Virat was walking aimlessly till he saw an Auto and he was so relieved. He literally ran with his shaky legs.

'Aap Virat Kohli ho na..', the auto driver asked in surprise and shock.

He could not believe that the Virat Kohli was standing in front of him.

Vi- Ji, aap Mujhe yeh hotel par drop karoge?

He asked tiredly.

Driver- ha sir, pls aap bethiye na! Mai aapka bahot bada fan hu sir!

He said with an excitement, Virat could only offer a soft yet grateful smile to him! He cleaned the seat even though Virat was denying him.

Virat rested his head and closed his eyes in content for getting an auto. Though he was fit but walking this much could drain anyone.

That lady's words kept ringing in his head.

Auto driver looked at Virat through mirror, he looked really tired.

Driver- Sir, aapko pani chahiye toh waha aapke side mai hi hai!

Vi- thank you!

He replied softly.

He didn't want to risk anything so he avoided taking water.

He knew that driver was genuine but after meeting that lady he was certainly paranoid and also after his car incident.

He checked his phone and finally it had some signal. There were around 20+ missed calls of Rohit and 5-6 of Rahul bhai and Bhuvi.

Bhuvi- Virat! Where the hell are you?

As soon as the call got connected he was greeted with concern yet a very stern voice which was so unlike bhuvi.

Vi- bhuvi pls, I am too tired for an explanation right now! U meet me at entrance of hotel in 15 mins!

He hanged up the call and They reached the hotel after 15 mins, Virat gave autograph and money to the auto driver!

Bhuvi saw him getting out of Auto and rushed towards him. He saw auto driver was helping Virat.

Bhuvi- u are coming by an auto, where is ur car? Where did u go?

Vi- KBC later bhuvi just help now!

Bhuvi observed him stumbling on his feet, he supported him. He thanked the driver.

Bhuvi- are u okay?

He asked in concern seeing him tired and exhausted.

Virat took support of him and walked in the hotel. They reached Virat's room and bhuvi helped him in getting freshen up.

When Virat lay down on the bed at that time Bhuvi noticed his feet, which were swelled badly and there were multiple shoe bites.. cuts and the feet were bleeding from that cuts..

Bhuvi- what happened to your feet Vi? How it got so injured?

He asked being concerned but didn't receive any response only to see Virat resting his head on headboard, having pained expression on his face.

Rohit came in the room just to check for the nth time that if Virat is back and he was.

Rohit rushes to him seeing him like that. He saw his feet and touches them with soft hands.

Vi- ahh.. don't, don't touch it.

He hissed in pain, his eyes still shut due to tiredness and pain.

Rohit saw Bhuvi who was clueless as he was. They called doctor who gave ointment and ice packs for reducing the swelling.

Rahul bhai came in the room. Virat opened his eyes and saw him, he just mouthed that he got some clue.

He shook his head at this boy, still worrying about the clues.. what is he gonna do with these two boys.. worrying about each other all the time..

Ro- Vi, it will pain a little. We have to apply ointment on it.

He said in low voice.

Rohit's eyes glistening with tears, seeing the wounds..

Vi- no, Ro.. don't touch it.. it's paining..

He said in panic feeling so much pain.

Rohit felt so relieved to hear Ro from him after almost a week where he was calling him skip and captain only.

Rahul bhai- Kiddo we have to treat that wounds

he tried softly caressing his hair.

'no, bhai, pls.. pls' Virat tried again, tears streaming down his face..

Rahul bhai took him in a side hug and Rohit applied ointment with feather like touch.. and blowing air in between.

Tears were flowing through Virat's eyes, hissing on every touch, Rahul bhai kept rubbing his back comforting him.

Bhuvi arranged dinner for both of them. Virat had calmed down now but was in pain.

Rahul bhai and Bhuvi had left the room leaving Virat and Rohit.

Rohit helped Virat to get into a sitting position, he could see he was still in pain..

Ro- Come, have dinner then you can take medicines which will reduce the pain

He said softly forwarding him a bite.

