Jammy bhai and Sach pa were the first ones to wake up. They saw Mahi and Ro still sleeping. Ro had fully cuddled to Mahi keeping his head on his chest. Mahi was holding him protectively. They smiled at that.

"Mahi... Ro... kiddos wake up... we have so much work..."

Sach pa said caressing their hair softly.. he knew they were so stressed about everything.. but they had to get up..

Mahi woke up to see Sach pa smiling softly at him... it reminded him of he used to wake up his Cheeku.. and he used to whine to him.. he missed him much...he tries to get up but could not.. as Rohit was tightly cuddling him..

Mahi ruffled his hair softly.. "Ro.. get up bacha its morning.."

Rohit cuddled more closer with that and mumbled as per habit...

"Vi please 5 min bas.. promise I will wake up.."

Mahi, Sach pa and Jammy bhai sighed at that... How much Rohit was close to Virat... because it was always since debut of Virat.. he used to wake up Ro..

"Ro... kiddo.. it's me Mahi.. Virat is not here with us. But if u want him to be with us.. then please get up... we have to work a lot.. get up bacha..."

Mahi said softly to which Rohit got up hearing Virat's name... they had their breakfast in silence after getting freshen up...

"Okay.. Mahi tell us everything.. what had Aryan told you to do.. how come you are behaving like this.. with Virat and he is been devastated... what was Aryan's intention.."

Sach pa and Jammy bhai asked getting into the discussion.. Mahi took a deep breath and started narrating..

Conversation:

Just Mahi had hanged up the call of Jammy bhai and Sach pa... he thought Aryan was just threatening with empty proofs.. but it was not the case.. he knew that proofs were fake... because his Cheeku can never do that... he had full faith in him... but for now he didn't had any proofs to prove that the docs were fake.. if this got out then his Cheeku's career will be destroyed.. he is at his peak... he can't have that... already on Twitter everyone was trolling him... for the RCB final loss... after giving so much.. people were trolling him .... Calling him names.. what will happen if this gets out... no no I can't let this happen...

He received Aryan's call... before picking up he saw Rohit had kept Virat busy.. and they were talking casually and he could see Virat smiling through video call... he will do anything to protect this smile....

"See... MS.. I told you I had proofs.. but u didn't believe me.. and didn't listen what I had to say... for now the documents are just sent to Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid... if u still don't believe me... I will send all this to the board... or to whole world... now u know I can do anything... if u want this to stop... if u want to protect Virat... then you have to do what I want... think about it.."

Aryan told him..

"What do u want??"

"You have two choices MS... you have to decide.. that you want to save... Virat's career or your relations with him... first.... I release this proofs.. and destroy Virat's career and he still has you his Mahi bhai in his life along with his so called bestie Ro.. second.. I don't release this proofs but destroy him emotionally..."

"Emotionally meaning ???"

Mahi asked being confused..

"Emotionally meaning... you have to make him hate you.. you have to make him believe that you guys don't want him in your life.. he should not have your support or Rohit's... that's what I want.. you have to destroy him emotionally.. and to that extent.. that he doesn't want you near him... you do this.. and if you don't do this.. with one click I will destroy his career..."

Aryan stated and Mahi was shocked..

"Are you CRAZY??? What the hell are you talking about??"

Mahi yelled harshly...

"Don't shout MS... you heard it right you have to decide what you want... your relations or your career.."

Mahi thought hearing his bitter tone...

"His career.."

Mahi said thinking about for a sec....

"Don't think that it's gonna be easy for you... when u speak to Virat rudely.. or whatever u do... you have to send me the recordings... I have to see you three miserable... because it's not just Virat... it's you three.. who destroyed me.. I know Virat voiced out in the meeting ... but he did that because he had your support... so I want that anyhow.. and I have my eyes everywhere... so u have to be careful... got it !!"

"I will do it.." Mahi said and hanged up the call.

End.

"How dare he say all this to you... and Mahi you could have taken some time.. but u just agreed to him.. just see the outcome... you three are miserable..."

Sach pa scolded him for his abrupt descision..

