"Good afternoon India, this is Ria Sharma and today we have a very handsome guest on our show, guess who? Ofcourse India's most wanted Munda, one and only Shubman Gill. Welcome Shubman."

"Thank you Ria."

"I hope Sara you don't mind me using so many adjectives for your husband."

Sara giggled and shook her head in no making Shubman smile while Ria winked at her.

"So aapko pata hai hume kitne papad belne pade aapko yaha laane ke liye."

Ria complained narrowing her eyes and Shubman laughed.

"I am so sorry for that, but what can I even do. Sara time cricket mai nikal jata hai aur bacha kucha to atleast biwi ko dena padega na warna chod degi mujhe."

The whole crew with Sara laughed and she shook her head in no.

"Aww that's some way of showing your love. Ok back to the topic, Shubman how would you explain your journey?"

"Journey..my journey was nothing short of surprises and hardwork. My father used to bowl me 500 balls a day and that would still not be enough. I played, played and played and then it was all worth it. Ranji happened, under 19 happened and then the iconic Gabba happened. That one match was life changing for me. I learned a lot through it. And yes here we are today."

"We are so proud of you Shubman, you are such a talented cricketer and it makes us immensely happy when you make India win matches."

"I am glad, not everyone gets the opportunity to represent your country and when I have got one I try to make most of it."

"Who is your best friend from the team?"

"See I am friends with everyone but as you all know Ishan Kishan, the OG is my best friend."

He winked and Ria laughed.

"Yeah we are never short of your bromance. Does Sara feel jealous of you two?"

"That you have to ask her. Do you baby?"

"Ofcourse he spends more time Ishan than me. Though no grudges against Ish, I love him. He is my naughty younger brother."

"Glad you share such a good relation with your sautan."

"Me too."

"Okay back to Shubman. Shubman who do you think is your mentor in the team?"

"Everyone. I take advice from each n every person present in the team and trust me they are too precious to be leaked."

"Don't worry not asking you your secrets though I wish we could be a part of Indian team."

He laughed and showed them thumbs up.

"Shubman, how did you meet Sara? Was it arranged or love?"

"What do you think?"

"As far as we have seen all your outings and social media pictures we strongly think it's love."

Ria was shocked when he chuckled and shook his head in no.

"There's no way you guys had an arranged marriage."

"In all ways we had an arranged marriage. There we go guys finally the mystery is solved."

Shubman smiled at the camera and Ria sat there still in shock.

"It's a little hard to believe that, we never thought it was arranged."

"It was, a typical ladki dekhne jana and our likes alikes match krna, we did everything. It was our 'Arranged Love'.

"Aww guys you are too sweet."

"When did you fall in love?"

"The moment I saw her walking as my bride."

He gave a beautiful smile to Sara and she smiled looking down, this was a first. She never knew he had fallen for her so early and he never even told her. That's what the beauty of their love was, isn't it?

"This feels like a movie to be honest."

"It is, life with Sara is no less than a romantic Dharma productions movie. And I am glad I got to experience it with her."

"You two are goals, coming to the topic we have some rapid fire questions for you. Ready?"

He sipped his coffee and nodded.

"Mumbai or Punjab?"

"Punjab."

"Pull shot or cover drive?"

"Ohh, short arm jab."

"Beaches or mountains?"

"Beaches."

"Romantic movies or action movies?"

"Action."

"Spiderman or batman?"

"Without a doubt spiderman."

"Italy or London."

"Hmm Italy."

"Virat or Ishan?"

"None."

He laughed winking at the camera and the audience got the clue,😉.

"Vadapav or chole bhature?"

"Ohh, chole bhature."

"Wankhede or Ahmedabad?"

"Ahmedabad."

"GT or KKR?"

"GT."

"Lastly, Sara or cricket?"

"Sara, with baited breaths."

Ria smiled at Shubman, his love for her was soo deep.

"Cricket is my passion, but Sara is my devotion. Even if a situation comes where I have to choose between life and death I would choose Sara there."

He ended with a smile and Sara was almost in tears right now. He gave her an assuring nod and she smiled, her mind wandered back to their ugly fight and she felt like a stupid for blaming him. Even though it was over, it's scars would remain forever.

"That's some goals Shubman, we are glad you got your love in Sara. Hope you have a very happy and bright future both with Sara and the ICT. That's all guys, thank you Shubman for taking some time out of your busy schedule and having a chat with us."

"Thank you to you too, loved chatting with you."

He shook hands with Ria and the camera said cut. It was a very good interview and the crew was sure it would give them lots n lots of viewership.

But currently Ria was rigged looking at Shubman's love towards Sara. She saw how immediately he went to her as soon as the camera was off air and wiped her tears pulling her in a hug. She hoped she could find such love, one day in future.

As Shubman wrapped up his entire day, heavy with workload and finally sat in the car, he immediately laid down keeping his head in her lap and she smiled.

Bending down she kissed his head and ruffled his hair while he turned more and snuggled his face in her stomach. She was his peace, and he knew that.

As soon as they closed the door of their house Shubman was pinned to the door and he could see Sara's face near his.

"Woahh my tigress, I didn't know you were so desperate."

He smirked but it faltered as he saw tears glistening in her eyes. His eyes were flooded with concern immediately and he cupped her cheeks.

"Hey baby, what happened? Why these tears?"

"Why do you love me so much?"

Her hoarse voice cracked through the silence followed by her sniff and he smiled.

"Because I love you. You are my everything Sara, you are my religion. All I want to do is worship you the way you deserve. All I want is to shower you with all the amount of love present in the world. But I am afraid that's not possible because my love is infinite and there is no value of infinite baby."

"Shubman.."

She cried harder on his chest and he hugged her pulling her in his body as if hiding her.

"There's nothing to cry about my love. Look up, don't you want this love?"

He asked in a teasing tone and Sara looked in his eyes nodding in no.

"I feel like I don't love you enough Shub."

"You love me enough Sara, you love me with heart and that's what matters."

"No, I said so many things that day and yet you forgave me the next moment, why? How can you love me so much? I don't deserve this."

"Where this sudden insecurity baby? And no, you deserve more than this. You get that! I love you and I will keep loving you no matter what!"

She didn't say anything after this and rested her ear against his heart, her heart had started calming down as she heard the steady rhythm of his heart.

"I don't know who filled this bullshit in your head Sara but all I know is I love you. Okay?"

"I love you too."

He cupped her face and made her look up, as soon as her face was to his he captured her lips and she smiled in the kiss.

"I am sorry, I don't know what got into me suddenly."

"It's okay, I am always here to share your insecurities."

She moved away and gave him her bright smile which was enough to lighten up his day well now night.

"My dumb baby, come let's sleep now. I am seriously so tired."

"Who wants a Sara special massage?"

"Ofcourse me mam."

"Then go and get changed, I will be right back."

"Aye aye captain!"

He mock saluted her and kissed her cheeks before running away to get changed. While Sara chuckled and quickly heated the oil and took it upstairs to their room.

Let's say Shubman had a very good sleep that night!
