Aisha's Pov
It was almost 4 days since Shubi was in SA, and currently the first test match was going on.

But, unfortunately, I was in my college right now.

Sitting on the first bench, my eyes fixed on the clock as the next lecture was free.

The bell rang and a huge smile took its place on my face.

As the class greeted the teacher; I was going to leave for library to watch the match until a voice stopped me.

I turned to look Dr. Khanna, the ENT professor standing there.

"Yes sir" I answered my voice polite and respectful.

"Aisha since this lecture is free we can continue the research work" He said avidly, his voice filled with enthusiasm showing his interest towards the research topic.

My smile faded as I felt a pang in my heart, I wanted to watch the match, not having any option I nodded my head slightly.

"Meet me at the laboratory, I will come there with Aryan and Shreshtha" He said, his voice stern but still polite and I nodded again trying my best to not to show my disappointment.

Aryan sir and shreshtha mam were my seniors who was working on this project too.

With a sigh, I moved upstairs and wore my gloves and mask as I entered the laboratory.

As there was still some time I decided to give a look at the scores.

I checked my phone only to find Shub playing at 63.

I sighed in relief as I found him still not out, my lips twitched into a small smile as I realized he can score a 100.

Go for it Shubi.

"Aisha what happened? Why are you smiling?" Shreshtha mam asked teasingly and my smile faded.

I kept my phone in my pocket and moved my head in no indicating that there was nothing serious while she chuckled.

"Let's start then" Dr.Khanna said and we started working on the project.
A part of mind was focused on the match.

What if he gets out?

The thought was again and again disturbing me as I tried to focus again.

"Aisha focus, otherwise you can hurt yourself" Aryan sir said his voice filled with concern which brought me back and I nodded again.

Bringing back my focus, I devoured myself in the project figuring out all my questions related to it.

The bell rang and I sighed as I realized just two classes were left now.

"Amazing work students we shall continue this tomorrow for now you should attend your respective lectures". Dr. Khanna said with a huge smile, showing how delighted he was with our work .

Taking out my gloves and mask, I washed my hand and then moved downstairs for the next lecture.

On my way to the ophthalmology class, I again took my phone out to check the score.

Shubi was playing on 70 and the team's score was currently 180/2.

I smiled again as I scrolled through the team's official instagram page looking at him, he was looking so damn good in that white jersey.

I entered the class with my eyes fixed on my phone while I sat on the first bench.

As soon as our professor entered, I kept my phone in my bag and greeted her.

Between the ongoing lecture; I heard two girls who was sitting on the second bench gossiping about something.

"Shubman Gill is so hot yaar" One girl  said.

"I know girl, I mean he is literally perfect" The other one said making me jealous.

They are talking about my boyfriend afterall.

I clenched my jaw and felt a sudden sense of possessiveness as I heard them talking about his perfectly built abs.

Not being able to resist my anger, I finally turned, my eyes glaring them and they both looked at me confused.

"Can you guys just stop with your bullshit?" I snapped at them, my voice stern and fierce.

"Sorry Aisha yaar, why are you getting so much angry?" One of them said on which I rolled my eyes.

"Because you are disturbing me" I said sternly and they both sighed.

"Come on Aisha stop being a bookworm" They both said shifting their focus on their phone, they were scrolling through Shub's instagram account.

"I am not being a bookworm but don't you think you should focus on the class rather than talking about random people" I said, my voice still stern and my eyes glaring them.

"Do you even know who is Shubman Gill?" One of them snapped back making me roll my eyes.

"My boyfriend" I muttered under my breathe.

"Huh, what?" They both asked in confused while I gave them a tight lipped smile.

"I don't think so we are having any topic of Shubman Gill in our syllabus so knowing about him is not mandatory" I said, my tone reflecting sarcasm.

"Well.." The other one was saying until
Dr. Shalini, our professor interrupted.

"What's happening Aisha?" Mam asked her voice stern and a bit louder on which they both gulped.

"Aisha sorry yaar please bacha le" They both whispered and a smirk made its way on my face.

"Mam since the class has started they both are talking constantly which is not letting me to focus on the topic" I said my voice a bit loud and tone stern while my lips were twitched into a smirk.

"My God, if you don't want to study then atleast let those study who actually wants to" Mam snapped at them and told them to move out of the class.

And with that the lecture finally came to an end.

As I moved out of the class, I saw those two girls glaring at me while I just rolled my eyes and moved towards my last class.

I took out my phone to check the score only to find Shub on 95, total score was 223/2.

I so badly wanted to see the match live, to see him celebrating his century live but here I am attending a lecture of biostatistics.

