They say time heals all wounds - but what if time only sharpens the pain?

Aradhya Kohli, 25, is fierce, savage, and unapologetically real - a woman who doesn't bow down to anyone. After four years of heartbreak and distance, she's back in Mumbai, armed with a degree from London and a prestigious job as the new team physiotherapist for BCCI.

What she didn't expect? Him.

Shubman Gill - now 26, India's cricket heartthrob, known for his aggressive batting style and even more aggressive personality. Possessive, grumpy, with anger issues as intense as his passion for the game - and the one woman he could never forget.

They were each other's everything once. Until long-distance, misunderstandings, and unspoken words tore them apart.

Now, thrown together by fate and a shared past they pretend to hate, sparks are ready to fly - the fiery kind.

But buried beneath the cold stares, sarcastic jabs, and unresolved tension... is a love that never really left.

Because some stories never end - they just wait for the right time to begin again.

A Shubman Gill fanfiction There are some people you never really get over. Not because you still love them-sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. But because what happened between you and them carved something so deep, even time walks around it carefully. For Rhea Merchant, Shubman Gill was that person. They weren't just college sweethearts-they were gravity. He was the rising cricket star with charm, ambition, and the world at his feet. She was the fiercely intelligent psychology major who saw past his fame and into the boy beneath. Their love was built in libraries, whispered during bus rides to outstation matches, and sealed under moonlit rooftops in Delhi. The kind of love people wrote poetry about. Until it broke. Until a scandal exploded that nearly destroyed Shubman's career, and all the evidence pointed to the one person he trusted most: Rhea. She didn't defend herself. He didn't ask twice. Six years passed like strangers walking in opposite directions on a crowded street-close enough to remember, far enough to forget. Now, their paths collide again in South Africa, where Shubman is vice-captain of Team India and Rhea is flown in last-minute as a sports psychologist to manage rising anxiety cases within the squad. They meet in a hotel hallway. A glance. A pause. And then- She walks past like he's air. He doesn't even flinch. But beneath the surface, memories smolder. The silence between them is not absence-it's tension, bruised trust, and unsaid apologies wrapped in ego. As they're forced into shared spaces, media storms, and high-stakes matches, old wounds crack open. Rhea discovers the truth behind the betrayal she never cleared. And Shubman realizes the weight of the silence he never broke. They say time heals everything. But time never healed them. Because what they had wasn't just love. It was almost. Always.

Shubman Gill, a rising star in Indian cricket, finds himself drawn to Sriya Shetty, a talented physiotherapist through an unexpected connection-KL Rahul, Shubman's teammate and Sriya's cousin. Fate brings both of them face-to-face. Despite a growing mutual attraction, both hesitate to confess their feelings. Sriya sees herself as an ordinary girl compared to the renowned cricketer, while Shubman fears the potential fallout with KL Rahul upon revealing his affection for his teammate's sister. Will they find the courage to overcome their fears and admit their affection for each other, or will their unspoken feelings remain hidden, leaving their connection unresolved?
