Jaddu's patience ran out as soon as the flight landed. He went to Kul's seat and shook him by the arm to wake him up. Kul and Advik both woke up by the sudden intrusion.
"Come on, kuliya. We are getting late." Jaddu said him pulling Kul up.
"What's the hurry?" Advik intervened
"We are a World Cup winning team. We need to go back to team." Jaddu replied rather rudely

Confused at the behaviour of his senior, Kul decided to interrupt their chat.
"Jaddu bhai is right jaaneman. I need to go." Kul said
"Oh. Okay then" Advik said dejectedly to which jaddu rolled his eyes
"I will keep in touch jaaneman. I will come to visit you soon." Kul added
'Visit? Oh hell no. Kul will never go to this shady person's house.' Jadeja made up his mind.
"Bye Guddu." Advik hugged Kul who returned it with affection.
Jadeja cleared his throat to gain their attention. He held Kul's hand and walked towards the team.

On the other hand, Harry dragged Virat and Rohit to the last seat of the bus as soon as as they boarded. He told them about everything starting from the jealousy is Jaddu's eyes to how he almost glared holes in Advik. He told them how protective he was of their junior. Ro and Ko were a little surprised in the beginning but refused to believe Harry. They thought it was one of his stories until he pointed to the scene happening on the front seat of the bus.

Jaddu was changing the direction of the ac vent so the air doesn't land directly on Kul. He gave him his jacket to wear. He even tried checking his temperature with his hand on Kul's forehead. God forbid his roommate actually caught the flu from his nasty friend's negligence.
To say Rohit and Virat were shocked to see this form of Jadeja would be an understatement. Their eyes popped out of their sockets while they tried to gasp for air. They couldn't believe that Jaddu the one who claimed to be a Rajput warrior was turning into a softie for Kuldeep.

They had to hold a meeting and that too immediately. As soon as they reached the hotel, Hardik called Rahul and told him to meet them at Rohit and Virat's room. As Harry explained the situation to his boyfriend, Virat called jaddu in his room. They couldn't just watch their friend stay in denial of his feelings. He had to accept them, then only he would have a chance at a happy ending.

Jaddu sat anxiously while looking at his four friends who sat around him in a circle. They were staring at him like hawks. Rahul who just heard the news was still trying to digest it. The door was locked and chained, there was no path of escape. One look at the mischievous glint in Harry's eyes and Jaddu understood what the conversation was about.

"If this is about Kul and Advit, I don't wanna talk to you guys." Jaddu said
"It's Advik" corrected Harry
"I don't care" Jaddu replied
"Well, you do." Rahul added
"No, I don't." Jaddu said sternly
"You care about our baby brother, don't you?" Virat spoke
"Yes. I do" Jaddu replied carefully
"Why don't you just accept you like him?" Rohit asked
"Because I don't." Jaddu said high pitched

"Ok Jads, I want you to do something for me. Will you do it?" Virat worded with caution
"If I do, will this conversation end?" Jaddu bargained
"Yes it will. Only if you do it truthfully and without cheating." Virat accepted
"Okay." Jaddu replied

"Close your eyes. Now think that you are playing a very gruelling match. It is a World Cup final. You have to defend 6 runs in the last over." Virat began
"The first ball you bowl gets hit for a four. You have five balls left and only two runs to spare." Rahul continued the story
"You look at a cricketer waving his hands from the boundary. He is someone who instills self confidence in you." Hardik weaved the story further
"The person shouts 'you got this' from the boundary. All your nervousness evaporated into thin air." Rohit added
"The next ball is a dot ball. The next one is a dot ball too. Your confidence builds up. You see the same person cheering from you at the boundary." Rahul added
"The fourth ball goes for a run. You have one run to protect in two balls." Rohit added dramatically.
"All the teammates gather. The teammate from the boundary comes up to you. 'I have full confidence in you' he says." Virat said slowly.
"The fifth ball goes dot. Everyone is holding their breaths. All the fielders come inside the 30 yard circle. It has all come down to this moment. One run and one ball." Harry whispered
"You bowl the last bowl. It is a do or die situation. The ball gets hit, Axar bhai swoops it from the ground and aims at the stumps as the two batters are running." Rohit added while holding his breath.
"He hits the stumps. You feel a hand on your shoulder while waiting for the decision on the screen. The touch relaxes you." Rahul worded
"The decision on the big screen say OUT. You did it, you won the World Cup for India." Harry announced
"You hug that cricketer who instilled confidence in you. You say ' I love you' to him. You cannot wait to spend the rest of your life with this special person" Rohit worded carefully
"Who Is that person Jaddu?" Virat asked as the tension built up
"Kuldeep" whispered Jaddu with his eyes still closed as if he was living in that moment itself.

He opened his eyes to come face to face with the truth. He fell in love with his roommate, teammate, teasing buddy. He wanted Kuldeep to be his Kul only. He wanted Kul to be with him with every breath he took. He looked around the room to see the beaming faces of his four friends.

"Finally, the duffer realized it." Rohit squeaked
"Oh hello. It took you longer than this to realize that you had feelings for me." Virat said while smacking his arm "Don't call my friend a duffer."
"Well he is a duffer Vi bhai. I told him he was getting jealous of Kul's friend." Harry added
"My boyfriend is always right." Rahul gave a kiss to Hardik
"Stop this PDA." Jaddu finally spoke "We have a problem."
