After the Gujarat Titans clinched the IPL title in a thrilling final match, the entire team erupted into jubilant celebrations. Shubman, along with his teammates, basked in the glory of their hard-earned victory, their faces alight with joy and excitement.

Hardik, the captain of the Gujarat Titans, took charge of organizing the celebratory party. He made sure to extend an invitation to Mithra, recognizing her integral role in capturing the team's journey throughout the season.

"Mithra, you have to come to the party tonight! We wouldn't be celebrating this victory without you," Hardik insisted, a warm smile gracing his face.

Mithra hesitated at first, feeling uncertain about intruding on the team's celebration. "Oh, I don't know, Hardik. This is your moment, and I don't want to impose."

But Hardik and Kane Williamson, another key player in the team, wouldn't take no for an answer. "Nonsense, Mithra! You're a part of this team just as much as anyone else. We want you there with us," Kane chimed in, his friendly demeanor putting Mithra at ease.

With their insistence, Mithra finally relented, grateful for their inclusive gesture. She quickly freshened up and slipped into a sleek black dress that fell just above her knees, pairing it with strappy heels that added a touch of elegance to her ensemble. Her hair was pulled back into a loose, messy bun, framing her face in soft tendrils.

As she made her way to the party venue, camera in hand, Mithra felt a flutter of excitement mingled with nervous anticipation. She was eager to celebrate the Titans' victory alongside her friends and teammates, yet couldn't shake the slight apprehension of being the only non-player amidst the revelry.

When she arrived at the party, she was greeted warmly by her teammates, who welcomed her with open arms. Shubman, dressed in a sleek black satin shirt with the top buttons undone, paired with blue jeans, caught her eye immediately. His easy smile and confident demeanour melted away any lingering doubts Mithra had about attending the celebration.

"Hey, Mits! So glad you could make it," Shubman exclaimed, pulling her into a tight hug. Mithra returned the embrace, feeling a sense of belonging wash over her as she took in the lively atmosphere of the party. The room was filled with laughter and chatter, the air thick with the scent of food and drinks. 

"You look stunning, by the way," Shubman answers making her smile. "Aw, thanks! You're not looking too bad yourself, Mr. Champion. "

Shubman laughs nudging her before answering. " Just trying to keep up with your style, Mits."

As the night progressed, Mithra found herself caught up in the excitement of the festivities. She laughed and danced with her teammates, capturing candid moments with her camera and preserving the memories of this unforgettable night.

As she glanced around the room, her heart swelled with pride at the sight of Shubman and the Gujarat Titans, their faces radiant with happiness and triumph. 

At that moment, Mithra knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be surrounded by friends, celebrating the sweet taste of victory, and looking forward to the next chapter of their journey together.

"Damn they really know how to throw a party," Mithra answered as Shubman threw his arm over her shoulder. "True that. But hey we did win a trophy," he chuckled.

Amidst the pulsating beats of music and the infectious energy of the victory party, Shubman and Mithra found themselves dancing closely, lost in the rhythm of the celebration. The media, discreetly capturing moments from the sidelines, focused on the undeniable chemistry between the childhood friends. The laughter, the shared glances, and the easy camaraderie painted a picture that spoke of a connection that went beyond mere friendship.

As Shubman twirled Mithra on the dance floor, the camera lenses zoomed in on the subtle intimacy of the moment. Unbeknownst to the two friends, the media captured images that suggested a closeness that went beyond the boundaries of their known history. The joy of the celebration, combined with the genuine affection they shared, became the focal point of the media's narrative.

In the midst of the festivities, Hardik Pandya, the team captain, noticed the unobtrusive presence of photographers. Aware of Shubman and Mithra's long-standing friendship, he assumed the media was simply capturing the general euphoria of the night. Little did he know that the lens had zoomed in on moments that hinted at a story waiting to be told.

The night wore on, with the dance floor transforming into a vibrant spectacle of celebration. Shubman and Mithra, still unaware of the media's watchful eyes, continued to enjoy the night with the rest of the team. 

"Damn man, I'm tired. You want a drink?" she asked as Shubman nodded. "How do these people dance so much," he whined making her laugh.

The party continued in full swing, with laughter, music, and joy echoing through the venue. Shubman, having taken a moment to catch his breath, noticed Mithra engaged in an animated conversation with the wives and girlfriends of the team members. 

They exchanged stories, shared laughter, and seemed to be enjoying the camaraderie that extended beyond the boundaries of the cricket field.

In the midst of the celebration, Shubman's phone buzzed with a notification. Curious, he checked it, only to find a flurry of articles featuring him and Mithra circulating in the media. The headlines hinted at a blossoming romance between the childhood friends, painting a narrative that went beyond the truth.

Shubman's expression shifted from surprise to amusement as he scrolled through the articles. He couldn't help but chuckle at the sensationalized stories that depicted their friendship as something more. He pocketed his phone, deciding to address the situation later.

As Shubman approached Mithra, who was still engaged in conversation with the team members' significant others, he couldn't resist teasing her about the newfound gossip.

"Hey, Mithra, it seems like we've become the hottest topic in town," he remarked, a playful glint in his eyes. Mithra, still unaware of the media storm that had unfolded, raised an eyebrow, "Oh really? What did we do now?"

Shubman flashed his phone screen at her, revealing the headlines that suggested a romantic connection between them. Mithra's eyes widened in surprise as she scanned the articles.

"Well, this is unexpected," she mused, a bemused smile playing on her lips. Shubman laughed, "Seems like our celebration last night painted a different picture for the media. They're having a field day with our 'romance.'"

Mithra rolled her eyes playfully, "Oh, the drama." she joked making him laugh.

The two childhood friends, now unintentionally at the centre of a media frenzy, continued to enjoy the party with an added layer of amusement. As they mingled with teammates, friends, and their significant others, the rumours and speculations surrounding their relationship became an underlying theme of the celebration.
