The words hung in the air, heavy and undeniable Virat's face drained of color his eyes growing impossibly wider. His mouth opened and closed soundlessly like a fish out of water.. the secret is out, the truth he had barely admitted to himself.. was now laid bare.

Virat remained frozen in place his body unmoving except for the quick rise and fall of his chest. His eyes which are usually so expressive have now appeared blank and unfocused. The silence lingered interrupted only by the sound of his quick shallow breaths.

Sourav's expression softened even more as he observed the effect his words had on Virat. His breathing slowed and he waited quietly, giving Virat the time he needed to process everything.

Virat's gaze finally met Sourav's, his expression is a silent plea for understanding and help he couldn't put into words. His lips trembled but no words came out. He stood there vulnerable, with the truth of his feelings clear on his face.

Sourav's eyes softened with compassion as he carefully stepped closer, hugging Virat tightly and Virat remained still.. weighed down by the burden of his revealed secret.

The silence was thick with unspoken emotions, Virat's secret is out now!

Sourav took a deep breath his eyes softening with empathy as he looked at Virat's tear-stained face. He gently guided Virat to sit down, his hand resting supportively on the younger man's shoulder.

Sourav began speaking to Virat in a gentle voice revealing something important about Mahi and Prisha. Virat eyes are red-rimmed with a mix of curiosity and apprehension listened closely. Sourav recounted how Mahi and Prisha had met back in 2003 during a meeting which was arranged by Goel. Prisha a simple girl who wasn't particularly interested in cricket had instantly connected with Mahi. Their relationship blossomed and they were deeply in love for about two years. However, in 2005 tragedy struck when Prisha was involved in a serious accident. She was in a coma for two years and for a long time everyone feared they had lost her. Miraculously! Prisha survived and when she finally regained consciousness, her memory was initially lost. But over time, fragments of her past began to return, slowly bringing back only some  memories of her life before the accident. Virat's shock and sympathy were evident as he absorbed the weight of Sourav's words.

Virat's eyes brimming with unshed tears locked onto Sourav's.. his voice trembled as he spoke "dada.. please help me." The weight of his emotions visibly crushing him.

Sourav's expression softened immediately his eyes filling with paternal concern. He leaned forward placing a comforting hand on Virat's arm "of course Baccha.. I'm here for you" his voice was warm and reassuring.

Virat's gaze dropped to the floor, his fingers fidgeting nervously in his lap. He swallowed hard before continuing, his voice strained "dada I want to go home, abhi jaana hai."

Sourav's brow creased a flash of worry crossing his face. "Virat kid it's not.." he began his tone gentle but hesitant.

Before he could finish Virat's head snapped up, his eyes wide and pleading. His words tumbled out in a rush.. tinged with desperation "please dada, main nahi rukh paunga.. i need to clear my mind and to be honest.. it's breaking me to see him with someone else.. wo phir ayegi unke pass aur mai.. I won't be able to take it aur nah mai Ms se kuch bol sakta hoon yaa lad sakta hoon, it's just me and my feelings for him."
