That's what brothers do

Bonds that don't change

It was a very normal day at the NCA. Rahul got his morning coffee and stood outside his office watching the next generation of ICT practice when he heard two bickering voices coming towards him. That's his new normal. Sighing he turned around and it was the same two kids bickering over the same thing.

But Just for formality sake as their senior he asked, "What happened to these two?" to his son who looked resigned. "what do you think appa, same thing as before their typical runout appa!"

Sighing he cursed Rohirat for passing their genes to their sons. Even though Aru was a Xerox copy of him but when it came to Samar his inner Virat kohli came gushing out carrying forward their father's legacy.

Aru: Moi not my fault this Samar is too slow!
Samar: no partner this chipmunk didn't listen to my call and was in a hurry, so he got out!

Aru: I got out because of you, you sloth! Why can't you run fast?

Samar: not my fault you are deaf!

Aru: Moi! Sam is being mean to me.

Samar: Partner he started it!

Aru: no you started fighti...

Rah in a strict voice: chup both of you! One more word from either of you than you will have to deal with the consequences. Go pack your bags without a word your fathers will be here soon!

That shut their mouths both knowing how strict their Moi/ Partner was, his punishments were very famous in the academy. So, they ran to the dressing room pulling Reyhan along with them. On the other head Rah felt like banging his head somewhere as he dialled MB wanting to wail to someone about his older brothers' troublesome sons.

MB was constantly checking his phone waiting for it to ring and as expected it rang notifying him of an incoming video call by a certain Rahuliya brightening his face. Sakshi shook her head at her husband who had the same expressions every day when his phone rang.

Rah whiningly: Mahi Bhaiiiiiiii app un dono ka kuch karo un dono ne mera dimag kharab kar diya hai! Pehle unke baap the ab unke bethe unki runout aur jagde ki legacy puri kar rahe hai!

MB chuckling: good morning to you too Rahuliya!
Rah smiling sheepishly starting his usual rant: morning Bhai! How are you? How is bhabs and Zivu? Breakfast hogaya? Appne medicines leh liya? Apki...

MB: breathe Rah breathe! I'm ok and so is everyone else in the house, we just finished our breakfast and yes, I took my medicines. The flight is on time and yes will leave from here on time and we won't miss it so don't worry.

Rah pouting: I'm breathing bhai aur ab jaldi ajao warna I'll become insane here.

MB: when were you sane Rah? You forget that you are my Cheekus younger brother and insanity is hereditary in the family.

Rah whining: I've always been sane (innocent puppy face) Bhai one doubt, please clear, if insanity is hereditary in the family does that make you also insane as you are Cheeku bhais older brother and does that make dada also insane as he is your older brother?

Gulps seeing MB glare while Sakshi burst out laughing at Rah's question
MB: I'll answer this question when I get there tu rukh (looks at Sakshi) aur tumhe badi hassi ah rahi hai!

Sakshi controlling her laugh sits next to him: Hi Devarji! (looks at MB) and dare you scold my ladla. Mein hasu nahi toh aur kya karu he asked a very valid question you know. I always knew he is the smarter one in the group.

Rah: Hi my Bhabhi dearest! App aur danto inhe dekho bache ko pareshan kar rahe hai
Rah smiles at her sheepishly while MB glared at the bhabi devar duo

MB: oye tu konsa bacha hai tu you are now old enough to have grandkids and you how many ladla devars do you have madam? Daatna shuru hi nahi kiya vakil ajatha hai bachane ko!

Rah horrified face: I'm too young to have grand kids!
Sakshi: don't trouble my kid Mahi and if I sit to count it will take me all day to finish my list and we have a flight to catch!
Goes away muttering about packing

MB shaking his head at the drama: how is everything at the NCA kid?

Rah sighing: pucho mat bhai Aru broke 3 windows, Sam broke 1door and 4 lights, Rey smashed my office window and tore a banner (complains about the damages). Then this mini RohiRat I swear bhai they are worse than their fathers just need an excuse to fight and call each other names! I don't know how you dealt with them.

MB listens to Rah complains like every day and laughing at him when he whines about AruSam. This had been his routine ever since JB had fully handed over the NCA to Rah. He remembers when he got the first call whining about kids breaking things and how hard it is to handle everything here. He also remembers when he and Vi got the call from this kid saying he doesn't want to take over the NCA because he doesn't think he can fill his JB's shoes. It took more them hours to convince him to agree just like the time when they were convincing him to take over the ICT from his bhaiya.

This grand kiddo of his always came to him and his Cheeku when he had to take big decisions. He couldn't help but think about how all his kiddos have turned out, from being wild, crazy and careless kids to sensible, strict, mature, caring and still crazy seniors even though they don't show it to their juniors they are still very crazy. Many things changed over the years, but one thing didn't change was the love and care that surrounded their relationships. They are still as possessive for each other, yes Ro is still jealous of AB and his Cheeku of Polly. They all stood next to each other through all the ups and downs of life, even though they are all divided by distance but they are still united, stronger than ever.

Shaking his head, he went to get dressed for his flight knowing his kiddos and grand kiddos will call him every minute wanting to know his location. Soon he landed to Banglore and was greeted by bunch of toddlers who were waiting for him excitedly.

ICT: Mahi Bhai!!!

MB: one at a time I'm not as young as I used to be to manage your bandargiri!

But when did the ICT stopped their bandargiri all of them jumped on him hugging him ranting about random things waht sounded like noise to MB not understanding anything they were saying. Pulling away it was the same scene from years ago Rohirat complaining and whining about each other, Harry bragging about something he did, Jaddu telling him about his new horse, Rah whining about his brothers, in short it still felt the same way he did when he played with his kiddos who are now grownup men with kids and kiddos of their own.

He looks at them thinking how far they have come and the changes that came along with it. But one thing that didn't change was their bond which grew stronger and deeper over time.
