Aashna's pov:

It has been a few days since Shubman returned to india and I miss him already.

Am I IN love with him? No.

But God do I love that guy? Yes.

The only problem is the difference between the time zones.

So we have found a common time when we can talk to each other.

We talk a lot, day and night, I find myself engaged in our calls and texts.

He tells me everything he's doing, or maybe I think he does.

Where he's going, who's he with, and he also asks me for my opinions and choices for the clothes he wear.

Valentine's day is going to come soon but none of us have talked about it.

I don't even know what to give him.

And I don't know if he's gonna give me something.

On the morning of valentines day, I get up early around 9 in the morning.....9 is very early for me.

And take a shower and get dressed.

Today is a holiday in Australia so me and my besties have decided to spend this day together, considering that they both are single and my Valentine is in another continent.

I decide to wear a red dress and put my hair up by a clutch.

I quickly snap a picture and send it to Shubman with the caption..."Happy Valentine's!"

He quickly responds me back with a "same to you, love"

Maybe he's not too into these things...it's alright.

Shubman: Where are you going?

Me: oh I'm just going out with my friends.

Shubman: If I was there, kya tum mere saath jaati?

Me: of course shub, you are like my valentine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Shubman:🥰🥰

Me: accha batao, kya gift liya mere liye?

Shubman: main desi aadmi hu, me Valentine's nhi banata....😎😎

Me:whattt?? Kitne unromantic ho tum😑

Shubman: it's alright, tum ho na romance ke liye, kaafi h😉

Me: tumhari koi bhi tareef is not going to change the fact ki tumne mere liye kucch nhi liya Valentine's day par BHI😶😶

Shubman:arey yaar sorry, I'm sorry,
Agar tumhe bura feel hua toh?😧😧

Me: hah! Got you! It's alright, daro mt, me bura nhi manti, me toh bss keh rhi thi, mujhe kucch nhi chahiye.

Just then the doorbell rings, maybe my friends are here.

I go downstairs and open the door.

It's the post.

There was big huge parcel, with my name on it.

But who would send me a gift, is someone stalking me?

I take my parcel and begin to open it.

"Arey ye kya h?" Aunt comes around me and asks me.

"Pta nhi bua, kisi ne mujhe bheja he Valentine's day gift he shayad?"

"Shubman ne bheja he?" She asks.

"I don't think so because wo to bol rha tha ki wo ye sab nhi banata." I tell her.

I unwrap and find there is a huge red coloured box, I open the box and there is a cute teddy bear and a bouquet of fresh roses, also there is a little box so I pick it up and open it.

I'm shocked to see that inside it, are two diamond bangles.

I don't know what to say, I swear if it's Shubman....

There is a note inside it, I pick it up and read it.

"Yes, that's true, I don't celebrate Valentine's, but for you, I'm ready to!"
                              - Yours,
                                Shubman

I can't believe this.....these bangles are too pretty but how can I take them, we are not even dating!

I call shubman instantly and he picks up after a few rings.

"Kyu, rha nhi ja rha mere bina, Valentine's day pr yaad aa rhi hogi na meri??" He says with aloofness.

"Shut up! Ye sab kyo bheja tumne? Tum to bol rhe the ki tum ye sab nhi krte, aur ye bangles? Shubman ye sab ki kya need h?" I say.

"Ek minute, tumhe....psnd nhi aayi design?" He says.

"Oh my god shub! It's not that, it's just.....you didn't have to do all of this." I say.

"Now what's the point, I have already!" He says.

"Shubman! I can't take this!" I say.

"And....may I know the reason?"

"Arey yaar, we are not even dating! Why are you doing all this?" I say.

"So iss problem ko bhi fix kar lenge, koi nhi, I might come to Australia in a while, phone pe propose nhi karunga! Jab tak, please, please, keep the stuff, please! Tumhe meri kasam!" He says.

"Shubman!!! Noo!!! Kyu kara tumne? Now I'll have to keep it!!" I wanna laugh at this.

"Ab meri jaan tumhare haathon me he, so tumhari marzi...." he says.

I huff and wear the bangles.

"Chinta mt karo, pehen li he mene!" I say.

"But ek baat batao, tumhe meri kalai ka size kese mila? Because these fit perfectly?" I ask him.

