ISHAN'S POV -

I just completed my practice session and immediately called Shriya, my biggest fan and hopefully soon to be girl friend.

"Hey, Chia" I said

"Hey Kishmish" Shriya said.

"Dont call me kishmish" I said in an annoyed manner, I really do not get why she calls me Kishmish. Am I a dry fruit or what?

"I will" she stubbornly said

"I dont like it, so you wont call me that." I said grumpily.

"But I like the face you make when I call you Kishmish. Mera sweet kishmish." she teased even more.

"We are not even on video call Chia. How do you know what face I am making?" I asked.

"Doesnt really matter I can see your grumpy face when I say kishmish." she said.

"Acha kaise?" I asked her.

"Because I am your biggest fan and fans know everything about their cr- icon." she said, wait what? Was she going to say crush?

"Acha sachi? I will call you chia seeds then." I said.

"What? Noooo you cant call me chia seeds." she whined.

"I will and can because you are my fan so I can call you anything I want." I said.

"Ha toh call me chia na, chia seeds kyun?" she asked.

"Because they are healthy." just like how you are for me, I thought.

"What a lame reason, you are calling me chia and not chia seeds and that is final." she said.

"Hello chia seeds how are you doing today?" I teased her.

"Ishaaaaan." she whined.

"Thank god no more kish mish." I sighed.

"Hey kishmish wassup?" she started to tease me again.

"Ab main tujhse nahi baat karne wala bye." I grumpily said.

"Arre are sorry kishmish." she said.

"Firse? now toh forget it. bye." I again said.

"Acha baba fine Ishan khush?" she asked.

"Not until you come with me for dinner tonight." I said. Wah Ishan you are so smart.

"What if I saw no?" she asked.

"I will not talk to you again." I said in a very serious tone.

"No no I will come." she agreed. Yes!! Aaaj toh I will propose her.

"Where are you?" she asked.

"Coming to pick you up, be ready by 8." I said and hung up before she could protest.

I am going going to finally propose her today, I fell for her with her every since the first time I saw her in the finals of IPL last year. I smiled thinking about the first time I met her.

We had just won the IPL finals and I still could not believe it. It was Mumbai Indian's fourth IPL win but it was my first win. I could not express how happy I was. We all finally came back to the dressing room after all the interviews and collecting the trophy.

The dressing room celebrations were going on full swing when the door of the dressing room opened and our dear bhabhis, Ritika bhabhi along with Samaira and Pankhuri bhabhi entered the dressing room.

Wait there is some one more.

A really pretty girl with a very sweet smile entered the dressing room. Her eyes twinkled with excitement and had a glint of nervousness too, maybe because of all our presence. Wait why are you noticing so much Ishan?

"Chia, how are you? wassup?" Hardik said and was the first one to greet her and her nervousness vanished. Wait is her name chia? No it sounds like a pet name. How does Harry know her? Is she his girl friend? No stop overthinking Ishan.

"Hey bro!! I am first class as usual whats up with you?" that girl cheerfully said.

"Yaar bro bolna zaroori tha?" Hardik whined and all started laughing.

"Haa kyun?" she asked.

"Kyunki I was going to fool everyone by telling that you are my girlfriend you spoiled the plan chia." Hardik whined. Oh so she is not his girl friend. Thank god! Wait, why am I thanking god?

"Ha ha so very funny. I purposely said bro mujhe pata tha ki you are going to do something like that to prove that Hardik Pandya is cool." she said, ohhh smart.

"Hardik Pandya is cool okay and girls do not call him bro they call him bae" Hardik said with attitude. Yeh insaan ka swag kabhi nahi jaane wala.

"Ya ya Harry bro. Wassup?" she teased him.

"Harry atleast introduce us to this smart girl who calls you bro." Jassi teased him.

"Okay so guys I am not her bro I am not a bro." Hardik said loudly stressing on the word bro.

"Humein sunaai deta hain." Rohit bhai said and we all laughed.

"Oh my god! Rohit ko sunaai deta hain. A round of applause for him please" Hardik sarcastically said and Ro bhai gave him a look.

"Okay so back to topic, she is Shriya, mine and Pankhu's best friend." he said.

"Technically my best friend only." Pankhuri bhabhi said.

" And your sister, bro." Shriya teased him. Shriya, ummm nice and sweet name.

"No I am not any bro wro I am her best friend." Hardik said.

