𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑

About a few weeks later as the match ended and the players began to make their way towards the dressing room, Shubman found himself walking behind the group, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Mithra. Spotting her standing alone in an empty hallway, engrossed in a phone call, he felt a surge of longing wash over him.

Unable to resist the pull of his emotions, Shubman made his way towards her, his heart pounding in his chest. As he approached, he could see the smile that lit up Mithra's face as she spoke into the phone, her laughter echoing softly in the empty corridor.

With a sense of determination, Shubman closed the distance between them, his steps faltering slightly as he reached out to touch her arm. Mithra turned towards him, her eyes widening in surprise as she registered his presence.

Before she could say a word, Shubman leaned in and pressed his lips against hers in a tender kiss, the warmth of his affection enveloping her like a comforting embrace. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the sweetness of the moment, the world around them fading into the background.

As quickly as it had begun, Shubman pulled back, a soft smile playing on his lips as he met Mithra's gaze. Without a word, he turned and made his way back towards the rest of the team, 

leaving her standing there with a stunned expression on her face.

Watching him walk away, Mithra couldn't help but feel a rush of happiness wash over her. The unexpected display of affection from Shubman filled her with a sense of joy and warmth, reaffirming the depth of their connection.

With a smile lingering on her lips, Mithra resumed her phone call, her heart still fluttering with the memory of Shubman's kiss. As she spoke, her mind replayed the moment over and over again, savouring the sweetness of their shared intimacy.

In that fleeting moment in the empty hallway, Shubman had managed to fill her heart with a sense of love and happiness that she knew would stay with her for a lifetime. And as she made her way back to the dressing room, a sense of gratitude washed over her, knowing that she had found someone who truly cherished her for who she was.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

As Shubman sat on the bench, still basking in the warmth of the moment he shared with Mithra, he couldn't help but steal glances in her direction. His heart swelled with pride as he watched her banter with Ishan and Siraj, her laughter filling the air with infectious joy.

Virat, who was sitting next to him, noticed Shubman's distraction and followed his gaze, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Looks like someone's got it bad," he teased, nudging Shubman playfully.

Shubman chuckled, his cheeks flushing slightly at Virat's comment. "Yeah, she's amazing," he admitted, his voice filled with affection.

KL, who was sitting on the other side of Shubman, couldn't help but join in on the teasing. "I have to admit, I've never seen you look at anyone the way you look at her," he remarked with a grin.

Shubman's smile widened at the observation, his gaze never leaving Mithra's form. "She's special," he replied simply, his voice tinged with warmth.

As they watched Mithra interact with Ishan and Siraj, the bond between them evident in their playful banter, Shubman felt a surge of gratitude wash over him. He knew that he was lucky to have Mithra in his life, and he was determined to cherish every moment they shared together.

Just then, Mithra glanced in Shubman's direction, catching his eye with a playful twinkle in her own. Shubman felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of her smile, his love for her growing stronger with each passing moment.
As Shubman noticed Mithra glancing at her watch and making her way out of the dressing room, a sense of urgency washed over him. Without a second thought, he jumped up from the bench, friends' laughter fading into the background as he focused solely on reaching her.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry, Shubman?" Virat called out, a playful smirk on his face as he watched his friend move with purpose.

Shubman flashed a quick grin in Virat's direction, his heart racing with anticipation. "I'll catch up with you guys later," he called back, his voice filled with determination.

With that, Shubman quickened his pace, weaving through the bustling crowd of players and staff as he made his way outside. His heart pounded in his chest as he spotted Mithra in the distance, her figure illuminated by the soft glow of the stadium lights.

As he drew closer, Shubman couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through him. He knew that he couldn't let this moment slip away – he had to seize the opportunity to be with Mithra, to show her just how much she meant to him.

"Mithra!" Shubman called out, his voice echoing in the quiet of the night as he finally reached her side.

Mithra turned towards him, a smile lighting up her face as she caught sight of him. "Hey, Shubman," she greeted warmly, her eyes sparkling with affection.
As Shubman wrapped his arms around Mithra's waist, pulling her close, she responded by wrapping her arms around his neck, their bodies melding together in a perfect embrace. A smile tugged at the corners of Shubman's lips as he felt Mithra's warmth against him, her presence filling him with a sense of peace and contentment.

Their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss, a silent exchange of love and affection that spoke volumes more than words ever could. Mithra's fingers found their way into Shubman's hair, gently tangling in the soft strands as they lost themselves in the moment, the world around them fading into insignificance.

Unbeknownst to them, their intimate moment had not gone unnoticed by their friends. Virat, KL, and Ishan exchanged knowing glances, smiles playing on their lips as they watched the couple with affectionate amusement.

"Well, would you look at that," Virat remarked with a chuckle, his eyes twinkling with mirth. "Looks like our boy Shubman finally found himself a keeper."

KL nodded in agreement, a fond smile on his face as he observed the couple. "They make a cute pair, don't they?" he commented, his voice filled with genuine warmth.

