Rohit has woken up with a jolt feeling something and what he himself didn't know. He came out of the room and went to garden to get some fresh air. He sat on the bench sighing. He burried his face in his hands.

Sammy who has just come from the hospital came there and sat beside him.

Sammy: Missing someone?

Rohit sighed but didn't react. Sammy frowned.

Sammy: Kya baat hai dada?

Rohit: I don't know Baba. Kuchh kuchh ajeeb sa lag raha hai.

Sammy took his hand to check his pulse as the doctor inside her kicked in but Rohit took his hand back.

Rohit: I am fine okay

Sammy: Dada..

Rohit: Samaj nahi aa raha Baba. Lekin kuchh ajeeb sa lag raha. I am missing him every second. Lekin..

Rohit sighed.

Rohit: You know he.. he has once asked me to take care of everyone if he is not around. Aur main.. maine to promise kar diya ki main sab ko sambhal lunga.. lekin look at the situation today.. Jinks is busy in business.. Jaddu ki stories bandh ho gayi.. Rishu ne jokes crack karna chhod diya.. Jassi, Yuzi, Kul sab chup se ho gaye hai.. Shrey is just being here to take care of me mainly.. Mahi Bhai ne khud ko distance kar liya sab se aur Rah..

Sammy: It's okay dada.. aapne to pure efforts Dale the na

Rohit sat while burrying his face in his palms. Sammy gently took his hands back and wiped the moisture of his eyes. She gently took him inside and made him lie down on his bed. She sat beside him and caressed his hair.

Sammy: Sab ka bol diya.. aur aap.. aapka kya? Aap bhi to kitna badal gaye ho.. Sana itni badi ho gayi lekin aaj tak usne apko for that matter aap sab ko pehle ke jaise haste nahi dekha. Usko to aap log seriousness ki dukan hi lagte

Rohit: I wish Vi aur Anu yaha hote. Sab kitna alag hota. Hum sab sath me rehte. Sana bhi sab dekhti aur Sana ko bhi samaj me aata ki pyaar, mohabbat, apnapan, family kya hota.. uss ladki ko bade chhote ka lihaz tak nahi hai

Sammy: Phir se bahes hui na usse?

Rohit looked at other side. Sammy sighed.

Sammy: Aisa nahi hai dada.. She is just like you. Aap zyada socho mat abhi chalo rest karo. Waise bhi apka BP high lag raha mere ko

Saying so she quickly attached BP machine to confirm before Rohit could protest and checked and indeed his BP was higher.

Sammy: Dada.. calm down okay. Kuchh nahi hoga. Sab theek ho jayega. I am positive

Rohit: Tum kuchh dino se kuchh zyada hi positive nahi ho rahi?

Rohit asked with a frown to which Sammy looked here and there. Rohit didn't say anything further. That's how his Sammy has become. She has stopped sharing her things with him. She is still her Dada's girl but the friendship and openness they used to share has vanished somewhere. Rohit sighed.

Rohit: Tum kal Jane wali ho na?

Sammy nodded in yes.

Rohit: Phir sidha wapas yahi aaogi na? Waise bhi ab stadium + academy ban chuka hai

Sammy: Of course dada. Now you rest okay

Rohit: You know Sammy.. it .. it feels like kuchh.. kuchh honewala hai. Achchha bura pata nahi lekin kuchh to hoga..

Sammy: Mera dil kehta hai dada ki iss baar achchha hi hoga

Rohit smiled genuinely.

Rohit: To apne dil ko bolo ki hamesha Aisa hi bole. Pata nahi kaise lekin hamesha sach hi bol deta hai

Sammy: Of course I will do that.

Rohit sighed but closed his eyes feeling tired while Sammy caressed his hair till he fell asleep. Once she was sure that he was sleeping, she went to her room and called Sana but she didn't picked it up. Sammy sighed and took out a family picture of her with her Vi Chachu.. Nush Chi.. Her Vami..

