-----------------------------

Puja entered ITC SONAR and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally she's here! 

Being a student of Government Law College, Mumbai, Puja has to travel a lot when she's bound for home for holidays. She had planned a surprise visit to her parents this time, only to be surprised herself. Her parents went on a tour, completely unaware of her surprise visit, landing her in a fix. Thanks to her hotelier friend that she grabbed a room in the famous chain of hotels for a temporary stay!

The receptionist broke her out of her trance.

'Please wait a bit, Ma'am. We're getting the room ready. So sorry for inconvenience.'

'It's fine. I'll wait.' Puja passed a smile and sat on a sofa. Not wanting to scroll her phone, she took up a magazine from the table and turned the pages. A write-up caught her attention. It was on the star of indian cricket, the vice-captain, Shreyas Iyer. Well, although her schedules are generally hectic, she manages time to watch the 22 yards game. And she's a fan of the Captain of KKR. 

'Excuse me, can you pass a magazine please?'

As if she has been electrocuted, Puja turned to her right. In no way she won't recognise the voice! Shreyas Iyer - what the actual -

'Ah sure, here it is.' Trying to control her fast beating heart, she managed a small smile at the corner of her lips and passed the magazine to him. IS IT HIM FOR REAL?

'Yep, it's me only, you aren't dreaming, lady!'  Shreyas chuckled.

'Was I that loud?'

'Ofc, you were.' He chuckled.

'Okay am sorry--'

'Your name is sorry?'

'Lame one, Mr. Iyer. Am Puja if that's what you want to know.' she said and getting up, went to get the keycard of her room.

' Don't tell me you love her, Shrey.' 

Shardul said and sat beside the skipper of his team.

' Love at first sight exists, Lord, but i think I kind of like her, as of now.'

' Yeah yea - good luck! And as I have to take the room beside yours, make sure I don't hear about hanky panky and all.'

' The hell, man! And, fyi, I know her name only. Nothing else.'

' I can manage her phone number, only if you give me your credit card for a day.'

' I don't want to be a creep sort of thing! And I don't think she's single-'

' You boys better get your keycards!' Lockie yelled from afar.

'Coming!'

------------------------------------------------------------

Guess fate wasn't that bad to her that day. Meet with Shreyas Santosh Iyer fixed everything. After freshening up, Puja was thinking to go downstairs and have a nice lunch because brain doesn't work unless you munch on something good.

She had just stepped out after changing into white and black combo when she saw someone run past her with something in his hand. She turned her face and walked to the end of the corridor only to bump on someone.

' You okay?'

Here goes nothing. Another embarassing moment with the same man.

' Yeah am fine. Sorry for bumping -' she replied, rubbing her forehead.

' I am the one who should be apologising. Lordy err Shardul ran away with my orange trousers so -' Shreyas paused, ' Gosh it's weird but ermm, would you mind lunch together, if you aren't done with it?'

'Am starving to be honest.' she replied and chuckled.

' So am honoured to have lunch with this pretty lady here.' Shreyas smiled, genuinely.

She stared into his brown orbs to find genuineness and fondness for her. She was quite early to judge them, but being a law student, she knows a bit about human emotions.

Shreyas's phone vibrated in his pocket and he took it out. Shardul had messaged him.

' You're faster than Rajdhani, bro. Don't forget to make me the godfather of my nephew or niece.'

He had watched them interact from a not so far away place.

----------------------------------

' So, friends?' Shreyas asked, with hopeful eyes.

'Uhm--- yes, Friends!' she smiled, which was so infectious that he was grinning.

Hopefully we'll turn to something else, someday. He thought.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

' I think I don't like her just, I love her- I was ignoring it for a while, but yeah now i know I love her.' Shreyas said and waved a bye to Puja who had checked out of the hotel and was bound for home. Just three days of knowing her and he's already swimming in the pool of love!

' Ah hah- A new Romeo in town!' Shrardul decided to ease his best friend a bit.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

' Game of Thrones!' Shreyas said.

Puja placed the popcorn bowl on the table with a thud and said, ' Stranger Things! Or else I'll cut the crap and make sure your dietician doesn't allow you a cheat day.

Shrey raised his hands in defeat. 

Puja definitely knew her best friend more than anyone else, more than Shardul. And Shardul was glad of it, deep in his heart, because he's the first shipper and the biggest one.

So were was I? Ah yes, the whole night movie binge plan - well it didn't last long, because they settled to watch Titanic after a lot of bickering and pillowfight and at the end of they movie, the best friends ended up finishing a pack of tissues and two bowls of chocochip ice cream, a bowl of popcorn and a huge pack of dark chocolate and a lot, well nvm~

' Will someone love me the way Jack loves Rose?' Ruja asked, but it sounded more like a statement of longing.

' Somewhere in this no so little world, there's someone, the one for you, who will make you fill loved differently than you've ever been. He'll repect you, adore you, cuddle you and make you happy with littlest things, not just love you.' Shrey replied, and his voice matched the softness in his eyes.

And she could was look at him in awe, with a strange feel.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

' Will you be my lady? The Rose to my jack? The Daya to my Jethalal? Tumi ki amar hobe? ( Will you be mine?)  ' Shreyas asked and held the miniature of Taj Mahal in front of her.

'Shrey? You just-'

' I love you and am not a bit sorry to say this- I have love you since I got to know you and since them I kept drowning, for you, in your love.'

'And I love you. Yes, I do, since I have notice how you have been to me, and I am slowly falling for you more, bit by bit.'

Shreyas smiled and place a chaste kiss on her forehead, before pulling her into a hug.