Ishan, ever the joker, couldn't resist adding his own two cents. "I think we're witnessing the birth of a new power couple," he joked, eliciting laughter from the group.

As Shubman and Mithra savoured their kiss, lost in the depth of their affection, they were unaware of the gentle ribbing from their friends. Their focus remained solely on each other, their hearts beating in sync as they revelled in the warmth of their embrace.

Mithra's fingers tangled in Shubman's hair, eliciting a soft sigh of contentment from him as he deepened the kiss. His arms tightened around her waist, pulling her even closer as if he never wanted to let her go.

Lost in the sweet oblivion of their love, they remained entwined, their lips moving in perfect harmony, each kiss a testament to the depth of their connection. Time seemed to stand still as they shared this intimate moment, the world fading away as they existed in their own little bubble of bliss.

But as the sounds of their friends' laughter reached their ears, Shubman and Mithra reluctantly broke apart, their cheeks flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and happiness. They turned to see Virat, KL, and Ishan grinning at them, their eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Looks like we interrupted something," Virat quipped, his voice laced with humor.

Shubman chuckled, his arm still draped around Mithra's waist. "Just a little moment between us," he replied, a hint of sheepishness in his tone.

Mithra couldn't help but smile, feeling a rush of affection for both Shubman and their friends. "Sorry for the PDA," she said with a playful grin, her cheeks still tinged with pink.

Ishan waved off her apology with a grin. "No need to apologize," he said. "We're just happy to see you two so happy."

With a shared laugh, the group fell into easy conversation, the playful banter and camaraderie filling the air with warmth. As they walked together, Shubman's arm still around Mithra, they knew that their bond was stronger than ever, their love a beacon of light in a world filled with uncertainty.

As the group walked together, their laughter echoing through the empty stadium corridors, Shubman couldn't help but steal glances at Mithra, his heart swelling with affection. He felt a sense of pride knowing that she was by his side, her presence bringing him a sense of comfort and joy.

As they reached the dressing room, the atmosphere was filled with a sense of camaraderie and excitement. The players chatted animatedly as they changed out of their cricket gear, their spirits buoyed by the victory they had just secured on the field.

Shubman found himself drawn to Mithra once again, his eyes lingering on her as she engaged in conversation with the other players' partners. He admired the way she effortlessly fit in with the group, her easygoing nature and infectious laughter lighting up the room.

"Mithra, can I talk to you for a moment?" Shubman asked, his voice soft as he approached her.Mithra turned towards him, a smile lighting up her face. "Of course, Shubman," she replied, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Leading her away from the bustling crowd, Shubman found a quiet corner of the dressing room where they could talk in private. As they stood facing each other, the air between them tinged with anticipation, Shubman took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts.

"Mithra, I just wanted to say thank you," he began, his voice filled with sincerity. "For everything. For being there for me, for supporting me, for loving me."

Mithra's eyes softened with emotion as she reached out to gently cup Shubman's cheek. "You don't have to thank me, Shubman," she said softly. "I love you, and I'll always be here for you, no matter what."

Shubman felt a swell of emotion rise in his chest at her words, his heart overflowing with love for the woman standing before him. Without hesitation, he leaned in and pressed a tender kiss to her lips, a silent expression of his gratitude and affection.

As they pulled away, their foreheads resting against each other, Shubman felt a sense of peace wash over him. In Mithra's arms, he found solace and strength, a love that he knew would sustain him through the highs and lows of life.

With a smile, Shubman took Mithra's hand in his, their fingers intertwining as they made their way back to join the rest of the group.

As they emerged from the dressing room, the group was greeted by the warm glow of the stadium lights illuminating the night sky. Rohit, ever the gracious host, suggested that they all go out for dinner to celebrate their victory.

"Hey, why don't we all go grab dinner together?" Rohit proposed, a smile playing on his lips. "It'll be a great way to cap off the day."

The idea was met with enthusiasm from the rest of the group. Virat nodded in agreement, his eyes alight with excitement. "That sounds like a fantastic idea," he chimed in. "I know a great restaurant nearby that we could go to."

KL and Ishan also voiced their approval, eager to continue the festivities with good food and great company. Mithra looked at Shubman with a grin, her eyes twinkling with anticipation. "What do you think, Shubman? Are you in?"

Shubman returned her smile, his heart swelling with happiness. "Absolutely," he replied, his voice filled with excitement. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

With their plans set, the group made their way out of the stadium, laughter and chatter filling the air as they walked together. As they reached the parking lot, they split into smaller groups, piling into cars and making their way to the restaurant Rohit had suggested.

Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was lively and bustling, the scent of delicious food wafting through the air. The group settled into a large table, their spirits high as they perused the menu and placed their orders.

As they waited for their food to arrive, the conversation flowed effortlessly, filled with laughter and camaraderie. Shubman found himself surrounded by friends who felt like family, their presence bringing him a sense of belonging and happiness.

As the evening progressed and the group's laughter grew louder, Shubman and Mithra couldn't resist the urge to engage in a bit of playful mischief.

