Dada, Jammy bhai and Sach pa took Rohit's room for the night. Mahi and Rohit stayed with Virat. Mahi and Rohit were light sleeper for the night because Virat woke up twice due to nightmares which included them leaving him. They had a hard time calming him down.

Next morning Dada and Jammy bhai arrived in their room to find Virat sleeping with his head in Mahi's lap and holding Rohit's hand tightly. Dada just clicked their pic as they were looking so cute.

Dada woke them up. Mahi woke up first and due to this movement Rohit also woke up to everyone's surprise. Mahi tried to wake Virat but he just mumbled "Don't leave me Bhai"

Mahi and Rohit just sighed not knowing how to assure Virat. They again tried to wake him this time he got up. Mahi and Dada just lovingly said : "Good Morning Cheeku" .. Virat replied normally : "Good Morning bhai and Dada"

Jammy : Chalo get fresh and we will leave for breakfast

Everyone agreed and gathered after sometime in dining room for the breakfast where already team was having their breakfast. Virat stopped at the entrance seeing the team. Rohit went to him and took him by his shoulders signaled him to come.

Virat just whispered to Rohit : "Ro .. breakfast room mai karte hai na .. yaha sab hai"

Rohit softly said : "Vi don't worry .. Mai hu na tere sath .. sab hai dekh Bhai aur Dada ruke hai humare liye waha" he pointed at them. Mahi gestures them to come.

As Rohit and Virat were passing the table where the juniors were sitting. Someone taunted : "See the traitor of the Indian team" Rohit was about to burst out at them but Virat hold his hand and signaled him no.

They reached to the table where Mahi bhai was waiting for them with Dada, Sach pa and Jammy bhai.

Mahi : Kya kar rahe the tum dono itni der se wait kar rahe hai ..

Rohit was about to tell the table incident but Virat stopped him. Virat just sat beside Mahi bhai and told him that nothing happened and let's have breakfast. Mahi fed him the breakfast. Just as they were having light talks to cheer Virat up Jaddu and Shikhar arrived there. Rohit immediately got up but Dada stopped him from saying anything as that would create a scene there.

Jaddu formally : Dont worry .. we are not here to say anything to him (pointing at Virat).

Virat got a small hope may be they are here to support him after thinking it through the night. He unknowingly gripped Mahi's hand and was looking at them with hope saying something. Mahi understood what he was feeling but he knew by Jaddu's tone and look that they still didnt believe him.

Jaddu : As we dont find him worthy of our time anymore. (That line just crushed Virat's hope but he didn't show in his face because he didnt want Mahi bhai to feel guilty anymore .. He just looked down and ate his breakfast silently)

Mahi asked not raising his voice : Then why are u here ?

Shikhar : We came here to ask about the practice sessions and match preparations. We have the second match in the evening.

Mahi : Okay .. After breakfast we will have a practice session. You can inform the team.

Listening to that Shikhar and Jaddu went away. Mahi and Dada received the message from the board. Mahi just muttered angrily : "How could they do this?"

Rohit asked curiously : What happened bhai ?

Dada sighed worriedly and told : "They have made cheeku the 13th man for the drinks. But they will not allow him to play till the mess gets sort out"

Mahi got up and said : "I will talk to them now" as he was leaving Virat held his hand and said : "Bhai don't do that .. I have no problem in carrying drinks for the team and besides rather than talking about it you and Ro should practice for the evening match. It is very important to win this as it would mean we won the series .." As Mahi was going to object it Virat added .. "Please bhai for me" .. then Mahi agreed into his request.

Mahi and Rohit went for practice. Dada,Jammy bhai ans Sach pa went to work on proving Virat's innocence. Mahi and Rohit insisted Virat to come along but he didn't because it was too difficult to face the team after listening to Jaddu. As the team someone would always taunt in one way or another and give him accusing looks.

---------------------------

During the match there was a total different atmosphere on the ground. Whenever any bowler like Jaddu would take wicket Mahi and Rohit were least interested in celebrating it grandly. They would just acknowledge it and move to their places. Team was not feeling motivated as usual because of their behaviour hence they had a big target to chase down now.

The batting had started to collapse but Rohit and Mahi bhai were determined on the crease now. As they had to win this for their Cheeku/Vi. Mahi didn't want the sacrifice he had made to go in vain.

