After dinner Rohit and Virat came back to their room. Rohit handed Virat's medicines to him to which Virat made a face.

Virat whining : "Please yaar Ro .. mujhe nhi khani hai yeh tablets"

Rohit sternly : "Vi abhi raat ke time par faltu natak mat kar .. kha le aur waise bhi yeh last hai"

Virat : "Mujhe nhi khani hai"

Rohit tried a different technique : "Okay tu abhi nhi khayega toh tera hath thik nhi hoga .. toh mai physio ko bolunga and then he will not clear u for tomorrow's match"

Virat immediately took the medicine and gulped it down. Virat said : "Ro its cheating to blackmail like that"

Rohit was just giving him "I know" look. And went to check the door as someone knocked. He opened it and saw Ash,Jaddu,Shikh and Bhuvi standing there. He gave Bhuvi a look about it but Bhuvi just shrugged as he had no choice. Rohit let them in.

Virat saw Rohit entering with Bhuvi he immediately said : "Bhuvi tu yaha abhi toh ..." then he stopped seeing others entering behind them. He just froze as he remembered what they said about him. He was just about to turn to the balcony but stopped hearing Ash's voice.

Ash said being guilty : "Virat we are sorry .. plz forgive us. We have done a terrible mistake by not trusting you. We can't tell you how guilty we are. You give us any punishment we will take it."

Jaddu with tears : "Veer .. plz maaf kar de .. bahot badi galti ho gayi. I toh deserve a bigger punishment .. i knew you before anyone but still did that .. I am really sorry"

Shikh : "I don't even know how to ask forgiveness from you Virat .. but I am also really sorry"

Virat got a little soft seeing Jaddu in tears because it never happened. But still that could not make him forget that they didn't trust him in first place. Virat just said : "No I cannot forgive you"

Virat with tears in his eyes : "You didn't believe when I needed u all the most. You didn't even talk to me ask once. You all really thought I was guilty.. how could u do that to me after so many years together"

Virat started taking deep breaths remembering all that they said. Rohit came by his side rubbed his back and Bhuvi gave him water to calm him down.

After few mins he got normal. Rohit asked : "U okay?" To which Virat nodded.

Jaddu kneeled in front of him. And said : "Veer I know it's not easy to forgive us and forget what we said .. but tu jo bolega wo hum karenge .. anything u just say .. but we are really sorry Veer"

Virat asked him : "You will not do this again na .. because I will not be able to forgive u all again"

Jaddu,Ash,Shikh : "No we will never do it again .. we are sorry"

Listening to this Virat hugged them. Rohit and bhuvi joined and that became a group hug. The sat around the bed where Virat resting his head on Rohit's shoulder. They were chitchatting. Suddenly Shikh asked hesitantly: "Virat have u talked to Mahi bhai"

Listening Mahi bhai's name Virat got stiff for a sec and unknowingly held Rohit's arm. Rohit understood and nodded in no to Shikh. Bhuvi spoke mischievously: "Rohit Jaddu said that he will do anything right ?" Rohit played along to divert Virat's attention: "Yes Bhuvi .."

Bhuvi : "Virat I have an idea what should Jaddu do .. u just have to agree with me and say the duration like 1 week or 1 month "

Virat asked : "Ofcourse I agree with u bhuvi .. and duration 1 month"

Bhuvi : "Okay so Jaddu u will not mention ur Jamnagar stories for a month to anyone and if u do then the duration will be double."

Jaddu pouted : "That's not fair"

Everyone laughed and Rohirat hi-fied with Bhuvi. They sat there discussing about tomorrow's match and some random discussion. Virat dozed off on Rohit's shoulder. Bhuvi told everyone to stop talking. Rohit told as everyone had questioning look on Virat sleeping early. "It's the effect of painkillers".

They slept in RohiRat's room only not wanting to go to their rooms today. Rohit,Virat and Bhuvi took the bed and others took couch and floor. They made some arrangements and slept there.

In the middle of the night everyone woke up by the screaming of Virat. Rohit was trying to calm him down. Virat was screaming: "Rohit don't leave me .. Bhai .. Jaddu .. Shikh .. Bhuvi ... Ash please I didn't do anything plz ... Rohit .. Ro" He got up gasping for breath. Seeing Rohit by his side he immediately hugged him.

Rohit rubbed his back to calm him down and said : "Vi calm down mai yahi hu tere sath kahi nahi Gaya .. I will never leave u" he kept saying this till Virat calm down. Virat asked in between: "u will never leave me na like bhai did" .. Rohit said immediately: "Never Vi"

Virat calmed down and dozed off after sometime in Rohit's lap.

Bhuvi asked in a low voice : "Does this happen often?"

Rohit nodded and said : "Actually ever since bhai and ummmmm u all didn't believe him .. he started getting nightmares about me leaving him along with you .. Mostly bhai not believing him has got him the most affected.. even by the mention he gets stiff and remembers that words which bhai spoke"

Jaddu : "We did a terrible mistake"

Ash sensibly : "Rohit ... he has to try forgiving bhai if he want to recover from this pain .. I know u and him both are hurt but still think about it once."

Shikh saw Rohit's objective and nuetral face so he said : "Let's talk tomorrow about this .. now sleep we have a match tomorrow."

Everyone agreed and slept after that.
