The match was beyond exciting . How could it not be when it's a final and your love is out there to play. RCB's opponent SUNRISERS HYDERABAD was a very good team to which RCB share a very known rivalry. It was for the second time both the teams were coming face-to-face for a final. 11 years back SRH has defeated RCB into being champions. Having won a couple of times before, SRH were confident this evening. However, Bangalore was giving them a very tough competition.

Winning the toss, Captain Kohli decided to field. SRH, having batted first, had given RCB a target of 198 runs, with Williamson scoring a century. RCB too played well with the fielding with yuzi Bhai having a four wicket haul with two consecutuve wickets . Moving to the second innings, it was hard to guess who will win.

I had never been so excited before, but I was also so nervous. I knew how badly Dev and team wanted to win the cup. Even though it was their fifth final they never got the chance to win. With my fingers crossed I sat beside Anu di . She was seated next to dhana di- who both were practically in the same state. All of a sudden I felt some weight on my lap. It was Isha who wanted to sit with me. We had bonded really well in the past couple of months. Moreoever, she was as crazy as I am.

It was the innings break and Isha and I, both were playing and laughing over some random weird jokes. Giving eventual glances to the screen I saw Dev and Finch wearing the pads and helmet. they were opening tonight. Me knowing the innings are about to start I fixed my eyes on the field.

I saw the camera focussing on us. Me sitting beside the wives of the players playing out there. What should I expect? I knew they will be eager to grasp the expressions of the partners. I saw the screen showing our pictures. Will it be shown on TV ? Will the ones who were invited to my wedding seeing this? would they think i ran away breaking my wedding to see a match live? Was I sounding insane? Leaving all that behind, i looked towards the field.

Soon the innings began. After 4 overs , Rashid Khan -one of SRH's best bowlers- was bowling , Finch swung his bat touching the ball, the ball flew high, ......... Making its way to warner's hand. 18 runs from 11 balls and he was gone. 37-1.

Virat bhaiya was next. The next 7 overs were great. No wickets down- Dev-Virat partnership did well-72 runs from 45 balls. Dev was doing extremely well, 46 from 39 balls including 2 fours and a six. He swung his bat to hit a six in the next ball and yeahhhh!!!! He hit a fifty. The cameras focused on him. He pointed his bat towards me and flew a kiss to me. A while zoo woke up inside me. I stood up clapping enthusiastically like a five year old happy with her first drawing.

It was T.Natarajan bowling and it was a hit-wicket. The screen focused on Dev. He was out for 73 from 60 balls. His face showed disbelief. He was angry and sad. He left still having confident in the biscotti bond.

ABD was next. The match went on pretty well with runs and wickets which peeped in between. It was the 19th over. It was Saini and sunder batting and once again bhuveneswar Kumar has taken a wicket of sunder after morris. 8 wickets gone and it was Chahal Bhai coming in. 10 balls left, 16 runs to score. Stumbling over the first ball , Yuzi Bhai scored a single making Saini Bhai on strike. Scoring two consecutive fours it was the end of the over.

One more over left. 7 left from 6. Scoring It wasn't impossible, but the problem was it was Yuzi Bhai on strike. He was a great bowler for no doubt. But he wasn't good at striking . The only way to win in this situation was yuzi Bhai scoring a single and handing strike to Saini bhai.

"Hum jeetenga, na?" It was Isha asking. I nodded a yes.Why did she ask me this. Oh god,Please.The over begun. It was Stanlake bowling the over. The first three balls were dots with yuzi Bhai trying to score a run. 3 balls left and still 7 was the target.

The camera focuses the dugout where the players sat with different emotions making its way to their faces. SRH players showed their confidence and it felt like they were getting ready to place a kiss on their third trophy after 11 long years. Maybe their confidence tookover and Stanlake bowled a slow ball as he was sure they would win, to their badluck it was a sixer.

Isha who was sitting in my lap jumped out placing her hands on her mouth, and I saw a question in her eyes 'was it really her dada'. The screen replayed the shot. Yuzi bhais face showed how surprised was he. He never knew he would be able to hit a six. Now every one who supported RCB had a glow on their face. Dhana di couldn't believe her eyes did her hubby really scored a six. Stanlake was guilty. His one mistake made the win slip out of their hands.

Now the score was 198-8.

