35. World cup

Aashna's pov:

The World Cup camaraderie has started. The team is yet to be declared. I have the confidence that Shubman will get selected for it.

But I hope he gets the opening like always.

He had been working really hard and has been very hard on himself for the past 2 months.

And he told me beforehand that he is going to be busy and it should not affect what we have.

And I guess he was right.

He wakes up early, goes to the gym for 3 hours, then comes home and eats according to his strict diet. Then in the afternoon, he goes to training sessions of 3 to 4 hours and returns home till 8 p.m. and then he eats and sleeps early.

So we don't get a lot of time with each other.

I wanted him to meet my parents but he wanted no distractions till the World Cup ends.

And I agree with his decision, I know how much cricket means to him.

The land that he bought in Chandigarh, we have started the construction over that area. Our house will be fully completed and furnished till the wedding.

I'm so excited to live with him under the same roof, sleep next to him every single night and see his face as the first thing when I wake up in the morning.

He told me to take care of the furniture and tones and details of the house because he thinks I can do it better than him. While he took care of mapping and raw materials.

His ex teammate's wid
I felt a bit bad for keeping him invested with this while he was already busy but.....we need our own house! And he has to do what he got to.

The World Cup tournament will begin in about 20 days in Dubai.

I will be going only if Shubman gets to play just to support him, because....yk...I have no interest in cricket apart from him.

I only watch matches till he is playing, once he gets out, I turn off the TV and only keep checking if his team won.

He is really nervous about the selection and calls me whenever he feels the anxiety rising, I swear he will hurt if he doesn't get selected, he is working very hard.

I pray to God everyday for him. I hope God listens to me like everytime.

Suddenly, my phone rings and I pause my TV on which Shinchan was playing.

I pick it up as soon as I see his caller ID.

"Shubm-" "Babyyyy!! Guess what? I got selected!" He shouted excitedly.

"What??! Yayyy, I'm so happy for you! Congratu-" He cuts me off again.

"And that too in top order, opening and....." He trailed off.

"And? Shub?" I asked him.

"And I'm the vice-captain." He said.

I gasped.

"What!! Omgggg baby! This is great news! I wish I was with you so I can hug you and kiss you!!" I said with a pout.

"Ummhhwaahhh" He pecked jn the call making me laugh and I pecked him back.

Goodness, we are lovesick.

"Ab toh tumhe aana hi padega with me to Dubai, I'm gonna need you there!" He said making my heart melt.

"Of course I'll come, yeh bhi koi kehne ki baat he? Family hi toh kaam aati he, in times of need!" I said.

"What did I do to deserve you?" Shubman asked me making my heart stop.
