Yashu is new in the team though he has become very important part of it in very short span of time. The team also used to take care of him. He was actually very happy to be welcomed so warmly even by the seniors too.

He was comfortable with Rohit, Shubhi, Rishu, Siri, Jassi, Ash, Jaddu, Sarfraz, Dev and Dhruv but he was still quite scared from Virat and Rahul but he got close to Virat during T20 World Cup and now it was only Rahul with whom he was not that much comfortable even though they have played together and are part of the same dressing room. They were cordial and Rahul being Rahul.. him staying more with Ash, Shubhi, Virat, Rohit, Jaddu, Jassi have given him impression that he (Yashu) was still not part of his (Rahul's) group of friends. But when it was confirmed that Rohit was not gonna play the first test against Australia and Yashu and Rahul will open.. Yashu was so nervous. Though during practice it was Rahul who used to come to him and they used to talk a lot about how to go with the innings and all but still it was his first match in Australia so it was anyways very much overwhelming for him.

And on top of that when Yashu got out on duck, he was sure that he would not be able to bat here but when in the second innings started, he was so different.. Rahul was guiding him with every ball.. He was there with him for every ball.. He was helping him.. motivating him.. even appreciating him .. everything.. and their partnership and then the hug after century.. combining them all made Yashu closer to Rahul that he was not stopping from appreciating Rahul everywhere. He has found an elder brother in him.

Right now the juniors like Shubhi, Sarfaraz, Yashu, Rishu, Nitish, Dhruv, Harshit, Dev were sitting together and were chilling out. Yashu was once again praising Rahul. And rest all admired his admiration for him whereas Dev, Rishu, Shubhi were happy that Rahul got the admiration he deserves.

Harshit: Waise pata hai Vi Bhai ne na mujhe yeh watch gift ki

Nitish: Aur mujhe unhone yeh limited edition Snickers

Yashu: Are woh to tum dono ka debut hua na abhi iss liye.

Dhruv: Haan woh sab ko kuchh na kuchh dete rehte hai

Yashu who was ever so calm started getting jealousy trait of ICT. Though he tried to shrug off the feeling

Yashu (boasting): Mujhe to world cup ke time hi unhone apna bat gift kiya tha

Dev: Lucky you Yashu.. you got the bat

Yashu smiled

Shubhi and Rishu ever so musketeers joined the fun with their mischievous smirks

Shubhi & Rishu: Aur hume to last Australia tour pe hi mil gaye the gifts

Shubhi: See.. maine jo watch pehni hai yeh unhone hi to di thi

Rishu: Aur mera yeh bracelet unka hi to diya hua hai.

Sarfraz: Yeh to hai.. Vi Bhai hum sab ka bahut achchhe se khayal rakhte hai. Hamare Vi Bhai aur hum unke kiddos

Shubhi: Haan aur woh Mahi Bhai ke kiddo

All chuckled

Yashu: So to hai haan. ICT me yeh generations se chal raha hai.

Rest all agreed. Yashu suddenly remembered Rahul

Yashu: But you know.. I can see a kid in almost everyone even Ash Bhai too lekin Rah bhaiya.. unke alawa na baki sab kiddos hai seniors ke

Shubhi, Rishu, Dev and Sarfraz looked at each other and laughed out loud hearing this. Yashu and rest all were confused but most confused was Yashu as now a days he has become closer to his Rah Bhaiya and his teammates were laughing something he said on HIS RAH BHAIYA was not sort of acceptable. Shubhi noticed Yashu's offended face. He composed himself

Shubhi: Yashu.. chill.. we are not joking about Rah bhai.

Yashu: To kya kar rahe ho?

He made a face.

Shubhi: Are tumne abhi Rah bhai ka RAHULIYA and KIDDOLIYA Avtar nahi dekha na iss liye aisa bol rahe ho. Ek baar unko dekho as Kiddoliya phir pata chalega.

Yashu (confused): Rahuliya?? Kiddoliya??

Dev: Yup..

Rishu: Are don't worry. Samaj jaoge kisi din.

Yashu felt strange and so as others but they all shrugged off and continued with their usual banters.

As soon as they reached hotel, they saw their seniors were busy in their own banter. Yashu went to look for Rahul who was talking to Athiya over call and rest all were teasing them making no stone unturned.

Yashu: Are kitna chidaoge aap log. Chhodo na. Unko baat to karne do

Virat looked at him with raised eyebrows

Virat: That's not done Yashu. Ek partnership kya ho gayi Rah ke sath tumne to party hi badal di

All chuckled.

Rahul: Stop getting jealous Virat

Virat stuck his tongue at him making Rahul shook his head at his antics.

Yashu was talking to Shubhi in low voice

Yashu: Yeh dekho. Kaha se lagte hai Rah bhai chhote bhai

Shubhi: Have patience. Kisi na kisi din to tum bhi dekhoge unka woh roop

Rahul disconnected the call.

