Irreplaceable

Six

They were sitting in silence staring the sky just trying to understand what was happening around them.

Rohit saw Virat lost in thoughts, he just kept his hand on his which Virat held tightly.

Ro- Virat, why are you still allowing me to be by your side? To talk to you?
I know you are very upset and angry with me!
He asked as this thought was on back of his mind from so long.

Vi- It's right that I am upset and angry at you for not listening to me at that time!
But I am selfish, because I need you Rohit!
I know if I for a sec got alone in this, I would not be able to survive!
He said staring the sky.

Ro- Don't say like that please. It hurts even to hear that!
He said gripping his hand tightly.

'From when did you start smoking Virat bhai?'

Jassi had arrived on the terrace for fresh air after his interaction with Virat. He saw something by Virat's side. And asked him that. He was shocked by that and didn't like it even a bit.

Vi- From 2 months! It's not regular, just when I am extremely stressed!
He said with a neutral face with no expression.

Ro- Don't worry, he is gonna try to cut it out completely!
He said seeing Jassi's concerned face.

Jassi- But what stress..
He was gonna ask but stopped hearing an unknown voice.

Aman- Arrangements are done, we have to shift her there. Ritika mam called.
He said looking at his phone typing something.

Virat took phone from Rohit.

Vi- Ritika what happened?
He asked being stressed.

Rohit kept his hand on his shoulder.

Ritika- Doctor said there is no improvement. We have to shift her there. I am .. I don't know how ..
She fumbled being scared.

Virat- How much time we do have for shifting?
He asked trying to get a grip on himself.

Ritika- Doctor has told that 1-2 days maximum.

Vi- Listen to me carefully Ritika, Aman will be reaching to you till morning.
He will travel with you. I know it's difficult for u to manage alone.
Me and Rohit will reach Florida till next morning and see everything there.

Ritika- I am scared Vi! I don't know if I can!
She mumbled.

Ro- Rits you can do this. Don't worry Aman will be reaching in the morning. Just manage the night. Okay?
He took the phone from Virat.

Ritika- Okay Ro!
She said and hanged up the call.

Jassi was standing all shocked and confused not knowing anything what they were talking about. And who was this guy?
He never heard of him.

Vi- Aman u know what to do right. Do I need to repeat myself?
He asked trying to control his shaking voice.

'Aman is his name, but who is he? And how he is so close to Virat bhai and Rohit bhai that they are telling him to do something for them!' Jassi thought.

Aman- I know sir, I am leaving in 10 mins.

Vi- Aman, have something first and then u have a long journey.

Aman- I will eat in flight.

Ro- Aman, we know u don't eat in flight. So have ur dinner and then go.
He said firmly to which Aman agreed.

Jassi- Bhai I can go with him if u want and if u are comfortable. I can help!
He said looking at Virat and Rohit.

Aman- It's not required, I can handle everything there!
He said not wanting anyone to intrude his work.
