Retirement ✅

Decisions and Relations

They reached at Bhuvi's home in Mumbai. Mahi had told the kids to take off for one day as they had to gather for next series tomorrow which was in Mumbai itself. They were waiting for Dada to arrive.

As soon as Dada arrived, Mahi rushed and hugged him. Others were not surprised they knew how Mahi was with Dada same as Rohirat with Mahi. They were starting to miss their friends now.

Dada made Mahi sit and said softly - "Mahi do u have any idea where they must have gone ?"

Mahi said sadly - "Honestly I can't think of anything now .. I knew they were gonna act impulsively but this so opposite to it. They are just giving me silent treatment.. like I know they are gonna come back .. but this is so unlike them .."

Then Dada received a mail which shocked him. He excused himself for a call. He was trying to call Virat but his phone was off and same with Rohit.

He came back having a stressed look on his face. Mahi asked - "What happened Dada?"

Dada didn't want to worry him so he said. - "Nothing it is just work"

Mahi not buying that asked again - "What's wrong.. please tell me?"

Dada said sadly - I have received mails from Rohit and Virat .. they have retired from IPL and Virat is applying for break from cricket after this Mumbai series.

Mahi said not believing it - "Dada I am in no mood of prank and jokes right now so please don't joke about it"

Dada said - "Mahi I am not joking .. see for yourself"
Saying that he passed the phone to Mahi who was just staring the mail with moist eyes.

Bhuvi said - "Dada please don't accept .. they are not in their right frame of mind right now"

Dada - "I know Bhuvi .. I am not gonna accept it until I speak to both of them"

Mahi just whispered- "What have I done ?"

Dada kept his hand on his shoulder to support him and said - "Mahi get hold of yourself .. u have two stubborn kids to handle"

Mahi asked like a child needing assurance - "Dada do u think I made a mistake"

Dada said softly - "No I don't think that but "

Ash intervened and said - "But only u should have informed both of them - Virat and Rohit. You know how they are when it comes to you .. they cannot think straight.. they react emotionally. If u would have informed and discussed with both of them then they would have been angry at you and fight with you. But now they are reacting emotionally"

Dada - "I have received message from Rohit that they will be meeting me tomorrow morning before team meeting for the series."

Dada tried calling him but it was not reachable.

Jaddu said - "May b they went because they didn't want any of us to change their decision"

Mahi said - "Means they are gonna come tomorrow"

Ash said - "Or may be today"

Bhuvi said - "What do u mean Ash?"

Ash said - "Anushka texted me to tell Bhai that Virat and Rohit have arrived at Virat's house"

Meanwhile after the news of Mahi's retirement in RohiRat's room -

Virat was still crying and not able to digest that the news was true. He was just looking at phone to confirm that it was from Mahi's official id.

Virat - "Rohit please yaha se chale kya .. I don't know I am just feeling too suffocated here. I have thought something"
Said Virat sadly still having difficulty to take it all in.
