The next morning when Ishan woke up , he found himself surrounded by all his teammates.
"Ishan you okay ?" . Kl Rahul asked with a look of concern.
"We got so worried when we heard you were running a fever ."
Ishan was confused . "I was running a fever ?"
"When you fell asleep I checked your temperature. You were running a high fever." Shubman replied.
"Oh"
"You went to meet Aditi last night right ? What happened?" Virat asked Ishan .
"Virat Bhai , Ask him that later . He is not feeling so well ." Shubman said to Virat in a serious tone.
"It's okay Shubh ." Said Ishan . "I'll tell them ."
Ishan had to tell his teammates at one point or the other . Besides , they were always there for him . They were like family.
"We broke up ."
"What?" Surya was surprised.
"She broke up with you ? How dare she? How dare she hurt my bro- " Jadeja was cutted of by Ishan .
"I broke up with her ."
Ishan explained the incident which took place last night
It took some time for everyone to process what was happening.
Everyone looked at Ishan . They were all worried about him .Shreyas embraced Ishan in a hug . "It's okay .. We're here"
Hardik , always the one to raise the mood said "Koi baat nahi tere liye koi aur ladki khoj lenge."
"Agar ladki nahi chahiye ladka bhi la denge tere liye " Virat announced .
"Arey ladka laane ki kya zarurat? Shubman hai na ." Rohit also joined in .
The whole team bursted into laughter.
Ishan smiled and looked at Shubman who was standing right beside him .
Shubman finally said "Agar tujhe koi ladki nahi milti shadi ke liye fir mujhse shaadi kar le na."
I wish.
Ishan thought.
"Don't we have practice today ?" Rahul asked , getting back to his senses .
"Oh fuck-" Surya remembered .
"Abbey tum logo ki wajah se ye practice bhi nahi hoga ab to . Chalo niklo saare . Practice me Jana hai . Ishan tu rest le . " Rohit said .
"No , I'll come " Ishan insisted.
Shubman leaned in to whisper in Ishan's ear "Take some rest , please . You'll feel better ."
"Shubman, stay with Ishan and take care of him ." Virat said before leaving the room along with the rest of the team .
Shubman sat on the bed .
"Ishu , are you okay now ?"
"Yes , thank you for yesterday." Ishan replied.
Shubman pulled Ishan into a hug .
As Ishan's arms wrapped around Shubman, a complex array of emotions surged within him. The scent of Shubman's cologne, the warmth of his embrace, stirred a mixture of comfort, safety, and an undeniable longing that Ishan had been grappling with.
Shubman on the other hand was facing the same thing . Shubman burried his face in the crook of Ishan's neck , inhaling his scent.
"You smell so good ." Whispered Shubman.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ishan said trying not to be flustered.
"What ? I was just-"
Their playful banter was interrupted by the sound of Shubman's phone ringing.
"Who the fuck -- Oh Sara." Shubman excused himself and went to the balcony to receive the call .
Ishan felt disappointed.
I wish it were me instead.
