Mahi- Cheeku the imp part is remaining! We have to know what did they do to you!?
He asked stopping him from going anywhere.

Rohit saw Virat's breathing quicken at that mention. He knew this was the most difficult part. He sent the juniors outside.

Vi- they did nothing except beat me for hours! Cut my stomach and back using knife. Shock me in a dark room so that I don't remember anything. After 15 days of torture one day someone freed me from their gang having a little mercy on me.
As soon as I got out I met with an accident and rest u know! I forgot everything.

He said robotically and got up to go to his room. Ash came forward to help him.

Vi- thanks Ash! I will manage.
He said and with help of crutches he went to his room closing the door.

Mahi- Jaddu submit this recording today itself and Ash see what the formalities are!
He said giving them the tape.

Ash- don't worry! We will look into everything.
He said assuring him.

Other foreign teammates left bidding bye to them. Only Ab and Faf were there along with Juniors, Seniors, Ro and Mahi bhai.

Mahi- everyone should take rest! It's quite late!

Everyone retired to their rooms. Rohit was still rooted on the same place where he was sitting with Virat. He rested his back on sofa don't know what he was feeling.

He was numb.

In Virat's room,

He entered in his room and locked the door. But in a second he opened it again but kept it shut without locking it. Locked room gave him anxiety.

The minute he said what had happened to him, he could feel Rohit going into shock as he had left his hand. This, this exact thing he didn't want, he knew Rohit was holding himself guilty and responsible for this but he was not.

It was him, his own mistakes!

He sat beside the window in soaking the air and thinking about everything specially Ro and Mahi bhai.

It was almost 2 am when Rohit felt a hand shaking his shoulder. He woke up startled thinking something happened to Virat.

Vi- it's me, calm down!

Rohit sat up and rubbed his eyes only to see Virat standing at his side with support. He made him sit first.

Ro- tu kya kar raha hai? Itne raat ko?
He checked the time and saw it's 2 am.

Vi- why are u sleeping on sofa? My room was open!

At the same time Ab came downstairs, Virat saw it.

Ab- checked ur room, u were not there? Oh biscuit, u awake?

Virat was surprised. He looked at Ro and raised his eyebrows questioning what is going on!

Vi- umm ya nothing, I was just going to my room!
He said getting up but Rohit made him sit down.

Ab- biscuit no need! I am just going back to my room. I was just checking on Rohit as my sleep broke.
Good night guys!
He went back to his room.

Ro- u know u are behaving very different with him!
He is feeling bad I think!

Vi- instead of asking that why I am awake and why I woke up, you are telling me this?
He frowned and whined annoyingly.

Ro- why do u stand up again and again!? Sit down calmly!
He said making him sit again.

Virat just sat there annoyed with him.

Ro- ab batayega? Why are u awake like an owl?
