Virat and Rohit were sitting with Mahi and the juniors in the living room. Virat's head was on Mahi's shoulder while Rohit's was in his lap.

Mahi was not liking them so silent but he could not do anything because the situation was really difficult.

Their silence was broken by Aman's scream.

Virat and Rohit rushed to his room hearing that. They saw him curled in a ball.

"Please don't beat me ! Ahhh !! Please leave me !!" Aman was crying and pleading.

Virat rushed to his side and took him in a hug. "Shh ! Aman no one is here .. wake up it's a dream."

Aman woke up hearing the familiar voice. He opened his eyes and saw Virat and Rohit there.

He immediately hugged Virat tightly and cried softly on his shoulder. Virat rubbed his back.. Once he calmed down Virat made him lay on his lap.

"Aman, me and Virat are here okay.. no one will come. Sleep now" said Rohit holding his hand.

Aman slept after that. But Virat and Rohit's blood was boiling seeing his state. This was the first time they saw him weak and scared.

"Bhai can u be with him for half n hour, we will come back" asked Rohit.

"Ya sure" said Mahi.

Virat and Rohit got upto leave when Mahi held Virat's hand.

"Be careful with whatever u both are doing. I don't want a scratch on both of you" said Mahi softly yet sternly.

"Nothing will happen to us" said Virat assuring him.

"We are coming with you" said KL and Hardik together.

All four of them left from there. Jassi and Mahi sat beside Aman. Shreyas, Rishabh, Yuzi and Kuldeep had left to help Anushka and Ritika for setting up Aman's house.

Virat and Rohit with KL and Hardik reached the police station. Rohit talked with the officer and they took them where those two goons were.

Rohit punched one and Virat punched another. They were in no mood to stop. KL and Hardik went towards them and separated them.

"Bas karo bhai, they will die." Said Hardik.

"Ya bhai has karo please .. ummm Aman will need you. U can't do this" said KL.

They stopped and returned back home. Both of them got freshened up and went to Aman's room. He was still sleeping.

Virat and Rohit sat beside him as Mahi and Jassi gave them space. Virat caressed his hair and Aman just leaned closer to him almost that his head was on his lap.

"Aisa pagal hai yeh, bata nahi sakta tha" said Virat to Rohit.

"Abhi he learned from you only, toh kya expect kar sakte hai" said Rohit.

Virat didn't say anything on that statement. Because partly it was true. He saw Jassi how he had become .. exactly like Virat.

Rah could not see or hear more of that. So he left and Hardik followed him. Hardik saw how Rahul was rubbing his face with his hands to calm himself down.

Hardik - "Rah!"

He said and kept his hand on his shoulder.

Rahul just turned and hugged him tightly and cried on his shoulder. Hardik patted his back to calm him down.

"Kya hua" Hardik asked softly.

"Dekh na Harry Virat bhai kaise Aman ko treat kar rahe hai .. pehle mere sath aise behave karte the .. he used to say that I m his first kiddo. Aur Abhi dekh .. I understand ki kya situation hai but I can't see that anymore"

Rahul said whining and complaining cutely.

"Rah don't think that way, we just got them back that too partially"

Hardik said noticing that they were not still completely normal with them.

"I know Harry, but it's too damn hard. Specially to see them caring for someone else like they used to for us" Rahul said resting his head on his shoulder.

"I know I feel the same" said Hardik.

"I am so sorry Harry for all those days and my behaviour" said Rahul in a low voice.

Hardik didn't say anything on that because he was angry on him for doing that. Because he needed Rahul at that time.

"Let's not talk about that" said Hardik.

Mahi and others left for the hotel. While Anushka and Ritika returned after setting up Aman's house. Virat and Rohit told them what had happened and they got worried for Aman.

Aman woke up after sometime. He found Virat and Rohit by his side. Due to his movement Virat and Rohit's trance was broken.

"How are you feeling now Aman?" Asked Rohit.

"Better Rohit sir" he said getting up with help of Virat.

"Virat sir" he called but Virat didn't say anything .. He was just checking his wounds whether they need dressing or not.

"How are you now Aman?" Asked Ritika entering the room with Anushka.

"Better Mam" said Aman.

"Rohit sir" he called but Rohit was checking his sprain bandage.

"Bandages will be changed at night. Till then make him eat something" said Virat to Nush and left the room along with Rohit.

They both went to the terrace and took a deep breathe and sigh after all this.

Mahi and Co. reached the hotel and went to their rooms to rest. After sometime Mahi went to Bhuvi's room to check on him and other seniors.

Mahi entered the room to find it dark and only a side lamp was on. He turned on the lights to see Bhuvi slumped down the bed.

"Bhuvi?" He called softly and kept his hand on his shoulder.

"Yes bhai?" He said when he got aware of his presence.

"Are u okay ? Why are u sitting like this ?" Asked Mahi sitting beside him.

"Nothing bas aise hi" said Bhuvi.

"I know what Virat said it affected u" said Mahi softly.

"Nahi bhai Aisa Kuch bhi nahi hai" said Bhuvi getting lost in thoughts again.

"U can tell me Bhuvi, what's going on in ur mind ?" Asked Mahi again.

"I told u na Bhai, it's nothing. Don't worry" said Bhuvi.

"Bhuvi .." he tried but got cut off by Bhuvi.

"Bhai, I am really tired. I should sleep now" Bhuvi said avoiding the conversation.

Mahi sighed at his behaviour. It was very difficult to get through Bhuvi. He was never able to do that.

Mahi went to Jaddu's room and saw Ash was consoling Jinks who was crying. And Jaddu had held his hand in support.

"Mahi bhai" Jaddu called as he saw him.

"Jinks stop crying" said Mahi sitting beside him.

"Bhai, we will never be able to talk to them again. I swear Bhai I didn't mean to hurt Virat. I just.." Jinks broke down in Mahi's hug.

"I know Jinks, I understand. But we know they are also not wrong." Said Mahi consoling him.

"Bhai, will they ever forgive us?" Asked Jaddu in a low voice.

"I don't know that but u got to try Jad. As the kids did.. don't push them. It will never work .." said Mahi explaining them.

At RohiRat's house -

Virat and Rohit were sitting silently on terrace thinking the whole two days mess that happened.

"How could we miss that ? We got Aman into so much trouble" said Rohit breaking the silence.

"Hmm" said Virat.

"We should have paid more attention" said Rohit feeling bad about it.

"Hmm, we have to be careful" said Virat.

Rohit looks at him and finds him staring the sky. Rohit was gonna ask what is going on in his mind but got interrupted by Sammy's voice.

"Dada, Chachu let's go and have dinner. Aman uncle is not eating without u" said Sammy coming to them.

"Ya let's go my Sammio" said Virat getting up.

"Chachu can I sleep with u today ? U will tell me story !" Asked Sammy as Virat picked her up.

"Ofcourse bacha" said Virat.

Rohit sighed at the interruption. He wanted to talk to Virat about everything that happened. As it takes time now for Virat to open up. He got to do it tomorrow.
