Virat and Rohit arrived in the team room to find the ICT waiting there for them.

Rohit nodded at Virat to begin the process

Virat - So next week there will a launch of this gym where it will be a recovery programme plus fitness centre .. As BCCI has signed the first contract u all will be accessing that for recovery and ur fitness when in Mumbai .. As NCA is already there .. this is a trial basis 6 month contract to check if the people can have the recovery of injuries here .. So you can coordinate with our team for other details.

Rohit - They physios will be from BCCI .. the materialistic things which are important will be provided by us .. Aman will give u the forms . U can fill out ur details of previous injuries and everything

Aman - Sir Saurav sir and Rahul sir have arrived from the BCCI and NCA office

Virat and Rohit got up for handshakes and sat professionally

Rahul Dravid - Hi .. Sorry to inform u late about the contract but that was required very urgently.. recovery can be easier from Mumbai here

Rohit - No worries about it

Saurav - Everything set then

Virat - will be ready by next week .. ur players should have no problem

Mahi - so it will be compulsory for team now to access this recovery centre

Saurav - for trial basis .. 6 months as we have home matches .. Mumbai will be easier to approach

Rahul Dravid - when can we see the arrangements

Rohit - tomorrow we can arrange .. it's 15 mins from this office

Saurav - Great

Virat - I have a condition though

Mahi - what condition

Virat - I want this to be strictly professional deal .. I don't want anything to be otherwise .. as if that happens.. I will not take a sec to pull out of it ..

Rahul Dravid- nothing sort of that will happen .. I will make sure of that

Rohit - So we will take ur leave then

They both went to their office .. while team was still in the team room..

Saurav - As u heard them .. don't invade or try to talk to them .. keep it professional

Mahi - Why are u saying like this .. it's been one year Dada

Saurav - So what .. one year isn't enough for them to forgive u Mahi

Saying this Rahul and Saurav left the meeting room along with the team.

Virat - bhuk lagi hai yaar .. it's almost 6 pm aur kitna kaam bacha hai

Rohit - mai kuch arrange karta hu khane ke liye ..

Virat kept his head on the table and yawned - Mai Ritz n Nushkie ko bhi bol deta hu we are going to be late

Rohit went outside to make some arrangements for the food.

ICT was still in the office completing the documents.

Mahi saw how Virat was sleeping on his desk.

Mahi's thoughts- Kitna Badal Gaya hai Cheeku .. kabhi socha nahi tha ki mai aise dekhunga use .. he has become so professional.. hardly smiles .. no shine in his eyes are it used to be (Ofcourse I am the reason for it)

After one hour Virat woke up. He stretched himself and checked that Rohit was still not in the cabin.

Virat called his phone but it was switched off. Staff had already left .. only ICT was there.

He came outside -

Virat shouted - Aman !!

Aman came running - Yes Sir

Virat - Where is Rohit sir ?

Aman - I don't know Sir .. I was working on the forms

Virat - Go and search where is he .. his phone is switched off

Aman - yes sir

Virat himself checked the whole office running here and there .. went up the terrace but he was not there..

He hesitantly went towards ICT and asked - Have anyone of u seen Rohit ?

Mahi - No .. one hour before when he left ur cabin at that time only

Virat mumbled stressed - Where are u idiot ?

Jassi - He may be here only .. don't worry

Virat just moved to his cabin .. pacing in worry ..

Just then after 5 mins he saw Rohit coming in the office

He ran out of the cabin and yelled at him

Virat - Where the hell were you ?

ICT was shocked to see Virat yelling at Rohit ..

Rohit - Just went for a walk

Virat - Where is ur phone ?

Rohit - it's with me only .. charging khatam ho gayi hai

Virat - unbelievable.. bata ke nahi ja sakta tha

Rohit - chill Vi .. u were sleeping so soundly toh nahi bataya

Virat - don't talk to me

Saying this he went to his cabin

Aman - Rohit sir .. Virat sir bahot pareshaan ho Gaye the .. he searched whole office for u ..

Rohit - I will check on him u don't worry

Rohit went near ICT with Aman - If u are done with all ur paperwork .. u can hand it over to Aman ..

Today is what - Friday .. from Next week u will have to access to the gym

Aman - Sir invites ?

Rohit - oh ha .. And we will be send u the invites .. there is launch event on Sunday for this gym..

Rohit - Any doubts or questions

Jassi - Will u both be coordinating with us on our progress ? (Secretly hoping for it)

Rohit - there are dedicated teams for that .. On Monday the team will get in to u with u call after studying ur forms

Aman tell the team to be here tomorrow.. we will sort it out

Aman - ok sir

Ict got busy in their work but their ears were always at Rohit (how could they miss anything related to them now.. they already lost their one year! Without them)

Rohit- Aman baat suno

Aman - ji sir

Rohit - yeh phone charging pe laga do .. Mujhe jaake tumhare Virat sir ka volcano Shaant karna hai

Aman - Sir aise mat Bolo .. he was really worried

Rohit - Acha ji .. aise toh Awaaz nahi niklati unke samne .. aur Abhi

Aman - u and me both know how he is Rohit sir .. he just uses his anger to hide his other feelings

Rohit - who knows it better than me

Rohit left from there .. took something to eat .. to manofy his idiot best friend

KL - We are done with all the forms Aman

Aman - great !

Mahi - From how much time u are working with them

Aman - 6 months

Jassi - and how are they to work with
