NEXT DAY-

Ishu- ( I woke up early and got ready,so I can apologize and go with him to the office like before. I made some sandwiches and coffee for him.)

Sammy yeh sab tasty toh hai na?

Samar- Are ishu, tension not baby. When sammy is here then no fear.

Me bhi dekhta hu kaise nahi khayega. Waise kya sach me tumne usse kiss kiya?

Ishu- Gosh sammy, mujhe woh part skip karna chahiye tha.

Nina- Konsa part? Or kitchen me itni subah kya kar rahe ho?

Samar- Mera damad banne ki taiyaari. Isne confess kiya..

Nina- Or usne reject kiya. Sahi kaha na?

Samar- apko kaise pata?

Nina- Bachhon ka khel lagta hai tum dono ko yeh sab? samar isne uska dil dukhaya hai. Ek confession se sab thik nahi ho jayega.

Papad belo ab nawab sahab.

Ishu- I will do anything for my Baby.

Nina- Sharam karle, maa hu teri. Or daant dikhana band kar. Yeh kya banaya hai?

Ishu- Sandwich and uski coffee. Uske room me lekar jaunga.

Now move.

Nina- ( he took the tray and went upstairs)

Kya lagta hai,Maanega Tumhara beta?

Samar- nahi maanega, apne baap pe gaya hai. Aasan raasta nahi hai bhabhi. Uska gussa bilkul Kabir jaisa hai. Baba sahi kehte the, yeh bada hoke Kabir banega.

Nina- Kaash pehle warn kar dete ki mera beta samar banega.

Samar- Bhabhi... Not again.

Nina- stop whining. Ek cup apne hatho ki chai pila do.

IN ALAY'S ROOM-

Ishu- ( I opened the door and Thank god isne lock nahi kiya. I went inside and kept the tray on the coffee table.

I sat beside him and caressed his face and kissed his head)

Hey, baby. Get up, warna late hoga.

( he snuggled in my stomach. Kitna pyaara lagta hai aise. Or uthte hi pahad ke tarah. Mera alay)

Baby, get up.

Alay- ishu please.

( I opened my eyes as I felt him caress my face. I sat up and created distance)

Mana kiya tha na kal apko.

Ishu- ( I kissed his cheek)

I am sorry baby. Maine hath uthaya, please maaf kardo. Dobara kabhi nahi hoga aise.

Breakfast laya hu. Go and get ready.

( he just glared at me and went to get ready. He came out after 15 mins and started drying his hair. I stared at his body and suddenly felt jealous. Steve ne bhi dekha hoga isko aise. Ji toh karta hai uski taange tod du)

Alay- Yeh sab kya drama hai?

Ishu- isko nashta bolte hai hamare ghar me. Baitho me serve karta hu.

Alay- zarurat nahi hai. Me apne maa baba ke sath kha lunga.

Ishu- Me baba se keh dunga ki tumne mujhe rulaya hai. You know he will believe me.

Here, ( I gave him his coffee and sandwiches and started having my mine)

Kaisa bana hai?

Alay- Maa hamesha achha hi banate hai.

Ishu- Mene banaya hai.

Alay- tray laane ko banana nahi kehte. I am done you can continue.

Ishu- ( he went inside his study and I took everything and went downstairs. I picked up my bag and saw baba having breakfast)

Help kar dijiye.

Kabir- Subah subah kya chahiye.

Ishu- Apne damad se koi aise baat karta hai.

Kabir- Khayali pulao subah banaya ya raat se taiyaar hai?

Ishu- Sammy sahi kehte hai, alay bilkul apki copy hai. Taane bhi dono ek jaise maarte ho.

Bus itni help kar dijiye, ki usse kahiye mujhe office drop kare.

Kabir- Apne hone wale sasur se aise baat karte hai? Pehle toh muh nahi khulta tha. Mere bete se pyaar kya hua, mujhse bohot bindas hoke baat karne lage ho.

Ishu- Baba, pyaar sab sikha deta hai.

Kabir- Hmm, dimaag sahi jagah hi chalana. Warna pagalon ki kami nahi hai is ghar me.

Waise tumhare dad ko pata hai?

Alay- Baba I am going. Aap aa jana.

Kabir- Ishu ko sath leke jao.

Alay- Baba inke office ka time nahi hua hai abhi.

Ishu- Hogaya hai. I started going on time unlike before.

Alay- Let's go.

Ishu- ( he went out and I hugged baba)

You are the best.

Kabir- ( he ran behind Alay)

Pagal hai bilkul.

Alay started the bike and Ishu sat behind him. Ishu wrapped his hands around his waist and held him tightly. He kept his head on his back and was smiling like an idiot.

Soon they reached the office parking lot. Alay asked him to get down.

