Interviewer: "The mic is working properly?"

Sharmili: "Yes it's perfectly fine"

Shubman: "Yep"

Interviewer signals the camera man and the director that they are ready to shoot.

Action

Interviewer: "Hello Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing great? We are back to the fifteenth episode of Hit Wicket my Heart. Today we have the most anticipated couple with us. Let us welcome the our handsome captain Shubman Gill and his pretty wife Dr. Sharmili Chatterjee.

Sharmili: "Thank you so much Tanya"

Tanya: "My pleasure Sharmili Shubman
               Okay so we start with our little qna session
               Where did you guys meet?"

Shubman and Sharmili shared a smile.

Shubman: "Online. It's actually a long story. *To Sharmili* Should I tell or you will?"

Sharmili: "Tum bolo"

Shubman: "You know Tanya, Sharmili had a Fanpage. She shared a reel like uk tab chalta tha na? If my idol comments then I'll top wala kuch?"

Tanya: "Hm hm I remember"

Shubman: "Haan toh Maine us reel pe comment kiya tha. Phir aur kya? She actually topped that semester. Then she had given a story that Shubman I actually topped that semester and kept my promise. Mai generally tagged stories dekhta nahi but idk us hi din I checked and found her story. I congratulated her on that and yes that was the biggest turning point of my life

Sharmili: "It was something ethereal trust me. I never ever expected that he would reply to me. And wahi se baat karne lage...

Shubman: "Aur baat karte karte ekdin pyaar ho gaya"

Sharmili: *swatting his hand*"Don't be so cheesy Shub"

Tanya: "Nevermind this is cute yaar. So when did you guys actually meet?"

Shubman: "Well it was a bit scare tbh. Main Kolkata aaya tha kuch shoot ke liye and airport se hotel mein Jaa Raha tha. My car stopped infront of a huge crowd. I got out of the car to see a horrific sight. My god that was Sharmili. I took her to the hospital and that's pretty much how we met"

Tanya: "Painful yet Filmy I must say"

Sharmili: "Thoda Moda nahi it was hella filmy Tanya. Trust me it was like a dream."

Shubman: *pressing Sharmili's palm*"It is like a dream actually."

Tanya smiled seeing this love birds.

Tanya: "Everyone obviously remembers that The Proposal. So Sharmili you knew that it was coming?"

Sharmili: "No no not at all I mean I had no idea. When I was pulled down the stairs by him, I felt he was asking me to join the celebrations. Then suddenly we were in the middle of the pitch. Trust me I was so confused.

Shubman: *laughing* "Yaa she was also asking for an explanation"

Sharmili: "It was like a fairytale. Look I'm still having goosebumps"

Tanya: "I know Sharmili it was something different. Tumhare husband ne Puri duniya ki expectations badha di"

Sharmili: *winking* "I know I know!"

Tanya: "Okay so now tell me about the Day. Your marriage"

Shubman: January 2029.........

flashback

Sharmili: "Shubman is anything wrong? Why the heck are you calling me call me now? It's 3:00 a.m. in the night."

Shubman: "Main 12 baje se leta huya hu neend nahi aa rahi yaar"

Sharmili: "Gas ho gaya kya? Have a medicine.

Shubman: "Miss doctor, there might be other reasons also. Why do you always conclude to gas yaar?"

Sharmili: "Haan there could be. Did you have coffee?"

Shubman: "Nahi tum chup karo aur meri baat suno!"

Sharmili: "Shubman Aaj ek knee replacement surgery tha main 12 baje Ghar ghusi hu I'm hella tired yaar. Ishan ko call karke tang Karo na. Woh to abhi game khel Raha hoga"

Shubmam: "Haan toh use boldu ki mere se shaadi Karo?"

Sharmili: "Hmm bo... Kya??"

Shubman: "Haan. It's five years of our engagement... Shouldn't we get married now? Tumhara MS complete ho gaya, main bhi apne career mein more or less settle kar chuka hu. It's high time yaar! I want to live with you now."

Sharmili: "You have a point but beech raat mein yesab kaun sochta hai bhai. So jao kal subah baat karenge"

Shubman: "Ae main important baat kar raha hu tumhe bas sone ki padi hai, mujhe tumse shaadi karni hai samjho yaar"

Sharmili: *sleepily* "Accha karenge shaadi. Abhi koi match watch nahi hai na aa jaao mummy papa ko leke Kolkata phir Maa Baba se milke date fix karlo."

