Metanoia (Shubman gill×Ishan kishan)

Chapter 11

Shubman's POV

I heard something,more specifically,I heard the sound of door opening.I turned around and saw Ishan's door open,just a little,lesser than one-fourth portion.But atleast he opened the door.

"Ishan",I called out softly,approaching his door.
"H-..hey",he muttered in a very low voice.His voice sounds strained,and tired.

"Ishan,are you okay?",I'm keeping my voice very gentle right now,but I want nothing but to rip open the door and hug the daylight out of him.

But there was no answer.
"Are you feeling good?",still no answer.

"Ishan,are you noding your head?",I asked,and heard a small gasp.A smile spread on my lips.He is so cute.

"I was worried about you",I said,planting my palm on the door.

"Can I see you?",I asked after a few moments of silence.
"Umm....it-...you...",his voice started shaking.

"Hey,hey,it's alright.It's okay,I just wanted to know if you were okay or not",I said reassuring him.

There was a long pause.None of us talked.We just stood there,opposite to each other,just the door blocking my view.

I could easily take the matter in my hands.I can rip open the door,and come face to face him.But it will scare him away,and i don't want to scare my Ishan away.

"Ishan,you didn't answer my question"
"I-i'm fi..I'm fine"

"I just wanted to know that.Now,I feel much less worried",I said,again reassuring him.

I don't want him to take any stress.He needs to know that I was worried,not angry or upset with him.

"Ishan,go back to sleep.And thank you for opening the door for me.I gotta go now"

"Hm-umm...tha-than...thanks..",he muttered after a few tries.I softly smiled.His voice sounds weak,the virus must have done a number on him,but I strongly believe it was not just the virus,it was something else.

"Close the door,Ishan.I will wait till you close it",I softly said.He neither said anything nor moved an inch.

"Do you understand,Ishan?",I asked again,adding a little authority to my voice.I know it will work.

"Yes,B-bye",he softly said to which a huge grin took over my face.

"Bye,Ishan"
He slowly closed the door.I waited a few minutes outside his door,incase he needs something.

But I didn't hear any sound coming from the room,except the soft ruffling of bedsheet.He probably went to take a nap like I said,what a good boy.

I know it is something else,not just a flu or viral fever.It's something big,something mysterious.With one last glance at his door,I went down the stairs.

"What took you so long?",Dom spat out,as soon as I reached the living room.

"DOM!",aunty scolded him,to which he just frowned and slumped on the sofa.

I ignored the mutt.I'm in no mood to deal with a fucking grown up who acts like a child.

"If I ask you something,will you tell me?",I asked Ishan's parents.My tone hard,not light or friendly anymore.They hesitated for a moment,then noded their heads.

"What's up with Ishan?It is not just the flu',I stated as a matter of fact.

"None of your business",Dom again snapped at me.This fucking mutt.

"Dominic James Kishan,apologise to Shubman right now",aunty Stella said,glaring daggers at him.

"No I w-"
"APOLOGISE.NOW",aunty is scary when she's angry,just like my maa.

Dominic got up from the couch and walked past me,purposefully bumping my shoulder.

So,this guy would rather die than apologising?Good,because i would have fun killing him.

"This boy..",aunty sighed,clearly disappointed with her son.

"Uncle,aunty,I want to know",I am being patient right now,but soon my patience will run out.

"Shubman,it's not our place to tell you.Just know that Ishan sometimes go into isolation and he loves his privacy for that short time"

What?
Why?
Reason?

I had so many questions,but decided against it.Now is not the time.I just noded my head.

"Will he be alright?",I asked lowly,worried about him.
"Yes,don't worry,Shubman.Just give him time",aunty said.

"Okay,I will get going now,I have some work to catch up to",I said,walking away.

"Shubman?",aunty called out,and I turned around to face her.
"I'm glad Ishu have you",She said,warmly smiling at me.Uncle also noded his head.

I just smiled back at them and walked off.Shawn was waiting for me outside and when I reached the car,he opened the door for me.

"Sir,where to?",Daryl asked.
"Office"
Soon the car hit the carb and I watched the trees and landscape pass by.

"I'm glad Ishu have you"

Ishan's mother's words were constantly on my mind,forcing me to think about her beautiful raven haired,doe-eyed son even more.

I smiled softly,tracing my fingers along his face in the picture.Soon,my fingers will be touching his real face,his body,his every curve.

"Ishan Kishan will be mine soon",I promised to myself.
