Ended up publishing another Shubsara fanfiction, a Sara's birthday special one, named Style, would love your views on it!

A woman in love, might as well turn out to be the prettiest sights one could've ever seen.

She could take more than required efforts for the person she loves, simply to see a smile on their face.

And Sara Tendulkar, was a woman in love.

Jugnu shook his head with a sigh.

A woman in love indeed.

She'd barely slept for an entire week, swamped with meetings, product launches, and family events.

Yet, here she was, on call, planning to surprise Shubman by flying to South Africa.

" I'm telling you it's not a good idea. You desperately need rest. You can always surprise him later Sara."

" But Jugnuuu, it's been so long. I miss him. And he does too. And he can't come here, but I can come there, can I not?"

" You can but—"

" See? I can! And I will. So just play along and let me come there please."

" You think he's going to be happy with you not taking care of your health and choosing to fly when you look like a panda?"

She gasped dramatically.
" How dare you? I DO NOT look like a panda! Stop talking like Arjun!"

" Stop trying to change the topic." Jugnu sighed tiredly.

" I'm not! I'm very much sticking to the topic! You called me a panda!"

" Did not! I said you look like one with those haunting dark circles under your eyes."

" Eh same thing and I DO NOT! I got skincare products to take care of that!"

" Sara please just listen to me. Don't do this."

" Why? Please KP, I do really want to see him."

Her pleading tone made him sigh yet again.

" Why are the two of you the way you are?"

She giggled.
" I take that as a yes then! Yay! South Africa, here I come!"

Jugnu shook his head, a smile on his lips, knowing what was about to come

♡•♡

" She's not seen my texts, neither is she reachable to receive my calls! To make matters worser, even Chaya isn't picking up and Lysh doesn't know a thing, Simran's with her fiancé, Nishita is in Mauritius, Arjun is in Goa, and it'd be awkward calling Sachin Sir! I don't know what to do!"

Jugnu watched Shubman pace back and forth in his room, as he bit back a smile.

" Busy hogi." Jugnu shrugged, trying his best to act nonchalant.

" Arey par kitni busy! Do din ho gaye yaar KP! I miss her. So so bad."

" Parso tu khud bohot thaka hua tha match ke baad, aur kal se woh busy thi shayad. Hota hai Shubi. Chill."

" Chill? I can't chill! She's clearly overworking herself! Does she not know know how bad that is for her health? She herself is a medical student! She should know it best! She's being reckless, she needs to take care of herself, why isn't—"

" Baap re....itna tension?" A soft voice cut through and he froze, his gaze flickering towards Jugnu who was already smiling wide.

" Tell me I'm not hallucinating." He murmured, and his heart raced at the laughter that followed.

Jugnu shook his head.

" Pinch me." Shubman murmured and as he was about to turn, he was a sharp pinch on his hand, causing him to screech.

" Jugnu what the fuck!"

" You told me to pinch you." He blinked back at him innocently, earning a glare and almost a smack in return.

Shubman turned around to see Sara stand by the door, cladded in hues of blues, looking absolutely gorgeous.

" Tell me you're here." He muttered, incredulity and delight in his tone earning a giggle.

" I'm here Shub." She said as he sighed, striding over to her.

He put his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

" Tell me you're real." He whispered, earning yet another giggle as she stood on her tiptoe, brushing her nose against his.

" Of-course I'm real!"

Behind them, Jugnu cleared his throat, having the way to his departure blocked and Shubman groaned.

" Kya hai tujhe?"

" Bahar nikalna hai! Tujhe kya laga mujhe yaha khade hoke romance dekhne mein koi dilchaspi hai? Na baba na! Mereko bahar nikalne do, phir chalu rakhna yeh sab."

Sara pulled away from Shubman and held a paper bag in front of Jugnu, causing the two men to knit their brows.

" Gift for you!"

" Me?"

" Not me?"

" Yes you and no not you! KP was a big help with the surprise, like he always is! So a small gift for him! Bada taufa neeche hai." She said giving him a teasing grin.

" Kamse kam koi toh hai, Jo mere baare mein sochta hai, unlike other ungrateful assholes." He said shooting Shubman a stink eye.

" Haan chal chal, hogaya tere baare mein sochke. Jaa ab. Katt le yaha se."

" Jaa raha hoon." He grumbled, walking out of the room and Shubman pulled her closer again.

" Where's my gift?" He whispered, brushing his lips against hers.

" Me. I'm your gift." She told him with a giggle and he smiled fondly.

" Tell me you're real. Tell me you're really here. Tell me I'm not dreaming."

" So you dream of me eh?"

