Through The Storm [ An Ishman Ff ]

Chapter 9

Shubman entered the room quietly, his eyes immediately finding Ishan. With a gentle smile, he lay down beside him, pulling Ishan closer into a warm back hug. Shubman snuggled against him, feeling the familiar comfort of Ishan's presence. He had missed this warmth, the soothing reassurance of Ishan's body against his own.

The next time Shubman opened his eyes, he heard sounds coming from the bathroom. Without wasting a second, he dashed towards the source of the noise and found Ishan hunched over, throwing up. Rushing to his side, Shubman began rubbing Ishan's back soothingly. Once Ishan had finished, Shubman gently helped him wash his face.

As soon as Ishan straightened up, he clung to Shubman with a desperation that made Shubman's heart ache. Ishan hugged him so tightly it was as if he feared that if he let go, Shubman would vanish. With his head resting on Shubman's chest, Ishan began to cry, his sobs shaking his whole body.
Shubman: Ishan, he whispered, his voice thick with emotion
Ishan: ple...please don't go away from me. I'm sorry shubi. It's my fault. I..i shouldn't have lied to you. I'm so sorry, Shubi. Don't think that I want to get ri...rid of our baby. I love our baby please" His breath came in ragged gasps as he tried to speak through his tears.
Shubman cupped Ishan's face, his eyes filled with tears. "Ishu, please stop crying, baby," he murmured, but Ishan continued to cry and apologize. Seeing Ishan in such distress broke Shubman's heart. He gently lifted Ishan and carried him back to the bedroom, setting him down on the edge of the bed.

Shubman: Shhh, don't panic, baby. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. Breathe, Ishu," Shubman said, wiping away Ishan's tears and caressing his back. His own eyes brimmed with tears, knowing he had caused this pain. He had promised never to let tears fall from Ishan's eyes, and now he was the reason his beloved was crying.
After a while, Ishan's sobs subsided. Shubman made him drink some water before kneeling in front of him and taking his hands.

Shubman: "Baby, you don't need to say sorry. I'm the one at fault. I should have listened to you first instead of lashing out. I'm sorry. I am sorry that I said you wanted to get rid of our baby. I doubted a mother's love for his baby. I am so sorry. I've always understood you, but this time, I failed. I don't know what came over me. How could I not understand you?" Shubman said, tears streaming down his face.

Ishan: No, Shubi, he replied, his voice breaking, "I...i made a mistake too. You're the father of our baby. You had every right to know, and I hid it from you. I lied and broke my promise. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Shubman shook his head, his heart aching.
Shubman: "But you came to tell me right and instead of listening, I shouted at you. I forgot all your efforts, your hard work for your matches. How could I not understand how hard it was for you to make this decision? I forgot the sacrifices you made for me and our baby. Instead of appreciating you, I showed you my anger. I'm sorry, Ishu. he pleaded, his voice cracking with emotion.

Ishan took a deep breath and gently wiped away Shubman's tears.
Ishan: No, Shubi, not this time, he said softly. "Whenever we argue, you always take the blame on yourself so that I won't feel bad. But what about you,? Don't you feel hurt? You've done so much for me. When no one else was there, you were. You definitely didn't deserve this, Shubi."
He looked deeply into Shubman's eyes, his voice trembling with sincerity. "I may have never said it out loud, but I..i am incomplete without you, Shubi. I can't imagine my life without you. People say no one is perfect in this world, but for me, you are that perfect man in my imperfect life."
Shubman's heart ached with a mixture of love and regret as Ishan continued. "You've been my rock, my safe haven.
Every time I felt lost, you found me. Every time I was weak, you gave me strength. And now, I see how much I've hurt you, and it breaks my heart."
Tears welled up in Shubman's eyes again, but this time they were tears of profound love and gratitude.
" You are my heart shubi, my soul." Ishan hugged shubman tightly.

Even though they always received immense support from their parents during tough times, they ultimately sought each other's shoulder to cry on and rely on.
Shubman detached himself for a moment, taking a deep breath before speaking.
Shubman: Never think that you're alone or solely to blame this time. We both made mistakes. Don't believe that you broke your promise or lied to me. No, never. I completely understand what you must have felt, being in that situation all alone. You were going to tell me, right? It's just that you took a little more time than expected. The decision you made to step back is much more significant than the promises we made. I am so proud of you, Ishu. I have always been proud of you. And I promise you, in the future, if something like this happens , I will try to listen to you and understand you before lashing out. Now, I don't want either of us to shed more tears. It's time to celebrate. New happiness is coming to complete us both. I want to cherish this moment with you. I want to enjoy this pregnancy journey with you."
Shubman's eyes glistened with love and determination. "I love you so much, Ishu, and our baby."
Ishan's eyes welled up with tears of joy as he replied, "I love you too, Shub, so much more than you can imagine."

They shared a beautiful kiss full of love, promises, and warmth. But suddenly, Ishan broke the kiss and said with a playful smirk,
Ishan: Because of you, I wasted so many tears, and now I'm going to take revenge for every drop." Before shubman could react the next movement he pouted and added, "and you also made our baby sad. (Mood swings, you know.)
Shubman, with a gentle smile, bent down a little towards Ishan's stomach and said
Shubman : So, what does my baby want Dada to do to make him happy?"
Ishan, his eyes sparkling with mischief, replied, "To make the baby happy, you have to first make Mumma happy."
Shubman chuckled, "Is that so? Okay then, what does Mumma want Dada-oops, I mean Daddy-to do to make mumma happy?" He teased, looking deeply into Ishan's eyes.
Ishan blushed, lightly hitting Shubman's bicep, "Shubbbbbbb."
Shubman pulled Ishan into a tight embrace, their laughter echoing through the room, filling it with joy and love.

Shubman: Now come, let's have our little happy dance that we always do after our little fights but this time with our little baby too," he said, extending his hand toward Ishan with a playful smile.
Ishan immediately took his hand, a warm glow spreading across his face. As they stood close, Shubman began to sing like always. And here we gooo
मैं ता तेरे नाल ही रहना जी
हर गम संग तेरे सहना जी
जो जग से कहा ना जाए वो
मुझको बस तुझसे कहना जी
सोहना सोहना इतना भी कैसे तू सोहना
सोहना सोहना इतना भी कैसे तू सोहना
तेरे इश्क़ में जोगी होना
मैनू जोगी होना।

The room seemed to brighten as they moved in unison, swaying gently to the rhythm of the unspoken bond they shared.
The moment felt so beautiful, so
alive, and so peaceful. Their giggles and laughter echoed in the room, filling the space with warmth and joy. Shubman squeezed Ishan tightly in his embrace, planting a gentle kiss on his head. They both knew that problems would inevitably come in the future, but as long as they had each other, they could face anything together. And definitely ishan doesn't have to be worried when
Shubman be like: जद फ़ाड़ के हाथ मेरा आ कहवे ना डर या कर। मैं नाल खड़ा हा तेरे तू फिकर ना कर या कर।
