New Year's Eve

Adhira sat alone in her room, scrolling through pictures on her phone. The laughter and merriment outside her door reminded her that the clock was ticking towards midnight, and soon it would be New Year's Eve. The Mumbai girl couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Despite being surrounded by her cricket family in South Africa, she missed the warmth of her family back home.

As she sighed, her phone buzzed with a message from Shubman Gill, the dashing young batsman she had grown close to during their time together with the Indian cricket team. The message simply read, "Adhira, where are you hiding? The party's about to start, and we can't let the New Year begin without you."

Adhira smirked at the message and replied, "Just needed a moment alone. On my way, Gill."She quickly freshened up and joined the festivities. The cricket team had transformed their temporary residence into a lively celebration hub. Laughter echoed through the halls as they played games, shared stories, and danced to the beats of Bollywood.

Adhira found herself drawn to the terrace, where Shubman was engrossed in a conversation with Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan. She couldn't help but admire the way the city lights glittered in the night sky, a fitting backdrop for the impending New Year.

As she approached the trio, Virat grinned, "Adhira! There you are! We were just discussing our plans for the upcoming year. Come join us!"

Ishan, ever the playful one, chimed in, "Adhira, tu yahaan chhup ke kyun baiti hai? (Why are you sitting here hiding?) The real party is happening right here!"

Adhira chuckled, "Well, I needed a moment to soak it all in. New Year away from home feels a bit strange, you know?"

Shubman, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, draped an arm around her shoulders. "Well, lucky for you, you've got a new family right here. And guess what? We take New Year's Eve very seriously!"

The night unfolded with laughter, cheers, and friendly banter. Adhira found herself in the midst of it all, her initial melancholy fading away. As the clock neared midnight, Shubman whispered in her ear, "Adhira, let's make this New Year unforgettable."

They joined the countdown, and as the clock struck twelve, the cheers erupted. Amidst the joyous chaos, Shubman took Adhira by the hand and led her to a quiet corner of the terrace.

With a teasing smile, he said, "Adhira, I think it's time for a New Year's kiss, don't you?"

She feigned surprise, "Oh, really? And what if I'm not in the mood for a kiss?"

Shubman leaned in, his gaze unwavering, "I have a feeling you're in the mood for a lot more than just a kiss."

Their lips met in a sweet and playful kiss, sealing the beginning of a new chapter. As they pulled away, Adhira grinned, "Happy New Year, Shubman."

He winked, "Happy New Year, Adhira. Here's to many more celebrations with our cricket family."And so, in the heart of South Africa, under the starlit sky, Adhira Ads for short and Shubman Gill welcomed the new year with a kiss, surrounded by the love and camaraderie of their cricketing companions.
