All looked at the person who was surprisingly looking at AK.

Rohit: Atharva.. come here kiddo

Atharva came to him happily. Rest all were happy just by seeing him happy and smiling. His smile.. how they all want to save it and treasure it and how it used to come on his face so rarely. The dimples on his cheeks were one of the cutest inheritance he has from his father.

Angad (in low voice): Waise to hai hi lekin Smile karte hue puri tarah Rah chachu ki carbon copy lagta hai yeh

Nirbhay put a comforting arm around Angad's shoulder.

Rohit: Kiddo.. kisko superhero bol rahe ho?

Rohit asked Atharva who was all excited to answer but stopped seeing AK shaking his head in no.

Atharva: Woh.. bade papa woh..

Jaddu: Tu kab se Ro ke jaise woh woh karne laga?

Rohit rolled his eyes whereas rest all except AK chuckled.

Atharva: Main to bas yeh bol raha tha ki yeh bhaiya hero nahi superhero jaise dikhte hai

Rohit: Beta yeh new player hai.

Atharva: Player???

He asked being shocked.

Ori: Kyu? Isko superhero banna tha kya? Shooting karne aya hai kya idhar?

Atharva gulped down getting scared about his lie about superhero to get caught but AK came between Ori and him.

AK: You are right by the way. I should have tried acting. I will definitely get an Oscar. Thanks for advice Mr Yuvraj Singh

Ori: Orion mera nam hai. Yuvraj is my father's name

AK: Oh.. woh kya hai na aap sab ne apna introduction apne papa ke nam ke sath diya to mujhe laga woh bhi apka nam hoga.

All felt embarrassed. It was not intentional but they did it.

Angad: Sorry.. it wasn't intentional. We feel proud on them to muh se nikal jata hai

AK: It's fine. Lekin agar kabhi try karoge ki unka nam liye bina age badhoge to shayad unko aap se aur bhi zyada proud feel hoga. Aur waise bhi.. Apne parents ko proud feel karwana na best feeling hai.

There was suddenly silence in the ground as everyone was feeling quite heavy. Shrey decided to break it.

Shrey: Achchha ab baatein bahut ho gayi. Sab practice karo. And AK you go and settle yourself. Tum sham se practice join kar sakte ho

AK: Okay but what about my room?

Rohit: Haan woh tunhara room ready hi hai. Atharva leke jao beta

Atharva: Chaliye

Atharva and AK went to his room. AK saw a big room with all the necessary facilities, a sofa and two comfy beds, two cupboards and was all more than good for an agent as they are habituated to face worst so he was all fine.

Atharva: Yeh hamara room hai.

AK nodded in yes.

Atharva: Aap cricket bhi khelte ho bhaiya?

AK: First thing first, don't call me Bhaiya

Atharva: Are lekin aap bade ho. Apko bhaiya nahi bolunga to kya bolunga.

Atharva made a cute pout making AK smile at his antics but he quickly looked at other side so that Atharva couldn't get any idea of the attachment AK always feels with him.

Atharva: Achchha ab aap fresh ho jao. Main practice ke liye ja raha hoon.

AK nodded in yes and went to washroom. Atharva too went to ground for practice. AK got freshen up and took his phone and messeged someone.

AK: It's better you come faster, It's just 15-20 mins and I am already feeling suffocated

AK put his phone aside and sighed.

Sana came to Virushka's place and kept her all luggage in the guest room.

Sana: Pura Woh complete karke aayi hoon yaha

Anu: Woh??

Virat: Hisab kitab

Anu: Oh..

Virat: Good girl Sana. Now come and sit here with me. Let's watch something

Anu: Haan haan. Hospital to aise hi pada hai na khali. Patient hai hi nahi

Sana: Aaj Mera Woh hai

Virat: It's okay na Nushkie. Off hai uska. Let her chill with me. Don't get jealous

Anu: Oh hello.. I am not getting jealous

Virat and Sana gave her a look to which she just huffed and went to kitchen making faces. Virat and Sana laughed at her antics. They started watching some movie on team work.

Sana: Ek Team Ek Family huh.. bakwas hai sab

Virat: Aisa nahi hota bachcha

Sana: You know nothing Uncle.. Aisa hi hota hai.

Virat: Aur agar aisa na hota ho to?

Sana: AISA HI HOTA HAI

Anu ran to hall hearing the loud voice of Sana.

Anu: Kya hua?

Tears fell from Sana's eyes. Virat sighed. He took her in a hug to which she snuggled more.

Sana: Parayo ko apna nahi manna chahiye. Dil ke rishton jaisa kuchh nahi hota

Virat broke the hug making Sana frown. She looked at him confusingly.

