After sometime Aman and Rohit brought Virat home. He was still in daze and exhausted.

Anushka and Ritika saw them coming.

"What's wrong Ro ? What happened Vi?" Asked Ritika panicked to see her brother like that.

Rohit took Virat to his room and sat beside him caressing his hair.

Aman told Ritika and Anushka everything what happened in the office.

Anushka and Ritika both of them got tears in their eyes listening to the breakdown of Vi.

Aman was going to leave but Rohit told him to stay the night.

After sometime Anushka sat with Virat as he was sleeping. She caressed his hands where there were bandages.

"Bubs .. u are not alone. Please don't blame yourself. We are with you. Please share all ur problems with us" said Anushka caressing his hand.

Rohit made arrangements for Aman and went to his room.

When Rohit entered his room .. he went to Sammy first and kissed her forehead.

He freshened up and went to the balcony where Ritika was sitting. When he went closer he saw that she was crying.

"Ritz kya hua .. why are u crying!" Asked Rohit worriedly.

She immediately hugged him and kept her head on his chest. She just held him tightly and shed her tears freely.

"Finally Vi let his emotions out Ro .. but it's hurting Ro to see him like this" Ritika said between her sobs.

"I know Rits but it was important right" said Rohit caressing her head.

"Ritz .. u can also let it out na. I am here and I will try my best to make everything okay" Rohit said softly.

"U know Ro .. Vi was supporting me so much. When I came to the hospital na the first thing he told me was "Ritz I am sorry I couldn't take care of your Ro" and I couldn't respond to that. I felt so helpless because I wanted to tell him that he was never at fault" said Ritika crying softly.

"Shhh .. Ritz I know how difficult it was for u both. You both have been so strong for me and Nush. Now let us handle you" said Rohit softly.

"I am sorry Ro .. I couldn't comfort Vi much. I tried really hard but I could not because I didn't know how to" said Ritika in his arms.

"Rits please jaan. Don't blame yourself. It's just the situation we have to get through" said Rohit comforting her.

"I will make everything okay" said Rohit softly.

Anushka knocked their door. Rohit opened it and Ritika composed herself.

"What's wrong Nush ?" Asked Rohit.

"He is calling for u in his sleep. I could not wake him up" said Anushka worriedly.

Rohit went and Anushka saw Ritika worried. She knew she was crying. Anushka just went towards her and took her in a hug.

Ritika just melted in that hug and shed some more tears. Anushka just hugged her tightly in response and said - "Everything will be fine Ritz .. we will make everything okay together"

Rohit went towards him and saw him restless. He sat beside him and took his head in his lap.

"Vi I am here." Said Rohit softly.

"Please don't leave me" said Virat.

" I am not .. I am here by your side always" said Rohit caressing his hair trying to get him some calm sleep.

At the ICT hotel -

Mahi reached the hotel and went to check on Rahul first. Bhuvi and Jassi were by his side.

"What's wrong?" Mahi asked seeing them worried.

"Fever has increased and he is mumbling Virat's and Rohit's name in his sleep" Bhuvi said.

Mahi sat beside him - "Rah kiddo"

KL opened his eyes still feeling tired. "Bhai .. Virat bhai and BRo left me .. I called them but they vanished"

"They ... left ... me" said KL closing his eyes again.

"Can we make Rohit bhai or Virat bhai to talk to him atleast" asked Jassi hesitantly.

"Bhai .. this is going on from two weeks since we met them .. we have to do something" said Bhuvi not able to see KL's condition.

"Cheeku we cannot .. he is not okay .. Rohit I can try" said Mahi.

"What happened to Vi ?" Asked Bhuvi listening to that.

"I will tell afterwards.. let me try to Rohit" said Mahi.

Mahi called Rohit hesitantly. Rohit picked it up after ensuring Virat was sleeping.

"Yes ?" Said Rohit.

"How is Cheeku ?" Asked Mahi in concern.

"He is sleeping now" said Rohit.

"Ummm I know this is not a right time but I wanted to ask u something" said Mahi hesitantly.

"Yes tell me" said Rohit.

"Actually Rahul is still having fever and he is very out of it. He is calling u n Cheeku in his sleep. Can u talk to him ? Only if u feel like talking .. means .. he is not registering anything .. so if u could .. totally up to u" said Mahi nervously.

"I will talk to him" said Rohit trying to take steps so that he could everything okay .. slowly but he had to do it.

"Rah kiddo .. see it's ur Ro bhai on call" said Mahi softly.

"No he left me" said KL.

"K .. (he stopped himself to call him KL) Rah .. it's me Rohit." Rohit tried to say softly.

"Really ?" KL asked being unsure yet.

"Yes I am on the call. How are you feeling now kiddo?" Asked Rohit softly.

"Not good .. I am so tired BRo" said KL exhausted.

"Take care of yourself kiddo .. I will come to meet u tomorrow" said Rohit comforting him.

"U *cough* will really *cough* come" said KL tiredly.

"Yes I will now sleep well and take care." said Rohit.

Mahi took the phone and said - "Thank you so much."

"I am trying to take small steps. Please don't break our trust again. We will not able to take it. You have already seen Vi today." Said Rohit emotionally.

"I know .. I promise I will never do that again" said Mahi softly.

"Bye take care of u and Cheeku" said Mahi not getting any response.

"Bye" said Rohit and hanged up the call.

Rohit sighed after talking to KL. He felt a bit upset listening to his tired and sick voice.

But he knew he has to talk to Virat about this. He will not hide it from him.

Tomorrow can be a long day,He thought.
