PUN INTENDED GUYS.

HAHA.

SOURCE REFERENCE – THE MAGICAL WORLD HARRY POTTER AGAIN , OFFCOURSE.AS IN YOU KNOW HOW LIKE IN THE MAGICAL WORLD OFF HARRY POTTER – THERES A MINISRTY OFF MAGIC – AND THE PRISON OF AZKABAN – REMEMBER GUYS?????

HAHA.

SO THAT'S HOW I INVENTED THAT – MINISTRIES OF PASSION AND DESIRES bit – and called Ourselves the THE MOST CRAZIEST, INSANEST AND ADDICTED, DRUGGED,MADDER 0R WAIT MAKE THAT MADDEST - PRISONERS OFF SENSUAL& SINFUL PASSION AND DESIRE – INDEED.

HAHA.

I JUST HAD TO SAY THAT AGAIN.

AND OH GUYS.

IM SURE YOU ARE ALL INTERESTED TO KNOW WHEN DID MY CRAZY HEAD COME UP WITH THAT ANALOGY – WELL THEN I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO MY HEAD TO SAY THAT IT CAME UP WITH IT PRETTY QUICK – RIGHT ON THE THIRD DAY OFF OUR HOLIDAY – when Hoodie guy and Me had spent all Day Making Love to Each other, in Crazy Love- Making Marathon Sessions that were Only getting Intenser and Sensual by the minute.And Please note – that this was after we had Ravished each other Insanely the previous day and Night too!!

HAHA!

AND – guys – the minute I had made the above mentioned Analogy to My Hoodie Guy on that third day off our Holiday, or to be more precise – it was night actually – after we Finished Our Dinner and were Snuggling into one Another – lost into Each others Eyes, and Caressing Each other Gently,on the Seating over the Net over the Lagoon right next to the sunken Seating at the edge of the Paradise Mansion – I was immediately kissed Hard and Deep – as he Stated in his Husky Sensual tones into my Lips – godaamit you Sunshine, my adorable precious Sunshine, haven't ravished you in an Hour – looks like its Time to Have You For Dessert Again – all Night – and well then, I was immediately whisked up into his Loving Arms – Carried Straight into the Room – and Our Crazy Heated Love Making Sessions for the Night Began!!

AHEMMMMM.

Guys.

Know what????

We Literally Did not Step out of Our Villa at all – for like One Wholeeee WEEKKKKKK LITERALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Haha.

Like for Real – we would Make Insane Heated, Intense, Sensual Love to Each other all day, all night – and in between we would eat(special thanks to the room service, service off the resort for their excellent service...haha), sleep entangled into each other bare, and offcourse talk to each other during meals when we were awake,because well – immediately after meals, we would just get lost into each other again as we would snuggle into one another to just relax and well he would immediately kiss me after a couple of minutes and then – we would immediately Return to Making Love , and exploring each other, and experience Our Sesnsually Carnage Love Making Together – in sinfully passionate and deep ways.

For yes after four days and nights off letting Hoodie guy Have His Intense ways with Me – the student in me Reminded My Hoodie Guy that I was ready to Learn more and he had to keep his part off the deal – and well then..i was immediately ravished Hard and Bad – before Hoodie Guy finally got around to Being My excellent Teacher Again, and I returned to being his enthusiastic, brilliant Student Again – as he Introduced me to the Rest of The Sensual Carnage Syllabus of Passion and Desire – that I wanted to Learn HAHA!

And well I can admit this one Fact – that By Now – I am pretty Confident about my Ways around My Hoodies Guys body – just like He is with Mine!! I have learnt very well how too Drive Him Insaneeee tooooo – just like He Drivessss me Insane!!

AND

INFACT BOTH OFF US KNOW HOW TO DRIVE THE OTHER UP THE FREAKING WALL, AND WE ABSOLFREAKINGLUTELY LOVE THE FACT THAT WE CAN MAKE EACH OTHER FEEL ALL CRAZY KINDS OFF THE PASSIONATE INSANITY – ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

HA.HA.

Only Fairrrr Ya Guys – we are Like Always Crazily Parallel on every Damm Aspect off Being Into One Another!

Haha.

So.

Anyways so yes guys – so after a week off our Holiday was Over – we decided that – lets step out for an hour or so – during lunch or in the evenings etc – and cycle to the island beach, enjoy the ambience there – and, everytime I would get ready in one off those skater dresses that Hoodie guy had picked out for me for the holiday as we would be ready to step out (and know this guys whenever we were all the time in the Villa alone for the first one week – I'd only be wearing the numerous types of Bikni's he had gifted me, there were a total off 20 off them in different styles and colours and well I would just wear that all the time too drive him nuts and tease him Insane, and well they'd be all stripped off me in no time anyway ) – Haha!! So anyway yes, like I was saying – the in the days after when we decided to step out for an hour or so – it was like minute I would get ready in The Skater Dresses/beach dresses he'd picked out for me when we were stepping out, our plans would get delayed for a bit – because one look at me and Arnav would always be like – Godaamit ,just look at You...I Need to Kiss you Hard first, and well - we'd get so lost in our Heated Kissing Duel and I wouldn't even know when his Hands had Stripped me Off Bare right there in the Dresser area, or the bath , or the living space of the villa - amongst all that Hard and Urgent Caresses, and the next thing I would know was – that we'd be Making Crazy Intense Love Again!

YEAHHH.

And once ,Hoodie guy and Me would actually get around to stepping out, for an Hour or so – to chill by the Beach, Cycling to the Island Reserve , or to See the Stars at the Obeservatory – or to watch some bit off the Harry Potter movies in the open air Cinemas(and to be honest we actually ended up watching all the rest off the movies in bits and breaks snuggled into our master room bed or the Tv lounge in the villa, bare into one another as per our convenience , because we could pause to make love as much as we want right?) – so anyway what I mean to say is that any of our expeditions out of our Water Paradise Mansion – wouldn't last out more than 90 minutes Ever – because by then Arnav would be like – Sunshine...even if im not Making Love to you..i just need to Keep Touching you...feeling you...caressing you all over...or atleast keep kissing you...which I most definetly can't indulge in the hard and intense ways I want too when we are out, so if its ok for you, Can we Please Go back to Our Villa now - and well to be honest guys – by the end off those 90 minutes usually mostly, id be dying to kiss him and feel his hands on me too, or just snuggle into his Side all bare – that I would also be like – Yes, Hoodie Guy – lets go back to the Villa – and well – it shouldn't be a surprise to you all when I say this – that on those minutes back to the Villa – its would be like I could feel Arnavs eyes all over me in sensual deep intense gazes , and the minute we would Step into the Villa – and lock the doors to ourselves – we'd end up Making Love – almost Immediately!

Like Literally Immediately!!

Yes Guys.

Blush blush.

We LITERALLY Actually Made Love many times by just Me being Shoved against the locked entrance door to our Villa!

Ok .

To be honest.

Blushing a Zillion times over a I am admitting this – but during our entire Holiday, Arnav and Me , made love in literally every nook and corner of the Enchanted Paradise Mansion indeed – yes...yes..every nook and corner – the shower(twice a day for sure in there), the different guest rooms, the living area, the gym, the TV Lounge,in the Lagoon area in our open master bath area (a ziilion times over here maybe), our bed, the pool, and even the carpeted floor off our Dresser area, infact we even ended up making love to each other in the huge kitchen , in the little dining seating there, once after we finished eating our Maggi and Coffee meal at 3am in the night on one off the nights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I had obviously carried some Maggi packets with me in my luggage – its Our Thing Guys)

Yeah.

INSANER US DAMMIT.

ANYWAYS.

SO.

Now you know why I stated that Crazy Prisoners listing – by the Ministries of Desire and Passion - Analogy!

Haha!

Because well once we made love, we discovered – that we can literally Never Make Love enough – you know just Like How we can Never Kiss Enough!!!!!!!!!

And its This CRazy for US because – we both are equally Addicted to the Need off Feeling the other – close into ourselves as close as Humanly possible – in all the freaking ways Possible!!!

Our Intense Love Making is like all Insane and Electric and Freaking Dangerous to the Level off PARADISE SQUARE ROOTED TO Infinity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT COMBUSTUS US.

IT CONSUMES US.

AND I CAN NEVER HAVE HIM MAKE LOVE TO ME - ENOUGH.

AND I CAN NEVER MAKE LOVE TO HIM – ENOUGH.

PERIOD.

And guys know this – on our Last night at the Holiday – like when we were supposed to Head back and Get Connected back to the Real World – it was like both Hoodie guy and me were so emotional – because -well offcourse, we both knew that it was Going to Return to being a part Long Distance Marriage for Us soon, because he was going to return to the Games and Pitches and the Travelling, living in the Hotels in between – that we Literally Didn't Sleep a Wink That Night at All – loving each other Intensely all the Freaking Night with No Sleep Whatsoever!

YUP.

Oh Man.

So basically even though I have tried to give you all a brief Glimpse, its like I cant even begin to express – how Intense, Passionate and Sinfully Sensual, Our Entire 11 day Holiday Was!!

