It has been a few days since I last met Shubman, we had stayed connected through texts and calls but mostly texting.

He was in South Africa, for a T20 series, so we didn't have much time to talk. Even though the time difference wasn't much but it also was a reason which made it difficult for us to communicate.

I am right now at the studio to record an episode for the podcast. Vidya was already here, ready, sitting on her side of the sofa.

As soon as I entered the studio, I made eye contact with Rahul.

"Hello ji" said Rahul
"Namaste Rahul ji, kaise hai ap?"
"Tum aa gai, ab sab changa hai ji"

We started laughing at his cheesy reply.

I checked my hair and makeup and went to go sit on my side of the sofa.

"Hello lovelies, how is everyone doing" I started with the intro.

"So, these past week has been so busy, so many rumours, right Meera?" Vidya said looking at me innocently.

"Sure dude" I said sarcastically.

As soon as the recording ended,I went home, Vidya went with her 'boyfriend'.

As soon as I reached my home, I got a call from Shubman.

"Hellooo" I said as soon as I picked up the call.

"Hey Meeru, how are you? how's your day been?"

"I am doing fantastic what about you, and also we just recorded an episode, I had so much fun but I lowkey missed you, aur tumhara din kaisa tha"

"Mein buhut thak Gaya ho pure din ke practice se, Aaj subah Hui thi practice so right now I am free, I'll go and irritate Ishan"

"Hahahha, please irritate him from my side too." Since I had put my phone on speaker because I was cooking some delicious pasta, I saw a notification pop on my screen, it was from Rahul, I previewed the message and read it aloud for Shubman to hear.

"Shub, Rahul just texted me"

I heard him humm indicating me to continue.

"Hey, Meera, I have been thinking about this but I don't want to ruin our friendship, do you want to maybe go out on a date with me, it's okay if you don't"

I took a deep breath.

"Shub, what should I say?"

"No" he answered back

"Why?"

"I just don't like him"

"Why don't you like him?"

"Meera, I can't tell you, I might be wrong"

"Tell na"

"He just looks at you weirdly"

"Sach mein, but I really want to go"

"Then go, chal bye, I have to go"

"Bye"

The call cut.

I took my phone and texted him.

"Sure I'll come"

"Okay, so I'll come pick you up tomorrow 8pm, wear something fancy, like the red-black dress you have"

"Ahhh, cool"
"I'll be ready"
