The Bond ❤️❤️

jealousy jealousy 2

In the common room, the air buzzed with energy as DJ and Yashu battled it out on the video game console. Shubhi and Sarfaraz were deep into another game, their laughter breaking through their concentrated expressions. Ishu and Rinku chatted excitedly, their earlier sadness replaced with joy. Virat stood among them, feeling a sense of fulfillment as he watched them unwind and enjoy themselves.

Just as Virat turned to grab another slice of pizza, he noticed a group of familiar faces at the doorway. Rahul, Harry, Jassi, Siraj, Kuldeep, Yuzi, and Shreyas stood there, their expressions a mix of hurt and fury. Their crossed arms and glaring eyes made it clear they were not happy.

"Vi Bhaiya," Rahul began, his voice trembling with emotion, "do you not care about us anymore? You always tell us to avoid junk food and video games, but here you are, doing exactly that with them."

Virat's smile faded as he took in their accusatory looks. He sighed, placing the pizza down and walking over to them. "Guys, it's not like that. I just wanted to cheer them up. They were feeling left out."

"Left out? What about us?" Shreyas interjected, his voice laced with jealousy. "We’re your family too. You can't just replace us with them."

"Shreyas, you're misunderstanding—" Virat started but was cut off by Harry.

"Why do you care about them so much? We need you too, Vi Bhai. Are we not important to you anymore?" Harry's voice cracked as he spoke, revealing the depth of his feelings.

Jassi stepped forward, eyes blazing. "You always told us to eat healthy, but now you're feeding them junk food. You used to feed us too, remember? But now it seems like they are more important to you."

"Ha Bhai, did you forget who is your first kiddo? Why do you spend more time with them? Spend time with us." Rahul added, his voice heavy with emotion.

Virat felt the weight of their words, understanding the pain behind their accusations. He reached out, placing a hand on Rahul's shoulder. "Rahuliya, you are my first kiddo. How can you even think that you’re not important to me? None of you are replaceable. I was just trying to make sure everyone felt included."

Siraj, who had been silent until now, spoke up, his voice low and hurt. "But it feels like we’ve been pushed aside, Vi Bhai. We see you with them, and it feels like you’ve forgotten us."

"Siraj, how can I forget you? You’re my little brother. Each one of you holds a special place in my heart," Virat said, looking each of them in the eye. "Rahul, you are my first kiddo and will always be my Rahuliya. Harry, you're my dependable brother. Jassi, you are my fierce protector. Siraj, my silent strength. Kuldeep, my cheerful spirit. Yuzi, my mischievous companion. And Shreyas, you are my thoughtful confidant."

The tension in the air began to dissipate slightly as Virat's words sunk in. He continued, "I understand why you feel this way, but please know that my bond with you hasn’t changed. If anything, it has only grown stronger. These youngsters need guidance and care, but that doesn’t mean I care for you any less."

Rahul looked down, feeling a mix of shame and relief. "I just miss you, Vi Bhaiya. We miss spending time with you."

Virat pulled Rahul into a hug, then extended his arms to include the rest of them. "I miss you too. Let’s not let misunderstandings come between us. How about we all have a party together? Everyone’s invited. We’ll make it a night to remember."

The group slowly nodded, their earlier anger replaced with understanding and relief. Virat led them back into the room, and as they joined the youngsters, he made sure to give each one of his kids special attention, reaffirming their place in his heart.

Ro was with his "sust murgon ki toli" when he noticed them coming. Rahul, aka Vi's Rahuliya, was clinging to one of Virat's arms, and Harry to the other, while the rest clung to him as well.

"Vi bhaiya, come on, let's play one more round," Shubhi called out.

"No, he is playing with his favorite bro—" Harry began, but Rahul cut him off.

"—aka me," Harry finished, pulling Vi towards the game. Rahul glared at him playfully.

"Let's go, Shubhi. I will play with you. We will make Vi Bhai regret not choosing us as gaming partners," Rahul said, glaring possessively at the Harry-Vi duo.

Shreyas joined Rinku, and Jassi teamed up with Ishu. Siraj paired with Sarfaraz, and Yuzi, feeling slightly mischievous, pulled a sleepy Ro to play. Dhruv, along with Kuldeep, started another game.

As the night progressed, the room was filled with joyous laughter, friendly banter, and the occasional playful argument. Virat moved around, ensuring each of his kids felt his presence and love.

"Rahuliya, you know you’re always my first choice," Virat said, ruffling Rahul's hair as he lost another round to Harry.

Rahul smiled, his earlier hurt fading. "I know, Vi Bhaiya. I just wanted to hear it from you."

Harry smirked, nudging Virat. "Told you I'm the favorite."

"Keep dreaming," Rahul retorted, sticking out his tongue.

Shreyas and Rinku were engrossed in their game, but Shreyas couldn't resist a jab. "Hey, Vi Bhaiya, why don’t you show us some of your moves?"

"Yeah, we need a real challenge," Rinku added, grinning.

Virat chuckled. "Alright, let's see what you got."

Jassi and Ishu watched with interest, Jassi leaning closer to Ishu. "See? I told you Vi Bhaiya would make everything better."

Ishu nodded, smiling. "He always does."

Siraj and Sarfaraz, taking a break from their game, watched Virat with admiration. "He's really something, isn’t he?" Sarfaraz said softly.

Siraj nodded. "The best."

Yuzi, pulling Ro along, joined in the fun. "Come on, Ro, show them how it's done."

Ro, despite his sleepiness, laughed and joined the others, contributing to the lively atmosphere.

As the night wore on, Virat and Ro took turns feeding their kids. "Here, have some more pizza," Virat said, handing a slice to Kuldeep. "And remember, tomorrow we go back to healthy food."

Kuldeep grinned, taking the pizza. "Got it, Vi Bhaiya."

Ro fed Yuzi, who tried to steal an extra piece of cake. "Hey, slow down there," Ro said, laughing. "You’ll get a stomachache."

Yuzi pouted but obeyed. "Only because you’re feeding me, Ro Bhai."

By the end of the night, the room was filled with happy, contented faces. The earlier misunderstandings had been resolved, and the bond between Virat and his kids was stronger than ever. They all gathered around, sharing stories and memories, basking in the warmth of their unique family.

As the celebrations wound down, Virat looked around at his kids, his heart full. "I love you all, you know that, right?"

A chorus of affirmations and nods followed, and Rahul, speaking for all, said, "We love you too, Vi Bhaiya."

The night turned into a joyous celebration, with laughter, games, and shared memories, strengthening the bond they all cherished so deeply.
