Anu stumbled hearing this but Ro hold her. He himself was shocked. Jaddu who has come to talk to Pooja about Virat's condition last night heard it and his phone slipped from his hand gaining everyone's attention.
Jaddu quickly came inside and closed the door.
Jaddu: You are lying right doctor? Veer is fine.. it's just he is hurt may be
Viren: I wish we could say that
Anu: Vi.. lekin kaise?
Pooja: See there can be many reasons and jis tarah ka uska behaviour hai it looks like he is going towards the edge of mild depression. Lekin yeh sab ek din ka nahi hai. It must have been too long. If you all can provide me with all the things, I can help him and you all.
There was a complete silence for a while.
Viren: Dekhiye aap log bataoge nahi to hum apki help kaise karenge? Please aap log ho sake utne most significant incidents share kijiye
Anu was crying. Jaddu and Rohit have held her. Jaddu looked at Rohit who himself was a silently crying. Jaddu finally spoke.
Jaddu: Veer ki life me sabse zyada significance uske father ki death ka hai. He couldn't help him as if was very late in night and no doctor was available.
Rohit: Uske baad se uss month me Vi ko uss rat ke nightmares aate hai.. dara hua rehta hai.. usko aisa hi lagta hai ki iss month me kuchh na kuchh bura hoga hi..
Anu: Tab se uske dil me apno ko leke insecure hone laga hai. Apno ko khone se darne laga hai. Har ek chhoti se chhoti baat pe hyper hota rehta hai. Haan dikhata nahi hai itna lekin hota hai.
Anu sobbed. Rohit rubbed her arm.
Rohit: Bahut pyaar karta hai hum sab se. Nahi dekh sakta hum logo ko ek pal ke liye bhi pareshan. You knew how much he took to recover after that accident.
Pooja: Aur kuchh?
Jaddu: Nahi aur to kuchh nahi hai. Haan Rah ke bare me jab pata chala tab insecure ho gaya tha. Dar gaya tha ki kahi woh Ro aur Rah ke beech me na aa jaye aur dono ko na kho de. Iss liye chala bhi gaya tha lekin Rah ki tabiyat kharab ho gayi thi to aa gaya aur Mahi Bhai ne bhi usko samjaya to samaj gaya tha uske baad.
Rohit: Accident ke pehle aur baad me kya hua tha you know
Viren and Pooja nodded in yes.
Rohit: Aur inn sab ke alawa...
Rohit looked at Anu who instantly looked down feeling slightly uncomfortable. Rohit didn't say anything more getting her state but Jaddu spoke. But Ro and Anu's actions didn't go unnoticed by Pooja.
Jaddu: Ek baat hai.. kal Veer kuchh khoya hua sa tha late night. His eyes were red but he was not crying. Main apne room me leke Gaya aur sulaya usko. Lekin woh bahut toota hua sa lag raha tha
Pooja: Okay.. let me analyse the information. By that time, Viren why don't you go and explain Rahul's medicine updates to Rohit and Jadeja though they know but discuss it once.
Viren nodded in yes getting Pooja wanted to talk to Anu alone and he, Rohit and Jaddu went outside of the room. Pooja came and sat beside Anu and hold her hands.
Pooja: Virat is fine. He is going towards the edge of mild depression he is not in depression. We can still get him back. The pain he has swallowed is something which is making him going towards it but if by any means we can lessen it, Virat will be very much fine.
Anu nodded in yes.
Pooja: Do you think there is anything which can also hurt him or upset him? Or made him feel at fault?
Anu nodded in yes reluctantly.
Pooja: It's okay Anushka. Iss seene me kafi raaz dafan hai logo ke. You can share with me no matter how much embarassing or childish it can be.
It gave Anu some strength. She told her about the guilt trip Virat was on after their marriage and also shared the reality of their relationship.. the distance which is still there between them even though they love each other madly. She also shared the downfall which came without any particular reason and the progress happening in their relationship
Tears were falling from Anu's eyes.
Pooja: Calm down Anushka. I know these things are too personal for a couple
Anu: Koi bhi personal baat mere Vi ki health se badi nahi ho sakti
Pooja smiled at her.
Pooja: Itna pyaar karti ho to apne pyaar pe apna haq jatao Anushka. Show him your love openly. Gradually hi sahi.. chhote chhote actions se hi sahi lekin jatao. It will make him feel loved. And it will really help him. Lekin I would suggest ki jab dil kare tab Jatana maine kaha iss liye nahi kyuki agar Virat ko zara si bhi bhanak lag gayi ki yeh sab sirf uske health ko stable karne ke liye kiya hai to woh uss andhere me ja sakta hai jaha se usko wapas Lana impossible sa hai
Anu: Lekin usko Aisa lagega that I am again trying to seduce him out of concern and not love
Pooja: Take Small Steps
Anu looked at her with frown.
Pooja: Yes. Take Small Steps. Do the things which were your love language.. jisse tum dono relate kar pao. Lekin Dil se karna jab bhi karo.
Anu nodded in yes. Pooja called rest that is Viren, Rohit and Jaddu. They came inside.
Rohit: Dr Pooja..
Pooja: Yes
Rohit: I have an issue.
Rohit informed her about his issues with the particular memory of Rahul being snatched away from him.
Pooja: Haan hota hai aisa
Rohit: Lekin maine iss state me Vi ko bahut hurt Kiya hai. He is completely broken
Pooja: It's good
All except Viren looked at him with shocked expression
Pooja: He was keeping his emotions inside.. he was swallowing all of his pain without even any question. And yesterday's blow has broken that dam of emotions he has built up. Virat's emotional breakdown was necessary. And it has actually slowed down his pace of going towards the danger. Yes he is hurt may be a lot but that hurt has actually gave us a huge chance in getting him back and we should utilise it as much as we can.
Jaddu: That's great news
Rohit: You are right Dr Pooja Lekin my point is Vi for the fact knew that I have given full control of Rah to him and me snapping at him of course would have hurted him lekin it's something else. Mera yeh kehna usko iss had tak nahi Tod sakta.
Pooja: What do you want me to do?
Anu got that and her eyes widened.
Anu: Ro No..
Rohit: I have to Anu. Hume Vi ke dil me kya hai janna hoga aur yeh bilkul sahi tarika hai
Anu: Ro it will affect your health
Rohit: It's Vi Anu..
Jaddu: Kya karne ja rahe ho?
Rohit: Dr Pooja.. I want to remember whatever happened
Viren: I can't allow. Your BP is already low Rohit
Pooja: Look Rohit.. Viren is right
Rohit: It's Vi. Trust me I'll be able to handle it.
Pooja: Lekin..
Rohit: Please doctor
Rohit showed his best puppy face which finally worked on the doctor couple.
Pooja: Fine.. come and half lie on the bed. And then close your eyes.
Rohit did the same.
Pooja: Calm yourself Rohit and think about good memories with Virat . Remember his smiling face. Remember the banters you both have..
A smile was playing on Rohit's face
Pooja: Remember your moments with Rahul and Virat both together
Rohit's smile was getting wider and wider as he remembered time spent with both of his brothers
Pooja: Now remember yesterday's night. Rahul got triggered. You and Virat were handling him..
Sweatbeads started forming on Rohit's forehead with his breathing becoming heavy. His hands were shivering slightly. Pooja signed and Viren dropped a paper weight bringing back Rohit from the memory lane. Anu quickly made Rohit have some water.
