It was by midnight when Shubman was done with his work. After turning of his laptop and putting all the files away, he looked at Ishan snoring softly.

"You wanted to go out today and have been trapped in this room because of me. But don't worry I will take you out, as promised." Shubman smiled picking up Ishan in his arms.

Ishan was so small, so cuddly. It was like he was made to stay in his arms forever.

And his fat ass was just a cherry on top. Shubman tries to not sexualize him but it's Ishan. How could anyone not think about just bending him to the desk and fuck his thick booty?

[A/N -Shubman that's creepy]

[Ps :: Koi nii bolega look who's talking]

But it wasn't just the lust. Even if Ishan didn't looked the way he looks, Shubman would still be loving him. Even if he was a worm, Shubman would be keeping him in his pocket forever. Shubman loved him too much to ever let go off him.

"What magic have you done to me? Why am I always drawn to you? Why can't you see my love for you? Why don't you remember me? Was it so easy for you to forget about me? Our past?" Shubman sighed walking out of the office with Ishan in his arms.

The guards followed him behind as he sat down in the car.

"Hardik bhaiya please drive the car, I want to rest on the backseat." Shubman said sitting on the backseat with Ishan in his arms.

"To the mansion?" Hardik asked turning on the ignition.

"No, I have a better place in mind." Shubman grinned. He looked at Ishan pecking his forehead.

'You wanted to enjoy baby? You will be enjoying for staying put and letting me work.' Shubman chuckled as the car drove off to another destination.

[A/N - This flashback will be continuation of the flashback on last chapter. Reread it if you have forgotten]

"But miss I just said the truth,"

"Ishan some things are not said by the kids," She sighed petting his head.

She doesn't want to tell the heartbreaking news to him but he can't just unintentionally push back the people who are willing to adopt him. It was the second time this happened. He is small and such an obedient child, he has chances to get adopted. She doesn't want him to end up like most of the orphans in the orphanage.

"But what was wrong in it?"

"Ishan beta, telling people that they can only keep you temporarily will make them sad. We already tell them this but then you say it again so it sounds rude. Now do you want to seem rude? Aren't you a good boy?"

"Nuhh I am a good boy, I am sorry miss. I won't say this again I promise."

"I knew it you would understand me. That's why I brought you extra ice cream. You already ate your cone right? I brought you another small one." She grinned handing him a 10rs. vanilla icecream cone.

Ishan squealed hugging her tightly. She chuckled patting his back.

"I will go and check on the small babies, if they had their dinner or not. You finish your cone and then get settled for bedtime story okay?"

Ishan nodded his head already slurping the ice cream.

She lecked his forehead before getting up and walking out.

"Aren't you going to share this with me?" Ishan gasped at the sudden voice jolting him. He looked up at Shubman already staring at him.

"Are you a ghost?" Ishan huffed puffing his cheeks.

"Aren't you going to share this with me?" Shubman asked the same question instead of answering him.

"Why? Didn't you got your icecream?" Ishan scowled.

"Nope, the warden didn't gave me to punish me for not acting good in front of the elder people who came to visit." Shubman shrugged.

"It's your punishment then why should I share it with you?" Ishan retorted.

"I wasn't given any toy as punishment last week as well but then you shared your toy with me. You shared the bed time story book with me because all the other books were taken. Even last to last week I was punished and not given kheer  during dinner but you shared with me." Shubman pointed out.

"That's because you are new here so I didn't wanted you to be sad. And miss says sharing is caring so I share with you and everyone else as well whenever I can."

"Then why can't you share your ice cream as well?"

"Nuhh, ice cream doesn't counts in things. We rarely get ice cream, barely one time a month after the special visit is done. And whenever ny parents doesn't come to visit I get sad, when I get sad only ice cream can cheer me up and give me strength to wait for more months for my parents to come. I would never share my happiness." Ishan said eating his ice cream faster so that Shubman won't take it.

"You really think your parents would come huh?" Shubman scoffed.

"What do you mean?"

"Ishan we all are here because none of our parents will come back ever. This place is our new family untill someone comes and do the honor to adopt us. Today also you left the golden chance to get accepted,"

"What are you saying? My parents will come back. Yours won't but mine will. They promised me."

"And do you think their promise is true? If that's true then where are your parents huh? Why aren't they here to get back their good boy? Look you still have chances to get adopted so stop this facade of belief. Your parents are dead. They would never come back— ouch"

Ishan slapped Shubman hardly while sniffling.

"Liar liar pants on fire. Don't lie. My parents will come. Don't say they are dead," Ishan sniffled slapping him.

"Ouch kiddo stop slapping me," Shubman growled pushing Ishan.

Ishan squeaked falling onto the floor. He started sobbing while throwing a fit.

The sudden loud wails made a guard run into the room.

"What happened?" The guard looked at crying Ishan and Shubman who was trying to comfort him.