Ishu- let's have lunch together.

Alay- I don't have time. Meeting hai meri.

Ishu- meeting hai ya steve se milne ja rahe ho?

Alay- don't start here. Go inside, mujhe bhi jaana hai.

Ishu- remove your helmet.

Alay- ( I removed my helmet)

Kya bachpana hai ishu. I am seriously getting late.

( he pecked my lips.)

Are you crazy?

Ishu- Yes, for you.

( he rubbed his lips and i pecked again)

Ab late nahi hora? Agar wapas pocha na toh I will keep kissing you.

Alay- ( he kissed my cheek and said good day. I drove to the next building and parked there. )

PA- Sir, you have a meeting.

Alay- I know. Just make it quick as I have to be somewhere.

PA- ok, sir.

Alay- hello, thik hai aa jaunga. Aap tension mat lo.

Apko mana kiya hai kya ab tak? toh fir tension free ho jaiye. Bye.

TIME SKIP-

Alec- Ishan, yeh sab aa gaya hai. Kya karna hai ab?

Ishu- Yahan rakhdo me uske paas khud leke jaunga.

( I saw the time and it was 1:30 pm. I picked everything up and made my way towards his office.I went inside his office and arranged everything on the table.)

This is good. Uske PA ne kaha tha 2 pm ke pehle free hojayega.

Alay- what are you doing here?

( I looked at the table and then back at him. He was looking happy and smiling)

Ishu, aap...

Ishu- I am hungry babe. Let's eat ok.

( I removed his jacket and kept it on his chair and pushed him towards the washroom)

Go and wash your hands.

( he came back and I served him)

Kaisa hai? Tumhare favorite restaurant se hai.

Alay- Thank you.

Ishu- ( we had lunch normally as I didn't want him to be upset. I was asking about meeting and also informed him about the progress of the project which he signed)

Alay- Do you wanna continue your dream? I think you should.

Showcase your art in exhibition or do freelancing like Maa. Don't let your passion go away.

Ishu- passion hi toh follow kar raha hu. I won't give up.

( but he didn't get my point)

Alay- Achhi baat hai. Saturday and suday you can work on yourself as you don't wanna leave mamu with this workload.

Ishu- I am sorry, kal raat hath utha diya. Me bohot sharminda hu. I cannot undo it, but it did hurt me as well.

Alay- I forgive you. Aapka ho gaya?

Ishu- meeting hai kya? Tumhare PA..

Alay- I have to be somewhere. it's quite urgent.

Ishu- ( pakka uske paas jaa raha hai. But I have to be calm. Gussa hoke isse khona du. )

Thik hai. Me yeh sab rakh deta hu, just ask someone to clean it.

Alay- I will do it.

( he went inside the washroom and I removed everything from the table and sprayed room freshener.

He came back and smiled looking at the clean table. He kissed my cheek)

Ishu- I love you baby. Ghar pe milte hai. Zyada late mat karna. I will wait for dinner.

Alay- Ishu...

( before I could say anything he just left from there.)

Ishu-( I will do everything for you baby. I went to my office and completed my work. I had a meeting with dad for the project and it went well. The whole team liked my suggestions and decided to implement those.

It was around 7:30 pm when I decided to go home. As I entered I saw vani and baba sitting there)

Hey guys.

Vani- you look happy bhai.

Ishu- woh toh me hu. I had an amazing lunch with your bhaiyu. I need to get fresh and then I will be back.

( I did my routine and read a few files. I ordered a few art supplies. I will start my painting again. Alay ne sahi kaha hai that I should not compromise on my dreams)

It was dinner time and everyone gathered except for Alay. He wasn't home and his phone was off. Ishu was tensed as he never kept his phone off. He asked everyone to continue and said he will wait for Alay. sameer quietly finished his dinner and left. Others did the same.

It was around 12 am when Alay came home. Ishu was sleeping in the dinning area. Alay woke him up. Ishu asked him to freshen up and started heating the food. Soon alay came and they had their dinner together.

Ishu- Is tarah apna phone band mat rakhna. I was tensed.

Alay- battery died. Don't think so much. next time wait mat karna.

Ishu- ( saying that he went towards his room. I went behind him)

Alay... ( I pecked his cheeks) good night.

TIME SKIP-

It has been a month and Ishu kept making efforts. Alay was busy and no one knew what was going on with him as he wasn't sharing anything with anyone. Even his PA was confused.

Ishu was doing everything for Alay. He started learning how to cook his favorite dishes. He took Alay's advice and started painting along with samar. He even had a conversation with sameer who ignored the topic and then ishu stopped saying anything to him.

Ishu was hurt and jealous that Alay was not spending much time with him but he didn't want to force him. He just kept on making efforts, hoping for the best.