Anu: Ro chhodo
Rohit shook his head in no still trying to stabilize his breathing.
Pooja: Relax.. relax..
Rohit calmed down after a while. He again braces himself.
Rohit: I am ready
Viren: Are you sure?
Pooja: Rohit your state is not proper. You are still under the impact of that memory
Rohit: I will do it. And I am sure about it
Pooja again made him half lie down on the bed. Once Rohit was calmed and focused, she started asking questions
Pooja: Do you remember what happened yesterday night?
Rohit: Haan. Rah and Vi came late. Once Rah slept, I and Vi argued and it triggered Rah
Rohit's condition started deteriorating as the memory of yesterday and the past memories were playing games with him.
Rohit: Rah.. ko breathing me problem ho rahi thi to hum balcony me aye. Main khud nahi handle kar pa raha tha. I was as usual getting affected with that memory. Rah was getting scared seeing me like that and Vi asked me to calm down for Rah.. Lekin.. Lekin I snapped at him. I.. I hurted him. Vi.. Vi..
Rohit remembered the hurted look of Virat. The pain on his face.. The broken soul of him.. He has seen him with the same face. He has seen Virat like that earlier too. Rohit pressurized his brain making it started aching.. his breathing was again heavy.. when he remembered when he saw Virat like that earlier.. he remembered whenever Virat used to miss uncle a lot and was feeling guilty that he was not able to save him.. that uncle was leaving but he could not stop him. The look also used to come on Virat's face when he used to get nightmare of that night.
Rohit's breathing became much more heavier with his BP constantly fluctuating.. Rohit opened his eyes with a jolt gasping for breath. Rest all present there were helping him to calm down.
Rohit: He.. he felt the same.. same pain..
Pooja: Which one?
Rohit: That he felt.. when uncle left him.. he.. he felt the same.. same..
Rohit's eyes started getting closed as he was exhausted.. all the energy of his body has been absorbed.. Viren quickly gave him an injection to control his vitals which were fluctuating a lot. Rohit remembered how many times Virat has called him Dada in sleep and every time he has shrugged off but this time, he realised the love and warmth his presence matters to Virat no matter what happened.
Rohit finally calmed down and Viren passed him the medicine which needed to be taken after lunch. Now as he knew what was the real reason, he will make sure that his Virat became His Vi and kids' Vi Bhai and mainly Cheeku
Flashback ends--
Rohit opened his eyes and looked at Virat who was sleeping with a small smile on his face. Rohit caressed his hair and kissed on it. Rahul on the other hand checked his phone which was having the notification of him being partnered with Athiya for The Rising Stars. And Even their introduction and declaration edit was also posted in which some of his glimpses were there singing and Athiya's dancing on his voice. He sighed and accepted the Collab request of that post. He knew their Dean is not gonna chose anyone else with either of them.
They reached hotel and Rohit woke Virat up gently. They went inside the hotel and Virat went to his room.
Virat: Nushkie..
He said happily though he was not jumping.. he was not showing the happiness to the fullest which he should or which he would do if he was not an emotional mess. Anu came to him and hugged him congratulating him.
Virat: We won..
Anu: I am so happy for you Vi. But go freshen up now.
Virat quickly freshen up and again hugged Anu who chuckled.
Anu: Khush ab? Tumhara Ro kahi nahi gaya
Virat nodded in yes vigorously. Anu chuckled.
Rohit was standing in lobby when Rahul joined him and hugged him. Rohit though was startled but hugged him back.
Rahul: Aap rest karo bhaiya. You need it. You are not used to this level of exhaustion
Rohit broke the hug and looked at him with shocked expression.
Rahul: Bhaiya.. I know what you must have done it. And I am proud of you ki apne aaj jo bhi kiya apni marzi se kiya
Rohit smiled at him and ruffled his hair. He then went to his room. Rahul was about to go to his room when he saw Athiya just came out of her room. They both looked at each other. Athiya's eyes instantly teared up.
Rahul: T..
Athiya turned to other side. Rahul started coming towards her.
Rahul: T..
Athiya ran from there towards terrace. Rahul too ran after her calling her.
Rahul: T.. Tia stop kidhar ja rahi ho?
They both reached terrace running but stopped when they saw Ahan and Harry both were already there. Ahan and Harry looked at them. Athiya wiped her tears but they were still falling. Harry looked at Athiya and then at Rahul and both were looking here and there.
Harry: Let's go Ahan
Harry started leaving but Ahan was looking at Rahul who nodded in assurance and then Ahan too went with Harry.
Harry and Ahan were in lobby.
Harry: Your sister's mood was bad. I hope Rah is safe
Ahan chuckled.
Ahan: Your bestie is the safest place of my sister since childhood. Don't worry. She can never even think of him getting any harm even in her dreams.
Ahan went from there chuckling.
Harry: Yeh to Aaj dekh hi liya ki woh bilkul Rah ko dard me nahi dekh pati. Akhir aisi bhi kon si friendship hai dono me bachpan se.
Harry said it in the air and went to his room sighing.
Rahul put his hand on her shoulder. Athiya jerked it.
Rahul: Tia..
Athiya: T..
Rahul: I am fine T.
Athiya looked at him with blood shot eyes
Athiya: Fine? Tumhe itna pain ho raha tha and you are saying you are fine. Aisa kon sa fine hota hai zara bata na
Rahul: T..
Athiya: Aur tumne mujhe bataya kyu nahi ki tumhe Aisa hota hai? Tumne Aisa kaise soch liya ki itni badi baat tum mujse chhupaoge? Haq hai mera janne ka R. Oh I forgot.. Tumne to break diya hai na. Phir kon sa haq hai na
Rahul: T.. calm down
Athiya: Calm down.. calm down..??
She asked while coming towards him to which he gulped down and took steps backwards. Athiya was looking at him as if she would swallow him just like that.
Rahul: Are yaar.. tum ek baat batao.. gussa kis baat ka hai? Hold Kiya uska ya nahi bataya uska?
Athiya looked at him in disbelief.
Athiya: You are impossible huh..
She went from there huffing and Rahul was looking at her confusingly.
Rahul: Pehle ro rahi thi ab gussa hoke chali gayi. Girls and their mood swings
Rahul made a face and went towards his room.
Virat was in his room with Anu keeping his head in her lap and she was caressing his hair.
Virat: Nushkie..
Anu: Hmm..
Virat: Ro ko realise kaise hua?
Anu: Ussi se puchh lo na
Virat: Woh batayega?
Anu: Woh tumhe shayad bataye na lekin chhupayega nahi
Virat hummed in response.
Virat: But Ro batayega mujhe. I have that feeling
Anu smiled.
Virat: Main na Rah ke room me hoon
Anu: Uske room me kyu? Let him rest
Virat: Ro wahi hoga abhi iss liye. Main aya baad me okay
Anu nodded in yes and Virat jumped down from the bed and went to Rahul's room only to find Rohit sitting there on the bed.
Virat: Ritzy divorce na Dede kisi din Ro.
Rohit chuckled.
Rohit: Woh khud bhejti hai apne bade baby ke paas mujhe
Virat: Haan lekin yeh bada baby pata nahi kidhar ghum raha
Rohit: Aata hi hoga. How come you here?
Virat lied down on the bed keeping his head in Rohit's lap who instantly started caressing his hair.
Virat: With the same reason as yours. Aaj ka din exhausting tha na uske liye
Rohit: Hmm..
Virat: Ro ek baat puchhu?