"Liar Liar pants on fire–" Ishan sobbed punching his chest whil Shubman tried to cradle him.

"Stop crying, i just told the truth." Shubman sighed.

The guard took Ishan away telling Shubman to not bully small children. Shubman glared at the guard who was now cradling Ishan and trying to make him stop crying.

Shubman huffed getting on his bed. He just told the truth to Ishan.

---

Ishan didn't came back to sleep on his bed. Instead the warden came to get Ishan's crocodile stuff toy.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop causing a ruckus? And this time you bullied a 4 year old toddler. Don't you have any shame?" She grunted.

"I didn't bullied him. I just told the truth," Shubman muttered.

"Who told you to do that? Who do you think you are huh? Do you even know how to take care of children? Because of you now that poor child has been crying non stop asking for his parents. Where do we get his parents from now?" She snapped.

"I didn't know he would overreact–"

"Shubman he is a child. Children tend to overreact, they don't know how to cater their emotions. And Ishan is just a toddler. Even you are a child. Stop acting like a 40 year old mature man. You are a literal child so learn to act like one," She scowled going out of the room.

Shubman looked at the empty bunk bed below to him. He just wanted to help Ishan. To get him a good home.

He will apologize to him when he gets back.

---

Ishan didn't came back for two weeks. Shubman didn't saw him for two weeks. He wasn't seen anywhere, not in the ground, or bedtime story room or the bimonthly movie time or the lunch room or even in the corridors.

It was as if Ishan dissapeared from the orphanage. And Shubman wasn't the only person who missed him. Those three elite baddies,who were 8 or 9 yeard old themselves, missed Ishan too or rather having fun with the boy.

Shubman didn't had the guts to ask the warden or any miss so he just waited. Waited for Ishan to get back hoping he was fine.

And Ishan was fine. After two weeks, on a morning, Ishan came back to the room with a miss holding the child in her arms. She gently put him down on his bed while Ishan was tightly holding his crocodile stuff toy.

She pecked his forehead before walking out.

Ishan just pulled the blankets on top of him while hugging his crocodile.

"Hey shawty how are you?" Shubman chirped but didn't got any response.

Shubman climbed down from his bunk bed and sat down on Ishan's bed.

"Ishan, hey. It's been so many days. Okay I am sorry, atleast talk to me." Shubman murmured but didn't heard any reply.

Shubman pulled off the blanket only to get an angry Ishan latching the blanket on himself again.

"Woah fiesty baby, you can have your blanket back. Talk to me atleast. Hey if you don't talk to me then I will cuddle you and I am sure your Mr Crocodile won't like you cuddling others," Shubman smirked.

"What?" Ishan scowled finally looking at him.

"I am sorry kiddo. I shouldn't have done that." Shubman sighed.

Ishan didn't replied but stared at him.

"Please forgive me, I wouldnever tease you ever again,"

"No Mr croc says you are meanie. We won't forgive you," Ishan replied huffing.

"Oh look who is back after so long. We thought warden finally had enough of you and kicked you out just like your family did." A child chuckled.

Ishan pulled the blanket on top of his head again. Shubman could see Ishan's eyes glistening as they continued to make fun of him.

"What are you all laughing for huh? Didn't all of your family left you that's why you are here? Why are you making fun of a child for the same thing which happened to you all?" Shubman growled.

"Why are you getting angry bhaiya? We were just having fun,"

"Having fun by bullying a 4 year old. If you guys want to have fun then come amd fight with me. I will show you all what real fun is," Shubman snarled.

Everyone were taken aback with the intensity. Ishan was also staring at Shubman now. Ishan started crying again.

"Wait did I do something wrong again? I am sorry I am sorry please don't cry again," Shubman said in a panic pulling Ishan on his lap.

Ishan cried while burying his face in Shubman's neck.

Shubman cradled him while whispering sweet nothing to his ear trying anything just to calm down the crying male. And after a while it did. Ishan slept like a baby in Shubman's arms while Shubman just held him protectively.

"I am going to Delhi,"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Shub I am. Just sitting here while beating Naman isn't going to get me back my Mayank. I will go and bring him back to me. This time permanently," Abhishek gave a smug smile on call as he talked with Shubman.

"Do whatever you want to, I have everything sorted here for a week or two, but make sure to come before this month ends. We have a very important meeting," Shubman said.

"I remember about it Shub, don't worry I will be back in a few days. Just take care of the work in my absence. I promise I will make it up to you later."

"No problem Abhi, go and get your love.  I am excited to have a brother in law," Shubman chuckled.

"What about my brother in law huh?" Abhishek hummed.

"Your brother in law is currently asleep in my arms. I have something planned for him. I just hope he will like it,"

"He will love it don't worry Shub. All the best,"

"All the best to you too bro. Have a safe flight,"

With that Shubman cut the call and starrd at Ishan.

Truly a miracle he have this guy in his arms right now. He must have saved a life in his past to get to have a person like Ishan in his life.