And – Our Sensual Holiday was just like the Start off Our Intense Journey into Physical Love Making Indeed!

For we Have Only Become More Intenser, Addicted, Madder, Crazier – for each other Ever Since – indeed – and its been so so so deeply, soulful and exquisite each time we make love anyway – that literally no words even in my crazy dictionary will ever be enough to explain the emotions we feel attached to Our Physical Sensual Electric – Carnage Love Making!

So.

Yes.

Guys on the 11th of January, we returned Home from the Holiday(and my Hoodie Guy had us fly back in the same private jet again and yes, we did indulge in a Massive Kissing Marathon on the Flight Back too ) – and then yes, we were swamped by the Media at the arrivals terminals in Delhi through which we walked through again hand in hand in silence, giving polite smiles to everyone – and Ravi and Anjali came to receive us at the airport then – and then we all made our way Home – where we were warmly and lovingly welcomed by Mom, Dad and Dadi – and what followed on the day after our arrival home was a full on family reunion amongst us all – and then even a virtual family reunion time with everyone back in Cape Town – and well by the night – when Hoodie guy and me finally retired to Our Room – things got Insanely Intenser as the Heat level in between us Notched up a Zillion times UP(which we didn't think was Possible, but well yes that was what it was )– as we finally got around to having our Privacy – for It had been Hours since we hadn't even Kissed – because we were with everyone!!

Haha.

And know this guys – in that moment off time after we Ravished each other Crazily over and over again till about 3am in the morning – we both Snuggled into each other bare and came to a common realisation at the same time, the realisation being that the Long Distance aspect in our Marriage was going to work as a Intense Catalyst off Heightening our love and emotions as always and that this time around – it would also be a Crazy Catalyst to all Physical Love Making Too – because we discussed and anticipated the fact that the time when we would meet next after being apart from each other – was only going to Lead to Things being More deep and Intense in between of us on those regards too!

SO BASICALLY IT WAS LIKE Arnav and Me Came to a Conclusion in our Discussion then, that – LONG DISTANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS FUEL TO THE FIRE IN OUR LOVE AND EMOTIONS – BEFORE – AND NOW IT WAS GOING TO CONTINUE BEING ALL OF THAT EMOTIONALLY ON A ZILLION DEEPER TANGENTS AS USUAL BUT TO ADD TO THAT – IT WAS ALSO GOING TO ACT LIKE LITRES OF GASOLINE INTO THE FIRE – IN TERMS OFF OUR PHYSICAL DESIRES FOR ONE ANOTHER TOO.

INSANER US DAMMIT.

INSANER US!!

ADDICTED US DAMMIT.

ADDICTED US!!

INTOXICATED US DAMMIT.

INTOXICATED US!!

And well – that is exactly what it has been indeed Guys, for everytime, Arnav and Me have met after being apart – its been like SUPERMAGICALLY INTENSE AND HEATED AND EMOTIONALLY DEEP IN BETWEEN OF US.

So then,the next day on,which was the 12th My dearest Husband resumed his Pitch Duties and Intense Training with the Team as he shifted to the Hotel the next day on the 13th to stay along with the entire team, as the Men in Blue prepped up for NEW ZEALAND touring India in over a month Long tour starting the 15th of January(the first match was in delhi) until the 16th of Feburary – for a series of 5 test Matches, 5 ODI's and 5 t20's!

And on that Note – as My Hoodie Guy returned to His pitch Duties – yours truly goofy crazy Khushi has started to go to the Office with Dad to officially start learning from him the things he wanted me too Learn and assisting him in the areas of financial investments and wealth and portfolio management and side by side also began our ground work for the first – Hit Wicket Your Tongue Cricket themed Cafe – in this amazing Space in Guragon that My Dearest Husband – had shortlisted, and seen from Before Hand! And it was so so so amazing – the space ,that I fell in love with it – the minute I saw it with my Hoodie guy – he took me there to see it – before his shift into the Hotel on 13th afternoon – and I was all amazed and excited by the location he had chosen and I was all like – Yayy my hoodie guy – this space is going to be Amazing for the first ever outlet off Hit Wicket Your Tongue in Delhi – indeed – and my excitement made Arnav very very happy offcourse!! And offcourse guys – on that Note – Rahul, me and Arnav have obviously sorted out the optimum financial model with regards to what I had in my mind for the same, since its very important for me – as I have invested all of my savings and major chunk off earnings up through all my jobs into this , and I have also diluted my equity in HW Cape Town to just 2.5, and as Hoodie guy is like my Angel Investor/partner into this – and I want to take this step by step. Slowly and steadily – which I have been – and right now its Like I have set up a Team off Four other brilliant executives along side me – and we are going to be the Core Team – that is going to take Care of the entire initial Set ups – Interiors etc (we are replicating the entire design off what it is back in Cape Town too) and Everything is going brilliant on those fronts – as per plan and I think we should be good to open in Two Months From Now!!!

Like Yipppeeeeee!!

So guys basically the main point is its like – both Hoodie guy and Me have also been Consumed with a lot of work ever since the 12th of January since he has Returned to the Bats, Balls and Pitches and I dipped my Head into Work full time too as I, alternate in between going to Office with Dad and Overseeing the Work in Progress at Hit Wicket Your tongue – and also continuing to Help Asher and Zain with their financial investments – side by Side!!

AND OH YES.

GUYS – OFFCOURSEEEEE – ALONGSIDE ALL OF THE ABOVE – I HAVE ALSO BEEN GOING TO SEE MY HOODIE GUY PLAY LIVE – IN AS MANY MATCHES I CAN – LIKE I GO FOR ALL THE MATCHES THAT HAPPEN IN DELHI OFFCOURSE WITHOUT FAIL – AT THE FIROZ SHAH KOTLA AND THEN IF MY HOODIE GUY MATCHES ARE SCHEDULED NEAR WEEKENDS ETC IN DIFFERENT CITIES – ME AND ANJALI TRAVEL THERE TO THE RESPECTIVE CITIES TO SEE HIM PLAY LIVEEE, SACHI MAAM ALSO JOINS AS AS MUCH AS SHE CAN(and we obviously stay at the Same Hotel as the Team ) - SINCE DURING THE WEEKDAYS OTHERWISE – THERES TOO MUCH WORK AT THIS END THAT ME AND ANJALI HAVE TO TAKE CARE OFF TOO IN OUR RESPECTIVE LINES!!( I OBVIOUSLY WATCH ALLTHE MATCHES ON SCREEN ANYWAY – THE MATCHES THAT I AM UNABLE TO SEE LIVE)

AND GUYS KNOW THIS - ME BEING IN THE STADIUM, IN THE PAVILLION – DRIVES MY HOODIE GUY NUTS IN EMOTIONS – INDEED – HE FREAKING LOVESSS IT TO THE COREEEE – LIKE HE LITERALLY WONT STOP GRINNING THROUGH OUT THE MATCH – AND YES OFFCOURSE TO ADD TO THAT – HE HAS BEEN PERFORMING BRILLAINTLY – LIKE IN THE TEST SERIES – HIS SCORES WERE AMAZING (the first test was at the Firoz Shah kotla and then the venues changed after )– INDIA AND NZ TIED IN THE TEST SERIES – AND THEN IN THE 5 ODI'S – MY HOODIE GUY LITERALLY SCORED CENTURY'S IN 4 ODI'S GUYSSSS!!! (COINCIDENTALLY – I WAS THERE IN THE PAVILLION WATCHING HIM PLAY ON THREE OF THOSE OCCASIONS, as one off the ODi's was in Delhi, and one in Jaipur – which was just a 5 hour drive so I travelled for the match and returned next morning immediately and the third one I attended was in Mohali over one of the weekends ) – WHEN INDIA WON THE MATCHES AND CLINCHED THE ODI SERIES – AND THEN FOR THE T20 SERIES – IT WAS AGAIN A TIE IN BETWEEN NZ AND INDIA AS INDIA WON 2 MATCHES – AND NZ WON 2 – AND THE LAST MATCH WAS A WASH OUT DUE TO RAIN.(I had travelled to Bombay with Anjali and Sachi Maam and Baby Zara, for the last t20 Match , since I had missed watching the other 4 t20's for they were scheduled right in the middle of the weekdays – in Dharamshala, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore – but well that final t20 match turned out to be a Wash out) – and with that the amazing month long NZ tour off India came to an end by the 15th of Feburary!

And well im sure by now you all know off this fact anyway but I shall mention it again for context – Hoodie Guy and Me are still obviously crazily texting/calling/videocalling each other as much as we can – whenever he has been travelling Out off Delhi and we are away from each other – and we obviously meet when I travel to the Cities to see him play live – and well here's where all that Fire that gets built up in between off us due to distance –– finally Rages Bad and Combusts us and Consumes US, when we get together on those couple of nights in between – haha!!