They completed their dinner in silence.

Ro- Where were you Virat?

He asked not able to stop himself.

But Virat stayed silent on that which irked Rohit.

'Where were you ? Why Didn't u inform anyone? How irresponsible u can be?' Rohit snapped at him, he was really worried about him.

Virat looked at him and remembered that lady's words- 'Rohit is not the person as he seems to be'

How could someone say that about his Ro?

He looked at Rohit to only find concern in his eyes for him.

'Virat', Rohit called to get his lost attention.

Vi- Umm I really want to rest, as u can see captain, I am tired, so please leave

He said leaning back on the pillow.

He said that because,

A- he was tired and not in correct frame of mind to think anything.

B- he wanted to see if Rohit leaves him in this condition where he is not able to put his foot down and walk by himself.

'I am not gonna listen to ur stubborn self, I am staying with you', declared Rohit and sat by his side.

Virat just closed his eyes and shifted closer to Rohit seeing him staying.

He was a bit terrified today on the lost road, for a moment it felt he was not going back to Ro and will never be able to find out what was troubling him.

'Where did u go Vi?', asks Ro in a low voice.

Virat sighed at his question, said, 'u know I am so exhausted, so don't ask anything'

'Atleast tell me, how ur feet got injured so much? please..', Rohit asked again because it was disturbing him.

Vi- My car was punctured, didn't had signal so had to walk, don't know how many miles it was! After sometime I lost track of it

He said tiredly shifting his head in his lap.

Virat was happy Rohit didn't push him or say anything as he would do 2 days back.

'Ro, it's paining so much', Virat said vulnerably with some tears, letting his strong guard down.

Rohit himself was feeling pain seeing his feet.

He just stroked his hair, to get him some sleep. 'It will get better', he said.

Rohit was having hard time getting sleep seeing Virat in that condition.

He felt his nightmare coming true. Virat was injured for second time! First the practice incident and now this.

Rohit rested his head on headboard. And was drifted back to his thoughts.

'You are not doing right by pushing him away, it is just hurting him!', voice echoed in his head.

Rohit just closed his eyes to block those thoughts. Virat stirred in his sleep due to pain, he kept pillow under his feet.

Next morning:

Virat woke up first to see Rohit sleeping in sitting position. He kept pillows behind his back for him to get comfortable.

Due to bandages being applied on his feet, he was unable to get out of bed. He tried, but it only made things worse and made his feet hurt badly.

'Ro, get up yaar', virat said shaking him.

Sitting on the bed and the pain both irritated him. He was also hungry because he hadn't eaten enough all day yesterday.

Virat reached out, grabbed the glass of water, and poured it all over Rohit's face.

He was aware that was the only thing that could wake up his lazy, sleepy panda.

Being irritated by his behavior, Rohit inquired, 'What did you do that for?'

His shocked face caused Virat to roll his eyes.

Virat was annoyed and said, 'Stop staring at my feet for godsake, I am hungry, go hurry up.'

Rohit just did as he said because he knew how irritated Virat gets when he sits still, especially when he is sick and literally has mood swings.

'Rohit hurry up, how much time will you take? It isn't your marriage today to take so much time to get ready', Virat yelled.

Rohit came out and saw Virat's annoyed face.

He helped him by supporting him to get freshen up and get ready. Ro went to get new first aid and breakfast.

'benstokes pata nahi what was I thinking to go that horrified place and lady'

'now I got hurt and I can't execute my second part, I have to think something else to find out'

He was just thinking all this when his phone beeped with a msg, it was a voice message,

'Rohit.. please don't do this to me, I won't be able to live! Please Sharma I am sorry! Please! Sharma.. Sharma.. don't'

Phone slipped from Virat's hand in shock.

'Here's your breakfast', Rohit entered and got him out of his shocked state.

He bent down to pick up his phone, Ro handed him that.

'U okay?'

'Ya I am fine, just irritated and hungry!'

Virat said trying to hide his feelings from him. This message just confused him more.

'What is he gonna do?', he thought.
