Rent Was A Lie

A Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan & Abhishek Sharma Fanfiction.

Six people, two friend groups, one luxury duplex in Mumbai, and a mistake that none of them can undo.

Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma move in expecting a quiet, structured space after a long season, only to find that the house has already been rented out to Tanishka Singh Chauhan, Advika Dutta, and Kashish Arora.

Two different brokers, two full payments, and one property that legally belongs to both parties leave them with no immediate solution and no choice but to coexist until things are sorted.

What begins as a forced compromise quickly turns into a test of space, patience, and boundaries.

Shubman, who thrives on order and control, finds himself constantly clashing with Tanishka, who is just as particular and unwilling to adjust.

Ishan's chaotic, easygoing nature collides effortlessly with Advika's bold and unpredictable personality, turning everyday moments into banter that neither of them takes seriously until it starts to mean something.

Meanwhile, Abhishek and Kashish settle into a quieter rhythm, building an understanding that doesn't rely on noise or confrontation but grows in the spaces in between.

Living together was never part of the plan, and yet routines begin to form despite their resistance. Shared spaces lead to shared conversations, small irritations turn into familiarity, and the line between obligation and comfort begins to blur.

What was meant to be temporary slowly becomes something harder to walk away from.

When a solution finally presents itself and the option to leave is back on the table, none of them are where they started.

Because somewhere along the way, the house stopped being just a mistake-and started feeling like something worth staying for.
