Virat got up first as he was excited and nervous for the first match of his career. He just hoped everything goes well. He got freshen up and saw Rohit was still sleeping.

'Rohit get up, we will get late' said Virat shaking him out of his sleep.

'Vi yaar sone de abhi time hai'

'Rohit uth ja na it's my first match'

'Ha aur 5 min please'

'Rohit get up, u slept so early yesterday. How are u so sleepy now ?'

Virat tried again but Rohit didn't budge a bit. First time Virat saw that how much Rohit could sleep.

He didn't know what to do.

He paced around the room to think what he can do. He thought of one idea but was little scared knowing Rohit's reaction.

He took a glass of water and sprinkled it on his face. He did it 2-3 times then finally Rohit woke up.

'What are u doing Vi?' he asked a little irritated.

'Wo u were not getting up and we have to board the bus in half hour. I am trying from so much time but u were not budging a bit. So I thought .. I am sorry but I could not think of any other way' ranted Virat nervously.

'Vi calm down I am not angry, next time if I don't get up na then u can pour whole glass ok. You have no idea how hard it is to wake me up.'

'Now go and get freshen up.'

Rohit freshened up and they went into the bus. Virat was extremely nervous. Rohit just held his hand and assured him.

It was a one day match. MS won the toss and they were batting first.

'Ready ?' Mahi asked Virat who was tapping his leg nervously in the dugout.

'I don't know Mahi bhai' said Virat little nervous.

'Kiddo remember that u have worked very hard for this day. But don't get scared just go and express urself. Trust ur abilities. U will be the best'

'Thanks Bhai' said Virat with utmost respect.

'Now Go and mark ur entry in international cricket Virat' said Mahi.

Rohit hugged him tightly wishing him the best. Virat took a deep breath and entered the field. He touched the ground and took the blessings.

Virat started off slow. Then it was no stopping for him. He hit the ball around the park. But there was issue with the short ball, everyone could see it.

Rohit was sitting and praying that he should not get hurt. The team was cheering so loudly that Virat was beyond happy to hear that.

He scored an amazing 80 runs on his first match.

Everyone patted his back and Rohit along with Mahi bhai gave him a hug.

Now they had to defend 300 runs. They took some early wickets. On the next hall there was catch to be taken and Rohit was underneath it.

He took the catch but lost his balance and landed on his head. It was really a difficult catch. Virat rushed to him.

'Rohit, Ro u okay ?' Asked A worried Virat.

'Give me a sec' said Rohit getting up but he was feeling a bit dizzy. Virat supported him. He went off the field leaving worried Virat out there.

They won the match after that as it was an important wicket.

Virat immediately rushed to Rohit who laying on the table.

'U are okay na' asked Virat with tears in his eyes. Because he was very scared. Rohit was the only person who was understanding him and so close to him. To see him like that it scared him.

'Vi don't worry' said Rohit assuring him.

Virat was holding his hand and keeping an ice pack where he got hurt. Mahi came and watched all this how Virat was taking care of Rohit.

'Virat u have to be at the presentation today. As it was ur first match you will get a recognition award something like that'

'No I can't go Mahi bhai. Rohit is hurt here, I can't go leaving him'

'Vi u go I am okay'

'No no I cannot go there' said Virat panicking a bit.

Mahi went to him and kept his hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

'Virat calm down. Don't worry about Rohit, Yuvi is coming here he will be with him. You come with me'

Rohit assured him and Virat went with Mahi bhai.

'Mahi bhai is it necessary to go out there. Perform toh kar Diya na' said Virat not wanting to go out there.

'Virat what's wrong? Tell me, why don't u want to go there?' Asked Mahi sensing something else.

'Ummm bhai I feel really odd to give those answers to their questions. It gets a little difficult'

'Virat u have played such a good knock. The confidence which was there on the field should reflect in your words and ur demeanour.'

'Don't worry about anything else and answer honestly. I am standing here Only so u are not alone'

Virat went and answered confidently after Mahi supporting him. And whenever he was confused he looked at Mahi and he assured him that he was there.

Virat and Mahi went in the dressing Room where Virat rushed to Rohit.

'Why are u getting up ?' Asked Virat seeing him get up.

'Vi bus mai jana hai na' said Rohit softly.

'Ha toh u can tell me na I will help u' said Virat worriedly

'Vi I m hurt in the head not in the legs' said Rohit

'Toh kya hua' said Virat and supported him. Rohit didn't say anything seeing him that worried.

They reached the hotel and went in their rooms. Rohit noticed Virat was very silent and worried.

After freshening up they sat on the bed eating their dinner.

'Vi kitne baar samjhana padhega to eat all the vegetables' said Rohit.

Virat didn't say anything and ate it. He was still scared seeing Rohit hit on his head. So he didn't argue with him.

'Vi kya hua ? Why are u not talking to me?' Asked Rohit seeing him so silent.

'Kuch nahi' said Virat and continued eating.

'Vi bata toh kya hua hai ? Why are u so silent?' Asked Rohit again after sometime while they were laying on bed.

'Ummm i got really scared seeing u like that' said Virat in a low voice but Rohit heard it clearly.

'Vi Kuch bhi toh nahi hua mujhe.. I am completely fine' said Rohit assuring him.

'U were not responding when I called ur name. That really scared me. I just have you Ro and seeing u like that it was just...' said Virat not wanting to continue further.

Rohit hugged him and said softly - "Vi look Kuch bhi nahi hua .. yeh sab it happens baba.. don't worry okay. I am here with you not going anywhere'

Virat hugged him tightly and said - "I just don't want have this fear of losing any other person in my life now. You have been a big brother to me and I just can't ... I don't want you to go away from me'

Rohit caressed his head and said - 'Vi it's just a small bump on my head nothing to worry. And I am not going anywhere so don't u be scared.'

'Pakka' asked Virat like a child.

'Ha pakka' said Rohit back.

'Waise nice u kept my nickname' said Rohit.

'What nickname' asked Virat confused.

'U called me Ro so many times today.. I like it' said Rohit.

'Thank you for everything Ro' said Virat hugging him tightly and closed his eyes.

'Sleep now don't give ur small brain so much stress' said Rohit patting his head.

'Good night Ro'

'Night Vi'
