Third person POV:
Sakshi Dhoni wife of famous Mahendra Singh Dhoni was sitting in her room fiddling her phone , deciding moreover fighting her urge to call her favorite brother in law or you can say considered brother-- skipper of Indian Cricket Team Virat Kohli. That day was nightmare, not only for those 11 in team but for whole nation.
10th July 2019 , World Cup Semifinals in England . India lost match well the match that was in their hands till 9th July but destiny and rain had other plans. Everyone in team were devastated, so were their families.
In that moment Sakshi had no idea where her Husband was, but she was damn sure that he was somewhere consoling his teammates moreover either Rohit or Virat. She was more confident that he was with Rohit yet she didn't dare to call and ask him. She didn't dare to watch Rohit cry.
She wanted to call Virat . Ask him if he was okay-- which she knew he wasn't. She wanted to help him, to console him, to be his shoulder to cry on--- to be the sister he Considered her ,but she didn't --- she just couldn't get herself to do so.
Sakshi was busy in her thoughts when her phone started ringing . She jumped for a moment due to sudden interruption in her thoughts. She sighed and looked at her phone---
Anu ❤💫
Anu-- Anushka Sharma , wife of skipper , his love , his life , his everything . Now she was calling Sakshi due to which her heart already skipped a beat. She answered the call with shaking hands.
( Bold and italics is Anushka and just italics is Sakshi )
He-hello?
Sakshi shuttered.
Bh- Bhabhi..
Anushka swallowed lump in her throat.
She was an actress . You'll think that it must be really very easy for Anushka to mask her feelings on call or even in front of anyone. Yes it was easy for her but just in front of cameras. Off camera she couldn't act that well. Especially in situations like this and in front of people whom she considered as her family.
Yes... Anu....?
Bhabhi. Um Ma--Mahi Bhai--bhaiya , where is he?
Anushka was trying hard to control her tears and her voice from breaking.
Sakshi sighed
Truly speaking? Even I don't know.
Oh
Anu --- Chee--Cheeku how's he?
Anushka finally bursted into tears
Bhabhi--- his- he ain't fine at all. He -- he is taking-- all -- all blame on hi-himself. I--- I have seen him like this last whe---when in 2015 we--- and people---.
Sakshi's heart broke into thousand pieces . She knew how difficult that time was for both of them and if Virat seemed to be that broken it was surely worst breakdown.
Anu-- Anu please don't cry please. You -- you have to be strong if not for yourself than for Virat he--he needs you Today.
Sakshi tried to console Any with her own voice breaking at thought of virat's condition.
I know bhabhi--- I know bu--but I am not getting--anythinh . I -- I didn't come there fo--foe Virat I didn't want any--anyone to say again that he-- we lost because of me . He ---he just breaks--- and today watc--watching Rohit cry --- it broke him to more.... Bhabhi please please ask Bhaiya -- to-- to make him under--understand I --- I don't know--- i---
Anushka started sobbing over the call .
Every sob was breaking Sakshi's heart.
Anu really I --
ANU? ANU CHACHIII !!!!!
They heard someone squealing.
ANU CHACHI ! CHACHI ! Mumma even I want to talk with her!!!!!!
It was Ziva. Bundle of joy , happiness and sunshine in lives of all around her.
Her chirpy voice made Sakshi forget her worries for a moment and then she heard chuckle from other end it was Anushka she was smiling through her tears. Yes that was power of Ziva Singh Dhoni.
Sakshi tried to make Ziva understand but she was adamant on talking with her Anu Chachi and asking her to meet soon. Anushka smiled at her excitement and asked Sakshi to keep phone on speaker so that two can talk .
After few minutes of Ziva, Sakshi and Anushka talking and sharing things totally forgetting about pain in their hearts for those moments , Sakshi heard door of her room opening . She looked up to see Mahi tired yet smiling softly at Ziva and her. She smiled back sympathetically . She knew her husband, he won't show even bit of tiredness in front of their daughter. Moreover again all his pain, tiredness , sadness , everything would get washed away just by looking at Ziva.
He sat besides Sakshi , ruffled Ziva's hair and asked her who she was talking to . Ziva happily replied " Anu Chachi" . He stiffened at that. He looked at Sakshi asking her if what he was thinking was true. Sakshi sadly nodded her head in yes . Mahi swallowed lump which already started forming in his throat and rubbed his hands on his face. He took phone from Sakshi turned it back to earpiece mode and spoke --
" Cheeku-- where is he? In his room or--?"
Anushka sighed and replied " Second Option"
Mahi muttered, " Shit" . He Gave Sakshi her phone back hugged her and Ziva tight and moved out after kissing both of their foreheads .
