chapter 3

Shubman's pov

Next morning I woke up to cold and empty sheet beside me. That means he didn't come last night. The sheet was as neat as I remember from the night.

But then I saw a pillow and blanket spread on the couch. Gentleman, I see.

So looked around for him but there was no presence of any other person in the room. I checked my phone to see the time. It's six in the morning, so I get half an hour to freshen up.

When I reached the gym, almost everyone was present there but the one who demanded my attention was that cold midget.

He was doing planks in a red tshirt and black shorts. He had his earpods on cutting him off of all the other noises in the gym. His hair was damped with sweat and tshirt was wet. I could faintly make out the drops of sweat beads sitting on his back of neck and arms. Suddenly my throat felt dry.

Bhai apna workout karle baad m pure din usko goorh teh rahio. Shreyas bhai's voiced pulled me out of my trance.

This man is not good for my sanity. I need to keep my distance from him. So I went to opposite part and continued my workout.

Around 8:30 we were freed from the workout session.

Ishan had already left half an hour ago, no, actually Rohit bhaiya and Jassi Bhai threatened him to leave. According to them his time limit is too much. So while walking back I asked Shrey bhai

That's because first thing he is isonomic and second he works throughout the day. So 3-4 hours of gym is too much for him that's why we  have to force him to leave.

Wow, I didn't know this about that grumpy pants. No wonder his physique is to die for.

Ok enough about him.

After showering and change I moved to dinning hall for breakfast. But where is that blank face ?? No Shubi don't think about him too. Shrugging I entered the dining area. Some were already present and some yet to come.

I took a seat between Sky Bhai and Siraj. I curiously took a look of my surrounding but couldn't spot him. A little sense of disappointment settles within me but I shake it off. Can't take up the chance to spoil anything.

Out of nowhere, a sudden topic was broached.

Bhai aap Ishu se baat karo na. The guy I talked about is really good. Hardik Bhai said. What are they talking about??

You know him Harry, Ishan will not agree to it.

But bhaiya uska aise single rehna is also not good. Aap khud uski condition hum sabse jayada better jante ho. Now my curiosity perked up. Are they trying to set him up, that too with a guy (!) and no one is objecting it.

Is Ishan gay ??

Surya Ishan and date is equal to disaster. Remember pervious one's. Virat bhai said in a reminding tone. So they have set him up before too. But why are they taking so much effort for him.

The last boy he went on a date had swollen cheeks for a week straight. Jaddu bhaiya snickered.

Ouch !!! Poor guy, like really who could handle such coldy and hot headed guy. He is only 5'6" but has so much of attitude and temper filled in.

Aare leave that. Remember that girl, poor child had to cut her hair short. Jinx bhai said in a pitiful tone.

So guys please stop trying to set him up. Jab right person mil jayega toh he will settle down. Bhuvi bhaiya said in his always sweet and calm manner.

Out of all the senior players he is the sweetest one. I really like him.

Now from their discussion I have drawn some conclusions. First, he is bisexual prolly. Second, he is very much adored in the team and holds importance for them. Third and last, no one is indifferent to him. They treat him same like others, like a little brother.

This team is really great.

Oh Ishan, come and join us boy. Jaddu bhaiya invited him.

Sorry bhaiya but I am here to say tha bhaiya is in town so I'll be out for the day. And I'm not sure if I'll return in the night or not.

And like that he was gone.

Though the whole day I spent my day with the team, somehow a sense of void was present. It felt like something was missing.

After dinner when I entered our shared room, the feeling only increased. I was feeling so restless and sleep was far away from my eyes. It's not like I had someone  then why is this effecting me so ??

So I thought to scroll through reels. I picked up my half cracked phone and opened my Insta.

While scrolling I stumbled upon an old video from Mumbai Indians. But what was surprising was that Ishan was laughing freely and playing cricket with the members.

So that's why he is quite close to the team. But man, his shots are so perfect and clean. Why didn't he became a player instead of team manager (!) ??

Whatever, it's his life and he can do anything.
