Aria

Today is the day I'll be flying to Mumbai. All these days I couldn't do anything in peace without a certain handsome man always on my mind.  Shrey occupied my mind all the time. Every single minute of the day. Is this how his fans will be feeling? Just shrey shrey shrey going round round in their head.

We haven't spoken properly due to his intense training session. But I'll be seeing him today and I can't control my happiness.

I packed all my stuff. I threw in a few casual clothes and some shoes. Rahul specifically asked me to get hot clothes. I have no idea what his meaning of hot is but I did take a few dresses that fit me well.

Finally I kept the tickets and shrey's jersey. I still remember when he gave me this Jersey. That unsure look on his face, that tiny hope he had, that shy smile while he saw me take it in my hands and that wide grin when I said I will go to his matches.
Not in a million years would I have thought that this little bundle of joy will be mine.

After the packing and day dreaming about shrey, I finally got dressed and left to the airport.

The flight took me about two hours to reach from Bangalore to Mumbai and every time I thought about seeing him, my stomach would erupt in butterflies and I would sense this warm feeling in my whole body.

We landed and I couldn't help but rush to my luggage. I had to take a cab to the hotel and then leave to the stadium. The match was in the evening and it was 3pm now.

Once I got out of the airport I found a weird man with huge glasses, a mask, a coat two sizes too big and a bucket hat, holding a piece of paper with my name on it.

Wait, shrey didn't tell me anything about sending me a driver or a car. So who is this?

As soon as that person saw me they waved their hand frantically and asked me to come over.

If I was in any other situation I would have ran but curiosity got the best of me and I slowly walked upto him and stood there waiting for him to say something.

"Wassup babygirl", he said.

Heh?

Who is this guy?

"Pst. How do you not recognise my voice?", He said and lowered his glasses and winked.

Only one person was capable of pulling a stunt like this.

Rahul!

" Rah-", I was stopped mid sentence by Rahul slamming his hands on my mouth.

"Shush woman! I'm here under cover", he said looking around and making sure nobody saw us.

"Oh okay okay I'm sorry", I whispered.

"Let's go. Lover boy is waiting for you at the hotel", he said.

"Shrey is at the hotel?", I asked surprised. He said he wouldn't see me until after the match.

"Oh fuck. Fuck fuck. This was supposed to be a secret. Ugh! Shrey is going to kick my ass", he said rushing into a car and pushing me into the back seat.

"Ouch rahul. I can get in myself", I said sitting clearly and looking at the person in the driver's seat.

"Deepak!!!!", I screaming jumping forward and hugging him.

"Hey gorgeous", he said hugging me back.

"You guys came to pick me up. I'm gonna cry", I said wiping my fake tears off and pouting.

"Drama queen. I'm surprised you identified rahul considering the outfit he's wearing", he chuckled.

"It was easy. Nobody would wear anything like that other than him. The worst part is that he pulls this off so well. Like how??? He  can wear rags and probably still look good", I said as rahul got into the front seat.

"What were you talking about me? Don't tell me you wanna break up with shrey for me. Coz I wouldn't mind", he said winking.

"In your dreams rahul", I said shaking my head and deepak slapped rahul across his head.

"Drive", he said rubbing the part where deepak hit him.

Mumbai. I haven't been in this city since I left 7 years ago. It contains both good and bad memories and shrey is in both of them.
Everything reminded me of what a wonderful time I had here with shrey.
Hopefully I get to relive all the tiny things we did together.

My train of thoughts was interrupted but Deepak who said we reached.

Shrey had booked the Taj for my stay even though I told him it was too expensive. I  don't like it when he spends too much on me. But he was way too adamant. It was either the best of hotels or his house.

It was too early for me to go to his house. He told me he spoke to his mother about me but still meeting his family and staying with them for a week still gave me the chills. I did know rohini aunty from when I was staying there but still I hesitated.

The whole of the team and their families were at the Taj so when shrey persisted in did give in. It would be nice to finally meet the rest of the family.

As we entered the hotel, my gaze fell upon shrey who was standing there with a huge bouquet of pink tulips.

I ran to him and hugged him.

"Hi", I whispered.

