"Who's there?" Rohit asked from the wash room. Virat took a deep breath, "It's me Virat." He mumbled.

"Who locked you in the wash room?" Virat asked. "Locked? Rishu said it's jammed and not opening." Rohit asked, bewildered.

Virat unlocked the door and Rohit came out, "It was locked from outside, wasn't jammed." Virat said reaching for the door knob.

Virat turned the knob to open the door, he frowned, and tried to open it with more force.

Rohit looked at him struggling to open the door, "What happened?" He asked.

"The door's not opening." Virat said still trying to open the door.

"Let me try." Rohit said, reaching out to the door handle. He tried but up to no avail.

"It's not opening." Rohit said as he went to sit on the bed. "Call someone please Virat." He said, still not looking at Virat.

Virat didn't like the sound of his full name from Rohit. It had been ages since he had been called that by Rohit now.

He also wasn't looking at Rohit when he said, "I don't have my phone with me, can you please do it?" Virat asked.

"My phone's with Rah, he took it to call Tia." Rohit said and Virat frowned.

"Even Jassi came to take my phone." Virat said slowly, "That means just one thing."

"It was their plan." Rohit and Virat said in unison and looked at each other finally.

"Harry chachu!" Samaira and Vamika ran towards Hardik, who had come to pick them up.

"How are my babies?" Hardik asked taking them in his arms.

"We are fine chachu, why didn't Vi cha and dada come?" Samaira asked looking behind Hardik.

"They are locked in the room." Hardik said and Ritika and Anushka glared at him.

"Harry what did you say?" Ritika asked pointing towards Samaira and Vamika.

"Uh nothing sorry." Hardik said sheepishly scratching his neck.

"Ah why's akaay sleeping I wanted to play with him." Hardik said looking at the baby in Anushka's arms.

"We are here only Harry play with him as much as you want later." Anushka said.

They sat in the car and the kids were fast asleep. "So what's the progress?" Anushka asked.

"At this moment Ro and Vi are locked in the room, hopefully." Hardik said.

"What do you mean hopefully now?" Anushka asked, exasperated.

"That depends on Rishab and Shreyas na." Hardik said reminding them.
