The Broken Soul - KL Rahul FF

Wrong decisions and aftermath

In Shubman's room

Rohit still was awake. Shubman was sleeping.
Suddenly Rohit's phone rang.
It was Virat.

Virat - I'm outside, open the door.

Rohit -its open only, come inside. And from when on such formalities Vi?

Vi- nothing just dint want to disturb Shubi's sleep if he already slept.

Ro- wow... So much care fr his sleep and wt abt mine?!

Thats when Rohit noticed something

Rohit- why r u sweating this much? Are u ok?

Virat- mmmm....I'm ok...but I'm worried Ro....I'm really worried.

Rohit - about what ... You can tell me....

Silence.....

Rohit- About KL?

Virat- No...about Shubi...ever since Yuvi pa called and told me that incident......idk...I'm nt being able help it at all.... And I just had a bad dream about it ..

Rohit - about wt?

Virat - about Shubi... In the dream he was going to take a wrong step, luckily I saw and stopped him...

Rohit shook his head realising why Vi was restless and sweating.
He went near Virat, made him sit on sofa

Rohit- look Vi... You don't have to worry about that at all...I just had a talk with him and Shubi is very clear about it. He himself told that, it was an impulsive step and it was cos of his immaturity then. He was young them. He promised he wud never think of doing it now.

Virat- really?!!

Rohit- yes Vi...don't worry about that. But yes, he's a little upset with what all just happened, but we r here no? We will manage him.

Virat- I'll sleep here then... There I'm nt getting sleep. Saying this he laid down next to Shubman.

Rohit put blanket over them and slept next to Vi who was hugging Shubi and trying to sleep, cos ofcourse Shub was not, the only reason.
He was worried for his Rahuliya too....but dint want to show it.... Even to Rohit.

"What happened to him"?

Rohit- and don't think I believed ur lie that ur not worried about KL.... And remember one thing, tomorrow Rahul Bhai is going to break the news of him being taken off as the Coach to Kl. He will need you Vi....don't leave him alone.... It will make matters worse.

Virat- why is he going to tell Kl about it tomorrow.? Not tomorrow...he won't be able to bear it.

Rohit- till when can we all hide it from him?
Whatever it is....if ur with him, he will survive it easily. I know he did wrong, but tomorrow is crucial. Don't let him feel alone, when Rahul Bhai leaves.

Virat's worry and tension just increased with this now.... He wants to be with his Rahuliya, but he also wanted him to realise and correct his mistake and that wud only be possible if he gives him cold shoulder.

A lot of tension and dilemma, whole night Virat kept tossing on bed.

Other side, KL finally made up his mind to take that bad step.

He came to the hotel bar and ordered  drinks.

He was an occasional drinker . Which turned into an occassionally occasional drinker when he got selected to play for India.

But Rahul Bhai and Virat dint like that also and was behind KL to turn him into a teetoler like them. Kl finally gave in, ofcourse for them and himself.
He had promised them that he would never touch alcohol, but today he was ready to break it.
