Picking up Broken Pieces ✅

18.

Mahi entered the team room. No one asked him anything and just waited for him to say whatever he has to.

'Listen whatever Rohit said or in what tone he said .. don't mind that okay. He was just worried for Virat.'
Mahi said the first thing which need to cleared from their mind.

'We understand Bhai, at that time we were just shocked by it.'
Jaddu said understanding about his two idiot friends.

'Bhai what's going on with them ?'
Bhuvi asked calmly.

'I can't go into the details. You all saw how Rohit is panicking about some things and how Virat is also silent unlike is nature'
Mahi said describing the things.

'It's just they are going through some things.. like The trolls got into Rohit's head .. the constant comparison with Virat .. it affected him. Hence he distanced himself from Virat'
Mahi said explaining Rohit's side.

'In all this as Virat was dealing with recent RCB loss and then Wc t20 match. His back pain and everything.. he just missed out on what's happening with Rohit and Rohit too lied to him. That's disturbing him and basically he is blaming himself for Rohit's condition.'
Mahi said explaining Virat's side.

'I have just said this because I want you guys to understand them .. it's tough for them emotionally.. so if they something to you don't take it to heart. They won't be able to handle it'
Continued Mahi

'What about Shreyas and Jassi ?'
Rahul asked noticing that they were not here.

'As Jassi was staying with Rohit and Shreyas somehow got to know and they are helping Rohit. Due to which they had to lie to Virat and for that Virat is angry at them.'
Mahi said explaining things.

'Bhai u don't worry we understand and we will be careful what to say'
Rishabh said breaking the silence.

'But just be careful .. don't make them feel different .. act normal but be careful about ur words.. specially with Ro'
Mahi said them to which everyone agreed.

'Let Rohit get okay I am gonna smack his head for reading these trolls'
Jaddu said in typical Jaddu style.

In Virat's room -

Virat got up after half n hour.
'U okay bhai ?' Asked Jassi seeing him awake.

'Ya I am okay'
Virat said getting up from bed.

'Do u need anything Bhai?'
Jassi asked seeing him getting up.

'No I am just going to freshen up a bit. You can go now I am okay'
Virat said neutrally.

Jassi felt really sad hearing that. But he knew that he was at mistake. He was determined to get the forgiveness today.

'Bhaiya please I am really sorry for I lied to you. Rohit bhaiya said to me and I couldn't say no to him'
Jassi said sadly trying to make him understand.

'U know Jassi among all the kids everyone is special to me.. but they hide somethings sometimes from me and I scold them after that. From all of them I never expected u to lie to me..'
Virat said being disappointed to which Jassi just looked down.

'I am upset with Shreyas too but not as much as i am with u'
Virat said again.

'U love Harry as I love Rohit correct ? He is best friend right ?'
Virat asked him and Jassi nodded.

'Then for a sec imagine yourself at my place and then Harry at Rohit's. And if Rahul or some other person lied to you about it .. will it be easy to forgive ?'
Virat asked him to understand why he was not ready.

Jassi just looked down understanding what he was feeling right now.

'Will u feel bad as I am feeling right now?'
Virat said emotionally to which Jassi nodded.

'That's what I thought'
Virat said and went to the bathroom.

Jassi just left the room with tears in his eyes. He collided with Bhuvi.

'What's wrong Jassi ? Did Virat say something?'
Bhuvi asked Jassi who was clearly disturbed.

'Nahi bhaiya aise kuch nahi hai'
Jassi said faking a smile wiping his tears.

'Jassi u don't need to hide okay. I know u are upset because Virat is angry at you.'
Bhuvi said to him keeping his hand on his shoulder.

'Bhaiya I swear I never meant to hurt him like that'
Jassi said sadly.

'I know Jassi it's just a hard time okay for both of them'
Bhuvi said softly to which Jassi nodded understanding.

'Common let's have some breakfast'
Bhuvi said taking him to dining room.

Rohit made his way to Virat's room wanting to see him if he is okay.
He entered and saw Virat cleaning his wound but not able to do it properly.

He made his way.. took the cotton from his hand and made him sit.
'I will do it myself Rohit'
Virat said not wanting to trouble him.

Mahi came and stood at the door seeing them talking. He thought it was better not to interrupt them.

'Shut up and sit down'
Rohit said sternly.

Virat sat and saw how Rohit took a deep breath and then started cleaning his wound.

'Is it paining ?'
Rohit asked seeing them wound.

'No it's not'
Virat said hiding that it was paining.

'Why did u go alone ? What happened exactly ? How u got this ?'
Rohit asked all at once knowing what was wrong.

'It just happened .. Don't worry about it. I didn't mean to disturb you with this'
Virat said not wanting him to worry.

'It's not about disturbing me .. what would have happened if Maxwell or Starc didn't find u'
Rohit said bandaging his wound.

'Someone else would have found me'
Virat said casually.

'Someone else !!! Seriously !!! Where is ur damn phone? U know we have been calling u non stop !
Yelled Rohit In worry and anger

'Umm I guess it got dropped when the car hit me'
Virat blurted out how he got hurt rather not caring about the phone right now

'U got hit by a car !!! Are u mad ? Can't u walk properly ? Or somebody needs to teach u how to walk on the sidelines'
Shouted Rohit.

'Stop yelling Rohit'
Said Virat holding his head.

'And fyi it was just slide push by that car as I was not attentive I lost my balance... it's not hurt that much... just a concussion I had and that stupid medicines .. that's why I was so out of it'
Virat said all this calmly explaining to him.

'And now calm down .. I can hear your breathing till here'
Virat said trying to calm him down.

'I am trying'
Rohit said

'Do u want me to go ?'
Virat said not wanting to trouble him.

'No I don't'
Rohit said wanting him to stay close to him after yesterday's incident where no one could find Virat.

Mahi came inside and made Rohit sit on the bed. Rubbed his back and gave him water.
Virat just stood beside him and saw that.

'U both try to get a grip on yourselves now.'
Mahi said this sternly yet softly.

'We are trying Bhai'
They both said together.
