Acceptance heals everything

Part 42. Much more worse

"We got to discuss something with you" Shreyas said, KL looked up to see Jassi by his side and Shreyas sitting in front of him. 

"Now?" KL asked composing himself. 

"yes now, I am afraid it would be too late otherwise, its about Rohit bhai and Virat bhai", Jassi said explaining him. 

KL nodded at that, "let me tell MS we are skipping practice and will do in the evening", he said. 

They went to a quiet place and got corner where no one could see them, Jassi placed order for everyone. 

"K? eat something, you haven't been taking care of urself", Shreyas said as he was lost in thoughts. 

"What do you think? We haven't been paying attention?" Jassi asked raising his eyebrows. 

KL sighed, "K, we surely don't know anything about Virat bhai and we never forced you to tell, we even lied to the seniors that we didn't know you were in touch. We knew it of course", Shreyas said. 

"Who else knew?" KL asked as he promised Virat not to involve anyone. 

"Only Shreyas and I, dont you worry and we dont know the details, we will never ask as it's not your place to tell us, just know we are here. You can rely on us", Jassi said keeping his hand on his shoulder. 

KL just buried his head in his hands, Shreyas side hugged him to which he leaned into. 

"I am so scared and worried about Virat bhai", he said shedding some tears almost after 8 months. 

Shreyas rubbed his back to console him. Once KL calmed down they made him eat something and had it themselves. 

"KL, Rohit bhai called us at the farmhouse the other day" Jassi began once they were done. 

Jassi and Shreyas explained how Rohit wanted to know what was going on with Virat. 

"We told him to talk with Virat bhai but he knows there is something more to it" Jassi said explaining the whole situation. 

"What is it?" KL asked as he noticed Shreyas and Jassi looking at each other. 

Shreyas, "See we know both of them trusted us and told us things be it whatever but we have to help them together K", he explained. 

KL got into thinking about that before they could discuss more on it, KL's phone rang. 

"Rohit?", he answered, Shreyas and Jassi looked surprised. 

"I am coming" KL said and three of them left from there.

Virat's POV:

Finally, thanks to KL I could calm myself down, I have to get grip on my emotions otherwise how will I help Rohit. Where the hell did I keep my tablets? 

He went in the other room and searched in the drawer, he found it there. 

Rohit's POV:

I managed to upset him, again. I am trying so hard to not let my insecurities get in between our conversations, specially with Virat. I noticed he looked more disturbed, he was normal in the morning but now again back to the old Virat it seemed. He went in the washroom to splash water on his face. I decided to ask him. 

"Is everything alright?", asked Rohit, seeing him wiping his face. 

"Yes all good, any preference for afternoon meal?", Virat asked to which Rohit nodded in no. 

As Virat was gonna leave the room, "Vi please wait, I want to talk to you", Rohit said. 

Virat sat on the chair beside his bed. 

"Look Vi, I am--" Rohit began but Virat stopped him, "you don't need to say sorry Rohit, I understand. It's fine, dont worry yourself over it", he said assuring him. 

Rohit wanted to stop him as he got up to check the food arrangements. But before he could say anything, he looked at Virat who was holding his head. 

"Vi?" Rohit called but Virat didn't reply. 

After a sec, Virat was unconscious on the floor hitting his head. 

"Virat!" he yelled but there was no response. 

Rohit was shocked and scared, he couldn't do anything to stop it. 

Rohit pushed himself forward a bit to take his phone from the side table, tears made its way through his cheeks as he was having so much difficulty. 

"Please, please" He tried again and finally got hold of his phone. 

He kept taking breaths to calm himself, he dialled KL's number with his hands shaking so much. 

"Hello K, please come fast-- Vi, he got unconscious, he is not responding. His forehead is bleeding. I don't have anyone else to call to who can help, please hurry", Rohit blabbered worriedly. 

"I am coming" he heard KL saying and hanged up the call. 

Rohit tried to get down with support of the bed somehow but it was not possible. 

He closed his eyes in frustration, feeling so helpless, he hit his legs with his hand to show atleast some sensation to help his friend. 

"Why God?" He could only think that at the moment and watch his friend lying unconscious on the floor and him being a cripple sitting there. 

How much more worse can it get?
