Virat carried his daughter up as she was cranky and his wife was sleeping.

Virat- kya huva mera baccha why you crying? Papa's princess na shh.

He said patting his lil ones back walking around. His daughter was just like him, she wanted attention all the while.

While coming down he stood in front of their wedding photo perfectly framed. They just looked so perfectly, just like she was made to fit in his arms. She was his blessing, she just was his charm.

The day he met her for the ad shoot was may be a real blessing of his life.

He smiled seeing her smile

He really didn't remember what they were smiling about. But that smile, he could vow to keep that smile intact all his life.

But a tear rolled down his eyes. The smile he wants to protect, but the irony was that he was the reason for her tears.

Not directly maybe but all his failures were directed towards her. When will people understand that even cricketers were humans, they are not god's to be invincible. They were humans, they had bad bads, bad sessions. Not all day sun shines right, there are days when dark clouds lurk.

But she was a sparkling rainbow to his dark clouds.

She never complains about what all she has to go through just because she was Virat Kohli's wife!

Both of them came from middle class families, made it in their respective careers, worked hard, got to a certain stage. 

Nush In hindsight, when we look into our lives, they were going at the same pace but in totally different worlds. The timelines of my debut is 2008, the timeline starting of your first film, shooting for it was 2008 August. 

We are so similar na nush, so similar.

His daughter was looking at him when he looked extremely lost. She was like "papa give me some attention, you can't ignore me".

Virat noticed a gaze he saw his daughter looking at him with her doe shaped eyes. The little one was capable of capturing anyone's heart with just a sight . He could bet she was as beautiful as his wife and why not he got all gorgeous women around, be it his mom, his sister, his bhabi or his wife not to forget now his daughter too. 

Virat- accha suno, I'll tell you how me and your momma got married.

She nods her head excited as if she was understanding her dad.

Thinking about how the wedding happened, Virat confessed that everything was organised by Anushka as he was in the middle of a series. She figured the location and she mentioned pretty categorically that we had to keep it confidential. He told her how there were just 42 people at the wedding, just close friends and family and how top level security setup was in place. A punjabi munda and just 42 guests,

! See we had to work so hard..

Then we had a celebration for her industry friends and for my cricketer friends, in short your chachu and bade papa. Once, these functions were done, pata hai nani aur dadi ne kaha ki accha hi huva shaddi Italy me huva warna ye shadi dang se kabhi hota hi nahi!

Virat- appke sare chachu  mujse kitna gussa ho gaye the kyu ki wo appki papa ki shaddi me nahi the.

Aur appke ro chachu tho itna gussa hogaye the ki mujse kitne dino tak baat hi nahi ki

Vamika giggled seeing her papa pout.

Virat- appko badi hassi arahi hai ha

She nuzzled into his neck. He held her tight yet gently running his hands on her head..

Virat remembered the way people started trolling anushka.

He still remembers how he felt when she silently wiped her tears and faked a smile to him. Her fake smile burnt his heart..

Shame on those people who have been having a go at Anushka for the longest time and connecting every negative thing to her. Shame on those people calling themselves educated. Shame on blaming and making fun of her when she has no control over what i do with my sport. If anything she has only motivated and given me more positivity. This was a long time coming. Shame on these people that hide and take a dig. And I don't need any respect for this post. Have some compassion and respect her. Think of how your sister or girlfriend or wife would feel if someone trolled them and very conveniently rubbished them in public.

He just posted his raw feelings that day. He just wished society could someday turn good to women as well, someday!

Even after their wedding took place and she was his wife , people still went behind her for his failures.

Now they had enough of it and they didn't give a damn about it. 

He was never confident about his capabilities in maintaining a relationship.

He was always unsure about if he'll ever be a good husband. 

But Anushka reassured him that he was the best husband any wife could ask for. 

When she told him that he was going to be a father he went blank for a while. Like completely blank.

A little life was coming into their life, he was going to be a father. 

He just hugged Anushka and cried like a child.

Slowly each passing day he was excited and nervous. What if he is not a good parent, what if his baby doesn't like him! What if his beard pricks her? What if his rough hands scratch her soft skin? Mahi bhai, Rohit and Jinks laughed hearing him but assured him that "once you get your child in your hands you'll automatically do whatever is best for him/her".

Anushka was no less, she was equally worried and worked up. But she never showed it.

Anushka was scared if she could be a good mother or not!? Well she gotta be kidding right! Silly women didn't know whatever she did, she would turn out to be the best.

Anushka who woke up not finding her life lines. She just came down to see her husband and her daughter in front of their wedding pic.

She knew her husband might be going back in memory lane. 

Anushka pov

People always see the on-ground hyperactive, aggressive Virat Kohli. The one I see every day is different. I know the real him. A side that’s only known to me, a new story every day, just for me.. I feel so lucky being Wife of Virat Kohli, the Virat whom the world wants. But he is and will always be mine .

That silly man was scared that he wouldn't be a good husband.. He finds the perfect balance of passion and calm. He’s funny, he’s caring, there are so many layers to his passion. Many times she failed to understand how he was so perfect.

She never dreamt about prince charming to protect her, she didn't need any protection. She was a self made independent woman.

All she wanted was someone who was there with her in times of her need. Just that someone would open her water bottle when she is struggling with it🤣, or get down coffee if she can't reach it.. Someone who would be loyal to her about everything. Someone who wouldn't want to change her in any way, someone who can respect her, her hard work and her dreams.

And getting virat as her life partner, she had literally found everything she wanted.

And their daughter, she was their world. It was like they were kids till the last day and suddenly grew up when she entered their lives.

She still remembers the pain she had gone through when it was time for her delivery. But virat was there with her every second, he had to face such backlash when he decided to stay with her for their baby's arrival! Just because he was virat kohli didn't he have the right to be with his wife on the birth of his first child!?

And then came their love to the world, their world, the life they gave birth to, the baby they gave life to. Taking her in her arms she saw a mini version of her husband. And surprisingly he saw a mini anushka in vami.. 

So they jointly took a decision to keep their daughter out of media sight and they were proud about their decision. Now they'll raise their daughter to be a wonderful and independent girl. Whatever she became in the future was her choice. They will never burden her to do anything, they'll protect her but they'll also teach her to stand for herself. But all this still had time, now she just wanted to spend her time with her husband and her daughter.

She came down and back hugged her handsome hubby.

Anushka- kya soch rahe ho bubs

Virat- how lucky I'm to have you both in my life

Anushka- let's just say our feelings and fate in mutual bubs

Vamika cooed, showing her happiness to have them as her parents too.

This is the journey of my favourite couple to  parents happened…

Happy Birthday Anushka Sharma...

This is the one shot I had written for the mad fam challenge.

As I hadn't posted it anywhere yet, thought today was perfect to update.

Take care
Lots of love
Parimala