Shubman: "Pakka na??"

Sharmili: "Haan haan sautaka jao ab so jao"

Shubman: "Thikhai!! Goooodestttt nighttt"

Sharmili: "Goodest kuch nahi hota thoda English seekh lo gadhe" and she hanged the phone."

The next day when Sharmili came back from hospital she saw a car parked outside their house. Evidently it was Shubman's car.

She got inside to see all the parents gathered together having a round table meeting.

Mr. Gill: "Dekho aa gayi finally aap. Aap ke baare mein hi toh baat ho rahi thi. Aaiye aaiye"

Sharmili: *taking their blessings* "Are mummy papa? Mast surprise hai!"

Mrs. Gill: *kissing her on the cheeks* "Kitni pyaari lag rahi ho!"

Shubman: "Surprise? Kal hi nahi technically Aaj hi, baat Hui na?"

Sharmili: *confused* "Hainn? Kaisi baat?"

Shubman: "Are pagal wagal ho kya tum? Tumne hi toh bola ki aa jao subah?!"

Sharmili: "Matla... *realising* Ohh ohh yaar Maine neend mein kya bol diya tum...." *started laughing*

Shubman: *getting sad immediately* "Tum serious nahi ho?"

Mrs. Chatterjee: "Are wo serious hai ki nahi hai koi farak nahi padta Shubi. Hum serious hain na? Wahi kaafi hai"

Shubman: *hugging Mrs Chatterjee* "Haan maa"

Mr. Chatterjee: "Sharmili humne date dekhliya Panditji se baat karke. Isi mahine 16 taarik ko ek accha date hai. Usi din shaadi fix kar rahe hain"

Sharmili: "Ajeeb log ho sab. Shaadi meri aur mujhe Bina puch ke sab theek karliya sabne?"

Shubman: "Jhooth mat bolo Haan. Sabse pehle tumhi se poocha maine. Yadasht nahi hai tumhari mujhe kaise maalum? Kuch bhi!"

Mr. Gill: "Beta tumhe koi problem hai? Bolo phir koi baat nahi hai"

Sharmili: "Nahi papa, *sarcastic* bechara peeche ghum Raha hai itne dino se ab shaadi kar hi lete Hain"

Everyone started laughing.

Sharmili: "Are tumlog dekhlena mujhe saari waari mujhe time nahi hoga please. Aise hi shaadi ke liye Maine ek hafta chutti li hai. Phir agle mahine Mumbai mein transfer hai aisa kaise chalega"

Shubman: "Theek hai main lene aa raha hu tumhe"

Sharmili: "Shubman main...*he cut the call* Mere muh pe call kat diya? Itni himmat??"

After a while Shubman came to the hospital. Crowd was gathering around him. Sharmili had just completed a surgery and was going to the OPD to see if there were more paitents.

Sharmili was heading towards the OPD when she collided with a person and the person held her tightly close to himself.

Sharmili: "Sorry sorry sir I didn't see..*looking up to see Shubman* Tum?"

She immediately tried to free herself from his grip but it tightened.

Shubman: "Haanji main. Apni hone waali beevi se milne aaya hu. Kaha Hain thoda bata dengi?"

Sharmili: "Aapki hone waali beevi aapke saath Jana nahi chahti sir. Ab mujhe chhoddiye mujhe kaam hai"

Shubman: "Agar wo mere saath nahi jayegi toh main hi aapko nahi chhodunga okay?"

Sharmili: *trying to get away from his grip* "Shubman yeh hospital hai!"

Shubman: *pulling her closer* "Aur aap meri fiance Hain"

Sharmili: *rolling her eyes* "urrghhh you are so fucking disgusting. Bahar wait karo main aati hu"

Shubman: *winking* "Jo huzur sahiba"

The big day was so so near. Today was their Mehendi and Sangeet ceremony. Sharmili had wished for their wedding to be held in Kolkata so the PC Chandra Garden was their wedding venue.

(A/n: This is the PC Chandra Garden for reference. As far as I know this is the most expensive wedding banquet in Kolkata.)

Sharmili was donned in a beautiful Rani pink lehenga while Shubman wore a Royal Blue Sherwani, their outfits contrasting.