Tears started falling from her eyes.

Sammy caressed the picture.. her gaze fell on Rahul and Athiya.. They have just got married at that time.. Her Rah Cha and Rah Chi..

Sammy chuckled remembering how Vami gave these names to Rahul and Athiya and rest kids picked from that. But now.. all these beautiful memories brought tears in her eyes as she misses them all a lot. Sammy broke into tears crying hard. She fell asleep while crying only.

On the next day, Sammy woke up and got ready and quickly went from there to go towards her destination.. her heart beating too much faster. She was driving without checking the fuel meter and also she hasn't checked her phone. Her car broke after a while. She came out of the car and kicked the tyre. Soon a car came in front of her. A man came out from the car. Sammy was surprised seeing him there.

Sammy: Special Agent Arjun Batra aka AJ.. tum yaha?

Arjun smiled and signed her to sit in his car. Sammy looked at other side. Arjun smiled.

Arjun: Doctor madam aapne kal mujhe call Kiya tha jab aap fut fut ke ro rahi thi

Sammy looked at him with shocked expression. She felt a little embarrassed too. Arjun noticed it.

Arjun: There is nothing to feel embarassed. Kabhi kabhi strangers ke samne vent out karna easy ho jata

Sammy: You are not a stranger Arjun

Arjun: Then who are we? Hum aapke hai kaun??

Arjun said dramatically making Sammy chuckled.

Sammy: We are in talking terms from last one week Arjun

Arjun: Woh to hona hi tha. I was scared for AK. He just recovered aur phir se mission pe chala gaya

Sammy: To rok lete

Arjun sighed and shook his head in no.

Arjun: Bahut important mission hai. And anyways you will be there na so  it's ok

Sammy frowned hearing this

Arjun: Waise sawari kidhar ja rahi thi? Banda lift de sakta hai

Sammy: Ek personal kam hai.

Sammy's face was showing seriousness and it was quite suspecious for a special agent so Arjun didn't press much but decided to be with her. They settled in his car and went to a lavish mansion according to the direction given by Sammy. They both came out from the car. Arjun accompanied her till door and Sammy rang the bell. A lady opened the door. She smiled at Sammy but was giving questioning look to Arjun. Arjun smiled at her nervously.

Sammy: He is my friend. Meri car me fuel khatam ho gaya tha to he helped

Lady nodded in yes and asked them to come inside and she closed the door.

Arjun: Aap kuchh Jani pehchani lagti hai

The lady smiled but didn't introduce herself and looked at Sammy with quite serious expression. Sammy nodded in yes and she and that lady went to a room and closed it. Sammy has asked Arjun ri to wait for a while and he was doing the same while enjoying the filter coffee. He was out of habit observing the decor and photos in the hall when his gaze fell on few particular pictures. Arjun was shocked seeing them.

Sammy and the lady came and found Arjun was looking at pictures.

Sammy: Chale?

Lady: Ruk jati Sammy

Sammy: Abhi nahi. Lekin kisi aur din pakka.

Lady nodded. Sammy looked at Arjun who was now just looking at the lady. Arjun could see the red eyes of her.

Sammy: Kya dekh rahe ho?

Arjun: Yeh pictures..

Sammy: I knew him already.

Arjun nodded in yes and they went and settled in the car. Arjun was driving back. Sammy found him unusually silent.

Sammy: Kuchh hua hai kya? Tum aise chup kyu ho gaye?

Arjun: Ek baat puchhu?

Sammy nodded in yes

Arjun: Sahi sahi answer Dena padega

Sammy again nodded in yes

Arjun: Are you by any chance The Samaira Sharma?? Daughter of The Rohit Sharma??

Samaira was first startled at his question but then nodded in yes

Sammy: Haan

Arjun instantly pulled the brakes.

Arjun: Are you serious? I mean.. you are really..

Sammy: Haan but tum kyu aise khush ho rahe ho jaise koi bichhada hua sathi mil gaya ho

Arjun chuckled. They reached at Wankhede Gate 2. Sammy thanked him and came out from the car.

