past 28 years

A magnificent strike into the crowd India lift the world cup after 28 yeats

Words of Shastri from 2011 echoed in every one heart as it is 2023 ODI World cup final between India and Australia excited crowd didn't get chill waiting for 'Mahi' in current team to finishes up in style expecting a Gambhir to manage through out the presence and hoping for a fighter like Yuvi

After back to back consequitive win every fan has gained the confidence that 'we are going to be the world champion'

With a great celebration match begin with Gill Rohit walking into the field

After few bad over for India real game begin with a great century from Rohit raised Audiance confidence althiugy Gill has to depart early Kohli walk into the field preparing fans for another century

After Rohit Iyer enter into the race of smashing Australian bowlers Eden Garden was filled with audience excitement

I wasn't able to control my happiness its double not double but multiple happiness wala match Rohirat Century a great start from team India everything excites the audience and biggest part is MSD is there in the VIP box discussing something with Tendulkar in Gambhir praising Dhoni for a strong partnership between them in 2011

Just then crowd roses celebrate 51st century of Kohli he celebrate it more than 50th century Smith Cummin hugs him in way if congratulating him in next ball he get caught our as Rachin got the ball

Silence cover the crowd My heart stop for a bit I started cursing my self for my overexcitment

But Iyer Rahul partnership help us to score near 300 with Jaddu's 50 to be added as he replace Iyer when get out

So batting from India was way great a massive for Austria with a strong bowling lined up

All though commenters are repeating this kinda stuff my heart is not ready to accept its like a dream witnessing India's win in World Cup final Mahi waving at his fans including me I'll die with heart attack both of excitement and misery depending on our victory

I started praying as Warner Head cames with bad with every ball my heart beat increased scene was same all over Eden Garden without the music or shout all can be heard was our heart beat which got a relief when Siraj get the 1st wicket of Head who has to depart completing his half century

Warner Marsh were giving tough competition to our bowlers bring a nail biting nervousness but Shami ends the partnership by dismissing warner

Now its 40th over going on Aus has scored 250 run when Maxwell join the squad I love Maxwell in his previous match but not for today I am sounding like selfish but watan je aage kuch nahin end of the discussion

All my fear are turning true as he stick till last at the last ball 3 runs were required for Australia to conquered the world for 6th time audiance was in verge of crying

Bumrah was doing last over with the last ball he hit for a six I closed my eye expecting a heart break but Jadeja saves the day as he caught the ball near the boundary loud cheers and crackers made me to believe this happening for real this man has increased my respect for him 1st a win for CSK now India he shines at the right time

I couldn't control my excitement as I started jumping I missed edge and fall from the stadium into the field

I wake up with a jerk as I find my bedroom instead iyf Eden Garden
Again a dream I sighed but it was damn beautiful why we fall in dreams but watching 2011 final match was best decision atleast in my dream India won atleast in my dream Rohit lift cup bringing tears in Dhoni Tendulkar eyes a dream that can refresh me from yesterday's chaos

********
I know we got a cup this year but back then I was so disheartened that I wrote this one about Jaddu's catch I have taken that from 2023 WC catch only (not exactly long off I wrote everything from whole WC campaign)