"Hi sweetheart", he said hugging me tighter.

"I missed you".

"I missed you too", he said breaking the hug and giving me the bouquet.

" These are so pretty", I said beaming at the beautiful flowers in my hand.

"Only the best for my darling", he said kissing my forehead.

"Arey are you gonna introduce us or are you gonna start making babies right here", someone screamed from behind making me go red.

"Please ignore every inappropriate things these idiots quack okay?", He whispered and turned around holding my hand and taking me to the group of people.

"Okay so guys this is Aria, my girlfriend", he said holding my waist and pulling me closer.

"No she's Aria my best friend", said Rahul standing on the other side of me.

"Ari this is Hardik, Natasha and their baby boy Agastya, shikhar bhaiya, Rohit bhai and his wife ritika, sky you already know, and finally virat bhai".

I was in awe of all of them. The only time I had seen them was on tv and now I'm getting to see them in person.

"Hi", I squeaked out.

"Aye we don't bite", said virat bhai as he walked forward and shook my hand.

"It's nice to finally meet the person shrey has been obsessing over", said Natasha hugging me.

They all seemed like such sweethearts.

"Okay guys. I'm gonna to take her to her room. Thanks for waiting up to meet her", said shrey pulling me away from them. I bid them my good byes and walked along with shrey.

"Are you not  staying at the hotel", I asked him.

"Where else will I be", he said kissing the side of my head.

"No I thought you'll be at home".

"My home is where you are Ari", he said making me blush.

Once we reached the room, he told me the room next to us was hardik and fam. We got in and shrey jumped on the bed and pulled me over him.

"I missed your touch", he said placing small kisses down my neck.

"Shrey not now. You need to leave for the match", I said pushing him away.

"But I need the kisses", he pouted.

"Okay then I'll give you as many as you want when you win the match today", I said smiling.

"How many ever I want?", He beamed.

"Yes", I nodded making his jump and hug me.

"Now I have to win the match for you".

We were interrupted by a bang on the door. From past experiences I knew it was Rahul.

Shrey got up and opened it and was immediately tackled down to the floor.

I went to see who this person was and found yuzi sitting on shrey's chest.

"You good for nothing gorilla you couldn't wait until I came to introduce your girlfriend to everybody", he said punching shrey while he laughed.

As soon as he noticed me, he stood up and straightened his tshirt and held his hand In front.

"Hello ji I'm yuzi. This fucker calls me best friend and doesn't even bother calling me", he said shaking my hand.

"Hello", I said.

"I'll see you at the match okay", he said and left giving one last kick to shrey who was laughing his ass off on the floor.

Shrey finally got up and left to the Stadium to prep for the match.

I showered and got dressed. I wore the jersey shrey gave me and looked into the mirror. If I'm sitting with the other girlfriends and wives then today's the day I'll be letting the world know I'm Shreyas Iyer's girlfriend. I don't know if I'm ready for it yet.

The knock on the door interrupted me and I opened the door to Natasha and Agastya.

"Hey girl. You ready to leave?", She asked as she entered the room. Both her and Agastya were wearing hardik's Jersey.

Agastya was the cutest little munchkin. He looked exactly like his mother and she was gorgeous.

"Why do you look worried honey", she asked.

"Shrey and I have never gone public. Today is the first time I'm setting out as his girlfriend and I don't know how to feel about it", I said.

"Aw honey I know how you feel. This is exactly how I initially felt but let me tell you one thing. What the world thinks about the both of you should be the least of your concern. No matter what happens, you have him and he has you. That's all that matters", she said giving me a warm smile.

Aw I love her already.

Agastya slowly crawled to me and sat on my lap.

"Wow. He usually doesn't go to people by himself. I guess he likes you", she said smiling at us.

I carried him and we left to the stadium.

We met ritika di, devisha di, dhana who I learnt was yuzi's wife.

"Hey you look so pretty Aria", said dhana as I walked to them.

"No wonder shrey has been obsessing over you", said ritika di. She had her daughter sammy with her. Why are these people so cute. They made me feel so warm.

"Okay let's go support our boys", dhana screamed.

So we left to the stadium.

Can't wait to be at the stands and cheer for shrey.
