Ajinkya's Pov

It has been one week since I got to know that Ro tried informing me about uncle's health and it's also one week to Ro telling me that I shouldn't feel guilty or blame myself for not being there for him , I still remember first time he called me that day late at night telling me " Ajju you should na stay away from Virat or we should do something about his overthinking disease which is spreading now-a-days at high speed and everyone is getting infected by it." saying this he laughed and when he didn't got any reaction from me he further added " I know Ajju you feel guilty but trust me you should not feel guilty or overthink about it , I don't have any hard feelings I swear and if you want to redeem yourself then you can make sure that team is not angry on me when they call me next time " saying this he did manage to make  me laugh at last and he still does try everyday to lessen my guilt. I know my sad and gloomy behaviour was not hidden from team and it only took virat a day to question my behaviour and  it was just the next day.

Flashback

Ind had won the last match of Odi series and finally team was happy about being back in Winning spirit. While everyone was in mood to  celebrate , but I couldn't stop thinking about all ' what if ' like what if I had received Ro's call that day then I would have known about uncle's health and I could have been for him or what if I had asked Rishabh why he came suddenly searching me then he might have told me about Ro's call. My mind was running in all directions when Virat came and tried pulling me towards teams celebration. I stayed there bit trying to mask my emotions but I couldn't stay there much  so I went to terrace so I can be alone for sometimes.

I was just staring out at sky when again my mind decided to remind me how a useless bestfriend I'm because when Ro needed me most , I was not there to support him and even when he was facing trouble with selectors he still kept quiet but made sure I was supporting Virat here when even he needed me . It breaks my heart to core knowing that my best friend, the one whom I call my brother from another mother, my soul brother was suffering so much , he was going through so much and here I was unaware of, I was not there for him. I was not there for him when he needed me the most.

Kesa dost Hu re Yaar mai, kassh me Jaan pata , that Ro was going through so much and he was fighting alone but never showed it in front of team nor I never paid any heed to it., How can I be so much ignorant regarding someone who has always been there for me whenever I needed him. I failed as a best friend.

Third persons pov :

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize that he had company. Untill that person decided to make his presence known and saying " Jinks you okay ? I have noticed something is bothering you. What happened Jinks "

Still in his daze Jinks turns and see the person and hug him saying " I'm bad brother Vi , I'm such a bad brother and bestfriend that when he needed me most I wasn't there."

Virat was confused , about whom Jinks is talking. So rubbing Jinks back he asked " Who needed you Jinks, what are you talking "

"Ro , he tried calling me to inform about uncle's health and I was busy in meeting with you and later I didn't even call him back  , he was alone going through everything" Jinks was rambling.

For first time Virat was clueless as to what he can say to Jinks . As he himself was going through rough patch with Ro. And now to see Jinks this broken was crushing his heart more.

And before he could say anything someone else spoke from behind saying " Bhaiya was right , Jinks Bhaiya you are still stuck there , you know Jinks Bhaiya you will make me lose my b'day gift."

(So any guess who this person might be )

Virat turn to see Jassi walking towards them with a small smile and he turns to see Jinks with confused expression  asking " what do you mean Jassi"

Sighing Jassi said " Bhaiya knew calling and texting that you shouldn't feel guilty wont work much so he told me to check on you and guess what he was right you are still blaming yourself for something which was out of your hands" Jassi keeps his hands on Jinks shoulder and Futher said " bhaiya don't worry we had Ro bhaiya's back  , I know it won't make you feel any better but still know that there were people in MI camp who were always there for bhaiya and everyone there knew that they can't fill in your place but they tried their best giving him strength and were always supporting him . And one more thing you can feel happy about  is that  he was never left alone."

" But but Jassi , It doesn't change anything , that I was not there when Ro needed me most , here I was thinking that he kept everything from us as he didn't feel we were that important but turns out we were at fault , we were  ignorant that we didn't see through his facade he put up in front of us." Jinks said this in his chocked voice.

Virat was standing there dumbfounded as he was just grasping all this information and whereas Jassi who was seeing Jinks this broken on this matter thought to himself " if Jinks Bhaiya is affected this much over this topic , what will happen if he came to know about bhaiya's health condition and that incident of Dubai...oooh god I don't know what will happen then .... Jass think positive and now is not the time to think about all that , jab pata chlega tabhi dekhte hai abhi ke liye let's help Jinks Bhaiya" and tried calming himself.

And he said " Jinks Bhaiya I know what you went through not knowing but let's leave it behind and look at positive side that uncle is fit and fine now and also beating yourself for something which we can't change now is waste of energy so let's think about present and  I think bhaiya has also asked you to do something right. So please do that and stop blaming yourself or I won't get my birthday gift as I have promised bhaiya that I'll make you feel better and if I fail then as punishment for breaking promise he was allowed to not give me any gift this time." Jassi was pouting by end.

Jinks shook it's head think " how Ro has played his master stroke by sending jassi ".

*Flashback end*

So that's how this past week went by with the duo of brothers checking on me (read nagging me) from time to time. And just like jassi said we can't change past so I started focusing on present and for that , I did the one thing Ro asked for and that was to make team understand him and not to dwell on past and make sure they weren't angry  anymore when he called them to wish luck for T20I series.

