It's another day In ICT but not like it used to be. Before the atmosphere used to be all happy, funny with playful pranks. But now it's all about Cricket only cricket. It's not like before there wasn't any cricket talk, there used to be cricket talk with the mixture of funny and playful talk. The reason behind this drastic change was goofy ball, sunshine of the team, team ka jaan, our one and only Ishan kishan became all Silent, correct words to describe Ishan's situation Is he became Numb. The reason behind this was getting betrayal from the person whom he loves and trusts the most more than himself .
Everybody was having breakfast. The dining area was pindrop silent. No one was talking because they didn't know how to start the conversation. So Captain Ro decided to start the conversation
ROHIT: Guys as there is no practice today, how about we plan a day out. Just us enjoying our ass out. What you say about it boys.
VIRAT : I think that's a fantastic idea. Aise hi mahool bhi acha hoga.
SKY : Haa bhai, sahi kaha aapne, aree chote (looking towards Ishan) batta kaha jaane?? Tume kaha jaane ka Maan hai toh hum waha par jayenge.
HARDIK : Haa Ishu baby, bata kaha jaane ka Mann hai? Rohit bhaiya ka paisa hai, Bina soche kaho kaha jaana hai, hum waha jayenge.
ICT knew this contract cancellation and not including in the team even though he is capable and fit took a toll on him , but doesn't know the betrayal thing as Ishan doesn't confront everyone or share with someone. They just want to make Ishan feel easy and comfortable like before.
ROHIT : ohhh Bhaisab, Maine kab kaha ki mere akela ka paise hai??
HARDIK : Idea kiska hai bahar jaane ka?
ROHIT : Mera
HARDIK: Toh Paisa bhi aapka hi hai Bhai. Aur waise bhi aap apne chottu keliye itna bhi nahi karega?? Aap usse sirf naam keliye chotu bulate hai naa??
ROHIT : Yaah, aise kuch nahi Harry, Ishu mere bacha hai, uske liye main kuch bhi kar sakta. Ishu tum bolo kaha jaana hai hum wahi Jayenge.
ISHAN : Sorry bhaiya, aap log jaiye, mujhe Maan nahi hai.
BUMRAH : Arey Ishan, chalte naa, Maan apne aap aaja the hai.
ISHAN : Nahi bhaiya aap jaiye. Kabhi aur.
Ishan was about to leave, that's when Shubman said
SHUBMAN : What the hell is wrong with you Ishan?? Sab bahar jaane ka plan kiya toh tum usse Tod kyu rahe ho? Tume hoo kya Gaya?
Ishan stood quietly, he didn't want to make a scene, so he didn't answer. Shubman couldn't take the silence anymore and asked
SHUBMAN : Ishu answer me jaan, what happened? I will fix it baby
Ishan couldn't take it anymore, the audacity of Shubman to act as if he really cared. So he snapped
ISHAN : Shut up Shubman!! Stop acting as if you care. The audacity of you saying that you will fix everything where you are the reason why I am broken completely. How can you be so selfish Shubman. To protect your so-called career, you decided to destroy my career by joining your hands with those so-called board members. After all this mess, you want me to be all goofy and be the joker of the team. Huh tell me Shubman gill
SHUBMAN : Jaan listen-
ISHAN : Don't you dare to call me that Shubman. What did you achieve by destroying my career? Have you scored 100 tons like the great Sachin Tendulkar or became King of the Cricket or became a legend like Rohit bhaiya?? And Why are you acting as if you care and asked me what happened to me, when you know very well what happened to me. You think the betrayal you did with me will always remain under covers and you will behave like nothing happened? Listen Shubman, truth can never be under cover for a longer period.
SHUBMAN : Ishan I know I have made a grave mistake, but jaan please forgive me. I am regretting the moment i realised I made a grave mistake. I was insecure about my career. They gave this offer in front of me and without thinking twice I accepted this. Iam sorry Ishan, I regret it. Please forgive me jaan.
