Shubman glanced up and down continuously towards Virat and Ishan as he was confused as hell about his attire for their roka ceremony. Though it was a very intimate function yet he wanted to look his best so that Sara couldn't overpower him with her killing looks, though she was already doing it, nai?

"Oh kaake tu ja jake Anu se baat kr yrr humse na hoga ye outfit selection."

"Haww Bhai apko toh icon of fashion kehte hai na, aur aap itna bhi nahi kr sakte apne Shubi ke liye?"

"Chup kr saale, kab se tera natak dekh raha hu. Kabhi ye pink wala diya toh nahi bhai bohot girly hai. Red diya toh nahi yrr bohot harsh lagega. Orange diya toh yeh bhi koi colour hota hai? Saale itna toh Sara ne bhi time nahi lagaya hoga apna outfit select krne mai."

"Tu toh baat hi mat kr Ishan, Bhai aap isko samjhao iski choice traditional mai sachme buri hai."

Before they could continue their banter over some silly topic Virat squeezed in them stopping them from being at each other's necks. Though Shubman and Ishan were one hell of best friends who would not think twice to kill someone for each other they were always at each other's necks.

Just then his phone rang and he checked it, his eyes twinkled as Sara💞 flashed infront of him. He quickly took the call and moved a little away from his friends.

"Hello Sara."

"Hi Shub, how are you?"

"I am great, abhi shift ended kya?"

"Yes and I am so tired, I just want to go home and sleep until the next day's sunrise. It was so hectic, yesterday the whole night patients kept coming in. No time to even pee, I don't know kaise ek hi din sab ko kuch ho jata hai."

He chuckled, this was her daily routine. She would call him after her shift and rant about it and he would hear her patiently.

"It's okay, and try to relax yourself. I know the driver is coming so you are standing below that tree but just go in and sit on the bench. Why are you even straining your legs, hmm?"

"How do you know?"

"I just know, just go in and sit."

"Shubman ho gaya kya?"

"Are you with someone?"

"Yes, I was out with Virat Bhai and Ishan for the roka ceremony outfit but it seems like I cannot get one, a lot of conflicts."

"Haha, if you don't mind tomorrow we can go together for the shopping. Even I have to shop for my outfits and I will help you select yours."

"That sounds great, I am all up for it."

"Hmm."

"Sleepy?"

"Very."

"So then sleep, I will call you before dinner time. Is it okay?"

"Very okay."

"Take rest and don't exert yourself,okay?"

"I won't. Bye."

"Bye."

He whispered softly and she cut the call unable to control her heartbeat which was rising due to the intensity in his voice and the amount of love he was showing her.

While Shubman sighed, his heart already missing her pretty little face since the last he saw her was 3 days ago when they went on a coffee date."

If Shubman was making efforts for their relationship to grow, Sara was no less. Even though she would be so busy and tired after her continuos shifts she would still find time to call him at lunch or dinner time and share her day with him and vice versa.

Even though due to her hectic schedule it was not possible for them to meet often but she tried video calling him everyday once, he was glad they were sailing together on this boat ride of their journey together.

"Ho gaya aapka gulu gulu?"

"We were not doing gulu gulu, we were just sharing our days with each other."

"Woh to aap raat ko bhi kar sakte the na Mr Gill."

"Woh kya hai na Mr Ishan, my wife is a doctor aur uski abhi abhi shift khatam hui hai and she has not slept the whole night toh ab mai usko sone dunga unlike you who doesn't let his girlfriend sleep even for a minute, always ready to pounce on her."

Ishan's cheeks flushed as Shubman talked about their sex life which Ishan himself used to tell them. Virat chuckled.

"Kaka I am glad tu Sara ke baare mai abhi se sochta hai."

"Thank you Bhai."

"Accha ab kya krna hai tere outfits ka?"

Shubman scratched the back of his neck smiling sheepishly.

"Woh Bhai mai aur Sara kal shopping ja rahe hai so she said she would help me choose my outfits."

"Hey bhagwaan mera din kharab kr gaya ye ladka isse accha toh mai apne room mai apni bandi ke saath.."

Virat closed Ishan's mouth before he could speak something nonsense and Shubman hit his head.

"Kabhi to muh pe filter lagaya kr Ishan."

"Chodo tum dono, ab hum ghar chalte hai."

Virat said and Shubman and Ishan nodded.

"Bhai mai aapke saath aau? Mujhe Vamika se milna hai usko batana hai ki uski chichi aane wali hai."

Virat chuckled and nodded.

"Ishan tu aane wala hai?"

"Nahi bhai aaj ghar pe bohot kaam hai mummy maar dalega ab nahi gaya to."

"Thik hai then let's go."

They parted ways and soon Virat and Shubman were at Virat's house, Vamika settled herself on Shubman's lap and was drinking her milk when Shubman caressed her hair from the back.

"Vami chachu wants to say something to you."

"What chachuu?"

"You know that day you said one day my lucky charm will come in my life."

"Aap chichi laaye ho?"

She asked excitedly getting up and standing on his lap while he chuckled and held her stopping her from falling.

"Abhi nahi par thode din mai chichi Shub chachu ke ghar aa jayegi."

"When will I meet her?"

"You want to meet her?"

Shubman asked amused and Vamika nodded her head.

"Ofcoushe mujhe unhe check krna hai ki woh aapse mumma jitna pyaar krti hai ya nahi jitna mumma papa ko krti hai."

Shubman smiled and hugged Vamika close to his heart, she was so small yet so mature.

"Bhabhi."

Shubman called and Anushka peeked from their room door.