One more run needed from 2 balls. Even if no runs were scored. It will turn out to be a tie leading to a super over. Everyone were excited. The next ball was bowled and Yuzi Bhai hit the ball bringing home RCB's first ever trophy. The SRH players had their eyes glued on the ball trying for a run out. But they were late. Saini Bhai ran to yuzi Bhai hugging eachother.

Dev and the team ran to the ground screaming at the top of their voice. They had a group hug. I had tears streaming down my eyes. It was of happiness of course. I hugged Isha. I looked around to see no one near me they had run to the ground to see their partners. I grabbed Isha and ran . My legs moved involuntarily making my way through the crowd who were hooting in happiness.

My heart was beating vigorously. It felt different to be on the grounds like this.
Running away from your family-breaking your alliance-back with your love of your life-seeing him playing his dream match-now happy to be part of his achievement.

How different it was.

I walked to see my best friend-turned-boyfriend amidst the players and the team management, I had a lot of emotions running through me . The players were along with their families. I saw Isha looking at her father like he scored a century. She was perplexed. It was a chaos all around, as everyone who had access to the field went to congratulate the boys.

The boys were already celebrating, hugging each other to the end of the world, jumping around, even doing a victory dance choreographed by Yuzi bhai weeks ago. I couldn't spot Dev since the ground was too crowded.

I decided to wait.

The boys were out of their lala land moved towards their family. I saw Dev standing in the middle glancing at his co-players hugging and kissing their family. I knew he wanted to someone to share his happiness. Should I rush to his embrace?, what if someone notices it?

The wedding guests...will they??

How big an idiot am I .

He saw me.

I ran to him.

Hugged him.

I knew he was unprepared. I looked into his eyes. His eyes had tears welled up.

"I wished for a kiss" he said with a cheeky smile.

" You've got that already. Expect the unexpected." I replied.

He looked cute with that pout on. I wanted to kiss that pout but not now.

"Leave that already, you did well. I love you!" I said

"I know", he kissed on my forehead. I knew someone would have spotted us. But I didn't care. It felt great. A kiss of warmth ,of love, of care. I closed my eyes. A tear escaped I hugged him tight. I was crying.

" Are you okay. I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable." He said noticing my tears.

"It's nothing like that. Actually I have never been this happy. I am lucky to have you. And never say that sorry to me. Ever again."

"Wait, I am too sweaty, will hug you forever after freshening up." He said breaking the hug.

"Huh... How unromantic!!! I don't care."
I said snuggling more into his chest.

" I think it's becoming awkward. Let's break it now and continue this inside the hotel" he said breaking the hug and kissing my cheek. We walked towards the team entwining our fingers together.

After another set of congrats and gratitude presentation, The team was called to accept the champions trophy. They were too happy to express in mere words. Yuzi Bhai was awarded the man of the match . Why would not?, A four wicket haul and changing the direction of the match from loss to win. He was indeed a game changer.

We were in the hotel banquet hall. Yet another party . Everyone were at their extreme joyous mood. That's when I heard.

"Boooooooo"

I jerked and turned around to see minion standing holding her baby bump. Near Suchit with she's-never-gonna-change look.
"Did you just came all the from Bangalore with this 7-month old pregnant belly to see me, idiot?" I was happy to see her , but she was not in a good state to travel.

"FYI, I am not here for you I am here to join the amazing win of my bro." She said taking ducky steps to Dev. They indeed had grown a sibling bond during our friendship . She always helped him pacify me while he was grateful to her that she took Suchit away from me. He was jealous. THE DEVDUTT PADIKKAL WAS JEALOUS OF HIS CRUSH'S BEST FRIEND.

"I am here for my sister anyway." Suchit came in and hugged me. I missed this nutritionist. I saw Dev looking at is with glaring eyes. He looked cute Everytime . Even more when he was angry.

I introduced them to all the teammates and family. Minion easily got together with Anu di and Dhana di. Isha and Vamika was pinned to minion and they talked like they had years old bond. I wasn't jealous,was I?

I heard dev's sound then greeting everyone turning to my left I saw him stand in the raised stage with a mic in his hand. He asked me to get on with him. He turned bto me.

"How cute!!!!!" Minion shouted to which everyone chuckled. He hit Suchit, "this is what a marriage proposal looks like. I still doesn't know why u accepted you just 'will you marry me?'. Why didn't I get a romantic man in my life god.

After a series of chuckling. Dev asked me again." Do you?"

"I DO!"
