Dheere Se Kho Gaye!

[10]

Ishi woke up in the morning and quickly took shower and wore beautiful dupatta-suit which was looking good on her and she even put bindi on her forehead to complete her look. She was alone in her room and she was happy to slowly get ready without getting pillows thrown on her by her beloved Shrinkhal.

She wanted both the brothers to share room together as she feels like Shravan should have his brother's time too. She went in the adjacent room which had a small door passing through it to the room next door where Shrinkhal and Guru were sleeping. She unlocked that door and saw both of them sleeping on their stomach. Shravan had his left leg on Shrinkhal and was cuddling his elder brother sweetly.

"Babies? Get up? We're getting late it's already 5 in the morning. Bachon! Aarti ke liye der ho Rahi hai. Chalo chalo," Ishi tried to wake them up but they were deadass asleep. She caressed their foreheads and advanced to write a little note on a post-it and left for "Har Ki Pauri."

She always had felt the most peace while visiting such holy and religious places. She would always get answers to her unknown questions and all the chaos would come to an end. Her Nani is the one who had put her belief in God. She went out and visited "Har Ki Pauri" to attend the morning Aarti. 

It had been 3 hours when Shravan and Shrinkhal woke up. For a whole they could not find Ishi and tried to search for her. They read the left over note and got ready to visit Ganga ghat.

"Ishu ko call kar ek baar, Sinku? Puch toh hai kahan?"

Shrinkhal tried calling her phone but she wasn't picking, they got bit panicked.

"She left her phone here!" Shrinkhal smacked his forehead.

"Bhai, Haridwar chota shehar nahi hai Jo samne hi mil jayegi woh pata nahi... Kahan hai yeh maharani," Guru got worried too.

They went out to find Ishi, meanwhile they even bowed infront of Ganga ghat and Shrinkhal prayed to find Ishi. Guru pray for the same, they roamed around and just tried to find but there was no sign of her.

He turned to his left and saw her coming out of the mandir. His heartbeat stopped for a few seconds when he saw her, but looking her with no scratch he was at peace. Guru tapped on Shrinkhal's shoulder and he ran to call Ishi who turned the other side.

"Ishi ruk! Oye! Ruk ja!" Guru screamed and stopped Ishi half way.

She looked at him and then at his shoulder looking at Shrinkhal with her soft eyes. "Arrey tum dono uth gaye? You look cute in this outfit Guru."

"Kahan thi tu?"

"Apna phone toh leke jati."

"Kitna dhunda tujhe hum Darr Gaye the dono."

Both the brothers' attacked her with their questions. Ishi calmed them down and took them in one corner. "Bachon! Relax! I left my phone because woh dead tha aur main bas vapis aane hi wali thi..."

"Okay! Let it be. It's just next time phone atleast saath rakhna. We got scared," Shrinkhal wasn't being able to make eye contact with her.

"Chalo yaar main bhookh se marr Raha hoon. I want food," Guru screamed.

"Okay. But you guys have to click pictures with me kyunki tum dono bohot pretty lag rahe ho. Deal?" Ishi asked them as they all went to eat something good.

Shrinkhal was silent the whole time and wasn't saying anything. Ishi knew something was up but she couldn't get chance to talk to him. They were visiting the places and eating street food the whole day.

They came back around 1 pm at night and straight went to their rooms to sleep. Ishi changed meanwhile texting Shrinkhal to come and meet her. She patiently was waiting for him while sitting on the edge of the bed.

He came quietly and stood infront of her with his hands behind his back. Ishi stood up and hugged him tightly, he was hesitant at first but hugged her as if it was for forever. They didn't break apart for a few minutes.

"I am sorry, Sinku. I know mujhe phone leke Jana chahiye tha please naraz mat hona, meri jaan." Ishi tried to convince him.

He pulled apart and made her sit on the bed and kneeled down infront of her. He held her hands and showed his most vulnerable side, "That's not the thing, love. I am not angry nor sad but I was scared. Scared of losing you I don't know why but ek dum se jab tum mili nahi dhundne pe bhi toh main Darr Gaya tha bohot zyada mere Mann mein bohot bure khayal aa rahe the and God knows what I was thinking but I was scared. Please promise me you'll never do this again and you'll never go away from me, ever."

Ishi almost had tears in her eyes and she hugged him again while sitting down with him on the floor, "I didn't know tum itna darr gaye the, Sri. I promise I'll never do this again. Tumhare Bina ya tumhe Bina inform kare kabhi nahi jaungi."

"I didn't mean that, bacha. You're an independent woman, my darling. It's just wherever you are I want you to be safe. That's all I want!"

She gently nodded and kissed on his forehead, "Thanks, sweet for sharing with me. I know how hard it is for you to open up like this and sharing your vulnerability but I appreciate. I love you and I will never go away from you."

His nerves were calm now and he picked her up while climbing on the bed and tucking her with himself. Ishi was dribbling her fingers on his head making him fall asleep in her arms while they were talking about their day.

When he was asleep, Ishi turned him on the other side while got up and checked on Guru. He was all curled up and sleeping like a baby. She came back into her room and hugged Shrinkhal while sleeping her one of the best nights with her love.

A/N: Sinku is so scared to lose her 🥺 why they are so cute? Oh gosh! I am simping on them so hard. I have never been to Haridwar before but again it's in my bucket list and maybe I'd like to go with Sinku. Lol. I always think of the impossible but why not. So, forgive if I wrote anything wrong about it and Thank you guys for supporting this story as I never thought I'll get so many views. I was writing this for fun but now that you guys are hooked to it, I devote my time and sleep on it while hating to get up for work the other day. See you 💜🐣 Also, do let me know if you guys need any changes.
