Hashtag ishdik is real

ch:2

As I am deciding what to wear. I just can't stop thinking about the ishdik page. I just wanna go through it again. But i guess I won't get a chance until tonight. So I discarded the thought and got ready.

I decided we'll go to a movie So I dressed casually.

I go to hardik's room and knock. Krunal opens the door.
"Mera baccha, mujhse Milne aaya hai!" Krunal said happily hugging me at the door.

"Tera nhi mera hai wo, aur mujhe bahar le jane aaya hai!" Hardik shouted coming outside

Krunal Bhai looked me with sad eyes.
"Mujhe nhi bulaya tune Ishu, aur bs isko le k ja rha hai ghumane?" Krunal said

"Hat na raste se, mujhe le k ja raha hai kyun k main itne din bad waps aaya hun , Jeet k. Tu toh waise bhi yahin tha aur tum dono toh waise hi maze kar rahe the. Aab bech may mat aa hum ja rahe hain" hardik said

And grabbed my hand as he walked out. Hardik is annoying but at times he does some sweet gestures, that'll make you feel really special.
Is it this nature of hardik towards me that made the fans ship us together?

I still don't know what they see .

We got into his car as he drove us to the cinema.
Technically i should be driving coz I am the one taking him out, but why should I pass on a chance if I get to sit on the passanger seat and just enjoy the ride.

We chose a romcom . My favorite genre honestly. And there's comedy so hardik will like it too.

It was intentionally that we got cornor seats. Not because of what people think. But to be away from people. And to hide our selves. The movie was pretty boring. And my hands were itching to check my phone for anything on ishdik. Will people make up more posts if they get to know about today? Just me and hardik hanging out together?.

Maybe they will.

During The whole movie hardik kept laughing so hard. Some people from front turned around to give us a look. They probably didn't recognise us, we were all masked up and with caps and sun glasses. Just imagine sitting in the dark of the movie theatres with all that , it was so uncomfortable. But I am kinda used to it now. I had to go out a lot like this , when I am with Aditi.
Yes, Aditi, she's my childhood friend, I just can't ditch her, now coz I am a cricketer. She deserves all the care and company. Plus i love hanging out with her.
I got near hardik's ear and whispered
"Can you just stay a lil quiet? People keep looking at us , what if the find out who we are?" I said.

"Ayee!! Don't be a kill joy, no-one will recognise us." He said and again busted out with laughter.

I loved his laugh. How can someone not love it. It's so cute.
At a point there was a lil sad plot. I turned to look at hardik he had tears in his eyes.

I look at him and think 'this man has such a pure heart, he shows every emotion that he's feeling right at the moment ' like hardik was crying so hard at the finals.
Do people believe i deserve someone so pure and good hearted? That they're shipping me with this man?

"Will you quit looking at me and look at the screen instead? We paid to look at the movie. You can look at me all you want for free when we're done with the movie!" Hardik said. Breaking the chain of my thoughts

I turned to the screen and it was all funny again. The end was near and it's going to be a happy ending. As all Indian movies have.
'agar happy ending na ho toh, kahani abhi baki hai mere dost'.

'will I have a happy ending ?' i think leaving the theater.

Rolling through the crowd hardik was guiding me by holding my hands. I really like it when he holds my hand.

We decided to have some food before returning to the hotel.

"You remember that scene when the lead actor, just smacked the bad guys , the action scenes were so funny. "

"And when the main leads finally confessed ,it so so sweet. I almost cried."

Hardik kept talking about the movie all through the lunch.
"You did cry" I say

"No I didn't, .... O ok maybe a lil" and he laughed and kept talking about the whole movie.

We drove back to the hotel. And i just wanted to get some rest but he stayed in my room , we didn't talk much we both were just using our phones while laying on the bed . Hardik rolled around and crashed on me.

"Why were you looking at me so intensely at the theatre?" Hardik asked

What should I say? Why was I looking at him?
I was looking at him to find out why people want us to be together.
Well they don't want us to be together, they already imagine that we might be .

"It's nothing" I say
"No it's something, tell me" he said and elbowed my side.
So I just randomly say

"Your outfit is looking good" I say.
"But you were looking at my face" he says.

"Nah I just like your shirt " I say still scrolling through SNS.

He sat up and started unbuttoning his shirt. And throw it on my head.

"Yaar! Kar kay rahe ho aap" I said

"Take it, It'll look good on you too. My choice is always good" he said and stood up. Putting on the t-shirt I was wearing early, before leaving this morning.

"I'll be off now" he walked towards the door

"You could have given it to me after washing it!!" I said.

"Well my scent will also be good on you!" He said closing the door as he went out.

His scent? Good on me?

This man is so cheesy.
I put the shirt aside.
And finally open the ishdik dedicated page.

I am stunned to see a very dark pic of the movie theatres in the story.
It says
"Movie date?"
"My heart is melting for these two,!"

Who is this person, they know about the movie but didn't create a scene. Seemed not as bad as other stalkers.

Then I see the latest post. It's a sketch of one of the pics of me and hardik long back.

Captain says, "guys there this new fanfic i found and the author drew this. Isn't this super cute? Do follow the story. It's kinda realistic 🤭"

Fan fiction? What's that?

So I google it.
