Dheere Se Kho Gaye!

Shrinkhal's POV

I was sitting near the window looking outside whilst it was raining. I missed every second when Ishi left. I don't know how will I be able to tell her the truth, it's killing me.

Flashback

"For fuck's sake, stay away from me, Ankita. I don't want to be near you." I removed her hands reaching my neck as we were sitting in the café the other day.

I remember I asked her to meet me and I slept pretty late and couldn't wake up till noon. I left Guru and Ishi questionable as I ran to meet her. I so much want her to get out of my life.

"I will but only if you do as I say," She said again, cunningly looking into my eyes.

"Ah sure! Why not! Tell me what you want Haan. I'm so sick of you already please just leave me and my family." I pleaded to her.

"You and your family? Who? Ishi? Is she your family already?" Ankita said while rolling her eyes and still trying to seduce me by wearing such revealing clothes and catching everyone's attention.

It made me feel knots in my gut.

"You were not like this. Or maybe I didn't know the actual you. I beg you to leave me."

"I only asked you to be with me again. I love you, Shrinkhal you're not trying to understand." She almost cried again catching everyone's attention.

"Enough now!" I screamed and walked out of the cafe while angrily stomping my feet down.

And I went back to the same hotel room, I drank till midnight keeping thinking about what had happened that night. While thinking, I slept on the floor not remembering to go back home to my baby.

In the morning, a knock from room service woke me. With a pounding head, I managed to open the door, and a young boy entered.

"Hey! Brother, how are you?" he asked with a smile.

"Sorry, do I know you?"

"Oh, you came here a few days ago. I visited your room then. You had drunk a lot and were telling me some story I couldn't understand."

I sat on the nearby chair, trying to recall. After a moment, it clicked.

"Ah, you're Guru, right? I remember now because my brother's name is also Guru. I must have mistaken you for him that night and rambled on."

"Sir, there's no need to stress. I sensed something was off when I heard you speak. If you need any help, just let me know."

"Actually, I do need a favor."

"Please, go ahead." He smiled warmly while tidying the bed.

"Is it possible to get the footage from the night I arrived?"

"Of course, come with me."

We left the room after he cleaned and I quietly followed him. He took me to where all the cameras were operated by a young boy like him. Guru explained the whole situation and then that guy asked me to sit and tell him what I wanted to see.

I asked him to show me the time I checked in and when Ankita entered my room and he showed me the footage where we both were captured. I realized that she didn't come into my room at night but in the morning just a while before I woke up and imposed as if got into some sexual action.

I was relieved and happy too as I was sure I didn't do anything but I wasn't being able to remember anything. I thanked both of them and left the hotel and wanted to go straight to Ishi. I wasn't being able to live apart from her anymore.

I want her.

She's just mine.

I was stuck in the traffic but I tried to be calm, on my way I decided to purpose to her for marriage. I felt as if this was the right time and if not now I'll lose her forever and I don't want this to happen. I can't afford to lose her. I remember I had got the ring already which was in my car's dashboard.

I reached home as Guru opened the door, "Kahan tha?" He asked me like a mother.

"Kuch nahi bas bahar tha!" I tried to enter but Guru stood in front of me.

"Ishi raat ko ro ke soyi hai," he spoke cold-heartedly.

My heart sank when he told me she cried. Without thinking about anything else I went into my room and saw Ishi all curled up on the bed between the sheets.

I removed my jacket and snuggled around her. Her warm body felt cold against mine. I still had alcohol's smell lingering on my clothes so I removed my teeshirt and hugged her closely and felt peaceful.

I have never been so calm before. Ishi's my home, my peace, my patience, and my happiness. I want to keep her in my pocket, hiding her from everyone. I just want to hold her like this forever.

A/N: ain't ShrIsh the best? Haha, it's a cute name. And now I guess things began to clear to you guys. Hopefully, I guess. You'll realize things slowly and gradually don't you worry my homies. Do let me know if you're liking the story or not. And share as much as possible coz I want at least Guru to read this once. But not Sinku and if he does I'll die. I will disappear! Ahaha anyways, see you soon 💜💫
