Be Without You

Speak Slowly

Another Person's POV

Shubman was looking around the palace with a basket in his hand full of the sweets his mother made for his Rajkumar.

He walked toward the garden area in the thought of finding Ishan there. After all, it became the favourite place of the prince after he redesigned the whole garden to his liking. Ishan even made some exotic flower exports from other countries which could suit the surroundings of their village.

He is too excited to see Rajkumar after a long week. Ishan was outside of town to meet his Grandmother and do some other important work which Shubman didn't ask but he remembered asking Ishan to bring something for him when he came back.

As soon as he walked close to the garden he heard the soothing sound of Ishan's laugh. It always makes his heart flutter when he hears his deep voice.

"Rajk........"

Shubman's step was held when he saw him showing his gorgeous smile to someone else. The way his face lit up but not at something Shubman said, but for the man standing in front of him with his Rajkumar...

"And I was telling-..."

Finally, Ishan noticed the taller man standing at the entrance of his garden. His smile got wide. He walked closer to him and held his wrist without thinking what it would do to Shubman.

"Ranvijay meet Shubman. One of the best people to be with..."

Shubman can't dare to look away from Ishan. How will he when the man is saying that Shubman is the best to be with him?

Ranvijay notices the shine in Shubman's eyes while looking at Ishan without blinking.

He smirked at the thought which came to his mind. He nodded his head and introduced himself to the young man in front of him.

"Nice to finally see you, Shubman....Ishh talks a lot about you in his letters..."

Shubman flinch from the way Ranvijay called his Rajkumar Ishh. Something doesn't feel right to him. He glared at the man in front of him.

Ranvijay looked like a man who came down straight from the white horse in a girl's dream but he was nothing in comparison to Ishan. After all his Rajkumar holds the strength to make even this ranvijay bow down for him.

Ishan glanced at both of them with a bit of worry. For some reason, he could sense the tension between these two.

"Umm...how about we look around the village?"

Ishan tried to lessen the tension. Ranvijay nods his head with a smile while staring at Ishan. Shubman scoffed and walked away from there with the basket in his hand while leaving a very confused Ishan.

"What happened to him all of a sudden..?"

"Maybe I know..."

"You do...."

"I don't think it would look good on me. Shubhi.."

Ishan said with a pout but Shubman knew how pretty this colour looked on Ishan's pearl-like skin.

"You should give it a go Ishh... After all, Shubman badly wants to see you in it..."

Shubman glanced at him but didn't say anything if it meant Ishan would try this. Ishan looked at Shubman using his puppy eyes.

"Please, Rajkumar...."

Ishan sighed and grabbed the clothes Shubman found for him in the market. He was reluctant to show him when they'd reach the palace only. He walked toward his room to get change.
