Seven years was a long time for Ishan to not miss Shubman every second but in these years Shubman never forget about Ishan , he wrote him letters on his birthdays , he calls regularly to check on him , he updated Ishan about everything and Ishan updated those things to Lakhwinder who used to proudly smile whenever he receives the congratulatory letters from Hampton University whenever Shubman wins in a polo club and topped the class
" Asha please get the parathas placed at the table, Shubman is on his way hurry" Ishan was on ninth cloud today he has the whole mansion running on his pinky because Shubman was finally coming back from Virginia
" Ishan, Ishan calm down baby everything is perfectly fine don't panic okay" Shahneel said with a smile but Ishan was still very excited to welcome Shubman
" Di will he recognise me " Shahneel rolls her eyes at Ishan's question, as if Shubman didn't video call him at night when he was at the airport , as if he wasn't crying looking at Shubman's graduation pictures
" Ishan I think you should quit watching Karan Johar's movies it's too much drama for your poor heart baby " Ishan pouts in disappointment and Shahneel laughs looking at the cute face , the voices of cars and bodyguards grabbed Ishan's attention
" Bambi I missed you so much.." Shubman's degree was in one hand and the other was around Ishan's waist his long coat swings with him when he swung Ishan in his arms , Shahneel pity Abhishek who looked like a beggar who survived tsunami
" Abhi are you okay " Shahneel said to Abhishek who started bowling his eyes out looking at Shahneel
" Di I hate you for sending me with this monster my life is ruined " Abhishek said and Shubman looked at him after breaking his hug with Ishan who was looking at the Degree certificate of Shubman
" Be grateful to me you brat , you've graduated because of me " Shubman said wrapping his one arm around Ishan's waist pulling him closer, Abhishek dramatically rolls his eyes
" Ishan please give me food this fucking monster took me here without having dinner or breakfast I'm hungry man " Ishan smiles and was about to walk towards Abhishek but Shubman pulls him by his waist
" Kesha , are you here , take Abhishek to the dining room and serve him food , Ishan is not your servant to serve you food " Shubman said sarcastically as if he wasn't the one who only ate the food when Ishan brought it to him , Abhishek rolls his eyes and Shahneel chuckled at childish possession of Shubman over Ishan
" Come Abhi I'll join you at the dining hall come" Shahneel said taking Abhishek who gladly follows Shahneel while Shubman puts his forehead on Ishan's shoulders inhaling his fresh sweet scent that he missed so much
" You should get fresh up ..." Ishan didn't know what to say, his heart was pounding in his chest his cheeks were burning with a flushing pink hue , Shubman's hands snakes around his waist and he pulled Ishan into a warm hug without any gap between them
Ishan's hands wrapped around Shubman's broad shoulders and his feet slightly up in air when Shubman straight ups himself engulfing in Ishan's embrace, the silence between them was having it's own conversation because this peace of mind was so perfect to Shubman who has done everything just to be in this tiny man's arms
" I missed you soo much.." It was second time Shubman mentioned it and Ishan smiles closing his eyes because the sync of their heartbeat was so nice that Ishan wanted to stay like this forever
The scene was supposed to be a delightful scene for anyone but Lakhwinder wasn't a slight happy, he was looking down from the stairs to the two men lost in each other touch which was so disgusting to him , even if Ishan comes out a genes man who could give birth, in high society these types of men hold no dignity they are just toys
" If Mr Singh got to know about them it's going to be a disaster sir " Lakhwinder's secretary said to Lakhwinder who turns away from the scene going to the elevator to reach his office followed by his secretary
Ishan was the puppet that made his son do everything Lakhwinder wanted but now his son wasn't a child anymore and the obsession he has for Ishan is going to be very dangerous for their legacy and respect they have in high society
" Call Ishan in my office.." The secretary walks away as Lakhwinder sat on his chair looking at a portfolio in his desk , after few minutes Ishan come into his office with flushed face because he must came up with staircase, he smiles looking at Lakhwinder in respect
" You called me uncle.." Ishan was silently praying that Lakhwinder didn't want to give him another order for Shubman as he has just returned from being graduate
" I am arranging a graduation party for Shubman , you have to assist Mr Gupta for the preparations and make sure Shubman stays in the Party because we will have some important guest who wants meet him " Ishan smiles listening to Lakhwinder's order because for the first time he wanted to celebrate Shubman's achievements instead of giving him another task
