It was Ms's initial days. His debut matches hadn't been any good and today while he practices he isn't sure if he will be in the team for the next match.
He stood at a corner practicing silently wen he saw Yuvi and Bhajji going behind John. But as Dada blocked their ways and just looked at dem, they handed him the crackers ka packet.
Ms smiles ruefully...he cat help but miss his friends, his house, his family.
He sees Dada hitting Sachin Paaji with a bat as he was trying to balance himself on a wicket.
Mahi(in thoughts): Will I ever be a part of this family?? Will I ever be close to them?? Can I be good enough for dem??
And his trance brks as Dada frowns at him and Ms just nods his head in a no realizing he has been starig at Dada for too long.
That night after a silent dinner, Mahi went off to the terrace......sitting on d parapet.....wondering wat is happening....how can he correct it, will it evr happen, will he evr mk his dream come true
As he takes a deep breath he realizes a confused, concerned man standing beside him. He hurriedly got down of the parapet
Ms: Sorry sir, Main sone wala tha...I thought there's still some time left for the curfew
It was his captain...goddd.....is he in trouble, has he done something wrong, y has the captain come to meet me.....Tho dada always smiles warmly he cant help but feel intimidated by dadaaaa
And as Ms braces himself to hear a scolding Dada just goes and sits on the parapet as Ms stood dumbfounded.....
Dada: Naah...Nahi dikh raha hai!!!
Ms: Jee???
Dada: Wahin jo tum itne dhyaan se last 30 mins se dekh rahe the...
And Ms didn't kno wat to say to it.
Dada: Mahi?? U admire Gilly a lot, don't u??
And Ms just nodded his head
Dada: U also think dat Sachin is a gr8 player, r8??
Ms: He's one of the greats of the game sir
And Dada gave a disapproved look and Ms knew why
Dada: Do u kno how much Sach or Gilly scored in their 1st match???
MS: Half-century toh maraa hi hoga...all embarrassed, thinking dada will taunt him dat he isn't even one percent of his idol
And Dada just chuckled: Sach and Gilly hit a 15 and a 20 on their debuts
And ms was shocked would be an understatement
However Ms composed himself and said, 'Atleast they had double-digits'
And Dada couldn't help but sigh...this kid is hell bent on thinking low about himself, he's so quiet, is not at all mischievious, calls everyone sir and Dada didn't kno how to deal with such a disciplined kid.
Dada, however, composes himself and says, 'Mahiii...nevr think low about urself...bass 3 matches he toh huye hai....u have so many more to playyy...u will definitely do it'
Ms: Aur agar nahi hua, toh??? Agar main phirse out hogaya toh??
And dada was stunned by the vulnerability in his eyes......he had to do something, but wat
Dada: Ms..pataa hai.....I kno of some1 who had scored just 3 runs in his debut and scored 105 in his next match wen he came back....
Ms....Haan???? disbelieving Dada
