As not everyone wanted to read Shreyas and Ananya's love story...I will pen it down as a separate story.  And another important thing, as the IPL season will be started soon, I am planning to start a book named "IPL memories: Off the record" where I will be posting my thoughts and few moments during the IPL matches. Are you up for it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mahi bhai's house, everyone gathered near the dining table and sat down to have dinner. As the servants were serving them,

"Anu, I want to know your love story", asked Hardik out of nowhere.

"Harry, why so suddenly and moreover there is nothing special...it's all you know", I replied fidgeting with the spoon trying to concentrate only on my plate.

"No, I want to know how you fell for Shreyas?", asked Hardik not in a mood to leave the conversation making my bothers smile and me embarrassed. As God seemed to hear my prayers, my phone beeped.

"Lo, think of the devil and the devil is here", said Gabbar looking at the caller Id.

"I will talk to him and come", saying which I slipped from there to the balcony.

"Hey handsome, you know what Harry and Rithika bhabhi want to know our love story", I answered the Video call from Shreyas.

"That's great...do tell them how unromantic you were and how a gentleman like me handled you God knows for nearly 365 days", replied Shreyas with a chuckle.

"I agree that I am unromantic but who is the gentleman here. Don't you remember the first three months when you are behaving completely like a crazy man", I said taking it as a chance to tease him.

"Hello madam, I haven't even spoken to you for the first six months after we met okay?", said Shreyas in his defense.

"Ya ya, you did everything except the talking", I said and instantly bit my tongue realizing what I said.

 "You can't blame me if someone is blushing so much making me go crazy", said Shreyas with a cute smirk evident on his face.

"I told you right that now I am yours, you can stop flirting", I said trying to divert the topic.

"It's inbuilt princess. Can't help it", he shrugged his shoulders all the while smile playing on his lips. I was completely lost in his smile which would make my mood better on any day. Though we had been together for just a year, he understands me so well...taking care of me just like my brothers. For a girl who was all alone since her childhood, these emotions and love are God's gifts which I can't imagine losing any time in my lifetime.

"I know it's difficult to take your eyes off me, but I am feeling sleepy...", said Shreyas catching me staring at him.

"Sorry Shreyu for keeping you awake so late. I love you, take care", I said feeling apologetic.

"I love you more. Mahi bhai told me to pick you up from Ranchi once I return from Newzealand but I think you have to stay a little longer as I have to go to Chicago...wanna join me?", asked Shreyas.

"No, I am good here", I replied.

"Okay then bye..bye...miss you", said Shreyas before calling it a night.

As everyone decided to stay there for the weekend, the next morning all three families along with Hardik and Ananya decided to tour around starting from Zoological park, waterfalls and finally take blessings from Jagannath Temple. They are going in a roofless luxury van when Sonu bhai showed a tweet to Mahi bhai which he suddenly came across.

The tweet states

"In the last few days, there were many speculations regarding Mahi and his future in cricket taking into consideration the recent posts which he made against the Indian Cricket Team. Though most of you stood with him, I want to clear all the doubts in your minds. It is I who forced him to do so taking his wife as a captive. I know it's my mistake and I don't want to give any excuses for my behavior. I was waiting for these thirty days to see any announcement from the Dhoni's against me but none came and I couldn't find any other way to get away from the guilt. Sorry Mahi and Sorry Sakshi...with this one incident you proved that I still mean something to you. Thank you for everything and if possible please forgive me"

"This is the tweet from Sreesanth, Mahi", said Sonu bhai understanding everything now.

Taking the mobile from Sonu bhai, Mahi commented "I was never angry with you Sree but was surely upset with myself for not understanding you better and for not stopping you to take that step and that was a turning point in my life too when I took it as a lesson and started focussing more on the team and the youngsters so that no one crosses that lines which would destroy their career. Remember one thing, you were, you are and you will always be in the list of my well-wishers. I would have been happier if you would have called me instead of this tweet. Though it is from Sonu's account, it's Mahi who is typing this."

After having a wonderful day, they all left home in the evening being tired. After freshening up, Rohit called Virat making Ziva sit along with him. As soon as he answered the call,

"Ziva, do tell your Virat chachu that I have already taken you to all those places which he promised to take you after his comeback. Say him that you love me more", said Rohit handing the mobile to Ziva.

"Ha Virat chachu, we had so much fun today...I love Rohit chachu more", she said kissing Rohit's cheeks before running from there to Sam and Gracia for which Virat laughs "You will never grow up Ro".

"Come on Ro, now you have Sam to take care of. Concentrate on her than Ziva", said Sakshi bhabhi who is always amused about their silly fights surrounding her daughter. 

"Come on bhabhi, no matter what Ziva will always be the apple of our eyes, Zoraver, my partner in crime and Gracia the gangster...everyone has their own place in my heart. And regarding the fight with Virat, that is never-ending...I will fight with him for Mahi bhai, for Ziva and even for his kid too in the near future", said Rohit and the others smiled shaking their heads as nothing can be done with this duo. Though all of them saw Sree's tweet no one spoke anything regarding it because what happens in a team stays in that team is what they all believe.

"Acha Virat bhayya, please take the phone to Yuzi's table slowly...I sense something is fishy", said Ananya suddenly observing carefully. 

In Yuzi's table, where Kuldeep and he are having breakfast,

"Kul you are becoming weak nowadays, have my spinach, broccoli, and this salad...it's good for your health", said Yuzi transferring all the healthy food to Kul's plate not minding his protests.

"Yuzi", hearing her voice, Yuzi leaves his spoon in the plate "Now when did this demon come to Newzealand", said Yuzi making faces for which Kul was gesturing to be silent.

As Virat comes infront, they both could see Ananya and Ro through the phone.

"Hey Anu, we are missing you a lot", said Yuzi with a sugar-coated voice.

"Ya I can see that how nicely you are having your breakfast", said Ananya with sarcasm evident in her voice.

"There is a reason that all these are included in your diet right?", said Ananya and before she could continue Hardik interrupted "Do you want to become like Virat?"

Immediately Yuzi shook his head in no and now Virat took over asking "Why me?"

"Because you are the captain", shouted all the four (Yuzi, Kul, Ro and Hardik)

"Not fair guys", shouted Ananya with a pout.

"Wait, what is all this...why did Virat come in between?", asked Mahi Bhai not understanding anything.

"Bhai, whenever Anu stays with us during the tournament, this is her common dialogue which she uses on everyone in the team when I don't wake up when I don't drink something when someone refuses to eat or go to the gym. Say any occasion, she would say the same and whenever she says this, we say no just to irritate Virat", saying which Rohit laughed followed by Hardik.

"Anu tell them why do you say that", said Virat.

"Because I love Virat more", I said showing tongue to Ro bhayya.

"You guys are mad", saying which Mahi bhai went inside the house while we too called it a day after talking for some time.