Arjun: Tumse milke kafi khushi hui Sammy. And please take care of AK. Kafi khush hoga surprise dekh ke. (Now remembering something) Oh shit.. Abhi main chalta hoon okay. Dad ne kam diya tha jo main bhul gaya tha. I'll talk to you later. Bye take care.

He said everything in a go and went from there leaving a confused Sammy behind.

**********************************

Some youngsters were partying in the club in Bangalore. They enjoyed a lot. There was a girl who was partying the most. They partied till the club was closed and then she and her friends left. They went towards their respective PGs and homes. The girl reached her home and rang the bell continuously.

The couple who was sleeping cuddling to each other woke up with a jolt. They went to open the door. They saw the girl in half sleepy mode. The couple sighed and shook their heads at her antics. The lady took her inside and made her sleep in the guest room.

Lady: Mujhe to yeh samaj nahi aata ki iss ladki ko hamara ghar hi kyu dikhta hai party karne ke baad

Man: It's okay na Nushkie. Let her be

So the couple is our very own Virushka.

Anu: What let her be Vi. Paise paas wale PG ko deti hai, mostly rehti soti idhar hai. Mujhe to yeh samaj nahi aata tum isko itna jhel kaise lete ho.

Virat: Jaise tum jhel leti ho. She looks so much like Ro Nushkie. Aur surname bhi to Sharma hi hai na.

Anu sighed. She sat on the bed and caressed her hair.

Anu: Sirrf Dikhti uske jaisi hai. Haan Adate uske jaisi hai lekin Ro aur Ritz ke sanskar nahi dikhte isme.

Virat was about to say something but Anu called it a day and they went to sleep.

On the next day, the girl woke up with a killer headache. She just forwarded her hand and a glass of lemonade was placed in it. She drank it in one go.

Virat: Jab handle nahi hoti to piti kyu ho

Girl looked at other side.

Girl: I was partying Uncle cool

Virat: Phir Ghar pe bahes hui?

Girl didn't say anything.

Virat: Dad se bahes hui?

Girl was about to throw the glass in anger but stopped seeing Anu at the door with crossed arms. She gulped down in fear making Virushka both remembering Rohit who used to get scared seeing Anu like that. Girl looked down. Anu came to her and sat beside her and caressed her hair.

Anu: Bahes har ghar me hoti rehti hai beta.. Aise sharab Pina kisi baat ka hal nahi

The girl got up and went to freshen up. She came for breakfast. They had breakfast in silence. She then thanked them and got up to go. She was leaving when Virat spoke.

Virat: Ja rahi ho lekin aate waqt apna sara saman leke aana warna yaha nahi aana Sana

Sana looked at him who smiled and then at Anu who too smiled towards her and she ran and hugged them both.

Sana: Main abhi ke abhi sab kuchh leke aati hoon

Sha said happily and went to get her stuff.

Virat: Ek baar aa to ja idhar. Phir Teri thinking badal na di to Mera nam bhi Virat Kohli nahi

Virat gave his cheeky smile.

***********************************

Rohit was in the ground with everyone except Atharva who was allowed to come late.

Jaddu: Ro.. tumhara dhyan kidhar hai?

Rohit: I really don't know Jad. Bahut ajeeb sa lag raha hai. Kuchh to hoga Aaj pata nahi for good or bad but hoga

Nirbhay: Hota hai kabhi kabhi Coach. Just calm down.

Jaddu: Bhuvi pe hi gaya hai

Rohit chuckled. Jaddu too got a smile on his face.

Yash: Aaj ke din me kuchh to baat hai

Angad: Exactly..

Yash: Warna coach aur Papa dono ko itna khush itne time me pehli baar dekha hai

Jaddu: Well.. may be it's a nice day for us

Shrey and Rishu came to them. They too were having a good feeling about the day and were having a freshness on their faces.

