AFTER 15 DAYS-
ishu was never tired of making efforts. He gave his best and was working harder. Everyone was proud of him but were sad as well, as Alay was out most of the times and was spending less time with the family. Ishu decided to confess properly on Alay's birthday. So, he was thinking of a gift.
Ishu- ( Alay ka birthday aa raha hai, par usko kya gift karu. Ek hafta bacha hai or me kuch soch hi nahi paa raha.)
Alec- Aisi shakal kyu banai hai? Or ghar kyu nahi jaa rahe ho. Saara kaam toh hogaya hai tumhara. It's 6 pm go home and rest.
Ishu- yaar Alec kuch idea toh do mujhe. Alay ka birthday hai next week. Kya gift karu?
Alec- you are an artist ishan. Gift him a painting made by you. And I saw your work it's amazing. You are talented
You want me to arrange an exhibition?
Ishu- now is not the right time. Pehle mujhe mere Alay pe focus karne do.
Alec- Hmm. But on a serious note do gift him something made by you. It will add value to your love and efforts.
Ishu- Thanks Alec. I need to go to the mall. I need art supplies. Bye
( I made my way towards the mall and started purchasing all the things I need. I also bought a blazer for him and a leather jacket which he loves to wear while riding bike.
I made sure to check a few more stores just in case if I like something for him. He always gives me amazing gifts and take me out for dinner on my birthday. Now it's my turn to make him feel special and loved. I went to the parking lot and kept everything inside. I sat in my car and saw Steve.)
Steve yahan? Kya Alay bhi yahin hai.
( I was about to get out of the car when I saw something that shook me to the core.
I just sat there processing everything. I looked up again and saw that he wasn't there.
I don't even remember for how long I was sitting there. My phone ringed bringing me out of my thoughts)
Hello, yes mom. Yeah, I will be home soon. Bye.
IN THE MANSION-
Sameer- ( I saw Alay sitting there with Steve and chatting with everyone. Ab kya karne wala hai yeb?)
Nina- bohot dino baad aaye ho yahan. Kaise ho?
Steve- me thik hu mami. And sab ko milke bohot achha laga hai mujhe. Kaam hi itna hota hai ki waqt nahi mil pata.
Samar- Bhabhi ishu aaya nahi?
Nina- Aa jayega. Raaste me hai.
Nina- Lo aa gaya tumhara ishu.
Ishu- ( I entered and saw everyone smiling and then I saw him. I couldn't control my anger)
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?
nina- Ishu yeh kya tarika hai baat karne ka?
Ishu- Baat karna hi kon chahta hai mom. I just want this bastard out of my Alay's life and this house.
Alay- Ishu stop it. You can't speak to him like that.
Ishu- Oh, I can and I will. Get him out of here.
Sameer- Ishan stop it. Yeh Alay ki life hai tumhara haq nahi banta hai usme.
Ishu- why not?
Steve- because he is my boyfriend. Tumhara haq nahi hai ki tum mujhe is ghar se ya uski life se nikalo.
Alay is mine. Or woh mujhse pyaar karta hai.
Sameer- Ishaan room me chalo.
Ishu- HE IS NOT YOURS. DID YOU HEAR ME?
LEAVE MY HAND DAD.
I know you don't want to see me with him. But mera dil uska hai dad. Bohot pyaar karta hu usse. Nahi chahiye mujhe kuch or siwaye mere Alay ke.
I can't leave without him. Me thak gaya hu apko samjha samjha ke. Puri koshish kar chuka hu me but me apki zid me apna pyaar ek baar kho chuka hu but ab dobara nahi khona chahta.
Do you even know how difficult it is for me to even sleep? I keep thinking about where alay is and what is he doing. My mind doesn't stop dad. It hurts to see him with this guy over here. I don't want to see him with anyone else. I have loved him and regret not standing up for him.
I was a coward back then and I lost him. I won't do that mistake again. I LOVE HIM. Did you hear me? I love him.
Sameer- He doesn't love you.
Ishu- ( I chuckled at him)
duniya chahe yahan ki wahan ho jaye par mera Alay mujhse pyaar karna band nahi kar sakta.
Steve- Well woh kar chuka hai. He loves me and is happy with me.
Ishu- Just shut up. Alay he...
Sameer- Ishaan, stop being a brat.
Ishu- YOU STOP BEING SO STUBBORN FOR ONCE.
Why can't you just accept us? Don't you love me?
And he is a cheater. HE IS A FUCKING CHEATER.
Kabir- Ishu, calm down bachhe. Kya dekha hai tumne?
Ishu- Baba, I saw him kissing someone in the parking lot of the mall. I was returning home after shopping. I saw him making out.
Kabir- ishu jhut nahi bolega itni sensitive baat ko leke. Steve if you love someone else then say the truth.
Alay- baba woh..
Ishu- just shut up and stand there. Uski side lene ki zarurat nahi hai
Alay- Apko fark nahi padna chahiye. Waise bhi apko bus apne dad ka dhyan rakhna hai or unki khushi chahiye na. toh mere paas kyu aate ho aap?
Ishu- ( I felt so angry. This stupid man)
behere ho kya? I SAID I LOVE YOU.
