Mumbai, India
At Kohli's
Sprawled on his bed with his eyes fixed on the TV screen playing some nice Netflix show and having Bruno as his company, Virat was having a much needed alone and relaxed time after his continuous hectic schedule. 
Before, he could have thanked god for this precious free time, the doorbell rang. 
Virat was sure that it must be one of his crazy teammate invading his ME-time.
‘Why on earth can't people let me have some time in peace’ He thought to himself and let out an irritated sigh but still not moving from his place.
When the doorbell rang again, he finally decided to get up realising the doors can't open themselves.
Never in this life he realised that the sound of doorbell can be so annoying.
"Have some patience, for god sake" He said as he opened the door. 
When he was planning to scold the person on the door, he knew that the opposite is going to happen after realising who the visitors actually were.
"O khote, itna time lagta hai gate kholne m?" said the very beautiful and elegant lady standing at the entrance of the apartment. 
Totally taken aback by this sudden visit of his family, Virat didn't know how to react. 
At first, he bended to take blessings from his mother and then took her in a warm hug, he has missed being in his mom's embrace so much. He then met his brother, bhabhi (sister in law), and his cute nephew and followed them to the hall as they entered the place.
"How come you all here? That too without informing?" Virat asked quite surprised with this sudden visit.
"So, do we need your permission before coming here now?" Can you ever expect a simple sweet answer from your elder brother? The answer is a big NO.
"That's not what I meant bhai. I am very happy to see you all. I missed you guys" Virat said in his defence.
"Accha, itna hi miss krra tha to Delhi kyu nhi aaya? Mujhe to lagta hai ki tu hme bhool hi gaya hai" His mom said and Virat instantly came and cupped her face.
"Maa, mai tumhe bhool jau ye ho nhi sakta, or tum mujhe bhool jao ye mai hone nhi dunga" Talk about being dramatic. 
"Virat, Your sweet buttering won't work this time. We all are extremely upset. You hardly come to meet us" Listening to his Bhabhi's words, he knew that he has to put a lot of efforts to convince his family this time.
"And We know the reason of you not coming to meet us, too." Vikas said in a stern voice making Virat a little nervous.
"Okay, I'm sorry guys. But let's have dinner first. I missed having dinner together" Virat said with his puppy eyes and the family gave in too. 
The whole family had an amazing time at the dinner, pulling each other's legs, joking and having fun.
As all of them went to their respective rooms, Virat knew that the next day has a lot in store for him. 
He knew what his family wants to discuss with him and that's the reason he was avoiding them too. 
Keeping all these thoughts aside and recalling the amazing time he spent with the family after long, he immersed in a good sleep.

The sunrays made it's way into Virat's room compelling him to wake up.
