Ever heard of the Imperfectly Perfect Love story?

Well here's our girl sleeping peacefully when her phone rings and she wakes up cursing

"Damn"

Rima

I don't remember falling asleep all I remember is yesterday India won the match. I was the happiest. But Today my peaceful sleep broke at nine,I heard my phone ringing, it was from a private no.

"hello" i said

"Virat"

"as in virat kohli" I asked in a saracastic tone.

"yes,the one who got the man of the match award'

"proof? I blurted out"

"I liked your magazine"

I suddenly found myself standing on the bed overjoyed.

*flashback*

I had completed writing a magazine feature  on Virat Kohli, and after much difficulty two weeks earlier I had sent it with a letter inside that said "If this book has any problems feel free to call to call me. And I had my number written on that.

*flashback ends*

"hello" I heard his voice

"yes sir,thank you sir and by the way congrats"

"yeah thanks, he said"

I could make out he was upset

"sir, are you upset?".

Virat

"are you upset"

"oh nothing just the pressure of the matches"

'sir"she said"i may be a girl but I am a cricket addict and you scored a century yesterday, got the man of the match and india won 4-1.that's definetly not match pressure, got to be something else"

"what the.... I said there is nothing troubling me ,and if there is who the hell are you to ask me,I liked your magazine thats it" I said in an irritated tone expecting her hang up or shout at me,after all she wrote such a beautiful book on me,but I was astonished when she sweetly said

"sir,I am sorry if I caused you any trouble,i thought If you share your troubles then you might feel better, i am again sorry"

"No actually..."she cut me off saying

"If you have any trouble then open the outer book cover and thanks for waking me on time"

she hung up

I first didnt understand what she said but took out the outer cover the I found a lavender coloured paper with something written on it. this girl was sure a mystery. the paper read
