______________________________________

It was a nice day. In an alley of Mumbai, some children were playing cricket. They were doing practice before the real match.

Suddenly a little boy came there and said, "Sorry late ho gaya. Sid, chal match suru karte hai."

Sidharth aka Sid, who was the captain of the team looked here and there and asked, "Raj tu akele aa gaya? Sana kidhar hai?"

"Yaar Mummy se bohut request karne ke baad bhi unhone Sana ko humare saath cricket khelne ki permission nahi diyi. Filhaal woh jabardasti usko mandir le ke gayi hai." Replied Rajveer aka Raj.

"Aise kaise le ke gayi? Uske bina humari team puri nahi hogi."

"Koi replacement dhund lete hai. Woh Shekhar kab se ready hai humare saath khelne ke liye. Bula ke laau usse?"

Sid thought for a while and said, "Nahi yaar. Uske bina mann nahi lagega. Accha woh kaunse mandir mein gaye hai?"

"Paas wale Matarani ke mandir mein sayad."

"Tum sab yaheen ruko. Main usse le ke aata hoon. Uske baad hi match start hoga."

Saying that Sid left from there.

Meanwhile...

A woman came to the temple with her little daughter.

"Pandit Ji. Meri bacchi ke naam pe Puja karani hai. Dekhiye naa, ladkiyon wale ek bhi lakshan nahi hai iss mein. Iss ki umar ki saari ladkiyon ko gudiyon ka shaukh hai. Aur isse moholle ke ladko ke saath cricket khelne ka. Padhai se toh dur dur tak iska koi vaasta nahi hai. Upar se kuch bolti hoon toh ulta suna deti hai. Kuch ki jiye na jis se yeh thodi sudhar jaaye." Said Parminder Ji making a worried face while her daughter Shehnaaz, aka Sana, yawned as she was tired hearing her mother's same dialogue.

The priest smiled and said, "Bacchi hai na abhi. Badi hote hote apne aap sudhar jayegi. Waise Bacchi ka naam kya hai?"

"Shehnaaz Gill."

"Thik hai main Puja suru karta hoon."

The priest started worshipping the goddess.

"Mummy cricket khelne jaana hai." Said Sana in a low voice.

"Chup reh aur Puja mein dhyan de." Said Parminder Ji and started praying folding her hands and closing her eyes.

Sana made a face and started praying like her mother.

"Matarani, meri prarthana sun lo. Isse saare bure sangat se dur rakho. Khas kar ke uss Sidharth se. Waise ladka toh accha hai. Lekin woh hi meri beti ko bigad raha hai. Ek baar meri beti sudhar gayi toh aap ko dher saara prasad chadhaungi." Said Parminder Ji in her mind.

Suddenly Sid came inside and hid behind a pillar.

"Ssshhh! Ssshhh!" He tried to call Sana by making hiss sounds but she couldn't hear.

Then he took out a marbel from his pocket and threw it at Sana. It touched her frock and she opened her eyes and looked behind. Sid waved his hand and Sana smiled immediately.

She was going to say something but he indicated her to stay quiet. He came and stood beside her.

"Match khatam hogaya?" Asked Sana whispering.

"Gadhi tere bina match suru ho sakta hai kya? Tujhe le jaane yaaha aaya hoon main." He whispered.

"Mummy nahi jaane dengi."
