Shelter

Bhaiya [Rohit - MS]

@SerenaLippincott and @Slithera77 this one is for you!  

Finding Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his phone, at a distance of less than 10 feet from each other, you are bound to get a shock. Sakshi, his beloved wife, got one too. She walked closer to him and when he didn't notice, she became worried. She took a glance towards his screen and what she saw pleasantly surprised her. Her husband, who graced his drought like conditioned Instagram once in while, was not only using it, but also watching reels! Well, if she had not been Rohit and Virat's dearest bhabhi, she would not have opted for a dramatic reaction, but she was, so here goes.

"Aww Mahi", she said grinning as if she had just caught a teenager hiding their chats with their partner. Well, in her defence Mahi was acting like that teenager, as he quickly shut his phone and threw it behind his back.

"What are you hiding there Mahi?" she enquired playfully. Her husband's flustered face was a sight to witness.

"Nothing- just- ", Mahi began.

"Mahi", she said softly, settling comfortably beside him. "You know, it is of no use", she said raising her eyebrow, to which he sighed and handed the phone to her.

Before she opened it, Sakshi turned to him and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Mahi smiled softly and nodded in no. He indicated her to unlock the phone which she did and it opened to the Instagram reel Mahi bhai had been watching. She grinned at him, while he just shrugged. 

"Oh hey, is this Ro?" Sakshi asked. Mahi nodded.

"And who is he with? Oh its Zak, oh it is so cute. It is with Zak, Mahi", Sakshi said enthusiastically, a bit too much for someone's liking.

"Yeah", Mahi grunted. "Watch further."

"Oh it's Yuv, how cutely did he kiss Ro's forehead. Cuties, they are looking right? Oh and it's Bhajji too, oh lovely. Even Sach pa, aww it is such a nice reel. This describes all of them so well",  Poor Sakshi's innocent excitement did nothing but add more fuel to the fire.

"And me?" Mahi mumbled. 

"Sorry?"

"What about me?" Mahi said louder, his eyes displaying the sadness he felt. "I am nowhere in this video. It is Ro with everyone except me, why? Am I not a senior to Ro? Or am I not his favourite senior, as Zak is? Am I not his favourite brother as Yuv is?"

Sakshi was surprised at the sudden attack of questions, but Mahi could not help himself after watching the reel once more. He had watched it once more, when in the first time he had not found even a single picture of him and Ro. He had read through the comments once more, when he had not found any of them complaining about the absence of their photo, slowly but surely, those stupid feelings arose. 

Yuvi was his favourite brother and it was something everyone knew. Mahi also knew how much Zak meant to the boy, and even Bhajji and Rahul Bhai. And he respected their bonds with Rohit. But it doesn't mean that his and Rohit's bond was not that important to make it to the reel, even through a picture. 

"Mahi", she turned to him and said. "I know this is not only about the reel. Something else has happened. Tell me, what is going on in your brain?"

Mahi stared at the phone and said, "Well, you see, when we were in Jamnagar, he did not come and meet me first. He first went to Zak's room, then went to Sach pa's and then came to ours." 

Sakshi struggled to contain her smile. At that moment, Mahi looked exactly like an annoyed Ziva. "I know that Mahi, but then later, you and him also spent the night together."
