Affair Of The Heart

Chapter - 23

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

Next day, it was ishan's last exam today.

On the dinning table, Whole family was enjoying their breakfast peacefully except a certain someone more specifically our ishan.

He keep moving on his seat. He lowered his head and gave subtle glare at the person sitting beside him, who seems totally unbothered by his glare.

Ishan huffed inwardly and kicked Shubman's leg, under table. Now finally older turn to look at him with a raised eyebrow and amused expressions.

Ishan made an eye contact with him and signalled him through his eyes, to let his hand go, this instant.

Their parents are sitting right infront of them for god sake! And they definitely can't afford their parents noticing anything.

Shubman's graze flickered at their intertwined hands under table before shifting back to ishan.

"What happened ish?" Shubman asked aloud hiding a teasing smirk.

This caught other two's attention too as now they are also looking at Ishan.

Ishan gave another fierce glare to Shubman before smiling at his parents clumsily.

He hurriedly made up lie before replying to shubman's question.

"It's nothing...I just wanted to ask are you done? If yes, then let's go...I don't wanna be late..."

Shubman let out chuckle under his breath before nodding with a smile,

"Sure! i'm done let's go..."

Both of them stood up and bid their goodbyes to Old Gill couple before making their way towards exit.

They come out of mansion and Shubman frowned when he saw ishan walking extra fast, without waiting for him and not even looking at him.

Is ishan angry at him because of his teasing just now?

Actually it's possible as ishan doesn't like people teasing him.

So thinking like this, he increased his walking speed and get a hold of ishan's wrist, stopping his steps.

"What's wrong ish?" He asked softly.

Ishan stood there, still not facing other. He pulled his wrist from other's grip before replying,

"Let's talk inside the car Shub..."

Shubman sighed before making his way towards the car, both of them get inside the car. He started the engine and drove away from there.

On the road, there was an uncomfortable silent among them. Shubman keep glancing at ishan, waiting for him to speak up.

Finally he couldn't take it and decided to ask once again,

"Can you tell now what is it?"

Ishan looked at him with slightly upset expression before giving a punch on Shubman's shoulder, making other stare at him in confusion.

"Why did you do that at breakfast table?! Didn't you see, Our parents were right there! What if they gets suspicious!..."

Although ishan didn't wanted to but still his voice come out as rude. And Shubman's expressions immediately turned gloomy as he heard younger.

"It's not like kissed you infront of them or something! I just held your hand, what's so big about it?..." He answered gloomily.

Ishan frowned at that careless reply.
