India v/s SA 3 test series, 3rd test match. But it wasn't the match that is giving headache to Virat. Indian bowlers have already done there job and Rohit and Mayank were going pretty well and the match was very much in India's favour. The actual problem was with selectors, who were getting on Virat's nerves. They have there own set of theories regarding the team for Australia tour which were extremely stupid and ridiculous according to Virat. 

"How do they expect us to win without even giving the team which I ask for? How can they select people based on public opinion or hype. No...I'm not going to let them have there way this time." Virat thought sitting in the dugout padded up. Virat's thoughts broke by cheers of the dressing room as Rohit reached his 50 with a 'Rohit like six'(timed so well that only Rohit can play that, no one else). Virat clapped and went inside the dressing room to get himself a book, at least reading keeps his mind off things."

Match ended as expected. Currently, Virat was standing with Jassi who was waiting to collect his man of the series as Rohit went on to collect man of the match.

"First of all Congrats Rohit. That was a wonderful knock." Harsha Bogle greeted in post-match presentation. Rohit smiled in response.

"You are of course known as Hit-man but you are also known as Gift-man. So your century today is it the gift for MSD justifying your title." Harsha said smiling. 

"Well, Technically no... because his Birthday was yesterday but then we were fielding yesterday not batting, so I won't mind if you even if you add it to my name," Rohit replied after a little laughter. Then the conversation turned into a professional one.

Virat eyes widened as he heard their conversation. "What's today's date?" Virat asked hurriedly turning towards Jassi.

"8th July. Why?" Jassi answered in a confused tone. 

"Holy Shit" Virat muttered as he covered his face in both the hands.

"What happened?" Jassi asked concerned, not understanding the reason behind Virat'smood change.

"Nothing," Virat said composing himself not wanting to make any show in front of cameras.

As soon as Rohit entered the dressing room Virat stood in front of him giving the death glare.  

"What did I do now?" Rohit asked little taken aback 

"Why the hell didn't you remind me?" Virat barked fuming.

"Reminding and Rohit? Your question itself is wrong, Captain." Hardik said as he casually rested his hand on Rohit's shoulder earning a dead glare from both Virat and Rohit. Bhuvi dragged Hardik away in-time saving him from their warmth.

"Why didnt you remind me that it was Mahi Bhai's birthday yesterday?" Virat repeated fuming.

"What? Did you forget Mahi Bhai's birthday? You  mean to say you didnt even wish him?" Rohit voiced confused disbelieving tone. The entire team was shocked too.

"Ya..." Virat said in a guilty sad voice looking downwards little embarrassed

"Now you can't be shout at me for forgetting stuff," Rohit said delightedly.

"What? Don't even compare," Virat said in disgust. "And it is your fault too." He added angrily.

 "What? How will I know that you forgot?" Rohit asked logically.

"You should have noticed or should have just randomly told me," Virat snapped in anger

"You do stupid things and blame me. You always do that." rohit retorted.

"Guys...Guys stop it."Jinks said being the peacemaker as usual.

"But he is blaming me for reason at all." Complained Rohit against the injustice done to him.

"Shut up Ro and Virat you don't start now." He declared sternly.

"In case both of you forget we planned to go to Ranchi today and have a flight to catch in 2 hours," Jinks stated. "Virat, you better think of something to make it up to Bhai and Ro, if you are late for any reason then we are gonna leave without you."

Rohit and Virat decided to stay silent not wanting to test Jinks patience levels.  

"You do remember that we planned to go to Ranchi, Right?"Rohit asked Virat as they were on bus moving to a hotel.

"Of course I do. I don't have short term memory loss. Its just...the date slipped out of my mind." Virat said feeling offended.

Of course, he does remember there plan. They were actually hoping that match completes in 4 days so that they can just drop at MS's place on his birthday itself but SA decided to give to show little resistance in that particular match they wanted to finish soon.

"You wouldn't have forgotten if you have agreed to me when I said we will gift him together but it's ok, people do forget things sometimes." Rohit pointed out remembering all the work he had to do preparing the gift. If they team up he knows that Virat would have done the major part but Virat refused as they had a silly fight that day too.

