Aaruj’s POV
There is a rule in the game of cricket. It’s called Duckworth-Lewis.
It can turn the tables around.
When I held my first cricket bat few years ago, I felt invincible. But do I feel the same right now,not so much. Why ? Cause the girl I love the most has a brother who has never been so fond of me and now he hates me even more.
But he has a reason this time -a legit one.
See if I caught my sister getting all romantic with my arch enemy i would lose my cool too.

Nia’s POV
“I need that ‘6 months Free Ice cream voucher’, Aaruj”I told him with all seriousness I could muster.
“At any cost.”I squeezed his both shoulders for further emphasis. I hardly succeeded in pressing my fingers through his cricket jersey clad muscles though.
He is looking so handsome in his cricketer mode right now. The red and white coloured jersey brings out the colour of his eyes even more. And it’s not just the outer appearance, his zest and passion for the game makes him look like some kind of Zeus of cricket.
“How about making it a 12 months free Ice cream voucher?”He smirked and rubbed my nose with his.
Eskimo kissing,are we?
“Drool worthy offer Mister.”I said getting all flustered with his intense gaze on me.”I know you can but I want to win this on my own.”
He gave me an amused look in return.
“Okay. Not entirely on my own but you will just have to win this match and your contribution is done.”I explained in a sing song voice.
“No pressure at all.”Aaruj said sarcastically.
“I love you jersey number ten.”I weaved my hands around his neck.
“I love you too purple top.”He said looking at my clothes while trying to match up with my declaration.
“It’s Lilac.”I retorted smartly.
“Another colour in my vocabulary that I would never recognise.”He said shaking his head. Then he suddenly made a thinking face.
“Whatcha ya thinking?”I mimicked Isabella from Phineas and ferb before I could stop myself.
I need to stop binging on that show and get out in the world more often.
“Just so you know I am more of a team Doofenshmirtz.”He said making his point.
Aaruj and his undying love for cartoon villains.
“That’s what you were thinking?”I gave him a confused look.
“No silly. I was thinking I will win the match but what’s in it for me?”He asked wiggling eyebrows.
“You get to flaunt the trophy. You get to feature on our weekly college podcast-Royal sports. You get some more female specimen pining for you as if the current number is not that significant.”I listed down all the things I could think of.
“See it’s a win-win situation.”I smirked.
“It’s all material stuff. I want some love...some love is all I want.”He said bending closer towards my face.
