Shubman's POV

"I regained consciousness after a few minutes",I muttered.

"4 minutes and 13 seconds",Shawn added,precise like always.

"Extreme stress caused a bodily reflex,which resulted in a sudden drop in the blood pressure,and as a result,he fainted", Dr. Alina Rydberg said while skimming through my vitals.

"Is he going to be alright?",my mom asked,on the verge of breaking down.

"He is alright,Mrs.Gill,there is nothing to worry about",Dr. Alina Rydberg added in her annoying calm voice.

Why is she so calm when my whole world is in turmoil? Why is mom crying so much,as if I am dead!Why am I in the damn hospital right now when I should be with Ishan?

"Thanks Doc,I'll take my leave now",I said,getting up from the hospital bed.

"Shub-"

I snatched the car keys from Shawn's pocket and muttered a "take mom home" and left without a single glance.I walked towards the exit and still no sign of dad.I internally scoffed at myself for even expecting so much.He hates me now.I'm nothing but a disappointment to him and his company.I'm such a loser that he decided to hand over his company to an outsider.

I don't even know how long it took me to reach home or how many traffic rules I broke. I don't care about anything right now.My mind is foggy and my hands are shaking.Only three words echoing in my mind. We are over.

Who the fuck gave him the right to decide that?

How the fuck he got the audacity to think that we're over?

We're not. We never fucking will be over.

As I was getting off my couch to take my car keys and drive to Ishan's house,I halted at the sound of the door bell. A delusional part of my brain got happy at the thought that it might be Ishan.It might all be misunderstanding and he is here now.

I practically ran towards the door to open it,only for my hope to be crushed.There stood Luke with all his teeth out,with Mcdonald's in his hands.Enzo,Danny and Sarah following behind him.

"A little birdie told me you fainted",Luke said in a sing song manner,while walking past me into the sitting area. "I don't think Shawn would appreciate being called a little birdie",Sarah muttered while Danny laughed a bit.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"To get the tea obviously",Luke said,diving into a box of French fries. "Shut up,be serious for once." Thank you,Sarah.

"What's wrong,Shub?",Sarah asked once I sat down on the couch.I told my friends everything,how Rishab,my CFO,whom I thought was my "friend" played me and all of us,and how I think he is behind the security breach.My chest tightened while telling them that nobody believed me,not even my dad.And how they appointed a temporary CEO because nobody believed in me.

"Shub...come here",Sarah pulled me in a tight embrace,and Luke joined in soon.As much as I appreciate my friends,right now their hugs felt suffocating,so I broke out of it.Nothing feels right without my Ishan.

"He broke up with me",I muttered.

"What?",Luke chimed.

I don't have any energy in me left to explain any further so I pulled out my phone and handed it over to Sarah.

"I told you all that I didn't trust that guy",for the first time since they came here,Enzo opened his mouth,only to splutter some bull shit.

"What do you mean?",I asked,not even sparing him a single glance. I can't deal with it right now.

"I knew sooner or later he was gonna break your heart,Shub"

"Enzo..", it's a request from Danny.

"This is why I told you to not trust someone so easily again."

"Enzo!",it's a warning from Sarah.

"You always trust the wrong ones,you never learn"

"Shut the fuck up,Enzo!", another warning from Luke this time.

But Enzo didn't stop.

"He wasn't good enough for you."

All hell broke lose.

"NOOO!!",Luke,Danny and Sarah,the three of them stood like a wall between us,preventing me from tearing Enzo into pieces.

HOW DARE HE SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

ISHAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH FOR ME. ALWAYS FUCKING WILL BE.

"Fucking sit down!",Luke pushed me back to the couch,while Enzo stayed in the same position,standing like a fucking wall.

"Get.Out.",I gritted through my teeth.

"Get.Out.Enzo.",I don't look at him. I bit my tongue to keep the venom inside. I don't want to say something now that I will regret later.

"I'm so sorry on behalf of him,Shubman",Danny apologised,while dragging Enzo's hand,but he didn't move.

"Shub-"

"Fucking go for now,man!",Luke cut off Enzo before he could open his mouth again and I am thankful to him for that.

"Let's just go...",Danny pleaded once again and this time by God's grace,he walked out of my house.

"What's his problem?",Sarah muttered while gulping down a glass of water.

"Don't fucking know,bro",Luke answered,while slumping down on the couch.

In just a day my perfect life got hit by a storm and I don't know how to survive this.
