(Set in a coronaless world)

Vi was sitting in his room, after the team had returned to the hotel, with his head in his hands. He was having a headache and felt a little under the weather. He pressed his forehead with his fingers to relieve the pain but that was of no use. 

He was contemplating on whether to lie down and rest for a while or not, when his kids thundered in. Virat instantly straightened up trying hs best to put up a normal happy face, not letting them know about his headache.

The boys were happy for winning the test series and demanded the captain for an ice cream party since all the remaining boys had also arrived. Vi couldn't say no to them and organised it for them, in the back lawn of the hotel. He looked around and saw his boys were chatting and enjoying their ice creams happily.

He felt so proud of them, all of them, watching them intently he made his way to Ro. A part of him wanted to go back to his room, but the scene in front of him attracted him towards it. 

Jassi who saw him coming their way noticed he wasn't eating ice cream so he went and got him one, walking towards him, he said, "Bhaiya have ice cream na."

Virat was going to protest but couldn't say no to Jassi's puppy eyes. After the party they all went to their respective rooms. As soon as Virat entered his room, he felt a slight itch in his throat and a little bit more painful headache. He had an inkling that maybe the ice-cream has aggravated his sore condition a bit more.

But he didn't take it as something serious and laid down on his bed and tried to sleep his headache off. Emphasis on 'tried' here because his headache seemed to be with increasing every passing minute.

On the other hand, Rahul was with Harry and Mayank in Harry's room, as usual, and they both were annoying him, as usual. At last, he had had enough of Harry's and Mayu's pestering, and he stomped out of the room, leaving those two monkeys on their own devices. 

He made his way to Virat's room, because where else can he go now? He opened the door and what he saw immediately filled him with worry and concern.

Virat was lying on his bed all but curled up in a ball, clutching his head tight. Rah ran inside the room, and placed his hand on Virat's shoulders, and said very worriedly, "What happened Vi?"

Virat, in turn, clutched onto Rah's hand which he had kept on his shoulders and whispered in a very painful childlike voice, "It's paining a lot...", that made Rah want to cry. 

Gulping down the pain he felt on witnessing his big brother like that, Rah gently asked, "What is paining, bhaiya?"

"My head ahh..", replied Virat, which ended with a wince. 

Rahul touched Virat's forehead with his palm gently to check his temperature and found that his forehead was burning, due to high fever. He gently eased Virat to lay down on the bed on his back and pulled the duvet on him. He then rushed to get a paracetamol tablet and water. He then handed the tablet to Virat and helped him take it. Virat took the medicine without a word.

Rah then made Virat lay back again and quickly went and got a handkerchief and a bowl of cold water and sat beside Virat's head. He ran a soothing hand through Virat's hairs, caressing it softly and started to dab his forehead with the cold wet handkerchief to bring down his temperature.