During the drinks break .. Virat came with drinks on the ground. The crowd immediately started booing him. He went near Mahi bhai and Rohit.

Mahi : "Don't worry Cheeku .. we are going to win this."

Virat : "I know bhai .. u and Ro can do it"

As he was going back at the dugout the australian players started sledging and taunted. Whenever in between he came to give the required material or drinks they were doing that and Virat could not back answer it.

Mostly they were like : "See the best batsman fixing matches for money now serving drinks .." , "He should be banned" , "He is shame to the country" , "He doesn't deserve to be here".

Virat was just wishing the match to over. He just could not hear it anymore. He just wanted to hide from all this. He was expecting this kind of hate but not at this extent. It was getting difficult for him now.

Mahi and Rohit played with their full potential and won it for India. As soon as the match got over Virat went to terrace as he could not sit in the room because it was suffocating him. He just sat there with his head buried in his knees. That's how Rohit found him.

Mahi was busy in all the other formalities and processes. So Rohit was searching for Vi. And as expected he found him on terrace. Rohit went near him and sat beside him.

Rohit worriedly asked him : "Tu thik toh hai Vi?"

Virat just hugged him tightly. He just could not hold it longer and said : "Ro its getting too difficult to handle all this .. subhe jaddu ne jo bola and now Australian players jo field pe bol rahe the .. it is very difficult to hear that... i knew yeh sab hone wala hai but ab jab ho raha hai toh its affecting me too much .. Mai bhai ke sath yeh share nahi kar sakta because he already feels guilty of whatever happened .. so I dont want him to feel more guilt."

Rohit just listened to him pouring out his emotions. He said softly :"I know Vi bahot difficult hai yeh sab .. but dont worry jaldi sab kuch thik ho jayega .. And if tu bhai se share nahi kar sakta toh koi baat nhi but I am here whenever u want to share anything .. but ek baat hai bhai ko eventually sab pata lag hi jayega"

Virat just nodded and kept his head on Rohit's shoulder. Rohit exclaimed then : "Vi we won .. We won the series and we won it for you Vi" .. Virat replied emotionally : "Thanks and Congrats Ro" .. Rohit took him to his room.

Rohit tried to cheer his mood : "Aise nhi .. chal abhi we will have something sweet and a nice dinner and u will have it with me"

"Humare bina celebration karoge tum dono .. not possible at all" .. said Yuvi Pa and Raina entering the room. Virat and Rohit were shocked to see them there. Yuvi Pa went inside and hugged Virat tightly. Raina side hugged Rohit and went to hug Virat when Yuvi left him.

Virat still in shock : "Aap dono yaha"

"Surprise" said Mahi from the door followed by Dada,Sach pa and Jammy bhai.

Yuvi : "Tujhe kya laga tujhe humari jarurat hogi and we will not come here"

Raina : "Cheeku flight got delayed nahi toh we were going to reach in the morning only."

Virat just asked in daze still not believing them : "You believe me?"

Raina : Ofcourse we believe you Cheeku .. We know u cannot do anything like this ..

Yuvi : Aur kya .. tu kisi ke baaton par dhyaan mat de .. we know that our Cheeku cannot do anything like this.

Virat just hugged Yuvi tightly. Mahi said : "Yuvi , Sonu u both have no idea what he has done to get into this mess" .. Listening to this Virat just went to Dada and hid himself in Dada's hug. Yuvi and Sonu got confused by Virat's behaviour.

Mahi and Rohit narrated what all Virat did and how Dada helped him in that. Virat just looked down for another lecture of scoldings. Yuvi just went and smacked the back of his head. Raina did the same. But then they hugged him tightly.

Virat asked slowly : "You both are upset with me ?"

Raina : No cheeku .. we know how much you and Ro love Mahi to do something like this.

Yuvi : Yes cheeku .. we are not upset .. just kuch aur solution nikal sakte the but its okay ..

Virat hugged both of them. Everyone enjoyed dinner and sweets in Virat's room. Virat's mood got a bit better but he still could not forget whatever happened at the ground. Everyone later retired for the day and went to respective rooms. Mahi and Rohit stayed with Virat while Raina and Yuvi made their arrangement in Mahi's room. Dada, Sach pa and Jammy took Rohit's room as previous night.
