Simran's POV

I clutched my slightly grown stomach smiling happily to myself. It all seemed so surreal. It felt like yesterday I was a teen crushing over a cricketer, watching his matches on repeat and today I'm becoming the mother of his child.

Shubman Gill the one who made me feel like the best woman on earth.

End of POV

Simran drifted off into her flashback. It all started during the 2019 IPL which by far was the best season according to her.

It was KKR vs Rajasthan Royals.  (completely imagining this)  Simran had come to support her beloved KKR and was naturally on the tip of her toes.

She had come with her cousin Shivakansha (who was also her bestie) who had managed to get VIP tickets and that managed to double her excitement.

She tried to squirm out of Shivakansha how she managed to get VIP tickets but all she said was "just wait till the end of the match!"

She badly hoped that Shubman would play well today, he really was the reason that her obsession for cricket went up.

"You know Shivi all I really want is for KKR to lift the cup this year." Simran said in the midst of the match gazing at the field dreamily.

"And may I ask why?" Shivi questioned back.

"They're a team filled with talent and deserve to win the cup." Simran replied.

"Aaah ok sure, it definitely doesn't have anything to do with Shubman being in the team does it." Shivi teased.

"Ohh shut up Shivi," Simran cried while trying to hide her blush.

"Oooh I didn't know my Simi blushes too," Shivakansha teased again only to be given a glare by Simran which made her immediately shut up.

The match was eventually over with KKR winning which was no surprise considering the deadly form their players were in.

The cousins jumped with joy and moreover Shubman had hit the winning six leaving Simran beaming with joy.

"Ok Simi I told you that you'd find out how we got VIP tickets at the end of the match right so come I'll show you how," Shivi said to a jumping Simran

"Ok but make it quick. I've got to sneak back into the house too. Mumma doesn't know that I'm out watching a match." Simran cried.

"Ok come!" Kritika cried while grabbing Simran's arm and running off as if she was to find someone.

They eventually ran off to a place where no one was exactly meant to be unless you were meeting someone in the team.

"Shivi where are we?" an impatient Simran shouted.

"Shush we can't let anyone spot us here," Shivi whispered and took a quick peek at her phone and all of a sudden she said "Close your eyes!"

"Huh?" Simran cried confused.

"Just do what I say!"

Simran obeyed completely bewildered as to what got into her cousin's brain.

She heard footsteps approach and then Shivi saying "open your eyes!"

Simran opened her eyes only to be given the biggest shock of her life. The one and only Shubman Gill standing infront of her giving out his million dollar smile.

"Shivvviiii I missed you mannn!" Shubman cried.

"Shut up Shub! You barely even talk to any of us anymore!" Shivi replied slapping his arm slightly while Simran stood there dumbfounded.

"Oh by the way this is my cousin Simran, she's a huge fan!" Shivi said emphasising on the word fan while Shub chuckled and Simran glared at her.

Shubman extended his hand out and said in a friendly manner "Hi Simran."

"Hi, you can call me Simmi!" Simran replied.

"Then the same goes for you, call me Shub," Shubman replied.

They had engaged in small talk for a few minutes and then Shivi and Shubman had a long extended conversation which mainly included Shivi telling Shub off for not keeping in touch.

"Umm hey Shivi I kinda need to go back home. Can we leave," Simran said unwillingly afterall she had Shubman Gill infront of her.

"Oh yeah oops, let's go. Bye Shub!" She exclaimed and reached in for a hug.

Shubman hugged her back and then reached forward to hug Simran who reciprocated and said "Bye girls!"

The girls ran out and Simran in a better mood than ever before.

As soon as they got out Simran turned to Shivi and asked hastily "How on Earth do you know Shubman Gill and why have you never told me before?!"

"Calm down Simi, he was a college mate and we got close in the last two years. And if I told you today would have never been this special to you would it?" Shivi replied.

"I'm still offended that you didn't tell me!" Simran said with fake anger.

"Yeah yeah, stop faking. Let's go back now."

"Humph, ok let's go!" Simran said while Shivi chuckled.

                  ________________

That night both Simran and Shubman were lost in their thoughts.

Simran's POV

What a day it was! First KKR wins the match, second I meet Shubman Gill and third he even hugged me. It took all the effort not to jump and dance like an idiot.

This day could not get any better.

Shubman's POV

Shivi called me a couple days back saying that she wanted tickets to our next match and I obviously gave them to her. She was one of my closest friends afterall.

She told me she wanted me to meet someone and so I agreed. I never really had the ability to say no to her.

We played the match well and then I remembered that Shivi wanted me too meet someone so I left to find them.

I came to the place and saw the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was wearing the KKR jersey and jeans and had a small clutch with minimal makeup.

Her smile was captivating and her voice was so sweet.

Urghh that's so cringy! Shub you don't do cringy! But she made me feel good. Her innocence was so cute.

I decided I'm going to get her number so I called up Shivi to get Simran's number. Shivi immediately picked up.

"Hello Shub. What do you mean by calling at this late at night?" Shivi replied sleepily.

"Heeeyyyy, can you give me Simran's number?" I asked in a sugar coated voice.

