They reached the hotel. Mahi bhai put virat on the bed keeping pillows around him as he tucked a soft duvet kissing his forehead.

The team sat in pin drop silence looking gloomy.

Dada- guys I understand app sab vi ko bohot Miss karne wale ho. But understand if we don't turn back things to normal kitni problem ho jati. Next match is in this weekend matlab char din baad. Virat captain hai, kya bahana dete hum ki kyu nahi dik Raha hai virat? Anushka aur Ritika arahi hai, unko kese samjate! Virat ka career, that's more important right and he is an asset to the team. Usko kese kho dete hum?

Sakshi- Dada is right. Chalo abhi ye sad faces nahi smiling faces lao. And order food, Aaj last day samjo diet ka. Kal jab cheeku form me ayega tho yaad hai na cabbage soup hi Milna hal

Everyone smiled.

They woke virat up to eat.

Virat was jumping seeing chole bhature in front of him. He pocked it to pop clapping his hands.

Mahi- Mera cheeku

Virat smiled

They all fed virat a morsel each and took one from his hand. Then they played cricket in a plastic bat and ball till there hearts content and sleep took over.

Anushka and Ritika Lands in.

Ritika - konsi hotel me hai wo sab Anu

Anushka - I have got the location Ri let's go and show them what we have got

Ritika - you bet

They reached the hotel and asked for the Room of Indian Cricketer

Receptionist- Mam Mr.Mahendra Singh Dhoni has asked for complete Privacy. They have book a whole floor for the same reason. Can you please wait here while I connect to their room and get the permission

Anushka - wait hold on, don't let them know we are here. We are here to surprise them that's it, and I assure you that they won't have an issue with us visiting them at all

Receptionist- I can understand mam, but I need to ask them

Ritika- okay then, don't ask them but can you inform us when any of them come here to the lobby?

Receptionist - yes mam ofcourse

Anushka - can we get a room

Receptionist - sure mam, here is the keep. Please leave your luggage here mam, bell boy will drop it in your room

Ritika - it's fine we don't have a luggage, it's just a small bag. We'll carry it

While walking to their room they saw many girls standing near a glass door.
They were literally drooling.

Anushka- ye kya yaha chocolate baat raha hai

Ritika- Punjabi khana bhi tho hosakta hai

Anushka- ha ha srilanka me tho Panjabi khana hi milega na

Ritika- accha chal dekte hai

Anushka's eyes popped out of socket.

Their her man was in black shorts, red headphones on and most importantly he was shirtless. His abs clearly visible and his body shining due to his sweat. God he was a sight!

All of a sudden she realised this sight has to be her privilege, this view was her property! Ya whatever!

Dare this man show off! Doesn't he have enough clothes? Why does he have to roam bare body.?

Anushka- excuse me!

The girls didn't even lift there eyes off him

Anushka- rits *whining*

Ritika- go hug him authoritatively

Anushka needed nothing more to Hear, she pushed the girls to open the glass door. Switched off his treadmill, took of his headphones.

Virat- wow! Nush what a pleasant surprise

Anushka- get down

Virat was surprised with this tone but got down nevertheless but was again shocked with the way she hugged him tight.

The girls outside looked as if someone squeezed whole lemon

Ritika *smirking* - oh these guys na they start their PDA anywhere, but they are just so PERFECT.. I think you girls need to give them some privacy

The girls moved muttering curse to God on how unfair it is to make one virat kohli only!!!

Seeing the girls move out Anushka pushed virat and started hitting him.

Virat- aree subha subha mata Chad gayi kya? What's wrong with you! Achanak agayi, achanak itni zor se hug kiya, abb achanak maar rahi ho?! What happened?

Anushka- First go and wear a Dam shirt

Virat- *cheeky* am i distracting you

Ritika- me bhi hu Mr

Virat- oh just a second Rits

He wore the blue minion t-shirt he had removed. He went giving a small hug to his Punjabi sis but received a slap on his head from her too..

Virat- ouch! Pagal kudiyo! Mene kya Kiya hai?

Ritika- wo baccha kon hai cheeku

Virat- konsa baccha?

Anushka- the one who was with the team yesterday

Virat- koi hoga nush, par huva kya hai

Anushka- koi bhi baccha tumhe kese resemble kar sakta hai virat

Virat- wait, you are doubting me?

Ritika- that's not the point

Virat- then what's the point?

Anushka- wo baccha kis ka hai?

Virat- look honestly muje yaad nahi hai me kaal kaha tha, and me abhi abhi 2hr pehele yaha gym agaya tha. I checked my cholesterol and it was High Don't know what I ate?! And tumhe pata hai, I don't even know when sakshi bhabi, Dada, Sachin paa and yuvi paa came here? Sab ek hi room me so rahe the! I was literally sleeping between bhabi and bhai, you know how embarrassing that is!

Ritika- calm down vi, breath breath. Nush get him some water

Anushka - Ye lo

He drank water breathing!

Anushka- I'm sorry vi, I'm so sorry. I don't know what got into me. You guys weren't receiving our calls and the team yesterday was looking tensed and they were all acting weird. Hum se galti hogayi, I'm sorry . I was stupid, I'm so sorry

Ritika- I'm sorry too cheeku, I'm really sorry

Virat took both of them in a hug.

Virat- it's okay, maybe the team was pranking you both. Tumlogo ko yaha lane ke liye!

Anushka- well maybe

Cheeku, cheeku the voice was surrounded every corner

Virat- kya hogaya, let's go see

The team who had forgotten that by today virat might have grown up already was searching for their chotu vi.

Virat- kya khogaya mahi bhai?

Mahi- aree pata nahi cheeku kaha chala gaya!

Dada- mahi balcony check kar, guys swimming pool, wardrobe, bed aur couch ke neche decko jaldi

Virat- me kya chota baccha hu bed, wardrobe aur couch ke neche chupunga?

The team turned back, virat was standing there like he had never grown young! Kuldeep, jassi, yuvi and Rahul ran to hug their big bro.

Virat- kiddo I'm swety baccha, chodo

Kuldeep- I missed you bhiya

Virat- me yahi tho tha?

Mahi- cheeku?

Virat- mahi bhai kaal kya hum sab ne zyada piliya tha

Yuvi- ha kuch zyada hi piliya tha

Sakshi hugged virat, it was good to have him back and his confused face was worth it!

Everyone hugged virat confusing him even more

Virat- guys you are scaring me?

Dada- aree kuch nahi, after so many years you drank. Tho you were out of control, tho pagalo wali bohot sari harkat ki tune. They are just happy to have the normal you back.

Virat- kya mene sab ko bohot embarass kiya? Did i trouble you allot!

Mahi- never, you just made us meet a kiddo version of yourself

Virat- baccho ke samene kya kiya mene! How could I

Sachin- kaha na, you didn't do anything wrong

Yuvi- it was just a treat to watch a new version of our little kiddo

Anushka- app sab ne hame prank Kiya na! Wo baby kon tha?

Sakshi- ha vi and ro were Missing you both so chotu sa prank tha, wo baccha yaha ek tourist ka tha. Good that you both came

Virat smiled with a small confusion while the rest had a relaxed smile..