" Yes uncle I'll make sure everything will be perfect and Uncle I have to show you something " Ishan's excitement was clear in his voice , Ishan opens his phone and shows a mail to Lakhwinder
It was the offer letter of his name he has applied into the Mumbai AIMS , it was Ishan's dream to work there for better practice , Lakhwinder becomes tense because accepting this letter means moving out from Punjab and leaving everything behind because a Doctors life demands sacrifices of lots of time and patience and If Ishan moved out just when Shubman has came then he'll definitely follow Ishan instead of his business
" Ishan you should think before reacting , these letters are not solid proves that you are needed at the Mumbai AIMS , but I'll check this and tell you soon " Ishan's smile drops but he stays hopeful that this opportunity will change his life , it was his dream the biggest achievement of his life
When Ishan was gone Lakhwinder called on a number that rings two times and was answered , Lakhwinder told the other line that he wants to donate some money in their Hospital and then he made a simple sharp request to not accept the offer letter from Ishan Kishan , the other line didn't questioned him instead they happily agreed to take down the letter
" I bought you here to serve my son Ishan , not your meaningless dreams "
" Oh my god this is a great news baby congratulations " Shahneel hugged Ishan who showed them his mail at the dinning hall , Shubman stopped eating and looked at Ishan with a shocked face
" You'll move to Mumbai .." It was the first thing Shubman asked after knowing Ishan's acceptance letter , Shahneel and Abhishek rolls their eyes while Ishan's smile vanishes from his face because Shubman's words affects him much more than anything
" Shubman don't be a snake and congratulate Ishan for his achievement like he does for you " Shahneel's words were firm because she knows Ishan is sensitive about Shubman's comments , but it was the greed of Shubman which made him walk away from the dinning hall without uttering any other words
Ishan became stiff when Shubman left the dinning hall , Shubman never acted like this infron't of him , he tries to follow him but Shahneel stopped him by grabbing Ishan's hands gently
" Ishan don't babysit him , he's a grown man and he has to learn to acknowledge that you have a life too " Shahneel said and Ishan nodes because she was right , but Ishan became anxious because Shubman never behaved like this that's why he followed him ignoring Shahneel's words
When Ishan entered into Shubman's room he was standing at the giant balcony facing the sky , Ishan went towards him and grabbed his hands gently , Ishan's gentle touch made Shubman look at him , his eyes were emotionless and something dark was luring on them that Ishan never witnessed
" Shubman we are best friends practically a family , I have always celebrated your achievements but today , when I achieved something you are angry " Ishan's voice was vulnerable because his trust on Shubman was shaking because of Shubman's emotionless eyes
" Why do you want to leave me " It was the same question again , and now Ishan felt like Shubman's words were suffocating him , all these years he has been away from Shubman so that he can achieve a proper education and become a man his father wanted him but now that Ishan has to complete his education and fulfill his dream everything feels wrong
" Shubman , becoming a doctor is my dream and I get to practice in the best hospital of India -" " But I am your most important Person your life should be about me only " Shubman cut him off and Ishan's mouth opens slightly because of shock as how can Shubman think like that
" Shubman I have dreams and I-" " Those dreams should be about me only Bambi , that's why I bought you here " That nickname for the first time didn't bring any flutter to his heart instead he felt like a caged deer , for the first time in his life Ishan was realizing that his life was really all about Shubman
The day he came in this mansion he thought it's his home but it was a cage where he has to report his every move to Shubman's father who always orders him to push Shubman into something and because of that Ishan felt utterly guilty that's why he put Shubman's happiness ahead of his own
" You think my life has no meaning ..." Ishan asked taking few steps back as he looked at Shubman who grabbed his waist pulling him closer and this time Ishan felt a force in his gesture a possessive force
" I am your meaning , I am your life Ishan ..and you are mine " Shubman hugged Ishan engulfing him completely but for the first time Ishan felt a sharp pain in his heart and it was the first crack from Shubman to Ishan's heart whose tears falls on Shubman's expensive shirt and get's soaked completely as if it was never there just like Ishan's identity
" I will not let you go..."
