Will you make it on time ?

Chapter 38

Ishan's pov:-

*Bang*

The shot has been fired.

"Shubman!" I shouted while pulling him closer to me to prevent him from getting shot. We both closed our eyes tightly after the sudden loud thud of gunshot.

After some seconds, we opened our eyes. I checked Shubman to see if he was hurt anywhere.

He was not hurt. When I turned my head towards Mayank, the sight that I saw shocked me to my core. He was lying there deceased like a corpse.

"Did he really shoot himself?" I asked Shubman who was equally shocked as me. He looked at me with a shocked face.

The sight was making us feel nauseous. After some seconds, the police entered the house. Abhi and Tilak were also with them.

Then we were send to hospital. After some interrogation, we were proven innocent. The case went on for many weeks. Abhi told me everything that happened when I confronted him.

I was not in speaking terms with Abhi. Even though I knew that it was not his fault many things could have gone wrong. There could have been many different outcomes of this situation.

We do talk but it's not the same as before. I tried to forgive him but still a part in my heart was not willing to do it. They still visit us but our bonding is not the same as before.

Two year later,

I was sleeping on the bed. When I turned a bit, I realized that there was no one next to me.

I was looking for Shubman and Ayan. It was 12:45 am. Where can they go at this hour?

"Where did they go?" I said while removing the blanket and walking downstairs.

I went to the living room to check if they were there. Not gonna lie, it made me feel scared after not seeing them sleeping beside me.

But Mayank is not here anymore even though he still haunt me and Shubman in our dreams.

I was looking around the living room when I heard some voices coming from the kitchen. It was Shubi's voice. I went to the kitchen and peeked inside.

"This is a secret just between us. Don't tell your Mumma about it." Shubman said while handing Ayan a small bowl of ice cream.

Ayan clapped his small hands happily after seeing the chocolate ice cream which he love the most.

My heart melted after seeing the sight. I leaned on the door and said.

"Eating ice cream without me huh?" I said while leaning on the door and crossing my hands.

Shubman and Ayan looked in my direction and slammed their hand on their head after being caught.

"Hey Ishu I didn't know you were up." Shubman said while scratching the back of his neck while showing his dimple smile.

"Why are you guys eating ice cream at this hour?" I said while walking towards them and tickling Ayan.

He was laughing while trying to stop me. His smile was almost as same as Shubi. Shubman was right Ayan was really his carbon copy.

"Well Ayan woke up in the middle of the night and said that he want ice cream. He showed me his doe eyes you know. I couldn't resist them so I took him here." Shubman said while pulling a chair for me.

"You know he has to go to school tomorrow. Waking up in the middle of the night will ruin his sleep cycle." I said while sitting on the chair and taking a bite from Shubman's ice cream.
