The morning sun began to paint the sky with hues of pink and orange as Shubman found himself awake before the world had fully stirred to life. He glanced at the peaceful figure beside him, Ishan lost in the realm of dreams. It was a sight that felt both familiar and new, evoking memories of a time when waking up with Ishan by his side was a routine.

In the quiet of the dawn, Shubman's thoughts drifted to the past, to a chapter that had unfolded and closed with a bitter taste. The echoes of their previous marriage lingered, a journey that had ended in divorce. Shubman couldn't deny the significance of this moment – waking up beside Ishan once again.

As he gazed at Ishan's sleeping form, a mixture of emotions played on Shubman's face. The dawn held a promise, a chance to rewrite their story. Yet, a shadow of doubt lingered, a fear that history might repeat itself. The scars of their past were not easily forgotten.

Shubman sighed, silently hoping that this time around, the mistakes of the past wouldn't resurface. He cherished the tranquility of the moment, the soft breaths of Ishan filling the room. But underneath it all, there was a cautious optimism, a desire for a future untainted by the complications that had marred their previous relationship.

As he continued to watch Ishan sleep, Shubman's mind drifted to the challenges they might face. The specter of Sara, a haunting reminder from their past, loomed in his thoughts. Shubman couldn't shake the worry that external forces might once again intrude on the delicate balance they were trying to establish.

With a deep breath, Shubman resolved to protect what they were building. He promised himself to be vigilant, to guard against any external threats that could jeopardize the newfound harmony between him and Ishan. The morning held both the warmth of hope and the chill of uncertainty.

Gently brushing a strand of hair f

rom Ishan's face, Shubman whispered to the sleeping figure, "This time, it'll be different. No one will come between us again."

With that, Shubman embraced the dawn of their shared future, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. The morning had begun, not with chaos, but with a quiet determination to rewrite their story, one sunrise at a time.

The tranquility of the morning was abruptly shattered as Ishan, in his haste, leaped out of bed with a start. His eyes darted to the clock, and panic flashed across his face. It was 7:30 am, and a surge of adrenaline shot through him. He was going to be late! In his half-asleep state, he momentarily forgot the recent change in his living situation.

Frantically grabbing his clothes, Ishan rushed toward the closet, only to find it unfamiliar. The realization hit him like a bolt – he was in Shubman's place. It took a moment for the fog of sleep to lift, and he remembered the decision to stay the night.

In his rush, Ishan practically flew out of the bedroom, colliding with Shubman in the process. The collision left them momentarily stunned, and as Ishan tried to regain his composure, he shot a bewildered look at Shubman.

"Shubman, what are you doing in my house?" Ishan questioned, his tone a mix of confusion and urgency.

Shubman couldn't help but chuckle at the morning chaos he unwittingly contributed to. "Your house? Ishan, my dear, you're the one who moved in with me, remember?"

Ishan's eyes widened as the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. He glanced around, taking in the surroundings as if seeing them for the first time. The realization brought a mix of embarrassment and amusement to his face.

"Oh, right. I moved in," Ishan mumbled, a faint blush coloring his cheeks. "Sorry, I forgot for a moment there. I thought I was late for work."

Shubman grinned, finding the entire situation amusing. "Well, you're not late, and you're definitely not in your old apartment. Welcome to the chaos of living with me."

Ishan, now fully awake and slightly flustered, couldn't help but laugh at the morning mix-up. "Living with you, huh? This is going to take some getting used to."

As they navigated the comical confusion of the morning, Shubman couldn't help but savor the ordinary yet extraordinary chaos that came with sharing a life. The chapter of their shared sunrise had begun with a dose of laughter, setting the tone for the unpredictable and beautiful journey that lay ahead.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The tranquility of the morning was abruptly shattered as Ishan, in his haste, leaped out of bed with a start.
