Yuvi made Virat sit on the couch. He was silent all the way. Mahi gave him water which he took with trembling hands.

Rohit arrived after half hour. He saw Virat sitting on the couch with his head down and hands shaking.

"What are u doing here Vi?" Asked Rohit confused. He sat by his side.

"Answer Virat .. what were u doing there in the park alone ? And have u seen the time ? Couldn't u call us?" Asked Mahi sternly yet concerned.

Rohit noticed Virat flinched at the tone. His hands were shaking more now.

Rohit signalled Mahi not to shout.

"Vi kya hua .. tell me. Why were u there?" Rohit asked holding his trembling hands in his firm one.

Virat didn't know how to say .. he was ashamed may b because he didn't have a home.

"Vi are u okay ? What happened ?" Rohit again asked softly.

"Wo .. Today was supposed to be my last day at orphanage" he said in a low voice.

"The orphanage which we saw on the way that was the same where u lived ?" Yuvi asked this time and Virat nodded.

"Last day matlab Vi ?" Asked Rohit wanting to know.

"After 18 years of age we have to find our own home. They gave me time till this tour. But I was unable to find as this tour was in Sir lanka. So they assigned my bed to someone else" Virat said in a low voice.

"How did u end up at a park ?" Rohit asked.

"I tried to get a hotel for today .. but ummm it was very costly" said Virat fidgeting his fingers in Rohit's hold.

"Why didn't u call anyone of us ?" Asked Mahi in normal tone.

"I didn't want to trouble u all" Virat said in a low voice scared of Mahi.

"And did u knew this when u left the airport in the taxi" asked Rohit.

Virat just nodded at that. Rohit left his hand seeing him nod. Virat noticed that and felt immediately empty.

"Unbelievable this kid" murmured Mahi which Virat heard.

Virat felt very different sitting with them for now. Because he had been sinking this feeling of leaving a place which he considered home whether he had good experiences or bad.

He didn't think that anyone would be worried after knowing all this. He himself was yet to come to terms that he didn't have a home now.

"Vi u could have told us" said Rohit after sometime.

"I am sorry .. I didn't know how ?" Said Virat tiredly.

Yuvi went to bring food for him.

Mahi saw how tried he looked. He sat beside him but Virat shifted closer to Rohit.

"Cheeku I am sorry for scolding u bacha" said Mahi seeing him scared.

"I was worried seeing u like that in park" he added softly.

"U yelled at me and called me Virat" Virat said like a child.

"I was really worried for you bacha.. I am sorry Cheeku" said Mahi sincerely. Virat got a bit normal hearing that.

"I don't know what to do now" said Virat tiredly.

Rohit and Mahi were going to say something but stopped hearing Virat.

"I lost the only place I had .. I knew this was coming but when I left it .. it felt empty." said Virat remembering him leaving it.

"Vi its okay to feel like that. But we are here na .. u can stay with me at my house" said Rohit.

"I don't want to intrude Rohit." said Virat not wanting to trouble him. And didn't know if Rohit's parents would agree.

"Cheeku .. why dont u stay with Rohit until we find a new place for you" said Mahi in between stopping Rohit who was going to object.

"Will that be okay Vi ?" asked Rohit.

"Okay" said Virat.

"Today no one is going anywhere .. Cheeku see I have brought dinner. Ro u also stay here .. pair morning mai we will do breakfast at your place." said Yuvi arranging dinner for Virat.

"Bhuk nhi hai Yuvi Pa" said Virat looking at the food. He clearly didn't had the appetite to eat today.

"Arey aise kaise bhuk nhi hai Vi .." said Rohit taking the plate and feeding him. Virat gulped it not wanting to eat it.

"Chup chap kha Cheeku .. no nakhre" said Mahi.

Virat had his food forcefully as Rohit was feeding him. "Please bas ho Gaya" said Virat not feeling good.

"Kuch khaya toh nahi hoga Vi tune .. please kha le" said Rohit.

"I can't anymore please" said Virat and felt to puke.

He saw the basin nearby and threw his whole food out.

Rohit rushed to him and patted his back. He helped to clean up.

"Sorry Yuvi pa" Virat said being guilty of wasting the food.

"Koi baat nahi bache .. lay down u will feel better." Said Yuvi feeling concerned for him.

Virat lay down in Rohit's lap. "Sorry Vi I should not have forced u" he said guilty.

"It's okay" he said triedly.

"Did u eat something bad outside Cheeku?" Asks Mahi caressing his cheek.

"No bhai I didn't" he said honestly.

"Rohit u both take the guest room. I have arranged everything there" said Yuvi.

Rohit helped Virat to walk as he was really tired with walking and searching hotels.

"Ro will it really be okay if I stay with u" asked Virat while they were ready to sleep.

"Ha Vi koi problem nahi .. u can stay as long as u want to" said Rohit.

"What do u want to ask Vi ? Don't hesitate" said Rohit seeing he wanted to say something.

"Ro ur parents will they b okay with me staying!" He asked hesitantly.

"Ha Vi unhe kya problem hogi ?" Rohit said casually

"Nahi matlab" began Virat hesitantly.

"Kya Vi" asked Rohit again.

"Wo pehle na whenever us the orphan kids used to talk to other kids .. their parents used to take them away and not let us play with them or talk with them so" he said hesitantly.

Rohit held him closer and said - "Aisa kuch nahi hoga Vi.. trust me .. my parents will never say like this"

Virat just cuddled to him and slept.
