Picking up Broken Pieces ✅

3.

In Rohit's room -

He was feeling really restless from the time Mahi bhai said that no one can replace him in Virat's life. But was that really true.

Rohit was pacing in the room thinking about all the things which were bothering him. He really wanted to talk to Virat about it.

He scrolled through his phone and saw the same article mentioning Virat and him not being on talking terms and being compared to Virat and Ab bond.

"Ugghhhhh !! I should stop reading these articles" groaned Rohit angrily.

But unknowingly he scrolled more where his performances were being criticised and compared to Virat.

He never believed in comparisons,he hated it. But reading that he didn't perform well was little disturbing for him.

He just decided to shut this off and lay down on his bed trying to get some sleep as he lost the appetite to eat.

Jassi came into the room and saw a completely dark room.

"Rohit bhaiya" called Jassi when he moved towards bed as it was not that late to sleep.

But he didn't get any answer. So he just silently sat scrolling through his phone as he was not yet sleepy.

After an hour Jassi decided to sleep. He could hear some mumbling voices from Rohit. But he didn't understand what he was trying to say. He shook him awake.

"Kya hua Bhaiya u okay ?" Asked Jassi seeing Rohit waking up and was sweating so much.

"Nothing Jassi don't worry" said Rohit gulping water.

"Bhaiya should I call Virat bhai or Mahi bhai" asked Jassi still unsure.

"No no don't tell Virat anything he will panic unnecessarily" said Rohit immediately.

"I am fine don't worry" said Rohit.

"Bhaiya pakka na" asked Jassi unsure yet.

"Ha Jassi" said Rohit assuring him.

"Want to watch something" asked Rohit to change the topic.

"Sure" said Jassi and they watched random episodes. Jassi slept after sometime on Rohit's shoulder.

Rohit was totally lost thinking what had happened. He actually got a nightmare. He could not believe it. He have to stop thinking about all this stupid trolls and articles.

"Agar Mahi bhai ya Virat ko pata chala ki i am reading these toh I will have it from them"

"Acha hua aaj Virat yaha Nahi hai .. aise Mujhe dekhta toh pura hotel ko jagah deta"

"But it's really strange I never felt like this before." Thought Rohit

He tried to get some sleep which was surprisingly far away from him. He just closes his eyes not to think much about it.

Next morning to Jassi's surprise Rohit was already awake and freshened up.

Jassi remembered what had happened yesterday night. He made up his mind to ask Rohit bhaiya about it. He went and got freshen up. He sat beside Rohit.

Jassi asked softly - "Bhaiya are you okay?"

Rohit who was again engrossed in the phone staring at useless tweets.

Jassi nudged him and asked again - "Rohit bhaiya u okay na ? Where are u lost ?"

Rohit answered - "Nowhere ! I am fine Jassi"

"Bhaiya what happened yesterday ? And I know there is something which is bothering u. Please share it with me." said Jassi with pure concern for Rohit.

"Its nothing Jassi u are worrying unnecessarily" saidd Rohit assuring him.

"Please bhaiya dont lie to me." said Jassi softly

"Okay Jassi but u have to promise that u will not tell anyone specially Virat" said Rohit

"But why Bhai ? Virat bhai can help you" said Jassi not knowing the reason.

"Jassi u dont know him as much as I do. He is anyway dealing with lot of things. And I really dont want to worry him with my additional problems." said Rohit not wanting to bother Virat.

"Okay bhaiya I promise you" said Jassi half-hearterdly

"Actually I dont know why from yesterday or from 2-3 days I am feeling very restless. It started when Virat lost the IPL and again people start comparing him with me. And same when we lost or I didnt perform in the T20 WC then it was the same. That is really getting on my nerves." said Rohit helplessly

"But bhaiya it does not affect your friendship anyway .. if u are thinking like that" said Jassi

"Yes I know Jassi .. I thought that may be it can change. But when Virat called me at the night of final after they lost and talked whole night I understood my importance in his life." said Rohit fondly remembering that

"Then why are u thinking like this Bhaiya" asked Jassi.

"I dont know Jassi .. u know yesterday Mahi bhai told me that I should not get jealous of Ab because no one could take my place in his life. But I cannot stop myself from thinking that how much of that is true" said Rohit sadly.

"Bhaiya dont think like that. Mahi bhai is saying correct that no one can take your place in Virat bhai's life" said Jassi.

"I hope so" said Rohit.

"Chalo now lets have breakfast.. U didnt had dinner too" said Jassi

"Ro .. kaha hai yaar .. kal se room mai .. how much u will sleep ?" said Virat barging in.

"Mai room mai nahi hu toh u are taking advantage" said Virat to Rohit.

To that Rohit and Jassi just chuckled at his childish behaviour.

"Aisa hi hai Vi .. abhi mai jyada so sakta hu" said Rohit grinning at him.

"Chup ha Ro .. only this tour. Aur waise bhi I can come in anytime and drag you from the bed and u know i can do it in many ways" said Virat mischieveously.

"What do u mean by this tour bhaiya?" asked Jassi purposely

"Nothing ... Jassi" said Virat looking at Rohit.

Rohit just slid his arm around Virat and they went for breakfast laughing on some non-sense joke.

Jassi was thinking that it will be very difficult to hide it all from Virat bhai.
