The man who set Virat's photo on fire looked at his partner and said, "This is just the beginning. We have a lot more planned for him once he returns."

His partner nodded in agreement, "Yes, we will make sure he regrets ever stepping back onto the field. He will pay for everything he did."

Meanwhile, back in London, Virat and Anushka were discussing his return to the field. Anushka asked, "Are you sure about this, Virat? You know what you'll be facing when you go back."

Virat took a deep breath and replied, "I have to do this, Nush. I can't let my country and my team down. I'll face whatever comes my way."
Anushka held his hand and said "We'll get through this together."

Arnav was chasing Vamika as they were playing, Vamika came running to Virat and hid behind him. Arnav came and stopped in front of him, while Vami stood giggling knowing how Arnav was always nervous infront of Vi
"Bhai wo- wo I was looking for Vamika sorry-sorry for distributing you" Arnav said nervously
"Arnav when do we have to leave" Virat said ignoring his previous sentence
"Tommorow morning bhaiya" And he rushed out of the room like a rat from tiger's den

Vamika sat on Virat's lap and asked "Dadaa where are you going?"
"Not me, we are going bachaa"
"Whereeee?"
"India"
"To Zi Zi didi and Big mummaa?" Vami added excited and when Virat nodded she jumped with excitement
"I miss them shoo much and Sammy di too, we will meet them na dadaa?" She asked with her shining eyes and Virat nodded

As the news of Virat's return spread, the team in India was divided. Some were happy to have him back, while others were still skeptical. Mahi, who had been struggling with his emotions, was conflicted about Virat's return. Confused with his thoughts, he was not sure, was he happy? Was he sad?
He kept back his helmet and bat, and took a break not being able to handle his emotions
Kabir came and sat beside him keeping a hand on his shoulder
"Don't stress too much Mahi, jo log teri care aur love deserve nhi krte unke liye tu apni tabiyat kyu kharab kar raha" Mahi nodded
"Thank you for being there for me Kabir, tu nhi hota to main aaj yaha hota bhi nhi"
"Bachpan ka dost hu, aise hi thodi na tujhe chod dunga"

Jassi was with Rohit as he needed some help and Rohit was helping him
"Bhai kal Virat bhaiya aarhe hai.. How do you feel about that?" Rohit stopped his work as Jassi asked him that

He took a minute of pause "What feel Jas, he will be back as a teammate.. to what should I feel about that? Mahi bhai ne bola na he's not our friend anymore"
"Bur bhaiya to aapke bestfriend.."
"Jassi bacha, I have to call Sammy now baad mein baat krte hai" Rohit escaped and Jassi came out of the room sighing

"Virat Kohli bolu ya Virat? Tu to mera Cheeku hi rehne wala hai humesha.. The cheeku-rabbit goofy kid, I saw the first day. Main kisi ke saamne express nhi kia but everyone knows, tu mera bhai, more than family hai.. Hai? Hai ya tha?
Main jitna accept karlu I hate you but reality is I CAN NEVER HATE YOU, never Cheeku
Tune kyu kia wo us din Virat? Kyu, no one trusted you but mujhe vishwas tha mera bhai aisa nhi kar sakta. I trusted you and u told me tu sab sach batayega mujhe but tu kabhi aaya hi nhi.. You never returned back Virat, main kaise samjhau khud ko ki you tried to.. You tried too..." Mahi bhai wiped his tears hiding Virat's photo under his pillow as he heard someone calling

"Mahi bhai idhar aao na jaldi" Rohit called and Mahi bhai went to team's room
"Kya hogya Rohit, why are you all so tensed"
"Bhai see this.. BCCI has replaced Kabir with Virat as he is returning back"
"Aise kaise kar sakte hai yeh log, Kabir has been performing consistently.. Virat jo itne din baad aaraha hai, how can they replace Kabir with him, I can't believe they are replacing Kabir who has been performing so well" Rahul added

"Guys.. It's okay, main phirse apne aap ko selectors ke aage prove karke team m wapas aaunga" Kabir explained everyone and somehow everyone agreed
"I am leaving" Mahi hugged his childhood friend and soon everyone met him and he left

London

Virat looked at his side to his 2 lifelines sleeping peacefully, he quietly got up and went to the balcony

"Will bhai trust me? Main kaise samjhaunga unhe why I couldn't meet him that day. Jab no one trusted me, he still believed in me but us din ke baad he hates me too.. This is so complicated, sab pehle jaisa kab hoga.. Bhai I need you, please hide me in your arms like before.. I need your hug" Virat clutched balcony railing tightly to control his sobs

"Virat stop thinking, I am returning back just for my game, my your country.. Main try karunga to get back to normal but I'll not let anything affect my game. I can't let this emotions take over me, I need that today.. I desperately need that" He took out a packet from his drawer

"Cheeku what are you doing?" Mahi bhai threw the ciggerate in Virat's hand
"Bhai I need it whenever I am disturbed.. it somehow calms down my nerves"
" Cheeku you don't need this, if you ever want to share anything or talk about something, Its not good for health and I don't want to see this packet in your hands ever" Mahi bhai said crushing it with his shoes as Virat nodded
"I promise bhai, I won't smoke again"

"Sorry bhai for breaking my promise" Virat said as he took a puff of smoke moving out of the room and it calmed his nerves somehow

India

Mahi was turning and tossing on bed feeling uneasy
"Mujhe itni bechaini kyu ho rhi hai, itna ajeeb sa kyu lag raha hai..."
