THEM 'Ishman'

Rain and the lift...

It was raining cats and dogs! A boy was standing inside a shop's shelter to protect himself from the rain. He was cursing on his phone while talking with his friends.

"Ahh..When it will stop." Ishan groned in front of his friends.

"You are a idiot, Ishan." Tilak said.

"Yeah, who the fuck goes to eat momos in the middle of night." Mayanak said.

"And in monsoon season." Surya said.

"Bro has been living in Mumbai for last two years but doesn't know the basic rules of Mumbai." Siraj said while laughing.

"Don't laugh guys. I am in a problem here, there is no sign for any cab or taxi here." Ishan said while eyeing around his surroundings.

"Hey, what do you guys think about Godawari, will prabha accept her? She is so cruel and dangerous, like, how can she put salt in ras malai." Mayank said.

"Yeah, today's episode was so good." Siraj said.

"What happened at today's episode? I missed it, oh god." Ishan asked.

"Bro, in today's episode, Godawari took her crocodile form and roamed around the house and Pradeep was about to see her but her ex-lover came there and saved her." Tilak said.

"What, who the fuck is the ex-lover now?" Surya asked.

"Bro, this time there is a new one, a mosquito." Siraj said.

Leaving the main topic aside, they all started talking about their favorite serial. Wasting about twenty minutes, Ishan remembered his situation and again started panicking, just when a car stopped in front of him.

"Hey, are you okay?"The man from inside the car asked.

Ishan looked in the direction of the voice but couldn't see the face because there was no light. Ishan did not know what to do in this situation, the rain was not looking like it may stop before one or two more hours and he can't even ask his crackheads friends about it.

"Mmm.. I am kinda stuck here." Ishan said a little nervously.

"Well, I can drop you off if you are comfortable." The man said turning on the light inside to make Ishan a little comfortable.

Ishan in code language asked his friends about it and the show started, some were opposing and some were telling dark romance stuff. Ishan ignored them and did what he felt was right. He agreed to the ride.

On the other hand, Shubman did not know why he stopped his car for a stranger in the middle of the road at night but the guy was looking innocent and needed some help.

"Ahh this, motherfucker!!" Ishan shouted.

"Are you calling me that?" Shubman said, pointing to himself in disbelief. Shubman came out of the car to help Ishan to put his bags in the backseat.

"Nooo are you insane, why would I call you that?" Ishan knew it was a bad idea but couldn't do anything, he had to take the lift. Ishan said and sat on the passenger's seat but Shubman was standing outside in the rain.

"Hey, I am..." Before Shubman could finish he was pulled into the car by Ishan.

Shubman had no idea what he was doing but here he was, don't know why but that little is something that Shubman can't deny. Both sat comfortably and stared at each other for some seconds.

"Well, you are handsome." Ishan blurted out accidently.

"Dude stop checking me out and just tell me where am I supposed to drop you because I don't want to be robbed or something by you." Shubman instantly saw Ishan's cheeks heating up when he pointed out the shorter boy's actions, a blush crept all around Ishan's cheeks.
