"Main aagaya hoon!! I announced as I walked inside my brother Omkara's room. I saw Om sitting on the bed and bending down to tie his shoe lace and Chulbul bhabhi was packing a bag.
"O, don't worry your saviour is here. I said grinning.
Om stood up to look at me and he seemed clearly displeased with the arrangement.
"I don't think it is a good idea, Rudra. We will do it some other day, when mom and Daadi come back or when Shivay and bhabhi is home. He said
"O what are you talking! Don't you trust me? I asked offended.
He sighed and turned to look at Gauri bhabhi. They, like an old married couple, talked with each other through eyes after which Om walked to the crib placed in the corner and lifted my nephew.
"Hello... I said in a baby voice as I took eighteen months old Ved in my hands from his grumpy papa. "Are you ready to spend time with chachu? I asked and he replied with a very cute giggle.
"See, he likes me a lot and you are not ready to leave him with me. I said looking at Om.
Gauri bhabhi who was busy packing, which I now know to be Ved's bag with his items, gave the bag to me.
"Rudy bhaiya, it has his water bottle, milk bottle, extra pair of dress and night dress. I have placed his favourite toys inside. But, if he gets cranky bring him here or take him to pool side, then he will be fine. "instructed bhabhi
"Don't worry, bhabhi. I know how to handle this super boy. We are best buddies, haina? I said looking at Ved and raised my hand for hi-5 and he immediately obliged. I have been training him to give hi-5.
"Rudra, if you have any problem call me immediately. Don't try to act smart, okay? said Om making a serious face
"Uff ho, We both will be fine. Now, you both get going else you will be late for your reservation. " I insisted
O had planned a date with Gauri bhabhi in order to spend some alone time with her as since the baby was born they both are extremely busy. Mom and daadi were supposed to look after the baby. But, unfortunately one of daadi's old friends passed away and she along with maa and choti maa has gone to village. As usual dad and chote papa are on business meeting. O's last resort was Shivay bhaiya but since Shahil was sick and school called, he and Annika bhabhi had gone to take care of him. Om was planning to cancel his plans, but I, saviour and last hope of this whole Oberoi Mansion, came forward to help him. I offered to babysit Ved, so that Om and Bhabhi can enjoy some alone time. Ain't I just awesome?
"Lastly, Rudra. Said O turning to look at me before exiting the house. "He is a kid not a toy. He warned earning himself a whack from Gauri bhabhi.
"Omkaraji, they will be fine. I trust Rudy bhaiya. She said sweetly.
Ah! That is why I love my bhabhis the most.
"O, don't bore us with useless things. Be gone already we both are planning to have so much fun. Then I turned to bhabhi and said, "I know it is not easy to have fun with him, but try, okay?
Gauri bhabhi giggled while Om just kept glaring at me. I ignored him as I and Ved waved at his parents with a smile.
"What do you want to do now? I asked ved who was sitting in the middle of the bed surrounded by pillows. See, I know to keep the baby safe.
"Chachu...paptop... he said pointing to my laptop.
"Aye! Baby wants to play? I asked. "You are just like chachu. When you grow up, you come to gym with chachu, okay? We will grow muscles like this. I said showing my muscles.
"Wooo...iig... said Ved poking my muscles.
"I know. And I will also help you find girlfriends. I am sure your papa will try to make you a boring person like him. But chachu always at my boy's rescue. I said as I settled on the bed and lifted Ved. I made him sit on my lap facing me.
"You look just like O. I said patting his nose. "Your Daadi says you are her choto O completely except eyes, which are like your mamma.
As soon as I said mamma, Ved's eyes brightened and he began to mumble, "Maa..
Oops. What have I done? Now, what will I do if he starts crying? I immediately picked up a big penguin toy that I have in my room and placed beside us.
"Deko... I said distracting him.
We had lots of fun playing games in my laptop, boxing with the penguin and dancing for bollywood songs. God! I don't think I have so much fun in recent times. I lay on my bed exhausted with Ved on my stomach.