Shubman and Sharmili were seated in the front row while the whole auditorium was filled with guests. The close relatives of both the families and the ICT family ofcourse!

Ishan: *entering the stage* "Subho Sondha shobai ke. Ajker ei special din er jonno ami ektu Bangla sikhechi. Bhul hoga toh please khoma kar dena. (Good evening everyone. I have learnt a bit of Bengali for this special occasion. If I say something wrong then please pardon me)
Of course I am today's anchor aur hum sab aaj bohot bohot maze karenge because none other than my very own boyfriend kal hamare ghar mein meri sautan laane wala hai"

Everyone bursted out laughing at this comment.

Ishan: "Sharmili this is not done ha? Main shaadi ke baad sab badla lunga! By the way, Shubi tujhe dance wance aata bhi hai?"

Shubman: *shouting so that it is audible* "Tujhse accha aata hai!"

Ishan: "Accha accha toh aa jaaiye stage par aur proof bhi de diye!"

Shubman got up from his seat and tugged Sharmili to get up as well. They both went to the stage.

Ishan: "Tujhe akela bulaya tha. Abse kya aise gum ke jaisa chipka rahega bhabhi ji se?"

Shubman: "Maine tujhe apni bivi girlfriend se chipakne ko kabhi mana kiya? Tune shaadi nahi ki isme main kya karu yaar?"

Rohit: *shouting* "Tumlog baad mein apne bakwas jhagde karna abhi wo wo haina use lagao!"

Virat: "He means gaana lagao"

Ishan: "Haan laga Raha hu na baba. Meri baat kisiko sunni hi nahi hoti hai!"

Ishan got down from the stage and played Dilliwali Girlfriend. It was a bashing performance!

Ishan: *getting onto the stage after the performance ended* "Gaana ekdam perfect tha, just thoda lyrics change hoga. Shubman Sharmili ke paas apne Biharwale boyfriend ko chhod ke aaya hai"

One by one there were many performances. The members from the ICT family danced, cousins of Shubman and Sharmili had a performance. Shahneel di and Sharmili's sister had a performance.

There was obviously a mandatory Bole Chudiya and Mehendi Laga ke Rakhna performance. The amazing super duper night ended with a 'typical talli chachaji' dance on Ainvayi Ainvayi by the ICT boys! (A/n: the way Faf pronounces it😭)

── •✧• ──

The Day. The Big day was heree!!!!!
Shubman and Sharmili were getting married!

The morning started with the haldi rituals. Shubman wore a white dhoti and wore a white silk cloth like a shawl whereas Sharmili wore a yellow embroidered saree. (A/N: They were getting married according to the Bengali rituals cuz ladkiwaalo ke niyam anusaar shadi hoti hai if uk)

The event started with putting a partition with a cloth between the bride and the groom. The haldi ceremony started... The married woman were only allowed to participate in the rituals.

They put the haldi paste on Shubman's face,hands, legs and chest. Then the remaining haldi was put on Sharmili. Then they were bathed with cold water.

Shubman was typically getting desperate because he wasn't allowed to see Sharmili the whole day before the wedding.

Shubman: "What is this fucking niyam yaar?"

Yash: "Kal Tak to ek saath tha. Ekdin ke liye tereko itni khujli ho rahi hai?"

Shubman: "Tune to Shaadi karli. Teri biwi tere saath rehti hai. Tu kya samjhega?"

Shreyas: "Baat to sahi hai. Koi nahi Shubman aur kuch ghanta sabr karle. Phir to maze hi maze hai"

Yuzi: "Din mein Raat mein..... Bohot maze Hain"

Rohit: *pointing towards him and Virat* "Do bade buzurg log baithe hai tumlogo me sharam lihaaz naam ki koi cheez to hai naki. Mereko Shanti se kabhi khaane nahi dete. Kya yaar"

Virat: "Tu hoga buzurg. Mai to abhi bhi ekdam Jawan hu"

Rohit: *smirking* "Haan mujhe dikhta hai na.. do do din mein kamar mein kheech lag jaati hai aur Jawan"

Shubman: "Hutt koi meri problem hi nahi samajh raha"

Ishan: "Tu muh band kar aur jaake thikse naha ke aa. Haldi laga ke baitha hai kabse!"