"First of all, You don't remind me and now you dare say all this." Virat snapped still in a grumpy mood. 

"Why should I remind you?" Rohit snapped back. Here he is being nice and Virat is snapping at him.

"For the same reason, I keep reminding you every goddamn thing you forget," Virat said faking a very patient look.

"You are supposed to do that and I don't," Rohit said in a matter of fact tone.

"Why so?" Virat challenged.

"Because I'm Rohit and you are Virat," Rohit stated as if he if is the most obvious thing in the world. Before Virat could response bus halted in the hotel lobby and Jinks&Bhuvi dragged them out.

Virat was sitting the airport thinking ideas to make it up with Mahi Bhai when he heard Rohit calling him desperately.

"What did you do now?" He asked raising his eyebrows. Rohit was looking nervous and the entire team is glaring at him.

"Woh...woh...I forgot the gift I prepared for Mahi Bhai in the hotel only."Rohit confessed looking guilty. Virat shook his head signing tiredly.

"We will go get it." Rohit pleaded.

"We will miss the flight," Jaddu said before Virat could comment.

"We can't leave it here." Rohit snapped at Jaddu.

"But...we can ask someone to parcel it to Ranchi like we always do with all the things you forget," Shikar said logically. Jinks stood silently giving up on Rohit. It goes above his heads how Rohit managed to forget stuff even after he helped Rohit to pack everything the night before. They did keep the gift in suitcase night before but God knows why Rohit took it out again

"But what if they brake it," Rohit exclaimed.

"Why would they?" Virat asked rolling his eyes.

"It can break. My iPhone screen was broken once."Rohit explained.

"Vi...please. we will go get it." Rohit pleaded. Virat was already feeling little guilty for shouting at Rohit for no particular reason and generally, he would compensate his shoutings by being extra nice.

"I didn't sleep for hours to make that. We can't leave it please." Rohit tried again and this time Virat melted.

"Ok... You guys take our luggage. we will try to be on time but if we are late you guys leave don't wait. We will come for the next flight." Virat declared and Started dragging Rohit out without waiting for anyone's response.

"Thanks Vi..." Rohit said smiling as they were returning to the airport after collecting the gift.

"We missed the flight...Agg...This traffic." Virat growled in frustration.

"We already guessed that right. we will go by next flight." Rohit said trying to clam down Virat.

"You are impossible and absolutely hopeless." Virat snapped in frustration.

"I unpacked and repack the whole gift for you and forgot It in a hurry because I was already late. And  you...gratitude less moron shouting at me." Rohit snapped.

"Ya...Ya... I should be thankful to you for making us miss the flight." Virat said in a sarcastic tone.

"I'm not gonna share my gift with you, "Rohit shouted as an offended stubborn kid. Virat muttered something like 'no one asked you to' and the entire fight was silent with Rohit sleeping a little more due to his anger.

It was dark by the time Rohit and Virat entered Dhoni's farmhouse. Entire team was settled leisurely in the hall some on the sofa, some of the floor. Ziva Hardik and Rishab were settled on the floor comfortably with her toys and lots of clay spread over it.

"Chachu..."Ziva screamed as he ran towards the door noticing Rohirat standing there.

She hopped into Virat's arms and bent towards Rohit as soon as Virat lifted her up wanting to hug both a the same time.

"My Cheese Cake" Ro called out in a childish voice as he kissed Ziva's cheeks soundly making Virat roll his eyes. Ro has come up with that weird nickname because he loves cheesecake so much and for all the wrong reasons Ziva loves that name.

"Why were you both late?"Ziva demanded still clinging to both of them. 

"Ask Rohit," Virat said in a disgusted tone.

"You forgot something again or you overslept Ro Chachu?" Ziva asked laughing.

Rohit just shrugged as he winked at Ziva making typical Rohit like face making her laugh more.

"We will cut the cake now. Ziva wants cake." She said turning towards MS sitting on the sofa with Kul and Jassi clinging to him.

"No...15 minutes more baby. Ro, Vi... Go fresh up and come back in 15 minutes. If not she will start eating the cake before I cut it" MS warned smiling.