"Yes Shub."

"Can I take Vamika out with me tomorrow to meet Sara."

"Ok, par no masti and no eating junk."

"Sure bhabhi."

Vamika hified with Shubman and he smiled. Soon the day passed by and currently Shubman was waiting for Sara outside her house while Vamika was sitting on top of the car with her chocolate which she got from Shubman after blackmailing him emotionally.

Shubman's eyes wandered to the door of Sara's house and there she was dressed in a beautiful baby pink coloured kurti with her hair free. She had long hair which he loved a lot, oxidised jwellery which was enhancing her ears more.

She was soon standing infront of him.

"Hii, hi Vamika."

"Hello chichi, you are so beautiful."

"Aww thank you baby. Shubman."

She clicked her fingers infront of him and he snapped out of his thoughts.

"Ohh hi, you..you look beautiful."

"Thank you."

She whispered, her cheeks getting flushed.

"Umm Vamika wanted to meet you, so I brought her with me. It is okay right?"

"Ofcourse, it would be my pleasure to spend the day with this cutie."

She said and picking her up brought her down. Shubman smiled and opened the door for her, she sat with Vamika in her lap.

"So where should we go first?"

"To the mall, pehle your shopping then we will go for mine."

Shubman nodded and started his car while soon hitting the roads. The car ride was silent for both of them except Vamika was the only one talking and asking a hell lot of questions to Sara who answered everything with patience.

Soon they were at the mall and Shubman's bodyguards surrounded them and Sara rolled her eyes making Shubman chuckled at her. He took Vamika from her arms and they started walking.

As they entered the men's section Sara and Vamika started looking for outfits and made him do a fashion show infront of them. Finally after 30 minutes they could select his outfit.

"Ohh my god this is so tiring."

"Why didn't you hire any fashion designer?"

"Aree the roka was just in a span of 3 days and no fashion designer will be ready for it but don't worry I have it all planned for the next cascade of functions."

Sara smiled and nodded her head.

"Let's get you your outfit now."

Soon it was same with Sara, they made her try different different clothes and finally after an hour her outfit was selected.

"Chichi you looked so good in that lehenga."

"Thank you baby, do you want one such?"

And she began searching one for Vamika as well while Shubman adored her. They selected one for Vamika as well and she gleed in happiness.

When it was time to pay Shubman was about to buy Sara stopped him.

"You pay for yours and I will pay for mine and Vamika."

"Aey no this is not fair."

"Shubman I earn enough, please let me pay and moreover once we are married spend all your money on me I won't stop you infact I will myself go to shopping twice in a week and spend a lots but fir now let me pay."

"Ok fine, you are so good with words. That's why I can't even say anything to you but Vamika's I will buy."

"Ok no problem."

She agreed and he smiled. He picked up Vamika and their shopping bags and they came out of the shop.

"So where now?"

"Chachu I am hungry."

"Ohh yess Sara is it okay if we go to the food court?"

"I was gonna say the same thing, let's go."

Once they settled at the food court Shubman ordered a salad for himself since he couldn't risk risking his diet or else their dietician would kill him while he got some sandwiches and pizza for Sara and Vamika with fries and cold coffee.

One thing he explored about Sara was how much she loved cold coffee. Even if she is raging like a bull give her a proper cold coffee she will smile at you sweetly.

"Vamika don't tell mumma that you had pizza bhabhi will kill me."

"Haww chachu I don't lie to mumma."

"Accha mumma ki bacchi fir mai bolu kaise aapne mujhe blackmail krke chocolate liya mujhse?"

"No no chachu, I won't tell mumma."

She said laughing when he tickled her and Sara watched their bond with a smile. After everything they were sitting in the car and Vamika was sleeping on the back seat.

"You love her so much na?"

Shubman looked at her confused and she eyed at the back seat.

"Yes, she is my bestfriend. Or you can say lucky charm."

"I am so glad Vamika got you and you got her."

"Wait for a few days and I am sure you will be her favourite waise you already are."

Sara laughed and again looked at Vamika who looked so innocent with her mouth a little open.

"It was good spending time with you today."

"I felt good too, so ready for the roka?"

"I am."

"Should we disclose about us publicly?"

"I don't know. I mean I don't oppose for it but I just have a feeling it will disturb my life or you know I won't be so free to go to the hospital."

"True let's just keep it hidden until our marriage then we will see what we can do."

"Hmm."

"Sara."

"Hmm?"

"I.. I don't know how to say this but I really like you. Infact everyone in my family already loves you. I can't wait to get married and explore this new phase with you."

"Me too Shub, just a month more."

As her house approached Shubman stopped the car and looked at her who was already looking at him.

"Just one month."

He whispered and held her hand and kissed the back of her hand. Sara's heart shuddered at the touch of his lips and she blushed looking down. Though she was a very independent and bold woman but once she was under his gaze, her boldness just seemed to fly away.

He kept her hand down but still held it.

"Go home and take rest, I won't be able to meet you tomorrow cause we have a meeting related to the upcoming champions trophy so we will meet day after tomorrow for our roka."

"Hmm when are the dates for the tournament?"

"25th of February."

He whispered and she looked at him, just 9 days after their marriage but this is what they signed up for.

"Okay now go and don't stress so much, kal last day hospital ka uske baad to you will be on leave hai na?"

"Yes, a total two months of leave. Shall I go now?"

"Hmm."

"My hand."

He quickly released her hand and she smiled before getting out of the car and opening the back door and dropping a kiss on Vamika's head. Shubman smiled and she waved a bye at him.
