Shubman's an amazing hidden artist, and Ishan doesn't even know how to dip a brush in paint.
They're cricketers for the profession. They Babysit Viraj for a day.

...

*Third person's POV*

"Ishu... I need your help for a day, please"
"Yes, Bhaiya? Just name it! Don't say please. Paap lagega mujhe"
"Bas ek din ke liye mujhe aur teri bhabhi ko kahin jaana hai... It's very urgent. And we have to take Ma and Papa along... Tu please Viraj ko dekhlega na peeche se?"

"Of course, Bhaiya! Don't worry at all! I'm an expert at this!"
"..."
Raj gave him a look and Ishan let out a nervous chuckle.
"Except the one time we broke the TV screen, but that wasn't my fault!"
"Yes, blame it on the kid now"
"Bhaiya you know that's not what I meant-"
"Fine fine... And, he has a project... It's important"
"Of course! I'm a project master!"
"It's a drawing project"
"...poor boy"

Ishan said, keeping his hand on his chest and shaking his head.
"You have to help him, alright?"
"...okay, but, don't expect it to be the best"
"I'll not even expect a good from you"

Raj sighed and left.
"Bye bye! Drive safe!"

He waved to his family and ran back inside

He waved to his family and ran back inside.
"Ab to party karenge! Haina Babu?"
"Yayyyy! Chachu, let's eat popcorn!"
"...Chhote, tere chachu ko to popcorn bhi banan nahi aata... Ruk, youtube pe dekhta hun"

Ishan opened a youtube tutorial for making popcorn and after burning them all successfully, he just decided to scratch the idea and ordered some, along with some coke, of course not for Viraj.

"Chachu! Let's watch a movie!"
"Okay... Which movie do you want to watch?"
"Hmmm... This one!"
"Oh... Finding nemo?"
"Yes! Goldfish!"

Ishan smiled and ruffled Viraj's hair. He couldn't believe how he was 7 already.
He brought out the blanket and they both snuggled inside, watching the movie that Viraj had probably already watched a thousand times, once again.

The doorbell rang and Ishan got up.
"It must be your POPCORN!"
"Yayy! Chachu get them fast!"
"Yes, Baby. Sit tight and right here."

He rushed to the door, only to find someone he was not at all expecting, never in a million years.
"Shubman?"
"Hi Isha-"

Ishan didn't even wait one second and closed the door on his face and took out his phone to call his Bhaiya.
"Bhaiya?! You didn't even tell me?!"
"What?"
"WHY SHUBMAN?!"
"He's a great artist"
"ANYONE COULD'VE DONE THAT! Even Mayank! Why him?!"
"Just to help my son out... Ishan, don't overreact. You're not the kid here."

Ishan grunted on the phone as the line went off. He took a deep breath.
"Alright. Just open. Smile. And call him in."

He unlocked the door, only to find Shubman pouting at the doorstep, which quickly changed into a smile as he saw Ishan again.
"Hi!"
