Sunday

The meeting with the medical team just got over. Sakshi was briefed about everyone's health and got the current squad's complete files to study over. 

She quickly made lunch and packed her bags for the trip. She had her lunch while watching a movie. after her lunch she sat down to study everyone's files and make her notes. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't realize how much time had passed by, she was brought out of her zone only when she got a phone call from her mom.

Sakshi's Mom: Hi baacha, all set for tomorrow?

Sakshi: Hi Mumma yes all set

Sakshi's Mom: Did you have dinner?

Sakshi: Vo kya hai na Ma, I got busy with work so time kaha gaya i didn't realize, par lunch ka thoda left over hai

Sakshi's Mom: Yeh ladki bhi na, Sakshi tu ek kaam kar pehle dinner kar phir directly so jana kal tujhe jaldi uthna hai. 

Sakshi: Yes ma I will. Papa ko mera hi bolna aur ha unko bolna ki unke fav cricketers ke sath ek selfie zaroor bhejungi 

Sakshi's Mom (laughing): Tu nahi sudhregi

Sakshi: Never Mom


Next Morning

Sakshi hears her alarm ring but snoozes it, after 15 minutes her alarm rings again but she snoozes it again. This continues for another 30 minutes, her alarm rings yet again and this time an irritated Sakshi wakes up and looks at her phone screen to turn it off, but instead wakes up with a jerk

Sakshi: Shoot Shoot Shoot, meko airport pohoch na hai ek ghante me aur mai abhi uthi hu. UGH, how can I wake up late on my first day?

She rushes to get ready and complete last-minute packing before. She quickly books a taxi to get to the airport but to her bad luck, her phone is dead. She quickly climbs down the stairs and hires a taxi from the taxi stand. As soon as she gets in she removes the power bank from her handbag and charges her phone. After a long 30 minutes, she reaches the airport but unfortunately, she got late

Sakshi speed walks into the airport and makes her way towards the lobby they all were to gather. She walks over to them to see everyone already there and waiting for someone, maybe her. 

Nikhil: Arey Sakshi tum aa gai chalo lets go were getting late well do introductions on the flight.

Sakshi: I'm so sorry sir, I got late, I will try my best ki aage se yeh na ho.

Nikhil: its ok Sakshi, just keep in mind next time.

Sakshi: yes sir.

As they are walking toward the check-in counter someone behind her nudges her slightly.

Mahi: So I guess destiny wanted us to cross paths again

Saying this Mahi continues walking while Sakshi's breath hitches as she realized who that someone is a what he was talking about. Sakshi looks up to see him smiling at her, she too reciprocates the smile and continues walking in. 

They sit down on their seats and the flight takes off, Nikhil gets up and gets everyone's attention.

Nikhil: So now that we're all settled down, let's do a quick introduction, in ICT style. Since your new Sakshi, you start by saying your name, your role in the team, and your favorite food. Ill go first

Nikhil: I'm Nikhil Tandon, head physio and my favorite food is rajma chawal