The team was practicing and the coaches were helping when suddenly the wind started traveling in higher speed.

Rio: Yeh hawa ko aise speed me dekh ke aisa lagta ki kisi hero ki entry honewali hai

Orion aka Ori whacked him.

Ori: Are hero tere baju me khada hai. Mere alawa aur kaun sa hero aa gaya be

All chuckled and Angad shook his head at their antics. All were again going to resume their work but Rohit turned and looked towards the gate.

Yash: What's wrong Coach?

Rohit didn't respond and took few steps forward. He could feel his heart was beating faster. He could feel the familiar presence.

AK was taking deep breaths while taking each step and going inside.

Jaddu: Kya hua Ro?

All were looking at Rohit.

Rohit: I felt as if.. as if he is here..

Jaddu: Who?

Rohit gave him a look and Jaddu's heart skipped a beat. But before anyone could say anything, they heard someone climbed the stairs and was coming towards them.

Rio: Bola tha na hero ki entry..

Ori gave him a look.

Nirbhay: Waise dikhta to hero ke jaise hi hai Ori. Look at him..

Ori looked at the boy no.. man.. no boy (at least for him he thought he is a kid actually) coming. He was looking handsome with his clean shaved face with sunglasses on and a well built body.

Yash: Bas agar iss ladke ke face pe smile hoti na to bande pe lakho ladkiya aise hi mar jati

Jaddu: Har koi Nidhu jaisa nahi hota na.. smile dekh ke ladka select kar le Yash Kumar

The youngsters chuckled at Jaddu's roasting whereas Yash made a face. Rohit was just looking at the person coming towards them. That person came and stood in front of him. Rohit's heart was still beating faster. Shrey and Rishu came there.

Shrey: Who are you young man?

AK: Spe..

AK stopped on realising what he was about to say. He cleared his throat.

AK: Specially yaha pe transfer Kiya Gaya hai mera. My name is AK

Rohit: AK?

AK: Yes AK

Rishu: Are Bhai AK ka full form bhi to hoga na kid.. A for Abhay, Ajay, Anybody kuchh to hoga aur similarly K ka

AK made a fist to control his irritation.

AK: It's my professional name sir. Requesting you to call me with it

Angad came there.

Angad: Hi Angad Jasprit Bumrah here. I am the captain of the team.

AK: AK

They both shook hands professionally.

Yash: Yash Rajput

Nirbhay: Nirbhay Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Rio: Rio Suresh Raina

AK: AK

He shook hands with them again professionally.

Ori: Orion Yuvraj Singh

AK hold his hand but Ori held it tighter making AK glared at him. Ori smirked but his smirked turned into painful face when AK made the hold tighter and now it's time for him to smirk.

AK: Takat numayish ki cheez nahi hoti. Lekin agar numayish mere samne karoge to AK chhodega nahi

They left each other's hands.

Rishu: Rishabh Pant - Wicket Keeping Coach

Shrey: Shreyas Iyer - Assistant Coach

AK shook hands with them. The professionalism in his behaviour was irritating to rest all but they kept mum thinking it's because his first day

Jaddu: Ravindra Sinh Jadeja - Fielding Coach

AK shook hand with him. Jaddu though didn't say anything but a slight frown on his face was enough for Yash to understand that something was bothering him and it's with this new guy for sure

Rohit: Rohit Sharma - Head Coach

AK: AK

AK forwarded his hand. Rohit looked at his hand and then at him. Though there was nothing he could say is matching or similar to his Vi but he was feeling his Vi's presence around him. Rohit with shivering hands put his hand in AK's hand. AK saw his shivering hand and put his hand on Rohit's making Rohit's breath hitched.

AK: Are you okay?

Rohit composed himself and nodded in yes.

Rohit: Yeah.. yeah I am.. I am fine I guess

AK frowned but before anyone could say anything someone spoke.

Someone (surprised): Superhero..

AK looked at the person and was shocked to see him.
