I NEED YOU

chp - 18

Evening
Mayank
Ishu calm down alright.

Ishan
It's already 6:45 and he isn't here .

( Shubman entered from the hotel gate right then . Abhishek ran and gave him a hug. Everyone except Ishan & Mayank ran towards him and jumped on him hugging him not letting him breath .)

Abhishek
Why did you not tell me you were leaving?

Tilak
Why did you leave?

Virat
Why was your phone switched off?

Rohit
Why did you not contact us?

Siraj
Where were you staying?

Hardik
How did you get so thin ? Did you eat properly?

Rishab
You have dark circles. Did you not sleep properly.

Mayank
Stop bombarding with him questions. Let him rest now .

Virat
Chal bete abhi chod diya kapde badal ke aa khana khane fir batata hu .

( Ishan kept looking at Shubman but did not speak a word all of a sudden when Shubman looked at Ishan then Ishan looked away )

Ishan's thought - What should I say ? Should I start with a "hi Shubman how are you" or wait for him to speak first . I want to hug him right now but that just doesn't feel right . He won't like it cause last time I hugged him he pushed me . I should just wait for him to speak to me first .

Shubman's thoughts - He forgave me right? Everyone is coming to talk to me showering me with questions and hugs but he is not . On call he spoke to me said he missed me was it all just for me to comeback ? No no please Ishu I want everything to be normal again .

Virat
Meet us in 1 hour after getting freshened up .
Everyone should be there now go back to your rooms .
Shub don't be shocked after seeing your room. We just did what Ishan said so if you want to say anything after seeing go to Ishan .
( Ishan looked at Virat with wide eyes & Shubman just chuckles. )

Everyone went to their rooms only Ishan , Mayank , Abhishek & Shubman were left .

Mayank
Go talk to him . ( Mayank told Ishan while pushing him towards Shubman) Abhiiiii letsss gooo to my room

Abhishek
Huhhh why?

Mayank
Don't you want to stay with me for a bit? ( Mayank said in a low voice )

Abhishek
I did not mean that Mayank let's go
( Abhishek said in a soft voice and held Mayank's hand and took him )

Ishan
That was wierd

Shubman
Definitely. He doesn't even talk to me in that sweet tone .

Ishan
The way Abhi looked at him oh god and how Abhi held Mayank's hand.

Shubman
That's exactly the way I look at you............ I am sorry

Ishan
I am sorry

Shubman
No please you don't say sorry . I am sorry for everything

Ishan
No no I am sorry you don't say sorry

Shubman
No no you don't say sorry Ishu .......... I am sorry I called you Ishu

Ishan
This is my name it's alright..... Listen I am sorry I shouldn't have said those words they just slipped out of my mouth in anger . I did not mean them