"Hi... Bhai" they noticing him for the first time after entering the house.

"Chachu's fast..." She said dragging both of them into there respective rooms.

"Chachu...I made a greeting card for papa. Papa loved it too." Ziva said as she sat on the bed while Virat took out his clothes.

"Wow... Ziva. My little tamatar(Hindi tomato) is shoo smart." Virat said to pull her cheeks. Virat gave her that nickname because so was so pink when she was born (and also because he had to give a nickname as Ro did it) 

"Don't call me that." Ziva sniffed rubbing her nose. Virat never understood why she hated that name while she loves it when Ro calls her 'Cheese Cake'

"What is your gift Chachu?" Ziva asked innocently. Virat guilt returned again.

"I didn't get one. I forgot." Virat said sadly.

"But Ro Chachu forgets not you," Ziva said thinking deeply.

"But this time I forgot," Virat said smiling at her innocence.

"But Chachu gifts make us happy. We have to give gifts on birthdays." Ziva wailed sadly while Virat sat there feeling bad again. "I should have at least shopped something before coming" he thought sadly.

"Chachu...Don't feel sad. Ziva got an idea." Ziva shouted in excitement.

"What baby?" Virat asked.

"Chachu fresh up fast I will be back in 2 minutes" She shouted as she ran out of the room. Virat signed and went into the bathroom.

As Virat came out of washroom he saw Ziva sitting in the middle of with her crayons and colour pencils spread all around.

"Chachu come fast...Make a greeting fast...you have to complete in 10 minutes." Ziva ordered.

Virat didn't like the idea completely but something is better than nothing so he gave in and started making a greeting. Ziva being a good teacher was trying her best to help Virat but he managed to annoy her too with his worst drawing skills. 

After 20 minutes a greeting with 'what was meant to be a rose' on top of it was ready. After instructing Virat to write message inside Ziva ran out to check if her Ro chachu was ready So that they can cut the yummy cake. After Ziva left another Idea struck Virat's brain. So he decided to add that to his greeting card which took another 15 minutes. Finally satisfied by his work Virat put his greeting in his coat pocket and went out.

Virat walked to MS Standing alone in the hall as the entire team was hovering near the dining table trying to arrange the cake. 

"Bhai..."Virat called slowly.

"Come, Cheeku..." MS said smiling. 

"Bhai... Woh...I forgot I just don't know how... I'm sorry...really really sorry." Virat whispered looking down while rubbing back his neck.

"I'm really really sorry Bhai," Virat whispered looking down to avoid any eye contact.

"Those selectors...they are hopeless. I was under so much stress and it just skipped out from my mind. I'm so sorry...I really am." Virat tried to explain quietly.

Virat looked up slowly as he didn't get any response from MS. 

"It's ok Cheeku. It happens at times. I understand." MS said in a comforting tone as Virat looked up. Even though it sounds silly he was a little sad and was waiting the whole day for Virat to call him like he usually does. But how can he not feel warm when his brother is here felling guilty saying Sorry for something which is not even a mistake.

"Abb tho wish kar" MS said smiling. Virat just jumped on to MS hugging him tightly.

"Happy Birthday Bhai." Virat wished smiling. "Come let's cut the cake... their arrangements will never end," Virat said as he dragged MS towards the cake.

Soon the ICT tradition of bathing with cake started. Everyone was drained in a cake. Poor Ziva was the only person who was concerned about wasting the yummy cake but there is nothing that little girl could actually do. So she settled on the middle of the table with a bowl of ice cream watching her Chachu's play with cake.

After bathing and cleaning all the cake entire team settled in MS's room with there gifts for which plans have been made from a month ago now. Yawning Ziva was sitting on Hardik's shoulders, even though it was past her sleeping time she was too excited to sleep. Jinks, Bhuvi, Harry, Rishab has come up with some new model bike. And bike lover in MS went bonkers over it. Jaddu came up with a jacket from Jamnagar which he claims can keep the person warm and cool according to necessity. MS loved the jacket even though he didnt believe in Jaddu's story. Kulcha gave a watch of his favourite brand.