"Guys she is my best friend and Harry is just bragging to show that he knows everyone. She is a huge cricket fan so I tagged her along with me for the match and to the dressing room as well." Pankhuri said. Oh nicee. But why didnt you tag her along for the previous matches too? Pehle mulakaat ho jati toh baar baar mulakaat hoti.

"No I met her at your wedding and we are very good friends since then right?" Hardik who was still stuck at the same topic said.

"Yes bro." Shriya said and Hardik made a face at that bro. She surely knows how to annoy him.

She went and met all the cricketers and also joined us for the celebrations.

"Hey Shriya right?" I went to her and asked , I obviously knew her name but I did not want to sound like a creep.

"Yes you are Ishan Kishan right? I cannot believe it." she squealed like a kid.

"Why?" I asked.

"I am a huge fan of yours trust me. I have watched each and every match of yours and you are an amazing player, I swear." she fangirled and I smiled. Wow so she is my fan, good start Ishan.

"Really? thats great to hear." I said and smiled.

"Can I have your autograph and selfie. Pleaseeee I am a big fan." Shriya said and how could I refuse to those puppy eyes.

"Yes sure why not. If you want anything more then I will give that also." I said like a dumbhead.

"Ya I want a Ferrari will you get me that?" she asked and I raised my eyebrows in shock.

"Chill chill I am kidding. I only want a selfies and autograph." she said and laughed. Gid her laugh is so natural and it enhances her beauty.

I took a selfie with her and she was jumping all around looking at that selfie. Through out the party I kept talking to her so that I can stay around her.

At the end of the celebration I really wanted to get her number, I wanted to meet her again but I did not want to look like a despo or a creep so I decided against asking her for her number. I cant ask her for the number right? I can ask Hardik. Wah beta Ishan wah! Itna smart kabse ho gaya tu?

"Harry." I called Hardik.

"Yup bro." he said and came to me.

"Umm you know Chia right?" I asked.

"Ummm chia kaun chia?" he asked.

"Arre your that best friend who just left from the party. Arre Pankhuri bhabhi's best friend." I said.

"Ohh acha chia, woh chia. Waise her name is Shriya not chia." he said.

"I know that her name is Shriya." I said.

"Oh you know a lot. What else do you know about her?" he teased.

"Yaar what mahn." I whined.

"Okay okay stop whining bata what about chia?" he asked.

"Good come to the point, umm I, wanted I." I stuttered.

"Come to the point keh kar khud I I kar raha hain." he said.

"Do you have her number?" I asked.

"Oh toh number tak baat pahunch gayi hain." he said.

"What?" I asked.

"Puri party mein usse hi tad raha tha, itni toh common sense hain mujh mein." he said.

Was I that obvious??

"Yes you were." Hardik said.

Did I saw that aloud?

"Yes you did." Hardik said.

Whats wrong with me?

"You could be in love lalalala." Hardik said.

"What ? I just want her number." I said. Whats wrong with me? Why am I thinking aloud?

"Kisi ko number chahiye ohohoho number a chahiye kyun kyunnnn? Kya kisis ko hain pataaa ya hua hai isse pyarrrrrrr." he sang. Mujhe pata that yeh admi ek kaam sidha nahi karega aur natak karenga woh alag.

"Tu de raha hain ki nahi?" I asked him.

"Nahi ussi se number maang le." he said.

"Arre mere bhai, dede na number please." I said.

"Ha thikh hai thikh hai zyaada bheekh maangne ki zarrorat nahi hai bas shaadi ke din mujhe special credits chahiye." he said and I hit him.

"Violent much?" he asked.

"Number de." I said and he gave the number.

Ek number ke liye kitne papad belne padte hain. Main toh thak gaya.

The next day itself I called her.

"Hello chia?" I asked.

"Hello. who is this?" she asked. Arre tu pagal hain kya Ishan, hello ishan here kar ke chalo karna tha.

"Ishan here, we met last night remember?" I asked. Aur ke pagal move, obviously she remembers, she does not have short term memory loss like you.

"Obviously how can I forget you I am your biggest fan remember?" she said, hayyyy her voice, mein toh mar hi gaya.

"Umm hello?" she asked, shit shit I was lost talking to myself, she will think that I hung up, what are you still doing here go talk.

"Yes I am here only." I said.

"Oh I dont remember giving you my number yesterday." she said. Ab mein kya bolu?