Rohit: Haan puchho na
Virat: I know you are dumb Ro and I know it because I am your bestie
Rohit made a face. Virat continued.
Virat: So I know tumhe samaj me nahi aaya tha what you are to me. That papa wala angle.. to phir kaise samaj me aaya?
Rohit: Vi..
Virat: Yes.. I am listening.. (in mind) I know what you must have done Ro. I just want to see whether you will tell me the truth or not.
Rohit sighed.
Rohit: I.. I asked Dr Pooja to help me.. with that.. that memory
Virat: She did?
Rohit: Haan. I knew Vi ki mere bolne ki wajah se tumhari yeh halat nahi ho sakti. I knew it because in any state you don't need my words to understand my feelings. Your one look at my face was enough.
Virat: And so as yours Ro
Rohit: That's the reason I wanted to remember Vi. I knew I have hurted you lekin sirf mere words ka hurt nahi tha else tum itna toot nahi jate. Bas to phir I asked her.
Virat: Kitne panic attacks aaye?
Rohit: Ek and dusare me I remembered
Virat: Vitals?
Rohit: BP was low. Dr Viren gave meds
Virat: How come he allowed you?
Rohit: He was not ready but it was necessary Vi. I can't see you breaking like that
Virat sat on the bed beside Rohit and whacked him.
Rohit: Vi..
Virat: What Vi? Match me kuchh ho jata to? We are seeing Rah na.. kitna exhausted ho jata hai woh
Rohit: Haan but I had taken meds after lunch and moreover I had a really good nap till stadium hugging my bear you know
Virat smacked him.
Virat (hugging Rohit): Shut up you Panda
Rohit chuckled and hugged him back. Both giving each other the comfort they need as the situation around them is not easy to be dealt with. They were still in the hug when Rahul barged into room making both of them startled and breaking the hug. Rahul sat between them grumpily. RohiRat looked at each other first and asked what happened with their eyebrows but both shrugged their shoulders and then looked at Rahul who was still sitting in all grumpy mode.
Virat: Kya hua?
Rahul: Yeh ladkiyo ko itne mood swings kyu hote hai?
RohiRat looked at each other.
Rohit: Aise kyu puchh rahe ho?
Rahul: Are woh Tia.. samaj me hi nahi aa raha ki gussa hai ya sad hai huh. Khud bad bad karti hui chali gayi
Virat: Don't you know the reason Rah kyu hota?
Rahul: Are lekin abhi woh problem nahi hai I know her dat..
He stopped as he realised what he was saying and cleared his throat. He looked at either side of him with side eyed and found RohiRat both were looking at him with raised eyebrows.
Rahul: Umm.. woh.. woh..
Rohit: Abe yeh to kuchh bhi nahi hai. Aise me kya itna chidna. Mood swings and girls go hand in hand.
Rohit said not wanting Rahul to feel awkward and looked at Virat who gave him thumbs up. Virat felt relieved that finally what he was trying to make Rohit understand has finally worked.
Rahul too got calmed slightly as none of his brothers say anything which can make him feel awkward.
Rohit: So Rah.. when you have a girl buddy.. be ready to face the tantrums and mood swings.
Virat: It suits them though..
Rohit: Totally agreed. But yeh sare mood swings to kuchh nahi hai. Pregnancy ke time pe to tauba.. Ritz me kya pakaya hai mast mujhe..
He said and rest two chuckled at his expressions. He then started sharing some stories of Ritz's mood swings. But unknown to them, Ahan heard it and was thinking about Athiya's behaviour from past few days which was very much unpredictable. But he quickly realised what he was thinking and shrugged off the thoughts and went to his room to sleep.
Rohit's phone pinged with a notification and he saw it and gasped.
Rohit: Holy shit
HulRat: Kya hua?
Rohit: Are woh Ritz ki doctor out of town ja rahi hai to Aaj apne sare patients ko dekh rahi hai overtime karke. Aise to Ritz ka check up kar liya hai but usne bola tha ki ek baar Jane se pehle phir se check kar legi kyuki ab almost 7 months ho gaye hai so precaution ke liye
Virat: Haan to problem kya hai?
Rohit: Usne abhi bulaya hai.
HulRat looked at each other and then at Rohit who was still sitting there looking at them. HulRat facepalmed themselves.
Virat: Ro idiot go and ask Ritz to get ready.
Rohit: Oh haan
Rohit got up and went from there.
Virat: Is he mad or what?
Rahul: Apke hi bestie hai
Virat whacked him.
Virat: Tera to Bhai hai.. aya bada bestie wala
HulRat looked at each other and chuckled.
Virat: Chal ab rest kar okay. Good night
Rahul: Good night
Virat was going to his room when Rohit stopped him.
Rohit: Vi.. kaka ka call nahi lag raha. Unko bol na ki gadi ready rakhe
Virat: Haan karta hoon. Tum dono sab le lena okay.
Rohit: Yeah yeah
Virat went to the parking lot and asked their driver kaka to be ready and soon enough RohIka came there and they both left. Virat too left from there and was going towards his room when he saw Rahul was just strolling in the lobby. He frowned and went to him.
Virat: Tum soye nahi?
Rahul: Woh.. pehle to Bhaiya aur bhabhi ko all the best bolne ke liye ruka tha
Virat: Aur uske baad kyu ruke the?
Rahul: Woh.. Tia.. I mean T ko dekhne gaya tha ki so gayi ya nahi
Virat: So gayi?
Rahul: Pata nahi. Room andar se bandh hai. Sahil bhi hai waise. Kafi late ho gaya hai to bandh hi hoga
Virat: So hi gayi hogi Rah. Kal college bhi hai uska
Rahul nodded in yes.
Virat: Now go and sleep bachcha
Rahul: Neend nahi aa rahi Vi Bhai
Virat sighed and took him to his room and made him lie down on the bed. He sat beside him and started caressing his hair.
Rahul: Bhabhi wait kar rahi hogi Vi Bhai.
Virat: She knew I am here. Lekin phir bhi bata deta hoon
Virat called Anu and told him that he will come late as he was putting Rahul to sleep to which she asked him to take care of him and she was fine with it. Virat informed Rahul the same.
Virat: Now sleep okay..
Rahul hugged Virat to which he smiled feeling the contentment of the feeling to be someone's comfort person. He was feeling similar to which he felt when he first time comforted Rahul. Virat kissed on his forehead and continued caressing his hair. He then covered Rahul properly.
Virat: Rah.. meds li na bachcha?
Rahul bit his tongue. Virat whacked him not so gently.
Rahul: ouch.. Vi Bhai..
Virat made him have his meds while glaring at him. Rahul gulped down at his glare.
Rahul: Dr Pooja ne bola tha bhul sakte hai kabhi kabhi cheeze means aisa ho sakta hai
Rahul tried to justify but it was a wrong move as Virat again whacked him and this time it was real hard.
Virat: Notanki bandh. Yeh na apne bhaiya ke samne karna mere samne nahi chalne wala. Now sleep chalo. You need rest.
Rahul kept his head in his lap again and closed his eyes. Virat again covered him properly and also kept his Panda and Rabbit beside him which he clutched tightly hugging them. Virat then started caressing his hair and this time finally Rahul fell asleep.
Virat got call from Rohit. He quickly picked it up so that Rahul's sleep does not get broken.