"I didn't have any other option Sach pa... you saw the docs.. how real it looked.. hum kya karte agar wo docs board ko chale jaate... cheeku's career would be over... he would have been broken more than this... its his father's dream... how can I snatch it if I am having that choice...i had to make that decision ... i did not have the time there"

Mahi said with moist eyes...Sach pa, Jammy bhai looked in concern... Rohit had tears in his eyes..

"And see all our.. my and Ro's efforts are successful.. cheeks i mean Virat.. doesn't want us close tom him.. see I am so great... i pushed him away..."

Mahi chuckled sadly as he remembered yesterday... how Virat told them to go away...

Sach pa hugged him immediately... mahi broke down in his arms...

"I pushed him away forever... he will never talk to me again now..."

Mahi mumbled in the hug...

Rohit just stayed silent on that.... He kept staring the wall...

"U didn't... he just panicked yesterday.."

Sach pa consoled him.

"Virat really believed you from the start.. means when u started behaving like this with him.. he really believed you??"

Jammy bhai asked..

"Bhai.. aapko pata hai na... how much Virat trusts us.. he never believed us.. he thought it was a prank... then me and bhai said some harsh words which he never imagined that we would say... still he didn't give up.. then Mahi bhai gave him punishments.. still he was determined that something was wrong with us.. that we are doing this for some reason... then he called Bunty.. and told him to spy on us... but Bunty was scared to listen Virat's teary voice so he called us first... we told Bunty to tell him that there is nothing wrong..."

"He gave up then ???"

"No he didn't... he is such a stubborn person when it comes to me and Mahi bhai... when Mahi bhai replaced him in the team... he was devastated... but Virat being Virat... chose to ignore that called his childhood friend.. and asked him to find out... thinking that Bunty may have missed something... that much he trusted us... but his friend called Bunty as he knew him... Bunty didn't know what to do... so Bunty himself called Virat and told him how he doesn't trust him to do the work and all that.. because of that ... Virat got more emotional and finally stopped finding out... and gave up..."

Rohit said remembering Virat's teary voice when Bunty was speaking to him like that...

Jammy bhai side hugged Rohit.. who just closes his eyes and let the tears fall freely...

"What proofs you have got from Bunty ??"

Sach pa asked as Mahi had calm down.. and they began discussing what they were gonna do now...

In Virat's room:

Yuvi got up first... to see Virat clutching his arm tightly as if he is gonna vanish... dried tears on his face... he gently caressed his cheeks... he couldn't get up because of Virat's hold..

"Cheeku... uth ja bacha.. breakfast bhi karna hai.. dinner nahi kiya hai thik se... phir we will do gym session together... Aaj competition karenge... get up fast..."

Yuvi said softly caressing his hair.. but Virat instead shifted his head in his lap and hide his face in his stomach hugging him tightly from the waist.. he felt so secured right now after a week.. that his other big brother was with him....

"I don't want to get up Yuvi pa... I don't want to"

Virat mumbled...

"Please uth ja bache... apni halat dekhi hai.. you haven't eaten properly since days... you have to play upcoming matches... aise karega toh kaise chalega Cheeku..."

Yuvi said softly..

"I am not part of the team anymore.."

"That's not true Cheeku... Tere Bina team nahi chal sakti u know that... it was just one time experiment..."

"Par mera man nahi karta ab... to go out.. and see that look on Mahi bhai's face.. if I can call him bhai anymore... and also Ro ke face pe jaise ki they don't know me... wo baat nahi Karte mere sath.... Kuch bhi acha nahi lag raha Yuvi pa... meko nahi jaana... aap meko yaha se le jao.. sab se dur..."

Virat said with moist eyes... Yuvi hugged him tightly as he heard that he wanted to go from here... he will not let his Cheeku give up like that..

"Acha... ek ek step karte hai... first get up and freshen up... pura bandar lag raha hai.. uth ja jaldi.."

Yuvi said making his mood better... Yuvi wiped his tears... Virat got up reluctantly seeing Yuvi requesting so much... he dragged himself to the bathroom...

"Acha hua Mahi called me yesterday... and told me everything.. how alone Cheeku must have felt even though Bhuvi was with him... wo Aryan I will not leave him once we get the proofs... to make my Cheeku, Ro and Mahi cry so much... muh Tod dunga uska... Dekhta hu phir kaise apna muh kholta hai.. will not spare him ..."

Yuvi thought to himself seeing his Cheeku like that..
