Next day the entire team arrived for the ODI series and Jaddu has updated them about the situation. 

"I think we should talk to him," Jinks suggested after hearing everything. 

"No use of all that. He will speak some nonsense and move away." Rohit responded dryly.

"We can try." Bhuvi probed. 

"What you will try? If he can shout and sho away Kuli then he will do that with anyone." Rohit snapped.

"But Virat Bhaiya also said sorry and played Pubg with me," Kuldeep came in Virat's defence as usual only to earn a death glare from Rohit.

"Yaar... Why are you not understanding? Virat brain has been affected by some kind of Virus. He neither whats to listen or understand anything. See...Do whatever you want but I'm done. I'm not gonna try and talk to him now. Even I want to see how many days this goes on." Rohit said angrily and walked out of the room.

"Even I think It better to leave Virat alone for some time. Maybe he gets some time to clear his mind that way. We can talk to him once he clams down." MS suggested as he believed that is no use for talking when Virat is not ready and also feared that Virat would say something that would break the thinks forever. 

"Where is Virat? He didn't even come for practice today?" Rohit asked as he took a tablet for headache.

"He went home directly from the match two days back. He mailed to Ravi Sir it seems." Jinks answered.

"But why? The practice session is important na. If it was any of us then he would have made a rocket out of it." Rohit mumbled disappointedly.

"Jinks, Why do I smell like someone is missing Virat here?" Bhuvi asked failing to control his laugh.

"Because you have some problem with your nose. I'm not missing anyone. Good night." Rohit growled as he got on the bed to sleep.

Nextday afternoon everyone sat in MS room, as usual, trying there best to act as if everything is normal. But Virat's absence was screaming so loud that it can't be ignored. 

"Bhai..." Rohit ran into the room pushing the door ajar with a loud thud.

Rohit ran towards the bed where MS was sitting and open and closed in his mouth several times anxiously before he could voice out anything.

"Woh... Phone kiya....Aur... Woh tho Ghar par nahi hai" Rohit managed to say in proper Mumbaikar tone. All gathered around him by then. Though they didn't understand a word of what Rohit said the panic on Rohit's face was enough to scare them.

"Ro...Clam down... And tell me slowly who called and who is not at home." MS said shaking rohit a little by his shoulders.

"Woh... Bhai... Aunty... Virat ki Mumma... She called. She was crying so much. Vikas  Bhaiya (Virat's brother) bhi bhout gusse mai tha. He was saying something like he may not be rich and famous as virat but he would never depend on virat...." Bhai started ranting anxiously.

"Rohit...I can't understand a bit... Tell me clearly what exactly happened."MS said little sternly.

"Even I can't understand anything Bhai. Aunty called me and she was crying. She was asking me why Virat is behaving like this and also talk to Virat about it. Before I could ask her what exactly happened. Bhaiya took the phone and he was very much angry. He said something like he was done with Virat's attitude and arrogance. He also told me to tell Virat that he has nothing to do with Virat anymore." Rohit explained little composed but still sounding confused.

"Virat had done something stupid at home too? But Why?" Jaddu asked.

"Pur Virat hai kaha? We were thinking that he is at home and they are thinking that he is here. He has to be somewhere na?" MS voiced worried for Virat now.

"Maybe with Anushka?" Bhuvi suggested after 2 minutes of silence. Rohit nodded as he took out his phone to call her.

"Not answering" Rohit signed with the phone still pressed against his ear.

"Try again. She might be in the shooting."Jinks said anxiously. Rohit did that nodding.

"Rohit...If you had called me to advocate Virat's behaviour then..." Came Anuskha's angry voice. Only thing confused Rohit managed to do was put the phone on speaker.

"See...Rohit if he is can be so casual about our relationship and can break up with me overnight then there is nothing for me to hold on. I might be broken but not shattered. I can still gather and heal myself...So never call me to defend his stupid behaviour and arrogant attitude...I'm just done with it now." Anushka said trying her best to hide the pain in the voice when the team heard someone calling her for the shoot.

"I gotta go Rohit. I really wish Virat understands the meaning of love someday." She muttered as she cut the call.

"What the hell is happening," Rohit asked no one in particular.

"When all know how much Virat loves Anushka. Why would he break up with her all of a sudden?" Bhuvi said equally confused.

"He is surely up to something. He is deliberately trying to push away everyone he loves. Aunty, Vikas Bhaiya, Anushka, Us... everyone... Ooo god... Something is terribly wrong... Virat is cooking up something really stupid Bhai... We shouldn't have left him alone...What have I done..." Rohit started his anxious rant. 

"Ro...Ro...Ro... Stop. Stop." Ms said making Rohit shut abruptly. 

"Now its more important to find Virat. Where could he be? Did he even go to Dehli? He is not even answering calls." MS said failing miserably to hide his panic. 

"Maybe AB knows. Faf was complaining that he came from SA for his bday and didn't attend the party yesterday. So maybe he is with Virat Bhaiya."Chahal shouted as soon as it clicked him.

"Call him. Call him fast." Rohit prompted.

"Hello, AB. Do have any idea about where Virat Bhaiya is? Are you with him?"Yuzi asked as AB lift the call.

"Ahh... No, I'm not with Virat now but I met him yesterday in his apartment only. Is everything fine?" AB's worried voice came. 

"Ya...Its just Virat Bhaiya is not answering the call so..." Yuzi trailed off.

"Ooo... Ok...then I gotta go." AB said in a relaxed tone before he cut the call.

"Why do I feel like he knows something more than us?"Rohit muttered suspiciously.

"We will go to Virat's apartment," MS stated ignoring Rohit's comment.

They all were standing in front of Virat's apartment knocking the door but no response.

"Maybe he is not home," Jinks stated disappointed.

"Where else can he be?"MS asked to no one particular. He is feeling uneasy. fear started taking over his composed facade. Now all he wants is to see that Virat is fine.

"Virat...If you are inside. Please give us some sign. We will leave. we won't even disturb you and I promise I will never argue or fight with you. Please, yaar... Just once tell us that you are fine." Rohit pleaded in teary voice standing facing the security camera. 

"Bhai, Watchmen said that Virat hasn't gone out. He is inside." Jaddu said as he just came.

"Wait...I think I have a duplicate key. Virat gave it to me once." Rohit exclaimed remembering suddenly.

"You remember where it is?" Jaddu asked dryly not really believing that they would get the key.

"Yaa...But I don't remember which one of this." Rohit said confused as took out a keychain having a bunch of keys.

Jaddu snatched it and started trying out each one as he was sure that Rohit would never figure out the correct key.

"From where did you get so many keys?" Bhuvi asked confused.

"Mine, Rithika's, farmhouse's, Uncle's and also some of them are of hotel room's which I forgot to return," Rohit explained innocently.

"Not some...Many." MS teased chuckling making everyone laugh and Rohit sulk.

All ran into the apartment as soon as the door opened screaming out Virat's name. But everything fell silent once they entered Virat's room. Room was completely shattered as if a cyclone has hit it. Bedsheet and pillows are on floor a broken jug with water spilt all around. A person laying at corner curled up like a ball with something which looked like a photo frame pressed against his chest.

"Virat/Cheeku" teary whispers came out as Rohit and MS ran towards him followed by the equally shaken team.

Hey...Don't kill me for this Update...But this filler chapter is needed. And I promise I will give another update in less than an hour which I think would clear most of your questions... So until then Bye...
