The Burning Chill

Prologue

Khushi's Pov

“……..He hits the ball and it flew over the boundary aaannnndddd a beautiful lady caught it….

For the first time in the history of IPL, BCCI announces that if in any match the first ball went over the boundary and if anybody can catch it, that person will get the chance to meet the batsman…

As announced, Virat Kohli is going to meet the lady and after some minutes he will be back in the match…

Anyone can easily guess seeing the excitement of the lady that she is a great fan of Virat.. Well now lets see what they are talking:”

Virat: Congrats…

Lady: Thank you..

Virat: What’s your name?

Lady: Khushi…

Virat: Well, congrats again Khushi….

And he extended his hand to shake, but everything started to blur….

“Wake up…..” “Wake up…” Is there earthquake? Uh huh… I think no… Then why I am shaking like crazy… “Wake up…” The familiar voice again screamed near my ear and shaking me… Oh yeah… That person was shaking me…. Thank God… No earthquake… I left relax… *poke* *poke*…. Ugh… The shaking had stopped and poking had started… I heard a small voice giggling… Again a poke… Holly Broccoli… Groaning I buried my face on my pillow…. Wait… What? A pillow? I was watching the match then Virat hit the ball and I caught it and about to shake my hand with him…  But that’s not the point… The point was how I ended up in a bed…. Intending to blow the cover from the suspense I opened my eyes only to immediately close it due to heavy sunlight attacking my eyes…

“Holly Broccoli….” I groaned….

“She is up…. She is up….” A small voice spoke up excitedly…. I scowled and opened my eyes….  

“Holly Broccoli….” I was in my room…. And I was DREAMING…… FREAKING DREAMING….. I sighed and sat up……

“Hoosh… Finally you are up….” The same familiar voice said…. Rubbing my eyes I looked up at the face and came face to face with my best friend cum cousin Prisha…

“What do you want?” I asked already bored…

“Oh My god… Di you forgot what is it today?” I jumped hearing the sudden scream and heard a round of giggle….. Rolling my eyes I looked at the face of the voice whose scream made me jumped and saw our another cousin Vanshika… Now I remembered hearing her giggling when Prisha was yelling and poking me….

That annoying brat…. I grabbed her and started to tickle her…. She started to laugh her heart out….Soon Prisha joined me and the three of us ended up with a tickle match…

After half an hour and so we all settled down on my bed still smiling…. “So what’s today?” I asked remembered remembering Vanshu’s previous talk…

“You really forgot… Isn’t it?” She asked…. What so important today yaar…. Okay… I admitted that I forgot… I heard her sigh… Could she get more dramatic? “Today is our graduation result… And had a Bangaluru match too…”  She finished… Her each word made my eyes wide and wider….  Oh My god… How could I forget that…….
