Second chance on love !!

Isha's POV:
                                  Oh my god I'll go crazy. I don't know what I should do?? Shubman asked me out, he asked me to go on a date with him. I was so lost in my thoughts. I don't know why but I'm feeling afraid, what if I'll fall for him and he won't feel the same for me. What if I'll be in love with him and he will never feel that way for me. I don't have enough courage to get hurt again. I came to our room, I was getting crazy just then I heard a knock on my door, I turned around and saw Bhabhi. She came in smiling sweetly and hugged me tight running her fingers through my hairs. "What happened darling??" She asked me pulling apart and making me sit on our bed. I looked at her and she smiled softly, "bhabhi I-" I stopped in between. She smiled, "don't worry sweetie, I know Shub asked you out?? You just tell me what's going on in your mind??" She asked taking my hand in hers. I looked at her and tears starts to form in my eyes. "Bhabhi I am not ready to get hurt again, I know Shubman is really very good, caring and sweet person. Bhabhi I'm afraid of falling again. I know Shub would never let me down, he'll be right there beside me. I'm not doubting on him. But what if I'll fall for Shub and he won't?? What if I'll be in love with him and he won't feel the same?? Please bhabhi I don't I just don't know what should I do??" I said resting my head in her lap and she caressed my head with so much love. "Just this much thing and you are freaking out?? I'm always here got your back okay?? And about Shub, baby I'm sure he didn't meant that. Okay tell me one thing haven't you ever gone for siblings date?? Or friends date?? Hmm" she asked looking at me. I nodded my head in yes. "So you and Shub are best friends so I think this is a besties date.. and besides, I know Shub very well, if you'll ever fall for him, he'll fall harder for you. It's my gut feeling. So just don't stress and go out with your bestie, and celebrate your birthday" she said. I nodded and she placed a small kiss on my head. "Bhabhi, I love you" I said giving her a tight hug. She chuckled and said, "I love you too darling." Once we got back down Shub asked me to go and I looked at him and smiled while I nodded my head. We get going and Shub took me out for a gaming date. We had lots of fun and even Shub buys me a big white teddy bear along with other small stuffed toys. I was very happy and to be honest I'm so much in love with Shub right now. "Shub thank you, I had a fun date" I said and he blushed. I can't believe my eyes that he is blushing, the man who makes every girl blush in the stadium looking at him, is blushing because of me. "Anything for you bestie" he said. I blushed a little and looked at him looking at me while we sat in the car waiting for the signal to get green. And as soon as we reached home all the lights were off. I turned to look at Shub but he also wasn't there. I was scared a little. "Shub, Shub, Shubman, bhai??? Bhabhi?? Ishan where are you guys?? Shubman please stop this prank now. I'm getting scared Shuuubbbb" and suddenly there was a loud scream of people SURPRISE. All the lights were on and the home was decorated fully and even both our families were present there. "Oh my goodness, thank you. Mom-Dad?? Bhaiya??? Oh my gosh what a surprise... and Mamma - Dad aap log to Shadi me gaye the, and when did you guys do this all?? Ishan ?? Bhabhi?? Bhai?" I asked them surprised. All of them started singing the birthday song and I was so happy. I looked around but didn't find Shub anywhere. Just after everyone wished me, Shub came with a cake in his hands and some papers bound in red ribbon. I looked at him, "you planned all of this??" I asked him. He smiled wide showing his dimples, "yeah, it's your birthday and I do have a big surprise for you" he said. He put the cake on the table and handed me the papers. I looked at him confused and then looked at Ishan and Bhai. They both gave me a nod and smile. I opened the papers slowly, it was a letter from BCCI. It's his selection letter. I had tears flowing down my eyes. I was so happy and I looked up to Shub and threw my arms around him hugging him tightly. "I'm so happy Shub. Finally your hardwork paid off. Y- you are se-selected for the tournament. I'm so happy, I knew you'll do it, I know you can make it" I stuttered. Shubman was soothing me rubbing my head and holding me close by my waist, "I know but why are you crying??" He chuckled. "It's like, pehli baar bhagwan se kuch manga tha aur unhone itni jaldi de bhi diya" I sobbed. He placed a small kiss on my head. We all celebrated well and when everyone were free and finally in their rooms, I took a jug of water and went upstairs to our room. I opened the door and found Shub sitting in a swing of our room's balcony. I placed the jug on Shub's bedside table. I went to the walk in closet and changed myself in my lounge wear. I went to the balcony and offered Shub his vitamins and glass of water as per my habit. He took it and asked me to sit beside him. I kept the glass on the small table in balcony and sat beside him. I looked at the moon as it was full moon night today, "moon is looking so beautiful" I said. He hummed in response. "Thank you so much Shubman, I loved the surprise and thank you so much to do so much efforts. It's been amazing I had an awesome birthday ever" I thanked him. "Thank you so much Isha, just thank you for everything" he said looking me in my eyes. "Thank you for what??" I asked him confused. He turned towards me and held my hands in his, "if it weren't you I wouldn't probably have moved on from my heartbreak. Thank you for being with me when I needed someone so badly. You've never judged me, never tried to change me or never expected anything from me. Isha I know you were also heartbroken and you also needed someone. I feel so guilty that you fought all alone to all your problems, fears and feelings, to all your insecurities and then also you've been smiling always. You loved and supported my family like I'll or bhai or Ishan would do or I can say even better than us. You became the most precious part of our lives, either it's Dadu-Dadi or Mom-Dad or bhabhi and all three of us brothers. Even Vamika can't live without you for a day. Isha you truly came to my life when I was collapsed, when I had nothing and I was just a body without soul and feelings. You made so many efforts and you suffered too, but you never let anyone down, you constantly made me do all the things I can to recover. You never gave up on me. I don't know how would I be able to thank you for all this. If I'm alive, if I'm here standing tall and strong today, if I'm selected for the T-20 squad today it's all because of you. You truely are a goddess and I'll never get enough of worshiping you. Isha I-I I don't know how to say this or what we'll do or where our lives would take us but I'm sure about one thing, I'll always got your back. Isha I'd like to spend my whole life with you, holding your hand in mine, watching you cheer for me from the stands. Thank you for everything you did, thank you for everything you'd do" he said. I was crying by now and he was too. "Shubman, please don't cry. I never knew you'd think this much for me. Please I'm not doing anything for free. I have my purpose behind it, I never liked anyone to see cry. Doing everything I do gives me my utter happiness, watching everyone smile and satisfied around me makes me happy. I'm doing all of this just to see the smiles on all our family's face. Shubman please mat roiye mujhe bahot bura lagta hai" I tried to calm him down while I sobbed. "Isha, you deserve everything, every happiness in this world, and I'm willing to fulfil all your desires and dreams, you've been by my side when I lost everything even I lost myself. So now I'll never leave you behind when I'm getting everything back. I'll always hold you close and will protect you from the world. Isha, would you like to take SECOND CHANCE ON LOVE?? Cause I'm willing to. I'll never ever let you down, or I'll never leave your side. We can take baby steps if it doesn't work there's nothing that will affect our relation and if it'll work, darling our life will be most beautiful. Would you do the honour to be my SOULMATE??" He asked sitting on his knees infront of me. I wasn't able to speak so I just nodded. He got up and hugged me tightly.
