I NEED YOU

chp- 22

T20 World Cup finals

India vs South Africa was the match . India won by 7 wickets. Everyone was beyond happy. In the dressing room everyone was dancing, singing & eating cake(more like putting it on each other). Someone was not there Ishan looked around just to find Shubman missing. Soon Ishan realised Shubman went out to give his speech of the man of the match. Abhishek came in the middle and switched off the speaker and with that all the lights also went off .

After few seconds the lights were on again but the dressing room was half empty . Abhiyank pushed Ishan to the balcony and Shubman was on the big screen .

Reporter
Your performance in the finals and in this T20 series is unbelievable. So what do you think improved your gameplay? In IPL and before that you were out of form

Shubman
I think a lot changed after the IPL . There is this person in my life who was not by my side during IPL. We had a fight I did something unforgivable but now I am forgiven and he is right by my side looking at me from the balcony of our dressing room( pointing towards Ishan) .
Whenever he is by my side I think I can do anything I am capable of winning this world but when he is not I am not myself. I am nothing without him. I am talking about my best friend & the love of my life Ishan Kishan . His presence improved my gameplay beyond well .

Reporter
I think you have something to say to him the stage is all yours . I will take my leave .
( The reporter leaves the stage)

Shubman
I am sorry Ishu for making you cry I am sorry for making you suffer but you know I have changed and you did it . You made me a better person. My world revolves around you . We have known each other for years . You know me better than I know myself. We have dated for a certain period of time . I know right now we are friends BUT I do not want to be just friends or best friends with you . I swear to not be like before. I swear to not repeat my past mistakes. I swear to love and care for you throughout my life . I have wanted to say you this and ask you this for a very long time my love. Look towards my right

( There were 13 people standing wearing tshirts of Ishman's photograph and then they turned around. There was a letter written in capital in each on their tshirts
BE MY OTHER HALF )

Shubman
So Ishan Kishan I want to ask you this will you be my other half? Will you stay by my side when I am 90 and on a hospital bed ? Will you stay in your dream house with me? Will you travel around the world with this fool? Will you carry a small version of me ? Will you love me like you do for always & forever?

Shubman kneels down on his knees pulls out a diamond ring forward

Shubman
WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Ishan just froze on his spot tears running down his eyes not the sad one but happy one. The whole stadium is screaming in happiness and shouting say yes say yes .
Mayank shaked Ishan to bring him back to the world as soon as he did that Ishan ran downstairs away from the balcony. No-one knew what was going to happen and then Shubman stood up . Then they saw Ishan running out of the dressing room towards Shubman.

Ishan went running towards Shubman and jumped on him hugging him like there is no tomorrow and then he says

Ishan
Yes a hundred times yes .

The whole stadium is shouting & jumping including the whole ICT . Then Tilak spoke

Tilak
This is Caption Tilak speaking
Hello hello Mic testing
This ship is now sailing at it's highest level of love and won't sink down ever .