And yes – I have to tell you all this – its like Hoodie guy and Me – have come up with a Plan to Manage the Situation amongst us when He is in Delhi for Tours and Scheduled Matches too.So its like uptil now even when on pitch duty In Delhi its always been that on majority occasions – Hoodie guy has stayed with the Team in the Hotel – because off the team culture and spirit – and only on rare occasions he would come Home – for some nights – and now Its like – he is going to The Future Captain – so its like I understand, that henceforth – whenever he is on duty in a tour and in Delhi too due to Schedule of matches – I know its kind off more like His Responsibility to Stay in the Hotel with the Unit. So then we came to a mid way solution that He Stays in the Hotel with the Team always , however on alternate days of when he is in Delhi – I stay with him at the Hotel(so that it doesn't become a issue with the teams discipline too as in – on the days I am too stay at the Hotel with him – I go there after work – and by that time – theyv also finished training and other important stuff – and then offcourse sometimes I just go to the Hotel after a match in Delhi is over in the evening or Night so that we can have Some Time together – before he is off to Travel to a different city again)

So yeah – that Gives You all a Glimpse off How We have been Managing it – and Plan to Manage it too hence forth going Forward when My hoodie guy is playing in India – and when he is on Tour Abroad – Its like we'v just thought off going with the flow in Situation then in time as and when that Happens – I mean I do want to visit him for a couple of days in between his long tours wherever he is - as allowed by the BCCI guidelines off course.

So Yes.

Well after the NZ tour – We all , as in Anjali, me , Sachi maam, Baby Zara, and Hoodie guy, along with the rest of the men in Blue, and the SupportTeam- flew back to Delhi together for everyone Had a Weeks Break in Between- and all the players took some off in between to travel to their home cities as well.

And yes – finally My Hoodie guy came Home, along with Anjali and Me on the 16th of February (And you can only imagine the massive fire that Lit up in between of us on that Night too..since it was two years to the day of us meeting ..haha...but yes we did not let our crazy love making sessions go beyond 2:30 am that night) – for we all had to Wake Up Early the next day – for a combined Pooja was held at home – in the remembrance off Mom, Dad, Krish, and Arnav's Dadaji – since 17th feb was their death anniversary Date – and well I was emotional again offcourse quite a bit on that day – but a lot lot better than I had been on the last years and everyone – as in Mom, Dad, Anjali,Ravi, Dadi , along with my Hoodie guy – were there by me emotionally, standing strong like my walls besides me – just like everyone back in Cape Town was – virtually!

And after the 17th off Feb – guys Arnav and Me finally went to Office together for the first time too for he had that little break until the 23rd and we obviously got to working together in that bit – not just on matters related to office work alongside Dad - but also Hit Wicket your Tongue – as we discussed the Financial plannings further and the utilisation of resources uptil now – how the designs all coming up etc etc – and Guys in all these days we figured out – that we Make a really good Team work wise as well – because off the way we have nurtured the respect level amongst ourselves for each others individualities and opnions and our joint efforts off always coming to a win win situation all the time – so things are going Pretty Smooth for us on that Aspect as well – infact only makes Hoodie guy and Me respect and love each other more as we now are getting intermingled into the reality off OUR LIFE as ONE in everyway!

And oh yes – for the first time in a long long time – Hoodie guy was Home on his Bday as well and was not Playing!!!! And as you all know it was his 30 th BDAY and was also the Same Day – as he Officialy has Taken Over Captaincy and the morning off his 30th bday – he was at the BCCI for the formalities on the same and in the evening – we had this informal Get together off everyone from the Team, Support team, Coaches, etc – at HOME – Celebrating MY dearest Husbands Bday and Formal Captaincy Takeover and oh my god guys – Cap got like so excited as he raised a toast to Hoodie guy being all like – you are my brother ASR, and like I always told you, I would love to play under you as my Captain one day too – and now I am glad that the day is here my Cap – and my hoodie guy obviously got emotional and he was all like to everyone in the team and Cap – that he doesn't want to be addressed as Cap ever – for even though he is technically Captain now – Cap is a term he wants everyone to affectionately keep using for Cap – D and not Him ever and that he was very happy with being called ASR – always!! And like you all know the Men in Blue is Tight knit close unit – and its always amazing to see the Boys Bond that way amongst themselvesss!!!!

And well – MY Hoodie GUY left Home Yesterday Morning – which was the morning off 23rd Feburary – for His Pitch Duties as Sri Lanka is touring India for two weeks for 3 ODI's and 3T20's Bilateral Series!!

And ahhhh yes – very important – guys – offcourse i , videocall with everyone back in Cape Town – almost everyday toooooo – Rahul , Diya, Uncle, Aunty, Zain, Zara and Asher !!(Zain and Asher and me usually get on a video call together every other day for work related matters too as we discuss the financial investments etc)

And now that I mentioned Asher – its like I have to tell you guys that Manizeh and Him have been getting quite into texting and chatting like all the timeeeee!! Haha!! They are really Into Each otherrrrr for Real these two – its amazinggg and I mean its not official in between of them yet – but its all cooking up in there surely really really fast– for I have info from both the sides no – for Manizeh and me have only become more close too in all this while – and well Ashers smiles just give him away everytime I talk to him about Manizeh on the video call – haha...and Hoodie guy and Me are obviously loving the bit we are doing as playing Cupids – and on that note I shall let you all in a little secret right now its like - Manizeh has no clue that Asher is currently enroute to Give her a Surprise Visit – Todayyyyy!!!

Haha.

Yessssssssss!

And why today?

So before I get to Revealing you all about that – let me also throw light on MY hoodie guys personal equation with Asher, Zain, and Rahul – its like these guys are becoming really a close knit group along with Ravi too and Hoodie Guy's personal equations with each of them is also like really close and smooth and oh infact know this guys – Ravi, Cap, Arnav, Asher, Zain, Rahul – the six of them – also have a Group on Whtsapp amongst themselves!!!!

So guys – now you must be wondering how is it that we Led Arnav to think otherwise??

WE WERE ON TEXT CHAT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES IN BETWEEN 115PM TO 130PM – WHILST EVERYONE WAS FINISHING UP WITH A EARLY LUNCH AND THEN AROUND 130 – HOODIE GUY WAS ALL LIKE – ILL TEXT YOU AS I GET ON THE TEAM BUS SUNSHINE WHICH SHOULD BE BY 2pm – NEED TO GET ALL SET NOW!

I quickly open my eyes on reflex and I Catch Anjali, catching on her Nap next to me, Mom and Dadi are also Napping, and Dad is busy on his Emails and Calls as he is working all along – and actually until 1pm in the car journey – I was all occupied in emails and work too!

I see the time – Its 2pm.

Hoodie guy should be getting on the Team Bus now – since the Journey from the Hotel to the Stadium is like 30 minutes!! And they all have to be in the Stadium by 230 to get all adjusted and stuff – as Toss beings at 3p.m!

And Google Maps tell me that we shall be there by 245pm at the Stadium too!!

And just as I am typing out a text to My Hoodie guy.

I grin as I read the message.

Him : hey you wifey...just got on the team bus love...need to talk to you for a bit before we reach the stadium, are you on the lunch break now?

(it moves me a lot emotionally to know and feels Dad's trust and faith in my professional abilities this way – and we are all obviously all prepared well as in I finished all my work last night by working late into the night until 3am actually because I knew I am not going to get the time tonight right – since I am going to be with my Hoodie guy today – and obviously work is going to be the last thing on my mind then..haha...wink wink..)

Just you wait and SEE!!!!

We are reaching the Stadium in 15 - 20 minutes Too – Hoodie GUY!!

The look on Your Faceeee when you see US all In the Standsssss!!

Right then I see Anjali waking up next to me from her nap and I pluck out my earphones now and I smile at her as she asks with a yawn – " khushi...are we late or what????"

I grin – " no no anj..dont worry...we should be there in 15 – 20 minutes...the teams already at the stadium though..."

Anjali grins as she sips on some water and once she is done she turns to look at me and she narrows her eyes at me as she says – " khushi...that smile on your face tells me that you were chatting with bhai a while ago...tell me you had your digenes na? I hope you didn't give away the surprise..."

I chuckle as I admit , showing her my Digenes – " ya ya...anjali...don't worry about it at all...I didn't give it away at all...and thank you for not telling Ravi too for if he knows ...hoodie guy will know.."

She winks back at me – " ofcourse ya khushi...how can I tell Ravi...I knew first thing out bhai will hear it..."

I chuckle – " so then its Ravi too who is in for a surprise no..."

Anjali nods.

Mom and Dadi stir up from their seat in the middle seat and mom says now – " well and I am so excited about this...my girls..."

Dadi grins – " I know, im sure Arnav's grandfather is gleeing in heaven today..i told you all it was his dream to see Arun as captain one day...and today we are going to see Arnav...for his first match as captain...I think I will cry in happinees.."

Dad grins from the front seat tucking his phone away – " ok then my dearest family, that's it..im don't with all the work for the day...and now all set to focus on going crazy watching my Son play his first game as Captain today...but we most definetly have to leave by 8am in the morning everyone so that we can reach office in time..."

