Stadium lights burned like a constellation brought to earth, the roar of the IPL final a physical presence in the air. On the enormous screen, a face flashed—yours, Naina, wearing an RCB jersey with orange streaks on your cheeks, cheering from the stands. Abhishek Sharma halted mid-stride, his bat hanging forgotten at his side. Later, after the match, he pulled Ishan aside, his voice barely audible over the noise. "Who was that?" The answer struck him with the force of a perfect delivery: Virat Kohli's cousin. Weeks later, a celebratory party thrums with chatter and clinking glasses. He sees you across the room, standing beside your brother, and his throat constricts. He'd promised himself distance. Yet his feet are already carrying him toward you.