Virat: Haan Ro
Rohit (slightly panicking): Vi.. jaldi se ghar ja aur na ek file le aur uske pics de. Woh file ghar pe hai aur yaha se ghar jane ka rasta bandh hai. Jaldi kar na please. Doctor ko dekhna hai
Virat: Ro yaar.. calm down okay
Virat looked at Rahul who was in deep sleep so gently placed his head on the pillow and came out of the room and almost ran towards parking lot where his car was parked.
Virat: Main nikal raha hoon Ghar ke liye aur jaldi tujhe file ke pics bhejta hoon .. tu tab tak file ka color, usme kon si information hai yeh mujhe message kar de. I have reached parking lot and will be driving now.
Virat disconnected the call and went to SK Mansion. He ran to RohIka's room and was searching for the file. He called Rohit who picked it in first ring itself.
Virat: Ro.. yaar kidhar hai teri blue file? Tere room me mujhe blue colour ke vase ke alawa sirf Indian and MI ki Jersey dikhti blue color ki
Rohit: What?? Mere room me.. No Vi. Woh file mere room me nahi tere room me hai
Virat (confused and surprised): Mere room me??
Rohit: Haan woh last time hum log tumhare room me sab discuss kar rahe the na to udhar hai. Go to your room and check
Virat: Okay Fine. Idiot kahi ka.
Virat took the lift and went upstairs considering the urgency but as soon as he came out of the lift, he stumbled with someone and that someone was none other than Anu. Both were surprised as well as confused seeing each other there.
Rohit: Mili file?
Virat: Oh shit file
Virat ran to his room and so as Anu and they both opened the room only to find it decorated with flowers, candles, with slight smell of mogra which was one of the favourites of Virushka.. Their jaws dropped seeing the set up.
Anu: What is this Ritz??
So It's RohIka's plan to send Virushka home to spend some quality time together.. away from all the tensions.
Ritz cut the call and So as Rohit. But then Rohit video called Virat who picked up and Anu too was looking at RohIka.
Rohit: So kaisa laga surprise?
Anu: You Idiot Sharma. I was so worried. Mujhe laga pata nahi kon si file bhul gaye
Virat: Exactly.. pata hai maine kitna fast drive kiya
Rohit: Stop overacting. And yes it was a set up. Ritz and baby both are fine and hum log hamare hotel ke room me hai see.
Rohit show his surroundings so that Virushka can believe them.
Ritz: Aur yeh tum dono ke liye surprise tha. Maine decoration karwaya hai.. mast hai na
Ritz chuckled making rest all smile at her.
Rohit: And you both are staying at home for at least 24 hours. Do whatever you want to do 😉
Rohit teased Virushka to which Ritz chuckled and Virushka both blushed hard.
Rohit: Guys.. we know you both are trying hard to normalise things. Lekin tum dono ke hectic schedule me easy nahi hoga. So socha ki kuchh ghante sath me spend karoge to thoda better feel karoge. So utilise it okay. Chalo I am hanging up.
Ritz: And Enjoy 😉
Ritz too teased them before Rohit cut the call and here Virushka were looking here and there not getting what they should do.
Virat closed the door raising Anu's heartbeats. Anu gulped down feeling nervous.
Virat on the other side was hell nervous though he was not showing it. He was happy that now he and his Nushkie will spend some time together but he didn't know how to even initiate the conversation right now.
Anu: Um.. let's get freshen up
Virat: Haan..
Anu freshen up first and then Virat went inside the washroom. When he came out, he saw Anu was sitting on the bed and she has cleaned the bed.. all the flowers and stuffs were removed from the bed and his face instantly fell. Anu though was scrolling through her phone but she has seen Virat's fell face. She too wanted to spend time with him but today was not the day. Virat has gone through a lot of emotional turmoil in past 48 hours. He needs calmness and rest for now. They can spend time tomorrow.
Virat came and sat on the bed. He was looking down not getting what he should say. Anu spoke.
Anu: Vi.. so jao. Kal se theek se soye nahi ho aur aaj bhi thake hue ho
Virat nodded in yes and lie down on the bed. Anu came to him and hugged him.. cuddling to him. Virat though was first startled but a smile came on his face. He was getting assurance that HIS GIRL was not going away from him. Anu was caressing his shoulder.
Anu: Vi.. Flowers ki smell zyada strong si ho rahi thi bed ke uper jo the uski aur tumhe strong smell se headache hone lagta hai na to maine hata diye
Virat mentally scolded himself for thinking otherwise and just hugged her tighter. Anu smiled.
Anu: Vi.. you know you can share anything with me hai na?
Virat nodded in yes.
Anu: Tum na bas mundi hilao. Bolo mat.
She said it while shaking her head and Virat again nodded in yes teasing her.. making her cutely irritated and she looked at him with pout and an irritated face scrunching her eye brows.
Virat chuckled and kissed on her pout out of reflex. But it came out as a shock for both of them. Both averted their gazes from each other blushing and smiling like a fool. Anu hid her face in the hug making him held her protectively. He kissed on her hair.
Virat: Good night Nushkie
Anu: Good night Vi
They both slept due to exhaustion of the entire day but with a content smile on their faces as they were reducing the awkwardness between them.
Ritz was hugging Rohit but was still awake.
Ritz: Ro.. dono theek honge na?
Rohit: Of course Ritz. They needed some time alone. Dono baatein kare ya na kare.. sath me rahe.. ek dusare ko help kare.. wahi bahut hai. Frankly, of course they are not gonna take the next step, but at least they both will be able to reduce the awkwardness they feel sometimes. And it will be a great help for both of them.
Ritz: Hmm..
Rohit caressed her hair and soon she fell asleep. Rohit made her sleep properly and then went to check on Rahul. He saw him sleeping while hugging his Panda and Rabbit and a smile came on Rohit's face. He caressed his hair and kissed on his forehead. Rahul smiled in sleep. Rohit then went to his room and slept feeling content as things are going good at least now.
On the next day, Virat and Anu both woke up quite late around 8:30 AM and got freshen up. Anu could see a different freshness on Virat's face. She was happy for the same.
Anu: Achchha Vi.. Breakfast me kya khana hai? Main bana deti hoon
Virat: Tumhe jo theek lage bana do Nushkie. Even I'll help you.
Before Anu could say anything, a knock on the door made both of them startled. Virat opened the door and found Kaki there.
Kaki: Virat baba.. Apka aur Anu beti ka breakfast garden me laga diya hai. Aap dono waha chale jana
Virat: Aur apse yeh sab kisne karwaya?
Kaki: Ro baba aur Ritika beti ne hum sab ko pehle hi sab samja diya hai ki kya kya karna hai. Aaj aap logo ko koi kam nahi karna hai. Ab main chalti hoon
Kaki went from there. Virat looked at Anu smiling and shrugging his shoulders. Anu chuckled and then they both went to garden and found a beautiful set up there for their breakfast. There was a card too. Anu took it and opened it.
"A small breakfast date for my cuties. Guys use this time wisely and talk. And I am sure you both will find the correct path"
With love
Your Ro
Virat also read the note and sighed. Anu hold his hand and they both sat on the bench there. Anu served breakfast and coffee. She forwarded the sandwhich to Virat's mouth who was just looking at her antics. Anu signed him to have it to which he opened his mouth and she fed him.
Anu: Pehle pet pooja baad me kam dooja
Virat chuckled hearing this and was internally admiring how Anu instantly diverted his mind from the thoughts he was having. He side hugged her and fed her with breakfast and she too did the same. Now they both were sipping their coffees still being in side hug.
