Even If The World Was Ending

13. Surprise

*before you guys proceed, the World Cup matches and schedule will slightly differ. To make the plot interesting, major changes in result and batting line up can also be done😅*

Days apart felt like years apart for Shubman.

To distract himself from thinking about his boyfriend 24/7 he practised with his father daily, in their big backyard.

His dad, was his superman and Shubman held highest level of respect for him. Since he was a kid, Shubman was he's dad's favourite, and the entire Gill family knew that. But also, Shahneel was always pampered more in absence of Shubman.

One day while practising Shubman received a video call from Ishan. Before he could pick it, his father picked it up. "Arey ye meri jaan kaun ha?" His dad asked, his eyebrows scrunched and Shubman's eyes widened. Before he could utter even a single word, by mistake, Shubman's dad picked his call.

"Hi Ba- Oh Hi uncle? Kaise ho?! Kitne dino ke baad" Ishan sat upright as he spoke, realising that the person who picked the call was not his boyfriend but his father. Thankfully he was wearing a Shirt.

"Arey Ishan beta kaise ho! Mujhe laga ki Shubman ki koi girlfriend hai. Ye meri jaan karke naam save kiya hai tera so confuse hua tha" Shubman's father said in embarrassment and scratched his neck. A habit Shubman gets it from his dad. Ishan tried to hide his smirk at the comment.

"Oh.. woh hum na mazak mazak mein aise karte rehte hai Uncle. Pata hai iska naam bhi main Baby karke save kiya. Woh sabse chota hai na team mein.. isliye" Ishan said and both of them laughed. Shubman's eyes widened and mentally slapped his forehead.

"Accha koi na.. Tum kab aa rahe ho idher batao mujhe? Chalo..tum log ka chalne do. Main aata hoon" he handed the phone to Shubman and left.

"Abey saale.. ek kaan ke niche baja ne ka man kiya mujhe. Main tera boyfriend hoon isliye thik hain.. agar koi aur hota na, jaan hi jati uski" Ishan said, sighed and now more in relaxing state.

Shubman just giggled sheepishly. Shubman kept his phone straight as a support on his kit, the bat on his leg and he drank water from his bottle. To cool his head he poured some on his head and later shaked it, to dry his hair.

But what an amazing scene was Ishan witnessing. And Ishan had no shame in telling that 'yes he was drooling' since it was HIS boyfriend.

When Shubman turned towards Ishan, he noticed his smirk. Ishan slowly whistled in a catcalling way and Shubman just blushed.

Just when he picked his phone back, Ishan cut the call. Shubman frowned thinking what just happened. He started walking towards his house, slightly pissed.

Soon he received a normal call from Ishan. He picked up instantly. "Kya hua?" Shubman asked.

On the other end of the call Ishan sighed. "After giving such a sexy show, you expect me to stay calm and composed on a video call?" Ishan replied huskily.

Shubman's face turned a shade darker almost with a crimson hue. One could blame the Sun for this result but indeed it was 5'6 guy from Bihar who was responsible for this.

"Itna blush mat karu baby, char log sochenge ki girlfriend se baat kar rahe ho" Ishan said and laughed.

Shubman's eyes widened and he said defensively "Konsa blush? Tumhe kaise pata ki main blush kar raha hoon?" Shubman turned his head and searched for Ishan.

"Dhondo mat mujhe.. aur 2 din ki baat hai, tab milenge. I know you are blushing because I know you. I know every inch of your body, I know every secret. And you meri jaan, you're my most dirty secret." Ishan said the last sentence huskily.
