Virat was driving to Aman's house. Rohit was sitting in passenger seat thinking what did I do now?

Ro - Vi baat kar na plz what did I do ?

He asked seeing him giving silent treatment.

Ro - Vi yaar ...

Vi - What did u do ? Why u would say it like that I am here alive! Do u know what a stupid thing it was ? How many times I have told u not to say these things!

He said being upset about it.

Ro - Arey I said that casually na! Don't get upset about it now.

Vi - Ro it's not casual for me get that in your head!

He said sternly.

Ro - Acha baba sorry! I will not repeat it ever again.

He said softly understanding him.

Vi - How are you ? Like after talking to all of them ! How do u feel ?

He asked after sometime.

Ro - I feel fine only a bit uneasy I felt because it was like a bit difficult u know suddenly trying from our side to console them.

Vi - Ya I get it.

He said feeling the same.

Ro - We should call Nupur, Prithi and talk to them also.

He said remembering it.

Vi - Yes we will but not today. Let's call them here once we sort out the issue between Bhai and Bhabhi.

He said feeling tired already with all the things happened.

Ro - Ya u r right ! U okay na ? U look really tired.

He said getting out of the car as they reached Aman's place.

Vi - I am okay, just a little exhausted about all this.

He said feeling tired suddenly but didn't say much to Rohit not wanting to worry him.

Ro - Are u sure it's just that ?

He asked not believing him.

Vi - Ya it's just that.

They rang the doorbell and Jassi opened the door.

Vi - Hey Jassi, all okay ?

Jassi - Yes bhai, don't worry.

They both went into Aman's room and saw him reading a book.

Ro - Hey Aman how are you feeling now ? Did Jassi trouble you ?

He asked playfully.

Jassi - Bhai why will I trouble him ?

Aman - I am okay. But Sir ... Jassi is real strict u know !

Rohit - Ya I know he is just like ur Virat sir. He is also being so strict with me.

He said sitting beside him.

Vi - Ro !! Don't say anything about my kiddo.

He said siding with Jassi.

Jassi - Aman why do u call them sir till now ... You can call them Bhai like me ?

He asked noticing it from yesterday.

Virat and Rohit would love that so they were looking at him for answers.

Aman - Ummmm I don't know I am just habitual of calling them Sir I guess.

Rohit - But u can try na!

Aman - Means u don't have any problem if I call you that.

Vi - Why will we have problem when we have told u that u are our little brother just like Jassi and other kids.

Aman - U know they will kill me if they hear this!

Ro - Ohh their jealousy is harmless don't worry about that!

Aman - Ummm is it okay I call u 'Bhai' when only we are there like Jassi and u both and sir at other times.

Vi - Ofcourse however u feel comfortable!

He said sitting on the couch beside Jassi.

Aman just kept his head on Rohit's shoulder continued reading the book.

Jassi - Where did u both go ?

He asked leaning onto Virat.

Vi - We went to meet the senior guys at the hotel.

He informed stroking his hair.

Jassi - Is everything sorted now ?

He asked with hope.

Ro - Yes it is ! And soon it will be normal again hopefully.

He said which made Jassi smile.

Aman - How u both feel about it ? Means are u okay ?

He asked not looking at them as he was hesitant to ask that. He just asked.

Virat and Rohit smiled at that statement. They never talked about it directly. Aman knew everything but he never pushed them about it or asked them. He just gave them whatever space and support they would need.

Virat - We are okay ! Means we felt a bit difficult but we will get to normalcy soon I guess.

Jassi - Take ur time.

He said softly.

Virat rested his head on the couch feeling tired. He closed his eyes sinking everything in.

Jassi saw that and made him lay down properly once he was sleeping. Rohit made Aman sleep as he had dozed off on his shoulder.

Jassi and Rohit went into the living room to make dinner arrangements.

Ro - Jassi check if anything is there that we can prepare nahi toh we have to order it.

He said finding in the kitchen compartments himself.

He didn't receive any response .. he turned and found Jassi staring into his phone.

Ro - Jas ! Is everything okay ?

He asked keeping his hand on his shoulder to get his attention.

Jassi - Yes bhai, I will come in sometime okay!

He said and left the house leaving confused n concerned Ro behind.

Virat came out of the room just then.

Ro - U up so early ? It's been 10 mins to say the least !

He said.

Vi - Ya I know .. couch is not so comfortable!

He said.

Vi - Where is Jassi ?

He said sitting on the kitchen counter as Rohit was searching ingredients to make some food.

Ro - I don't know ! He saw something in his phone and told me he will be back in a bit. Felt strange !

Vi - Do u think he is hiding something from us ?

Ro - I think so ! We have to observe him.

Vi - Why can't they tell us directly if something's bothering them ? Aman n Jassi both are the same.

He said rubbing his forehead.

Ro - look who is telling this !!! May i remind u ... u took almost 6 months or so to tell me what was going in ur head !

He said.

Vi - Atleast u knew what I was thinking even if I don't voice out !

Ro - Because it's us Vi !! It's not the same with everyone!

He winked at him and Vi just rolled his eyes in response

Vi - What are u making ?

He asked.

Ro - Dal rice for Aman as he has to eat something less spicy and paneer masala for us.

He said.

Vi - Ohh okay !

He said sitting comfortably.

Ro - Are u going to help me ?

He asked seeing him getting comfortable

Vi - No !

Ro - Why ?

Vi - Because I don't want to and I am not in the mood to prepare food !

Ro - Vi how I will do all this alone ?

Vi - How do I know that ? I am not going to help u !

Ro - Vi please yaar !

He pleaded seeing amt of work he had to do.

Vi - No ! This is ur punishment for saying that thing !

He said and sat there watching him in misery.

Ro - Vi kar de yaar help ...

He said again.

Vi - Ok ! Just because u pleaded !

He said.

Ro - How grateful of you !

At ICT hotel

Jassi reached and met Harry in the lobby.

Jassi - What happened? How come they are here ? Did u call them ? Did Rah called ? Harry speak up !

He rambled immediately.

Harry - Give me time to speak Jas ! I didn't call them. I don't know how they came here ! What are we gonna do ?

Jassi - How do I know ? Let me think something ? Where is Rah ?

He asked not seeing KL anywhere around!

Harry - I don't know where he went ! He messaged you and I have not seen him since!

Jassi - So what were u doing ? Where were you and why were u not with him ? You know how sensitive he is about this issue ! Such a idiot u are Harry !

He said annoyed with him.

Jassi- Where are they ?

Harry - In my room so Rah can't be there .. let's check in his room!

Jassi - Why didn't do it that first instead of waiting here for me ?

Harry - I didn't think at that time !! Let's go now instead of scolding me!

He said and they went to KL's room and froze at entrance seeing the state.
