Is it too late?

Chapter-7 (2018, Past)

Shubman's POV (23rd December 2018)(7:52 pm, Mumbai, India)

"shub you know , my friends asked me to come to zoo and I declined them, you know why?" shahneel said as she kept her phone aside "why?" I asked her as I kept the vessel containing dal makhani on the dining table.

"I said to them that , why waste money at zoo when I can just look at my sibling for free" shahneel said with a smirk on her face while I gave her a look like I will bury her 6 ft underground if I get a chance.

I hit her on her head with a annoyed expression on my face "papaaa" shahneel shouted and that's it I ran into the kitchen asking my mother if she need anymore help while my sister burst into laughter.

(After dinner)

"Good night mom and dad " I said and went to my room while pinching my sister's shoulder secretly, I closed the door of my room and fall on the bed burying my face in the pillow with a sigh.

I closed my eyes only to open them again when someone's face appeared in my mind 'will he sleep by this time?' I thought as I took my phone to check the time only to see it's almost 9 pm and I decided to text him "sent" I whispered to myself with a smile on my face.

Ishan's POV (same day)

I snuggled closer to my elder brother while he is busy checking for a series to watch "how about Are you human?" my brother said adjusting the blanket around us.

"sure bhaiya" I said as I take a sip of my hot chocolate while my phone made a ping sound indicating a message but I just ignored thinking it's a normal one.

'what if it's shubman?' I thought and look at my brother who is watching the episode with curiousity I was about to speak when my brother's phone rang "Ishu I have to take this call beta I will be back in few minutes" he said and left the living room walking to his office room in our flat.

I paused the episode and take a look at my phone and took it into my hands and as I pressed the power button of my phone to turn it on , my lockscreen lit up with a message from an unknown number.

Unknown number:

Hello, it's shubman

Hi , shubman

After sending the message my phone started to ring with shubman's number showing on the screen, I immediately put my phone in silent mode and went to my room.

"Hello" I said as I closed the door of my room "hey , ishan" he said and God , he made my name sound so special as I felt the heat rushing to my face.

"Ishan, are you there?" he asked me "yeah" I answered him while sitting on the couch in my room " did I disturbed you?" he asked me " no , Just watching a series with my brother" I said.

"Oh you have a brother, elder or younger?" he asked me "elder brother" I answered him and like that we spent an hour talking to eachother knowing about each other.

"So , your parents are in Mumbai and by your words I can tell that you totally enjoyed your time with them" I said with a chuckle while he started laughing which made me smile widely.

"yeah , I totally enjoyed my time with them and you know what we did this evening..." like that our conversation continued for another few minutes.

I suddenly heard a knock on my door "ishu baccha, are you asleep?" I heard my brother's words and I went to open the door with my phone in my hand not near my ear "No, I am gonna sleep now bhaiya " I said.

"ok then I have some work so I am gonna sleep late, good night bachha" he said and kissed my forehead "good night bhaiya, love you" I said and hugged him "love you too baccha" he said and walked to his office room.

I closed my room door with a sigh and looked at my phone only to see that shubman still didn't cut the call "you are still in the call?" I asked him "looks like your brother loves you alot" he said with a chuckle.

"yeah , he loves me alot" I said to him and sat on the couch again "ok then Ishu we have to sleep it's already late hmm good night " he said "yeah good night and sweet dreams " I said with a chuckle "yeah , dream about me" he said while I laughed at his words and I cut the call after saying bye to him , I immediately saved his number as Shubman (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠).

"I love your voice and I love your smile and I am thinking about you so much....why shubman? why?" I asked to no one in particular as I layed on my bed and slowly I drifted into a deep slumber.