Virat: Agar dil ke rishton jaisa kuchh nahi hota to phir mujhe koi haq nahi hai tumhe yaha rakhne ka.. tumhe apni bachchi ki tarah treat karne ka.

Sana: Yeh aap kya keh rahe ho uncle?

Virat: Wahi keh raha hoon jo tumne kaha Sana. Agar dil ke rishton jaisa kuchh nahi hota to hamare aur tumhare beech me jo hai woh kya hai

Sana didn't have answer of it. She looked down. Anu came to her and took her in a hug.

Sana: Papa apne dil ke rishte ke pichhe itne busy ho gaye ki unke paas apni beti ke liye time hi nahi hai

Virat sighed.

Virat: Har parent ke paas apne bachcho ke liye hamesha time hota hai Sana. Bachcho ki ek hasi sare din ki thakan utar deti hai

Sana: Aisa kuchh nahi hota.

Virat: Let's try then. You will call your father tonight. Talk to him properly and see unke paas tumhare liye time hai ki nahi

Anu: Great idea Sana. Think and let us know. But for now you both come with me in the kitchen and taste karke batao Chhole kaise bane hai.

Virat and Sana both almost ran to kitchen as soon as they heard it. Anu chuckled at their antics but deep inside she was still missing her Old Vi who was fitness freak.

BCCI office was hustling and bustling with employees' continuous chatter about the new presenter. Sanjana Ganesan Bumrah was going to introduce her to the employees.

Sanjana: Hey guys.. please meet our new Sports Presenter and Digital Content Creator Miss Vani aka VK

A girl in white shirt and black pant came there with high ponytail hairstyle. She was looking professional as well as stunning.

Sanjana: Welcome Vani

VK: Thanks Ma'am. But Please call me VK. It's my professional name

Sanjana: Of course. Everyone please make sure you use her professional name while addressing her. And VK.. for starting you need to prepare the digital poster of our new team which was being prepared at Wankhede. Players ki list tumhe mil jayegi

VK: Okay ma'am

VK was busy with some or the other colleagues in introducing herself and knowing others when someone spoke.

Employee: By the way you know your eyes are just like HIM..

VK: Him?? Who is that?

Employee: Are wahi jiske bare me itni baat nahi hoti.. nam nahi lete

VK: Oh.. You mean to say Virat Kohli right??

Employee: Shh..

VK: Are isme kya Shh? Isme kya darne ka. Waise bhi traitor ka nam lene se pehle sochte nahi hai aur nahi usko aise admire karte hai

Someone: And who are you to call him traitor??

VK glared at the person. Sanjana came there and took that person and VK both at a side.

Sanjana: Yeh kya hai?

VK: Maine to Jo sach hai wahi kaha. Beech me to yeh ghus gaye

Someone: Inhone sach nahi jhooth bola hai. Vi chachu ne kuchh nahi kiya Chachi

Sanjana: I know Arya.. Calm down okay

So the someone is none other than Arya Ajinkya Rahane.

Sanjana: VK.. tumhe kya zaroorat thi unka nam lene ki?

VK: Are koi meri comparison kisi traitor ke sath kare aur main apne aap ko defend bhi na karu? Aisa kaise ho sakta hai batao aap

Arya: For the last time he is not a traitor damn it and it would be better you get it clearly. You understand that you bloody..

Before he could say anything further, Sanjana took him from there. Tears fell from VK's eyes. The employee because of whom the entire drama has begun come to her.

Employee: Sorry yaar.. bura mat manna.

VK: Mujse aaj tak kisi ne aise baat nahi ki

Employee: Arya sir aise nahi hai VK. Lekin baat jab Virat sir ki aati hai to puri team gusse se aag babula ho jati hai. Aaj bhi Koshish kar rahe hai woh log ki sahi traitor mil jaye lekin abhi tak successful nahi hue. Virat sir desh ko to nahi bechenge itna to yakin hai hume unpe

VK: Whatever..

Employee: Ek din tumhe bhi hoga dekh lena..

VK: I don't think so..

Employee: Dekh lenge. Anyways Kiara here

VK: VK..

They both shook hands.

......................................................................

AK was going towards ground when he stumbled upon someone and it's none other than Sammy. They both were surprised.

Sammy: Tum??

AK: Aap?

Atharva who was coming back to call her only saw them and went to them.

Atharva: Hi Di..

Sammy was now more surprised to see Atharva happy that too this much. But soon Atharva's expression changed.