With a sigh I entered and settled myself again on the first bench.

As the lecture started, I was making my notes until I heard few guys exclaiming from the last bench.

"Oye Shubman Gill ki century ho gayi" A guy exclaimed trying to keep his voice low but still it was audible to me.

"Yesss" I exclaimed being delighted for Shubi.

But my smile faded as I saw everyone's eyes on me including Dr. Kapoor who was looking at me with questionable eyes.

I gulped my saliva as I realized that I was a little loud for the class.

"What happened Aisha?" Dr. Kapoor asked while my lips trembled as I tried to think of an excuse.

"Mam vo......yes...I solved a typical question" I stammered as I felt my cheeks getting red in embarrassment while the whole class including our professor laughed.

"Come on Aisha" Dr. Kapoor joked as she focused again on the screen while I sighed.

I am going to be stupid always.

As the bell rang and the day finally came to an end, I moved out of my college campus.

The match was still going on, Shub was on 108, I finally wore my airpods and started the live match as I was moving outside the campus.

He was laughing on something with the other batsman who was none other than Virat Kohli.

I took a taxi and sat inside while my whole focus was on the match.

How cute he was looking while laughing.

As the match resumed, shub got out and I felt my heart getting shattered.

I waited whole day to watch him bat and now he was out.

All the players were giving him a standing ovation while he lifted his bat, the thing that caught my eyes was the pendent that I gifted him, it was looking so good on him.

A sense of proudness rushed through my viens as Rohit Sharma patted his back and commentators were praising him.

Ishan was the next batsman and after some time Virat Kohli completed his 50 too.

After few overs day 1 finally came to an end and now Shubi was giving the interview.

I smiled as I admired him, a satisfied smile was there on his face as he talked, his tone polite and respectful.

God that was not fair, I wanted to see him bat live.

As his interview got over, I switched on the highlights of the day 1,keenly observing his perfect and fine shots.

And then it showed the moment in which he scored his 100.

I watched his bow down celebration about which he had told me about in Mumbai.

It was looking so amazing.

And between all of this I was feeling so proud of him.

My shubi.

As soon as the highlights ended, I quickly decided to message him.

I am proud of you Shubi♡

I messaged him and kept my phone and airpods in my bag.

I was so happy today.

Thank you so much God.

It was night time, and I was having my dinner with my laptop on the dining table through which I was talking to Shub, it was a video call.

"You know what then there were two girls who were...." I told him about how they were talking about him and what was my actions then.

He was a laughing mess as I finished telling him about the incident.

"Aww my possessive shinchan" He managed to say between his laughs on which I rolled my eyes.

"Come on Shub" I said sternly as I took another bite of the flatbread.

"Ok sorry sorry, but you were jealous of them right?" He asked, his voice filled with mischievousness.

"Ofcourse I was jealous, you are my boyfriend afterall" I said on which he chuckled.

"And look at their audacity, Do you even know Shubman Gill, Huh, they deserved it" I said mimicking them as I remembered the incident while he again laughed.

"Come on shinchan, don't spoil your mood because of them, aur waise bhi this shubi belongs to his shinchan only" He said softly making my heart flutter as I smiled shyly while he chuckled.

"You know after that..." I told him about my whole day, how I was trying to watch the match throughout the day and was not able to.

"And I was not able to see you bat live" I concluded with disappointment while he sighed.

"It's ok shinchan, you were having your classes, if you want I can bat right now, let me call Ishan" He said picking up his bat from a corner making my eyes wide.

"No Shubi, it's ok, waise bhi I want to see you playing live in the team jersey" I said with a giggle as he was craesing his bat.

"Ok let me change into the team jersey, then you can see me bat live in the team jersey" He said as he got up from his bed and I facepalmed myself.

"Shubi stop, it's not needed" I said with a smile as he shrugged innocently
"But my girlfriend wants it" He said making me chuckle.

"Shubi why are you so cute?" I whined while he grinned.

"Only for you mam" He said and we both laughed.

After that he shared his day and we were just talking about random things as I finished my dinner.

With one hand I picked the dishes and with other the laptop while he continued to talk.

Keeping the laptop on the kitchen counter, I started washing the dishes while he was telling me about an incident.

That was our routine from past few days.

We would chat for hours with me having my dinner and doing the other chores in the night until it was my study time.

My biggest misunderstanding about relationships that was we cannot study well while being in a relationship just blewed away as I realized how effortlessly I was doing my studies with his support.

He would make sure that I do not surpass the time fixed for my studies as he would cut the call even though I would be the one who will plead for some more time.

Shubman was something that I had always imagined but never expected it to turn into reality.
