Sizzling shock
It was match day today, against Australia. Me, Shalini, Ritika, Anushka, Sakshi and Nupur as well as Aesha who joined with Zoraver a bit later all were seated.
I already knew India was going to win because Jasprit always works wonders with the ball.
We all got up and clapped and screamed as India won the match and the boys all hugged each other and high fived everyone.
Soon Jasprit was announced man of the match.
I was starting to think nothing could be better than this.
But something even better did happen.
It had been 4 minutes since we won, and the crowd was still roaring like mad.
Thud. Ziva dropped my phone behind my seat so I bend down to pick it up.
"Urgh where is it?!" I feel around the floor to find it but it's somewhere far. I bend down farther and see it, I'm still bent over when the crowd suddenly goes even wilder. People begin to stand up and cheer and clap even more wildly.
Right now I'm too bothered about my phone.
"SHANAYA!!!! Look!!!" Sakshi shakes my shoulder excitedly.
"Huh?" A confused me just picks up my phone and stand up to get a sight of what was happening.
My ears canceled out all the noise and my eyes had to physically be widened to actually process what was in front of me.
I just stood there, blank.
On the display board where it is usually shown "out" or "not out".... in big writing was.....:
"Shanaya, please come onto the pitch"
What the hell. Why me? I hated this sort of attention with all these fans.
"Omg who is she? Is she a fan??" I heard people say.
"That's me." I mutter in shock, barely above a whisper. I try to sit back down in my seat to hide myself but Ritika and Sakshi force me to go.
"Jao Shanaya!!!"
"Excuse me." I say, as I battle my way through the crowd, reminding me of the match in England when I fought my way through to meet Jasprit.
I nervously walk down as the security guards let me on to the field, where I see the boys all walking towards me, except Jasprit who is stood in the middle of the pitch. At this point I'm the most confused person on earth.
They all smile at me as they walk past me, like they're going off the field. Hardik high fives me with both hands with a huge grin on his face however I lamely pat my hands against his slowly, confused, nervous, scared as they all leave one by one.
The cricketers were coming off the field, I was going onto the field, the heck?
I always had stage fright. I had no idea where this was going.
I make my way over to Jasprit who takes my hand in his.
A security guard quickly runs in to give him a microphone.
"Jas what's all this?" I whisper to him.
The crowd is so loud at seeing us together like this that I can't hear myself.
Jasprit turns the microphone on and taps it, to check if it is working.
The crowd slowly die down as he begins.
"Hello, hello? Can you all hear me?"
"YESSS!!!!" They say.
"I'd like to..." He trails off as the crowd is still loud.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to firstly thank you all for coming."
It is now quiet.
"You guys have been the biggest pillar of support and your undying love and strength has encouraged us so much as a unit, it's hard to put into words. So thank you." He nods, turning around 360 degrees to take a look at everyone.
Meanwhile I'm just dumbstruck. Maybe he wants to share this moment with me?
"But today is a very special day. Not only because we won, or because of this new thing for my shelf," He says, holding up his MOM trophy.
"But because I'd like to introduce you all to this person who has a very special place in my life." He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him.
"Someone who I met only recently, someone who supported me throughout, someone who flew all the way from England to Australia to be with me.... This girl right here."
The crowd cheers wildly.
"So today. Miss Shanaya Mehra. All I want to say is - thank you for being you and please never change."
I can almost feel my eyes pricking with tears, however this is the worst spot to cry. This man's love for me touched my heart like no one ever did before. I had to control myself from flinging into his chest and cuddling him in front of 25000 people.
"The only thing...." he continues.
"The only thing I would change about you, Shanaya, is... drum roll please!"
The crowd is jeering and everyone is practically screaming, their drum rolling making it all the more anticipating.
"Your last name."
My hands fly over my mouth as I stand there in shock. I feel my legs carrying me backwards a bit.
"Shanaya, will you marry me?" Jas bends down on one knee and takes my hand gently in his. He holds out a ring box, the diamond stone glistening in the sunlight.
The fans are now screeching and eroding my drum rate at a faster speed than anything kn earth. Everyone, every being, every thing seemed to be going crazy; it was surreal.
I can't help but let a few tears drop down my face. My cheeks flush a bright red as I'm not only embarrased, but shocked and elated, while being confused, scared and frustrated before. A huge gleam appears across my face as I smile like never before. I look down at him as he looks up at me with his huge eyes that only show his love for me.
"Yes." I somehow squeak, the huge lump in my throat making it impossible for me to say anything without bursting into sobs.
"YES." I say louder. "Yes, yes, yes!" I say again.
Jasprit slips the ring onto my hand and stands up, as we fly into a hug. We rock side to side as the fans are at the highest end of the crazy and wild spectrum. Confetti falls on us from the side and the board displays "It's a yes!"
"Hey." Jas lifts my chin and wipes my wet cheeks, before giving me a hug again.
"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!" The crowd chants like a rhythm.
"I've already broken millions of hearts, maybe we'll save that for later." Jasprit jokes, making the stadium burst into laughter.
I laugh as I wipe the remainder of my tears and run a hand through my hair before breathing a huge sigh of relief.
"We wish you all the very best for your new life together and hope you continue shining, succeeding and achieving and boom boom booming like you always do, dear Jasprit. Best of luck and lots of love." Virat speaks as skipper into the microphone, while everyone claps.
