ISHMAN ONESHOTS

Girlfriend?

Ishan's POV

I stirred around under the covers just having woken up from sleep. I couldn't open my eyes properly yet, I just felt around the bed trying to find Shubman. I quickly opened my eyes and only found the bed empty next to me. I looked around the room trying to locate him, but he's nowhere to be found.

I got up and checked my phone for any texts saying where he was, but I found none. ' He might have gone for breakfast,' I thought to myself.

After getting ready for the day, I went down looking for him, but he's not even there. I asked around my teammates, but no one knows where he is.

Just as I was about to call him, Virat bhai came from his morning workout. I greeted him and was about to go on my way. But with a faint hope, I asked him if he knew where Shubman was.

" Yeah, he went out this morning saying that he has to meet a friend." Virat replied.

" Okay, thank you, bhaiyya."

With that, I was walking back to my room (Shubman's room) .

We had plans for the day because of not having any matches for the week. We had a day off. So we wanted to go shopping and explore the place together. But he left me without any notice for some friend.

I walked all the way, thinking about who that friend might be. But even if he wanted to cancel the plans, the least he could do was inform me. He could've left a note or a text.

With the passing time, I got more restless. I want to call him but I don't want to interrupt him. I just spent my time scrolling through my phone and watching some random movie.

I got bored soon and wanted to do something else. I got out of the room and started walking aimlessly. But then I remembered that Hardik bhai's room is on the same floor. I went to his room and knocked twice before he opened up. Just like that, I got engaged in discussion with him.

Hardik bhai is fun to have around. He's one of the closest people to me in the team. I'd go to him whenever I need any advice. He also takes care of me like his own brother.

Time passed by quickly with him. He got a call, so he got up to take the call. I unlocked my phone to check if Shubman has left any message. To my disappointment, there are none. No call or a message. I opened the news app on my phone, not knowing what to do.

As I was scrolling, I found an article that made me freeze.

SHUBMAN GILL SPOTTED AT [ PLACE ] WITH A GIRL WHO SEEMED TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND.

THEY WERE WEARING MATCHING OUTFITS AND WERE HOLDING HANDS WHILE COMING OUT OF THE RESTAURANT. HE ALSO HUGGED HIS GIRLFRIEND BEFORE SENDING HER OFF IN A TAXI

I stopped reading after that. There are many similar articles with their photos all around. Suddenly, the same thing showed up in whatever app that I opened.

I felt a rush of anger and also a feeling of betrayal. Because the girl in the picture, I knew her. I knew her very well, actually. She was his ex. His first love, sweetheart, and all that.

All the articles painted them as a couple. I know that it's not true, but I can't help but think about the possibility of it being real. Otherwise, why would he cancel our plans all of a sudden. He also left without a notice and didn't even bother to check up on me once.

As I was lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock at the door. I went and opened the door to see Shubman standing on the other side of it. He gave a smile, but I just walked into the room and got on the bed.

"Hey," he said, coming inside after me. I didn't respond but just kept looking at my phone. Before he could say anything, Hardik bhai came and sat next to me. He greeted Shubman, who also sat on a chair nearby.