Ash: By the way how is she and baby doing? All well?

Rahul: Yup. All good

Virat: Great.. I can't wait to meet my God Child

Rahul chuckled but the raw excitement was visible in his eyes and all the seniors could see and feel it and why not they all are fathers and they know this feeling.

Rest of the youngsters have even forgotten about the topic of weird names of Rahul but Yashu has remembered it. He was keenly observing Rahul who was behaving maturely only.

The team travelled to Adelaide but Rahul caught up in weather. He was feeling the incoming cold as his throat and his head were aching. And he was becoming cranky with each passing second.

It was dinner time and all were there in dining area except Rahul. He came there walking quite slowly and sat on his seat with a pout.

RohiRat, Ash, Jaddu and Jassi looked at him.

Virat was sitting beside him only.

Virat: Kya hua Rahuliya?

Yashu and Juniors looked at him with almost startled expression. Shubhi signed them to look at Virat and Rahul.

Rahul pouted more and sniffed. And then Scowled

Virat: Awwlie my Scowliya has got cold.

Rahul (whining): Bhaiyaaaaa...

Rahul kept his head on Virat's shoulder and sniffed again. Virat rubbed his arm.

Rahul: Bhukh lagi hai

Rohit (teasing): Haan to kha lo khana

Rahul glared at him with a huge pout and sniffed again making others chuckled as he was looking too cute.

Ash: I am feeling weird in saying this but Rah.. with your this face you are looking like woh bolte hai na Aaj kal social media pe something like Cutie patooti.. woh lag rahe ho

This made others broke into fit of laughter. But Virat controlled his laughter and caressed Rahul's hair gaining his attention.

Virat: Bhukh lagi hai na. Main khila deta hoon okay. Calm down Rahuliya

Rahul (sniffing): Don't call me that Bhaiya

The juniors were surprised seeing Rahul behaving like that. Shubhi said in low voice.

Shubhi: Maine bola tha na Rahuliya is different. Ab dekho.

The dinner arrived. Rahul opened his mouth.

Rahul: Aaaaaaaa

Virat chuckled and made him have a morsel.

Dhruv: Yeh Rah bhai hi hai na?

Jassi: Nope.. he is Vi bhai's Rahuliya.. His Kiddoliya

Rahul sneezed.

Virat: Bless you kiddo. Now open your mouth

Virat fed him with another morsel.

Rahul: Bas ho gaya

Virat: Rah.. kya ho gaya? Mushkil se do niwale khaye hai

Rohit: Exactly.. aise kaise ho gaya?

Rahul (whining): Mujhe nahi khana

Virat instantly checked Rahul's forehead and neck with back of his hand.

Virat: Sh*t Rah.. You caught fever

Rahul (with pout): I didn't invite it.

Jaddu: Veer.. all the best man.. Handle your first baby now

Rahul (whining): I am not a baby J..

Virat: Of course.. You are my sweet bachcha.

Rahul smiled widely hearing this.

Virat coaxed him to eat a Roti and some dal rice. He then took Rahul to his own room and made him sit on the bed. He then made him have the medicine for the cold and fever and sat beside him..

The juniors have followed them as of course they were worried too for Rahul.

Nitish: He will fine hai na?

Rahul: Are I am fine Tish. It's just a minor fever which I didn't invite but yeah.. you know

Nitish: I know I guess

He said confusingly

Rohit chuckled at his reaction.

Rohit: Don't worry. He will be fine. Just a bit under weather

Rahul (shouting): Bhaiyaaaa...

Virat: Haan baba I am here only Rahuliya

Rahul (softly & cutely): Headache

Virat: Come I'll massage your head you will feel better.

Rahul kept his head in Virat's lap. Virat started massaging his forehead. Rohit covered him properly with blanket. Soon Rahul fell asleep but Virat was still massaging his forehead and was occasionally caressing his hair and massaging his hands and shoulders too.

Yashu: Yeh Rah bhai hi hai yakin nahi hota.. I mean he behaves so much maturely with everyone

Virat: He is mature but that doesn't mean he cannot behave like a kid specially when his Bhaiya is here. He is an elder brother for you all but for me.. He was, is and will always be My Rahuliya.. My Kiddoliya

Virat kissed on Rahul's forehead.

Rahul (in sleep): I love you Bhaiya

Saying so he snuggled more towards Virat who held him protectively and again kissed on his forehead.

Virat: Bhaiya loves you too Rahuliya. But for now sleep okay bachcha.

Ash: Guys go and have some rest. He is in best hands.

Rest all left from there leaving Virat and Rahul alone but Yashu came back in few minutes.

Yashu: Can I stay here?

Virat: Of course Yashu. Go sleep at that side.

Yashu nodded in yes and went to other side of the bed and slept. He woke up after a while as his subconscious mind was worried for Rahul. And he was also thinking to check his fever. He opened his eyes and saw Virat was still awake and was checking Rahul's fever.