"It's getting boring around here, isn't it?" Shubman whispered to Mithra, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

Mithra grinned, catching on to his playful mood. "Definitely. We should spice things up a bit," she replied, her voice low with excitement.

It started innocently enough with a playful exchange of glances across the table, their eyes sparkling with mischievous intent. Shubman discreetly slipped a small piece of lemon peel onto Mithra's plate when she wasn't looking, causing her to raise an eyebrow in amusement.

Mithra glanced down at her plate, suppressing a giggle as she discovered the unexpected addition. "Oh, trying to add some zest to my meal, are you?" she teased, shooting Shubman a playful smirk.

Not to be outdone, Mithra retaliated by discreetly pinching Shubman's side when he leaned in to grab a breadstick, eliciting a surprised yelp from him.

"Hey, watch it!" Shubman exclaimed, shooting Mithra a mock glare before breaking into a grin.

Their friends watched with amusement as the playful banter between the two escalated, each trying to outdo the other in their antics. Rohit and Virat exchanged knowing looks, sharing a silent understanding of the budding romance between their teammates.

Ishan, never one to miss out on the fun, joined in the game by subtly swapping Shubman's water glass with a glass of sparkling water, causing Shubman to take a sip and make a face of mock disgust.

"What's wrong? Don't like sparkling water?" Ishan teased, trying to suppress his laughter.

Shubman rolled his eyes, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Very funny," he retorted, shooting Ishan a playful smirk.

Not to be left out, KL attempted to balance a spoon on the edge of Shubman's glass, only for it to tumble into the water with a soft splash, earning a round of laughter from the group.

As the evening wore on, the playful exchanges continued, each member of the group joining in on the fun.

But amidst the laughter and mischief, Shubman and Mithra found themselves drawn to each other, their playful banter serving as a playful expression of their growing affection.

As the evening progressed and the playful banter reached its peak, Rohit suggested, "Alright, enough mischief for one night. How about we actually focus on eating now?"

Shubman, with a mischievous grin, added, "Yeah, otherwise, I might just steal all the food for myself!"

Mithra rolled her eyes, playfully swatting Shubman's arm. "You wouldn't dare!" she retorted, a hint of laughter in her voice.

Shubman chuckled, feigning innocence. "Hey, you never know! I can get pretty hungry after that cricket match."

Their friends laughed at the exchange, enjoying the lively atmosphere of the evening. Ishan chimed in, "Well, I, for one, am not sharing my dessert with anyone. So, hands off!"

Virat raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing. "Someone's possessive about their dessert. I'll make sure to stay out of your way."

KL, ever the peacemaker, interjected with a grin, "Alright, alright, let's not fight over food. There's plenty for everyone. Let's just enjoy the meal together."

Amidst the laughter and banter, the group settled down to enjoy their meal, the playful energy of the evening infusing every moment with joy and camaraderie. As they shared stories and jokes, Shubman couldn't help but steal glances at Mithra, his heart swelling with affection each time their eyes met.

Mithra noticed his gaze and couldn't resist teasing him, "See something you like?" she quipped, a playful twinkle in her eye.

Shubman grinned, unable to hide his admiration. "Always," he replied, his voice filled with warmth.

Their friends chuckled at their exchange, enjoying the easy camaraderie that filled the air. As the evening drew to a close and they prepared to leave the restaurant, Shubman and Mithra walked side by side, their hands brushing against each other.

Shubman took the opportunity to intertwine his fingers with Mithra's, relishing the warmth of her touch as they strolled down the street together.

Mithra smiled, squeezing his hand gently as they walked. "I had a great time tonight," she said, her voice soft with sincerity.

Shubman smiled back, his heart filled with joy. "Me too," he replied, his gaze never leaving hers.

As they walked, their steps slowed, allowing them to soak in the ambiance of the city around them. The gentle glow of streetlights illuminated their path, casting a warm, romantic hue over everything.

Rohit, who walked ahead with the others, glanced back and noticed the couple lagging behind. With a playful smirk, he called out, "Come on, you two! Don't get lost in your own little world back there!"

Shubman chuckled, giving Rohit a playful wave. "We're coming, we're coming," he replied, his eyes still locked with Mithra's.

Mithra giggled, her cheeks flushing with a hint of embarrassment. "We're not that far behind, Rohit," she called back, her tone light and teasing.

As they caught up with the rest of the group, Shubman and Mithra fell into step with them, their fingers still intertwined. The night air was cool against their skin, but the warmth of their shared affection kept them cozy.

Ishan, always one for mischief, couldn't resist poking fun at them. "You two were practically in your own little bubble back there," he remarked with a grin, nudging Shubman playfully.

Shubman chuckled, shooting Ishan a good-natured glare. "What can I say? When you're with the person you love, the rest of the world fades away," he replied, his tone sincere.

Mithra smiled, leaning her head against Shubman's shoulder. "He's right, you know," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

Their friends exchanged knowing glances, their smiles filled with affection for the couple. As they walked on, the city lights twinkling above them, Shubman and Mithra knew that they were exactly where they were meant to be – together, in love, and ready to face whatever adventures awaited them.
