Virat patted his cheeks - "Rah .. get up. Rahuliya!"

Jassi was scared too seeing that.

"Let's take him to hospital. Fever is very high" said Virat to Jassi.

They made him lay down in the car with Jassi at the back. Virat was driving .. he texted Rohit about where he was going.

"KL fainted in lobby, I am taking him to hospital. Come there as soon as u can"

"Rah get up plz, wake up." Said Jassi with moist eyes.

Virat didn't say anything because it was getting too much for him now.

They reached the hospital and doctor took KL inside while Virat and Jassi sat outside.

Virat was just hoping that everything would be fine. He hates hospitals.

Jassi on the other hand was very worried. He knew how much KL was disturbed since they met Rohit and Virat.

From past one year Jassi was by his side .. to be with him. He had seen how much KL had suffered silently.

Virat saw Jassi was looking at the door where they took KL. He was staring it lost in thoughts.

"Don't worry he will be fine" Virat said but Jassi was too lost to hear it.

Virat kept hand on his shoulder to get him out of his thoughts. Jassi looked at him with moist eyes.

"He will be fine" Virat said to which Jassi just nodded.

Doctor came outside - "I have given him a injection fever will get reduced soon. But this constant fevers is concern. Take care of him and make sure he takes complete rest"

Virat nodded and Jassi asked - "Can we see him ?"

"Yes sure" said Doctor and they went inside. Jassi sat beside him and said - "Rah get well soon please"

For Virat it was killing him inside to see Rahul like this. But he didn't know how to react.

"Is this all guilt which is causing Rahul to be this sick" Virat thought.

At the ICT hotel -

Mahi was devastated to hear everything from Virat, his Cheeku. He knew he deserve it.

"Calm down please" said Rohit as he passes him water.

"I lost him. I lost my Cheeku" Mahi said sadly.

"U should not loose hope" Rohit said knowing Virat. He was just really angry and disappointed at everyone.

"Is there hope ?" Mahi asked like a child.

"Yes there is, because u didn't get silent treatment from him. If u would get that then u would know there is no hope" Rohit said to him.

Rohit was gonna say something when He received Virat's message.

"KL fainted, Virat took him to hospital. We have to go there." Rohit informed Mahi.

They both went to the hospital and in the room where he was. They saw Jassi sitting beside KL and Virat talking to the doctor.

Mahi went to Jassi to which Jassi hugged Mahi by his waist and sobbed "Bhai it's been so much time now he is suffering silently. I can't see it anymore"

Rohit and Virat heard that and felt bad.

After sometime Rahul opened his eyes and saw Jassi there. "Jas" he called in a low voice.

"Ha I am here" said Jassi wiping his tears.

"Did Virat and Rohit leave again ?" He asked tiredly.

"No they are here, see." Said Jassi pointing him to look at Virat and Rohit who were standing at side.

"We are here Rah, get some rest" Rohit said softly.

Hearing that Rahul closed his eyes and gone to sleep.

"I need some air" said Virat and left the room.

Virat sat outside in the lawn staring the night sky. He just tried to calm himself.

"Rah is just like you, he used to spend most of his nights like this." Said Jassi sitting beside him.

Virat didn't say anything on that. He just wanted to hear how was Rah all these days. Jassi continued -

"I never knew he is so sensitive. I always thought that he is tough like you. Means my first impression about you was that"

"After you left, he just shut everyone out. It was difficult to get through him. Even Harry could not get him to talk. First two months we just spent our time searching for you. Then we gave up"

"He didn't talk to anyone. And it affected Hardik a lot. Due to which Hardik too changed."

"You loved us so much but in return we didn't give you that. That's why we are paying I guess and we will continue too"

"I am not going to say that u should forgive us because frankly we don't deserve any bit of it"

"You should never forgive us"

"As they say weight of guilt is much heavier then we can imagine. Now we understand that"

"What about you ?" Asked Virat wanting to know how Jassi was.

"Me, I am fine." Jassi said and then continued -

"U and Rohit bhai would always say na - Jassi u are really calm. So I am just being there for Rah I guess"

"One quality among others I got from you, to be strong and be by others to support them and be there."

"So I am just being by Rahul's side and also Harry. Shreyas and Rishabh have each other. And Yuzi and Kul. Senior guys among themselves."

"And Mahi bhai was handling everything on his own. He would confide sometimes in Jaddu bhai or Bhuvi. Even jinks"

"I used to spend most of the time with u and Rohit bhai. So I am just in between I guess like for Rahul and Harry"

"It's really hard to be this strong and not break. But I always wanted to be like you in that situation and see I am successful" he said with so much emotions that it was breaking Virat's heart.

Virat never wanted Jassi to be strong this way like him. He knew the downside of that.

"I just wished that rather than leaving you would confront us and scold us. But I don't know what situation u were in as u had to leave."

"I just hope everything gets fine" he said sighing.

Jassi said at the end. Virat just kept his hand on Jassi's hearing all that. And in return as expected Jassi gave a innocent smile as he would always do.

"Is it paining ?" Jassi asked seeing the hand wounds.

"No it's minor" said Virat.

"I will be inside with Rah, are u coming ? Means If u want to!" Asked Jassi.

"I will come in sometime" said Virat wanting to sink everything in.

Rohit was there and saw Jassi leaving. Rohit sat beside Virat and Virat just kept his head on his shoulder.

"I know It's a lot to take in. Don't stress yourself about it. I am here. We will get through to it together" said Rohit hugging him sideways.

Virat just slides closer to him and nodded at that tiredly.