We all nod and agree with Dad in unison.

Dad turns to look at us all as he says – " ravina...you better use the washroom well before the game starts because else we all know you wont get up until the time Arnav finishes batting you know just incase they bat first.."

Mom chuckles and grins – " yes yes Raizada...don't worry...about me...you worry about not loosing your voice screaming and hooting at your son's massive uppercuts..you have to address the board meeting tomorrow..."

We all chuckle.

Mom and dad god they are so adorableeeeee!

Anjali rolls her eyes as she says grinning – " ok you guys...lets hope bhai wins the toss and ...I hope they bat first ya..."

Dadi winks – " yes me too..for im going to stadium after years...so so long...I really want to see Arnav bat first too...or else how will I be able to sit atiently for the first three hours..."

We all chuckle and I grin at everyone and I say looking into my phone – " ok then everyone...google tells me we all reach the stadium in five...and guess what Asher messaged me too...he will be reaching by 315ish too..."

Mom grins as she turns to ask me – " manizeh knows??"

I wink – " not yet mom...not yet...soon she will know..."

Anjali winks – " she will get the shock off her life...for asher told her that hes flying to London..when instead he was flying here..."

Mom grins – " really??"

Anjali and me Nod – and we fill her in over it.

And minutes later – we all reach the Stadium – and Verma uncle pulls the car to the halt and Dad says – " ok time to message Coach Das about our arrival...cmon everyone – Caps on..."

We all chuckle and we all put on our Blue caps – and guys oh guess what – each off us is in the Indian Jersey and denims – Dad, Mom, Anjali and Me and Dadi was all like I shall have my Cap ON!!

..............................

SAWAI MANSINGH STADIUM – 255PM

Arnav's POV

I KISS ON KRISH'S TOSS COIN AS I PUT IT IN MY POCKET.

ITS BEEN BY LUCKY TOSS COIN GUYS.

AND TODAY IS MY FIRST GAME AS OFFICIAL CAPTAIN.

I AM OBVIOUSLY GOING TO HAVE IT IN MY POCKET AT TOSS TIMEEEEEE!!

I have a couple of minutes to myself as I see the Boys all chilling, chatting and relaxing in the dressing room as Coach and Me just finished talking and I was obviously overhwhelmed that Cap was on the other side listening to me leading on strategies discussions with Coach sir and the Team – and by the end of it – I told Cap – Cap – you gotta guide me on this please ok? And he hugged me warmly and he was all like – offcourse ASR, I will be right there behind the stumps when we are fielding !!

And also after the meeting – Cap called me his Skipper – which made me emotional and guys I had asked everyone to just continue calling me ASR but today Cap was all like – ASR you want everyone to continue calling me Cap – fair enough I respect the emotion – but then we are going to call you our Skipper surelyyy – now please you gotta agree to that!

I had agreed to that then guys – for coming from Cap – it was like a big big deal for me for it reflects the Respect and faith he has in me and my game – apart from our personal equation off field!!!

And guys – I am obviously going to look up to discussing on field decisions and strategies with Cap – when we were fielding offcourseee – Iv still got so much to learn from him – in the months he's there playing for us until May end!!

Ok guys. To be Honest.

Getting a little Tad bit Anxious now.

As in – you know theres still Flip in My Stomach.

First Game – as official Captain.

And I am also the Opening Batsmen.

I smile to myself as I caress Krish's toss coin lovingly and I lean back against my locker and I close my eyes and I think off my Family and my talks with mom, dad, dadi, Anjali and My precious adorable Innocent Wifeeeee – all day uptil today and My Heart Glowsss with LOveeee!

And ofcourse that last chat with My Sunshine as we reached the Stadium!!

My Sunshine!!

Goddamit – My Woman.

My Wife.

My Peaceful Prayer.

And just like that as our last text chat with her comes to my mind ,I feel all my anxiousness vanish as her Smiling Face comes to revolve around my eyes – as the blissfulness that my heart has been living in – finally magically washes over the anxiousness.

I can never thank god enough for all this Bliss and Peace in my Personal Spaceee – ever!!!

I am indebted to Him – forever.

And I smile on reflex as I recall as to how bummed each of them was – at their unability of being here with me – physically Today!

Offcourse I had assured them that I obviously understood that they all had respective commitments to work since it was Midweek – because I obviously understand – and guys they are always with me Anywayyyyy!!

I know – in their Prayers/ Blessings – I am on their Mind right now – for Sure as they all must be individually glued to their respective phone screens.

Haha!

I pick out my favourite Bat – which I call the Elder wand since it has my SUnshines handwritten code on it and I kiss on it on reflex – exactly the bat I want to play this game with Today – and to be honest guys -I hope we win the toss and then we have planned to opt to bat since obviously when we arrived on the Ground – we studied the pitch and it looks uber smooth and good – the balls is going to come on the bat all nice today for sure – it's a amazing day even though its end feb – not very cold – its just right about Sunny!

And to be Honest Guys.

In My Gut – im starting to Feel Really Good about This.

Its going to Be a Good Game anyway.

And right then Coach sir comes up into the dressing room and he gestures along with Cap to me to come out and I walk out to them and ask the Boys to join is for obviously its going to be National Anthems first before we get around to toss and Coach sir says pats my shoulder as he smiles – " ready skipper? in case we win the toss...we bat up.."

I nod at him and I give him a thumbs up and I immediately hug Cap as I say to him – " Cap...its overwhelming for me really to step onto field today as official Captain...I know I have your blessings...but I needed to hug you right now..."

Cap hugs me back in a warm brotherly embrace and he pulls back minutes later and he pats my arm – " and I wish you all the best for this first game as skipper my boy...I have a hunch...its going to be really good today..."

Coach grins and winks at Cap as he says – " totally Cap...I have a intuition backing up a feeling too...and you all know I am a inutitive man.."

I chuckle as I say to them – " really guys??? You know I have something up in my gut too....lets see how it goes..."

And right as we are about to step on the field Coach sir and Cap sold wither sides off my arms and I look at them Puzzled and they wink at me and gesture me with the eye to look up behind at a spot – a spot I recognise is the nearby VIP Stand which is the Family Box which has the most exclusive box reserved for all of us players and their families from both sides – and I ask Cap immediately – " Sachi maam and baby zoya here today?"

Cap chuckles as he winks – " yes yes...sachi is gesturing me to have you look at her..she wants to wish you luck too..."

I grin at him and I immediately Turn Behind to look Up Behind at the Family Box.

AND.

GUYS.

MY HEART POUNDS A ZILLION TIMES OVER IN CRAZYYY HAPPINESSS.

FOR.

ITS NOT SACHI MAAM OR BABY ZOYA IN THE STAND AT ALL.

ITS MY ENTIRE CRAZY MAD FAMILY GRINNING DOWN AT ME – AND WAVING AT ME – INCLUDING DADIII – AND DADI HAS A BLUE CAP ON too!!(SHE HASN'T COME TO THE STADIUM IN FOREVER AND SHE COMES TODAY FOR MY FIRST GAME AFTER BEING CAPTAIN – I KNOW WHY – THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL FOR MY GRANDFATHER UP IN HEAVEN TODAY INDEED – OH I LOVE YOU DADI)

I LOVE YOU MOM , DAD, ANJALI, MY SUNSHINEEEEEE!!!

AND GUYS

AND REST EVERYONE IS IN INDIAN JERSEYSSSSSSSS!!!!! ANJALI, KHUSHI - MOM – DAD TOOOO!!!

GODAMMITTTTTTTTT WHATTTT???????

I MEAN LOOK AT MY CRAZY MAD FAMILY SURPRISING ME THIS WAY!!!

ACTUALLY I SHOULD HAVE SENSED THIS GUYS – BUT THEY ARE ALL JUST BRILLAINT ACTORS GUYS WHAT CAN I SAY – MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL THINK OFF A ALTERNATE CAREER IN THEATRE!!!

HAHA!

OH MY GOD.

I CAN'T STOP GRINNING.

MY EYES MEET MY SUNSHINE'S IMMEDIATELY AS HERS ARE TWINKLING IN HAPPINESS AND SHE IMMEDIATELY SENDS ME A WINK AND A FLYING KISS – WHICH I IMMEDIATELY GRIN AND CATCH AND WINK BACK AT HER AND I PLACE THE KISS OVER MY HEART AND SHE CHUCKLES AND GRINS!

MOM AND DAD AND ANJALI AND DADI – ALL GIVE ME A COMBINED THUMBS UP AND I GRIN BACK AT EACH OFF THEM AND THUMBS UO BACK AND RIGHT THEN I SEE MY SUNSHINE GESTURE ME WITH A LOOK OF HER EYE – OH THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE WAS WORTH IT HOODIE GUY – AND I GRIN BACK AT HER – AND I SEE ALL OFF THEM GET INTO A GROUP NOW AS THEY GETSURE ME TOGETHER TO GET ON THE FIELD NOWWW!

AND I NOD.