"No you only gave it to me? Remember when we were talking and I said that I would love to talk to my biggest fan more often and you gave me your number." I made up a story. Yeh kab hua that mujhe bhi nahi pata.

"Oh ya I dont know how I forgot." she said. You did not forgot, this never happened.

"No no its okay. I there was a lot of noise in the background yesterday so maybe you forgot because of that." I said.

"Ya maybe. So why did you remember your fan today?" she asked, I will remember you everyday from now.

"Oh ya simply nothing, Do I need a reason to call my fan?" I asked. She will think that you randomly call people up like this.

"No nothing like that, you can call me anytime." she said.

I smiled thinking about this, since then I used to keep calling her and we also met a lot of times, every time I was in Mumbai, I used to make it a point to somehow meet her. I used to enjoy her company always, I once asked her to call me by my pet name and she since then calls me kishmish, thats not even my pet name but she has her own style. She thinks that she is just a fan but I am going to propose her today, I just hope she tells yes.

SHRIYA'S POV -

Ishan just called and he said that he wants to take me out, I dont know why.

I always had a huge crush on him and I was a huge fan. I never ever knew that I would get to meet him until last year. I had gone with Pankhuri to watch the finals and she dragged me along with her to the dressing room. I entered and I stopped in my tracks, all the star cricketers were in front of me, but when I saw him I swear I was going to faint.

I went and met all the cricketers except him, because I knew if I meet him then I wont be able to control my fangirl mode. But to my surprise he came to take to me and as expected I started fangirling like anything.

That day was still fine, but I got the shock of my life when he called me the next day, I was sure that I did not give him my number. How did he get it? Anyways even I got his number so I was khush.

But I thing I did not expect was meeting and talking to him this frequently, I am so used to him now and I think I am falling for him. Think? I have fallen for him but I am just a normal fan girl.

I will be there in 15

I saw his text, shit I am not even ready yet. I ran to get ready.

"Hey kish mish." I said as I saw him standing next to his car. I call him kish mish cause he gets damn annoyed when I do that and he looks so damn cute at that time, and I love that face he makes.

"Hey chia seeds." he said with a smirk. What no, chia seeds sounds so dumb.

"I am not coming with you." I said stubbornly.

"What? Why? Did I do anything? Did someone say anything? come no" he begged and I felt like laughing at that, I was just acting.

"Ya you did something." I said faking seriousness.

"Hain? me? What did I do?" he asked worried. Aww he is soo cute.

"You called me chia seeds. Am I a seed?" I asked faking anger.

"You call me kishmish. Am I a dry fruit?" he asked me .

"That name is sweet." I said.

"Even this name is." he said.

"If you call me a seed I am not coming with you." I said faking anger.

"Okay okay sorry please come." he said.

"Thik hai." I said and got in the car.

"Where are we going?" I asked him as he sat in the car.

"Surprise surprise." he said.

"No I want to know now." I said stubbornly.

"Turn." he said and I turned and he put a blindfold on my eyes.

"What are you doing?" I gasped

"Now sit quietly or else you will keep annoying me by asking where we are going." he said and started driving.

"Are you kidnapping me?" I asked.

"Yes I am going to kidnap you and then murder you be ready to die." he said.

"Bhagwan mujhe bacha lo." I said and he laughed.

The car stopped after a while and I heard him opening the door and he took my hand and led me in.

"Now tell me where are we going?" I asked him.

"Shhh patience." he said and led me somewhere.

"Now open your eyes." he said.

"What? You beed to remove the blindfold for that." I said.

"Oh ya." he said and removed the blind fold and I opened my eyes to see a romantic date set up at the shore of a beach.

"What is that for?" I asked in a shocked manner.

The set up was beautiful no doubt but why did he get me here?

He took me close to the table and bent on his knees.

"Chia, I love you, from the first time I set my eyes on you I knew it that if I would not make you mine then I wont let anyone else make you theirs too. I love you, your smile, your dimples, your eyes, your voice, you as a whole make my heart skip a beat every single time I see you. Whenever I am around you I can be totally myself and tell you whatever I feel like without any hesitation. I really really love you from day one. Shriya. will you be my girl friend?" he asked and I was shocked, my mouth was wide open, literally so wide that a fly can get in.

"You love me? I love you tooooo, even before you knew me. And will you be my girlfriend is not even a question I am your girl friend now." I said and jumped like a kid and he slid a ring into my finger.

"And I am your boyfriend now." he said and hugged me.

"Aww mera Kishmish."