"Did you have fun? I asked
Ved jumped sitting on me clapping his hands. Of course, he had fun. We both are too good together.
I began feeding Ved his food talking to him about everything under the sun and he was listening to me attentively like no one else.
"You know everyone says chachu is youngest and naughtiest, but you know what? Chachu is the most responsible person in the lot. When your bade papa and badi maa had problems in their love life, it was chachu who always helped them to sort things. And your mamma and papa, uff ho, your papa has done masters in misunderstanding your mamma. Every time, I stood with them and made papa understand his love for mamma. Now, tell me, they are problem creators and your chachu is problem solver. Who is better?
"Chachu said Ved clapping his hands as if understanding
"Oh My boy!" I said bending down to kiss his cheek.
"You know what! Being happy all the time no matter what worse situation life throws at you is the hardest thing to do. Very early in life chahcu understood that you can achieve nothing by sacrificing your happiness. So, I decided to be happy in spite of all hardships. Everyone thinks that your chachu is silly, carefree and irresponsible. But, that is not true. Never ever listen to your Bhavya chachi's complains about chachu. Being happy is choice. It doesn't mean that I am any of the things that they say I am. My view of life is different from others but not wrong.
I looked at Ved looking at me intently with an serious expression. I chuckled at how cute he looked. I placed his food bowl aside and picked him up in my hand.
"Your bade papa and papa think that they always protect me form everything bad. That is true to certain extend. But, no one can escape life, beta. It catches up to you. But, I never crumbled. I just believed in spreading happiness.
"You understand chachu, right? I asked
Ved bent down to kiss my cheeks one after another. I know the boy understood nothing after all he is a kid, nevertheless I was touched by his gesture.
"Lub you... he said making my eyes wide in surprise. Sure he must have heard his papa say this.
"I love you too... I said kissing his nose.
It Was Not Supposed To End Here.
But I Think It Has To
This Story Is Dedicated To Everyone Who Loves Rudra Singh Oberoi. The Story Was Supposed To Be Something Else But I Am Glad It Turned Out To Be A Rudy Fic. Hope You Like It.
I Am Ending Here. However If You Want A Dose Of Rikara Here It Is...
Omkara hovered on top of his wife placing kisses on her naked chest. "Omm... she moaned pushing him aside
"Why did you leave Ved with Rudy bhaiya? What if he cries?
Om sighed and looked at his wife. "Gauri, I checked on them once we came back. Both are sleeping hugging each other. I didn't want to disturb either of them. Anyways we have got alone time at night after a long time without your clingy son, so please let me love you. Said Omkara as he started to caress to waist capturing her lips in his.
Rudra rushed to his brother's room holding a crying Ved. When Ved began to cry in the middle of the night, Rudra became helpless. He tried few tricks to quiet his nephew, but when nothing worked he rushed to his brother's room.
"Om, Chulbul Bhabhi. Called Rudra knocking the door.
No response.
"O, yaar, Ved is crying. Rudy knocked the door louder this time.
No response.
Rudra was half planning to break the door, when Om opened the door and came out. Rudra was caught off guard to see his always prim and proper brother emerge out sweaty, shirtless and his unbuttoned pants loosely hanging on his hips.
"Sorry... mumbled Rudra realizing what he had interrupted.
Indifferent from being disturbed Omkara immediately took his son from his brother. "I know he will not sleep without his mother. Mumbled Omkara.
"Omkaraji, why is Ved crying? Rudra heard his bhabhi shout from inside.
"Anyways, thank you Rudra. Said Omkara as he went back to his room.
Gauri had already slipped into Omkara's black shirt. Once Ved saw his maa, he immediately jumped to her and hugged her tightly.
"Shh... I am here beta, now sleep. Said Gauri cradling him.
Soon, Ved Singh Oberoi slipped back into sleep and Omkara carefully placed his son in the crib.
"So, he said turning to his wife with a grin, " Where were we, Gauri? he asked winking.
