Listen to the song^^

Aashna's pov:

White is my favourite colour. I like all shades of white. That's why I decided to wear a really pretty white dress for our date....and aunt said that I'm really fair so this white dress will look si good on me but I disagree, I think it will look good on everyone regardless of their skin colour, for all the english brides wear it. But you can't relly make indian millennials make that understand.

Shubman is really tall and I'm just 5'3" so heels are necessary. The hair tie was to accessorize my outfit.

I was doing my makeup, I just think I should go for nude makeup only and nothing too much just a normal half eye eyeliner and kajal for my upper eyelid and mascara.

My eyes are already big and this makes my eyes look so much bigger.

As I was going through the other eye, my phone rang and it was Shubman, don't tell me he's here already, like half of my face is left for makeup!!

I pick up.

"Hello? Are u here already?" I ask.

"Hey! No! I wanted to bring something for your aunt and uncle and your brother, khaali haath aana accha nhi lagta na so I just thought ki main apna dimaag na chalaun aur tumse puch lu. It would be better yk." He says.

He is the cutest, oh my god, how cute he is, like he's literally asking me what to bring cause he wants it to be perfect, I've got myself a gent.

I start to laugh.

"Don't laugh, I'm a man, what do you expect? Tumse puchna padega nhi? ek to tumhare fufaji hates me aur fir me kuch unki na pasand ka le aana toh then he'll hate me more. So just tell me place and objects." He says.

I stop laughing and say.

"Ok ok wait I'll just tell you the perfect place and the perfect gift. Me abhi tumhe text krti hu location of store and what u need to get from there."

"Aur haan! Jaldi aa jao, we'll be able to get more time right? I'm waiting!" I say.

"Aaye haye, I'll be there asap, tbh, I can't wait to see you....bye." and he hangs up.

Tbh....I can't wait to see him too.

He thought so much about my fam.....uhhh it's so annoying, I don't wanna fall for him so fast.

After sometime I'm ready to go, I take my phone and other necessary stuff in my purse and wear my heels.

I hear the doorbell.

I hope fufaji doesn't open the door, so I rush downstairs but what I feared had happened.

Shubman was standing with a huge paperbag and a huge bouquet of lilies.

He was wearing a white and green shirt with casual jeans and sneakers and he had the rolex which I've seen on him before. And that stubble is gone so he probably shaved.

"Good evening sir! I was here to pick up Aashna, if you can call...." He stops when he sees me coming from the background.

His mouth slightly opens and his eyes are fixed at me, he stills for a moment, and before it gets awkward, I cough loudly and he resumes to what he was doing.

"Hii shubman, great to see you. Let's go.." I try to sound nonchalant.

"Sir, this is for you and ma'am!" He says handing the bag to my uncle and he eyes Shubman for a second before taking it from his hands.

"And this is for you..." He says to me before handing me the bouquet, lilies are my favourite.

"Good to see you, kid! You were at the plane earlier?" He asks.

"Uhh...yeah actually I had a match in Australia so that's what I'm doing here.." Shubman says.

"Match? What sport?" He asks.

"Cricket, the tests are going on actually...so we had to come here to play.." he says.

"You're a cricketer? What's your name?" Uncle asks him.

"I'm Shubman...Gill...." Shubman says unsure of what to say next.

Uncle turns to me.

"I'm impressed! But make sure you return by 11.30. Ok?" He says.

"Yeah sure ok!" I say and we get outside the house.

"That guy still hates me and you look gorgeous!" He says.

"Do think that guy hates you and you look just so hot." I say and quickly go to the other side of the car he brought.

He quickly comes behind me and opens the door for me.

"Will you be my passenger princess?"

He offers and i laugh and say yes and get into the passenger seat.

He gets into the driver's seat and fire up the car.

"You said something about me being hot when we were outside didn't you?" He said making me blush.

"Kya bol rhe ho tum, mene toh esa kuchh bhi nhi kaha?" I try to sound normal.

"Accha, but I heard!" He says.

"Shubman, mene tumhe already aadha maaf kr diya he, don't make me undo it." I say.

"Oh ho fir to I should just drive." He says and starts driving.

"How are you.....driving in Aus?" I ask him, strange.

"I have a license! Don't ask me how, jugaad." He said.

"Huh? Is it legal?" I ask.

"Completely baby!" He said and I realize that he just called me baby.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to call you that, I just....it just happened, with the flow, not that I don't want to but yk what I mean?" He says.

"I know Shubman, stop, it's alright." I say.

We went to a restaurant and sat there.

We ordered some food and started eating. We talked about pur food preferences and he told me that his mom makes the best Aloo parathas.

"Idk why? But mera to pet hi nhi bharta yahan ke khane se! Is it ok to feel this?" Shubman asked me.

"I can't say the same lekin haan mtlb of course yahan ka khana thoda sa tasteless hota h compared to Indian food." I say and he nods.

"I have an idea, let's go to this place I know and I swear wahan pr Australia ka best Indian food milta h, do u wanna try?" I ask him.

"Yeah, if you are saying to definitely accha hi hoga!" He says.

