"me too...just 5 days!...tell your papa that i hate him so much and i dont want to live with him, tell him to give divorce! I know how to get your custody' spoke roli out of pain while tears escaped from her eyes...

Rohan huffed as he was trapped between his parents. 

"where is maa?' 

"kitchen..' replied rohan. 

"hmm...rohan...' stammers her. 

"papa right?' smiled rohan as he understood his mother. 

"where is he?' asked her controlling her tears..

"hall' 

"can you please show papa to me?' pleased her as 21 days have passed since she looked at him....Sid is so adamant, he did not show her face to her as he said...

"OK mumma...'

"but honey careful, don't let him to know about this..' she gave him instruction...Rohan nodded his head then walked towards hall. 

Rohan reached the hall silently without making noise, he placed the mobile in the table...Roli saw siddhant who was working in his lap...She couldn't control her tears!..she covered her mouth and sobs heavily...

"papa...' 

"champ...when did you come dear?' asked him made rohan to sit in his lap..

"just now papa...what are you doing?..' asked him watching the laptop. . 

"leave that...talked with mumma?' 

"hmm...she said she hates you so Much..she don't want to live with you..and she asked di..div..' rohan thinks tapping his chin as he forgot the word. 

"divorce..'

"yeah...divorce' smiled rohan big without knowing the meaning. Sid widened his eyes while roli got a smile. 

"she asked divorce and she said she know how to get my custody' 

"how dare she?' Sid gritted his teeth...

"just 5 days only there, right?...will see that madam later' he muttered in anger...fake one!..

"Divorce means?' queried rohan holding sid's chin. 

"Hmmm...process for your sister' sid rolled his eyes in irritation as he was boiling in anger because of the word divorce!!!!........

Roli bites her lips to control her blush..

"stupid' thought her. 

"really?' asked rohan with a big smile. 

"yeah! yeah!' sid took his lips at one side. 

"Where is she now?'

"in Australia..inside your mumma's tummy' mumbled him audibly. Roli covered her eyes with her right palm thinking about her stupid husband....

"what she's doing there?' bemused rohan. 

"playing cricket' answered Sid. Roli gave a breath to control her laugh. 

"she too..'

"yeah!...now go play! I have a work' sid dropped rohan down..

"arrey tell about her more siddhant' asked rohan refusing to get down...

"yaarr..have an important work buddy'

"please darling..please' rohan pleased then sat in sid's lap again. Sid glared at him then smiled...

"fine....what do you want to hear?' asked Sid. And they both were started talking naughtily making Roli blush then and there....

MORNING:

Roli was standing in front of her team mates beside a white board....

"So, finally! we're going to face THE FINAL..' said roli with a smile. 

"yeah honey...' rhea clapped her hands with a smile. 

"OK guys...now come to the point!...Our final with world's number one women's cricket team...AUSTRALIA!..' 

"They have a ability to score above 190 which is very difficult for us to reach....I'm not telling we can't score the total but we are in their place and we're going to play in their land! more than us they knew everything about the ground, atmosphere, pitch and everything!...'

"can't we win the cup?' asked pooja with a sad face. 

"who said dear?...this T20 WORLD CUP is ours...I want that cup at any cost!' she spoke determinedly....

"I mean..we need that cup!..girls, hard work, good performance in the field...wasn't enough to beat the team..we need some strategy' roli smirked confusing them....

"strategy?' 

"yeah!...Vaishu?' roli called who was watching her talk with a pale face as roli didn't give a single match to play in the world cup innings. Vaishu went near roli...

"why roli?..why don't you believe me?...can't I take a single wicket for our nation..' vaishu started crying as she couldn't control herself whilst others were shocked seeing crying baby inside their entertainer...Roli smiled and hugged vaishu. She caressed her back..,

"my bahu...(she cupped vaishu's face who was weeping looking down) I believe you!..actually my whole believe is in you now...'

"really..?' queried vaishu like a baby making roli to remember rohan....

"haan baby...because of you, we're going to caress the trophy' confessed roli confusing everyone except anurag as he understood what was running inside roli's mind. 

"me..?'

"yes..' anurag said stood up in his feet then walked near vaishu. 

"Girls..at this time AUS's coach would have gather information about each of yours...your strength and weakness! for example,...in roli's case,

Her strength is multiple styles of spinning and weakness is lower pitch ball...Similarly, they would have collect each and every details of yours but,...Our vaishu haven't played yet..so,'

"there chances of getting to know her details are minimal..' girls said in chorus with a smile. 

"exactly!' roli wrapped her left hand around vaishu's shoulder. 

"I love you!' vaishu hugged roli and cries in her shoulder. 

"so madam is planning to trap me, then what my son will do! my poor son' roli tries to cheer vaishu up...

"don't worry...will marry you trio..'

"trio?' roli pulled her back. 

"you, rohan and my siddhant' vaishu laughed along with her girls. 

"sure...I'm gonna kill you' irked roli strangle vaishu's neck....

NIGHT:

Sid was working in laptop which was in his lap while rohan was sleeping leaning in his shoulder. His mobile beeped...He took his mobile and found roli voice message....

He connected his earphones....

"Just a day only there to play the final match...won't you even tell me all the best at least now?...' sid heard her weeping sound. His eyes welled up...

"you can see me in TV, mobile....but think about me, 21 days have passed since I saw you' she started whining crushing his heart....

"Go I won't talk to you, at least for a week! this is your punishment' 

And the voice note ended....Sid took a deep breath to clear the lump in his throat....

NEXT DAY: 

Girls were practicing hardly whilst roli was simply sitting in the bench holding ball in her hand...and she was thinking something deeply.

"kanika..can I ask you something?' asked roli turning on her side. 

"of course yaar....' smiled her. 

"woh..is it okay if I don't play tomorrow?' asked roli in hesitation. 

"what?..roli, we need you yaar!...we need you to reach our goal' Kanika pressed roli's hand....

"ok!' roli smiled. 

"what did you ask like this? are you not well?' 

"no yaar! I'm fine!...go, practice well' said the captain. Kanika shared her smile then walked towards the girls.....

She took her mobile and dialled sid's number to talk sid...

"switched off..' roli pissed up...as this is 7th time she's hearing this...

"what the hell he's doing without putting Mobile in charger?' annoyed her clutching her mobile.

Roli was having a glass full of milk surprising everyone. 

"Milk?...you?... that too a full glass?...impossible' said vaishu with a big eyes. 

"what to do yaar?...I have to take this now' roli pouted her lips. 

"why?' perplexed mithu chewing her dinner. 

"for...for.. get strength' she smiles sheepishly. Girls shrinks their forehead in dubious. 

"OK girls...listen, don't talk a single word in English in the ground' said roli sipping the milk. 

"why?'

"guys...Australian don't know our language! that's a big positive thing!..They can't predict what we gonna do next!..so, if you want to tell anything to the bowler just talk to them in our language..ok?'
