Shubman dialed Ishan's number with frustration bubbling inside him. After a few rings, Ishan finally picked up.

Ishan: "What's up? Tu ne chat nahi padha na?"

Shubman: "What's up? Sala sab bigaad diya tune!"

Ishan: *chuckles* "Whoa, calm down, buddy. Kya kiya kya maine?"

Shubman: "I thought you assured me you'd fix everything, but now Sharmili knows it was you who messaged her, not me!"

Ishan: *laughing* "are thoda bohot chalta hai."

Shubman: "This is serious, Ishan! She thinks I'm incapable of handling my own affairs. She probably thinks ki Mai gawar hu and I need your help for everything!"

Ishan: *teasingly* "Well, I hate to break it to you, but gawar toh tu sach mein hai."

Shubman: *exasperated* "Oh, come on, Ishan. This isn't the time for jokes."

Ishan: "Alright, alright, I'm sorry.

Shubman: "tune kya bola usse baat karega? What do u want to talk about?"

Ishan: "Raat mein baat karunga.. ladkiyo ko raat mein baat karne waale ladke zyada acche lagte hain"

Shubman: *suspicious* "Tu kya karega accha lagake... Meri bandi hai bkl"

Ishan: *laughing* " Haanji mujhe pata hai.. mazak kar raha tha... But I'll talk to her.
Let's think of a way to fix this, okay? Maybe we can come up with a plan together."

Shubman: *sighs* "Fine. But this time, let's try to keep it simple and straightforward. No more unnecessary bakchodi."

Ishan: "Got it, sir. I'll make sure to stick to the script this time."

Shubman: "Thanks, Ishu. Tu nahi rehta to kya hota."

Ishan: *grinning* "Hey, what are best friends for? Now, let's get to work and sort out this situation before it's too late!"

Shubman: "Haan, we better. I don't want to lose Sharmili because of some silly mistake."

Ishan: "Don't worry, Shubman you will get your Sapno ki raani. Just leave it to the master problem-solver."

Shubman: *smirks* "I hope you're right, Ishan. I really do."

As they continued their conversation, brainstorming ideas and making plans, Shubman couldn't help but feel a sense of relief knowing that Ishan was there to support him, even in the toughest of times. Despite their occasional disagreements and mishaps, their bond remained unbreakable, a testament to the true meaning of friendship.
