The IPl was finally over and the whole of ICT were shifted in a single hotel where they were patiently waiting for the quarantine period of their remaining members to be over. They were also eagerly waiting for their Australia series to begin.
Though the ICT was asked to refrain from jumping on each other. They were asked to stay in their rooms for another quick quarantine which had quite ended yesterday night. And no new, instructions were given to the players so they were sulking in their rooms pondering what to do?
While certain ICT kids were mentally measuring the distance of a certain Kohlito's room from their room while sitting on their balconies cursing the confinement and singing "Sagar kinare dil ye pukare, tu jo nhi mera toh koi nhi." The senior members of the ICT were relaxing and enjoying the momentary peace. IT was the moment when their phones pinged with a message from their captain.
"Meeting in the team room in an hour,"
Every ICT member present in the hotel was surprised by the sudden summon from the captain. While the people who knew the Captain personally couldn't help but roll their eyes at the ominous tone of the message. Could their captain be any more dramatic?
Sighing, Manish caste a mournful look towards his comfy place. His bed and his binge watch list. God, Virat was so going to hear from him if this summon was an useless event. Cursing, his bestie and his idiotic ideas Manish dragged himself out of the bed and checked his appearance once. He looked fine. It wasn't like he was going on some press conference. He dragged himself out of the room walking in a speed similar to sloth. He neared the team room.
He spotted two of his brothers also nearing the room. Rohit and Jaddu were matching the pace of a turtle actually looking like they were complaining about the world. Suddenly feeling very excited. Manish silently sprinted towards them and jumped on both of them his arms flung around the shoulders of both of them laughing. His brothers reaction was instantaneous both of them looked so startled with the added weight on them. Manish couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you trying to be a monkey?" Ro asked Manish totally displeased with his antics.
"Well, he isn't trying to be. He is a monkey," Jaddu insisted.
Manish elbowed both of his friends. Laughing they entered the team room and froze watching Mahi bhai standing there talking to Abhishek Sharma. Well, What was Abhishek Sharma doing here? Ro, Jad, and Manish thought together then dismissed the thought fastly. Mahi bhai was looking at them amusedly.
"MAHI BHAIIIIIII," Jaddu bellowed flinging himself on Mahi bhai and scaring poor Abhishek who was talking to Mahi bhai at that moment. After a few second, even Ro and Manish joined the hug making it a group hug where Mahi bhai was being squashed by them.
"I missed you bhai," Ro mummered snuggling to his big brother.
"I missed to you too bhai," Manish mumbled softly.
"I missed you most bhaiiiiiii," Jaddu sang and Mahi bhai didn't quite know what to do with these kids.
"You were with me the whole season," Mahi informed Jaddu smiling wryly.
"But I still missed you," Jaddu insisted and Mahi bhai couldn't help but smile exasperatedly at his kids as they continued snuggling with Mahi bhai uncaring of the gaping eyes on him.
They were still hugging when they heard the sound of running and unmistakable yell of Harry "Jaldiiii, hum late nhi ho skte" and then the gate opening with a loud crashing sound and Harry tumbling though the gate running.
Harry noticed Jaddu, Mahi, Ro and Manish in a group hug quite late. He started applying break but instead of stopping he skidded and tumbled down on Mahi bhai. The hoard of kids following Harry tried to stop but like Harry skidded and tumbled down taking everyone with them on the floor.
