Hashtag ishdik is real

ch:15

The envelope lay flat on the table beside the coffee hardik had ordered half an hour ago. it's cold now, not even a sip taken. Hardik was lost in thoughts.

Hardik's pov:
I can't get over the fact that I had a date with ishan and that ishan doesn't even remember anything.

I opened the envelope and was stunned at the words written on the ivory paper.
It was the good quality paper and And the ink looks so good .

But the world didn't settle in.

My fingers couldn't take the weight of the paper as I read further. My eyes stuck on the name.

The paper fell Outta my hand into the ground. I quickly snatched it up and stuffed it into the envelope, no one can know about this. How did this happen, and when did this happen. I questioned myself.

I ignored the coffee, and got up quickly, I needa talk it out with ishan. Maybe he knows something about this.

But when I enter the room, ishan is no where. So I figured he's probably with shubman. Past few days I can't find Ishan no matter how hard I try, I was in luck last night to have found him for myself.

So I checked shubman's room and everybody else's, finally i found him at the pool , with shubman.

They look happy together, and the fact that everyone person in the ICT thinks they're together. May be it was better if i don't discuss it with him. It's better of only with myself.

"Bhaiya, come on join us, it's so much fun" shubham called for me.

"Nah, it's alright you guys have fun" I shout at them. As the boys are playing water volly .

I was suddenly pushed into the water and as I make my way towards the surface, I see everyone laughing, it was kl who pushed me.

I laughed too. And then I extended my hand so kl can pull me out. As he took my hand to help me out , I pull him into the pool instead, and he splashed into the water on me.

This time I laughed more, and the boys had their fair share of fun too.

As kl resurfaced, he launched behind me , chasing me but I was far away as I swam towards the game .

I took my wet shirt off coz it was too heavy all wet. And everyone wowed.

"Show off" I heard ishan mutter.

Then it was shreyash who said it out loud

"We know you've got a toned body no need to show off like that" he said

"Not showing off you stupid, the shirt was making it Heard for me to swim " I say smacking his back.

"What ever" he said

Ishan didn't look at me though out the game although we were in the same team.
There was a moment when he fell on me while passing the ball. I caught him for balance.

"That's sweeeeettttt....." Some people screamed.

So I let go of him. Then he looked at me for a split second, there was sadness in his eyes, i wanted to know what is it that made him so sad.

But no one else noticed it, maybe it was just for me to see.

We played all afternoon, and yes it was fun.

When we were all out of the pool, and all dried up, someone suggested that we should party tonight as well. As long as we're here we should get drunk every night.

I was too scared to get drunk again.

So all of us decide to meet at the exit at 9pm sharp.

So I made my way to the room, ishan joined later. And he was on a call, his expression was horrified. I wonder what must be the call about, who is he talking to, but he gave away nothing.

We just stayed in the room silently.

I was keen to text the ishdik person, to at least have a conversation with someone.
But when I texted them , i didn't get any reply.

Instead i checked the story I was following on Wattpad, it was already finished. And ishan and hardik were together.

I was re reading one of the chapter, that I couldn't help but keep imagining the events of Ishan's bday night. What I did was on purpose, i wasn't drunk much. And the thought of him under me on the bed was doing things to me. So I quickly cover my boner with the blanket.

Ishan then looks at me , putting his own phone down.
"Are you ignoring me?" He asked

Oh alright now I am the one ignoring him.

Well maybe for a lil while after the pool game. But that doesn't count, he've Been ignoring me for 2 days straight.

"Now I am the one ignoring you, is it?" I say putting down my phone

"I am asking you" he said.
"No " I said , it came out a lil harsh than i intended it to be.

Again that hurt flashed in his eyes.
Why , why only Me?.

"Then why didn't you talk to me about it?" He asked

"About what?" I asked.
Does he know?

"About me sleeping in your arms last night, and everyone saw us and that we have something going on" he said

"Saw us? How? when?" I was shocked

"You don't know?" He said sarcasticly

I don't know what the hell he's talking about.

"No" I say

"Oh please, this morning all the boys made a big fuss about how we were sleeping naked together" he said as fact

I have no idea when that happened.
No that I hear this, i understood why they were Saying, me and ishan are sweet when I held him in the pool

"But we didn't sleep naked" I said, his bare back flashed in my mind and his sweet moan was playing in my brain, i don't think it's a good time to remember that.

"Yeah right, we didn't buy they think we did" he said

"So let them, why do you even care what they think" I say.

He didn't say anything meaning he really cared what others think, or was it 'what shubman thinks?'.

"Don't you want then to know if you ever get a gf or bf?" I ask

He thought for a while
"Of course i would tell them, but this..." He pointed at me and him
"Isn't anything like that na" he said.

And that was hurtful. I was trying very hard not to tell him about the envelope. But it won't be any good it I tell him.

Instead i just got up.

"Sure sure, we're nothing like that" I say in a voice to lighten the mood.
"I'll tell them we didn't sleep naked" I say

"No need, they found it out eventually" he said.

If the boys already knew, why make a fuss about it?.
Or is there something else that he wants to talk about and isn't tell me directly?.

I was about to ask him. When he got another call.

"Hello, yes shub what is it?" He picked up the call.

"Don't bother me for such lil things" he said on the phone.

Then he was bickering with shubman on the phone, i checked the time it was already 8 so i thought it would be better to get ready for tonight, i don't like to be late.