Mahi's POV :
I knew it. I should have understood he was not taking this defeat lightly . I was busy with Rohit and others but I forgot about my Cheeku . Shit ! And now Anu called Sakshi means she must have tried me too , means Cheeku-- no -- oh God !
I hurriedly pressed lift button . Lucky lift came within next few seconds or else I would have been forced to take stairs. I pressed floor no. 24 . Which was last floor for this hotel. You must be wondering where really is cheeku right now , right? Well he must be on terrace .
Yes in this climate . He doesn't care about climate or health or anything else when he is sad, broken or just done with something. Actually no one in our team cares about it. Even now when I was with others they all were broken . Rohit and Shikhar were worse than them and I bet so is Virat. It's just Roo and Shikhs talked with us . Roo stayed back in his room and Shiks called us. Me , Jaddu , Yuzi , Hardik , Rishabh , Rahul, Kul , Bhuvi we all tried to make their and our pain less by consoling each other. Everyone cried. We all were broken . We all missed Virat but we knew he needed time . But if Anu had called Sakshi he definitely needed someone . I messaged Rohit to come on terrace after few minutes as I reached on the floor.
I entered the terrace area and looked around to find cheeku. The sight I got-- it stabbed me in my heart.
Cheeku was sitting hugging his knees to his chest looking to his right . His phone was lying on left side which I guess was there since Anu called him and one small card on other. His fingers were holding on to some glitter pen . It was like he was hesitating to write something. I took some steps ahead an I saw the card clearly. I cupped my mouth with one hand and other hand formed tight fist on its own.
The card was small gift from Ziva and Zoraver to Cheeku on his birthday last year.
It had-- "WORLD'S BEST CHACHU AND BEST CRICKETER IN THE WORLD" , words written on it. I clearly remember how he cried hugging both children and promised them to keep that card in his wallet for ever.
I sat besides him and said,
"जब तक सूरज चांद रहेगा, Cheeku Mahi के साथ रहेगा ।(As long as sun and moon are there , Cheeku will stay with Mahi)
और जब जब तूफ़ान आएगा Captain Team के सामने खड़ा रहेगा । (And whenever Strom comes , captain will stand before the team)
You took these words too seriously re Cheeku "
He chuckled humorlessly and said , " And what if actual root of the the problem is me -- Virat Kohli , Captain of team india? Then what Mahi Bhai".
" Cheeku? What are you even talking about? What root which problem?" I asked him concerned about things going on in his mind.
He sighed heavily and spoke , "Bhai even you know whatever happened today--"
" We all fell short somewhere in it. You are not at fault alone " I said talking his hands in mine and softly removing the pen in his hands . I silently pleaded him to at least look towards me.
It's just like secret connection between us that the moment I asked him to look at me in my heart he looked up at me taking his eyes away from the card. His eyes were red. He didn't cry . He controlled it. I hate this about him. He always masks his emotions. He always tries to hide his tears.
He sighed again , gulped and spoke closing his eyes , "Bhai you said I'll be better captain than you--You always tell me 'Cheeku you WILL play best'. You show Soo much trust on me , still---- still whenever time comes for me-- to prove my worth -- to prove myself my game -- I disappoint you -- I disappoint our team." I was going to speak when his hold on my hand increased signalling me to let him speak . I blinked my eyes to stop my tears .
" Bhai they call me number 1 batsman in the World. I'm compared to my, each of ours idol Sachin Tendulkar sir. But whenever I have chance to prove myself--- I -- o get out! Why mahi Bhai? Champions Trophy final , 2015 ke semifinals, Today's match Everytime everytime I could have changed the game -- could've brought in our favour but no. My worse luck i--- got out . Today again--- again whole team got pressurised when i got out. Our Yuzi, that poor child wouldn't have imagined even in his wildest dreams that he would be forced to bat in such a crucial match , still that baller was handed with bat just because I got out. I'm team's Captain mahi Bhai I should increase their confidence by my performance but today my performance increased pressure on them . Despite of being Senior o let my juniors handle the pressure . I----"
He exclaimed frustrated.
" So this way ain't I culprit too, Cheeku?" I asked him. He looked at me confused for a moment but when understanding real meaning he sighed and disagreed with my statement-- " No Bhai . It was not your mistake. Only if I didn't get out you wouldn't have been forced to play I'm that pres--pressure . Also , you-- you tried your level best. Only I was was wrong . Everything was my fault--- it'll always be my fault--" He was clearly tired of his thoughts. I hugged him tight.
" Don't Cheeku don't please--- yes we did fall short at some places yes we did some mistakes but We are humans Cheeku. We can't do everything right."
