10th December , 2013.
The morning light of summer peeks through the branches of school' s oldest Banyan tree, which was quietly standing in the middle of the ground for who knows how long.
The tree probably witnessed children falling on the ground to hurt their knees, kids grow up to be teenagers, sudden young love confessions, childish banters, tears of unexpected responsibilities on young shoulders, last goodbyes.... and many more.
In the midst of chaos in the playground, Shubman Gill sits on the ground with his friend, Abhishek, just beneath the Banyan tree.
Shubman seems excited and fidgety.
The dimple boy smirks and blurts out
"Abhi, guess kar aj kya leke aya hu"
Shubman sneaks out his new small screen-touch phone and headphones from his bag and shows them to Abhishek.
"aree Bhai ye kab kharida be! Colour mast hai ye!" Abhishek squeals , checking out the white cover of the phone.
Shubman grins "ha yaar bas teacher se bachake rakhna hai"
Shubman puts on one headphone in his left ear and shares the right one with Abhishek.
"Sahi kaha, bell bajne se pehle chupana hai bag me"
Abhishek suggests, taking out his notebook to complete the last sum of maths homework.
Shubman nodes smiling as he looks around, leaning his back on the Banyan tree.
Shubman scrolled through the folder downloaded songs and tapped on his 'favourites' playlist.
He closed his eyes listening to the music. Music is shubman's escape, his solace.
As the lyrics hit, he doesn't know why, he opened his eyes.
Ankho me teri
His eyes landed on a boy, walking in, cheeks red from smiling too much.
Ajab si ajab si adaye hai
The boy's eyes shined in sunlight, which are slightly covered soft strands of his black hair, the hair also reached till his neck, looking quite messy.
Dilko bana de jo patang
He kept laughing with the girl with him, slightly long eyelashes fluttered ever so prettily.
Saansein ye teri vo hawaayein hain
The bright smile made the boy glow, making him only one visible for shubman's eyes.
Shubman forgot to breath for a second.
A shake woke shubman up from the daze.
"Muh to band karo uncle!"
Abhishek laughed, noticing shubman's distracted state.
"Kisko ghur raha hai bhai?" Abhishek wiggled his eyebrows.
Shubman coughed.
"Ye Naya ladka hai kya? Pehle kabhi nahi dekha" Shubman said after, pointing at the boy, whom he certainly found too beautiful.
"Are ha, ye to apne hi gali me shift hua hai, bihari family hai. Ise school me admission liya hai phir, wo ladki uski cousin hi hai shayad"
Abhishek said, giving the boy a glance, then going back to his work.
"Sundar"
"Kya?" Abhishek looked back at him.
"I- I mean that's good! great!bohot accha, Sundar"
Abhishek gave him a suspicious look, then decided to leave him and complete his work. His friend is half mad anyways.
Shubman, trying to shrug the sudden rush of feelings off, closes his eyes again, enjoying the song.
Kitna kuch kehna hai
Fir bhi hai dil mein sawaal kaheen...
Ring Ring
The bell of first period rang and all the students went back to their seats.
A man in his 40s entered the room , with a guy of average height following him.
"Attention students, this is our new student. Beta , introduce yourself"
The man lightly pushes the boy forward.
"Good morning, my name is Ishan Kishan , nice to meet you all. Looking forward to be friends with you all"
The guy said, with his bright smile on.
My name is Ishan kishan
Shubman who was busy doodling on notebook, quickly looked up as if deer caught his eyes.
Ishan.
Shubman felt his heart beating fast.
Damn that is probably the sweetest name he heard.
Shubman's gaze fell on the guy.
Fuck, ITS HIM?!!!
THE PRETTY GUY IS IN HIS CLASS?!
"Udhar, go sit beside Shubman on third bench , there's space"
The class teacher of 10th standard, Mr.sharma guided the boy.
Ishan walked towards the bench, his smile never leaving his face.
On the other hand Shubman was too drowned into looking at how ishan's eyes are so perfect, shubman's gaze following him like a fool.
"Hello" Ishan said, putting his bag on the desk before sitting on the bench.
Shubman stared at him, not even blinking once.
"Hello? Earth to Shubman!"
That made the dimple guy come out of his daze.
"O-oh um hi"
Shubman said, smiling nervously.
"Oh you like cricket too!" Ishan said , pointing at the shubman's notebook where he was trying to draw how to set up fielders in a cricket match.
"Oh um, yeah, I will be the next captain of school's cricket team once I am in class 11th, I am already in class 10, so tryna um practice"
Shubman rambled on, trying to hide his recent embarrassment for staring at him like a fool.
He chuckled nervously.
"That's great! I love cricket too! I was looking forward to join the school team too, great that I met you, can you please help me talk to them"
Ishan said looking straight at him.
Fuck, those eyes.
"Of course, I will Ishan" Shubman said, looking down, he no longer wanted to embarrass himself.
"Thank you!"
Shubman felt butterflies in his stomach.
