"Shubi, you are burning up, let me call the doctor", Ishan said, after touching his friend's forehead. "Nahi tu ja. Rohit bhaiyya will get angry if he knows that you spent the night here. I will call the doc myself once you leave", Shubman replied.
It was a flurry of activities after that. After around half an hour he called Ishan,"He has put me on bed rest for the whole day tomorrow. Main bore ho jaunga yaar. Till they know I am not infectious I am not allowed to see anyone ", Shubman complained to his bestie. "Anyway it has been raining all day, I will stay on the phone with you, meri jaan. We will get through", Ishan consoled his drama queen.
The fever refused to reduce and Shubman had to undergo blood tests now."Ishu, idhar aa jao na. I don't feel comfortable with needles", Shubman requested. But the doctor strictly instructed everyone to stay away from his room. They came to know that it was dengue."Dengue doesn't spread, right? So, Ishan can stay with me?", Shubman asked the doctor and his captain with puppy eyes. "Haan haan bula le apne boyfriend ko", Rohit said.
Ishan had stayed to nurse him and keep him entertained for the next two days."Ishi, the team will leave for Chennai tomorrow. How am I going to survive without seeing you? We just got together", Shubman exclaimed dramatically. "Ek hafta hi hai Shubi. Your sister is here now, to take care of you. Healthy hoke aa jaana next week", said Ishan.
"I can't ask my sister for a kiss na, baby. What do I do about that?", Shubman. "Shubiii, it's difficult for me to go, leaving you in this state. Don't make it tougher", Ishan begged. Shubman let him go with a kiss on his forehead,"Make me proud, boyfriend".