Yashu: Kitna hai?

Virat: Are tum soye nahi?

Yashu: Just woke up to check on Rah bhai

Virat: Abhi itna nahi hai. 100 hai bas.

Yashu nodded in yes

Yashu: Aap so jao main jagta hoon

Virat: Nahi Yashu. Rah ko pata chala na ki main nahi hoon aas paas to uth jayega

Yashu: Haan to aap yahi so jao. Main massage kar deta hoon na

Virat: Woh uth jayega Yashu. And he would be cranky. Kuchh ulta sidha bol Diya na you would get hurt. Let him rest abhi. And don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Aur waise bhi jab tak iska fever puri tarah nahi utrega mujhe neend nahi ayegi

Yashu nodded in yes and slept. He once again woke up around 2 AM and found Virat was still awake and was massaging Rahul's hands and shoulders and sometimes legs too.

As it was late, this time he was adamant on making Virat sleep.

Yashu: Vi Bhai.. aap so jao main dhyan rakhta hoon Inka. And I am not gonna listen anything.

Virat: Yeh uth jayega. Harry and Jassi already try karke mat kha chuke hai

Yashu: Aisa kuchh nahi hoga. Aap Leto chalo. You need rest too na.

Saying so he came to Virat's side and made him lye down on the bed. He then went to other side and started massaging Rahul's forehead.

Yashu: Dekha nahi neend khuli na inki.

Virat just shook his head at the youngster's antics as he knew the life of his happiness is too short. And indeed his happiness was short lived as Rahul started calling for Virat in sleep

Rahul (whining & shouting): Bhaiyaaaaa..

Yashu got startled and Virat chuckled. He then started massaging Rahul's forehead.

Virat: Haan bachcha Bhaiya is here only. Sleep My Kiddoliya

Virat looked at Yashu who was still startled.

Virat: Ho gayi tasalli??

Yashu: Lekin yeh to neend me hai.. Neend me kaise pehchan liya?

Virat: Because he can feel and recognise my presence and my touch even in his sleep . Yashu jo rishte Dil se jude hote hai na unme yeh sab ho hi jata. Tum bhi samaj jaoge.

Yashu Just nodded in yes not knowing what he should do or say.

Virat: Now sleep.

Yashu wished him Good night and slept.

Virat slept in early morning hugging Rahul tightly. Yashu woke up and saw them and a smile came on his face. He went to his room and freshen up. He then met the youngsters and shared whatever he witnessed.

Rishu: So Vi Bhai and His Kiddoliya coded

Rest all chuckled hearing his comment. They went for the breakfast. They were waiting for the food to get served when Virat came there with Rahul who was glaring at him.

Rahul: B-Ro..

Rohit controlled his chuckle and looked at him

Rahul: Aaj no coffee for your bestie.

Rohit: Okay

Virat: What okay? Waiter.. one cof..

Rahul glared at him to which he shut his mouth immediately.

The juniors were surprised.

Virat was sitting with a huge pout.

Rahul: Virat.. stop behaving like a kid.

Virat made a face at him to which Rahul rolled his eyes.

Yashu: Rah bhai.. Vi Bhai ne apka kitna achchhe se khayal rakha kal. Aap aise kyu bol rahe ho?

Rahul: Exactly Yashu. Kisne bola tha puri rat jagne ko? He too is a human na. Isko bhi to rest chahiye

Yashu: Lekin aap bhi to neend me inko hi dhundhte ho jab beemar hote ho.

Rahul's face flushed instantly.

Virat: Exactly my point. Great work Yashuliya

Yashu was shocked and was looking at him with wide eyes

Yashu (shocked): Yashuliya???

Virat: Yeah.

Yashu (almost shouting): Noooo...

All laughed at his reaction.

Rahul: Seriously Virat. You should take care of yourself na. Aaj neend nahi hui na puri tumhari. And it was minor cold baba

Virat: Shut up Rahuliya. It was not just cold.. you had fever too and it took hours to go completely even though you had medicine.

Rahul: Are but..

Virat: What would you do if you were at my place?

Rahul: Fine..

Virat: Good boy Rahuliya

Rahul (scowling): Don't call me that

Virat: Now don't be Scowliya

Rahul: Viraaaat...

Virat chuckled

Virat: I'll take rest today and you too are going to do the same. There is no room for any negotiation or arguments. Understand Rahuliya?

Rahul: Yes sir..

He said while rolling his eyes

Virat: Good boy

Shubhi: Ab pata chala Rah bhai aur Vi Bhai ek dusare ke liye kya hai?

Yashu nodded in yes

Yashu: It's soo cute and overwhelming relation. Kabhi socha nahi tha ki Rah bhai bhi bachche ban sakte hai..

Shubhi: Well it's exclusively for Vi bhai. Vi Bhai and His Rahuliya.. His Kiddoliya
