Picking up Broken Pieces ✅

8.

Next day Virat was rested for the match. He had to stay in the hotel room resting which was really irritating him.
And more irritated was about that Rohit didn't come to meet him in the morning.

They had won the toss in this second t20 and chose to bat first. Rohit and Shikhar opened.

Virat was excitedly watching match and Ash joined him as he was not playing.

"Where were u match is about to start !" Said Virat excitedly.

"Nothing I was on a call" said Ash.

Rohit started quickly and now was batting on 24 from 16 balls. Virat was very happy about that. But to his shock Rohit got out the next ball.

"Ohh no !!" Exclaimed Virat.

"He did well though" said Ash looking at Virat's expression.

"Ya make him believe that. He is guilty about his performance." said Virat.

"What do u mean" asked Ash confused.

"Look at his face Ash .. he is totally dejected." said Virat looking at Rohit as camera was focused on him.

"I never understood how u both able to understand each other so well" said Ash amused at his understanding.

They had won the match because of excellent knocks of Hardik and Rishabh along with Shreyas and ofcourse Jassi,jaddu's bowling.

Team came back to the hotel. But to Virat's disappointment Rohit didn't come but he understood that he may b tired.

Here in Rohit's room ..
Jassi and Shreyas were sitting with Rohit who was feeling restless.

"Bhai stop thinking about others and stop reading the stupid articles. You have been doing it through the bus journey." Said Shreyas

"I am trying" said Rohit back gripping Jassi's hand.

Rohit starting sweating more now. He had read all type of trolls till now. How he is not suitable for the Indian Side and how he was not as good as Virat.

"Bhai please calm down" said Shreyas rubbing his hands.

"It's not working Shrey" said Rohit gasping for breath.

"Bhai slow breaths common u can do it" said Jassi this time

"It's not working .. it's not ... Shrey do s..o..m..e..t..h..I..n..g" said Rohit trying to breath.

"Bhai stop panicking" said Shreyas taking him in a hug.
"Bhai please don't think so much .. try to match my breathing. Virat bhai is never gonna leave u bhai ... don't think that ... no one will ever leave u .." said Shreyas calming him down.

Sensing no movement Shreyas broke the hug and saw that Rohit had passed out from exhaustion. But for safe side Jassi called the doctor.

"He passed out due to exhaustion. Less sleep is taking toll on him. And also this was almost close to panic attack .. make sure what ever is causing it u keep it away from him" said the Doctor.

"Do u think we should inform anyone" asked Shreyas

"We have promised him Shrey" said Jassi not wanting to upset Rohit anymore.

"Ya I know" said Shreyas sitting beside Rohit. "It's really hard to see him like this. He and Virat bhai are always the pillars u know" he added

"I understand how u are feeling but we can't break his trust" said Jassi.

Jassi's phone rang and it was Virat. Shreyas told him to pick up and act normal.

"Hi Virat bhai ! How are u ?" Asked Jassi in his calm voice.

"I am okay .. where are u and Ro and even Shrey .. I am bored here" whined Virat.

"Wo bhai Rohit bhaiya is sleeping .. he was feeling tired. Shrey and I are just resting a bit" said Jassi.

"Ohh okay u guys rest then" said Virat

"Okay" said Jassi

"Ummm Jassi is everything okay u sound a bit off" asked Virat.

"I am okay bhai .. it's just the match tiredness" said Jassi.

"Okay then" said Virat and hanged up the call.

"Eventually he will get to know by looking at Rohit bhai's face" said Shreyas.

"I know" said Jassi.

After sometime Rohit woke up to find Shreyas and Jassi by his side.

"U okay bhai?" Asked Shreyas as he woke up.

"Ya Shrey just a bit exhausted" said Rohit taking water from Jassi.

"Bhai doctor has prescribed u sleeping pills in worst case" said Shreyas.

"U guys called doctor .. did someone see u ? Did anybody know ?" Said Rohit getting hyper.

"No one saw us Bhai calm down !" Said Jassi

"Bhai u seriously have to take care of urself" said Shreyas

"Ya I will .. did Virat come?" Asked Rohit

"No he called though asking about u .. we just told that u are sleeping but he is hoping to see u" said Jassi.

"Okay u both rest I will go and meet him" said Rohit getting up but he swayed on his feet. Shreyas was quick enough to reach to him.

"Bhai u okay ?" Asked Jassi

"Ya I just felt light headed" said Rohit

"Bhai u sit here .. we will make some excuse to Virat bhai .. u have something first and rest" said Shreyas.

They ordered some food and made Rohit eat. They gave him half sleeping pill so that he could have a fair amt of sleep at atleast.

"Jassi u sit here .. I will go and meet Virat bhai and make some excuse for Rohit bhai" said Shreyas to which Jassi nodded.

"Hey Shrey finally u here I was so bored .. everyone is resting u know" whined Virat as soon as he saw someone coming to him.

"Hi Virat bhai .. sorry just don't how I dozed off" said Shreyas sitting beside him..

"No worries .. nice performance today" said Virat patting his back.

"Bhai is your back okay" asked Shreyas

"Ya feels better I will be able to play I think next match" said Virat assuring him.

"Waise bhai .. u know what happened today yuzi was imitating ur batting" said Shreyas trying to keep him busy so that he doesn't ask about Rohit

"Ohh really" asked Virat amused

They kept talking and Shreyas was successfully distracted him.
