Next morning everyone woke up including Rohit. They could hardly sleep. Whole night everyone was tossing and turning.
Mahi was holding onto Virat whenever he used to wake up from a nightmare. But the problem was that Virat was not sharing anything. Mahi tried hard asking him about what the nightmare was but Virat just kept hugging him and crying."Cheeku wake up bacha" said Mahi lovingly ruffling his hair but Virat didn't budge.
"Cheeku get up .. You should have something, u haven't had your dinner yesterday." Said Mahi softly
"Bhai please let me sleep .. I am very tired .. I just want to sleep peacefully" said Virat snuggling more.
Everyone was surprised to hear that as Virat was most energetic one. They had hardly heard from him that he is tired except if he is sick. When he says he want to sleep peacefully the thought of that itself scared everyone. Because they knew it is not okay considering the situation right now.
"Vi please wake up yaar. I haven't had anything since night. I am really hungry" whined Rohit on purpose knowing that he will wake up.
And as expected he woke up. He went to freshen up and they were having breakfast in their room only. Everyone was talking to cheer up Virat but hardly anything was working.
Virat was half of the time lost in his thoughts and not eating. Mahi took the plate in his hands and starts feeding him small bites.
"Veer tujhe yaad hai how we pranked Rohit by colouring the jacket which he thought was his the branded one" said Jaddu excitedly trying to get his reaction.
"Ha na I got scared that was the limited edition jacket which Ritz gave me" said Rohit back
Virat didn't react anything on that. He was just lost in his own thoughts. He was thinking that if he would perform in that semi final then he would not face this now. If he didn't let that catch slip from his hands even if his hand was hurt then the team would have won.
Suddenly out of nowhere Virat said to Mahi -
'Bhai if I would play atleast 20-30 runs in that match then this would not have been happened. I would not get banned'That question has shocked everyone. Here they were trying to distract Virat but all their efforts were going in vain.
'No kiddo it's nothing like that okay. The people who are framing u for this would blame you in any circumstance.' Said Mahi softly explaining him but seeing Virat's expression he understood that he didn't acknowledge that.
'Vi chachu !! Vi chachu !!' a sweet little voice came from the door. Everyone turned to see Ritz standing with Sammy.
Sammy climbed on the bed with help of Ritz and hugged Virat with her cute little hands surrounding his neck. Rohit was worried that whether Virat will hug her back or not but to his delight he did.
Sammy kept talking to Virat non stop sitting on his lap. Everyone thought that he would atleast talk to her in his childish ways but he did not. He was just smiling a bit seeing her cute antics.
Rohit got out of the room and Ritz also came with him as Sammy was keeping Virat busy.
'Is he okay Ro?' Asked Ritz while they were sitting in the lounge
'No Ritz he is far from okay ! What should I do Ritz ? I thought he will react to Sammy atleast .. but that also didn't work' said Rohit in a dejected voice burying his face in his hands.
'Ro u have to be strong ! He need u the most .. As u told me when u and Bhai were close to him atleast he cried which means u both can only let his emotions out and help him .. So be strong okay!' Said Ritz rubbing his back.
'Yes u r right ! I will call u if I need any help. Let's go to him now' said Rohit
They went inside to see Sammy sleeping on Virat's chest and Virat patting her head. She was still talking some gibberish in her sleep.
That was so looking so adorable that Ritz could not help but take a pic silently.
Everyone was silent and watching them.Then after sometime Ritika took Sammy with her and Bhuvi dropped her as She told Rohit to stay with Virat.
Rohit recieved a call and he went in the balcony to talk. Ash got a hint about what the call was. So he also went.
'I am not taking it. U cannot force me.' Said Rohit on the call
'Before the enquiry committee gives u proof before that only u announced your decision and removed him from the team. I am not doing it' said Rohit
Ash took his phone from him and answered it like Rohit. 'I am gonna think about and give a call to you'
Saying this he hanged up the call.'I am not going to do it Ash !' Said Rohit stubbornly
'Rohit calm down first okay. Listen to me .. if u are not going to do it most probably they will opt KL for it in worst case which I really don't think is a good idea for the team. U have to think practically .. I know we're in a very difficult situation right now .. but that is personal for us we cannot let it affect on professional life .. even Virat will agree with me on this' said Ash
Rohit didn't say anything on that and moved to the room. He saw Virat resting his head in Mahi bhai's shoulder while Mahi bhai narrating him their stories.
'Whose call it was Ro?' Asked Mahi
'It was the board.' Answered Rohit quietly
'What did they want ?' Jaddu asked curiously
'They want Rohit to take the captaincy for the upcoming series and further till everything gets enquired and resolved' said Ash as Rohit was just looking at Virat.
Everyone were just silent on that. Rohit was waiting for Virat to say something. No one could understand what was Virat thinking.
