chp - 9

Rohit , Bumrah , Surya , Tilak & Hardik reached the hospital

At the hospital
Mayank
Doctors are running some tests on him to check if he is fine .

Rohit
If he asks about Shubman what are we supposed to say ?

Surya
That Shubman is a bloody fucker

Mayank
He won't ask and if he does I will look after it .

Doctor
You can go meet him but only 2 at a time .

Everyone
I will go first

Rohit
Mayank & I will go then you all will go . Do you understand

Hardik
But-

Rohit
I know you are really close to him but I can't stay and wait to meet him .
( Rohit & Mayank enter the room Ishan was kept in , looking at Ishan's emotionless face Rohit starts crying)

Mayank
Ishu are you alright? Does it hurt somewhere?

Ishan
No it doesn't. I am completely fine
( Ishan said without expressing any emotion through his voice or face. )

Rohit
Ishuuu Mera baccha y-you had a m-miscarriage.

Ishan
Oh ( not even a single year left his eye . ) When can we leave?

Mayank
Ishu you are weak right now you have to stay here for a few days .

Ishan

Rohit
You cannot play this IPL season the doctor told us . Even if there are chances you will play that will be only the last few matches .

Mayank
Ishu yesterday's match we won it

Ishan
Oh

Rohit
Please speak a little bit .Say something that I know you are fine . Please

Ishan
Bhai don't say please I told you I am completely fine . I am sleepy .Can you both leave so that I can sleep .
( Rohit left the room)

Mayank
I am not leaving your side . ( He hugs Ishan) I know you are not fine . I know you are hurting most in your head and heart . I know everything I am your best friend I understand when I look at you . There is no point in lying. You can cry all you want you can say everything you are feeling in your heart I will listen. I just want you to know I am here I am always here so please just tell me whatever you are feeling.
( Ishan pushes Mayank)

Ishan
I am completely alright. I don't feel like crying or saying anything to you I want to be alone and if you are my friend I want you to respect that .

Mayank
Then I will say I am not your friend I won't leave your side . I am going to stay with you . I am happy that you are awake it was hard to see you unconscious.

5 days later

Ishan got discharged. Mayank took him to a house he bought in Mumbai for the past few days Ishan was eating and sleeping but he wasn't interested in talking to anyone.
Mayank & Rohit did not let Ishan use his mobile as the internet was full of questions. Ishan did not object to anything all he wanted was to be alone but Mayank was not leaving him alone even for a second.
Now MI had to leave for another match to another place but Ishan & Mayank did not tag along .

Mayank
Come out Ishuuuuuuuuuuuuu letsssss eaaaaattttt.
( Mayank shouted from the dining table waiting for Ishan to come out of the room and eat )