Virat: I was thinking ki hum har baar steps lete hai phir ruk kyu jate hai? Wapas se first step se kyu shuru karna padta hai?
Anu shrugged her shoulders.
Anu: May be we are too focusing on our actions. Kisi bhi cheez ka excess is not good. Phir chahe woh too much cautiousness hi kyu na ho.. ya phir too much trials..
Virat: Then what should we do Nushkie? Hum log flow ke sath jane ki koshish karte hai to maine kitna mess up kar diya tha dekha na
Anu was silent. She didn't say anything. Virat looked at her confusingly. Anu sighed after a while.
Anu: Hum logo ne mess up kiya Vi. I always knew ki tum overthinking kar rahe ho lekin maine bhi to itne efforts nahi dale jo tumhe overthinking karne se roke.. Aur sahi rasta bhi to nahi chuna. I was so anxious Vi ki mujhe kuchh bhi samaj nahi aa raha tha. I knew you were suffering lekin.. lekin main tumhari koi help nahi kar pa rahi thi. You know.. kabhi kabhi na aisa lagta hai ki hum log ek dusare ko jante hi nahi..
Virat: Exactly Nushkie.. Even I felt that.. Hum log aise to nahi the yaar. You know.. We were better as boyfriend and girlfriend
Anu: Haan na. Even I feel the same.
Virat: To wahi rehte hai na
Anu: Matlab?
Virat: Nushkie.. Lately I am feeling that I am not being myself.. that I am not being true to anyone and not even to myself.. It felt like I have just stopped fighting back.. Like I am accepting eveyrthing happening around me.. Like I was not even trying to solve the problem. Look at our thing, I just kept you at distance without even asking you.. I didn't even try to talk to you much more openly about it.. Understanding Rah's POV does not mean I should allow him to hurt Athiya lekin I just accepted his decision.. Uss din Rah ne itna bola fight me, I got hurt lekin I didn't fight for my right.. Parso Ro ne bola lekin what I did.. I just accepted it.. I didn't even fight or gave him back. Instead my focus was captured by the worst fear I have..
Virat took a pause but then continued taking a deep breath.
Virat: I feel.. I feel I am loosing myself and I don't want that to happen Nushkie.. I want to fight. I have not fogotten Ro for saying those words.. But he is trying to seek forgiveness alongwith giving me space and he is making sure to assure me about my place in his and Rah's life which is helping me. And for us.. I feel.. We should take a break..
Anu was shocked hearing this. They have seen worst during their break up pahse.. Even Rahul and Athiya were not able to handle their emotions and here Virat is again asking for a break.
Anu: Lekin Vi..
Virat: Nushkie.. Listen to me please.. We should take a break.. Break from putting over efforts.. Break from overthinking about our relationship.. Our love is not that much weak Nushkie ki hume aise over efforts karne jana pade.. We understand each other well enogh and we just have to keep faith in US..
Anu smiled hearing this. Even she wanted to remove that excess from their relationship. Indeed they both were too much thinking instead of focusing on normal things. They have so many times did their normal things and started afresh but ultimately they both used to stop doing it without any reason.
Anu forwarded her hand.
Anu: Hi.. Anushka.. Can you be my Boyfriend Mr Husband?
Virat chuckled at her way of accepting his proposal but forwarded his hand for the handshake.
Virat: Virat Kohli.. And I would love to be your Boyfriend Wifey..
They both chuckled and hugged each other happily. Indeed talking and sharing helped them a lot. But Anu was happy that Virat knew he was not being himself and now he was fighting to be his original self and that was one of the biggest boost. She knew now they can save him for sure because now they were not alone.. Their biggest strength.. The Virat Kohli is with them..
It was around 10 AM and Rohit and Ritz were in Rahul's room when Pooja knocked at the door. She was welcomed warmly by RohIka and with a grumpy face by Rahul. Pooja was all Aww at this kiddo.
Pooja: You know you look so cute while being grumpy
Rahul made a face and look at other side.
Ritz: Are aap dono me kon sa jhagda ho gaya?
Pooja: Nothing.. Do Friends ke beech ki baat hai. We will sort it out don't worry.
Ritz smiled and nodded in yes.
Pooja: Umm.. Ritika.. Can you please go outside? I need to check Rahul. And as this boy is grumpy today, I would need Rohit here
Ritz nodded in yes and went outside. Pooja closed the door.
Pooja: Rohit.. Please sit on the bed. I need to check you
Rohit: Are lekin mujhe kyu?
Rahul glared at him to which he silently sat on the bed making Pooja chuckled. Rahul glared at her and she kept mum. Pooja checked Rohit.
Pooja: Breakfast kiya?
Rohit: Haan
Pooja: Kitna?
Rohit: Matlab?
Pooja: Matlab sahi se kiya? Jitna karte ho tum?
Rohit nodded in yes. Pooja then forwarded him the medicine.
Pooja: Your BP is low. Take the medicine and don't stress about anything or ANYONE. Everything is under control okay
Rohit nodded in yes and took the medicine.
Pooja: I don't think kal zaroorat padegi medicine ki. Lekin aaj rest kar lena.
Rohit: Okay
Pooja: Now your turn grumpy kid..
Rahul made a face.
Rohit: Rah.. Why are you being grumpy ?
Athiya who was about to leave for the college stopped seeing Ritz outside. She went to her.
Athiya: Are bhabhi aap yaha kya kar rahi ho? R ko uthana hai kya? Main utha deti hoon. Woh na uthane me bahut tantrums dikhata hai
Saying so she opened the door and was surprised to see a girl there covering Rahul. She frowned. Ritz too came inside as she too wanted to see whether Rahul is fine or not.
Pooja's leg got stumbled while she was checking Rahul and was about to fall but Rahul hold her hands and saved her.
Pooja: Thanks yaar.
Rahul nodded in yes.
Rohit: You fine?
Pooja: Yup
Pooja sat on the chair. She hold Rahul's hand in assurance. Rahul looked at her and she blinked her eyes. But Athiya's gaze was stuck at their holding hands. She was getting jealous. It was her R and someone was holding his hand whom she does not know.
Rahul: Kal neend nahi aa rahi thi. I forgot to take meds.
Pooja rubbed his shoulder.
Pooja: It's okay.. It happens. There is no need to think about it.
Pooja again hold his hands in assurance. Before Rahul could say further, Athiya cleared her throat to make her presence known. All looked at her. Rahul saw her glaring at him and so as Pooja who too saw her glaring at Rahul. He raised his eye brows and Athiya looked at the hold of hands. Rahul looked at the hold and quickly took his hands back clearing his throat. Rahul raised his eye brow asking now fine or not to which Athiya just gave a slight nod. Pooja was observing this and was amazed thinking this kiddo was having a girlfriend.
Rohit: Kuchh kam tha Tia?
His question made RahIya reminded about everyone else's presence
Athiya: Haan.. haan. Woh.. I was going to college. Apko batane ayi thi Anna.
Rohit gave her a nod and asked her to take care. Athiya nodded in yes and went from there not before giving a warning glare to Rahul to which he visibly gulped down but anyways sighed.
Ritz: Everything fine Dr Pooja?
Pooja: Yes.. He is doing good.
Ritz smiled. But before anyone of them could say further, a cute little boy came running inside the room.
Boy: Mumma...
Pooja: Kush...
Pooja picked him and hugged him. Viren came inside.
