"I am so sorry,"

"I am so sorry,"

"I am so sorry,"

"I am so sorry,"

"I am so sorry,"

"Why did you stopped? There are still 31 times left till you reach 150," Ishan said looking at his husband who was laying down on the floor breathing heavily.

Manu, Sammy, Vamika and Urvashi giggled seeing Shubman in this state.

"I am sorry jaan," Shubman tiredly let out while breathing heavily.

"Sorry won't cut anything, you are teaching our kids such bad and explicit things, " Ishan scowled.

"I am sorry babe, I just got carried away. I was too excited to tell them about our story. It still feels like a dream for me to have an angel like husband you know." Shubman said pouting.

"Angel? But Dada said Papa is fairy?" Urvashi said tilting her head.

Ishan glared at Shubman who had his eyes widened as well.

"I-I can explain, I didn't meant it as fairy kind of fairy. It was the good fsiries like in her children book. I swear I didn't meant it like that," Shubman said.

"Don't you dare talk to me right now. I am done with you," Ishan scowled walking upstairs.

"Uh oh, Is Papa mad? Will he not eat dinner with us?" Urvashi looked at Shubman who patted her head before following Ishan upstairs.

"Urvashi, I am sure they are just playing adult game. Shall we watch their wedding recordings till they come back?" Manu said so that Urvashi would not get sad.

Urvashi quickly nodded her head as they all went towards the couch and settled themselves there.

The girls were munching on snacks while watching the recording of finale of World Cup, 2027.

Ishan proposed Shubman right after he was done giving his speech for the player of tournament.

He had been thinking for a while now, of proposing Shubman. He even always carried the ring with him in his purse. Way before the world cup started.

It was then only when his purse accidentally fell on the room, everyone were coming to change after celebrating the grand win of 2027 world cup.

The adrenaline was still high, New Zealand had been a tough team to compete with. But still India won the finals and brought the trophy home.

Nobody noticed the ring box toppling out of the purse, being too busy gushing about their win.

After all it was the last world cup of their seniors. Rohit and Virat even were going to announce their retirement the next day.

Rahul saw Ishan picking up the ring box hastily only for the ring to sneak out of the box.

The ring landed just beside his shoe. He picked up the ring only to look at Ishan staring at him with a horrified look.

"What happened Ish?" He asked when Ishan tried to quickly take the ring from his hand.

"I-I-I nothing...it's just a wrong sized ring. I was going to return it," He stuttered while quickly putting it back in the box and throwing the ring box inside his purse.

"That was a couple ring," Rahul deadpanned.

"It is not!" Ishan squealed a bit too loudly.

This made everyone look at them.

"What happened?" Rohit asked.

"Ishan had couple rings with his and Shubman's name engraved on it. It looked like engagement rings," Rahul spoke.

"How do you know what was engraved on the other ring?" Ishan asked.

"Your name was written on one so I guessed for the other, why? Is Shubman's name not written on the other one?" Rahul raised his eyebrows.

"Ishan you are cheating on Shubman? You are already engaged to someone else?" Rishabh gasped only for Shreyas to slap his head.

"Aee tu kabhi acha bhi soch liya kar...Ishu you and Shubi are already engaged? And you didn't even told us?" Siraj spoke.

[Atleast think positive for once]

"Noo...we aren't engaged...I-I was thinking of proposing him but never got a good opportunity." Ishan confessed feeling shy all of a sudden.

Everyone hooted and teased Ishan at that.

"Wait wait wait...your perfect opportunity is here!" Virat said and everyone looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Shubman has just gone to give his player of the tournament speech, the stadium is still full because the night show is still left and we had just won the world cup...so you can get your perfect moment by proposing him right on the stadium just after he completes his speech?" Virat explained and everyone started humming.

"No...I am not ready right now," Ishan protested but nobody listened as they pulled him and the ring box out of the room. This was definitely the best moment.

They all came back to the stadium with a whining Ishan who was too nervous to even protest.

The whole stadium erupted in murmurs suddenly seeing the team India on the ground again.

Nobody know what was happening.

Shubman was taken aback for a second when the crowd broke out in loud murmurs but continued on with his speech without noticing his team members right behind him.

"Jaa naa" Rohit nudged Ishan who gave a shaky nod taking a few steps over the stage.

[Go Ishu]

Virat had silenced the staff and they all let Ishan bend down on one knee just behind Shubman and taking the ringbox on his hands.

His hands felt clammy as his body shook with nervousness.

His heart beat was too strong that he couldn't even hear anyone not even Shubman's speech which was going on for way too long.

Finally just when Shubman turned back after bidding thank you to everyone the whole crowd started cheering and clapping loudly.

"Ish? What's this...?"Shubman had his mouth agape looking at Ishan who was now internally dead with nervousness because of the people and also the members cheering for him.

"I-I-I" *THUD*

Ishan passed out on the ground because of the nervousness. He couldn't even say anything.

The speech he had been reciting way too many times in the past three four months had gone to waste because he couldn't let out a single word.

---

Ishan groaned waking up in his room. Shubman was sitting on the bed with the ring box in his hand.

Memories of what just happened came rushing back as the tip of his ears turned red.

"You're up? Do you need anything? Water?" Shubman asked quickly picking up a glass and filling it water and giving it to Ishan.

Ishan chugged down the glass before putting it back on the nightstand.

"I am such a loser," Ishan mewled out after he regained his voice.

Shubman was smiling widely as he pulled him into a tight hug.

"Don't belittle my boyfriend like that. He bought such fancy rings with our initial engraved on it." Shubman said ruffling his hair.

"But I wanted everything to be perfect...I shouldn't have listened to Virat bhaiya...I wasn't ready at that moment. I couldn't even tell you all the things I have been reciting since so long. I wasted such a perfect opportu- mmph"

Shubman pulled Ishan for a kiss cutting off his rambling.

He pressed his lips against Ishan kissing him deeper. His body interlaces with Ishan making Ishan melt against him.

They slowly pulled away with Shubman breathing heavily, his breath fanning over Ishan's cheeks.

"Shu-"

There was a loud bang and the whole ict team was inside the room toppling on the floor with the door wide open.

"Guys?" Ishan asked.

"We were just walking to our room, Rishu gave me a push in the hallway you know and we all started playing in the corridor so we accidentally toppled here," Siraj spoke.

"And why is Virat bhaiya holding a camera in his hand?" Shubman raised his eyebrows.

"This- Ahh this is nothing..." Virat murmured closing the camcorder.

And the recording stopped.

"Our uncles are so wild," Manu snorted with a sleeping Urvashi in her lap.

"For real, hey Urvashi is sleeping?" Sammy said looking at her sleeping with a finger in her mouth.

"She must be tired," Manu hummed.

"So should we not watch the wedding?" Vamika asked

"Let's just wait till both the uncle come downstairs, then we all can watch the wedding recording together? I am sure Urvashi will wake up by then. It's her nap timing only so she would be awake in no time." Manu replied.

"Shall we watch an episode of Love in the air 3 then?"

"Yeas please! I want to watch the valentine special episode. It released just 2 days ago,"

"Wait it did? I didn't watched it yet,"

"Me too let's watch it!"
