"All set?" Shubman asked me.

"Let's go" I said putting on my seatbelt. Shubman got fresh in his house and then came to pick me up for shopping.

"Where are we exactly going?" I asked while he was driving.

"To my friend's fashion shop. He has everything we need and the collection is amazing. We did all our shopping for Shahneel Di's marriage from his shop. Manish Malhotra or Sabyasachi, you ask for it, he's got it" he answered.

"Why're we going to such an expensive shop?" I asked. I don't want him to pay so much money for me.

"Who's asking you to see the price? I'm buying you everything so just choose what you like" he replied.

"You don't have to. I can pay for myself" I said.

"Well I'm not letting you do so" he replied.

"So bossy" I rolled my eyes.

"I know baby" he winked.

We reached the shop after fifteen minutes. Shubman parked the car after which we stepped outside.

"Not again Shub" I rolled my eyes seeing Shubman put his black hood and black sunglasses.

"What? It's for safety" he replied shrugging.

"Whatever" I said.

We stepped inside the shop together which hardly had any customers.

"Shubman!" A man exclaimed when he saw Shubman.

"Hey Deepak" Shubman hugged him.

"Long time no see" Deepak said to Shubman.

"Yeah was busy with tour matches" Shubman replied.

"So she's your​ fiancee?" Deepak asked looking at me.

"Yes, she's Anya, my fiancee" Shubman said protectively wrapping his right arm around my shoulder.

"Hey Anya, I'm Deepak" he introduced himself extending his hand.

"Nice to meet you sir" I smiled shaking hands with him.

"Only Deepak" he said.

"Okay Deepak" I smiled.

"So should we do the paperwork first?" Shubman asked Deepak. What paperwork?

"Sure, come with me" Deepak said.

"Wha-" I was about to ask Shubman but he cuts me off.

"I'll back in ten minutes. Take a look at the shop till then?" he said.

"Okay" I smiled.

Shubman went somewhere with Deepak after this.

"Excuse me ma'am, how can I help you?" A salesgirl approached me.

"Umm.. can you show me some good lehangas?" I asked.

"Sure ma'am, please come with me" she said and I followed her. She took me upstairs and made me sit in a chair. A huge mattress was placed in front of me.

"If you don't mind me asking, for what occasion you need it?" she asked.

"My friend's engagement" I replied. She nodded and started showing me few lehengas.

All of the lehangas were so pretty that I could barely choose one. They all look expensive too. I grabbed a blue lehenga and checked the price tag.

Rs 250000. It said. These are way out of my range! I know I'm not paying for it but still I'm not habitual of wearing such expensive clothes.

"What is the minimum price of a lehanga in your shop?" I asked quite hesitantly.

She girl gave me a weird look after hearing my question. Well obviously, she saw me with Shubman and must have figured out I'm his fiancee. One doesn't expect the Shubman Gill's fiancee to ask such questions.

"They usually start from Rs 50000, ma'am" she replied. I feel quite embarrassed now for asking this.

"Alright" I said with a sheepish smile and continued checking out the lehangas.

"Hey babygirl, kuch pasand aaya?" Shubman asked joining me.

"Babygirl?" I asked blushing, "can't I call you that?" he asked.

"You can. Just never expected you to call me by such names" I replied.

"By the way, kis paperwork ke liye gaye the?" I asked him.

"Oh paperwork, actually whenever we cricketers or celebs want to conceal anything we sign on an agreement. I don't want the public to know about us so I made Deepak sign in an agreement where he will conceal our visit to his shop" he explained.

"Oh" I sighed. "And shop itni khaali kyun hai?" I asked him.

"I asked Deepak to vacate this shop before we come. I don't want anyone to see us together, nor do you" he replied and I just nod.

"Anyway, which ones did you short list?" he asked looking at the huge pile of lehangas placed in front of me.

"Shub, these are too expensive! Let's buy from some other shop" I whispered in his ear.

"Let me check" he said fetching one from the pile and checked the price.

