Ishan groaned at the loud knocks on the door and sleepily rubbed his eyes as he sat up.

Seeing Shubman fast asleep beside him, he got up reluctantly and walked towards the door.

"Behre nahi hai hum, sunai deta hai humko," Ishan snapped in frustration as the knocks kept increasing and pulled the door open.

The person at the door pushed past him and strode to the bed, picking the jug filled with water and poured it over Shubman's head.

"Bhaiya bachao," Shubman screamed and scrambled out of bed, gasping and wiping at his face.

The tattoed man crossed his arms across his chest and glared at him, "It's almost twelve, Shubman. What are you doing here? Sleeping hereall hungover on a Monday morning?"

Ishan's mouth hung open as he watched them, but he quickly recovered and went towards the stranger.

"Woh jaha piye, jaise piye, jitna marji piye, jiske saath piye, jab tak sona chahe sota raheaapko kya?" He asked in a loud voice, standing between Shubman and the stranger.

Shubman tried to stop him, but Ishan shrugged his hand off and narrowed his eyes at the man. "Who the fuck do you think you are?"

"Abey, sun toh le meri baat," Shubman yanked his arm back and Ishan looked at him in annoyance.

"Kya hai?" He snapped at being interrupted while he was defending his dumbass best friend.

Shubman smiled sheepishly at the man before looking at Ishan with a pointed look and whispering, "Bhaiya hai woh mere. Daru ke paise inke hi hai, kuch bhi keh sakte hai."

Ishan's eyes widened and his eyes snapped to the man who was already raising an eyebrow at him.

"Sir," Ishan's face broke into a wide fake smile. "Good morning, sir. Chai piyoge aap? Nahi? Thik hai, sir. Next time, pakka. Abhi nahane jaate hai hum, haa, sab thik, bye sir."

Ishan ran into the washroom after that and Shubman shook his head at his antics.

"Kaise ajeeb dost hai tere," Virat shook his head in disappointment. "No wonder you're becoming so useless."

"-and then Tilak showed me his picture. That's how I found out that Saurav was double dating Mia."

Ishan and Shubman were having their weekly gossip session where they'd spill all the tea they'd gathered in the week.

"How did Tilak find the pictures though?" Shubman asked as he patted the serum on his face.

Ishan was arranging his socks in his cupboard as he repleid distractedly. "You remember Tilak's neighbor DB? The one with the rude dog? DB's cousin, Sara saw Saurav with that girl in a club and clicked the picture."

Shubman hummed sleepily and rested his head on the table as Ishan continued speaking.

"Waise tune bataya kyu nahi ki tera bhai Virat Kohli hai?" Ishan asked after a few seconds of silence.

"I would've recognized him that day only, but we hadn't opened the curtains that day. That's why I didn't see his face properly." Ishan shook his head as he recalled that day.
