Chapter 7

                                    

                                          

"From today our new captain is mr. Rohit Sharma."  -- The team management announced being dissatisfied with Virat's performance.
Team members aren't talking with Virat. They believed Rohit. Because all the proofs are going against Virat. Nobody has the specific phone that Virat has, and outsiders were not allowed in the bungalow.
They have next match with SA so they quickly finished their breakfast and went to dressing room. Only Virat couldn't eat properly. Nobody cared for it only Mahi requested him once to eat more.
Virat sat at the rear seat of team's bus, hiding himself from everyone. Ritika called Rohit when they were in bus, maybe she also faced the media. All time the reporters bothering Rohit regarding his love life, and Rohit suspects Virat for this.
Whatever, the match begins.
Virat was in bench as the management prevented him from playing. He was sitting aside silent and down headed.

Rohit's POV 
Me and Rahul made half centuries and finally we won the match against SA. But the shit media continuously bothering me, Ritika is also irritated. Whenever they disturbing us I'm being angry with Virat. But the poor boy might not thought about the consequences. Management did wrong throwing him away from playing eleven. Virat silently sitting at corner. Neither someone talking with him nor he. I should not provoke team members against him.
Returning at dressing room I'll approach everyone to talk with him normally and me too will apologize for my rude words..... I can't tolerate his silence. He's suitable only in his spontaneous, crazy self.
When I entered dressing room he was scrolling his phone standing at corner. Others were busy with their works, suddenly somebody rushed in our dressing room almost pushing me as I was standing at the door.
"Hey Virat!"
"AB ?"
"Why you didn't come to meet me ? I was waiting to see you for long time. You never did that before, are you angry dear ? Had I done something wrong ?"
Virat looked at him for few seconds then almost ran to him and hugged tightly.  De Villiers hugged him back and he started sobbing.
"AB...... the...they all mi.. misunderstanding mmm me... I di... did nothing... they ne...never cared me... only yo...you love me... ple... please don't disbelieve mm me like them... AB... I did nothing mmm......"
I can't control my anger. First he did wrong, ok I was ready to apologise for my reaction. But this! He's playing victim card and creating a scene in front of a foreigner player! Is he a little baby that crying like hell ? How dramatic he is!!
Mahi bhai said -- "Don't say anything, they're bestfriends" understanding that I'm gonna react.
[End of Rohit's POV]
________
At the bungalow
All are present in the living room.
"I want to change my room" Rohit said.
Bhajji : "But there isn't any blank room Rohit"
Rohit : "So isn't anyone such kind to share or exchange with me ? Or all of you are couples here ?"
Mahi : "Wait wait, first say why you wanna change ?"
Rohit : "Sorry to say but I can't stay with any drama king!"
Mahi : "Drama king ?"
Rohit : "Yeah, the king of cricket also a drama king... you all saw at dressing room, how he created a scene with that SA player!"
Mahi : "So ? They're bestfriends, they obviously can share emotions"
Rohit : "You can't see your dear brother's drama but I wanna maintain distance from this kinda dramatic person"
Mahi : "Don't be silly Rohit"
Rohit : "Why are you finding it silly Mahendra Singh Dhoni ? I'm really not liking his habit. Not only De Villiers, he clinges with many of you. I'm straight and gentle, can't stay with such coquettish person!"
Mahi : (angrily) "You have no right to speak on anybody's sexuality. Anyway, we can't provide you blank room here, talk with your mates if they can share you"
Rohit fell in trouble. Nobody will be agree to share room as most of them are committed. Virat himself solved it.
Virat : "Rahuliya..."
Hardik : "Hey no no please...ask someone else"
Rahul : "Chup kar! Mahi bhai, I don't mind to share with Virat" (smirked)
Hardik : "Ye tu kya bol raha hai ?"
Mahi : "Ok then... exchange however you want"
Virat instantly left the living room. Rahul followed him leaving the nagging Hardik behind. Then all left the room one by one except Rohit and Hardik.
"Rohit bhai..."
Hardik called him making puppy eyes.
"Sorry Hardik I can't help"
"No actually I want to say something else" Hardik made offender's face.
"Say"
"Please don't scold me or tell anyone else"
"Kya kiya badhmash ?"
Suddenly Hardik hugged Rohit's leg sitting on floor. Rohit too sat on floor to soothe him.
"Maaf kar do bhai please..."
"Are hua kya hai ? Ok I won't scold you, calm calm. Bol kya hua..."
"Vo actually, recently I bought the same phone which Virat has. That night I clicked your and Ritika di's photos. Never acknowledged that before I was afraid seeing your reaction to Virat. Maaf kar do please... aur mujhe aur Rahul ko alag mat karo... I can't live without him bhaiya please..."
