"Yaaar abhi isne lights kyu band kardi" Rohit said irritated
"Itni der se khada kar rakha hai bata bhi nahi rahe kyu" Yuzi commented

Suddenly the lights were turned on and they saw the room decorated with balloons and the wall in the front read "Welcome Back"

"Welcome back? Kaun wapis aaya?" Rohit asked reading the balloons

"Boys" A voice from the behind whispered. The whole team didn't dare utter a word and immediately looked towards Virat for confirmation wether they actually heard the voice or not and as soon as he nodded, the team turned around.

"Behan" Rohit whispered with tears in his eyes
"Boys" She cried opening her arms for a hug
Rohit, Yuzi, Bumrah, Bhuvi and Ajinkaya went running towards her for a hug.

They sat down on the floor while hugging and crying.
"Tu kahi nahi jaa rahi ab" Rohit cried hugging her tightly
"Are you- are you?" Bhuvi tried to ask
"Back? Yes, yes I am" She said smiling, tears trailing down her face
"We missed you bacha" Ajju said trying to hug her well it was a group hug, so he was hugging all of them.

"What's happening over here?" Rahul asked entering the room. The boys made enough space so that Rahul could see Kiara sitting on the floor.
"Kiara" He screamed gliding on the floor, hugging her with such force that she fell on her back.

"Rahul" She laughed
"I missed you, I missed you, I missed you so much" He repeated hugging her tightly, few tears falling down his eyes.
"I missed you too Rahul" She said wiping his tears and then kissing his forehead
"Ho gaya chalu, saara love, saari attention isko, hum toh chutiye hai" Rohit said irritated that her attention was shifted towards her bestfriend.
"Aww? Is someone jealous?" Rahul mocked him
"Side hatt abhi mujhe hug karna hai usko" Rohit said
"No it's my turn" Bhuvi argued
"Yaar Cheeku isko bol na kuch" Ajju said annoyed
"Mai tum log aur tumhari behan ki beech mai kuch nahi bolunga jo karna hai karo" Virat laughed leaving the room for a few minutes.
"Ekdam chipak gaya, chodd hi nahi raha Kiara tu toh kuch bol" Yuzi said making everyone argue.

"Mumma" A little voice called out and for the second time the room went silent.
"Mumma" The voice called out again, trying to get out of his uncle's hold so that he could run towards his mum.

The boys looked towards the little baby, in the hands of the Englishmen who came with his team to play the series.
"Hey guys" Jonny said as everyone was staring the baby in his arms. A baby in his arms was not shocking the more surprising factor was that the little boy called out for his mother and as far as the boys knew there was only a single female present in the room.

"That is your nephew" Kiara said
"Yo-yours?" Ajju stuttered
"Is that mamu?" The two year old asked signalling towards Rohit, a hint of british accent in his voice.
"Mamu, yes bacha I am mamu" Rohit cried happily

"Mamu down" The kid said trying to get out of Jonny's arms.
"Changed your team so quickly eh?" Jonny asked the baby
"I want mummy" The kid answered

"Whats the baby doing with him? And why is he calling him mamu?" Yuzi asked confused
"After this" Kiara answered embracing the baby running towards her.

"I missed you" The baby said hugging her.
"You ate your food?" She asked
"Yes, mum no cry..... I am here.... don't cry" The kid said with pauses in between wiping her face.
"Okay baby" She smiled

"Kiara Sharma, why did you hide our nephew from us?" Rohit asked, a hint of anger in his tone.
"Rohi bhai I can explain" Kiara said
"Ohh you better, disappearing and not contacting us for two years is different but hiding my nephew from me, how could you even do that to me?" Rohit shouted
"Us bhai" Bumrah corrected
"Haan us, yaha mai gussa kar raha hu tujhe mazak sooj raha hai" Rohit said annoyed
"Tu kar liyo gussa par bache ke samne nahi" Ajju hinted looking at the kid's expression

"Jonny where is the little guy? He left his koala behind" Jos asked entering the room
"Uncle" The baby exclaimed happily running towards Jos

"Did he called him uncle?" Rohit shouted softly
"Thank god he didn't called him mamu" Kiara mumbled
"No no, ask him to call Ben Stokes mamu" Ajju said sarcastically
"How did you-" Kiara tried to say but got interrupted

"Jonny where is the little guy? I have his sipper with me" Stokes said entering the room
"Mamu" The kid smiled looking towards Ben

"NO-" Rohit tried to scream but Rahul kept a hand on his mouth.

"Hey wait a minute, you guys are just making excuses to see him now" Kiara said going towards the englishmen playing with the baby
"No" Ben and Jos lied smiling
"Your time is up, we talked about this" Kiara scolded
"Come on Ki, let us play with the little guy for few more minutes" Ben pleaded
"And watch those minutes turn to hours? No way, you played with him the whole time on the airplane" Kiara argued 

"Are you guys seeing what I am seeing?" Rahul asked
"Yes, yes we are" Yuzi replied
"Yeh series jeetne nahi chaiye" Rohit commented
"Ab toh bilkul nahi" Ajinkya added seeing the little kid mixing well with the English player.

"Out, out of the room and don't even expect to see him till tomorrow" Kiara said pushing the English players out of the room.
"That doesn't includes me right?" Jonny asked before leaving
"No bhai, ofcourse not" Kiara answered
"Good" Jonny smiled closing the door before his teammates could protest.

"Let's meet your mamus, I showed you their pictures" Kiara smiled at the baby and introduced him to everyone. The baby took special interest in talking to Rahul.

"Bilkul apni ma ki tarah, haan ussi ko karle saara pyaar" Rohit said folding his hands and acting like he was angry. The kid saw that and immediately went to hug Rohit.
"Sahi mai apni ma ki tarah" Bhuvi laughed at the scene

"Kiara, I saw Jonny outside, is Kian here?" Virat asked entering the room
"Dadda" The baby screamed happily running towards his father
"Kian" Virat dropped to his knees hugging his child tightly
"WHAT?" Others screamed

"Dadda see dino" Kian said showing his T-shirt to his father
"Wow, you like it?" Virat was happily spending time with his child.

"Is this why you didn't talked to us? Because he is the father" Ajju asked
"No, I found about him days after run- going on a vacation and I didn't know if I should contact you guys or not" She answered not meeting their eyes.
"That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard" Yuzi scoffed
"You know you can call us anytime you want" Rohit said hugging her

"No no my mumma" Kian said trying to push Rohit away from his mother
"You might not want to hug me infront of him, he doesn't likes when somebody else comes near me" Kiara explained
"Wonder where he got that from" Rohit said raising his eyebrow
"What? Why is everyone looking at me?" Virat asked
"Because your kid is just like you, doesn't likes anyone else getting close to Kiara" Bumrah explained 
"I'm not like that" Virat said

"Kian, mamu can hug mumma, he missed me" Kiara explained
"No my mumma" Kian said
"So no one can hug you infront of him?" Rohit asked
"No, he lets Jonny hug me" She answered
"Ofcourse" Rahul said bursting a ballon near him
"Go play with your dadda" She smiled at Kian
"Okay" Kian said happily running towards his father.