" But--- but Bhai this can -- this can even cost you--- you an be forced to pay for this . Now-- now people will point fin-- fingers at you . You--- you know her well how-- how helpless I feel if-- if someone blame you -- point fingers at you or Anu-- or Roo or team -- I -- t was my mistake --bhai -- I'm sorry-- i--" and he burst into tears hugging me tighter. I bit lip trying myself to stop crying. But I couldn't , tears started flowing from my eyes . This boy is same one whom I saw 4 years back when the girl he loved was blamed because he got out. I cried that day knowing what my team and cheeku was going to face ahead.
Here are we now. After 4 years same situation again we both are crying in each other's arms. Just how we did in past . Back then I was feeling worse as I couldn't save him from hate he was receiving and now he crying for same.
I stroked his hairs slowly with one hand and patted his back with another. I wiped my tears with the hand which was stroking his hairs and spoke , "Cheeku YOU-- you are my, Anu's, Ziva & Zoraver's , team's pride-- pride . I believe in you more than I believe in myself. What you are capable of doing and what not, how many matches you can win or not I know very well. This is why I passed YOU the captaincy. Maybe today as a captain and batsman you are just remembering all your failures but how can you forget how many matches we won under YOUR captaincy? Even today we have record of winning more test matches in your captaincy than what we did in mine . And at the end of the day this is game Cheeku , win-loss , century- out, these all things will keep happening . Even you know that."
He listened to my words silently sniffling on between, once I stopped talking he softly said, "But--- but Bhai wh--why can't i--- captain like you and r-roo? You--- you both have wo--won Soo -- many matches--- and more-- moreover everyone says tha--that I'm failure as a captain."
I broke the hug and looked at him surprised at what he was actually saying.
Virat's POV
Bhai looked so surprised at my words. I looked down at my hands . I just couldn't look at his eyes which where searching for something....
"Who are you?" He asked , I immediately looked at him confused at what he was saying and muttered small Kya.... He continued, " You can't be My cheeku . You are that Virat whom I asked you to throw out of your mind back in 2015. Cheeku , 'कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगोंका काम है केहना ।' ('People Will say some or other thing , it's their job to do so.' ) How did you forget , you live in that country wherein if you bring people moon they'll ask why didn't you bring stars with it! I don't take their words toy heart then why are you taking it? And Cheeku these are same people who don't even know that in 2008, team India won second U19 World Cup after 7 years in your captaincy. You were the Captain cheeku You."
I understand what Bhai was trying to say . I clearly understand his message behind it . But I just couldn't get myself to get rid off those negative comments. " No Bhai but I seriously feel I sho--
Should ha--handover my cap--captaincy to Roo--"
" And I seriously feel that we should give you some 2-4 slaps." Someone interrupted my sentence .
We didn't need to see who was the one saying that we both already know it was none other than the great Rohit Sharma . Bhai smiled at his sentence and said , "Seriously even i feel so. "
He came towards us , sat besides Mahi Bhai in front of me and said, " What ? What the heck are you even talking? Have you gone mad ? You are not giving your captaincy to anyone! Got afraid just by single World Cup semi-finals defeat? "
I looked at him challenging , " Afraid? No not at al Roo. I'm understanding every--every freaking thing, but but I'm not able to implement them . I don't understand how to accept this defeat . Whole mind is just blaming me, my shitty batting and my worthless and meaningless captainship--- I don't know what to do and what not--."
{A/N :I hate writing those words 😔 . Vee you are best .}
Mahi Bhai sighed and said , " Look Cheeku you are most important to me--- so are you Roo . What you two think about me , our team my performance that matters. Not what outsiders think definitely not. Do you think it was my fault today?"
I nodded in No within second so did Roo.
Bhai smiled and asked me, "Do you think Roo was wrong today? Or it was his fault--" I immediately said " No. Not at all " He smiled "Neither do I think so. " Roo sighed in relief and smiled . This smile was what I needed . One which Roo and Mahi Bhai are having on their faces right now. It could have been better if I--- "Roo do you think it's Cheeku's fault by any chancpe" Mahi Bhai asked stopping my train of thoughts.
" No , nope " he again replied immediately . " Even I don't think it was your fault Cheeku. " I smiled . Tears started forming in eyes again. These tears were tears of joy. Joy of having these both by my side, tears of satisfaction of having someone to replace my fears and misery with confidence and happiness. Tears for having someone to tell me I did my best when whole world told me otherwise. I'm really lucky to have Bhai and Roo. Bhai never never left me alone when these things happened . He always have stood by my side , when everyone was busy pointing fingers on me , throwing harsh words towards me he stood like my shield . My human shield . Roo has always been my personal counselor . No matter what he helped me through my emotions.
