The first day of the test had just concluded and Rohit after giving his insights to all the players, appreciating the young one's efforts and discussing with Rahul bhai and the coaches about tomorrow had just walked back into the dressing room.
It was empty with no one else there. Either they were on the ground still or had left for the hotel.
He took his phone out of the locker and turned it on to find a million calls and texts from Ritika.
He called her back panicking.
When she picked up, he started screaming.
"Ritika! Are you okay? Is Sammy okay?? Is something wrong??? answer me!?!"
"Calm down tiger! Let me talk. Everyone is okay here but you NEED to call Vi now!" He heard her reply to him on the call.
"Now?? Are they all okay?? Ritsy just tell me." Rohit was now whining on the phone.
"Just call him please Ro. It's important." Hearing these words from her made his overthinking even worse.
What if something had happened to his Vi? to his baby Vamu? to his sister Anu?
All this overthinking made him not think the most obvious thing that could've happened at that moment and he called Virat in a hurry.
"VI?? ARE YOU ALL OKAY? RITSY SAID TO CALL YOU BUT DIDN'T TELL ME WHY I AM SO WORRIED. TALK!!" Rohit was now full-on yelling on the phone.
If someone outside the dressing room heard him, they would probably think he'd gone crazy.
(Ro i mean...)
"Ro, It's a boy." Virat said calmly.
"It's a-? It's a b-what?" Rohit's brain was in a million places. A boy!
"It's a boy, Ro. His name's Akaay. You are Ro cha once again." Rohit could hear Virat's tears from the speaker of the phone.
"Vi?" Rohit was on the verge of tears too now.
"Nush went into labour last night and we wanted to tell you but thought you would think of a million ways to fly here and I was not about to do that before a match."
"Well I'll pack my bags now"
"No you won't! Win this one for him Ro."
"But I wanna meet my baba" Virat knew Rohit was pouting.
"Aree you can see him on face time now Ro cha then when the series is over you'll see him all the time."
Virat switched the call to face time.
The two just looked at each other.
"Take me to him please Vi. I wanna see him" Rohit basically pleaded.
Virat just nodded smiling through the tears.
Virat walked inside the room where Anushka was sitting on the rocking chair while looking over at baby Akaay in his bassinet.
"Ro?" Anushka asked smiling.
Virat nodded and gave the phone to Anushka.
"Anu? How are you behna? I am so happy for you baccha" Rohit smiled lovingly at Anushka.
"I am at the top of the world Ro. I can't believe I get to feel this incredible feeling twice. I wish you, Ritsy and Sammy were here too but come after the series please."
"Yes pakka"
Anushka picked up the baby and Virat turned the camera towards them.
Rohit smiled wide remembering this exact moment that happened back in 2021 when Vamu was born.
Rohit quickly took screenshots to savour these moments forever in his heart.
Then Virat took the phone and showed Rohit what or well who he was dying to see.
A tiny baby with a tiny scrunch on his tiny face and his tiny hand in a fist sleeping in his mother's arms.
"Vi...Anu...He's beautiful." And here comes to waterworks.
Rohit too had tears in his eyes now.
"Look at him... he's so tiny just like a little baby bunny" Anushka and Virat chuckled at that.
"Dada Mumma Can I play with baby now?" Rohit heard another voice from the other side of the phone.
"Not now Vamu. Baby is sleeping. We'll play later okay? Till then say hello to Ro cha" Virat bent down to her height.
"RO CHA DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE A BABY NOW TOO?" Vamu said excitedly.
"Yes Baba and you'll be the best sister in the world."
"But that's Zivu di and Sammy di na?" Vamu said frowning.
"They are baccha but You'll join them and be the best sister trio in the world for baby Akku, Yeah?" Virat told her.
Vamu smiled very wide at that and nodded her head making her pigtails go hither tither.
Virat picked her up and turned the camera so that all four of them were in the frame now.
Rohit looked at their cute little family, a family that's his too.
May god always keep them this happy.
"I love you guys." Rohit said now tears flowing from his eyes.
"We love you too Ro cha" Anushka said this time.
Anushka asked them to add Ritika too and it was just the 7 of them, their nuclear family on the video call.
Sammy whining about how she wants to meet the baby too, Ritika trying to convince her that they'll meet them soon, Vamu looking at the baby and Anushka telling her something.
Virat and Rohit looked at each other.
Simply talking to each other with their eyes without saying any words.
Asking how lucky they are to have this family, how much they have grown from those clueless kids who met each other.
Life's good now.

Short one for now.
I am so happy I might cry I love them