We call for the bill and I take out my cluctch bag but he stops me and pays himself even after I insisted.

We sit in the car and I ask him why didn't he let me pay?

"I could let you be the strong independent woman that u ARE but please, tonight I just wanna pamper you, can I not do that?" He said.

"You can but..." I don't know what to say.

"No buts, now guide me to this place otherwise ham kho jayenge."

I directed him and he drove us there.

It is a roadside food truck but me and my friends come here usually and the food id really good.

"Yeh wo jagah h?" He asked me.

"Haan why, do you have any problem?" I asked him.

He smiled and looked at me.

"It's just that......mene bohot time se kisi esi place pe nhi khaya and I always wanted to." He tells me.

"Fir wait kyu kr rhe he, let's just go!" I say and get out of the car.

He follows me and I order onion rings while he orders chaat.

"Here, taste it, it's so good!" I hand him one ring but he doesn't eat.

"What happened? Why are you not eating?"

"I hate onions." He says and I widen my eyes, how can someone hate onions.

"Just look at me and try it." I say to him and he does that.

He chews and widen his eyes.

"Oh my god do you wanna puke?" I ask and open my bag to search for some tissues but he says.

"I don't know how but onion doesn't taste so bad, I mean it's edible."

"Of course, I told you right?" I say and we eat and joke around.

After that, we decide to take a walk ok the pathway.

"Aashna, I......really like you." Shubman says.

"Ok, I......think you are such a gentleman, but I don't wanna rush into it, so let's go on a few dates, get to k nmow each other and then let's see what happens?" I say and he nods and agrees with me.

I spot an ice-cream truck.

"Shubman! Let's get ice-cream please please!" I say and he says.

"Yesh chalo, let's do that." We together go to the ice-cream truck and buy our ice-creams and start walking again.

We come across a really huge ferris wheel and Shubman looks at me and says.

"Do you wanna do the ferris wheel?"

"Really? Yes please, let's go!"

We take the ticket and he climbs in and offer me his hand. I take it and climb in.

"Your hands are so soft." He says.

And actually his hands are quiet hard compared to mine.

"Thank you." I blush and look down.

"Do you wanna taste my ice-cream?" I ask him and he tastes it.

I do the same with his.

But then I notice that he has some of it on his nose and I take out a tissue and wipe it off his nose, he close his eyes and I'm holding his face and inhales a deep breath.

We are really close.

I lean back from him.

"You are so cute." I say and he smiles showing me his dimples.

"I can say the same about you." He sats and we both laugh.

Then we get off from the wheel and it's finally time to go.

We get in the car and put on some music, there is this comfortable silence among us, I look out of the window and sometimes sneakily look at him driving, and he too looks over at me.

A diljit dosanjh song is playing in the car and it went like....love ya love ya love ya.....

Shubman is humming along to the tune.

We reach at my place and Shubman opens the car door for me.

I get out and we walk a little over to my gate.

"Ummm...thank you Shubman, that was a really nice date." I say.

"Do you forgive me now?" He asks.

We laugh at this.

"You are forgiven!" I say.

He keeps his hand over his heart and exhales a Thank God.

I laugh again.

He looks at me and we're silent again.

He starts to come closer and closer.

I start to feel nervous.

He is so close I can feel his breath.

I look a little down and he comes more close and pecks me cheek softly.

I open my mouth and inhale deeply. He retreats to his original position and in a very soft tone says thank you again.

"It's late, you should go inside." He says and I look at him and smile and say bye to him.

He bids me bye too and stands by his car till I reach my door.

He gets in the car and waits for me to go inside, I look at him through my half opened door and say go to him but he says you go in first. As I'm closing the door I see his car drive away.

I see my aunt standing in the hallway and I smile on seeing her.

"Kesi rhi date night?" She asks me with excitement and I tell her in brief.

I go upstairs and look in the mirror.

I already miss Shub.

Wait! did I call him shub in my thoughts, wow, my mind has a mind of it's own. But it's cute.

I don't wanna take off this dress and the heels and the makeup.

I look so good but I start taking off my makeup and complete my night routine and get ready for bed.

I text Shubman and ask if he's reached safely.

He texts me back and I send him a normal heart emoji and get one back.

I sleep peacefully that night.

Third pov:

That night wss the best.

As Shubman saw Aashna in that dress, it felt like she was a goddess that just came down on earth.

And yes it was like she really did just come down, where has she been all his life, he had wasted 30 years of his life without her, now all those years looked pale and blank.

Life without her was shit.

Shubman could swear on his life he had never loved onions and wouldn't even eat something that had onion in it. But today even that from her hands didn't taste so bad.

Was she a witch? How can she change his tastebuds?

Or did she do something with the onion ring that she fed him with her own hands, Shubman had never been happier. If he would tell his mom about this, she would be shocked, she has been trying to feed him onions all his life but he never ate it.

What was happening, where was he going, why was he becoming a better person? It was all because of Aashna.

She was his ray of hope.

She was his saviour, and she had already saved him without even knowing.

She was his everything.
