ABHISHEK

"What a beautiful shot by Abhishek Sharma there!" Said the commentator.

5 runs off 3 balls now.

"And there goes the ball out of the stadium. India win the match and the series too!"

Shubman engulfed me in a tight hug.

We let go off each other and the first thing I did was look at the balcony.

Aish stood there, clapping her hands with a huge smile on her face.

I stepped into the dressing room only to be tackled by sweaty hugs.

Someone played a punjabi music and all of us danced, before I walked away to take a shower.

Post shower, I pulled over a black fit tshirt with a pair of white sweats and flip flops, before walking back into the dressing room.

We were finally done with the series, which I might add, we won 2-1 against Australia, and were flying down to India tomorrow in the afternoon.

I wore my India zipper jacket and carried my kit before walking out of the dressing room with Shubman.

Aish, Riya, Dhriti, Manjot, Mayank and Kamlesh stood in the hallway, talking to each other.

Slipping my arms around Aish's waist, I hugged her from behind.

"Hi beautiful." I said.

"Congratulations!" She exclaimed, turning around and engulfing me in a hug.

"You were amazing! I'm so proud of you." She added, kissing my cheek before pulling away to look at me.

"Thank you." I chuckled.

"Shubman! Congratulations." She said, now turning to Shubman to hug him.

"Thanks Aish." He grinned, hugging her back.

Yeah, everyone calls Zaisha Aish now, and not Aishi. This means I have to search for a new nickname.

After Dhriti and Riya congratulated us, we all walked out of the stadium.

While the girls climbed into the bus, the boys and I stayed out and clicked pictures with the fans.

After we were done, we climbed into the bus. While Manjot and Kamlesh sat together, I sat with Aish, Mayank with Dhriti, and Shubman with Riya.

Right, Shubman and Riya are dating. It's been almost two years. A year after Aish and I started dating, Riya broke up with her boyfriend as he cheated on her. Shubman and Riya grew close thereafter.

Speaking about the girls, all three are into modelling now. Right after they graduated they tried for it for about a few months before getting a big breakthrough. The three have also been featured on the Vogue India magazine. Not to forget, they also signed up a five year contract with the IMG Modeling Agency.

This also means that sometimes it's long distance between me and Aish, but we some how manage things up and make our relationship work.

Speaking about Aish now, the girl got two offers from bollywood but rejected both, saying she isn't interested.

There was a time when she was so much into dancing and bollywood and now she isn't interested at all.

"What're you thinking?" Aish asked me.

"You." I winked.

She playfully rolled her eyes, before saying, "Bowled over beauty." and flipping her hair.

I chuckled and pulled her closer to me.

"I'm so tired." She said, yawning.

"You just sat there, watching the match." I said, laughing at her.

"Shut up." She chuckled.

"I'm going to sleep, wake me up when we arrive at the hotel, please?"

"Okay." I said, smiling at her.

She smiled back before keeping her head on my shoulder and holding my hand.

I'm so lucky to have her in my life.

Initially when we started dating, things were at peace. One and a half year later when I made it into the playing eleven, there were no such problems either, that was until Aish and I stepped out of a club in Mumbai; hand in hand.

False rumours were made and there were just too many things going on. A year later when things didn't stop and paparazzis followed us everywhere, I took it to my social media and declared that we were dating.

Obviously, Aish recieved a lot of hate. Sometimes because of my performance and sometimes for no reason at all.

The thing which both Aish and I dreaded about became true too. People bashed her for drinking, called her an alcoholic, false shit was written about her and our relationship in magazines. Things were really hard for us, especially for Aish.

I've seen her cry because of the hate she received and the things written about her. And to be honest, I was scared that she'd leave me because of all this.

She also started receiving death threats from some of my female fans too. Even though I tweeted about how wrong it was of them to do that, so many times, things didn't stop.

But even after all this, she was always there by my side, supporting me and wishing the best for me.

After Aish got the IMG contract, she doesn't drink or smoke much. In fact, she has quit smoking and rarely drinks now.

Surprising, isn't it?

Aish and I have been through so much together, and I guess, that's what made our relationship stronger than ever.

The best thing is that, both Aish and I, have almost three months off now, which means we'd be together for three months.

Looking down at a now sleeping Aish, the only thing I could think about, was how lucky I got.