Atharva: Di.. chalo jaldi. Woh Ori bhaiya ko hath me sprain aa gaya lagta hai

Sammy went with Atharva. AK was about to follow her but saw Jaddu was going towards his room followed by a tensed looking Yash. He frowned and went after them.

Yash: Shu thayu chhe Papa? (What happened papa?)

Jaddu sighed.

Yash: I know it's something big which is bothering you and it's related to that AK hai na?

AK was shocked hearing this. His hand automatically went towards his gun.

Jaddu: Isme AK ki koi galati nahi hai Yash. It's may be me only..

AK was surprised as well as confused hearing this. Yash too was confused.

Yash: Matlab??

Jaddu: Shayad budha ho raha hoon na to ab pehle ke jaise dosto ko nahi mehsoos kar pata. Ya phir..

Yash: Aap kehna kya chahte ho Papa?

Jaddu: Woh Naya ladka.. usko dekh ke Veer ki yaad aa gayi Yash. Nahi main usse kabhi bhula nahi hoon lekin.. aaj itne saalo baad aisa laga jaise.. jaise Mera Veer mere sath hai

Yash: Papa you know na we don't know..

Jaddu cut him gently.

Jaddu: I know baba. Lekin iss waqt main iss feeling se pareshan nahi hoon. I am worried for Ro.

Yash: Coach??

Jaddu: Coach nahi Ro. Your Ro chachu. Agar.. agar AK ko dekh ke meri yeh halat hai to Ro ka to pata nahi kya haal ho raha hoga. Kab se dhundh raha hoon usko mil hi nahi Raha. Dar lag raha hai mujhe usko leke.

Hearing this AK started looking for Rohit everywhere. He peeped into ground and analysed properly but Rohit was not there. He still went to ground.

AK: Atharva..

Atharva: Ji bhaiya..

AK: Don't call me that..

Hearing this all except Atharva looked at AK surpriaingly as they all got reminded of their Vi chachu and Rah Chachu's favourite banter.

Atharva rolled his eyes hearing the dialogue.

Atharva: Apko kya kam tha bhaiya?

AK: Haan woh Rohit Sharma..

Sammy: Excuse me..

AK: What??

Sammy: Izzat se nam lo unka. Papa hai mere

AK was shocked hearing this. He kept looking at Samaira for few seconds. Rest all noticed it and were getting weird feeling.

Atharva: Kya kam tha apko?

It broke AK's trance.

AK: Haan kya?

Atharva: Are bhaiya kya kam tha apko?

AK took Atharva to a side.

AK: Rohit Sharma sir nahi dikh rahe kahi. Mr Jadeja bhi pareshan ho rahe hai

Atharva (getting hyper): What?? Kyu nahi mil rahe Bade Papa? Kya hua unko?

AK was surprised to see him getting hyper.

AK: Kuchh nahi hua hai unko. Bas bata ke nahi gaye kaha gaye hai aur ek urgent meeting ke liye Mr Jadeja ko unko zarurat thi .

Atharva: Oh.. main to dar hi Gaya tha

AK: Itna nahi darte Kiddo.

Saying so he ruffled Atharva's hair and went from there. Atharva was on cloud 9 and why he didn't know. AK was going towards terrace cursing himself internally for showing affection towards Atharva but what can he do when he himself was getting way too much attached with the kid named Atharva.

AK reached terrace and started checking it for Rohit and there he was sitting in a corner. He sighed in relief. He checked the entire terrace for anyone but none was there.

AK went to Rohit who was sitting there with closed eyes .

AK: Aap chaliye niche.. chinta kar rahe sab

No response.

AK: Excuse me..

No response.

AK frowned and bent down. He put his hand on Rohit's shoulder and found his body started falling. He quickly put his hand below his head before it touches the ground.

AK: Sir.. sir..

He was calling while Patting his cheeks but there was no response. He picked him up and took him to his own room. He sprinkled water on him which worked and Rohit started getting consciousness. AK sighed in relief.

Rohit opened his eyes and found himself in the room. He saw AK. AK forwarded him the water Which he drank in one go.

AK: Dhyan rakhiye apna. Chinta hone lagi thi

Rohit: Kisko?

AK: Apke dost ko. Aur apke ladle bhatije ko. Aur apki beti ko abhi tak pata nahi hai.. agar pata chalega to..

Rohit: Thanks for helping me

AK: Hua kya tha?

Rohit: I don't know.

AK: I mean kisi ne koi hamla ya kuchh..

Rohit: Are koi hamla kyu karega woh bhi yaha pe? Aisa kuchh nahi hai. May be BP me uper niche ho gaya hoga kuchh

AK: And you think it's a joke

Rohit: Why are you getting worked up? Aisa to nahi hai ki tumhe hamari fikr hai.. hume apna mante ho right..

