Shubman's POV:

I was in my room going through instagram when my eyes caught Shivi's post. It was along a guy and not some random guy but a famous businessman. I tapped on the comment section and was going through comments. Some were admiring the duo, some were shipping them, and some were hate comments.

The photos irked me and the thing that I nearly hated was their closeness. They seemed like couples. Him back hugging her, them going on dinner and everything about him. She went out even after knowing I wasn't well. One of the comments in which I was mentioned, stated that "see what your girl's doing" I don't know why but I smiled instantly upon seeing it but later shrugged the thought. 

In no time, I realized that the feelings I was having are not at all normal and needs to be cleared. I decided to go to the garden and clear my mind a bit. While I came to the garden of the hotel I saw Shivina and the guy coming to the entrance that was behind me. On their way back, Shivina came to me asking about my health and introducing her friend.

Shivina: hey Shubi! How are you now?

Shubman: pehle se better hun!

Shivina: btw this is my friend Karan Mehta the owner of Kinexa group of companies and Karan this is Shubman u might know him already

Karan: oh yeh who doesn't knows him! Nice meeting you Shubman!

Shubman: Same here Karan!

Shivina: tu yahan itni raat ko? Why are you not resting?

Shubman: wasn't feeling well!

Shivina: you should have called di or sara!

Shubman: So that mean's I shouldn't call you

Shivina: it's not like that u can call me but I was out aur di aur sara toh hotel mein hi hongi na

Shubman: anyways thank you I'll get going

I headed towards the hotel entrance leaving behind a confused Shivina, who might have several questions in her head right now.

Author's POV:

Shubman thought Shivina might be confused of his behavior but guess what she knew why he behaved that way and just wanted to ignore every thoughts regarding to him.

Shivina: chal thore der garden mein baithte hain

Karan: Ohk ma'am as you say

The duo sat on the bench, in silence and peace with cold breeze blowing through. He side hugged her and sat while caressing her hair and she sat their eating the dark chocolate he gave her. It's a ritual for him to get dark chocolates whenever he's with her. There was peace not knowing someone's watching them from the balcony of his room, with an unknown yearning in his eyes.

After sitting for a while the duo headed towards the elevator going on their respective rooms.

Shivina's POV:

I came out of the elevator as the elevator went up to the 8th floor in which Karan's room was present. The corridor had dim lights as it was already night and but enough for stuffs to be visible. My eyes caught a black silhouette, stood in front of my room, an unknown fear built in me. Getting closer to the silhouette I could see Shubman's face. Am I so in love that I'm hallucinating about him.

He waved his hand in front of me, and I came out of the useless thought going on in my head. He's real, but why he is here that too at such time. I walked towards him silently, calming down my curious ass.

Shivina: Shubman! what happened? 

Shubman: bs neend nahi aa rahi toh socha tujhse baat kar lun! Shivi dekh I'm sorry jaisa maine neeche behave kiya rudely I shouldn't have

Shivina: it's ok! it might be the match pressure

Shubman: u understand me so well, thank you Shivi!

Shivina: I'm your friend, obviously I would understand you!

Shubman didn't said any thing but just passed a smile to her.

Shubman: Raat bohot hogayi hai I'll get going!

Shivina: yeah! good night!

With a short convo we ended up in our room, drifting to slumber with numerous thoughts and questions in my head.

Author's POV:

Today is the Ind vs Afg match and currently all WAGs including Shivina and Nivisha are getting ready for the match. Shivina wore a grey denim knee length dress, accessorizing it with rings in her index and ring finger and a small dial metallic rolex on her wrist, along with a white pair of sneakers from gucci.

Today Shubman was also accompanying the team to stadium, in the team bus. The WAGs were travelling in two cars with Shivina, Shahneel, Karan and Nivisha in one car, while Sanjana, Anushka, Natasa and Ritika in another.

They reached the stadium in no time, and headed towards the stands. Sara and her family were travelling separately, and were in the other suite. 

In no time the match started as Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat first. Afghanistan didn't have a very good start with just 28 runs in 6 overs. The first wicket was down at 32 runs as Ibrahim got out at 22 runs in 27 balls. The second wicket was down as Gurbaaz got out in 21 runs. 

One more wicket was down in the very next over. For the next few overs Afg had a stable match with a partnership of 121 runs in 126 balls. Hardik once again took a wicket in the 2nd ball of the 34th over. The 5th wicket was taken by Kuldeep, and wickets kept falling one after another. In one of the overs Bumrah took 2 wickets, increasing the no. of wickets down. 

Shubman, Shivina, Shahneel, Nivisha and Karan were sitting together in the stands and Shivina somewhere knew this could be a rise to a new rumor. 

Shubman: Shivi mujhe kuch baat karni hai!

Shivina: bol

Shubman: mujhe teri help chahiye kal k liye

Shivina: aisa kya hai kal?

She thought to act all unknown as she thought he must be talking about her birthday which is on 12th Oct.

Shubman: arey kal Sara ka bday hai 

Shivina's smile was instantly replaced with a poker face, which she instantly shrugged putting on a fake smile.

[Ps: Coincidentally my b'day is also on the same day as Sara's i.e., 12th of Oct.]

Shivina: and how can I help you sir

Shubman: I need your help in planning a perfect evening for her.

Shivina: ok!... what kind of a person is Sara!? Like she likes party aur a simple evening.

Shubman: Simple evening

Shivina: ohk then you guys can go out tomorrow evening on shopping, candle light dinner and a long drive.

Shubman: great idea Shivi ab itna kuch bata hi diya hai toh restaurant bhi bata de acha sa aur shopping center bhi

While their planning session was going on, on the other hand the first inning ended with a target of 273 to be chased in 300 balls.

About half an hour later, the second inning started as Rohit and Ishan came to open for India. Rohit completed his 50 in 30 balls and in no time also completed his 100 in 63 balls. On the other hand Ishan was close to his 50 but unfortunately got out on 47, as our first wicket was down. 

Rohit got out in 131, and Shreyas came on his place, with Virat on Ishan's place. The duo had a great partnership of 62 runs and now India needed 4 runs in 91 balls. Virat finished the match with hitting a four to the off side, taking India towards a tremendous victory by 8 wickets.