AND JUST AS I AM ABOUT TO TURN , TO WALK ON THE FIELD LEADING THE TEAM BEHIND ME – MY EYES LOCK WITH MY SUNSHINES AGAIN – AND SHE GESTURES A – I LOVE YOU SO SO GODAMMIT MUCH HOODIE GUY – AND I GESTURE A I LOVE YOU TOO SO MUCH WITH A WINK BACK TOO AND I FINALLY TURN MY ATTENTION BACK TO THE GROUND.

I look at Coach and Cap and I grin – " you both knew...ravi surely didn't , he would have told me otherwise..."

Cap chuckles – " actually I didn't know too...coach knew...he just told me as we came in to you and I obviously spotted everyone, so happy for you ASR, big day today...I still remember my very first game as Captain...even after all these years...its special..."

I grin as I nod – " I nod what you mean...cmon then lets get on with it...",and I wink at them – " lets hope we win the toss...guys..the pitch is uber smooth.."

Cap and Coach nod – " cmon then...lets go.."

And I nod.

And I take a deep breathe.

And I step onto the Field for the very First time as the official Captain off the Indian Cricket team – and just like everytime I touched the ground and respected it by placing my hand to my heart and head – my very first official game for India, my first game as VC, this time around – I do the same too!

I touch the Pitch Ground and I thank God for Everything he had Blessed Me with!

And I Make My way Forward – with Gratitude and Love shining in my Heart!!

........................................

Arnav's POV Continues

325 PM – in the Locker Room

GUYSSSSSSS!!!

WE WON THE TOSSSSSS!!!

AND ARE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BAT FIRST!!

JUST LIKE I WANTED!!

HAHAHAHA!!

I HAVE JUST FINISHED PADDING UP!!

I KISS ON MY SUNSHINE'S CODE OVER MY BAT LOVINGLY!!!!

GUYS.

MY ENITRE FAMILY IS IN THE STANDS TODAY.

DADI HAS COME OUT TO SEE ME AFTER FOREVER!!!

LIKE LITERALLY!!!!

MOM.

DAD.

ANJALI.

MY SUNSHINE.

JUST THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES AS THEY WERE SMILING DOWN AT MEEEEE!!

LOVE GUSHES THROUGH MY HEART.

OK THEN GUYS.

AS YOU ALL KNOW MY SUNSHINE BEING IN THE STAND – IS LIKE A HUGE HUGE POWER PUSH TOO MEEEEE AND TODAY ITS LIKE I HAVE A FEELING TAKING OVER THAT ITS GOING TO BE REALLY GOOD OUT THERE ANYWAY!!

I LOOK AT MY BAT AS I SAY TO MY BAT LOVINGLY – HEY YOU ELDER WAND HOW ABOUT WE UNLEASH SOME SPECIAL CARNAGE FOR SUNSHINE AND MY ENTIRE FAMILYYYYYY TOOOO!!

I GRIN.

I am distracted in my chain off thoughts as Shiv walks up to me all padded up and he cant stop grinning as he says , as we punch our gloves – " the pitch is great today Skipper, the sri lankan skipper is really bummed he lost out on the toss today..."

I grin as I say – " I know right...",as we fist out our gloves together.

And we walk out.

And just as I am about to step out on the field – I pause to look up at the Family box and I spot my entire Family beaming down at me again and My Sunshine continues to send out a back to back flying kisses with both her hands as shes Happily, jumping and talking to Anjali, mom, dad, dadi and they are all cheering on me again – the Atmosphere in the Stadium is Electric as alwayssssssssss!!!

Crowds are out in our support in Huge NUMbers.

And right then I spot Asher walk up to Dad and they hug and he immediately spots me and gives me a Thumbs up and I grin back at him.

Well – He's definetly flown half across the Globe to be there for me today too but I wink back at him in a gesture off – oh I know why you are also here today and I gesture towards the dug out where my Support Team is sitting!!

And he gives me a Thumbgs up again – and I know my entire silent gesture inetractions with my Family is being blown up on the screen anyway and I chuckle as I now give them all a happy thumbs up and I send out a Flying kiss to Khushi now – and the Crowd and the crowd continues to Cheer and Hoot – and I grin as I pat Shiv's arm and we finally walk forward on the field and on the way out of near the Dug out, I pause for a second as I spot Manizeh deep in conversation with Yuvaan – I think shes discussing his position with his ankle that had just healed and advising him on techniques to take it easy in the game without injuring it more – and right then she looks up and gives me and Shiv a thumbs up and I gesture her to look at the Family box with a grin and – and make my way forwarddd to the field further!!

I AM VERY HAPPY IN MY HEART.

IT'S THE MOMENT MAYBE.

BUT I JUST HAVE A FEELING REINSTITATING IN MY GUT THAT'S GUIDING MEE TO JUST FLOW WITH MY INTUITION ON THE SHOTS I WANT TO TAKE TODAYYY!

AND I WILL.

I shake Hand with the Sri lankan wicket keeper and wish him all the best and he smile at us and wishes me the same, and I walk out mid pitch to Shiv as I adjust my helmet and I say to shiv – " shiv...their main two bowlers are resting out for this first match...gives us the advantage to go after the bowlers in the team today for we are just in the exact position...so lets play to our strengths as per our strategy and take on the powerplays,enjoy ourselves here, play the techniques and shots we love, a high total will give us a advantage not just in terms of the high scoring game, but run rates too in the series..."

Shiv nods as he adjusts his helmet and we punch our fists again – " yes Skipper...noted...how about you start with your Massive uppercut to long on that you fired in the first ball of the world Cup innings...for you most definetly know how to take on the bowler that's stepping up to bowl the first over...its going to be a good game skipper...I cant wait to experience the thrill and enjoyment off it... "

I wink at Shiv as I say – " copy that my Vice Captain...copy that...indeed...I cant wait to experience the thrill off it too....", and I return to my position on the pitch and the ball comes in and I grin as I read it perfectly and I hit it to long on for a massive uppercut – six and the Crowd Goes Beserk!!!

And I feel the Adrenaline Rush through my Ssystems.

And my eyes fall on MY Wife's precious handwritten code on my Bat and My Heart Swells with Love at the thought of her Jumping up and down in glee in the stands along with the Rest off My Family!!!

Maybe just Mayve – this Bat really was the Elder Wand Indeed!!

And right then the commentators voice rings in my ears too as I see the ball hit the ropes and we all JUMp up in glee - " and that's a Four ladies and gentleman, staright into the boundaries in a massive cover drive and with that our skipper reaches a 202, his very first double century in international cricket...look at that salute with the bat to the crowd...he cant belive this...he cant its on his face as hes lifted off his helment and knelt down in sheer Happiness and exhilaration on the ground as he raises his bat to the Sky...with both his arms open...and now he is being Hugged by the man who he still looks up to as his Captain – so hard, look at his team going crazy in the dug outs, his coaches, his family in the stands, his parents, his grandmother, his wife...we can see them all shedding out happy exhilarated tears as they watch Him celebrate...this Double Century Today...."

Shiv, kunal, yuvaan,along with the rest of my team, start congratulating me for the brilliant innings and I get up on my feet now and I hug everyone as I celebrate and I say controlling my overhwlemed emotions and brining my focus back to the field – " cmon then guys...we gotta get ready for the second innings too...",and I look at Cap as I say – " I know they are going to call me on for mid innings interview – but cap – ill just hold onto all of that for the end off the game, for we gotta defend our total..."

Cap nods and he agrees – " I agree...",and I look at everyone and I gesture us all to get ready and get onto the dressing room to get ready for the second Half off the Game.

AND AS WE ARE MAKING OUR WAY IN – I OBVIOUSLY LOOK UP AT THE FAMILY BOX TO SEE MY ENTIRE FAMILY BEAMING DOWN AT ME IN HAPPINESS AND FIRST THING OUT IN MY EMOTION ITS LIKE I WANT TO GO HUG THEM ALL – BUT THEN I KNOW I CANT BECAUSE I AM THE SKIPPER – AND I NEED TO GET TO MY TEAM FIRST AND PREP FOR THE SECOND INNINGS.

THE CROWD AROUND ME HAS GONE BESERK IN CELEBRATIONNNNNN!!!!!

THEY WONT STOP CHANTING MY HOODIE GUY'S NAME.

AND HE IS GRINNING IN SHEER GLEE AND HAPPINESS – AS HE IS WAITING FOR THE CHEERING TO GO DOWN – SO THAT HE CAN START TALKING TO THE REPORTER.

INDIAAAAAAAAAAAA WON!!!

WON THE MATCH BY 153 RUNSSSS!!!!

SRI LANKA WAS BOWLED OUT IN 43.1 OVERS AT THE SCORE OFF 251.

GUYSSS!!

OH MY GOD.

INSANE.

OBVIOUSLLY THE SCORE WAS SO DAUNTING AND WAS A ADDED PRESSURE.

BUT THE MEN IN BLUE BOWLED AND DEFENDED THEIR TOTAL – BRILLAINTLY.

AND.

We were all so proud in our hearts to see Arnav, get on quick chat ups with Cap in between the game in the second innings on field – discussing things out with him and taking on his guidance!

