They arrived for breakfast but Virat was not there. Rohit frowned at that but also was relieved a bit so that he didn't have to answer his questions..

"Where is Virat bhai?" Asked Shreyas.

"Wo he said that he is not hungry will directly join at gym session." Said Rishabh.

"He is not hungry ! What do u mean ? He didn't even had his dinner yesterday" said Mahi this time.

"Bhai I told him to come but he didn't" said Rishabh

"I will check on him" said Mahi telling others to have breakfast.

Mahi went into Virat's room to find him laying on his bed. He sat beside him and caressed his head.
"Kya baat hai Cheeku ?" Asked Mahi softly.

"Nothing I just feel tired bhai. Back is feeling stiff" said Virat shifting himself in Mahi's lap.

"Should I call physio ?" Asks Mahi concerned

"No I consulted him .. I will go for the session at the time of gym." Said Virat.

"Cheeku breakfast toh kar le .." said Mahi.

"Thodi der se karta hu bhai" said Virat shifting closer to him.

Rohit came in with breakfast after sometime to find them talking.
"Kya hua Vi u okay" asked Rohit concerned seeing his face.

"Nothing a bit back issue" said Virat getting up with Mahi's support.

"You idiot u slept the whole night in sitting position.. u could have woke me once" yelled Rohit feeling guilty.

"Ro uske wajah se kuch nahi hua hai" said Virat not wanting him to be upset.

"You are impossible Vi" said Rohit and went out of the room angrily.

"Rohit" called Mahi. "What happened to him suddenly" asked Mahi.

"He was a bit upset yesterday and then he slept which caused me go sleep in sitting position and now he thinks that he is responsible for the back pain I got" said Virat

"Is it because of that Cheeku ?" Said Mahi feeding him breakfast

"No bhai .. It's not due to that" said Virat.

"I will talk to him afterwards" said Virat laying on his stomach again.
"Cheeku before laying down eat a bit more" said Mahi.

"Nahi bhai ho Gaya mera .. I will just sleep a little bit" said Virat closing his eyes feeling a bit of tired due to that pain.

Mahi left the room to let him rest and consult the physio. Then he met Rohit in the gym with others.

"Rohit u okay ?" Asked Mahi seeing him tensed

"How's Vi ?" Asked Rohit instead

"He is okay.. he is sleeping.. and let me assure u it's not because of yesterday's sleep ok . I consulted the physio and he told me that it's different issue" said Mahi explaining it to him.

"Okay" said Rohit still not sure

"Once u done .. go and see him" said Mahi and Rohit nodded at that.

Rohit went in his room after an hour and saw him laying on his stomach. He sat beside him still feeling guilty.

"U idiot stop feeling guilty .. its not because of u." said Virat opening his eyes.

"Ya Mahi bhai told me that" said Rohit.

"Then stop sulking I am okay" said Virat getting up.

"Did u had the physiotherapy session ?" asked Rohit in concern.

"Yes done before 15 mins" said Virat.

"Let me get freshen up then we can go to the Mahi bhai's room" said Virat.

"You will not go anywhere.. physio has advised u rest" said Rohit.

"Ro mai bor ho raha hu akele" whined Virat.

"Vi kal ka match khelna hai na" said Rohit

"Yaar nahi bhi hua possible toh tu hai na .. u will make us win easily" said Virat putting his head back again on pillow.

"This pain makes me so lazy .. I just want to sleep everytime" said Virat yawning again.

"U are just finding reasons to sleep u know" said Rohit poking his cheeks

"I am not u" said Virat teasing him back.

"Chal I will get going u take rest" said Rohit getting up.

"Mat ja na Ro" said Virat.

"What's up with u today?" Said Rohit seeing him so whining suddenly

"I am so irritated with this back pain. I cant go anywhere upar se u are behaving weird" said Virat

"What do u mean weird?" Asked Rohit getting nervous.

"U are not sharing what is wrong with u ? I have been asking since yesterday" said Virat.

"It's nothing I told u .. it's just yesterday's match. Nothing else" said Rohit not wanting to say anymore.

"U sure ?" Asked Virat

"Ha na .. now turn on some movie it will pass some time" said Rohit

Before they could watch the movie .. Jassi came in.
"Ro bhaiya chalo na Mujhe kaam hai aapke sath" said Jassi

"Jassi let him stay na" said Virat not wanting him to go anywhere.

"Bhaiya please thodi der" said Jassi and dragged Rohit

"Vi Mai aata hu" said Rohit.

"Don't talk to me" said Virat angrily and turned to opposite side sulking.

Rohit and Jassi left the room. "Thanks Jassi u took me out of there nahi toh Virat question hi karta mujhe" said Rohit relieved.

"But bhaiya Mujhe sach mai kaam hai aapse" said Jassi

"Ha chal" said Rohit going with him.

Mahi entered Virat's room and saw them randomly scrolling through his phone.
"Kya hua why this foul mood" said Mahi sitting beside him.

"Bhai Dekho na Ro ko .. mere liye time hi nahi hai uske paas .. he keeps avoiding me and not sharing anything with me .. aur mai yaha bor ho raha hu" said Virat whining to him laying his head on his shoulder.

"Aisa nahi hai Cheeku manager had called him through Jassi" said Mahi explaining him.

"Bhai what did physio say I will be able to play na tomorrow" asked Virat in a low voice.

"No Cheeku he said one more day will require so that ur back feels okay .. and we can't stress it na .. Abhi we have long schedule test match bhi hai na" said Mahi softly.

"ummmm okay .. I really wanted to play" said Virat

"I know bacha but we can't take risk na" said Mahi

"Okay .. waise aap aur Ro milke jeeta hi doge Match" said Virat believing in him.
