He even had to hurt his wife who was everything for him, in the process. He won't be able to forgive himself if he falls to that dark space again.

"It's too late Rohit. Meri Kami ki aadat daal lo" he inhaled a deep breath and stood up.

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

"Lekin kyun? Why can't you come back?" Rohit asked in desperation.

"You won't understand " Virat replied.

"Why not !?" Rohit asked curiously.

"Kyunki Jispe beet'ti hai, wohi jaanta hai. You haven't gone through what I did. I did not join Australia because they promised me a fixed position, they promised me a captaincy or they promised me I'll have freedom. I joined them because they knew how to respect a person who's working for them. Even after knowing , how well I did for India and how I was the captain here, they still kept trials for me, they examined me, only then they selected. I don't have any problem with that. But after that, they gave respect to my work. Ehsaan- faramosh nhi hai wo log. Kaam ho gaya tho nikaal diya" Virat opened up to Rohit.

"We are so sorry for that, Now what do you want Virat? You want respect right?" Rohit asked.

"Respect is not asked, it has to be given naturally. And why are you sorry Ro, you didn't do anything, my animosity is not against you or any player. It's against the board. I'm here for IPL only because RCB needs me. Otherwise I won't come anywhere near the board.And for what I want, I just want some peace and quiet, which I'm getting in Australia. They have trusted me, and I won't let them down." Virat gave the ultimatum.

Rohit lowered his head and stood there defeated. He didn't know what else could bring him back. Virat had completely changed for him. There was so much pain and vengeance inside him.

Virat's eyes softened looking at Rohit's condition. He never thought his brother would be in such a situation because of him. But there's no looking back. He went and hugged Rohit tightly.

"Sorry Ro, I know what you are feeling. You might be thinking how difficult it is to convince me to play for India again , do you know how difficult it was for me to convince myself, to not playing for India? All these people who are booing at me, I deserve it, I let them down. But the board doesn't deserve me Ro, they completely broke me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I might not be able to come back." He expressed still staying in the hug. Rohit couldn't believe what pain he might've went through. Rohit parted and held his shoulders

"Won't you be able to forgive them. I know what they did was wrong, and you know the people who did you dirty have all stepped down or are removed from their positions. As far as I know even the board wants you back. Can't you give another chance to them?" Rohit pushed his luck one more time.

"If they are just hurting me, I don't mind that much. I would've given another chance. But their attacks on me was affecting my family as well Ro. Tum tho jaante ho Anushka ko, how much she had to already suffer because of me. After that, because of their constant games on me, she still had to suffer. Every time I break down, she handles everything and puts me back on my feet. And they come again to knock me down. Uss bechari ki kya galti hai Ro? Why should she suffer for all these things. What was her mistake, that she married me?" Virat's eyes began to overbrim with tears. Rohit could only imagine what he was going through.

"Because of all these things, I was not able to reciprocate the love she was giving me. Badi mushkil se sab kuch theek hua hai ab. Please don't make it more difficult for me. If I go down that path again and things go haywire, I'm afraid... I'm afraid she might give up on me" his voice broke as he expressed that.
