Before Anushka could think of calling she received a call from Yuvi

Sonu- aoye tu pagal hogaya hai? Kaal raat se phone kar rahe hai ho kya gya hai ha?

Yuvi- tune kisi ne kidnap tho nahi Kiya na

Mahi- cheeku, beta I'm so sorry. Mene nahi bulaya tha Harry ko me

Anushka - bhiyas ek minute tho do reply karne keliye

Mahi- Anushka, tum! Thankgod, kyu phone nahi uta rahe the tum dono. Pata nahi kitna pareshan the hum. Call nahi tho message kar dete baccha

Anushka - bhiya mera phone Tut Gaya tha, service keliye deya hai

Yuvi- kya phone se cricket kelrahe the Kaya? Tuta kese phone tere?

Anushka was about to inform them about Virat's health when Virat took the phone from her.

Virat - sorry bhiya, uska phone mere wajah se Tut Gaya. I was playing a game me har Gaya tho I didn't realise ki wa mera phone nahi hai, mene gusse me usko Tod diya. Aur Anushka ko bhi gussa aya, we started running around, me pool me appne phone ke saath gir gaya. Dono ka phone karab tha bas aur koi baat nahi hai

Anushka looked at him with complete shock? Itna lamba choda story kab likha iss bandene? Deko baby appke papa na kisi di Bollywood ke writer ka kaam chenenge

Sakshi - pakka na cheeku koi baat tho nahi hai na

Virat - nahi Bhai aur koi baat nahi hai. Oh ha Happy Birthday mahi Bhai, appko bhagwan ji hamesha khush rakhe.
*In mind* chahe uske liye muje appse due kyu na rehena pade...

Mahi- thankyou cheeku

Anushka - oh right, me tho bhul hi gayi.! Happy Birthday mahi Bhai, app ko bhagwan ji aur jyada patience de in bandaro ko sambal ne ke liye

Mahi- deko ye hota hai wish mangna. Thankyou Anushka

Anushka - bubs wo gift bhiya ka?

Virat remembered ordering a vintage bike for Bhai from Germany. He wanted to gift it to him and see his excitement then hug the life out of him. But everything just changed in a drastic way that he couldn't even think in his wildest dream

By the time he was in his thoughts Anushka had got a group link and everyone present got to know the story of "why Virat couldn't answer his phone" from Priyanka bhabi.

Anushka - bubs were are you lost

Virat- no where nush, I'm right here.

Harry- vi bro I'm sorry, I was wa just

Virat- come on Harry, it's okay. Me kisi se naraz nahi hu. I'm fine

Mahi- really?

Virat - ji ji Bhai, sab ne appna apna gift dediya kya kaal raat ko

Rohit - ha Bhai Tera hi bacha hai. Aur Sharma ji apne pati ko bolo yaar kud bacche ka baap bane ki Umar me baccho jesa behave na kare

Sir appke liye kuch aya hai said mahi bhai's watchman. Virat smiled, so what if his Bhai doesn't want him in his life. His Bhai will always be special..

Mahi, yuvi, Sonu with their wife's went out to see what it was while Harry walked behind them with the tab so everyone could see.

Mahi- wow, this is terrific

Yuvi- ye cheeku ke alawa koi nahi desaktha.

Virat- happy birthday Bhai

Sakshi - cheeku yahi Dena tha tuje! Uff ek aur bike nahi nahi ek aur sothan

Virat immediately panicked

Virat- bhabi I'm so sorry, me aur nush last time jab Germany Gaye the hame ye accha laga, so mene Bhai ko ye gift kiya. I'm sorry Bhai me

Sakshi - cheeku kya hogaya baccha? Tu janta hai na me mazak kar Rahi thi. Bike bohot accha hai, koi dikkat nahi hai baccha

Mahi Bhai has noticed how Virat panicked. But didn't know why

Later they were talking about few things, it was juniors talking and seniors listing. But Virat was unusually quite.

Virat - accha Bhai log, I'll leave mera gym ka time hogaya. Bye, once again happy birthday Bhai..

Take care vi/cheeku/bhaiya came the voice before he took exit from the call.

Anushka brought breakfast to the couch

Anushka - good thing you didn't tell Bhai about your health. Warna bechare birthday ke din pareshan ho jate
Bubs, bubs

Virat - ha ha sahi hai bohot accha bana hai masala dosa

Anushka - bubs now you are scaring me, please bolo na what's wrong

Virat- I'm sorry Baby. Wo shayad iss liye ki esa kaam hota hai na ki Bhai ka birthday ho aur me nahi hu unke sath.

Anushka - don't worry hubby, next year hum teno honge Bhai ke birthday pe

Virat smiled, she was the light in his ugly dark tunnel.

They finished eating and Virat was doing the dishes.

Anushka sat in the kitchen slab looking at her man.

Finishing his work he stood infront of her as she hugged him close.

Virat- nush agar kabhi kisi waja se tum mujse naraz ho jao, ya mere se gussa hojao tho meko dho tappad mardena par kabhi mujse dur nahi jana please. I know I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to change myself and

Anushka - Virat!? First meko neche utaro

He helped her get down, she held his hand and took him to there room.

Anushka -  bubs kya huva hai, ha? Ye sab kya bole jarahe ho? I'm pregnant you remember, mood swings mera hona chahiye not your!? And me kyu jaungi kahi? India ka sabse hot Banda mera pati hai, ladkiya jiske liye line lagake ganto tak rehti hai sirf tumhar ek jhalak dekhne ke liye USS bande ko me 24/7 dekhti hu. Sabse important you have nothing to change in you husband, you are just so perfect. Kabhi kabhi me kud sochthi hu ki itna achha Banda kese Mila muje. Aur khabar mere pati ko change kar ne ki koshish ke tho, he is the most wonderful person I have ever met in my life. Agge se ye sab bakwas Kiya na seriously dho tappad padega

She ended sobbing with tears

Virat- okay, I'm so sorry baba. Meri galti hai. I promise kabhi esa nahi bolunga me teek hai. I'm sorry.. I love you

Anushka: I love you

Virat hugged her, atleast she'll not hate him. He was so scared that just like his Bhai's and bhabhi's what if Anushka also hate him?! But he now knew she would never....

Days passed quickly and IPL was almost confirmed with lots and lots of rules and regulations. In all these days Virat never called Bhai himself, he answered the call of they did. Spoke when spoken to, they asked him multiple times of something was wrong. They tried to find out every possible way but all Virat said was, I'm fine, really fine..

So how's Bhai gonna find out what's happening with his cheeks!

Lot's of love
Take care
Parimala