MY HOODIE GUY IS THE GREATEST GENTLEMAN ON ALL OFF PLANET EARTH.

AND GUYS KNOW THIS.

EVEN AS INDIA WON – THEY WAY HE AND THE TEAM MET UP WITH THE SRI LANKAN TEAM IN SHEER GRACIOUSNESS AND DISPLAY OF HUMBLED SPORTSMANSHIP WON EVERYONES HEART – A ZILLION TIMES OVER AGAIN.

WHAT A BLOODY GAMEEEEE!

GUYS.

MY HOODIE GUY HAS THE RECORD OF BEING THE ONLY CAPTAIN TO SCORE THIS HIGH RUN STAND IN ODI – NOW.

MY HEART IS GOING TO BURST IN HAPPINESS.

IM DYING TO HUG HIM.

BUT I KNOW GOTTA HOLD ON FOR A BIT ON THAT.

HE IS THE SKIPPER NOW – HIS FIRST DUTY IS TO BE WITH THE TEAM THAT'S WHY WE ALL GESTURED HIM TO CONTINUE TO THE DRESSING ROOM MID GAME TOO.

And guys know this – many reporters have asked us as in family members to come on Mike too for a byte but we all just passed on the message that we are speechless with emotion – so we wont be able to Come on Mike right now.

The cheering around us settles and My Hoodie guys face comes up on the screen in post Match presentation and the reporters already taken his one interview as the Captain (which was a wonderful humbled interview in which he tahnked the team, support team, the coaches, the sril lankan team etc, and saluted the spirit of the game off cricket) and now the reporter is taking this One as he is received the Man of the Match Award and he says into the Mike, asking ARnav – " and the roaring just wont stop ASR, look at that the excitement and thrill in the crowd today, you very well deserve this man off the match for the brilliant 220 run not out off 150 balls – what a brilliant innings, an amazing run rate, what a knock, historic...going to go down in history books of cricket forever...how does it feel ASR?"

Arnav grins as he clutches on the award and says into the Mike now – " I have goosebumps...I literally have goosebumps right now..that probably conveys my emotions better..right now...for I have no words to express myself right now...too overwhelmed...to excited...im speechless with emotion on the personal level...as in I could most surely give you a longer interview as the skipper because that was a holistic and central subjective, but on a personal performance..i ..i just don't know what to say right now...all I can say is that I am very very happy..elated with goosebumps....."

We all chuckle.

Everyone in the stands chuckle.

My heart glows.

AWW MY PRECIOUS HOODIE GUY!!!!

The Reporter – "ofcourse, and we must tell you the same is the situation with each of your family member in the family box for we tried to get them on the mike for a little bytee over, but they are all overwhelmed and speechless, even your father, who usually gives us a little sneak peek into his head off how proud he is off you...but not today..hes speechless too...just like your mother, sister, grandmother, your wife...theyv all come out to support you today..a word for them maybe??"

Arnav grins as he says into the mike – " well yes, ofcoursee...a word for them indeed, and for my family and friends back in cape town too who I know couldn't be here, but I know im on their mind right now...thank you guys...so very much for your blessings, and well to my father id just like to say – thank you dad, thank you so much for everything you do for me as a father, my mom – she really would have had a hard time in the game today, because she doesn't leave her seat when im batting so must have been tough for her to stay statue for so long..."

We all chuckle happily.

Mom is crying Happily.

Dad is hugging her hard.

Arnav continues – " my sister Anjali, she'd been wonderful always in my support, anj thanks I love you...and my grandma...dadi..well today youv come out to the match after forever and I know why...because you wanted to be there for me as I played my first game as official Captain...and also coz you know what this moment means to grandpa up in heavens today..."

Dadi is beaming in Happiness Guys.

Arnav continues – " and guys I do want to mention, at the double century celebration mid pitch with my hands up to the sky, it was more like a toast to my grandfather, and my wifes parents and brother, for they are my family iv never really met , but I know they are watching from the skies above, and I know they would be celebrating too..."

OK.

HES MAKING ME CRY AGAIN.

The reporter asks – " and your wife...any special words for your wifi..who is now your wife , ASR? Do you know there are memes doing rounds already that her presence in the stands makes you fire insanely, for on the last odi matches she was present in in NZ you scored three centures in three odi'd and india won those matches too, and well today, its been a absolute stunner anyway, some memes say that maybe the Indian team should take her on as a Lucky mascot, and some memes say that the opposite team facing india in matches these days is probably praying that Mrs Arnav Singh Raizada, doesn't come to watch the match...for maybe that's the only way they may have chances off winning...for ASR's bat does go on a firing spree with her around..."

Arnav chuckles.

We all chuckle.

Everyone in the stands Chuckle and Murmurs.

I MEAN JUST LOOK AT WHAT ALL PEOPLE CONJURE UP YA.

I MEAN THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY HOODIE GUYS PERFORMANCE AND DEDICATION.

WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH MY PRESENCE???

BUT

YES.

YES,

THESE MEMES ARE ACTUALLY CIRCULATING ALL OVER ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

I AM AWAREEEE!

ANJALI JUST SHOWED IT TO ME.

AND ZARA AND DIYA , SACHI MAAM ALSO JUST SHARED SNAP SHOT OFF THE SAME IN OUR WHTSAPP GROUP.

Arnav wont stop chuckling and he says into the Mike – " well , yes, im aware about these Memes and everything, for Ravi just talking about it to me before the presentation, and well let me just say that well yes some off those memes are true indeed, for my wifes presence in the stands does really work as a huge motivation for me always, shes my magic,my inspiration, iv been so vocal about it, you all know that...maybe...I should discuss this out with her...",and he pauses as he says into the mike – " say what wifey...how about being our lucky mascot...??"

Everyone chuckles.

And suddenly the cameras on me and my face is all Blown up on the screen and I just smile, sheepishly as Mom and Anjali hug me and I just shake my Head in a No No – No lucky mascot business

Arnav obviously sees this on the screen and he chuckles into the Mike as he says – " ok then sorry about that guys, dear wife says – no lucky mascot business..."

The reporter chuckles and smiles and asks – " anything more you want to say to her maybe??"

Arnav nods – " offcourse..i do..i want to thank her for her wonderful support always, and iv said it before and I will say this again, me being where I am today wouldn't have been possible without her support and love at all...thank you Sunshine for everything...always...You are my magic and I love you..."

The crowd Cheers.

UFF THIS HOODIE GUY.

I CANT STOP BLUSHING.

I GROUP HUG EVERYONE SHEEPISHLY.

The reporter congratulates Arnav once again and he now thanks him too and makes his way to the Locker room with the Boys – and finally we all rush to the area Near the Locker room too – for obviously Hoodie guy is going to go back to the Hotel with the Team and we will see him There for theirs obviously going to be a Celebration – but we all need to hug him first evern if its for a little while.

And while we are making out way down to the area – Mom grins as she says to me – " and I want to see you run into Arnavs arms and hug him first khushi beta I know youv been dying too..."

Dad grins – " totally I know...we are going to snap it on video.."

Dadi grins – " yes please..khushi beta...you better run to my grandson fast..."

Anjali winks – " khushi cmon ...we are reaching them...see tehre I spot the boys...and bhai..cmon one two three ..pt usha mode on..."

I grin and I nod.

And right then My Hoodie guy looks up too and our eyes lock intensely and emotionally from across and I run into his arms immediately and he strides up to me too – and I fling myself into his Arms straight away as I hug him tight and I feel his arms go around my waist possessively almost immediately as he Hugs me Back tight too and I whisper into his ears, hugging him hard – " dumbledoree you...magical dumbledore you....just look at all the cricketing carnage youv unleashed for the world to see today..."

Arnav hugs me hard as he chuckles and kisses my ear softly – " well, I do think the bat youv written the code on is the elder wand for real Sunshine..how about you handwrite some more codes on the rest off my bats too..."

I chuckle on reflex as I continue hugging him hard and I say - " very funny you...hoodiie guy...its all you...its all your dedication and hardwrok to your game...and this is a new beginning which has only just begun...so happy for you love...more because I know you had the time off yoru life playing today...didn't you love????"

Arnav whispers – " offcourse Love...I freaking enjoyed so so so much today indeed...godaamit..i love you....cant wait to be alone with just you..."

I chuckle as I pull back now and I whisper softly looking into his eyes – " I know..theres some time to that though love...ill obviously see you at the hotel...you go back in the team bus ok??"

He nods happily.

I kiss his hand.

And now Dad, Mom, Anjali, Dadi – everyone starts to Hug and congratulate Arnav and I watch with Happy emotional eyes – my Heart gushing with Love.

THANK YOU GOD.

MOM, DAD, KRISH – YOU ARE WATCHING THIS ARENT YOU?

I KNOW YOU ARE CELEBRATING UP IN THE HEAVENS WITH DADAJI TODAY FOR SUREEE!!!

I JUST KNOW YOU ARE!!

...................................................

