What after That?

Ch 40.

"Kon hai yahan?"

Ishan even the panicked one panic more. He tighten his grip on Shubman's shirt boxes still sandwiching between them.

Shubman's trance finally broke when he heard the voice of the stupid intruder. Why was he stupid tho? Of course for intruding between them.

Just then he turn his face carefully not wanting his intrusive thoughts win at the moment, and he held Ishan tighter. Closer.

" meow... "

The person thought for a moment looking here and there " was that a cat? " he thought out loud. " must be a cat.. " he murmured while walking out.

Shubman exhaled a breath of relief, yet again caught off guard by Ishan's face, which was nestled between his neck and jaw, lips almost brushing there and he was clinging to Shubman like an actual scared kitty.

At least it was not a lie entirety

He didn't want to let go, but eventually, he released Ishan's comparatively small frame. Ishan looked up instantly, as if asking, Is that person gone?

" Haan Chala gaya.. "

Ishan nodded and slowly get up then lift the boxes one by one off Shubman.

"Sorry..." Ishan murmured, almost too softly to be heard. Honestly, he didn't want to address whatever had just happened. Shubman felt the same way, so he acted as if he hadn't heard Ishan's apology.

Then what?

Awkward....

Shubman took the lead, saying, "Uh... let's go?" His tone resembled more of a question directed at the very red Ishan. Shubman received a tentative "Hmm..." in response.

That was it. Ishan hurriedly rushed out, and Shubman followed suit, but not before checking the room for any evidence of their earlier predicament.

There was none.

The boxes were snatched away by their beggar friends. Shubman can't help but murmured " aur saale mujhe bol rahe the.. pehli baar ball ke liye paise diye.. "

" free ka khana aur hum log saath mein.. bhaii yahi zindagi hai.. " Rahul said with his mouth stuffed with samosa. Rahul was almost standing on top of Abhi.

Some crumbs were dusted on Abhi's precious pretty hairs ( according to him )

" begenchod mere upar mat Gira, thoos le pehle.. "  Abhi Said ruffling his hairs " mere sundar baal Kharab kar daale saare.. "

" abee oo lodushen.. Kab Nahaya tha last time? " Shubman asked smirking. Mayank scrunched his nose in disgust " chhi.. Abhi tere se ye umeed nahi thi.. "

Abhi was quick to save himself " tujhe bahut pata hai..

saale to wo tu hi hai jo mujhe bathroom mein chhup chhup ke dekhta hai.. "

Shubman choked on his juice, he wiped his mouth from back of his hand then he glared Abhi. " Haan tu hi hai ek hoor ki Pari... tujhe hi dekhna reh gaya hai.. "

" abee ye tujhe kyun dekhega.. dekhna hoga to Ishan jaise ko dekhege na.. " Dhruv said Licking off the sauce from his fingers.

But he said something extremely wrong he got that the very next moment.

There was a silence and Ishan of well he was clearly uncomfortable.

" pagal hai kya Maine kisi ne nahi dekhna..

Tu dekh liyo Abhi ko.. "  Shubman finally said.

Dhruv kya Matlab ye fir mixed feeling de raha hai.. sirf Abhi?  Ishan kyun nahi.? Mujhe pehle doubt tha abhi yakeen hai ye bakchod kuchh to galat karna chahta hai bechare Ishan ke saath.. Bechara Ishan.. Kitna innocent hai..
