Ishan was sitting at the edge of Shubman's bed. The entire bedroom excessively smelled of worthy flowers and room freshers. Shubman's dad arranged best decoration for his only son's first night. They gave Ishan a warm welcome to their house and cared a lot.

But Ishan liked nothing of these. Why care if he haven't any feelings for them ? His heart broke into pieces, nobody cared of it. So he too doesn't need their fake cherishing. FUCK!!......

He was lost in thought so couldn't feel Shubman's appearance. The locking sound of the door brought Ishu in sense. First he became nervous and stood up.

"Arey...sit down"

Shubman made him sit and himself too. Ishan sat looking down.

"Are you tired ?"

"No. You can do whatever you want" Ishan replied coldly.

"I'm not asking for that. You can sleep if you are ... otherwise..."

"Otherwise ?" Ishan looked at Shubman's eyes to check is there any desire or not.

"We can gossip"

"Then better to sleep" 

Shubman felt that Ishan isn't comfortable with him, thus he has no mood to talk with him.

Ishan put a big hugging pillow at the middle of bed separating their sides.

"What are you doing ?" Shubman surprised.

"You can see" Ishan laid down.

"What's the need of it ?"

"With that we can't touch eachother during nap"

"If we, what's the problem ? We're married now..."

"Doesn't matter"

Ishan turned aside and closed his eyes not giving a single chance to Shubi to say anything. Shubman had latent wish to talk with Ishu, about his likes, preferences etc. He never expected Ishan's such cold reaction.

After sometime Ishan felt bed dipping and moved near the edge as soon as possible. Silent tears dropped on pillow. Yes, he wished this night... a floral bed... sheet covered with roses... and Mayank... beside him.... with grommie attire... if Mayank was here... Ishu would blush and Mayank forcefully held his face... would taste Ishu's soft lips... bit them and fight with his tongue..................

"BUT THESE ALL ARE DAYDREAMS!!!" Ishan shouted unintentionally. Shubman startled and sit up.

"What happened Ishan ? Have you had a nightmare ?"

Shubman saw Ishan crying and panting badly, his body was sweating, he's blabbering something in drowsiness which he couldn't understand. He took a soft towel and started wiping his sweaty body.

"Calm down Ishan, everything is ok... listen, look at me... shhh..."

Ishan slowly slowly came back to sense and discovered himself between Shubman's arms, he's soothing him. Ishu didn't free himself, for some unknown reason he felt those hands good and safe. Shubman made him drink some water and massaged his back to help in breathing.

"Hey... are you ok ?"

Ishan nodded his head and moved a little from him.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna touch you again. Just did to help you"

"Thanks" Ishan turned his face aside.

"May I know, are you really agreed in the marriage or not ?"

Ishan embarassed with that sudden question but managed it.

"Of course. I told in front of everyone"

"You told but your behaviour not seems so"

"Then what do you want ?"

"Just to see you happy"

Ishan couldn't answer for a long time, he lost himself in those deep eyes. Then chuckled in sorrow...

"You can't mr. Gill, my happiness is completely ruined"

"Why are you saying like that ? I asked before marriage to talk with you, but you never consider to share anything..."

"I don't wanna explain my problems to anyone, let them stay my own....... there's nothing belongs to me except my pain..."

Shubman was going to say something but Ishan stopped him.

"Now please lemme sleep, for my happiness...."

Shubi nodded his head and Ishan laid down covering himself totally with blanket. Shubman had nothing to do except overthinking ------ why Ishan is behaving like this ? Isn't he happy with their marriage ? What was he talking about pain ? Who could give pain to this cute, innocent boy ?

Shubman was so serious guy but that time he badly wished to hug the little boy and say --- I'll destroy all reasons of your pain, I'll make you smile always, just say once... why are you unhappy ?............................
