I am concerned about all of them but specially Shubman. Do I like him? Yes.
Do I like him more than anyone else? Also yes.
But will I ever tell him that? No.
He always tells me about a girl who he likes.
She somewhat looks like me and blah blah blah.

I don't know her but I would love to punch her in the face.
I asked him to show her picture, but he never did.
And now, I am leaving. I will meet someone else.

There he is. Stood in the crease like it's his own kingdom and he will not let anyone other than his people win this.

That's what caught my attention from the very beginning.
His confidence.
His style, ofcourse.
He is so simple yet so elegant.
I love that.
I am a sucker for fashion. Definitely.

And one thing, the only thing that I imagined, happened.
He looked at me after hitting a six and smiled.
That's how this feels?
Leave butterflies. I feel elephants.

Not a very great reference but I am not in that state of mind.
He smiled at me after hitting a six.
Shit.
I am freaking out.
People are looking at me.

But then, reality sinked in.

"She will here tomorrow, you can meet her" His words. He told me this while coming out of the restaurant yesterday.

He thought I was her?
That's impossible right?
I mean, It is kind of hard to look from there. That too when it's a little dark.

My heart broke.

I left. I left the seat. I was about to leave the room too when Shubman caught my hand.

SHUBMAN'S POV

I didn't plan on doing that.
But when I saw the TOI email, asking her to be present there by 8 'o' clock in the morning, tomorrow, I lost it.

Lost it because she didn't tell me.
Lost it because I can't be with her anymore.
Lost it because she isn't obliged to tell me and
Finally lost it because, I don't get to tell her how I feel. Ever.

I needed a moment with her and I decided it's going to be this.

I looked at her. I needed to tell her that all the sentences I spoke to her about another woman is not about anyone else. It's about her.
She is it.
I needed her to know that.

But I saw her. She was upset.
I messed up and I have no one to blame except me.

Shit. What did I think will happen?
Oh my god, Shubman. I love you?
That's what will happen? .
Shit.

After all the presentation and stuff, I ran to the room.

There she was. Tears falling down from her cheeks which made my heart break a little.
A little more because I caused them.

Arshpreet: I am glad you are in love with her.
Me: I am not in- who?
Arshpreet: That woman. I don't know. Woman who looks like me and something.
Me: So?
Arshpreet: Nothing. I am glad.
Me: Are you sad?
Arshpreet: Ofcourse not. I just like crying.
Me: I am sorry.
Arshpreet: You didn't know.
Me: But I shouldn't have.
Arshpreet: you cannot control your feelings.
Me: I know but-
Arshpreet: Go to her, Shubman.
Me: I- What??
Arshpreet: That woman who you love, go to her.
Me: You didn't get the point?
Ishaan: What just happened out there?
Arshpreet: Nothing. I am just leaving.
Me: No you are not. Give us five.

They did. They left. 
Ofcourse after warning me with their eyes.

Me: It is you, Arshpreet Kaur Dhillon.
It was you, it is you.
Arshpreet: You talked about me, to me?
Me: Yeah.
Arshpreet: Do you think this is some kind of critical reasoning session where you give me a puzzle and I need to find out?
Me: No. ofcourse not. But, I needed someone to understand me. You were the only person who I thought about sharing everything too.
So I shared this too. I always told you that it was you. You just didn't get that.

ARSHPREET'S POV

Maybe I did. Maybe I just didn't want to be wrong. To get my heart broken. To hope that he might be talking about me.

Were there days when I hoped and prayed that I was the girl? Yes

So, wait. I hated me for this long?
Shit dude.

Shubman: Please go out on a date with me?

And I smiled.

After 2 years.....

It's been 2 years since we started dating.
I am now the social media manager in TOI.

We both have a lot on our plates and this long distance is draining us TBH but It's worth it when I look at him after all that wait.

And today, I am in Park Hyatt, Hyderabad.
I need to interview the captains of each IPL team.

Abhay: It's been so damn long Arsh!
Me: I know. I missed you all.
Shubman: Hello. Sorry I am late.
Ishaan: You do know that she won't ever start anything without you, right?
Shubman: That's not true.
Me: It is and I am okay with that.
Ishaan: Ufff! When are you getting married?
Me: You sound like my neighbour.
Shubman: Soon.

I heard a promise in his voice and saw how serious he is in his eyes.
And that is enough for  today
