The Broken Soul - KL Rahul FF

Loosing mind

"What happened Jammy bhai. What ever happens, I can't ever imagine you and KL fighting. How did this happen?"asked Mahi bhai

Jammy bhai was not in a state to answer any of the questions.

"Who told , they fought?"asked Jaddu

"The hotel guys"

"Oh they must have misinterpreted the situation. No fight happened"

"Then what's all this ?"

"Actually BCCI released news of Jammy bhai being replaced by Lakshman bhai  as Indian coach permanently. They even told that ultimatum was given to Jammy bhai before World Cup. If he doesn't win the cup he will get sacked. Rah happened to see the news. He went mad." Explained Ash

Jammy bhai just started remembering what just happened while Ash was narrating it to Mahi bhai

..................

Jammy bhai just saw the news on TV about the sacking, all he could do was just pray that KL doesn't see this news now. Already he's mad about Virat's condition and this will just add on to it he thought. He just made way to KL's room cursing BCCI.

As Jammy bhai entered the room, KL was actually coming out of the room. For a moment, both of them stayed silent and numb without saying anything.

From KL's restlessness and the way he was rushing out, Jammy bhai understood that KL saw the news.

Suddenly KL just smiled and started talking

"Bhai.... These fools!! did you see the news?! Just like that they're spreading rumours bhai. Every time they do this , but this time, no bhai, we have to react. Call them and warn them to not spread any fake rumours"said KL

Jammy bhai finally decided to make him face reality. He led KL to the bed, made him sit and sat beside him.

"Rah... you have to promise me..."

KL cut it off and said.

"I'm sorry bhai, it was a big mistake,I promise I will never drink again. I know I let you and Virat down. I let everyone down, but I promise, I will make up for all of it, I'll gain back everyone's love and trust."said KL, keeping his head low.

"You never lost anyone's love and trust Rah." Jammy bhai couldn't help saying that.

"Not the same anymore no bhai? ......"KL asked with a faint smile.

"It's nothing like that Rah..."

"Whatever, leave all that aside and enquire about who is spreading this false rumour. They've crossed all the limits."said KL

"It's not a false rumour Rah, it's true and it's happening."said Jammy bhai looking away from KL's eyes.

"Bhai, stop joking.... This is not true. I know."

Jammy bhai just nodded with teary eyes.

"You... can't... go anywhere!!!! I won't leave you!!..."he cried hugging Jammy bhai, tightly.

Ash who was there in adjacent room came hearing the noise.

"Ash.. Look what nonsense is happening and bhai is telling it's true!!! " said KL pulling him into the room.

"It's the truth KL.. you have to accept it."said Ash

KL just shook his head and went on to the sofa and sat there.

"Let him take some time..."said Ash stopping Jammy bhai who was about to go to KL.

It actually took an ample amount of time for it to register in KL's mind. He was silent throughout.
But he started recollecting few things.