── •✧• ──

Pandit ji: Jamai er shob niyom hoye gache. Ebar kone ke niye ashun. (All rituals with the son-in-law are completed. Now ask the bride to come)

Sharmili was brought to the mandap on a pidi held by her cousins and Ishan. She was donned in a beautiful Red Benarasi Sari, like a typical Bengali bride. She no way wanted to continue with the same pastel wedding trend.

Shubman was standing in the mandap, while Sharmili was being encircled around him, seven times altogether. Shubman was wearing a dhoti and a kurta. (A/n: Just imagine Shubman in a  typical Bengali look. Main abhi se pighal Jaa Rahi hu bro)

Panditji: "Subhodristi r shomoye hoye gache, eibar paan pata ta shorao" (Is it the time for Subhodristi, remove the betel leaves you're holding infront of your face)

Sharmili slowly removed the Paan-Pata while Shubman was staring at her with the most desperate look ever.

When she throw away the leaves, Shubman was dumbfounded for a while, unable to speak for a moment.

Sharmili: *swaying hands infront of him* "Hey! You okay?"

Shubman: *mouth kinda open* "Not at all"

Sharmili: *blushing and looking away* "Shubman this is a public place!"

Everyone started laughing.

It was a hella entertainer of a wedding. Shubman couldn't just tear his eyes off her and they were continuously getting teased for that.

Finally the Pandit ji handed vermillion to Shubman and asked him to fill her hair partition.

Shubman: "Ready to be Mrs Gill?"

Ishan: "Ready to be my sautan?"

Shubman and Sharmili in unison : "Shutup Ishan"

Ishan: "Haan haan chup kar Raha hu"

Sharmili: *nodding* "Ready to be Mrs Gill!"

Shubman took e moment to look at her and then filled her partition with sindoor.

Aah such a sight!

Shubman couldn't control himself anymore and plunged a kiss on Sharmili's lips. Sharmili was too shocked at first, a kiss that too infront of so many people?! But all her thoughts dissolved and she kissed him back. A soft, smooth and beautiful kiss. A moment of pure bliss.

Bro that was a fucking Big Day!

Shubman: "..... and that is pretty how everything happened "

Tanya: "This was nothing less than a bollywood movie trust me. I'm so sure that this is going to be 'The Wedding' for years to come."

Shubman: "I still don't feel that it's two years today. The memories are still so fresh!"

Sharmili: *interrupting suddenly* "Tanya..... could you please cut for a moment?"

The director cut the shot immediately.

Shubman: "Is anything wrong?"

Sharmili: "Yep I'm feeling nauseating"

Tanya: "Sharmili there's a doctor in our crew, should I call him?"

Shubman: "Yes please immediately call him" "holding Sharmili close to him* "you are okay?"

Sharmili: "I'm okay Shubman itna panic karne ka koi baat nahi hai"

Shubman: "You just shutup and let the doctor examine you"

Sharmili: *rolling her eyes* "I'm a doctor as well dumb!"

Shubman: "I k tum chup karo"

The doctor comes in and Sharmili politely asks the people inside the room to go out for a while. The doctor examines her for a while and looks at Sharmili with anticipation.

Doctor: "Is it what I think?"

Sharmili: "I think so. Not done any test but..."

Shubman: *utterly confused and tensed* "What? What test? Kya huya hai use?"

Doctor: *winks* "Sir I think it would be better if mam breaks the news"

Saying so the doctor leaves.

Shubman: *so dumb that he is still confused* "Kya Sharmili what happened mujhe kuch to bolo I'm so fucking tensed what is the doctor thinking tumne bhi sir hila diya aur mujhe ku..."

Sharmili: *cutting him off* "Shubman we are pregnant"

Shubman: "..ch samajh nahi... KYA? PREGNANT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ? HOW WOULD YOU?"

Sharmili: *laughing and annoyed* "Bhadwe ho kya? Kaise pregnant hote hain nahi pata?"

Shubman sits down for a while. Lost in deep thoughts.... and suddenly he pulls Sharmili into a bear hug, the tightest hug possible!

Shubman: *still in the hug* "Sharmili you're serious?"

Sharmili: "I think so"

Tears of joy were streaming down from both of their eyes, soaking into each other's cloth.

Shubman: "I love you"

Sharmili: "I love you too"
