Standing on the end of the bridge was Ruchika, the girl Ishaan was supposed to get married to, as per the wish of his parents. She turned around to look at Ishaan with tears streaming down her face.

"How could you be like this Ishaan? How could you lie to me and ruin my life like that?" 

"I'm so sorry Ruchi. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm so sorry." Ishaan kept repeating over and over again.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"Ishaan. Ishaan. Wake up." Came a familiar voice but he couldn't find the source of the voice.

"Ishaan... Ishaan wake up."

Ishaan woke up with startled. He was drenched with sweat. 

"Same dream again?" Came a voice next to him. He turned to the source of the voice to see a worried expression on his roommate's face.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sorry I disturbed your sleep."

"Don't be. You know I'd wake up at the middle of the night if you need me. I'm always here for you no matter what." The sentence was followed by a cute little smile from him.

"So cheesy even in the middle of the night." Ishaan replied but couldn't stop the smile that broke out on his face after hearing those words.

"You love it. Anyways, what was the dream about. You have been having these nightmares where you just keep repeating that you're sorry, since you came back from your parents place."

"Don't worry. It's nothing." Ishaan replied

"If you say so. But if there is anything you want to tell me, I'm all ears. You know that, right?"

Ishaan nodded at this and gave him a small smile. He looked at the clock on the bedside table that read quarter to three.

"Lets go to sleep now. I have to wake up early for work." Ishaan said.

He nodded and they both laid down on their shared bed. Ishaan turned to look at his roommate who had his eyes closed. His roommate, Swayam was his childhood best friend and now his boyfriend for 5 years. He was Ishaan's strength, his world, his everything and he knew he was the same to Swayam. They had been to hell and back together and only always had each other by their side.

Ishaan was an average Indian bachelor with a very simple yet happy life. The 26 years old college professor, moved from a little village in Maharashtra to the outskirts of the Mumbai city a few years ago with Swayam. He considered himself to be average looking and would always ask Swayam as to why he loved Ishaan so much. Swayam's reply would always be the same. "I fell in love with your Hazel eyes and the dimpled smile." He was a lean guy with not much muscles as he would much rather spent his days reading books in his PJ's than go to the gym with Swayam. Ishaan fall asleep looking at the handsome, muscular doctor next to him.