Viren: I hope disturb nahi kiya isne
Kush made a face at him. Rest all chuckled except Rahul who was getting some flashes.
Pooja: Are nahi.
Rahul gulped down seeing the flashes and being in daze.
"A Small Boy was running here and there. His mother was trying to feed him but he was not eating. Soon his brother came and he ran to his brother. His brother picked him up and hugged him. His brother fed him after getting freshen up. His brother also gave him piggyback ride. The small boy has a cute smile plastered all the time on his face"
Viren: So how..
Viren said it while looking at Rahul but found him lost. There was a smile on his face but his breathing was uneven. He looked here and there and he quickly took the glass of water and splashed it directly at Rahul's face bringing him back in the reality. Rahul took sometime in stablizing his breathing but he did it even though he took some more time.
Viren quickly started checking his vitals which were very much between normal to slightly high making him sigh in relief.
Rahul: Relax.. I am fine. It was a good and happy memory.
Viren: Yeah as if I don't know it
Rahul: Of course you know it. But you are worse than your wife in acting you know. Sometimes even you sucks at acting
Viren rolled his eyes.
Rohit: Kya yaad aya Rah?
Rahul: Yahi ki kaise aap bhi aise jaise inhone Kush ko uthaya waise hi uthate the.. Khelte the mere sath.. you used to give me piggyback rides
Rohit smiled and kissed on Rahul's forehead. Ritz too did the same.
Ritz: I got scared ki pata nahi kya yad aya hoga
Rahul: I am fine Bhabhi don't worry okay
Ritz smiled and nodded in yes.
Pooja: I was thinking to talk with Rahul. Not like a session but random talks. It can help him reduce the mental exhaustion. So if you don't mind, Rohit.. Ritika.. Can you guys go out? You too Vi?
Viren and RohIka went from there. Kush was sitting on the bed looking at everything curiously. He was getting fascinated by Rahul so he crawled towards him and sat in his lap without any prior notice. Rahul chuckled and hugged him.
Rahul: Aww.. Apko mere sath friendship karni hai?
Kush: fend yesh
Rahul: So cute bachcha..
Rahul kissed his cheek to which Kush chuckled.
Rahul: Bahut pyara hai yeh
Pooja: Thanks.
There was a silence where Rahul was playing with Kush.
Pooja: Umm.. Rahul.. How are you feeling now?
Rahul: I am fine Dr Pooja. Happy memories itna affect nahi karti
Pooja: Rahul you are doing good
Rahul: I know and I saw with your husband's reaction. Usko apne acting ke classes kyu nahi diye?
Pooja: Rahul it's not a joke. He got worried for you
Rahul: Exactly Dr Pooja. It's not a joke. He got worried for me.
Pooja: Rahul..
Rahul: How much time?
Pooja was startled.
Pooja: Ra.. Rahul listen to me carefully. Aisa kuchh.. kuchh..
Tear fell from Pooja's eye but she quickly wiped it. Rahul sighed. Pooja thought to divert the topic.
Pooja: Waise ab to tumhara hath bhi nahi pakad sakti main kyu?
She asked teasingly to which Rahul blushed looking down.
Pooja: Oye hoye.. Blsuhing and all haan.. Kab se chal raha hai?
Rahul (blushing): Aisa.. aisa kcuhh.. kuchh..
He was blushing while saying. Pooja chuckled.
Pooja: Dekha Kush.. Apke Rahul bhaiya kisi ke bas zikr se hi blush karne lagte hai
Kush chuckled to which Rahul blushed harder. Pooja mentally sighed in relief.
Pooja: Are ab bata bhi do.
Rahul: Okay fine. Her name is Athiya.. And we are childhood buddies
Pooja (tesingly): Sirf buddies?
Rahul blushed and looked here and there but then shook his head in no while blushing.
Rahul: We.. we love each other. Sab ko pata hai.
Pooja: Waah waah kya baat hai. Lekin bandi kya ghurti hai boss.
Rahul chuckled.
Rahul: She is quite possessive about me and I.. I love that about her
Rahul said last line again blushing making Pooja chuckle.
Rahul: She is the light of my life.. My biggest strength.. The strongest girl I have ever seen..
Pooja: Aye haaye.. tum to pure clean bowled ho chuke ho
Rahul chuckled.
Rahul: Bachpan se.. We both are madly in love with each other. Aur phir uski dadi ki last wish thi to hamara rishta bhi pakka kar diya
Pooja (shocked): What??
Rahul chuckled.
Rahul: Haan.. She is not just my girlfriend. She is my fiancee..
Rahul's smile vanished on realising what he just said.
Rahul: I.. I mean she is my.. my half fiancee..
Pooja frowned.
Pooja: Matlab?
Rahul: I.. I gave her a break. I.. put a hold on our alliance.
Pooja gasped audibly. She could see how much this kid was in love with that girl.
Pooja: Lekin kyu Rahul?
Rahul looked at her with teary eyes and shrugged his shoulders. Pooja sighed. Tears collected in her eyes whereas tears fell from Rahul's eyes. Kush saw him and wiped his tears with his tiny hands.
Kush: No cry. No cry. Fine fine happen
Rahul smiled at him and hugged him whereas Pooja let out a huge sigh feeling helpless.
RohIka were talking with Virushka over video call only because it was Virushka who have video called them.
Rohit: Guys it's your time. Kyu usko waste kar rahe ho?
Anu: Hum waste nahi kar rahe Ro. Mind your tongue.
Virat: Exactly.. We wanted to know what Dr Pooja and Dr Viren said after check up?
Ritz: Everthing is fine
Virat though nodded in yes but was looking at Rohit who blinked in assurance.
Anu: We have decided to enjoy our dating phase again while we were very much happy and normal
Ritz: Go for it
Rohit: I feel now you guys have identified the correct path
Virushka gave them their cheeky wide smile making RohIka sure about their decision of sending them home to spend some alone time. They talked for a while and cut the call.
Virushka for the entire day, enjoyed being with each other.. they were talking on random stuffs.. Sometimes they even talked about their relationship but it only made them feel lighter as they said it to each other.. Virat was also sharing his different emotions at different point of time and them sharing whatever they were feeling was something which was one of the core element which was mising in their relationship after marriage and now they were working on it. The lunch has come to their room only and the dinner was arranged at the terrace with another proper date setup. Virushka literally enjoy their time with each other just like their older days and they were really happy. Virat even sang a song for her and they both danced on a romantic number but the dance was a secret affair happened inside their room which was again decorated with floweres with mild smells and candels.. making it much more romantic than the previous day. Everything was just set up to add fuel to the fire their love was having and they really had a make out session before they fell asleep. Though they have not taken the next step but still they were going ahead in their relationship.. They both knew now their bond has become much more strong and now it's just a matter of time that they take that step too..
On the other side, Viren and Pooja have come to check Rahul while going back to their house. But when Pooja came, she saw Athiya was already inside.
Athiya has just come inside Rahul's room and sat on the bed beside him. Rahul was sitting with closed eyes.. Athiya caressed his hair.
Rahul: How's your day Tia?
Athiya: T.. R. And my day was nice
Rahul sighed and muttered a small sorry to which Athiya rolled her eyes.
Rahul: Kuchh kam tha T?
Athiya hold his hand in hers and kept her head on his shoulder. Rahul kissed on her hair in reflex making Athiya smiled but Rahul closed his eyes tightly on realising what mistake he has done. Lately, he was not able to control himself from showering love over her.