" Oh you've no clue."

" What else do you dream of Mr.Gill?"

" I'd like to show you Miss Tendulkar."

" Uh huh? Go on."

Having her approval, he pulled her in for a toe-curling kiss, his hands on her cheek and waist, he kept pulling her in, as if letting her know how bad he missed her and her hands went upto his tousled hair.

Unfortunately for the two, they had to break apart when his phone rang.

Breathless and furious, Shubman cursed under his

Letterbox slave calling.....

" Hello?"

" How is the love of my life doing?" Abhay's voice echoed happily over the other line as Shubman let out an exasperated sigh.

" I don't know Abhay, you tell me, how is Tanvi doing?"

" I...No...what....no what do you...no I wasn't—what're you on about?" He broke into stutters.

" Can you just tell me why have you called and get through with it?"

" So rude. I didn't anyway intend on calling you, you bitch. I had called Bhabhi but she was unreachable."

Sara's eyes widened realising she'd not turned off her airplane mode.

" I'm so sorry, the thing is—"

" Hold up, YOU AND SHUBI ARE TOGETHER RIGHT NOW?"

Sara let out a sheepish laugh.

" How are you Abhay?"

" I'm fantastic Bhabhi! How are you?"

" That's great. I'm good too."

" Uh...Bhabi....I know I'm probably interrupting your time together and I'm sorry about that, but I desperately need a favour I can't ask from anyone else right now."

" There's absolutely no problem, go on, tell me."

Shubman looked at Sara incredulously, no problem?

Of-course there was a problem!

She was too too kind!

" If Shubi upsets you on your periods by any chance, what all would you like him sending you in order to calm you down?"

" Send her chocolates, plush toys, junk food, cute sticky notes, her favourite ice-cream, and a cute looking hot water bag." He told Abhay, realising he'd upset Tanvi.

" Waah, tune toh proper PHD kar rakhi hai isme. Anyway, I won't interrupt your time further. Enjoy yourselves! Thank you! Bye!"

" Bye." He said letting out a sigh of relief.

Sara chuckled as he slipped the phone into his pocket.

" I'm killing them one of these days." He muttered and she lightly smacked him on his chest.

" No you're not."

" No I'm not." Shubman nodded his head immediately in agreement and she chuckled again.

" Where's your luggage?"

" In the room next to yours."

" Why not mine?"

" Aren't you sharing a room with Ishan?"

As if appearing on cue, Ishan walked into the room, whistling.

" Arey Bhabhiji!"

" Boliye Ishan ji."

" Where's my gift? I heard KP got a gift! I helped too! Where's mine?"

" Arey aapka bhi gift laya hai."

" Kahan hai?" He asked, knitting his brows as he scanned the room.

" Yaha!" Aditi's voice echoed in the room and he turned around with the widest of grins etched on his face.

Before Shubman could ask him to go to the room next to theirs, Ishan had already taken her away.

" I can have you all for myself now." He mumbled in relief and she giggled.

" By the way..." he began and she hummed.

" Yeah?"

" You made me suffer for two whole days, you gotta pay for it?"

Pouting, she looked up at him and he resisted the urge to kiss her for a while.

" Can I not?"

" Nah uh, I'm not letting this slide. You ought to pay."

" So what do I pay?"

" Four days with me, twenty kisses, two dinner or lunch dates, one movie date, and a room-sharing for those four days."

" You're being quite demanding today Mr.Gill." She murmured, tracing his jawline with her fingers.

He shrugged.
" Can't help it Miss Tendulkar, my girlfriend spoils me before I can demand something, so this once, I'm demanding something, do you think she'll fulfill my wishes?"

" I don't know Mr.Gill, why don't you ask her?"

" Why don't you fulfill them on her behalf Miss Tendulkar?"

Sara gasped dramatically.
" Mr.Gill, you can't go flirting with other women when you're committed!"

" Oh she won't know, don't you worry." He teased, loving the way her eyes narrowed at him, pulling him in by his collar possesively.

" If you flirt with some other girl, the result will be awful."

He laughed, planting a chaste kiss on her temple.

" Don't worry darling, the Prince has eyes for the Princess alone, he doesn't even spare any other woman a mere glance."

" He better not. The Prince only belongs with the Princess. Do you get it?"

" Yes my love, yes. I'm all yours. Only yours. Yours to look at, yours to flirt with, yours to tease and yours to love. All yours."

Her pretty features relaxed as she smiled, pulling him in for a kiss which he gladly gave into, letting her know how bad he missed her and how awful it was being away from her.

" Mine." She murmured between the kiss and he chuckled fondly in agreement.
