"It's so good to be here, right?" Maa asked while I was lying on the bed scrolling through my insta.

I hummed in response.

"Did you met the famous cricketer? Paulami told me that the groom has a famous cousin, whose name is Shubman gill" Maa said and then it striked it to my mind that I didn't told her about Shubman.

"Yeah I met him, he was nice" I said while I googled his name.

Ok, so he is from Punjab, nice.
He even had a double century and was once no. one batsman in odi format, well not to ignore that I don't know what's odi at all but its ok.

Now, I know why he is famous!

I searched his Instagram and there it was with 14 million followers, I didn't knew he was that much popular.

Okay, there was a shirtless photo of him in which he was looking hot no, damn hot.

Scrolling through is Instagram, I didn't realized when I reached at the end of it.
"What are you doing Aisha, you should sleep" Maa said and I looked at her with a mischievous smile.

"Maa do you know him?" I asked her showing her the photo of Shubman.

"Isn't he the same guy who broke my watch, tujhe kaha se mila is ka photo?" She asked making me chuckle.

"He is Shubman Gill" I said and saw her eyes widening.

"No this can't be possible, you are kidding right?" Maa asked making me laugh.

"I wish but it's true, he is Shubman Gill and don't worry I apologized to him already" I said but I can notice that guilt taking over her face.

I shouldn't have told her this.

"Oh my God, poor him, he must be feeling so embarrassed in front of so many people, I shouldn't have done that" Maa said in one breathe.

"Maa stop it,we can't do anything now I already apologized to him and on top of that you were not feeling any guilt until you came to know about of him being a celebrity, so take him as a normal human being only and chill" I said and she gave me a small smile.

I knew she wasn't still convinced by this.

With a sigh, I stood up and gave her a hug.

"I am going on the terrace for some fresh air, you wanna join me?" I asked her while wearing my sleepers.

"No I am too tired,you go and come soon" She said while I looked at myself in the mirror.

I was in my favourite pj's, yupp the shinchan one, with my specs on.

Giving her a kiss on her cheek, I went out of the room.

As I entered terrace, the cold breeze touched my face making me smile.

As I moved ahead, I saw someone, standing with their hands on the railing.

As I moved more closely, I got to know the person was none other than Shubman.

He was staring at the stars with a smile, the damn dimples.

The moonlight was making his face more majestic.

"Hey" He said as he turned towards me and I gave him a small smile.

"Come" He asked signalling me to stand beside him which I did.

Keeping my hands on the railing, I looked at the night sky.

The sudden feeling of comfort took over me, making me relax.

I should have brought my camera here.
I felt my hairs touching my face.

"You look good in specs shinchan" Shubman said interrupting my thoughts.

Shinchan?

Oh, my pj's, no way!!

"Don't call me that" I whined and looked at him who was already looking at me or I say staring me.

"Fine shinchan" He again said while holding his laugh which I can clearly see.

"Stop it" I said glaring at him.

It was not like that I was not liking this but still it seems weird.

He laughed on that.

"It's so peaceful right?" He asked and I hummed in response.

"So you are from Shimla?" He asked and I again hummed in response.

"Not too far from Chandigarh" He said and I smiled at him.

"So you are from Chandigarh" I asked and he nodded.

"Well we shifted there from our village for my cricket" He replied.

"Nice, I had spent my entire childhood in Shimla in the same house" I said

"Well what does your dad do?" He asked and I felt my smile fading away.

My lips trembled as I tried to answer him.

He looked at me with questioning eyes which soon turned into concerning ones.

"He is no more" I said and left out a sigh, as I felt my heart shrinking.

"I am sorry" He murmerd.

There was an awkard silence there.

"We lost him in an accident when I was in 12th" I said looking at the stars, and could feel him staring at me.

I didn't knew where I got that courage to speak up but it felt a little comfortable around him.

"You are strong Shinchan" He whispered making me chuckle.

I shifted my gaze on him and he was standing there giving me a grin.

"If that is what you are going to call me then I should also give you a nickname" I said and his smile grew more wider.

"What's that?" He asked with his arms folded as he turned towards me completely.

Shub? Nooo

"I don't know, what should I?" I asked him and he giggled on that.

"Well that's your job" He said making me sigh.

"Shubi, I am going to call you Shubi" I exclaimed and he laughed on that.

"That's cute Shinchan" He said making me giggle.

"Thanks Shubi" I murmered and we both shared a laugh.

"So do you have Virat Kohli's number" I asked while playing with my fingers.

Why I asked him that?

Oh God!

What he must be thinking?

He laughed again.

He laughs so much!

"Yeah I have" He said making my eyes widened.

"Whoa! You are so lucky" I exclaimed and immediately regretted.

He is a cricketer too Aisha.

"You are cute Shinchan" He whispered and I felt my cheeks getting red.

"So, tell me something about your cricket" I asked out of my curiosity.

I never liked cricket, I mean,honestly,I never understood it, runs, overs etc etc.

"I was the orange cap holder in this ipl season" He said making me confuse.

"Orange cap? Virat kohli has red cap right?" I asked him and he looked at me with his eyes widened.

He started laughing loudly making me more confuse.

Did I say something wrong again?

But I had seen kohli in ipl with that red jersey and cap.

Shubman must have orange cap.

What's wrong in that?

"Too cute shinchan" He murmered between his laughs making me a little angry.

"What's wrong Shub?" I asked him with irritation.

"Orange cap is given to the person who scores most run in a season of ipl" He said and again started laughing making me embarrass.

Why Aisha???

Why are you so stupid?

Virat kohli has red cap!!

Seriously Aisha!

I was looking downwards clearly embarrassed because of my stupidity and listening to his stupid laugh until I realized my hairs being ruffled.

I looked up to find Shub ruffling my hairs.

"Its ok shinchan, I understand" He said and I felt a little relaxed.

"Congrats shubi, I didn't knew you played that well, you scored more than Virat Kohli" I said exclaimed by the fact that he was the one who scored most runs in the season.

He chuckled on that.
"It's not like that, he is my inspiration and I try to be like him nothing else."He said making me smile.

"You are clearly following the path Shubie" I said with a smile which he returned.

We were just looking at each other or having an eye contact,maybe,until my phone rang bringing us back.

Maa it showed.

I looked at him and again at the phone and picked it up.

"Aisha you should sleep now, come downstairs" Maa said in a loud tone.

"Yeah coming" I said and hanged up the call.

"Good night Shinchan" He whispered and I smiled, a genuine smile.

"Good night Shubi" I whispered as I turned to leave.

I could feel him smiling as I went downstairs.