"Arey....... itni si to kalai he, aur date pe mene tumhara haath pakda tha, bhul gyi, to assumption se banwa liye tumhare liye!" He tells me.

The doorbell rings again, I open the door and my friends are here.

"Tum jao, late mt karo, tumhari dost aa gyi?" He asks.

"Aa to gyi, but mujhe abhi tumse aur baat karni he..." I say.

"Koi na, raat'ch kar lenge." He says in his punjabi accent.

"Ohk! Bye!" I say and hang up.

Idk how but these go perfectly with my dress.

We get in the car and as soon as I  take the wheel, Mahi says.

"Ana! What are these, these are so pretty!"

"Arey....Shubman ka gift he, Valentine's day ka."

"Par usey tera size kese pta?" Adhira asks me.

"Uska kehna he ki assumption lagaya."

"Huh? Itna accurate! Wah! Aur ye diamond ke he?" Mahi asks.

"Haan yaar, I was also shocked par usne mujhe kasam de di ki rakhna hi padega so I had to keep!" I tell them.

"Wow, tera wala to bhot romantic he!" Addy said.

"What do you mean, mera wala huh? We are not even dating!"

"Arey bohot jaldi, you will aur fir kisses aur fir......sex aur fir shaadi aur fir bohot saara sex aur fir bacche-...."

I  abruptly stop the car at one side and cut her off. "Oh my god Mahi shant ho ja, bojot pitegi! I say to her.

"Arey sahi hi to keh rhi h, dekh kangan bhi pehen liye tune, rokka to ho hi gya he." Addy says.

"Yaar please, don't torture me!! Aur wese bhi mene aaj tk Shubman ke baare me itna sexually kabhi nhi socha he!" I tell them.

"Koi baat nhi, sochna nhi h, sirf karna he!" They tell me.

Now I have this image in my brain about Shubman being a man and having a.....*coughs*

I mean of course I knew about that but now that it's prominient, it's weird.

But why am I getting worried about all this when we are not even dating.

"Accha ye bta jab tu masturbate karti h, toh tere dimaag me kiska chehra aata he?" They ask me.

"Kisi ka bhi nhi, me bas orgasm pe focus karti hu!"

"Arey ye nayi khiladi he, she does not push in or something, ye to bss massage wala orgasm leti he." Mahi tells addy.

"Haan! Leti hu toh, aur mujhe fingers se kuchh nhi hota, ok?"

"Haan teri fingers lambi he par not that long......Shubman ki toh hongi na lambi fingers.....?" Addy say and high five Mahi.

"Fuck off, fuck off you both, kyu mere dimaag me image daal rhe ho tum log? Yaar ab mujhe agar Shubman ka koi wet dream aaya, toh you are to blame!" I say and try to get these thoughts out of my mind.

We go to our regular restaurant and eat a lot, then we sit in the car and keep talking till it's late and time to go home.

I drop both of them home and get home myself.

I call Shubman and we start talking.

All I can think about is his dick and I don't want to.

We hang up and It's almost dinner time so I go and help my aunt in setting the table.

Third pov:

Valentine's never really mattered for Shubman.

During his past relations, he bought flowers and chocolates for his girlfriends out of obligation but this time he wanted to do it by himself, not because of some concious thing.

And he did not want to give Aashna just chocolates and flowers, he wanted to give her something special and expensive.

When he had gone shopping with his sister, he had spotted those bangles and inspired his designer to make similar ones out of gold and diamond.

She deserved the best.

Shubman's heart almost melted when she had texted that she really wants nothing today.

But Shubman knew better, she may want something but when she knew that Shubman had got nothing for her so she just told him not to worry.

She was the best.

How can she even think that Shubman had planned nothing for her?

Maybe because she didn't really know how Shubman feels for her.

Oh God, thought Shubman, only if she knew.....

Shubman was planning on telling her soon. But first they needed to date, to be in a relationship, a position where Shubman can freely express his feelings to her.

So Shubman was gonna see her soon, very soon, just in about 2 or 3 months.

But she doesn't know, it's a surprise.

But did Shubman remember what happened the last time he surprised someone? He found out he had got cheated on.

Shubman didn't think it will happen now.

He had a different belief in Aashna.

The belief that cannot be broken.
