When MSD of 2005 meets KOHLI from 2022

The Pranksters

Mahi half-lied on the bed keeping his head on the headrest. Virat locked the door and jumped on the bed, making MS frown in disbelief, how was this guy 34 ?

Virat ignored his expressions and comfortably lied down keeping his head on MSD's lap.

Poor MS was too shocked to utter a word.

"Aapko pata hai mai na mahi bhai ko hamesha bolta hu ki fir se bade baal kar lo, mereko bade baal wale mahi bhai ko dekhna hai, lekin sunte hi nahi, par koi nahi ab mai jaake unhe bataunga ki mai aapse mila " Virat ranted.

MS just sat there looking at him.

Virat turned back and saw his expression "Kya hua aise kyu dekh rahe ho? Sar pe hath fero na, jaise aap hamesha karte ho"  Virat took MSD's hand and kept it on his head.

"Pata hai jaise hi maine ye pehna .." He spoke showing his wristband "Mera sar ghoomne laga aur fir mujhe chakkar aane lage, jaise meri aankhe khuli mai uss dressing room mein pahunch gya " Virat told dramatically.

MS caught thinking "his head started reeling, probably that's why he is behaving like this, he will probably get alright after sleeping a bit"

"Virat, do you have a headache? " MS asked.

"Haan, thoda sa" Virat replied "Aur cheeku ya kiddo bulao na "

MS gagged at the thought of calling a 34 yo kiddo, then thought better and  replied "Achha cheeku, close your eyes, I'll give you a head massage, sleep a little, you will feel better, then we will talk okay? "

MS started massaging his head, virat felt relaxed "maine aapko boht miss kiya, ab mahi bhai ne retirement le liya na, ab wo hamare sath nahi rehte " Virat murmured.

"That's okay cheeku, you can come to me anytime, I'm always there" MS spoke. He himself didn't know why he was giving assurances to someone he didn't even know but the words just escaped his mouth automatically.

Virat gradually drifted off to sleep while MS massaged his head, occasionally ruffling his hair.

When virat didn't find Mahi bhai besides him when he woke up after an hour, he was sure it was a dream. "It was a ridiculously pleasant dream, but why did I sleep I should have talked to him, anyways  what's the time.. " He looked up at the clock. That's when he realised, its the same room that was in the dream, young Mahi bhai's room, so this was not a dream, he threw his hands in the air and did a little celebration, but where is bhai? "Bhaiii kahaan ho? " Virat shouted.

"BHAIIII" Virat shouted again when he didn't get any response.

"Yahi tha cheeku, kyu chilla rahe ho? " Mahi bhai said coming out of the washroom.

"Aap sach mein ho na, mujhe laga sapna tha wo "

"Did you sleep well? Headache hai abhi bhi?" MS asked.

"Nahi" Virat replied.

MS sat on the bed in confusion. He had thought that the guy would be okay after sleeping but clearly it wasn't the case,or probably he was like this only. It was probably better to talk to him and find out.

"So virat apne baare mein batao mujhe kuchh, you know me but I still don't know you well " MS asked trying to initiate a conversation..a real conversation, apart from Cheeku's rants.

"Batata hoon, jagah do zara " Virat said extending MSD's thighs and keeping his head on them "Toh jaisa ki aapko pata hai mera naam Virat kohli hai, aap mujhe pyaar se cheeku bulate hain and I love it, jab gussa ho jaate ho to you call me 'Viraaattt', wo nahi pasand mujhe, par I don't like it when anyone else calls me cheeku "