90 MINUTES LATER – at ITC RAJPUTANA – HOTEL

130 AM IN THE NIGHT – AFTERPARTY IN THE HOTEL

Asher grins to himself as he finally spots Arnav take Khushi by the hand, off the Dancefloor, and Khushi looking around at the surroundings for a second – to see if anyone would spot them missing and she turns around to Nod at Arnav and they final make their way out.

Asher cant stop grinning for obviously – its been insane at the Afterparty the minute they all reached the Hotel – for their was this huge cake cutting for the team and Arnav specially for that spectacular milestone and obviously Hodoie guy and Sunshine had zero time to themselves until now – infact he was surprised that Arnav had been able to keep his patience for 60 minutes in the afterparty , and he knew it was mostly so because Khushi wanted him to celebrate with everyone too.

He was so Happy for Him and Khushi – indeed.

And infact he was now also very Happy about the fact that now – finally he would be able to ask Manizeh out for a talk in private – because he also hasn't been able to speak to her alone since all afternoon – face to face, even though, they had been texting and chatting in between.

She had obviously seen HIm at the Stadium.

She had spotted him the Minute, Arnav had gestured her to look back up at The Family box.

And boy the look off a Dazed Shock and surprise off seeing him there in the stands was totally worth him planning the Surprise!!

For they hadn't met in last 54 days too – ever since he left for South Africa on 2nd Jan!!

And things had obviously been cooking up between them both – for they had been talking and texting and video calling all the time – as much as time permitted – and theyd only gotten closer!

Infact another very important reason why he was here today apart from being there for Arnav today was because – he wanted to kickstart things offically with Manizeh.

Getting to know her More – in the last 54 days closely had reinstated his belief – that they could wade through and Carve out a Future together!

And now he just needed to know – how she felt about the same, and the only way to know this would be – when he would be able to be alone with her.

And he now takes the glass of water from the gentleman at the counter and sips on it and turns around to look for Manizeh where he had last spotted her still busy with her support team friends and the team in the afterparty – and hed gotten talking with Cap and Shiv at the bar.

But he is surprised to not find her there.

He quickly messages her.

Asher : manizeh where are you?? I cant spot you around!

His phone beeps.

Manizeh : yes asher, that's because I reached up to my room three minutes Ago!

He groans in disappointment as he writes : what?? Are you planning to sleep now????

Manizeh : well kind off..it is 130 am...I thought you were going to be busy longer talking to cap and shiv..so..i just left..and I thought of texting you actually about it right now..just as you messaged...for yes, im a little tired too and then tomm afternoon we are all travelling to Indore too!and I have the physio sessions with Yuvaan after breakfast too, remember I told you??

Asher quickly replies : yes ofcourse, I remember your schedule very well Manizeh, but I need to talk to you right now. Its kind off important! Can I come up to your room to chat with you for fifteen minutes maybe? That's all..ill let you catch up on your sleep then! If you are uncomfortable about me coming to the room maybe we can meet elsewhere!

His phone beeps.

Manizeh : oh please Asher, im not uncomfortable with you around, you know that! yes please come , ill make us some tea, in the meanwhile – you up for it?im in 407.

Asher smiles to himself as he reads that and he writes back immediately : yes indeed, id love a cup off tea with my three spoonfulls of sugar.

Manizeh : A Cup off tea with Three Spoonfulls off sugar shall be waiting for you!

Asher : see you in five minutes.

Manizeh : see you asher!

........................

Minutes later

Asher finishes sipping on his tea and he continues to keep his eyes locked with Manizeh's at the chair across the table in her room as she finishes sipping on her tea and she smiles at him once she is done and she asks – " ok so Asher...you said you wanted to talk about something..."

Asher nods as he bends forward and holds her hand on reflex and asks – " ok?"

Manizeh nods.

And she feels her Insides rumble nervously.Seeing him in the stands all of a Sudden after 54 days had obviously sent her into a Dazed Surprised Shock! For she had no clue! And yes – in all these days, they had only gotten closer with all the chatting, texting, video calling, and she was now starting to fall for him quite a bit.

Asher looks at Manizeh looking down her hand in his nervously and she looked so beautiful to his eyes in a printed cotton kurta and track pants and he hair were open to her sides and he asks , getting staright to the point – " you know why I am here today don't you??"

Manizeh looks up instantly as she says with a smile – " offcourse Asher, you and ASR are really close friends now and it was a big day for him...so glad you came and you did mention in the text chat in the evening that Zara and Zain will be coming to eden gardens on Sunday too right??"

Asher nods, but his insides groan as he asks with a raised eyebrow – " really is that what you think this is all about??"

Manizeh looks at him with nervous eyes , keeping her gaze on his – " isn't that what this is all about??"

Asher smiles as he kisses on her hand now – " no..this isn't just about that...its also very much about the fact that I am falling for you way faster and deeper than I had anticipated I would and I feel my heart all glowing again...all thanks to you...so I obviouslly wanted to waste no time in coming to see you the minute I realised that I need you to know this from me in person face to face, so yes...me coming here today is also to tell you – that I want to be with you manizeh...for real...officially, as US, a couple...and I want to know how do you feel about the same???i really really like you..."

Manizeh feels her insides flutter nervously as she says softly looking down away from his gaze – " well I am falling for you faster than I had anticpated too..asher...and i...really really like you too..i..i......"

Asher khan was a patient man – always had been – but just as those words left Manizeh's mouth softly, he felt his patience run out(it could have something to do with the fact that he had , a couple of drinks so he was tipsy) and he immediately pulled her to come stand in front off him and his hand went around her waist immdietely and he says cupping her one cheek, making Manizeh shiver – " well usually you know, I am very very patient...but right now I cant be...maybe also because I have had a couple off drinks..and also maybe because hearing you say that you like me too..and maybe also because I am only here for a week for now...how about we talk the rest of our plans on how to go about this tomorrow morning..for right now I only have five minutes to leave your room, since I promised you that id let you sleep...so...I want to know if it will be ok, if I act on my wishes, and kiss you for a couple of minutes right now??"

Manizeh shivers under his intent gaze as her hands go up to hold his arms on reflex on both sides as she asks – " you want to kiss me right now??asher are you sure???"

Asher nods – " yes very very sure...and id like to start in the next two seconds maybe?? If you say that you'd like to kiss me too offcourse...",and asher takes Manizehs hands and places it over his heart – " see that how fast my heartbeats are at the thought off the new beginning in between of us..."

Manizeh feels her heart knot in excitement and glee and hope for a second chance at love too, as she feels AShers heartbeats fasten under her hand and she says softly , with a smile as a gesture to convey the answer to him– " my hearts racing all fast too Asher..."

That was all the gesture that Asher needed as he Immdietaly pulled her by the head closer,and closed his lips over Hers – in a Gentle Kiss at first – and the minute Manizeh started to kiss him back gently too – their embrace deepened only further.

And Asher and Manizeh continued to kiss each other deeply – for the next five minutes – their emotions and vibes – promising each other to just trust the magic of new beginnings now indeed.

About Five minutes later , Asher pulls apart from the deep kiss, and kisses Manieh on the forhead softly and he says with a wink – " goodnight Manizeh..ill see you in the morinng ok?? and ofcourse im coming to Indore too...will be staying exactly where you all are...so we will get some good time together tomorrow surely..i want to take you out for dinner..just you and me ok?"

Manizeh flushes and blushes and she nods as she says – " yes ok..offcourse okk...goodnight Asher..."

Asher bends forward and he kisses her cheeks again – and then briefly again on her lips softly as he says looking into Manizeh's eyes – " I cant wait for the morning already..."

Manizeh smiles as she admit – " I know...neither can i...",and she tiptoes and kisses him on his forhead and then he walks out her door.

Asher smiles to himself – as he makes his way too his Room – a very happy man in his Heart – for his Heart had Started to Blossom again – For Real!!

And Manizeh slept with a dreamy smile up her Face too – for after a long long time for the first time ever – her heart had instructed her to Take that Leap off Faith Again and she had gone with the Flow off it – for the intention and honesty in Ashers eyes had struck a chord within her heart a long long time ago already – and now it was time to Move Forward in Life and just Bask in the Bliss – off this New Beginnings in the Matters of the Heart Indeed.

...........................

3:15 AM – Arnav's ROOM

ARNAV'S POV

GODAAMIT ME.

SO KNOW THIS GUYS.

I HAVE STATED THESE TWO THINGS BEFORE AND I WILL STATE THIS AGAIN.

I CAN NEVER KISS MY WIFE ENOUGH.

I CAN NEVER MAKE LOVE TO MY WIFE ENOUGH.

AND EVEN THOUGH I JUST FINISHED MAKING , RAW, AND SENSUOUS AND DEEP LOVE TO MY SUNSHINE – ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AGO -MY NEED TO MAKE LOVE OT HER AGAIN – IS ALREADY STIRRING UP – FOR SHE'S SNUGGLED UP CLOSE TO ME AND HER HANDS ARE CARESSING MY HEART GENTLY AND I AM LOST INTO HER MESMERISING LOVING EYES THAT ARE GLISTENING WITH LOVE FOR MEEE!!

