And just like that, India won the series and it was time to go back to India. The team left from there, the next day but Shubman decided to stay there for one more day and then he'd go. Because obviously, goodbyes are never easy, no matter how many times you've done it, how you've got habituated of being in a long-distance relationship, it always sucks the same way, it did the previous time. 
Shubman left the team hotel in the afternoon and then went to Sara's apartment. He comes inside. And he hears Sara's voice which was coming from the kitchen.
Sara: Helloooo!!! Welcome back!
Shubman: Thank you!!!
Shubman goes to the kitchen and sits on the countertop. 
Shubman: What's in the making?
Sara: Coffee!!
Shubman: I drink coffee only with you.
Sara: That makes me special then.
Shubman: So special. You've no idea.
Shubman holds her arms and pulls her closer to him. 
Sara ( blushes ): Ahh!! I have whisk in my hand. I'm making coffee. Let me do it first.
Shubman: Honestly, you would look cuter holding my hand but whatever...
Sara smiles and then stood on her toes to kiss him on his cheeks.
Shubman: Wow! Who needs coffee when I can have this?!
Sara: Now goooo!! I'll be there in a moment.
Sara pushes shubman to the living room and finishes making the coffee.
Then she enters the living room only to find him lying on the couch all covered with a blanket and was using his phone.
Sara: You feeling cold?
Shubman: I mean, it's always cold in here. 
Sara: Let me do a quick set-up then.
Shubman started looking at what she is doing. She turned on the heater, lit some candles, turned on the TV and played her favourite show, and then finally comes to sit beside him and gives him the coffee.
Sara: Now, move a little. How will I sit here?
Shubman shifted a bit to make enough space for Sara. 
Shubman: You know what?
Sara: Hmm?
Shubman: I'm trying not to think about about it but my mind is constantly thinking about tomorrow. 
Sara: I know! Even I'm struggling to fight with that emotion.
Shubman: Why do we have to do it again and again?
Sara: Because distance gives us a reason to love harder.
Shubman: Hmm... You're right.. But one day, I'll make sure to change this. From that day, there'll be no good byes and only good nights.
Shubman finishes his coffee and keeps his head on Sara's lap. Sara also started playing with his hairs and they both spend some quality time together.
Next morning, Shubman was all set to leave for the airport. Sara was going to see him off. They knew that they can't have an emotional good-bye moment at the airport so they hugged and showered each other with kisses and then left for the airport. Sara was driving the car and Shubman was constantly looking at his lady love.
Sara ( smiles): If you'll keep watching me like this, then how will I drive?
Shubman: You focus on my driving, I'll focus on you.
Sara: That's cheating!
Shubman: Achha suno.. I'm thinking about telling my parents right after reaching home.
