Stolen Heart

Truly, madly, deeply in love

So Shubman casually liked a reel on Instagram that speculated, "What if Sara and Khushpreet Singh are dating?" This simple action created a lot of buzz on social media. Shubman's fangirls started creating happiness of their own, while the shippers of Shubman and Sara were left puzzled and anxious.

Shubman, focused on his upcoming match against the Netherlands, was unaware of the social media frenzy his like had caused. He had more important matters to attend to, like preparing for the game. However, Jugnu, who always kept an eye on social media trends, noticed the growing drama.

Jugnu (muttering to himself): This is getting out of hand. Why did Shubman even like that reel?

He quickly calls Sebastian.

Jugnu: Seb, we need to fix this. Did you see the buzz about that reel Shubman liked?

Sebastian: Yeah, I noticed.

Jugnu: Shubman is on the field right now. We can't bother him with this. Just remove the like. We don't need this distraction before the match.

Sebastian: Got it. I'll take care of it right away.

Sebastian quickly unliked the reel and hence put an end to the drama. Later that day, India won the match against the Netherlands with ease.
Shubman returned to the hotel and facetimed Sara. It had become somewhat of a routine for him to call his lady love before going to sleep otherwise the lover boy in him would make him feel all restless.

Shubman: Saraaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Sara: No, wait!! Before you say anything, let me appreciate your game first. You played so well, today. I'm so proud of youuu!!! You always make me so proud!! The proudest girlfriend everr!!! And loved your bowling as well. Hahaha!!

Shubman: Thank you, cutiee!! Coming from you, it actually means a lot. But let's just not talk about the match. Let's talk about you.

Sara: Meee???

Shubman: Yeah!!

Sara: What do you want to talk about me?

Shubman (in one go): Like how beautiful you really are?? Do you notice it when you look in the mirror? God... I WANT TO HOLD YOUR FACE and squish it so bad. I wish I was kissing you right now. Honestly, I'd give anything to kiss you.

Sara (teases): Oh, Shub!! You're such a hopeless romantic. It's a shame you're alone right now.

Shubman: I know, right? So, should we start... umm... over the phone?

Sara: NOOOO!!!

Shubman: But whyyyyy????

Sara: You should get some rest. Your body needs to recover after playing for so long.

Shubman: Yeah!! So help me recover??

Sara: I'm not talking about "that" kind of recovery.

Shubman: Let's talk about it then.

Sara: Two more matches to go, Mr. Boyfriend!!! And then we'll talk in detail.

Shubman: Ahaaa!!! Can't wait to lift the trophy and then spend some quality "recovery" time with you.

Sara: You know what? Let's go somewhere after the finals.

Shubman: Perfect!! London chale??

Sara: Chalooo!!!!!!

Shubman: Alright, ma'am!!

Sara: Sleep now. You have a flight to catch tomorrow.

Shubman: To Mumbai! I'm coming to see you.
