Ishan ran

Ran with his book


And his customer was right after him but he doesn't give a shit


After running for like- 3 minutes, the guy was like- "Stawp Dude!"


Ishan stopped and looked at him for a minute before asking - "WHY? "


The guy had the decency to look ashamed


"I- I'm really sorry. You had to save me from a bunch of people. And you don't even know me?!"



Ishan- "that's okay dude, you were in trouble, i helped you. Afterall, that's what a good human does right? And what is your name anyways?"



Guy- "my name is mayank. You didn't know that?"



Ishan- "um..was i supposed to know? But I'm still very pissed at you"



Mayank- "oh, I'm very sorry about your book-"



Ishan screamed at him- "YOU BETTER BE YOU DUMBASS?! WHAT IF IT GOT RUINED? HUH"


Mayank just looked at him dumbfounded and muttered another apology.



Mayank- "I can't thank you enough for today, please tell me how can I pay you back? "





Ishan thought for a second

"...well, you don't have to tell this to me but...why were those two guys after you? Did you do something wrong? Or were they just bullying you?"




Mayank sighed



"Well, it's a long story.."


Ishan- "where do you live?"




Mayank- "huh?"



Ishan- "behera hai kya? "




Mayank- "aare nai nai, i just got surprised at the question...but i live near the xxxxxxxxxxxx"




Ishan- "ayo no wayyy, that's literally where I liveee!! How come we never met?"




Mayank- "maybe it was fate?"




Ishan- "haan to then, tell me your story, I've got time, we've got time"

Mayank- "well, the guys that were after me are a part of some Mafia. And my uncle, he just- lost all his money gambling and then borrowed from them. "




He paused



Ishan- "then?"




Mayank- "phir kya, he lost that money too and is begging my father to help him repay that amount. But my father never had a good relationship with him...so now, the mafia just wants its money back and well, I was the first Target today.."





Ishan- "I've read so many stories with similar plots. Do you know what would happen if you were your uncle's child?"




Mayank- "no.. enlighten me please? "




Ishan- "your uncle would sell you to the mafia and you would be turned into their slave and later the mafia boss will ultimately fall in love with your irresistible charm, which you do not possess but yes."





Mayank just stared at him, his mouth open and eyes blown out



Ishan looked at him- "what?"
