......

After the time Ishan came, practice was cancelled for the rest of the day. Shubman wasn't happy bout this.

He wanted to practice but Rohit Bhai told him to rest and talk to everyone for the time being, especially to Ishan.

Shubman groaned inside in annoyance. He didn't talk to Ishan, obviously. He knew if he looked at the boy once more, he would lash out on him.

He, himself was amazed to know that he had so much anger in him, but why? He doesn't know. He just wants the boy out of the team. He just wants the best players in the team.

He just stood in one corner of the room where Ishan and the rest of them were standing and laughing.

"Urgh! He's laugh is so damn annoying!" Shubman gritted his teeth in anger.

Ishan would sometimes glance at him and they would occasionally eye contact. Ishan immediately looked away, but Shubman kept his gaze constant and made the other extremely uncomfortable.

"Okay! So everyone! Let's go now! Practice resumes from tomorrow!" Rohit Bhai announced.

They all nodded.

"Ishan, you'll be staying with Shubman, in his room as there's an extra bed." Virat bhai said.

Ishan was nervous but eventually nodded with a cute smile. Virat smiled back.

They all were staying in a hotel nearby. Some shared their rooms while some were solo.

Shubman hearing this, immediately protested.

"Bhaiya! But why? He can also stay with Surya bhaiya na!" Shubman said.

"Shubman! What the hell happened to you?! He's a new player! And Surya will be changing his room cause his room has some problems." Virat replied.

"Urgh...!" Shubman groaned.

Ishan didn't have a good feeling about this.

Everyone slowly started exiting the room and went towards their respective cars and started their engines.

"Shubman, take Ishan with you as the car is already filled, no more arguments!" Rohit Bhai order.

Shubman nodded.

As soon as they left, only Ishan and Shubman were left there, alone.

Ishan could feel suffocated. Shubman just stared at him with an intense gaze. Ishan almost felt chocked under such a gaze.

Shubman started to pack his kit and started to walk towards the door. Ishan just followed him like a lost puppy.

All these gestures made Shubman's blood boil more and more. He considered all these as over acting and an attention seeking attention.

Shubman didn't say a single thing, just kept clenching his fists. Ishan gulped seeing all the veins popping out, like Shubman would beat the hell out of him right there.

They finally reached the car. Shubman unlocked the door from afar with his keys. He opened the back seat and placed his kit there and closed the door.

Ishan just kept watching him in silence like a student learning from his teacher. He gulped as he again made eye contact with him. The tall figure gave him another death glare and stood there, infront of him, hands folded over his chest.

They just kept staring at each other, or rather Ishan stared at him and Shubman just glared at him.

"Are you stupid? Or are you planning on standing here for the rest of the night?!" Shubham said with a very harsh tone.

Ishan could swear that tears were collected in his eyes and were ready to fall at any time. He never imagined that someone would talk to him with such harshness in their tone.

"I—I... T-That...ac—" Ishan shuttered, his voice at the verge of breaking.

"Urgh! Where the heck am I stuck?!" Shubman almost yelled.

Ishan jolted at the sudden outburst and immediately stepped back.

"Get the fuck inside the car!"

Without wasting another second, he opened the front passenger's seat and was about to sit when he was pulled back by his wrist harshly.

"A—Ah!—"

Ishan was harshly slammed against the car door by Shubman. He closed his eyes in pain.
Shubman pinned his wrist which he used to pull him out and placed the other just beside him to trap him.

"Listen, you newbie!!" Shubman gritted his teeth in utter anger.

Ishan slowly and steadily opened eyes, only to meet a pair of angry and dark eyes which were glowing almost red.

Ishan became so scared that he almost swore he saw a ghost. His heart beat increased at an alarming rate.

"I'll be just tolerating you because Virat and Rohit bhaiya told me to, okay?! And you better fucking play well or else I'll fucking beat the crap out of you and then kick you out with utter humiliation!" Shubman said, voice only covered in anger and rage.

Ishan would occasionally close his eyes in terror. Now a single stream of tears flowed down his cheek, but Shubman obviously ignored that.

"Get that through your thick skull!!" Shubman harshly tapped the side of Ishan's temple, making his head occasionally jerk to a side.

Ishan pressed his eyes closed as he let a few more tears escape.

Seeing the tears, somehow triggered more anger in Shubman and he could swear that if he would be any more close to this boy, he would beat the pulp out of him.

He immediately let go of Ishan and looked him up and down in utter disgust and went to the other side, to his driver's seat.

Hearing the door open, Ishan slowly opened his eyes and shakily breathed out and took large gulps of air to stabilize his breaths.

"Why...is...this happening...to me...?" Ishan softly uttered as he rubbed away his tears.

"Hey! You idiot! Get in the car fast! I don't have the whole world's time!" Shubman yelled making Ishan almost jump.

"S-Sorry..." Ishan  opened the door and sat.

Shubman sighed again. Ishan frowned.

'What now...?'  Ishan thought with worry.

"The FUCKING seat belt!!" Shubman again yelled making Ishan jump completely now.

Ishan immediately took the seat belt and tied. Without wasting another second, Shubman started the car and started to drive towards their hotel.

Throughout the whole journey, one thing kept going through Ishan's head...

'Still a whole night has to pass, how am I supposed to survive with this devil...?'