I don't deser--- someone hugged me again . It was of course Mahi Bhai. I controlled my sobs , trying my best to be subtle . Mahi Bhai patted my back slowly and said, "Look cheeku what all happened today we can't change it by any means. But do you know today our entire team strived for the game-- everyone gave their level best today. Now tell me if we would've won this match and you would've scored century what would have been your reaction, would you say we won only because of YOU?" I muttered small no. Of course not if we would have won the match today I would have proudly said that "My team won this match . " Century would have been just numbers for me no doubt in that .
I could feel Mahi Bhai smiling, even though my face was buried in his chest ; as small smile crept on my face . He continued, "No right? Similarly cheeku we didn't lose just because of you. We all got out so is it everyone's fault? Should we all sit blaming ourselves? No . Forgetting that we all lost, wherever we fell short today-- that field --- that scope-- that hole is what we have to fill now. We will have to improve us more now ." I nodded understanding. My tears stopped long back. I was motivating myself with Bhai's words .
" Cheeku you are my chosen captain. You have done awesome captainship till now--- I have full confidence that you'll do good ahead too. Just don't give up do easily. Please" I sniffled and nodded in agreement.
" Good boy. Now tell me who'll be captain for West Indies tour?" Rohit asked playfully.
I decided to play along I looked at him still hugging bhai and said , " You" pouting slightly. He hit my head causing it to bump more into Bhai's chest and asked again ,"What? Who?". He tried to pull me out of hug when I rolled my eyes at him I whined at his actions, snuggling deeper into Bhai's hug. Bhai laughed at our bickering and soon was joined by both of us.
I smiled at the sound of both of them smiling. I (unwillingly) broke the hug and said, "I'll be the captain. I---Virat Kohli, will be the captain of Indian Cricket Team for upcoming tour and as long as I am handle . I promise you" I said looking at them . Both of them smiled at me .
I hugged Rohit too and we got up. I took my phone and carefully placed my Precious card back in my wallet. Roo and Bhai both were walking in front of me .
Seriously after coming back from stadium all I did was to take small shower again and come on terrace. When Anu called me I told her almost---almost everything I had in my mind. My poor baby was surely regretting her desicion of not coming here.
It's funny we all have our fears. We all blame ourselves when something bad happens in front of us or with is or with our loved ones. Few keep it in their minds , few try to keep it to themselves but because they have beautiful and amazing people around them they overcome those thoughts (just like me) and very few succeed in hiding it . { A/N : Me lmao} . Still----still whenever we see our loved ones blaming themselves for anything it may or may not be their mistake we just fight to make them think and realise otherwise.
I don't know what I would have done if Mahi Bhai didn't find me or moreover if Anu didn't call Mahi Bhai. What? She's my wife ik her. I do know that Mahi Bhai must have literally ran the second he got my location. He gave me my space but the moment he must have got I'm here he must have ran to find me . To Help me. To pick me up after breakdown.
He never judged me , never blamed me not when he was captain and no even when he wasn't.
He never judged my tears. He never necessarily asked me reasons for them . He just looks at me once and understands me . When he gets that i need someone he's always there to hug me , sooth me , wipe my tears, cuddle me.
He truly is my Biggest Support System.
Without which this system of Virat Kohli would've stopped working wayy back !
Mahi's POV:
Many people don't understand my connection with Virat--- My Cheeku. Truly speaking since day one this boy had intrigued me.
I am elder than him but he had helped me in so many ways. There were times when I felt i couldn't share anything with anyone or moreover I shouldn't. That was the time he came.
I have always tried my level best to shield him , to be by his side , to protect him . Because ik behind that chirpy , happy , energetic , just mesmerizing personality hides that 18 year old who lost his source of strength--- his father.
Today whenever he hears anything bad about anyone of us be it me , Roo , Anu or team he hurts out . Not cause he is arrogant but cause we are his everything.
I'm proud of being able to help him.
The number of times he has backed me, helped me , stood by my side for me is just---- just overwhelming.
Usually new captains Don't like previous captains interfering but my cheeku always tries to take desicion considering mine.Whenever he backs other players desicion and not mine even though if he is not confirm but the player is young I feel immense pride growing in my chest. He has grown up Soo much , Soo better that his change is mesmerizing for me.
I don't usually say this but yes ---
He surely is my best Support System.
I know I'm his support too amd I'll try my level best to stay one and help and protect him till my last breath.
✨✨✨✨
Again sorry for bad English---
Bye💜
