Tbc....

Running away from Ishan , Shubman crwaled into his room. He lied on the mattress squeezing his eyes shut. The look on Ishan's face as he kissed him , replying over and over again beneath his eyelids , untill inevitable stomach-aching sobs forced their way out. He buried his face deep in pillow in an attempt to muffle the noice.

Slowly slowly , the sobs give way to sleep.

Next he woke up when a servant informed him about Mayank's visit.

Shubman was quite shocked. Mayank never came to specially meet him.

The minute he stood infront of Mayank he met with Mayank's fierce gaze. Next his collar was in Mayank's grab. Mayank almost chocked him.

"Shubman may sochta tha tu Ishu se pyaar karta hay. Mayne sapne me vi nehi socha tha ki tu aysa kuch kar sakta hay"

Shubman was in daze. What the hell is Mayank saying.

Him loving Ishan!!

Does Mayank knows everything?

But how?

"KYU KIYA AYSA BOL?"

Shubman coughed loudly.

Mayank tu-tu k-keya bol raha hay?

Mayank scowld loudly.

"Ohhh ab tujhe samajh nehi aa raha na kuch. Kyu tora Ishu ka dil ha?"

M-mayank tu jan-janta hay?

"Keya janu bol? Ki tum dono ke bich keya hay? Ha janta hoon."

Shubman's eyes almost came out of socket.

Tu-tujhe galat nehi laga?

Mayank scoffed.

"Shubman terese ye unmid nehi thi. Mujhe kitna vi ajeeb lage Ishan ke khusi ke liye man lunga. Par iska matlab ye nehi ki teri ye harkate may man lunga"

Ish-Ishan kaha hay?

"Ab yaad ayi tujhe uski?"

Suddenly Shubman held Mayank's hand tightly.

M-Mayank may tere age haat jorta hoon mujhe bata woh thik hay na?

The begging tone of Shubman shook something in Mayank.

"Nehi Shubman woh thik nehi hay"













After Shubman left Ishan alone , Ishan stood still in his place for some minitues. His mind stopped working.

He knew Shubman was scared to accept the reality , but deep inside he used to believe that if he confronts Shubman , he would accept it.

But Shubman just broke his believe in a flash of second.

Not just his believe , Shubman has broken his pride.

His pride of knowing Shubman's heart.

Love hurts for sure but broken expectation hurts more.

After some minitues of stillness when Ishan regained his conscious, reality hit him hard.

Not being able to take the burden he ran from there.













Mayank just woke up from his peaceful nap. He was enjoying the hustel bustel less morning hour when a devastated Ishan jumped onto him , hugging him like his life depends on it.

What he did next?

He cried.

The Ishan who never breaks down.

The Ishan who wasn't afraid of anything.

The Ishan who was bold enough to stand for his love against the society.

The Ishan who expressed his feelings openly.

Cried.

He cried miserably.

His broken sobs were echoing in the morning air.

Mayank had no idea how to console the boy. Afterall he was also first time witnessing a broken Ishan.

Ishan cried to the point he lost his conscious.

His body went numb in Mayank's embrace. His last words followed...

"S-shubi m-mujhe ch-chorke mat j-jao"















Shubman was crying like a child while listening to Mayank.

Mayank could've never imagined witnesses both the love birds crying on same day.

Meri galti hay Mayank sab meri galti hay. Par yakeen karo may nehi chatatha kavi nehi chatatha use hurt karna. Usme to meri jaan basti hay. Par mayne wahi kar diya Mayank. Such a looser I am!!

Chala jayunga may ...may usse bohot dur chala jayunga.


"Pagal ho keya tum?"

Matlab?

"Matlab tumne avi to kaha ki tum use hurt karna nehi chahate phir ye kis tarah ki bate kar rahe ho?"

Isi liye chala jaynga taki may phir kavi use hurt na kar payu. Kavi nehi.

Mayank facepalmed at this.

"Achha hay bhai ek pagal aur ek andha. Keya jori banayi jay bhagwan ne"

H-HUH!!

"Tumhe keya lagta hay Shubman tumhare dur jane se woh khus rahega?"

Par ma---

"Nehi meri baat suno tum...
Jo insaan ratko sota hay tumhara chahera yaad karke aur Subha uthta hay tumhare sapno me khoke , mandir me jake sabse pehele tumahre liye duyaa mangta hay , tumhari ek chitti ke liye tarasta hay , tumhe lagta hay woh tumhare bina khus rahega?"

T-to may keya karu bhai tu hi bata...

Shubman was on the verge on breaking down again.

Mayank sighed then kept his hand on Shubman's chest.

"Shubman mujhe jyada samajh nehi ata. Par ek baat may tumse kehe sakta hoon,
Dil aur dimag me vivad ho to dil ko chunna. Dil kavi galat nehi hota"

Shubman looked up with raw emotions in his eyes.

"Mujhe pata hay asan nehi hoga par ekbar larne ki thaan leke to dekho. Khete hay agar koi kisi se sachhe dil se pyaar karta hay to puri kaynat unka sath dete hay"

Shubman hugged Mayank tightly. This is what he needed , a proper conversation.














Now Shubman Gill is standing nervously infront of Ishan's house.....
