Flashback~

"Arey Ishu ye dekh toh idher! Look how people are praising you for your innings against South Africa."

Ishan smiled at the younger lad, as he walked towards a Shubman who sitting in their room with legs crossed, holding his phone and a wide smile on his face.

Ishan ruffled his hair as he sat beside him on their bed. Shubman lend his phone to Ishan and showed him the comments.

'A well deserved century missed but hearts won ♥️'

'That 93 over any centuries!'

'Ek Bihari sab pe Bhari!'

'Pocket dynamite' for a reason!🙌🏻🥰

All the while Ishan was smiling widely.

Soon he checked the video under which there were these comment

Ishan smiled looked towards Shubman who was smiling more brightly, his to-die for dimples on display

Ishan smiled looked towards Shubman who was smiling more brightly, his to-die for dimples on display.

"Itni batissi kahe dikha rahe ho?" Ishan asked and scoffed but with amusement.

Shubman giggled and said "This video is very close to my heart! Dekh na kitna cute lag raha hai tu!!" Shubman said and pulled Ishan's cheek.

Ishan blushed furiously but swatted his hand "Bhosdike, I thought you were not going to post the video. Itna cute dikhonga toh Aditi kisi handsome ladke ke saath bhag jayegi. Phir mujhe kon milega?" Ishan chuckled lightly and ruffled his own hair, tried settling it.

When he didn't receive any response he looked at a frowning Shubman. His heart clenched looking at his sad bestfriend.

"Abhi toh khush tha.. Abhi kya hua?" Ishan asked confusedly.

Shubman pouted and said "Abhi toh tujhe Aditi mil gayi.. abb toh tu mujhe bhul jayega."

Ishan's eyes widened. How could he think that Ishan will forget him ever?

Clasping Shubman's right hand in his both hand, Ishan held it softly.

"Shubi.. tu jaanta nahi hai kya tu kitna important hai mere liye? In a crowd full of people, my eyes searches for you. You ARE my top priority. Hum unko bhul jaate hai jinko hum ek wakt par khote hain. Agar tum mujhse kho jaoge Shubi, then I won't ever remain the same." Ishan told him in a small voice.

Shubman's eyes welled up. He was just kidding when he joked about Aditi, but somewhere with Ishan's confession, Shubman was sure that Ishan would never break their friendship.

There were times when Ishan took blames for Shubman's nuisance or when their pranks backfired, but Ishan's smile was enough to melt anyone's anger, so it was a win-win situation.