Pooja though was hating disturbing the love birds, she had to disturb them.
Pooja: Hey guys..
Pooja went inside.. Rahul took his hand back from Athiya's hold making her frown in anger and jealosy.
Rahul: You here?
Pooja: Are intro nahi karwaoge mera?
Rahul: Oh haan.. She is Pooja.. And She is Athiya..
Pooja forwarded her hand towards Athiya who reluctantly shook hands with her.
Pooja: Hi
Athiya: Hi..
Rahul: You didn't tell me in the morning you will come
Pooja: Haan woh bas man kiya to..
Pooja stopped receiving glare from Athiya. She looked at Rahul who was giving her why are you awaking a lioness look. There was silence for few seconds but then Athiya spoke.
Athiya: Achchha.. main chalti hoon. Tum log karo apni baatein
Anger and jealosy were clearly visible in her tone. Rahul was not able to understand whether he should feel happy or sad seeing her like that. But before anyone could say anything, Kush ran inside.
Kush: Mumma...
He ran to Pooja and hugged her. And then wave at Rahul.
Athiya (surprised): Mumma...????
Rahul: She is Dr Pooja Tia. My doctor and he is Kush.. her son.
Athiya was feeling embarrassed on realising from whom she was getting jealous. She looked at Rahul who was giving him teasing looks to which she felt more embarrassed..
Athiya: Oh.. nice to meet you Dr Pooja
Athiya said it politely.
Pooja: Same here
Athiya: How's he doing? Usko bahut pain hota hai. Reduce it na please
Pooja looked at Rahul who was just looking here and there rubbing his hands to compose himself. Athiya was too innocent see the reality Pooja thought.
Pooja: Everything will be fine.
Athiya smiled at her. Viren came inside and started checking Rahul. Athiya looked at him.
Rahul: Dr Viren hai. Dr Pooja ke husband aur Vi bhai aur Bhaiya ke doctor jinhone unki treatment ki thi
Athiya nodded in understanding.
Athiya: R theek hai na Doc?
Viren: He is doing good. His vitals are very much under control.
Athiya sighed in relief.
Pooja: Umm.. Athiya if you don't mind, can you go out please?
Athiya though not wanting to go but agreed and left from there. Viren closed the door. Tears fell from Rahul's eyes. Even though he was trying hard to stop them but they were not. Viren sat beside him and took him in a side hug rubbing his arm.
Viren: Have faith.
Rahul wiped his tears and composed himself.
Rahul: I am not gonna give up.
Viren nodded in yes.
Rahul: But I want to be ready. To apki wife ko bolo mere question ka answer de
Pooja: Rahul stop it please
Viren: Kon sa question?
Pooja looked at other side as tears fell from her eyes. Viren looked at Rahul.
Viren: Kon sa question?
Rahul: How much time?
Viren too looked at other side. Rahul chuckled sarcastically.
Rahul: See Main aap dono ko chup karwa sakta hoon hukum chalane se. And Dr Viren.. Take some acting classes from your wife. Though her acting skills are deteriorating day by day but still..
Rahul joked receiving whacks from the doctor couple but ultimately his check up was done with their banter.
___________________________________
It was the time for the third T20 and this time India won the toss and chose to bat. But so many things have changed compared to last two T20s. The main thing being Virushka's relationship which was now stronger and Virat too was behaving more rationally as well as like Cheeku rather than being Virat.. He has started expressing more. On the other side, Rohit's BP too was in control and he was fine now and the main reason was seeing his loved ones in happy space and he too was happy because of that. The Rising Stars' introductory video of Rahul's college has gone viral. Rahul's voice syncing with Athiya's dance was a deadly combination. They were already winning hearts and their hashtag #RahIya was already trending on Instagram. Though there are some people of media who were asking questions over Rahul's participation but none was paying any heed to them. Today for a change, Ritika, Anushka, Athiya and Ahan have come to watch the match at the stadium. And the most excited person was Rahul. He really wanted Athiya to come at the stadium and watch him play.. Though he has never said this wish to anyone, but it was fulfilling and he was happy.
Cameraman was doing the great job as when the boys were practising and Athiya was seen in stands, they show how much viral the video was and how the hashtag was trending. RahIya got tears in their eyes as it was not a happy moment when they had recorded it but they composed themselves.
Rahul and Rohit came to bat.
Rahul (in mind): Tia has come for the first time Rah. You have to give her the gift. She deserves it for being there with you.
Rahul was in another mood today. He was hitting the ball from the first ball itself and he was hitting nicely. Ben stokes was glaring at him but his glares were royally ignored.
Rahul has scored his 50 in just 30 balls. Rohit was enjoying his innings from the non striker's end. His brother was in another mood today. Ritz, Anushka and Athiya were having wide smiles on their faces seeing Rahul playing like that. Soon Rohit got out after completing his 50. Virat joined Rahul at the middle.
HulRat were smashing the ball hard. Soon enough Rahul reached his 90s and was batting at 94. Virat asked him to play calmly till his century. Rahul looked at the dug out and saw Rohit, Harry and Jassi were praying for him.. he looked at Virat who though was not showing but was praying for him for sure. He looked at the VIP box where Ritz was sitting with her fingers crossed.. Anushka and Athiya too were praying for him. There is nothing which can go wrong now he thought.
Ben Stokes was bowling and he bowled a bouncer which Rahul left easily. The next ball was length ball Rahul hit a massive 6 to complete his century. Rohit was jumping like a kid in dug out with happy tears falling from his eyes. Rest all were cheering for him. Crowd was cheering for him. Rahul took off his helmet and gloves. He raised his bat and helmet in the air. He then ran to Virat and hugged him tightly. It was a proper replica of his hug of his maiden test century. Virat too held him protectively and was occasionally patting his head. Tears were falling from Rahul's eyes and why not.. it was his first century with his real identity.. As Rahul Sharma.. His loved ones are present there watching him hitting century.. what else he wanted.. Rahul composed himself and wiped his tears with Virat's T-shirt as usual and then broke the hug.
Virat: Proud of you Rahuliya
Rahul: Don't call me that
They both chuckled and Rahul looked at the holy thread in his wrist. Rahul kissed it and looked at Athiya who was still clapping for him with her glossy eyes. Virat ruffled Rahul's hair which brought him back to match.
With Rahul and Virat's hard hitting in the end, And Rohit's contribution at top, India gave massive target of 245 to England.
England as usual started very well with 65-0 after 6 overs. But then Virat played his master stroke and asked Rohit to ball who was looking at him shocked for few moments but then he finally sink in the news that he was asked to ball by his captain. Rohit was clinical in first 4 balls giving only 2 runs. But the magic happened on the 5th ball and Jos Buttler got out. The crowd cheered loudly and all the team members' morale got boosted up as they had finally got the breakthrough.
But their happiness was short lived as they heard DJ was playing a song and the music for the same heard shocking everyone in the team except Rahul who was busy in some joke with Harry who was trying to keep him busy as he too had identified the music. It was music of "Tera Mujse Hai Pehle ka Naata Koi" song. RohiRat were signing DJ to stop it but they were unnoticed. Ritz and Anu were highly scared. Jaddu, Bhuvi and Harry were keeping Rahul busy. RohiRat were about to go towards DJ but saw Rahul Bhai has already reached there and he made him changed the song at the correct time. RohiRat sighed in relief. Rohit turned to Rahul and hugged him tightly. Rahul though was first startled but then hugged him back. He rubbed His back.
