Affair Of The Heart

Chapter - 22

Author's POV
**************

Shubman was sitting on floor while leaning against the wall with ishan sitting between his legs. His hands were wrapped around younger's waist in a protective manner.

There was peaceful silence between them.

"Shub.." Suddenly ishan called breaking the silence.

"Hmm?" He hummed softly in response, looking at the man leaning on his chest.

And when ishan looked up, Shubman's heart stuttered. There were tears in younger's eyes, he immediately become worried.

"You...you are not marrying her right?" Ishan asked while sniffing.

Shubman smiled lovingly at the innocent boy before pecking his lips tenderly. He cupped his face in his hands, his eyes locked in Ishan's.

"Baby, I was never going to marry her. I was just pretending to, hoping you'd admit the truth about what your heart want. And now that you have, I promise to never let you go..."

His graze was burning with intensity and adoration. His voice was low and gentle, dripping with emotion, filling Ishan's heart with with joy and love.

"You are the only one i dream of, the one i carve...I love you more with every breath i take, more with every moment i spent...I love you with every fiber of my soul..."

Ishan didn't know how many heartbeats did his heart skip while listening to those words. A big smile spread across his lips.

Both of them know, maybe this is forbidden but their love is pure, true and unstoppable.

"When I first realised my feelings for you, I was terrified and disgusted by myself..."

Shubman pecked his lips once again, cutting him off in between.

"Don't say like that..."

Ishan smiled at him before continuing,

"I used to cry every night, thinking of myself as disappointment. Then that day on camp, in car I realised that both of us are on the same boat, that time I didn't know what to do or think, I was so scared of whatever was happening..."

Ishan chocked on his sob. Shubman start placing comfort small kisses on Ishan's shoulder and neck while his hands rubbed his waist to calm Ishan.

" And the day when you kissed me, I let my feelings control me and later I promised to never let it happen again...but again, just like my other promises, this promise was also broken...it was eating and breaking me from inside so when mom suggested the marriage thing for you, I said okay, thinking it's for best...silly right?"

Ishan was sobbing by now. He keep sniffing in between. Shubman was not different, his eyes were also moist. He took Ishan's hand and placed a kiss on the back of his hand.

"My silly baby..." Shubman whispered.

Ishan nodded and intertwined his fingers hand with Shubman's.

"But when I saw you with her, it was like someone was squeezing my heart brutally, making it so hard to breathe...i'm really sorry shub for hurting you all this time, i'm a bad pers-..."

Shubman shushed him while placing his finger on younger's lips.

"Shh..No more baby..."

Ishan removed his finger from his lips and stare in his eyes before saying,

"I Love you shub, your baby loves you so so much.."

Shubman stare at him with immense love in his eyes. It still feel like some kind of dream, that he can hold his love this intimately.