So all in all I was feeling less guilty now and I even stopped blaming myself thanks to  JassiRo the duo. And today I was so happy that we won the first game of T20I series and not just that it was also triple birthday celebration for Jassi, Jaddu and shrey. So whole atmosphere at hotel was cheerful and not to forget Ro's kiddo who's being jumping around since they returned back from ground trying to open my mouth so he can know what Ro had planned for him.

Just like Ro predicted jassi pulled his pouty puppy eyes which I had to ignored just like my bestfriend had drilled me since morning so saying quick " I'm sorry bacche , I can't spoil your bhaiya's surprise " I ran towards my room when I bumped in Virat.

" Sorry Vi , I didn't see you coming " I said genuinely.

" That's fine Jinks, now-a-days you are just lost in another world most of time " said Virat bit rudely and left from there.
(Ps you will know Virat's rude behaviour reason ahead)

Third person Pov

" What happened to him " wondered Jinks and before he can think much about it he saw jaddu dragging jassi towards shreys room.

Jinks took this opportunity and went in Jassi's room and set everything up as Ro had ask him and left for team celebration.

Jassi's pov :

I knew Bhaiya was planning something but what I couldn't find it out as Bhabhi didn't say anything nor Jinks Bhai slipped anything.

So here I'm on my way to room after all celebration with team. As I entered my room I was greeted by a cake and big projector in my room with some balloons. As i was busy  looking around , projector screen started  and there came video of Sammy's dancing then she started singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOOM BOOM in her baby voice.  Just then bhaiya's video came wishing me then Ritsy Bhabhi's video and then it started slideshow of photos with ICT , MI team and rest of our moment together and slide ended with picture of me, Harry and Bhaiya from MI's jersey launch.

(P.s - it may seem similar to my OS but I have may few changes according to this story )

As I was trying to overcome my surprise I received a video call from Ro bhaiya & Ritsy bhabs and on screen was Sammy and Ro Bhaiya was teaching Sammy something which she was trying to say it aloud as "Boom Boom love youuuuu.....misssss you" ( please imagine it in Sammy's baby voice)

Listening that I was awestruck , I couldn't say anything so Ro bhaiya said "You know Jassi Sammy may be my first born but you will always be my first kiddo and kiddo never think you are not important or anything and if I'm hiding something that means I'm just trying to protect you from getting hurt so always ask for valid explaination before getting angry "

I just nods my head knowing bhaiya was hinting to selector thing which he kept hidden. So finally gathering myself I said " I understand Bhaiya and don't worry next time I'll try asking you first before getting angry because I know if you hide something then it must be something which will hurt me so I'll Keep it in mind. And  bhaiya i love you so much miss you alot, please come soon and I miss you too my princess and Bhabhi too"
Saying this their call was disconnected.

Virat's POV :

As I was going towards my Room after all celebration I came across Hardik who was so much in his thoughts that he didn't even realize he was saying it aloud and things he was saying was " I know Jass was always his favourite and now toh even Sammy likes him more but what about me , does he loves jassi more than me ---"

Just hearing bit I knew he might have seen Ro's surprise in Jassi Room about which I heard Jinks talking with Shikhi. Knowing how  it feels for being side tracked by your Bestie I put my hand on Hardiks shoulder.

Hardik was caught off guard and said " Virat what happened ? Why are you giving me sad look"

Sighing I said " Hardik it's fine to feel left out and jealous but I'll suggest don't let it be big issue between you friends , solve it till you can or you will lose your Bestie just like me " last words were barely above whisper which Hardik couldn't listen.

" Don't worry Vi I'll sort it out and anyway I don't have any hard feelings towards Jassi for being Ro's first kiddo as I know bRo loves us equal but I don't know how I got jealous suddenly. " He yawned bit and Futher said " I'll see you tomorrow Virat I'm sleepy now, Good night".

" Wow Ro , even your jealous kiddo doesn't  leaves your side and then there's me your so called bestfriend or should I said Ex-bestfriend now . Ooh Virat don't start again, already your jealousy towards Ro and Jinks bond caused you to snap rudely at Jinks. Stop before it ruins more " Virat thought to himself remembering how he acted after knowing about RoJinks calls.

Flashback :

Virat after knowing that Ro tried telling Jinks and not even made one attempt to call him once was hurt. But he tried understanding that Ro might needed Jink's calm personal near him not his hyper tackless personality. But still that doesn't mean he wasn't hurt or angry hell he was more of sad and Jealous seeing Jinks and Ro's bond than being anything. He knew that they being together since their teenage years had to be reason of there strong bond and close family type relations.
But still seeing jinks this hurt and Ro giving all attention to make sure jinks was okay and top it off Ro even made his kiddo(Jassi) lookout for Jinks.

That sparked something inside his heart but he tried telling himself " that it's fine , he shouldn't feel jealous " but at last jealousy won when he heard Jinks on call with Ro when team gathered in Team room for party preparation.

He was so angry and when jinks bumped to him. He just let his anger reply before storming off to calm down.

*Flashback end *

So yes from now I'll keep my jealous at bay because I can't lose Jinks too when I feel I have already lost my Ro.