AK shook his head in disbelief and went from there. Rohit sighed. He sat there with closed eyes. Soon enough Sammy came there and was glaring at Rohit.

Rohit: Baba..

Sammy: Maine kal bola tha na tension mat lo.

Rohit: I am fine baba

Sammy checked his BP which was still high but he was looking better.

Sammy: Thanks AK. And you Dada.. go to your room and take some rest. I am coming

Rohit sighed but agreed. As soon as he went from there, Sammy stood with crossed arms in front of AK.

Sammy: So.. Special Agent AK.. what brings you here?

AK: Mission

Sammy was beyond shocked hearing this.

Night time

Atharva was in the ground and was practicing. AK was observing the area for any suspicious activity by staying in the ground. Sammy came there.

Sammy: You said you are here for the mission.

AK: Hmm..

Atharva: To aap kheloge nahi bhaiya

AK: I hate Cricket

Sammy and Atharva looked at him with surprised expression.

AK: I love my duty more than I hate Cricket.

Sammy and Atharva both smiled slightly.

AK: Kisi ko pata nahi chalna chahiye meri real identity ke bare me

Sammy: Don't worry AK. We understand. Iss liye to abhi tak nahi bataya na kisi ko

AK nodded in yes.

Sammy: AK.. please sab ke sath ghul mil ke raho. Itna professionally behave karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Easy ho jayega tumhara Kam.

AK: Di please.. isme aap mat bolo kuchh.

Atharva: Thanks bhaiya for saving me that day in mall

AK: Tum mujhe yeh batao ki sab bahar chale gaye the to tum kaise reh gaye uss din waha

Atharva: Main nikal raha tha lekin mera bat gir gaya tha to wahi lene gaya tha

AK: See.. iss liye I hate Cricket. Uss din ek bat ke liye iski jaan pe ban aayi thi.

Atharva: Cricket is an emotion Bhaiya

AK: No it's not. It's a bloody thing which takes lives. Zindagi chhinna aata hai usse

There was a different level of rage could be seen in his eyes and Sammy and Atharva both kept mum seeing it. AK took some deep breaths and looked at Atharva.

AK: Aur tum.. agar bat gir gaya tha to aise hi rehne dete na. Kisne bola tha lene Jane ko. Dusara bat nahi tha kya?

Atharva: Dusare bats the but that bat is special bhaiya.

AK: Kyu moti lage the uspe?

Atharva: Nahi. Woh hote to to main kab ka nikal jata. Usse bhi zyada special bat tha.

AK: Aisa kya tha uss so call special bat me?

Atharva: Papa ka bat tha woh. Itne saalo se sambhal ke rakh hai maine usse. Aise kaise usse Jane deta

AK: Are to phir apne Papa ko bol dete ki dusara bat dede tumhe unka simple.

Atharva looked at him with blank face. Sammy gasped inaudibly.

Atharva: Agar bol pata to uss din uss bat ke liye nahi rukta. May be I am not that lucky.

Saying so he took his things and went from there. Sammy gave an angry look to AK and went after Atharva who was looking at both of them confusingly.
......................................................................

It was dinner time when Anu was trying to make Virat have some food.

Anu: Vi yaar kya hai tumhe?

Virat: Ajeeb sa lag raha hai. Man nahi kar raha kuchh khane ka.

Anu: Everyone is fine Vi. Kuchh hota to news me aata na.

Virat: Hmm

Sana came there. She was looking nervous.

Virat: Kya hua?

Sana: Nothing.. kabhi aise call nahi kiya na to ajeeb lag raha

Anu: Aaj ke baad nahi lagega.

Anu made Sana have some food. Virat was holding glass of juice but was not having it. Anu too had some food for the sake of having it and then they all set to call Sana's father.

Sana called Rohit after taking some deep breaths. Rohit was sleeping after taking the medicine so the call was missed.

Sana: Dekha nahi uthaya

Anu: Kya pata phone baju me na ho

Virat: Possible. Ab mujhe hi dekh lo main idhar hoon aur mera phone pata nahi kidhar ghum raha

Sana was confused on whether she should call again or not.

Virat: Don't think much Sana. Call him once again.

Sana was still confused but Virat touched the call icon and made the call to Rohit while sitting beside Sana and looking at the screen of her laptop. Rohit opened his eyes suddenly as he heard the ring. He saw the called ID and it's Sana. His heart was beating faster. He took some deep breaths to calm himself. He picked up the call and was shocked.
