Love Beyond Age.. (ishman).. 🔞

Chapter 24

"Your apartment is cozy Ishu. I like it here." Shubman sighed while resting his body on the soft bed. He didn't get any reply from Ishan so he turn towards him. Ishan was busy thinking about something. He was sitting near the window, totally absorb in a sea view in front of him. 

"Ishu? are you ok?" Shubman worriedly ask him. Ishan turn his face towards him, there were tears in his eyes. 

"How can you even ask me that question Shubi? How am I suppose to be fine when I almost lost contact with all my family members." A single tear left his eyes. Shubman immediately stormed towards him and sat down infront of him. 

"Ishu, it's not your fault that our family is against homosexuality. Their mentality is not that wide to understand our love." Shubman was trying to explain him. But something clicked in Ishan. 

"Shubi, tell me one thing, how the hell Rohit bhaiya knows about your sexuality?" Shubman was taken aback by this question. He didn't expect Ishan to remember this little detail about their argument with his father. 

"umm... that's... nothing serious," Shubman waved it off and walk towards kitchen but Ishan followed him and grab his hand. "This is serious and I need to know." Ishan declared. 

Shubman sighed and hold Ishan's both hands, "He read my personal diary." Shubman simply answered. "And please don't ask me about what was written in that. It's just too much embarrassing." Shubman said and turned around to grab a bottle of water. 

Ishan was too stunned to speak anything, he was caught off guard. "What the actual hell? And when did this happen?" Ishan asked. Shubman sat on the kitchen counter while drinking the water. Ishan was standing in front of him while crossing his arms. 

"When you left for Delhi." He simply said, "And that was the reason they sent me to the hostel." Ishan's eyes widen in shock, this was unbelievable for him. 

"Why didn't you tell me this before?? You don't trust me enough? Tell me am I just no one to you?" Ishan's eyes filled with tears. There was betrayal clearly looking in his eyes. 

"Listen Ishu, I'm sorry," Shubman tried to hold Ishan's hand but he just snatched his hand away from Shubman's grip. "I don't wanna listen anything." Ishan walk towards the bedroom and laid down. 

"Ishu, Ishu please yarr, listen to me." Shubman chased after him. He saw Ishan all covered up in blanket. So, he gently laid down beside Ishan and slowly removed the blanket. Ishan didn't resisted this time though. 

Shubman embraced Ishan in his arms, 'So warm...' Ishan thought for a moment. But he was not in a mood to give back the same warmth to latter. Shubman pulled Ishan even more closer to himself. 

"Ishu, I'm really sorry, I should've told you this earlier, but I didn't had courage to tell you this. I still feel embarrassed about that day." Ishan just hummed, but Shubman felt little better that the latter is listening to him. 

"I promise I won't hide anything from you afterwards. This was the last time." Shubman promised, Ishan nodded and wrapped his arm around Shubman. 

"You dare do that again." Ishan threaten his nephew. Shubman kissed Ishan on cheek and tightly hold onto his waist. Ishan was blushing mess. He himself was confused about why he's blushing. 

"I won't, trust me." Shubman said and the couple drifted in their dreamland in each others embrace.

Next morning, Shubman woke up to notice no one beside him. He needed the last night's warmth again beside him. He kept twisting and turning on the bed. Just then the bathroom's door opened revealing his half naked uncle in front of him.
