Time Travel

3

Theories of what could have possibly happened to me:

1) I've  been in coma since 2010 and woke up now

But that doesn't explain my wife, daughter, Rohit Sharma being my bestie and all the pictures of cricket on my computer.

And even if this happens, why will my family hide it from me?

So No, this is ruled out.

2) Maybe a memory loss

This can be quite possible but how did I lose it?

Did my wife hit me on my head last night?

But there's no blood. And she doesn't look like she's hates me.

Or what if I did this to myself? And wrote the letter prior to it.

3) What if I'm a part of some scientific experiment?

Doesn't look that appealing but there can be a chance right.

So yes, maybe my wife and bestfriend sold me to some scientist for money.

But I'm so freaking rich and so are they why would they do it?

But there is a possibility.

4) Did I time travel by any chance?

This is impossible, time travels happen only in films.

But what about the letter from 2022 Virat?

No, it might have been planted by someone.

This is also ruled out cause I don't live in the movies.

So maybe I lost my memory or they are using me as a lab rat for some science experiment.

'Vi, can you please open the door.' someone knocked the door softly.

This must be my wife.

I quickly shut down the computer and hid the letters, gift and my theory paper and walked to the door to open it.

'Sorry for distrubing your sleep. I had to change.' she said as she closed the blinds.

'No it's fine.' I went back to the bed.

'The food is kept on the dining table. I'm leaving for shoot while they have some event to attend. So take care of the babies.' her voice made me push my blanket down and look at her.

SHE WAS CHANGING HER CLOTHES AS IF I DON'T EXIST IN THE ROOM!?

I immediately pulled up the sheets to cover my eyes.

What's wrong with this woman?

'Did you hear me?' she asked.

'Yes, I did.' I answered, still buried under the sheets.

'Bubs which one should I wear?' she asked.

'Um anything that you feel like' I replied uncertainly.

'Didn't you like choosing my outfits? What's wrong today?' she asked.

She came to me and pulled the blanket down facing me.

Virat look away, she's a stranger!

But wasn't I married to her and we have a kid together?

But you don't remember anything so LOOK AWAY!

'What's wrong Vi? Why aren't you maintaining any eye contact?' she frowned.

'Nothing of that sort. And I think the jumpsuit is better.' I answered and that was the only way to end this.

'Are you alright?' she asked checking my forehead.

'Ofcourse I am.'

No I'm not. But it can't be identified by just checking my forehead!

'Ok its time for me to leave. I'll talk to you after coming back home. Bye bubs.' she planted a kiss on my cheeks and got back to dressing while I covered my face with the blanket again.

'Is he up?' I heard Ro entering the room a while later.

'He's behaving differently. Maybe you should talk to him if its about cricket. He's not opening up to me so I guess it's about the game. So talk to him. I gotta run now.'

I heard the door shut and peeped to see if they left but Ro was walking towards the bed.

OMG NO I'M ALONE ON THE BED AND HE'S COMING TO ME, I'M NOT SAFE HERE.

I jumped out of the bed and rushed to the washroom to save myself from him.

'Vi what's wrong?' he asked banging the door.

'Nothing. I'm just using the washroom.'

'Ok, I'm sleeping, you come and join me.' he said.

IS HE REFERRING TO THAT?

YUCK, NO I DONT WANT TO

'Vi?'

'Yeah sure.'

What should I do?

I paced anxiously inside the washroom trying to come up with excuses to reject his offer.

'Are you by any chance suffering with diarrhoea?' his voice came from the other side.

'No I'm not.'

'Then how long will you stay inside the washroom?'

'I'll be out in a while.'

Right, I'll run outside the room to wherever Ritika is. She'll be my guard.

Alright, 3... 2....1... RUN

'Why are you running?' he questioned looking at me and I ignored him and made way out of the room.

'That's my lipstick, not a crayon.' Rits bellowed as she snatched the lipstick from the kid who began crying immediately.

'No Sammy I'm not gonna let you colour with a lipstick even if you cry.  There are crayons for a reason. Go get your crayons from your room.' she ordered in stern yet warm tone.

Her Room? Isn't this my house?

'Bad girl ' The baby in Rits arms said as she tried loosing rits's grip around her.

'No cry.' she forwarded her arm as far as she could to wipe Sammy's tears.

Her hands couldn't do it but the action surely did and Sammy immediately stopped crying and kissed Vamika on her cheeks.

'So you two are a team now?' Rits asked.

'I love Vami! More than you, dada, chachu and chachi.' Sammy stated and cupped Vami's face in her little palms.

'Like fathers like daughters. And be a good sister and take care of her in our absence. Ok?' Rits asked her daughter.

'I will ofcourse. I, chachu and Vami will watch our favourite film frozen. I'm Elsa and Vami is Anna.'

'Then who is Chachu? Olaf?'

'Yes, I love olaf.' she was again back to smiling ear to ear, completely forgetting that she was wailing until a minute ago.

'Vi, you've woken up? Good thing. I and Ro will leave now. We should go get dressed and then attend the event. Take care of the girls.' she said getting up and walking in my bedroom.

'Ro, get up you kumbhkaran. We should leave.'

'Five minutes.' he pleaded.

'No. Also how many times did I tell you to not sleep on their bed? Get up you idiot.'

'Ok, don't shout now. My ear drums will be damaged.'

He streched his arms lazily as he walked out of the room yawning.

'Bye Vi, see you tonight.' he gave me a quick hug.

'Bye Kids. Don't irritate him.' he instructed the girls before they left leaving me with the kids.
