"You hate even the sight of me. It hurts, Ro, it hurts to even think about the scenario where I would lose you, any of you. A scenario, where you all hate me. A world where I am left alone and nobody's there to hold me and tell me that I am here for...
A/N: This chapter is really close to my heart. Please leave in line comments.❤️ And please watch the above video. I mean, everytime I watch this, I cry and I don't know the reason. Maybe it's Rohit and Virat or maybe the song is way too emotional.

Everyone was sitting there, lost in their own worlds.
And Hardik's words from today's morning resonated in his brain.
"We don't need him!"
He took a glance at everyone and then at his own reflection. He had come to a conclusion.
For the next five years, there won't be a single moment when they will not need him.

Rohit retired to his room, not able to withstand the dressing room atmosphere anymore.
The weight of today's loss was overbearing to him. But he knew that today's loss was more than the loss of a match.
They all had missed a certain someone.
There was no one on the field today, to channelise his energy onto them.
There was no one on the field today, to celebrate their achievements more than his own.
There was no one on the field, roaring with joy when Bhuvi took the wickets or when Ambati scored a century.
There was no one today, to put his arm around Rohit's shoulder as he did after every match they lost.
Rohit's breathing increased and a sob escaped his mouth. His lips quivered as he sat on his bed shakily and quietly sniffled.
He had betrayed you! He had betrayed the whole team! Stop thinking about him! He isn't your Virat anymore!!
More sobs left his mouth as the thought that he had actually lost his Virat crossed his mind.
Calm down Rohit, Calm down!!
He needed to calm himself. He rummaged through his things, trying to find something that would distract him.
Music, yes! Music would distract him!!
He put on his air pods and started his playlist. The soft melody of the song playing started to quieten him down; he drowned himself in the tune as he tried to divert his mind away from Virat.
But he had tough luck today.
He cursed as soon as he heard the next song, yet he couldn't bring himself to change it. He knew that it would bring back way too many memories about the person he was attempting to distract himself from.
Still, he just let it be.
Tu jo rootha, toh kaun hasega?
