Midnight Reveries | ishan k. × shubman g. Oneshots

You look like my mother

It was a day off for ICT. The youngsters wanted to go for movie and the older ones wanted to rest.

"Shub bol na inko. Movie chalte hai. Movie~~ Movie~~"Ishan jumped upon Shubman.

"Movie~~ Movie~~" the other youngsters too chimed in.

"You all convince them. I have to attend this call." Shubman excused himself as his phone rang.

"Haan Ish...sor-" Shubman returned after a while, but Ishan cut him off in between.

"Movie is decided. Get ready comrade Gill." Ishan sounded ecstatic.

"Haan wahi bata raha tha. I've got an urgent work to attend so I won't be able to join you all. Sorry guys." Shubman spoke apologetically.

"Kya yaar Shub. How excited I was. Okay I understand but I want an outing (read:date) the next Sunday." Ishan ordered.

"Achha done. Ab I have to leave." And Shubman left.

The ICT was in a shopping mall.
Plans after movie, you know.

"Bhaiya look at this watch for Shu-- oww look where you're going."

Ishan saw a goofball with teary eyes standing in front of him.

"Sorry baby! Are you alright?" Ishan asked while wiping his tears.

"Mee ish okay." The kid answered in his honey coated voice.

"Phew! That's good. Where are your parents baby?"

"Mama...mama!" The kid looked at him.

"Huh?"

"You...mama...same"

"But baby how can I look like your mamma? I am a boy."

"You pwetty....mama pwetty. Sho you my mama" the little girl spoke with a pout adorning his face making Ishan remember of a certain someone.

"Baby where is your papa?"

At this, the kid took his finger into his little hands and pulled Ishan after him.

"Papa! Papa!"

"Ishi baby. Where were you? And who is--- Ish...."

Ishan glanced at the man standing in front of him, who was apparently his best friend. Ishan could hear his heart breaking into uncountable pieces.

"Papa see mama." The kid pointed at Ishan.

"Ish I-"

"So she's your child? You were married all along Shub?"

"No Ish. Listen to me pl-" he was stopped again in between when the rest of ICT arrived.

"Papa shee ....lohit shama. Ishi big fan."

"Ish what are you doing here? And Shubman? Why is she calling you papa?"

"Ishi baby....Shubie papa" the child said innocently.

"Rohit Bhai she's my daughter, Ishita."

"Kya bol raha hai! Bachi kaha se aayi?  BCCI ko kya kahega? And her mother?"

(a/n- fuck BCCI)

"Ishi no mama. Ishi only Shubie papa." Ishita said with a pout.

"Ishi shh...Bhaiya I'll drop her home and then I'll answer every question of yours."

"Nwo papa... Ishi shtay wee mama." Ishita clinged to Ishan.

"Shub let her be with Ishan. You both come with us and clarify everything before it leaks outside." Virat said.
