Picking up Broken Pieces ✅

17.

Rohit sat on the bed continuously looking at the phone waiting for Virat to call him back.
Jassi and Shreyas on either of his side.

'Mahi bhai its 1 am. He is still not here'
Jassi said worriedly.

'I know Jassi ... let the others come if they know something'
Mahi said pacing in the room on the phone continuously in touch with Bhuvi.

'Bhai humne sab jagah dekh liya .. he is now where in the hotel nor nearby garden or something'
Bhuvi said arriving with Jaddu, Ash, Rah and Rishabh.

'Kaha chale Gaye Virat bhaiya'
Rishabh said being tensed. Rah just side hugged him.

'Hello ! Ya this is he ! Ohh okay .. Thanks'
Said Ash on the call he recieved.

'It was the receptionist.. Virat arrived downstairs and he is in the lobby'
Said Ash and everyone including Rohit reached there.

They saw Virat sitting on the couch with support of someone.
'Virat' called Mahi and the person turned.

'Hey MS'

'Hi Maxwell, Hi Starc' greeted Mahi seeing both of them with Virat.

'What are you both doing here ?'
Rohit asked seeing them with Virat.

'We came to drop Virat here. He seemed to be a little dizzy'
Starc said Seeing all of them worried.

'What happened to him? Why is he hurt ?'
Rohit asked sitting beside Virat on the couch who was semi conscious and was having bandage on his forehead.

'Ro'
Whispered Virat.

'What happened Maxwell ?'
Asked Rahul this time.

'We don't know exactly what happened. We were having coffee when he entered the cafe and took the coffee. He was so lost that when we called him he didn't respond'
Maxwell said beginning how they saw him.

'We were almost done. When we came out we saw him on the sideline holding his head. It was bleeding. We took him to the hospital and they gave some medicine which made him a little dizzy'
Said Starc narrating them.

'We just brought him here after that. He recognised us but couldn't say anything. The medicines were pretty strong'
Maxwell said to them.

'Thank you so much.'
Mahi said to them.

They acknowledged and left the hotel. Bhuvi and Rohit helped Virat to his room.

'You all go and sleep. It's late. I will explain everything in the morning'
Mahi said and everyone left.

Only Rohit and Mahi were in Virat's room.

'Why did he go alone ?'
Rohit asked Mahi

'I don't know Ro may b he needed some time to process all this.'
Mahi said to Rohit when he himself didn't know what was going on Virat's mind.

'Ro u know him, how emotional he is when it comes to you. His mind stops working. May b he just went to a walk to clear his head'
Mahi said to Rohit.

'Itna sa dimag hai iske paas .. usme itni overthinking'
Rohit said caressing his head.

Mahi just chuckled at that statement.

As Rohit touched his head .. Virat half woke up and mumbled - 'Ro u here ?'
'Ya I am' said Rohit.

'Cheeku how r u feeling' asked Mahi sitting on the other side.

Virat didn't answer it he just held Rohit's hand and closed his eyes again.
Mahi and Rohit just smiled at his gesture.

Next morning Rohit and Mahi woke up and saw Virat still sleeping.
He woke up after sometime and sat resting his head on headboard.

Rohit and Mahi were gonna ask him how he was feeling but stopped when the whole team entered.

'Virat u okay ?'
Rahul asked looking at him.

'Virat where did u go yesterday ?'
Bhuvi asked this time annoyed by his carelessness.

'Virat bhaiya aap thik toh ho?
Rishabh asked.

'Virat and Rohit u both tell us what's going on with you two now'
Yelled Jinks and Ash to their opposite nature.

Everyone started asked them together not even bothering to care if they understand that.

With all this noise Virat just held his head and hissed.
'Enough' yelled Rohit as he saw Virat in pain.

'What's wrong with u guys ? Speaking all at once and shouting .. he has just woke up at least let him breath'
Rohit said this in complete worry and anger.

He was gonna say something more but Mahi held his arm as he saw all the teammates felt bad hearing that tone. Rohit saw it too.

He just shrugged Mahi's arm and left the room as he was not able to control his anger.

Mahi signalled Shreyas to go after him.
'Go in the team room all of you. I am coming there.'
Mahi said and everyone obeyed that without a question.

Here Virat still didn't register yet what was going on. He opened his eyes and saw Mahi there.

'Bhai' he called to get his attention.

'Cheeku ? Bacha how are u feeling ?' Mahi asked softly.

'Don't know. Those medicines were very strong I guess.. still not able to handle it.'
Virat said closing his eyes in irritation.

'Try to take some more rest Cheeku'
Mahi said not wanting to bother him by asking his whereabouts last night.

Virat just slept again. Jassi sat with him as he knows the whole thing.

'Mahi bhai .. Do u really think the team should know?'
Jassi asked knowing where was Mahi going.

'Yes Jassi I think it's time they know .. and it will help them understanding the behaviour of Virat and Rohit. Atleast they won't feel bad if one of them yelled at them.'
Mahi said knowing that they will recover with the help of the team.

'You know it better'
Jassi said knowingly.

'Take care of him. I will check on Rohit first and then the team'
Mahi said leaving the room.

'Rohit bhaiya calm down'
Shreyas said seeing him pacing in the room from past five mins.

'What's happening? First this stupid panic situation and now this anger .. uggghhh ! This is all so frustrating!'
Rohit said this pacing around not able to have control over his feelings.

'Sit down Ro'
Mahi said sternly yet softly entering the room.

'No need to feel guilty about anything. Try to calm urself.'
Mahi said knowing him.

'Rohit try and remind urself what calms u .. try to find that place, person or anything. You have to get out of this .. you have to recover'
Mahi said softly explaining it to him.

Rohit nodded at him. 'I think we should tell the others'
Rohit said in a low voice.

'Don't worry about it. I will handle everything'
Mahi said not wanting him or Virat to get more stressed.

'How is Virat ?'
Rohit asked seeing him leaving the room.

'He is sleeping.. we know how he is when he has any tablets.. it's too heavy for him.'
Mahi said.

'Don't worry Jassi is with him. Take some rest urself and have breakfast. Shreyas make sure he has his meal'
Mahi said and left the room.

He took a deep breathe before entering into the team room.
