Shubman slipped an arm around Aditi's waist, she swatted his arm away and attempted to keep her attention glued to the TV screen. He once again, unsuccessfully, tried to pull her closer to him.

"Am I you're boyfriend or is that camera?" Shubman muttered under his breath, Aditi bit her lip to contain her laughter. Shubman's hand reflexively went to his pocket, thankfully, Aditi didn't notice. A small box was inside his jacket pocket.

(What is he going to do? Doesn't take a genius to figure it out... ~ Ria)

"You know, I always thought Aditi Roy was a bit of a boring name." Shubman tried to get the conversation going, Aditi finally looked up from her work.

"Really?" She retorted sarcastically.

"Besides, I have a birthday gift for you." Shubman turned around to face her, he snatched the camera away.

"Give it back, that literally has three months of work on it." Aditi huffed and reached out for it, Shubman leaned away from her. Falling on his back, dragging Aditi with him. He brushed past a strand of her hair and smiled.

"You're beautiful." He murmured, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Shut up." She stood up, "What's that birthday present of yours?"

She raised an eyebrow, her eyes glinting with curiosity.

"Well, like I said. I found you're last name a bit drab." Shubman smirked, his fingers slipped into his pocket and curled around the blue box. Aditi's brown eyes were blanketed with confusion.

"So, I decided to change it." He got down on one knee, making her gasp. "Aditi Gill, has a better ring to it don't you think?"

"Will you marry me?" Shubman smiled lovingly at Aditi, Aditi's eyes were prickling with tears. Shubman might have looked like he was at ease, but he was anything but, he was having a heart attack on the inside.

"Yes." She whispered, Shubman's self-doubt vanished because of the one word. He took her hand in his and slipped the ring on it. He stood back up, keeping a firm hold on Aditi's hand. He pulled her toward him, for another small surprise.

He recalled how much it had hurt. He revealed the small tattoo he'd gotten, tears brimmed Aditi's eyes. On his bicep, he had Aditi's name tattooed on.

"You idiot!" She choked out, her voice heavy with emotion. He smiled, all of a sudden the pain he endured seem worth it. She threw her hands around him, he responded by pulling her into a kiss.

"Did she say yes?" A voice hissed from nearby, Shubman didn't heed it.

"Dude, shut it!" Another responded. "He's going to find us."

But this time, he'd heard the response clearly.

"Ada pavingla, he found out that we're here because of you talking only." Washington Sundar sighed.

"I'll be right back, my fiancee," Shubman murmured into Aditi's ear before making his way to the apartment door. He opened the door and the ICT came tumbling onto the floor.

"Uh..." Rishabh Pant rubbed the back of his neck, DK was grinning.

"Try not to make out in elevators now..." DK chuckled, and Shubman ignored it.

"So... did she say yes?" Virat casually asked, Shubman turned to Washi. Washi was the only person who knew that he was going to propose today.

"The whole team chased me around till I told them." Washi shrugged, Aditi appeared behind Shubman.

"What happened?" She slipped her hand in with his, Manish, being the smart guy, looked at her hand and noted the ring.

"We have a brand new bhabi!" Ishan cheered with a wide grin, Aditi raised an eyebrow.

"Out," Shubman grunted, and they didn't budge, they were too busy celebrating.

"Phew, I thought she might reject him."

"Dude, they're head over heels for each other! Of course, she wouldn't reject him!"

Aditi grabbed her camera and took a picture.

"AHHH! PRESS! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES." Hardik heard the flash and bolted. The ICT swarming toward the exit of the apartments. Aditi closed the door, and Shubman backed her up against it.

"Smart." Shubman nodded with approval, Aditi rolled her eyes.

"I am the brains in the relationship after all," There was a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

"Now, where were we?" He smirked and wrapped an arm around her waist. Aditi's hands snaked around his neck.

"Let's take DK's advice." Shubman closed the door and backed Aditi against it.

"I love you, Shubman Gill."

"I love you too, Mrs.Gill."
