chapter 26

Wedding day

Fuck fuck fuck.

Shubman is gonna die, he's gonna die, die, die, die.

He's biting his nails, his leg has not stopped bouncing for even a second, his heart feels like it would bounce out of his chest, something akin to the movie final destination.

Shit, not on his wedding day.

Nothing, he means it, nothing is going according to the plan.

His sherwani was bitten by the rats just a night ago.

His shoes are nowhere to be found.

His stylist is late.

He is literally standing in front of the mirror in a tank top and some gym shorts.

Sharam aani chahiye mujhe.

And the worst was that he has not seen Ishan for full three days and he's going to rip his hair out in frustration.

Abhi is also somewhere doing god knows what.

Saale dost bhi kameene mile hai!!

He had told Shaneel about his problem and he just got an hour of lecture from her.

Atleast his mum wasn't there, otherwise the well was just behind the house, he would have thrown himself in it.

Oh yeah the house, it had a month since Ishan and Virat collectively designed the whole house together, with some snippet of advices from Shubman and Rohit.

Rohit, his father-in-law, had told him to just nod to everything they say, and leave the rest to them.

Well, he was right, the house came out spectacular, and nothing Shubman could have done to make it better than perfect.

But right now he would just prefer to die, but that would be a real disappointment wouldn't it?

Ishan would be so sad to see his would be husband showing up on his own wedding without a sherwani, but a pair of gym shorts.

Ugh, why did Shubman had to have such great bad luck?

Just when he was drowning out in his misery, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in"

And there he was, his father-in-law-to-be, in all his perfect edges defined by the black sequence kurta.

Damn, Rohit looked good.

"Tu abhi tk taiyar nhi hua? Ek ghnte me muhurt hai!"

Rohit asked, confusion evident on his face.

After that whole house buying ordeal, Rohit has been somewhat nicer to him, it was as if a burden was lifted off his chest.

Shubman let out a sigh, there's no way out of this,

"Meri sherwani chuho ne kutar li hai, aur mere paas koi extra sherwani ya suit ya kuch bhi pehen ne laayak nhi hai, mujhe kuch samjh nhi aarha mai kya kru"

He slid down on his knees his head in his hands, as he tried not to cry in front of Rohit, it was a lost cause, as his tears were already flowing out of his eyes, without him even knowing.

Rohit said nothing just went out of the room, leaving Shubman alone in his misery, as Shubman continued to sob,

Rohit and Virat then together came in the room a while later, seeing Shubman in the same position as before,

"Shubman!"

Virat called softly, he was wearing a light blue kurta with sea green sadri. Damn, he looked good too.
