Will you make it on time ?

Chapter 29

Shubman's pov:-

I got to know about everything that happened today from Ishan and Tilak. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

All that was going on in my mind was that it could be done by whom.

It was like the time around me went back six years from where it all started.

"Why would he come back after six years?" I said while looking at Ishan with a furrow on my face.

"We are not sure if it's him. It could be someone else." Tilak said while sitting beside me and handing me a glass of water.

"Well who else could it be? Who would be interested in taking pictures of our house without any reason?" Ishan said while running his both hands through his hair.

"Calm down Ishu. I know that you are scared but trust me I won't let anything happen to you." I said while patting his back gently.

"You don't get it. I am not just scared for myself. I am scared for you. I am scared for our child. I am scared for our family and friends. If anything happens to them, I would feel like it's my fault." Ishan slammed his hand on the table. He got up from his seat and shouted.

His voice was breaking and eyes were becoming watery. All of us remained silent for some seconds.

Tilak was about to speak again but he was cut off when Ayan shouted.

"Mumma! Mumma!" He was shouting from upstairs. Ishan wiped his tears and said.

"Coming bacha!" The last thing that he said before leaving us alone was.

"You guys go ahead and have dinner. Ayan has already eaten and I have lost my appetite." He was walking towards the door when I spoke.

"But-" I was going to convince him to eat but he stopped me and said.

"Don't try to convince me to eat." After saying that he left the kitchen and went upstairs.

Both me and Tilak remained silent for some time. Only the sound of our heavy breathing could be heard.

I got up from the chair and went to the counter to serve food for both of us. While I was doing so, Tilak decided to break the silence.

"Do you also believe that it's Mayank?" Tilak said while crossing his arms and resting his head on them after placing them on the table.

"I don't know. It could be. But why would he come back after six years?" I said while pausing and staring at the wall for a bit.

I was not sure either if it was him or someone else. It could be a robber or burglar.

"I don't think that it's him. Ishan is just scared that is why he seems to think that's it's him." Tilak said while taking the plate from my hand and placing it on the table.

After serving the food we both sat on the dinning chair and chatted while eating our food.

"We will do something about this situation. First we need proof, I will try to click his photo or something if he shows up again." Tilak said while eating his pasta.

"Drop the topic now. It's already frustrating enough." I said while eating the pasta and looking up at him.

I changed the topic to divert his attention from this topic.

"What about you and Abhishek? How's everything's going?" I said while drinking some water.

"Well it's complicated. I-I-we had a little fight." Tilak said while biting the inside of his cheeks.
