Next morning everyone was busy in preparation of the match. The juniors and Mahi were waiting for RohiRat and seniors to arrive for breakfast and practice session ahead of that. They didn't know that they had solved their problems and reconcile.

Harry : "Arey Kaha reh Gaye sab log .. Abhi tak nahi aye .. itni Bhuk lagi hai"

Jassi worriedly : "Vi Bhaiya toh thik hai na .. I think we should go n check once"

Just then they were about to go they arrived. And what they it surprise them and shocked Mahi. Virat was laughing with Jaddu and Shikh while Rohit was sulking. And Bhuvi and Ash were shaking their heads at the banter.

Virat : "Sorry na Ro .. but Jaddu ka idea tha to wake you up by splashing water and he called u panda not me"

Rohit : "You three always do like this gang up against me .. specially u n Jaddu"

Virat held his ears cutely and said sorry to Rohit. Everyone was just smiling at their bond.

Rohit said smiling finally : "Okay chal aise shakal mat bana .. ekdum monkey lag raha hai"

Jaddu said : "Sahi hai tu panda aur wo monkey"

RohiRat said together : "Jaddu shut up"

Bhuvi : "All three of you Shut up for once now and let's move to breakfast. Already we are late"

Ashwin : "Ya right .. from morning the non stop bickering is going on rather getting up on time"

The three of them just obeyed them like students while Bhuvi and Ash just chuckled at their behaviour.

All juniors were very happy as the seniors were together and laughing like old times. They went to them and started eating breakfast with usual ICT madness.

Mahi was watching all this sadly. He was happy that Virat forgave the seniors and he was smiling after so long. "He just did not forgive me. He is ignoring me not even listening to me once. I think I should go from here as they are now happy among themselves. Now my Cheeku and Ro doesn't need me"

He went from the dining room and went to his room. Bhuvi and Ash saw that and followed him. They just excused giving some lame reason to Rohit.

Bhuvi and Ash entered Mahi's room and saw him packing. Ash directly said : "Leaving without trying hard enough to gain his forgiveness and trust again"

Mahi said sadly : "He doesn't need me anymore.. He is happy with you all ... Ro also don't need me"

Bhuvi : "You are wrong bhai .. they both need u .. they are your stubborn kids. And u know how they are when it comes to u .. they love u the most bhai .. so u should know that u not trusting Virat and not listening to Rohit is the last thing they expected.. as they love u so much .. they are that deeply hurt"

Ash : "But bhai u cannot give up .. Virat will not able to forget his pain if u don't try. U know he gets nightmares of u leaving him and he is standing in darkness. Jab tak wo aapko maaf nahi karta he is not gonna heal. He will be suffering internally even if he happy outside .."

Bhuvi : "Think about it bhai" saying this they left the room.

Mahi sat on bed thinking what all they said. They were correct I m not trying hard enough. They are my kids .. I will do anything that requires them to forgive me.

At the evening it was the first T20 of the series .. (imagining this is the 2019 match where it was Virat vs Williams as it is one of my fav knocks of Virat). Virat was very happy as he was gonna step on the ground again free of all accusations. Rohit was standing beside him .. He smiled at him knowing what was going on in his mind.

Virat went for the toss and whole crowd was cheering for him. He felt so warm and satisfied with that. For Virat's luck they had won the toss and elected to field first. Despite of their decent bowling effort WI managed to put up a score of 207.

It was chasing time now. But unfortunately Rohit got out. Virat looked at him having doubts. Rohit said him in the most trusting voice of his : "Its your time.. Go show them who is the chase master". Mahi came there and said : "All the best Cheeku" .. But Virat ignored that and hugged Rohit and went on the ground.

Virat was struggling a bit on his first half of the innings.He was not able to remove from his head that Mahi bhai didn't believe him. WI players noticed that. Virat looked at dugout all his team mates standing there and believing in him. Rohit looked at him and gave him calming smile that he can do it.

And then that was it when Williams crossed him deliberately to trigger him. He was determined to prove everyone who Virat Kohli was. He smashed all the bowlers out of the park and even did the notebook celebration. Indian dugout had a big laugh about it. He showed to the whole world who Virat Kohli is .. the chase master .. the run machine.

India won by 8 balls left. Virat attended the presentation ceremony and then went to the team room. There was cake of "Welcome Back and Congratulations". He pulled Rohit with him and they both cut it. They continued cake smash and after that everyone retired to their rooms.

Rohit : "Vi .. call Ritika and Sammy they were asking for u and Anu too. And do it now because if u delay then Sammy will be cranky whole night"

Virat : "Okay karta hu mai call .."

Rohit : "After call come to the terrace with coffee .. mai abhi ja raha hu"

Virat : "Okay aata hu"