I am choosing you and not him. I am shouting here that I love you going against my dad and you have the fucking audacity to defend this cheater.
Isne manipulate kiya hai na tumko?
I WILL FUCKING BREAK YOUR HEAD.
Nina- Alay Pakdo isko.
Alay- ( I held him by his waist and took him upstairs to my room. He kept thrashing in my hold. I put him down and locked the door. He tried to open it but I pinned him to the door)
Ishu- ( he held my hands tightly on the side of my head and kept his head in my neck. He sniffed me)
Alay- ( as I sniffed him he stiffened. I pecked the side of his neck and rubbed my nose there. I felt him shiver)
Kahan gaya mera sher?
Ishu- ( he left my hand and sucked my collar bone hard. I grabbed his hair)
A.. Lay..
Alay- ( I moved back and he still had his eyes closed. I took him in front of the mirror and showed him his collar bone)
Isse kehte hai hickey. And the one you saw on my neck was a rash.
Alay ko uske ishu ke alawa koi hath nahi laga sakta.
( his eyes turned teary. He turned around and hugged me tightly. His whole body shook as he cried in my embrace)
Ishu- I love you.
Alay- I love my baby more. now stop crying. Kahan gaye mere ladaku ishu.
Ishu- I am crazy for Alay. Tumhari mohabbat meri deewangi hai. I can't imagine you with anyone else.
Alay- I am only yours janam.
( his cheeks turned red)
Ishu- yeh sab kya hai Alay?
Alay- Niche chalke baat karte hai.
( I wiped his tears and buttoned up his shirt. He was shy from my closeness. I held his hand and took him downstairs)
Samar- Alay yeh sab kya hora hai? Steve bhi kuch nahi bata raha hai
Alay- Well, ishu ne jiske sath Steve ko dekha woh uska boyfriend hai and I have met him many times.
In fact mamu Or baba bhi jaante hai usse.
Kabir- ( sameer looked equally confused)
Kon hai woh? Or uska kya lena dena hai in sab me?
Alay- kahani ussi se toh shuru hue hai.
Haina mamu? Chris ko toh aap jaante hi ho. ( I smirked at him)
Nina- ( sameer was shocked)
Kya kiya hai apne?
Alay- Well he wanted that boy to get close to me. We all have seen Chris and he is an amazing guy. Soft spoken, respects everyone.
But He didn't knew that Chris is committed. Chris shared this with steve and it was easy. I convinced Steve to be with me.Steve being a good friend helped me so mamu won't do anything crazy.
Nina- But yeh aisa kyu karenge?
Alay- because he challenged me.
Ishi- Kya matlab?
Alay- during your baby ishu phase he said that ishu won't ever go against him and come to me. He said you may forget me after getting better. And that I should move on.
He wanted me to be away from his son. I told him, ki agar me dur bhi gaya toh mere ishu mujhe jaane nahi denge.
When he saw me with Steve, he stopped thinking anything else and focused on work. He thought ishu will forget me Or hate me after seeing with someone else. But he got to know a few days back that we are acting.
In fact mere office aakar confront bhi kiya.
Sameer- Haan sahi kaha tumne. Or yahi sach hai.
My intentions were not bad for you Alay. Chris is genuinely a very great guy. Sweet, charming and homely. He respects everyone. Perfect hota tumhare liye.
Ishu- Dad..
Sameer- I wanted ishu to move on. But ishu ka iski taraf pyaar ko dekhne k baad me ghabra gaya tha. Because kahi na kahi, I knew that ishu will go against me. Or me aisa bilkul nahi chahta tha.
Nina- sameer please...
Sameer- Bus dar lagta hai apne bete k liye. I also want his happiness but log kya kahenge? They are cousins and got married? Will people accept?
Agar business affect hua toh? Everyone has worked so hard for this success.
Will they still be together after facing criticism and backlash.?
Pyaar karna asan hai nina but nibhana utna hi mushkil. Kya kar payenge?
Ishu hyper ho jata hai. He gets scared easily or ro deta hai. Agar office me kisi ne kuch comment kiya toh kya hoga? Seh lega yeh?
Nina- sameer... Aap
Sameer- Me dushman nahi hu nina. Me bus usse protect karna chahta tha. Usne kabhi ladna nahi sikha hai. Shayad galti meri hi hai ki usse hamesha protected rakha or kabhi bhi harsh reality nahi dekhne di.
Alay har jagah sath nahi hoga uske. I am selfish ki me Alay se zyada ishu ke bareme soch raha hu. Because ishu is more emotionally weak than Alay.
Sab sach kehte hai ki yeh samar jaisa hai. Kabir kitni koshish karta hai samar ko strong banane ki. But he didn't succeed. Because samar ka nature hi waisa hai. Same goes for Ishu.
Hum kisika nature puri tarah nahi badal sakte hai nina.
Ishu- dad... I.. I am sorry. Mene apko hurt kiya, rudely baat ki.
I will face anything for him dad. I love him.
Sameer- I know. I know you guys love each other. But it scares me.
A man- KYA ZINDAGI BHAR DARTE HI RAHENGE AAP?