ISHAN : You are insecure because of me Shubman?? Are you not confident with your skills and talent?? Shame on you Shubman. I regret falling in love with such a cowardly person. I deserve someone who supports me and is proud of me and not someone like you. I thank myself that I never confessed my feelings to you, I saved myself from being in a relationship with a coward like you. I can never hate you because that's how deeply I had fallen in love with you, but I will learn to fucking hate you Shubman. I will never forgive you, and don't you dare to show me your face ever again you coward.
Listening to this, Shubman dropped on his knees hugging Ishan by his waist bawling his eyes out.
SHUBMAN: Ishan, I am sorry, don't do this to me. I will die without you. I will never do this to you. Please don't kick me out of your life. I want you as oxygen, please Ishan I will change, I will support you and be the one you ever wanted. Please give me one chance. Please I will do anything to get your trust back. Please Ishu just one chance.
ISHAN : I can't Shubman. Iam tired of you. You should have thought before you joined them. Now it's all over. We are done. Leave me Shubman. I SAID FUCKING LEAVE ME!!!
Forcefully Ishan took Shubman's hand away from him and went from there .
SHUBMAN : Ishan please don't leave me
Ishan, Ishan, ISHANNNN
Shubman woke up from his sleep, all sweaty. For a few seconds he couldn't recognise the surroundings, after sometime he calmed himself, rubbed his palm on his face only to realise he was crying, a sob left his mouth and he cried very badly. After some time he calmed himself and looked beside his bed only to see it was empty. Then he remembered that he went to the Mayank room as a sleepover. Without thinking twice he got up from bed, took his phone and room card and went to the mayank room and knocked on the door.
Mayank is the one who woke up due to the noise and went to open the door cursing
MAYANK : What the hell are you doing here Shubman?? It's past 2 man what do you want?
SHUBMAN : I want to see Ishan that's it Mayank please, I won't disturb you please.
Looking at Shubman's situation, Mayank understood something had happened,
MAYANK: Shubman, what happened?? Are you okay? Andhar aajo
They came inside and mayank gave him water.
MAYANK : What happened to you Shubman?? Kuch hua? Tum mujhe baata sakte ho
SHUBMAN: Bahut bura sapna tha Mayank. (Told everything about dream) Mein aisa kabhi nahi kar sakta yaar Aisa. Jaan hai mera Ishu. Yeh kaisa sapna dekha yaar Maine.
MAYANK : Shub, it's just a dream. Asal mein aise kabhi nahi ho sakta. Hum sabko pata hai tum kitna pagal ho Ishu keliye and woh kitna pagal hai tumhare liye. So relax shub. Tum na aaj yeah sojao. Mein tumhare room mein sojaonga. Take care shubh.
SHUBMAN : Thank you Mayank.
MAYANK : Abhe daat. Bahut hogaya tumhara yeh thank you. Bye good night oops good morning
SHUBMAN : Good morning
Mayank left the room. Shubman sat beside Ishan, kissed his forehead lovingly and said
SHUBMAN : Baby, jaan , kishmish, you are my everything. I can't even imagine my life without you. I WILL DIE WITHOUT YOU JAAN. My wish start from you and end with you. I can't even be imagine myself without you even for a second. You became my oxygen, my sole purpose to live. When you said we are done in my dreams, it felt so real jaan. Jaan promise me you will never say that. We can never be done. You, me and our mini versions roaming around our house, you scolding me for my silliness and me making love to you to make it up to you and make our own cricket team. Right naa jaan, so let's promise to each other
Taking Ishan's pinky finger joining to his pinky finger
WE SHUBMAN GILL AND ISHAN KISHAN WILL ALWAYS BE WITH EACH OTHER , BE EACH OTHER BACK BONE, SUPPORT SYSTEM, ALWAYS CHOOSE OUR LOVE OVER MERE ARGUMENT. ALWAYS MAKE LOVE AND CREATE OUR OWN CRICKET TEAM. ALWAYS LOVE, AND RESPECT EACH OTHER AND UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
After completing the promise Shubman kissed Ishan's forehead and lips tenderly.
In between all this chaos, our sleeping beauty is sleeping without any disturbance.
That's how they drifted to sleep cuddling