"Its price is only five lakhs" he replied casually. Only? Seriously?

"Yeh tumhara only hai?" I asked shocked.

"Listen, I told you not to see the price. Jo pasand hai vo lelo" he said.

"Fine" I groaned.

After about an hour, Shubman and I along with the salesgirl short listed fifteen lehangas.

"You know Shahneel di ki shaadi ka lehanga finalise karne me bhi itna time nhi laga tha jitna tum le rahi ho" Shubman laughed making fun of me and I glared at him.

"I can't choose Shub!" I said throwing my hands in fraustration. "Tum hi karlo na" I told him.

"Okay" he replied.

After about five minutes he gave his nod to a light pink lehanga which was absolutely stunning. I must say, he's got a great choice.

"Pack this one" Shubman told the girl and she took the lehanga downstairs.

"Ab mere liye bhi kurta dekh lein?" Shubman asked.

"Haan let's go" I asked.

We went to the men's section where Deepak himself decided to show us kurtas for Shubman.

"These will match the lehanga you chose" Deepak said placing some kurtas in front of us.

"You decide, I'm hella confused" Shubman said to me laughing.

"Okay fine" I replied and started examining the kurtas. Well, this is tougher than choosing the lehanga.

"I can't decide Shub, can you put these on and show me?" I asked.

"I don't mind that" he replied and took a kurta to the trial room. He came back after a minute or so after wearing it.

I literally had my jaw dropped. He was looking smoking hot in it and I could barely get my eyes off him. How come I became so lucky to call this hot stuff my fiance?

"Is this good?" he asked me.

"It's amazing" I smiled.

He tried few more kurtas and finally we were able to chose the perfect outfit for Shubman.

Phew! Finally it's over.

"Finally ab ghar" I sighed in relief.

"Oh hello, we aren't done yet" Shubman said.

"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.

"Who's going to buy the accessories for you?" he asked.

"I'll buy them later" I told him.

"You're buying those now! If I leave it to you, tum pakka Delhi ke kisi chor bazar se khreedne wali ho" Shubman said.

"That was mean" I replied giving a glare.

"C'mon let's go" he said interwining our hands and led us upstairs.

"Jewellery?" Anya asked perplexed.

"Yes" I replied and sat us done on a sofa.

I asked Deepak to show some good designs of diamond jewellery for Anya which will match her outfit.

"Shubman why are you spending so much on me? I don't want these!" she said irritated of me.

"Why're you always looking at the price? I don't care about the money if you like it!" I replied.

"But this is too much" she sighed.

"You'll get used to this" I told her.

After umpteen tantrums, Anya finally agreed to buy some really good jewellery for herself.

"I hate you" Anya said with a pissed face and I just laughed at it.

"Let's go buy heels for you" I said looking at the list I prepared this morning which had everything a girl needs for such functions.

"I'm not wearing heels!" she protested.

"You have to" I said.

"But why?" she whined.

"Shayad tum bhul gayi ho ki tum ek average heightened ladki ho aur mai tall hu" I told her.

"So?" she asked.

"So you need to wear heels. I want us to look good together" I said.

"Ugh fine" she groaned.

Buying heels was easier as Anya didn't argue much with me, thankfully. I paid for everything after this and carried the bags to the car.

"I'm so sleepy" Anya yawned sitting on the passenger seat. We have been shopping over four hours which was tiring.

"Are you hungry? We can stop by some restaurant if you're" I told her.

"I just need my bed right now" she replied closing her eyes and tilting her head against the window.

"I'll drop you home then" I said and started driving.

After driving for some twenty minutes we reached her home. Anya has been sleeping all this time.

"Anya wake up, ghar aa gaya" I shook her lightly. She woke up in the first attempt itself.

"Thanks Shub" she said stepping out. "Do you want to come inside?" she asked.

"I'm sorry but not today. I haven't spent much time with mom and dad since I came back. Maybe some other day" I told her.

"Yeah sure" she said.

"Bye" I said.

"Bye" she replied and went inside. I went back home after this.