"Seriously Shub, this is what you call me for. Urgh I forwarded you her number now let me sleep!" she exclaimed and hung up. She really is a mini kumbhkaran, she can give competition to Rohit Bhai too.

I received a number and immediately saved it as "Simi ❤️" and started chatting.

END OF POV.

Simran's POV

I opened my phone and saw an unknown number messaging me.

Unknown number: Hi Simi

Me: Umm who is this, how did you get my number and name?

*No response*

I decided to check the profile picture and saw a picture of Shubman. I had a slight doubt that it might have been Shub so I texted the number again.

Me: Shub?

Unknown number: Sahi pakde madam.

I smiled to myself and started blushing and changed the contact to "Shub ❤️" .

Shub: you there?

Me: yeah was just saving your number

Me: How did you get my number btw?

Shub: I kinda asked Shivi and she was sleeping and she does anything when she's sleepy. She just needs her sleep🤣🤣🤣

Me: Hahahaha that's Shivi for you 🤪

Shub: Hahaha yeah

Me: You played well today btw

Shub: Thanks Simi❤️❤️

Shub: Btw you support KKR?

Me: Yeah I really want you guys to win this year fingers crossed🤞

Shub: we appreciate the support 😂😂

Shub: I have a question

Me: shoot

Shub: did you really not know that I knew Shivi?

Me: no I didn't, Shivi is an idiot. She's a couple months older than me and she was promoted to the next year so we ended up in my different colleges.

Shub: ohhh

End of POV

They continued talking like that till they decided it was too late and they needed to sleep.

                ______________

Shubman and Simran talked regularly till both grew stronger feelings for the other.

One day Shubman decided it was time to express his feelings for Simran. He decided to call Shivakansha to ask her for help.

"Shivuuuuu I need help." Shubman whined

"What now?" Shivi sighed exasperated.

"I want ........ you know.... propose to Simran but don't know how to. " Shub said shyly

"Wait wait wait, did you just say you're planning on proposing to Simi. Dude are you serious. When did this love happen?" Shivi started screaming

"Umm I don't know it just happened. All I know is that I love her and I want her in my life." Shub said

"And you need my help to propose to my own cousin, great." Shivi said faking frustration. "Ok here's the plan."  And she tells the plan

"That's perfect Shivi. I love you, you're the best!!" Shub exclaimed hugging her.

"Aha I'll tell Simi!" Shivi teased.

"You won't!" Shub glared.

"Ok ok I won't but hurry up and make preparations!"

                    _____________

The next morning Simran received a letter that said

"I've got a day off, let's spend the day binge watching movies?

P.S. wear that floral dress you bought last week.

-Shub"

Simran loves movies and a whole day of binge watching movies with her crush seemed like the best idea to her.

She quickly changed into a floral dress and put on her normal minimal makeup and rushed quickly to Shubman's place. She opened the  slightly ajar door only to be greeted with silence.

She stepped in and walked into the living room making herself comfortable when she saw a second letter.

"Go into the lounge room I've got something for you,"

Simran obeyed the letter while calling out "Shub where are you?" multiple times.

She walked into the lounge and sat down on a reclining sofa. Her eyes caught something new around the place and she saw a bouquet.

Curious, she walked towards it and something else caught her eye. The mirror. There was something written on it.

She moved closer to read it and couldn't believe her eyes.

It said "I love you Simran!"

Simi pinched herself once. Twice. Thrice.

IT WAS TRUE!

She turned around with tear filled eyes to find Shubman holding the bouquet in his arms smiling.

She ran up to him and hugged him in delight sobbing silently.

"I'm taking that as a yes," Shub teased.

"I love you too Shub! I always have!" Simi said still sobbing.

                   ______________

Simran formed a great bond with Shubman's friends and teammates and vice versa. 

Their love grew with time and in due course their marriage was on the cards.

You can say it was no less than a big fat Indian wedding!

Abhishek dancing mad! The Indian team doing everything to cause trouble and entertainment and Shivi joining in! It was pure madness and both Simi and Shub would have wanted it any other way.

It was just perfect.

             ___________________

"Simi" a manly voice cried breaking Simran out of her flashback.

"Coming Shub," Simi cried back.

"I can't believe we're becoming parents Simi!" Shubman exclaimed in a child like manner.

"Me too! I was just thinking about how this all started. It felt like yesterday!!" Simi said happily.

The both hugged happily.

"By the way what should we name him?" Simi asked

"How are you so sure it's a him?" Shub questioned back.

"I just have an instinct!" Simi chuckled. "Just tell me a name!"

"Yuvaan. I've always loved that name." Shub said.

"So it is then Yuvaan Shubman Gill," Simi exclaimed happily. "Perfect!"

Shub just smiled and they shared a hug.

         * A few months later *

On 8th September their baby boy was born. And coincidence is that it happened to be the same day Shubman was born and this made Shubman the happiest man.

As soon as the he was allowed in, Shubman barged into the room to meet his beloved wife and son.

He held his son Yuvaan in his arms eyes filled with tears and looked towards his smiling wife.

He leaned towards her kissed her forehead and whispered "Best birthday ever!"