Rohit's gift was a foldable photo frame which opens into a large 5 feet X 5 feet frame with so many pictures of small size pasted on it. in the Middle, there were comparatively large size pictures of WC 2007, WC 2011 and CT2013. Surrounding with several small photos of MS right from his debut with every person close to his heart. That one frame shared many stories, held so many memories. It was like his entire cricketing life was embedded in it.

Virat understood why Rohit said he hadn't slept for hours. Sticking so many tiny pics in that circular order is the most hectic thing to do. Virat's eyes fell on the bottom-right corner of the frame "With Love, From Your Ro and Cheeku." was written. It wasn't hard for Virat to recognise Rohit's handwriting. His swiftly turned towards his stupid best friend to find him already looking at him. Rohit gave an arrogant smirk to Virat but Virat's heart only filled with warmth with that sweet gesture. 

"Thanks, Cheeku, Ro. This is so..." MS trailed not finding the proper adjective.

MS was telling the stories behind the pictures of his earlier days cleverly avoiding all embarrassing stories. Ziva was soon bored by this storytelling section so she shouted: "Virat Chachu...give your gift soon."

"This is Virat's gift baby," MS said smiling.

"No Papa...Chachu forgot the..." She started to explain

"Ziva...Rishab is eating all your icecream." Rohit said cutting her off.

Ziva jumped down Hardik's shoulder and ran out wildly to kill Rishab for touching the Icecream.

Though MS gave a suspicious glance but didn't say anything.

"We will go out, Bhai," Hardik said out of nowhere.

"No...Its already midnight." MS put down the idea almost immediately.

"But young boys go out at midnight only." Hardik winced.

"Even though there are many 30+ people who can't be considered as young still..." Hardik started but stopped abruptly as he got glares from all directions.

"We can have a midnight bike ride," Jaddu suggested excitedly.

"No way...It's dangerous" MS stated.

"We can leave the kids behind." The overprotective elder brother in Virat stated making Kul, Jassi, Yuzi wail in response while Rishab was busy babysitting Ziva.

"The youngest of kids you are talking about is 22 and the legal age in India to drive is 18." Jinks comes in there defence.

"Still NO..." MS stated.

"You love your bikes more than us." Hardik wailed.

"I do," MS said smiling sweetly. But he had no option but give in as everyone showed there best wincing skills.

The moment he said ok...everyone ran out to get their bikes.

"Cheeku...Ek minute." MS called out before he could run out.

"Ha..Bhai" Virat asked in a hurry. He doesn't want Hardik or Jaddu take away his favourite bike.

"What was the gift Ziva was talking about?" MS asked raising his eyebrows.

Virat sat back sighing as he realised he has to give his gift and he can never do that in front of the team.

"I didn't understand what should I give so..." Virat said as he took out the greeting smiling sheepishly.

MS was amused to see the greeting. Though Ziva's drawing skills are much better than Virat's MS somehow found the card extremely cute.  As he open there were various coupons like cards with

"Virat will help Bhai wash all of the cars Mahi Bhai owns".

"Virat will help Bhai repair the bikes"

"Virat will polish the trophies"

"Virat will help mow the lawn"

"Virat will watch Ziva when Bhai bhabi wants to go out"

"Virat will help Bhai with organizing his paperwork"

"Virat will give Bhai a massage"

Etc...written on it.

"I'm staying here for 2 weeks and you can you all the cards anytime," Virat said...feeling little proud that he has come up such a wonderful idea.

It would be a lie if we say MS didn't feel touched. 

"Thank You Cheeku...This easily is one of the best birthday gifts." MS said smiling warmly.

"You like the idea of coupons so much?" Virat asked little confused clearly his drawing skills can't make it best.

"I like the idea of you being here for 2 weeks," MS said ruffling Virat's hair making Virat flash a wide happy grin.

"Btw Cheeku...try and stay away from drawing hereafter." MS teased they walked towards the bikes.

Later at night...when the cold wind was touching his face with the speed of his bike. Jaddu, Hardik Virat, Rishab were screaming at the top of there voices disturbing the peace of the night...MS realised this was his best birthday ever....