OK AND GUYS.

NOTE THIS – I HAD ONLY STAYED IN THE AFTER PARTY CELEBRATIONS WITH EVERYONE – BECAUSE KHUSHI WAS ALL LIKE – HOODIE GUY CMON, I AM HERE NO WITH YOU – IT WAS SUCH A BIG ACHEIVEMNET TODAY THE TEAM WANTS TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU – AND ALSO BECAUSE MOM AND DAD ALSO CAME IN FOR THE CAKE CUTTING AND CHAMPGENE POPPING BIT!!

AND also we got onto a quick call with everyone back in Cape town , uncle, aunty, diya, Rahul zara, zain as everyone was congratulating me as well – and then once that was done, OFCOURSE THEN WE WERE ENGROSSED WITH THE AFTERPARTY CELEBRATIONS FOR AN HOUR – EVEN THOUGH ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS JUST BE ALONE WITH MY SUNSHINE – FOR I KNOW SHE WAS GOING TO LEAVE AT 8 AM IN THE MORNING BY THEN!

ANYWAYS SO – AROUND 130 AM – when my patience ran out and I spotted that everyone was busy in the afterparty, my mischevious isster and best friend Ravi were lost in each other dancing up and enjoying – I had immediately taken Khushi's hand and we had come up to my room.

And well – the minute we were in ,and she started to say – " my hoodie guy...gosh...love..im so happy...for..yo..",well I obviously did not let her complete her You...as I shoved her against the wall , kissed her Hard and bad, caressed her , carnaged her in the ways I love, and stripped us both off bare urgently right there at the door – and made raw and deep love to her almost immeidtaietly for the first time over.

And well – then obviously I whisked her up in my arms and took her to the shower – because khushi and me both love to take a hot water shower together before we sleep in the night – and well the idea was too just caress her softly and gently – since I had almost ravished her like a mad man against the door – but didn't really work out – for the minute we Kissed in the shower again – as we soaped each other gently – we kind off ended up making love in there again and then when I finally carried her to the Bed after, and tucked her in and she Snuggled into me, and looked at me with her love filled mesmerising eyes – I just had to kiss her again, and stamp her body all over inch by inch in the sensuaous ways I wanted and by the end off many heated minutes later off me having my Carnagical ways with her – we finally ended up making Love again – so yeah basically – IV kind off Ravished and Carnaged her Hard and Bad – in the last almost two hours – three times over – and now as I am lost in her mesmerising, passionate eyes like I said before – I just feel like Making love to her Again already!

I mean she is leaving tomorrow morning!

And I am only going to see her on Saturday evening now in Kolkata.

Today was technically Wednesday.

Two and a Half Full days to Seeing her Again!!

I feel her Wedge up on her arm now as she kisses my cheek lovingly and she asks softly – " hey you...my hoodie guy...you want some coffee?ill make us some maybe??"

I nod as I admit – " well I wouldn't mind a cup off coffee off yoru hands love ever..you know that...but are you sleep love?? as in I know you have to levae by 8 , which means you have to wake up by 7am since it's like you all have to reach office on time..."

Khushi shakes her head as she says softly, lacing her hand in mine – " no love...ill sleep in a while...I can totally catch up on sleep on the drive back to Delhi no...I want to be awake with you for a bit..."

I grin and kiss her forhead and she says – " will you pass me your tee please??i mean I can totally wear my nightsuit but you know I have a thing for your tees..."

I chuckle and I kiss her forhead and get out off bed as I put on my shorts and fling one of my tees on her which she puts on and she walks up to the mini bar area off my room and puts the kettle on boil and starts to get the instant coffee powder in the coffee mugs and I hug her from behind and I bury my head in the crook of her neck and I kiss her shoulder and I say lovingly – " two and half full days until I see you again love...how about you consider that lucky mascot offer haan? For real...that way youll be with me all the time..."

Khushi chuckles as she says softly – " very funny...",and she turns around and wraps her arms around my neck lovingly as we wait for the kettle to boil – " you know I miss you so much too when we are away...but you know its only like fuel to our fire for one another in every way..emotionally and ahemm ahemm...",she finishes with a wink

I chuckle as I kiss her forhead – " oh yes...indeed.."

She hugs me tight as she whispers – " I love the way Our emotions and feelings keep igniting more and more deep for the other with each passing day...its so freaking Intenser Love...and I love it...I love us...I just love the way we are so deeply into one another..."

I hug her hard as I admit – " I know what you mean..i love it too..."

The water boils and khushi turns to prep up our Coffee and I bury my head in the crook of her neck again and she chuckles now as she says – " oh I so forgot to tell you, you know Radha the journalist, the one whom we gave our live interview too in SA...ever since these memes about me have gone live shes been texting me too, and shes after me to write a book on us for real, shes all like cmon Khushi – we all want to know Hoodie guy and Sunshines love story..."

I smile as I see Khushi fill out our coffees now and she hands me one cup and takes one, and we walk back to the bed and Snuggle into Bed, and turn to look at the other as we take a sip off our coffees and I ask her now – " really???and what did you tell her??"

Khushi smiles as she takes a sip off her coffe – " Well I told her the truth love...that ill think over it..."

I smile as I wink at her – " you know what...I think we should do it for real, write out our story..from both our POV's..you totally gotta let me write my bit off it..."

Khushi chuckles as she asks, sipping her coffee – " oh really love??? ok ok lets think this over not a bad idea at all..maybe we can get around to it slowly slowly..and oh my god...now that you mentioned it...I mean if we ever got around to it for real – I know what do I want to call our Story..."

I chuckle as I ask , loving her adorable look up her face – " really? Why don't you enlighten me too love...and stop being so adorable in the moment..ill ravish you again...even before you finish your coffeee"

Khushi chuckles as she sips her coffee and makes a even more adorable expression after and she says – " id want to call it – Hit wicket My Heart...what do you think off the title hoodie guy..."

I grin on reflex as my heart glows with love – " I love it...kool so its decided then..if we ever get around to writing our story...we are going to call it Hit Wicket My Heart..."

Khushi grins – " done deal...my hoodie guy"

I look at her intently as I sip my coffee and I admit – " and you know what id like to write this out in the first chapter from my point of view- that the Minute I met you – my heart and soul all went like – oh here you , where have you been? We'v been looking for you..."

Khushi's eyes well up with emotion and love as she immediately keeps her coffee cup aside and keeps mine aside too and she straddles me immediately and her hands fist my hair from both sides and she looks into my eyes – " dammit you...looks like im not going to let you finish your coffee...dammit...I need to kiss you..and I need to feel you in me..right now...",and she immediately kisses me hard, and our Heated Duel of our lips begin for many minutes and I shove her back into the bed immediately and start to Carnage her with my deep urgent Caresses and she whispers into my lips, continuing to kiss me back hard – " and for you love...arnav...know this...I not only hit wicketed my heart, but also my mind, my body, and my soul too...dammit...for you love...I'v hit wickted my entire existence...You are my Happily ever Paradise Dammit...your my happily ever Paradise SQAURE ROOTED TO INFINITY..my hoodie guy...my husband....My peaceful prayer...my devotion....the reason for my Existence.. my everything...my love, heart and my soulmate....I love you so so godammit much..dammit..and...I need you in me now love...like now...now....and I want us to look into each others eyes too as we always do...as you enter me..", and she instant lifts up her body to mine , and wraps her legs around my waist.

DEEP OVERHWHELMING EMOTIONS DRIVEN BY INTENSE LOVE AND DESIRE TAKE OVER AS I IMMEDIATELY ADJUST HER BODY TO MINE AND ENTER HER AND START TO MAKE RAW AND SLOW, AND SENSUAL DEEP LOVE TO HER - AS I CONTINUE TO LOOK INTO HER EYES.

And she continues to look into my eyes too Intently aND I say,sure my Voice was filled with emotion, as I cup her face lovingly with one hand as we start to move and love each other - " and for you My Sunshine, I- hit wicketed not just my heart..but my mind,body and soul too..you know that dont you Sunshine..you are my sun..the reason for my existence..my wife...my soul...my FREAKING Happily ever Paradise too...paradise square rooted to a zillion freaking infinity...my peaceful prayer..my devotion...my magic...my everything dammit...I love you godammit...so so much...words will never be enough to express what i feel for you dammit you know that dont you..."

And She let's out a deep moan of my name as I start to make deeper love to her with that and she nods as she says looking into my eyes and she starts to match my moves, and rhythms and whimpers lovingly looking into my eyes – " I know...I know..my hoodie guy...kiss me Hoodie guy...make love to me till 6am in the morning maybe...all I need Us ,carnaging each other to our blissful Paradise this wway for a couple of hours more....dammit..."

I kiss her Hard immediately.

And I make raw and deep Love to MY WifE over and over again in our various passionate Carnigical Sessions till 6am in the morning...until MY Sunshine falls off to sleep Exhausted in my Arms , her Limbs entangled Into Mine still.
