Brothers by Heart ✅

Part 71

Virat returned to the office. He went to the cabin and saw Rohit resting on the couch.

He checked first whether he had his tablets or not.

He sat beside him and caress his forehead which had frown lines on it. Rohit immediately realised it was Virat, he shifted himself on his lap.

Virat asked - 'You are awake ?'

Rohit (guilty) - 'I am sorry Vi, I am really really sorry.'

Virat (softly caressing his hair) - 'I didn't know we had 'sorry' word in our conversations. Dont make me feel like an outsider Ro.'

Rohit said getting up - 'Nahi Vi aisa nahi hai but I was at fault .. I shouldn't have talk to you like that.'

Virat - 'Ro we dont have any specific pattern while talking to each other right .. its you and me .. hum kaise bhi baat kar sakte hai ... even if that means shouting at each other from one corner to another.'

Rohit said sadly - 'But still Vi .. u were worried about me and I said .. (could not continue further)'

Virat said softly - 'Acha, aise toh I had burst out on you 100 times .. so did i say sorry 100 times.'

Rohit said being upset - 'But Vi I hurt u na ..'

Virat (cut him off) - 'Ro please stop thinking like that .. U can never hurt me.. I am not at all upset on you. I understand what u said and why u said.'

Rohit (questioningly) - 'U do ?'

Virat said softly - 'Ofcourse I understand .. session mai jake kuch toh asar hoga na dimag pe' (chuckling)

Rohit didn't like that joke so he said - 'Aise mat bol ..'

Virat dismissing that topic - 'Acha uth ab .. I brought ur fav brownies. Lunch toh kiya hai na?'

Rohit - 'Ha I did it .. U have ur lunch first .. phir hum sath mai khate hai brownies.'

In the cafe -

Aman was having coffee alone .. Jassi came there and joined him.

Jassi said - 'U know na if u drink more coffee than this .. u will end up in hospital like Virat bhai !'

Aman got out of his thoughts and said - 'Wo I didn't get enough sleep'

Jassi asked - 'May I ask why ? If u want to share it with me'

Aman said tiredly- 'Wo after all that .. it was very difficult to sleep .. so I started drinking and Virat sir and Rohit sir got to know that !'

Jassi said - 'You should have not opted that choice for the first place'

Aman - 'I know .. and now I have promised them I will not drink again .. so getting little difficult to sleep'

Jassi said - 'I can understand, but it will get better'

Aman asked like a child - 'how ?'

Jassi - 'You should try to talk to Virat bhai and Rohit bhai .. I know they understand u better than anyone else ..'

Aman - 'I don't want to bother them by my problems'

Jassi said softly - 'if u don't share it and they come to know .. it will be worse .. and it is not bothering them if u share ur problems ... they are the best brothers anyone can get .. and they will understand you'

Virat and Rohit had entered the cafe just then and heard the last bit what Jassi said.. they felt really nice and warm.

Virat said coming towards them - 'Jassi .. what are u teaching Aman ?'

Jassi got embarrassed and said - 'Kuch nahi bhai aise hi .. I was just telling him not Drink more coffee'

Rohit - 'Aman why are u drinking coffee ? Have u not slept properly ?'

Aman - 'I am getting sleep but for not long .. so that's why .. but I swear I am not drinking'

Jassi asked seeing his face - 'Why are u so scared ? U can tell them na'

Virat - 'Aman u are still not comfortable in talking to us ?'
He asked feeling upset about it as he is still scared.

Aman - 'No sir it's nothing like that'
He said.

Jassi - 'Aman what do u like to eat ? Let's order it .. haina bhai ?'
He said trying to lift Aman's mood.

Rohit - 'Ha done !'
Saying this Rohit orders it.

Aman was watching how Jassi is so comfortable with Virat and Rohit. And how he talks about them.

Jassi said softly yet nervously - 'Virat bhai .. aap khilado Mujhe .. kitne din huye'

Virat smiled and forwarded a bite of Samdwhich they were having .. Rohit smiled at Jassi's childishness which was coming back slowly.

At night -

Virat and Rohit were having tea as coffee was not allowed .. they were sitting in the lawn.

Rohit - 'Vi, I know u are worried about me .. and am sorry I know I had to take care of myself .. I just ..'

Virat continued - 'U just were thinking about whether really u can forgive everyone or not ... not because of me or Rits but u as an individual'

Rohit looked at him shocked .. because that was exactly what he was thinking and worried about !

Virat said seeing his expressions - 'Aise kya dekh raha .. mana ki I need sessions to get into track of all these feelings .. but I still know u na'

Rohit rested his head on his shoulder and said -
'You are right .. u know me better than anyone else .. it's just that when I thought about all this .. I was just thinking that do I really forgive them or not'

Virat - 'Don't stress urself over that .. just think how do u really feel being around them for starters .. Jassi and Mahi bhai ..'

Rohit sighed and said - 'U know being with Mahi bhai it gives so much of protectiveness .. I can't help but talk to him everytime I see him'

Virat said softly - 'I understand Ro .. just don't think about it too much .. it affects ur health.. as u told me that we will go according to the flow and not force ourselves'

Rohit said back - 'Ya u r right .. session se kuch jyada hi Akal aa gayi hai tujhe Mai' he added chuckling.

Virat laughed with him.

Rohit - 'But on a serious not how u are feeling about it ? Aaj 3rd session tha na .. tu thik hai na going there ?'
He asked in all concern.

Virat - 'Start mai I was really uncomfortable.. but now i guess I could talk and I think it is helping a bit'

Rohit said - 'Even if u are going there na .. u know that u can talk to me about anything and anytime'

Virat said softly - 'Ofcourse i know .. u are the only person that I can come to .. and also thanks for being by my side in the outhouse ..'

Rohit hugged him at that and they retired for the day.
