You are 18 years old, a rising cricket prodigy, and the first-ever female player to join the Indian men's cricket team. You weren’t just breaking barriers—you were rewriting history. This year had been a mix of highs and lows, but you had already shattered records, even surpassing the legendary Virat Kohli. The world was watching as you played alongside Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Shubman Gill—some of the biggest names in Indian cricket. They weren’t just your teammates; they were your mentors, your brothers, your second family.

But today wasn’t just any game. It was India vs. Pakistan.

The ultimate battle. The rivalry that had shaped cricket history for generations. The stadium was packed, the tricolor flags were waving, and the pressure was suffocating. The world was watching, billions of hearts beating for one outcome—victory.

But amid the electric atmosphere, you had a secret. A secret that, if revealed, could ruin everything.

You had a crush on Naseem Shah.

The 20-year-old Pakistani fast bowler has an undeniable charm, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t ignore the way he makes your heart race. But this is forbidden—not just because he’s the enemy on the field, but because of the deep-rooted India-Pakistan rivalry and the Hindu-Muslim divide. If Virat, Rohit, Hardik, Bumrah, or Shubman ever found out ? You’d be destroyed. They would never accept it. Never forgive you.

Now, as you stand on the pitch, facing Pakistan under the floodlights, the entire world watching, you have to focus. The match is war, your team is your family, and he is the opponent. But as Naseem walks past, giving you a fleeting glance.
