Although she was sure that he would be there, but still she could see he was looking a bit nervous and restless the whole day. She would be lying if she said that she wasn't nervous herself.

It was 8 and the squad was announced in the official site.

-------------------------------------------------------

Virat gave the phone to Anushka and closed his face with the palms. He didn't want to check it by himself.

Anushka opened the official site and her eyes searched for his name. And yes, she found it. A warm smile formed on her face.

"It's there Virat, you are simply stressing out" she showed the phone.

He removed his palms and looked at the phone with excitement. His eyes glimmered at the site. There was a child-like excitement in it. He instantly engulfed Anushka in a hug.

He crushed her in his hold. She stroked his back with a smile. It's been a long time since she saw a content Virat. And she missed this hug.

After 2 weeks...

It was just a day before Virat left. He was packing his bags for the Asia Cup. He was so eager to get back on to the field. He felt like a race horse who was tied up all these days and suddenly was going to be unleashed.

Anushka helped him with the packing. And Ved , as usual had become his packing partner. He loved to pack with Virat.

"I'm thinking of putting you in this bag Vedy. Chalega mere saath?" Virat asked tickling him.

"No. Mumma" he shrieked embracing Anushka on her legs.

"Oh...I think your son is packing to send me off quickly, so that he gets time with you" Virat chuckled.

Anushka came and sat near him. He looked at her with a smile, eagerly waiting to hear what she was gonna say.

"Ye le jaao apne saath" she gave a miniature idol of lord Ganesh. He received it with a smile. He packed it in a pouch and kept it inside the bag.

"I won't disappoint you Anu. I trusted you all the way, now it's time for you to trust me, trust the strength you gave me. Just sit back and relax" he said as he caressed her hair.

"Don't think about me bub. I'll be always here for you. Think about all those people who doubted you. Show them what you are made of. Show them you are not done yet. Each and every shot should be like a smack on their face. Your opponent is not just the team you are playing against, it's also the ones who put you down. I believe you " her hands were on both his shoulders. She leaned forward and gave a kiss on his cheeks.

"Surely Anu. Your soldier is ready for the war. But...why are you not coming with me ?" He asked in a sad voice.

"Because I want you to fight this alone. I don't what your mind to wander anywhere. Just the game. We'll celebrate after you come. We all will be cheering for you" she affirmed.

"It's more than 2 months Anu. I won't come back after the Asia Cup. I'll be going straight for t20 WC. Why are you not doing any movies now? You said you'll sign multiple projects this time. How come you are so free suddenly?" Finally he asked something about her. She had a relief in her face. Those questions proved that he had completely came out of his depressed state. He had started to think about others.
