The morning sun had barely begun to peek over the horizon when Kiara's eyes fluttered open, greeting the day with a quiet sense of anticipation. She descended the stairs, her steps light and curious, only to find the house already buzzing with activity. The sight of everyone gathered on the couch, a rare occurrence this early, prompted her to ask, "Everyone is awake today?"

Raman, with a playful roll of his eyes, replied, "This Shahneel Di woke me up at the crack of dawn and dragged me out for jogging." Shahneel's glare was sharp, but it only elicited chuckles from Kiara as she made her way to the kitchen, the heart of the home.

Shahneel followed suit, her voice carrying a hint of mischief as she inquired, "Kiki, is Shub still lost in dreams?" Kiara's nod was all the confirmation Shahneel needed as she tiptoed up to Shubman's room, where he lay in peaceful slumber.

With a conspiratorial grin, Shahneel filled a bucket with cold water, and Misha, Raman's sister, added two trays of ice to the chilly concoction. They approached the unsuspecting Shubman, and with a swift motion, Shahneel drenched him, eliciting a startled gasp and a bewildered cry of "TSUNAMI!!" from his lips. Shahneel's laughter echoed through the house as she made her escape, leaving Shubman to grumble and change into dry clothes.

Once downstairs, Shubman found Kiara lounging on the couch. Her offer of coffee was met with a grateful nod, and soon the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air.

As they sipped their drinks, Kiara broached the subject that had been on their minds, "Shub, I guess we can reveal our relationship to the outside world." Shahneel, overhearing the conversation, chimed in with her support, "Yes, Shub. It's a good idea."

With a nod of agreement from Shubman, Shahneel took charge, "Okay, now both of you get ready, I'll capture some beautiful moments." The couple obliged, and after some time, they reappeared, ready for their impromptu photoshoot. Shahneel, camera in hand, declared, "Come on. Shahneel Gill is behind the lens."

Their laughter and smiles were immortalized in the photos Shahneel took, which she promptly sent to both Shubman and Kiara. With a sense of shared excitement, Shubman posted two pictures on Instagram, officially announcing his relationship with Kiara.

Journeying through life, I found a rare gem. She's not just a part of my story, she is the story. Meet the queen of my heart @kiaraaliaadvani. Love you a lot Kiki❤️❤️

Shahneel encouraged Kiara to do the same, and soon her account too was adorned with images of the happy couple.

The day was winding down, and the golden hues of the evening sun cast a warm glow over the room as Shubman gathered his thoughts and belongings. The upcoming ODI match against New Zealand in Hyderabad loomed on the horizon, a challenge he was ready to face. Kiara entered the room, her presence a comforting constant in his life. "When will you come back?" she inquired, her voice a soft melody in the quiet space.

Shubman turned to her, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, "You are also coming because you're the Team Psychologist." Kiara's grin was sheepish, a charming reminder of the many roles she juggled with grace. "I forgot about it," she admitted, her laughter mingling with his.

"Go and pack. We need to leave tonight," Shubman said, his tone gentle yet firm. Kiara nodded, her movements a dance of efficiency as she began to pack.

The house, once filled with the laughter and chatter of their cousins, quieted down as they departed after breakfast. Keart and Lakwinder returned early from their pilgrimage, their presence a testament to the importance of this match.

Keart, with a mother's tenderness, cupped Kiara's face in her hands. "Thank you so much for bringing our old Shub back again, Kiara. I accept you as my daughter-in-law," she said, her words heavy with emotion and gratitude. Kiara's smile was radiant, a reflection of the love and acceptance she felt.

Lakwinder's paternal affection was evident as he patted Kiara's head, his playful warning, "Tell me if he troubles you. I will break his leg," causing a ripple of laughter to spread through the room.

Shubman watched the exchange, a sense of contentment filling him as he saw Kiara bond with his parents. Their lunch was a feast not just of food, but of shared stories and laughter, a celebration of family.

As evening embraced the day, Shubman and Kiara descended the stairs, their suitcases in hand, ready for the journey ahead. The farewells were heartfelt—Lakwinder and Keart's hugs were tight, and Shahneel's words, "Play well, Shubi," were a sister's blessing.

"Thanks, Di," Shubman replied, his gratitude genuine. Together, he and Kiara made their way to the airport, the Chandigarh paparazzi a gentle presence that allowed them to pass smoothly.

They boarded the flight, settling into their seats as the aircraft prepared to take off. The engines roared to life, and as they ascended into the sky, their journey to Hyderabad for the match began—a journey of hope, anticipation, and the promise of victory.
