Gumnaam Rishta

chapter 10

The music pulsed through Ishaan's veins, the neon lights blurring his vision. He was lost in the moment, dancing with his teammates, celebrating their recent victory.

The air was thick with the smell of sweat and alcohol, the energy electric.

Suddenly, a hand landed on his shoulder. It was Siraj, his eyes filled with concern. "Dude, tu thoda out of it lag raha hai," he said, his voice barely audible over the music. "Chalo, fresh air lete hain."

Ishaan nodded weakly, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over him. He let Siraj lead him away from the dance floor, towards the exit. As they walked, Ishaan stumbled, his vision blurring further. Siraj caught him, his grip firm.
"Chill bro, tu theek hai," Siraj assured him. "Bas thoda rest kar le."

Ishan said ''bas miyan mujhe apne room nahi jana after that argument with shubman in the afternoon mera mann hii nahi kar
Rha hai uski shakal dekhne ka''
Siraj ''toh phir tu mere room mein chal thik or koi argument mat kariyo mere saath''

They reached Siraj's room, a dim and quiet refuge from the club's chaos. Siraj helped Ishaan onto the  bed.

Siraj assured him. "Bas thoda rest kar le. Kuch khaaya hai tujhe?"

Ishaan shook his head, his stomach rumbling. He hadn't eaten much all day, caught up in the excitement of the match.

"Chalo, kuch khane ka arrange karte hain," Siraj said, ordering room service.

Siraj asked ishaan ''kya khayega ishu tu''

Ishan replied ''ummm mutton biryani and fish korma with mirchi ka saalan''

Siraj ordered room service, making sure to include Ishaan's favorite dishes which he asked for. As they waited for the food to arrive, they chatted about the match, laughing and reminiscing. Ishaan felt a sense of comfort and care, knowing that Siraj was there for him.

The aroma of sizzling kebabs and fragrant biryani filled the room as the room service arrived. Ishaan's eyes lit up, his hunger pangs intensifying.

Siraj, ever the considerate friend, helped him sit up and set up the food.

As they ate, they continued their conversation, laughter filling the room. Siraj shared anecdotes from his childhood, painting vivid pictures with his words.

Ishaan listened intently, his earlier fatigue forgotten.

Siraj said ''ishu yeh khane ka test thora weird nahi lag rha teko''

Ishu replied ''nahi toh siraj infact meko toh neend aaa rahi hai khana khate hii bohot zada''

After dinner,

Siraj took out some spear comfy clothes for ishan to change into
It was shorts with a long t-shirt for ishan to change into

Siraj said to ishaan ''ishu yeh le change karle tu''

Ishan said to siraj after taking the clothes from his hands ''thanks miyan''

Siraj helped Ishaan get ready for bed. As he tucked Ishaan in, he noticed the younger man's peaceful expression. A soft smile crept onto Siraj's face. He had always admired Ishaan's passion and dedication, but tonight, he saw a different side to him - a vulnerable, almost childlike side.

Siraj hopped next to ishan in bed and wished him good night and slept after getting under the covers with ishan

They both slept after that

2hours later

The room was bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, casting long shadows across the sleeping figures. Sara crept in, her movements silent as a shadow.