Rahul: Bhaiya.. kya hua?
Rohit has tears in his eyes but he composed himself in the hug only. He broke the hug and before Rahul could understand anything, Virat hugged him tightly hiding his face in the hug.
Rahul: Vi bhaiya.. kya hua?
Rahul was all confused but he could see that all his team members were quite tensed and the hugs he got from his brothers were of relief. Virat broke the hug and ruffled Rahul's hair. Rohit kissed on his forehead. Rahul smiled widely at both of them. The team shared a group hug and then turned their focus back to the match. RohiRat saw RiShka and signed them to calm down as things are under control. RiShka sighed in relief. Rahul too show a thumbs up to them making them smile.
But all this was observed by a person and he was going towards DJ when someone came and took him away.
England team was fighting back and they were now 124-3 after 11 overs with their best all rounder Ben Stokes playing. But Jaddu came and he took the wicket. And so as Bhuvi and Harry. Once again Ben was playing.. handling one end but wickets keep falling from the other side.
Bhuvi was bowling and Ben hit for 6. Rahul was keeping the wickets and he signed Bhuvi to bowl outside swinger which will go outside off stump. Bhuvi nodded in yes and Bowled an out swinger which edged the bat and caught by Rahul. Ben was shocked but he was out. He saw the reply which show the set up of his wicket and cursed internally and went to dug out still glaring Rahul who made him out again. Soon Enough England team got all out after Ben's wicket and India for the first time was managed to whitewash a series against England.
All were really happy. The crowd was cheering hard. The team decided to give lap of honour to thank them for their love and support. Once all the support staff joined the team, they started with the lap. Virat and Rahul Dravid were leading the lap followed by rest all but the highlight was RoHul. Rohit has picked Rahul on his back and was giving him the piggyback ride and Rahul was fully enjoying it. Ritz and Anu were chuckling seeing them whereas Athiya and Ahan were really happy seeing Rahul this much happy.
As the team came near VIP box, Virat gave a flying kiss to Anu which she too returned it with the same. It was shown on the big screen making them both blushed a little.
Once they were done with lap, The post match presentation started. Rahul was given Player of the Match and Series both awards.
Ravi: Congratulations Rah
Rahul: Thank you sir
Ravi: So happy to see you doing so well kiddo..
Rahul again thanked him. Ravi cleared his throat.
Ravi: Okay let me get back to my job. Rahul you seemed set from the dug out today.
Rahul chuckled.
Rahul: I wanted to play as much good cricket as I can. This was my first series with My Real Identity.. which I have by birth so I wanted to make it count and special
Ravi: And indeed it is special you have got this player of the series award
Rahul: Well.. Frankly this award is good but it really didn't matter. I made my family happy and made them smile.. it was my award. More than me, they deserve it. Past few months were hard on all of us as a family.. even the team too was helping us a lot since past one month.. so yeah it's good that we have each other's back and we know if we stick together, we can handle the storms and we are just doing it.
Ravi: Okay so as per the tradition of this series set by your brothers, I am bound to ask and I know you will give names.. So any dedication? Would you like to dedicate this award to anyone?
Rahul chuckled.
Rahul: Well yes.. of course.. as I said, past few months were actually hard for the entire family.. and this award is specially dedicated to Bhaiya.. Mumma.. Vi bhaiya.. Anu bhabhi.. My team.. and..
Rahul looked towards Athiya.
Rahul: And T..
RohiRat coughed. Rahul cleared his throat.
Rahul: And the friends who are like family
Ravi: Fair enough.. But you forgot Ritika?
Rahul: No.. I said Mumma.. She is The Mumma
Ravi: Oh so sweet of you. Now I'll not take much time of you. Go enjoy the victory.
The team celebrated like mad people and Ritz, Anu and Athiya and Ahan too joined them for the same in dressing room. All were happily jumping and dancing except Ritz of course who was sitting and clapping
RahIya were jumping together when Athiya felt quite dizzy. Athiya stumbled but Rahul timely hold her.
Rahul (scared): Kya hua Tia?
Athiya: Kuchh nahi chakkar sa aa gaya
Rahul (scared & shouting): Doctor.. doctor..
Team doctor: Relax Rah. I have already checked her and asked for blood test
Anu: Aur blood test aur sare tests karwa bhi liye hai. Reports ane ke baad problem pata chalegi na
Rahul: What?? Lekin mujhe kisi ne bataya kyu nahi?
Ahan: Je.. I mean Bro.. you too were not well na. Please calm down. Di is better okay
Athiya: Yes R. I am fine okay. Calm down
Rohit: Achchha ab waise bhi ghar hi Jana hai. Tia.. take rest okay
Athiya nodded in yes.
Rahul: Haan. Hamesha bandariya ban ke uchhalti rehti hai
Athiya: Oh hello.. I am not bandariya
Rahul: You are..
Athiya: Main bandariya to tum Donkey..
Rahul was about to say something but Virat held him and went from there and Anu did the same with Athiya.
In the bus, Rahul and Harry were sitting together.
Harry: Why are you sulking so much?
Rahul: Tune dekha nahi kisi ne mujhe kuchh nahi bataya
Harry: They are elders I suppose and uske khud ke bhai ko pata hai. Why are you being so authoratitive?
Rahul didn't say anything and just sighed and leaned his head at the headrest and closed his eyes.
Harry: You look exhausted though not much.
Rahul: Haan woh bas aise hi aaj bhi trigger hua tha to thoda sa..
Harry: Take care
Rahul nodded in yes. They reached hotel and Sharmas and Kohlis took their luggage and left from hotel to SK Mansion along with Shettys. Athiya was in her room sleeping and Rahul was looking at her from the door. Virat came to him and put his hand on his shoulder.
Virat: It's okay Rah. She is fine. Aur kal aisa ho to Dr Viren ki hospital me dikha ayenge okay?
Rahul nodded in yes. Virat took him to his room and found Rohit and Ritz were already there. Rahul lie down on the bed keeping his head in Ritz's lap. RohiRat smiled at their bond. Virat went to his room and once Rahul was in deep sleep, RohIka too went to their room and slept.
On the next day, Ritz was eating fruits. Anu was preparing breakfast with kaki. RohiRat were looking at some mails they have got. Ahan came from outside and was lost in his thoughts.
Ritz: Are Ahan aa gaye?
Rohit: Kidhar gaya tha?
Anu: Are woh Athu ke reports lene gaya tha. Aa gaye?
As Ahan was not replying, all were surprised. Rohit made him sit on the sofa. Virat made him have some water.
Rohit: Kya hua Ahan?
Ahan looked at him in daze. Virat was rubbing his back.
Rohit: Kya hua bachcha? Reports mili?
Ahan nodded in yes
Ritz: Kya hai reports me?
Ahan: Di..
Anu: Athu kya?
Ahan: Di.. She..
Ahan sighed burrying his face in the palms. All got tensed. Rohit took the reports from his hand and opened it.
Rohit: What the hell?
Rohit almost threw the reports on the table. Virat took it and was shocked.
Ritz: Kya hua?
Anu took the reports from Virat's hands and checked. She too was shocked.
Ritz: Koi batayega kya hua?
Anu first made her sit on the sofa. But again there was silence. Ritz was getting irritated.
Ritz: Are main baith bhi gayi ab to bolo.
Rohit: Tia..
Ritz: Tia kya?
Rohit: She.. she is pregnant..
Ritz was shocked hearing this.
