Acceptance heals everything

Part 44. Disoriented

It was after one hour Virat woke up. He felt pain in his head, he touched it and saw bandage over there.

"Don't touch it, you will remove and hurt it more" he heard a voice from his side.

"Ro?" He asked seeing blur image of his.

"Yes it me, get up now. I am hungry waiting for you since an hour" Rohit said to which Virat noticed time and it was past lunch time.

"You didn't have anything till now, what happened? How?" asked Virat getting up quickly only to get a head rush.

Rohit held his hand to steady him somehow.

"Thik hai?" Rohit asked concerned to which Virat nodded.

"How did I get hurt?" asked Virat touching his bandage.

"We will discuss it afterwards, get freshen up, we can have lunch then and no denying today" Rohit said sternly yet softly.

KL entered and helped Virat, "when did you come?" He asked.

Shreyas and Jassi were shocked by that as Virat didn't have track of events.

"Just sometime back, don't wet the bandage okay?" KL said. Virat nodded at that.

Shreyas and Jassi arranged lunch for both of them.

"You both have the lunch, we are outside. Do call us if you need anything bhai" Shreyas said to which Rohit agreed to.

"Have your lunch, I am outside" KL said making Virat sit beside Rohit.

"Rah?" Virat called seeing him little disturbed than usual.

"We will talk about it later Virat" KL said to which Virat understood that something has happened.

KL left the room, "What did I do?" asked Virat to Rohit as KL looked a little angry on Virat.

"You fell unconscious and hit your head on the floor" Rohit said forwarding him a bite.

Virat looked at him a little shocked by that.

"Have it" Rohit said as he was staring at him.

"It's a dream, right?" asked Virat not able to believe it that Rohit is making him eat like old days.

Rohit held his hand made him have the bite, "it's definitely not a dream Vi", he said assuring him.

"But I have always seen it in my dreams and when I open my eyes then you vanish", said Virat not able to believe.

Rohit closed his eyes not able to hear it.

"Sometimes with my open eyes also you vanish", said Virat not understanding whether it was illusion or reality. 

Rohit kept the plate on side table, he held his hand, "What do you mean Vi? Tell me clearly", asked Rohit. 

"Ro, I am not understanding whether this is reality or hallucination, I always used to see you and then you were not there", said Virat being scared as he was loosing track of events. 

"Vi this is real okay, believe me, you are here with me", said Rohit firmly. 

"But Ro", asked Virat again. 

Rohit finally asked, "Do you trust me Vi?"

Rohit really wanted to know if he trusts him now.

"Yes" Virat answered to which Rohit breathed a sigh of relief, "so trust me, this is real, I am with you" Rohit said. 

Rohit noticed one thing how Virat seemed extremely disoriented. The cold, not getting affected look and demeneour was long gone. This was not his Vi even, he was someone else. The medication effect was still there. 

"Vi tell me, what's wrong?" Rohit asked as KL had said. 

"I dont know Ro, there is no one you know, I was alone. Anushka, she said she don't know me. I didn't know where to go", Virat complained like a child. 

"You are not alone anymore Vi" Rohit said making him eat his meal. 

"You also eat Ro", said Virat.

"KL calm down, He may have taken it by mistake" Shreyas tried to explain him as he talked rudely to Virat. 

"No this is the third time Shrey, he always does this you know, when he doesn't get any solution he does this. I am gonna hide his pills now", KL said worried for Virat. 

"But what if it doesn't help K?" Jassi asked. 

"I dont care, just imagine what if he overdosed, it would be worse Jassi", KL said taking the medications and keeping it in his car. 

"But you cannot give him silent treatment K, everyone has done that with him, you can't" Shreyas explained to which KL agreed. 

"I just hope Rohit bhai talks to him", said Jassi with hope.
