Bangalore ,India

Bhuvi was walking towards the canteen ,lost in his thoughts that he didn't see where he was going and bumps in to someone .

When that someone turns Bhuvi gasp and said " Ro , you here ?" . As bhuvi was contemplating whether he should go check on Ro or not and then when suddenly Ro came in front he fumbled.

" Yes I'm still here , will leave in hour or so , did you have breakfast yet? " asked Ro seeing Bhuvi fidgety.

" No not yet , I was just going to canteen only" replied Bhuvi.

" Okay let's go have breakfast , anyway I need to talk with you" said Rohit.

" What happened Ro , what you need to talk " asked Bhuvi concern.

" Let's talk over breakfast " said Ro and walked towards canteen.

Bhuvi just nodded his head and walked behind Rohit.

They were seated and waiting for their order to come when Rohit spoke " I'm sorry Bhuvi , you had to see me like that yesterday and also thanks for handling jassi and taking care of me ."

" You don't need to say sorry or thanks to me , I did what any best friend would do in that situation and wait you said handle Jassi means you know jassi saw you in that condition." Said Bhuvi a bit concerned.

Taking a deep breath Ro replied " Yes I know he saw my condition yesterday as he called me this morning "

Flash back * Ro's POV*

When I woke up today , I was not feeling that well and yesterday nights was not all clear in my head. Deciding to freshen up and get breakfast before leaving I got out of bed.

Once I was all ready to leave my room I heard my phone ringing, knowing well who can call me at this time I received it saying
" Good morning bacche , how are you ?"

" Good morning bhaiya , I'm good and how are you ? "Replied Jassi.

" Even I'm good Jassi , so how was your practice , did you have your breakfast yet " asked Ro sitting on couch.

" Practice was good bhaiya , yes I had breakfast , so did you left for Mumbai yet or not " asked jassi.

" Not yet will leave in a few hours " replied Ro.

" Accha okay bhaiya , ummm... bhaiya " said Jassi a little hesitant.

Ro hummed in response only to hear Jassi say " umm Kuch nhi bhaiya , I'll go then "

" Jassi what you wanted to say , say that first then go and don't try denying it because I know when you lie " said Ro a bit sternly.

Sighingly Jassi said " I just wanted to know whether you are okay or not after yesterday's incident."

" Jass what happened yesterday , I only remember seeing that picture and Bhuvi , ooh god Bhuvi he ....he saw me like that broken , he saw my pills also ...what he must be thinking now " Ro kept rambling.

Jassi on other hand could hear Ro panicking so he said " Bhaiya BHAIYA please calm down , I'll tell you everything that happened and even what Bhuvi bhaiya knows and what not "

And that's what exactly happened for next few minutes jassi explained everything how he made Harry delete that photo , how he was trying to call him but could reach and how Bhuvi received his phone and showed him Ro's condition and how he told Bhuvi to give medicine and how much he has explained to Bhuvi about his condition and the promise he took from Bhuvi asking not to tell anyone about this.

Hearing everything from his kiddo , Ro said " Mera chota kiddo itna baada kab  huwa "

Smiling Jassi replied " naah bhaiya , Aapke liye Mai hamesha chota hi rahunga so I can get extra attention just like Sammy "

End of flashback

Ro was smiling remembering Jassi's last reply when he heard Bhuvi say " Muhje toh Bola kisko bolna mat and khud Apne bhaiya ko call krke first thing in morning Sab Kuch baata Diya "

Chuckling Ro said " THAT'S my kiddo , he can't hide anything from me "

" Ha ha pata hai sabko , vese Ro how are you now " Bhuvi asked getting serious in end.

Sighing Ro answered " I'm fine Bhuvi , I don't know how that image triggered this much I guess it's because I forgot to take my medicine yesterday, you don't worry too much I'm better now ."

Nodding his head Bhuvi said " okay i believe you , just take care of yourself don't let me see you again in that condition ever , only I know what happened to me when I saw like that, and also remember if you need to talk anything I'm here , okay "

Ro nodded his head and said "I know you're there , thanks Bhuvi for just being there and sorry I made you panic. "

" Ro there is nothing to say thanks and sorry for anything , I'm your close friend and if you keep saying thanks then I'll be upset with you and hamare bich sorry kabse aane lage say Sorry one more time and you will see the worst side of me " said Bhuvi feigning anger.

" Aree nahii Bhuvi , I won't say thanks again , and no sorry too,  see our breakfast is here , let's eat I need to pack few things before leaving." Said Ro.

They were enjoying breakfast with small talk when DK came to them and said " oye Sharma Tu idhr hai Mai kab se tuhje aur bhuvi ko dhund Raha hu"

" Ha toh abhi tuhje mile na humlog , toh bolna kyu dund Raha tha Hume " said Ro.

" Ha Karthik what happen ,why were you searching us". Asked Bhuvi calmly.

" Aree vo some of the boys and I planned to make video for team to motivate them , so even I asked Mahi Bhai to record one clip and send , it's just you two are remaining now , so hurry up tumlog bhi video record krke muhje dedo jaldi se" said DK in all hurry.

" Are Dinu Yaar , but Mai abhi niklne wala Hu Mumbai ke liye ----" Rohit was saying when DK cut him off saying " why don't you both record video together , so it will be time saving for everyone and less work for me to edit."

Rohit was about to taunt something. When Bhuvi said " Ha thik hai Karthik, I'll record and send it, now come on Ro let's record video and then I'll even help you pack"

They both went to Rohit's room , where Bhuvi sat on couch setting up his phone to record video while Rohit was running around checking everywhere to see if he has forgotten anything out.

After some time they were finally done recording video and Rohit was all ready to leave so he could spend his break with family before he has to returns back and complete his training and give his test.

Same Day in Australia :

Team was notified to be present in team room in evening by coach without giving much details as why the sudden meeting was arranged.

Everyone was nervous and wary about meeting as everyone was thinking coach will give them how ' disappointing he is ' lecture. But to there surprise when everyone arrived they were seated and coach started screening something.

Everyone was looking curiously untill they saw Dk and a few guys appear on the screen and a video started playing and mostly everyone said " WE BELIEVE IN YOU GUYS , WE WILL BOUNCE BACK , WE SUPPORT YOU IN WIN SO WE SUPPORT YOU IN LOSS TOO. WINNING AND LOSING IS PART OF THE GAME. NOT EVERYDAY IS OUR  DAY. WE WILL BOUNCE BACK, MUCH STRONGER THAN BEFORE

WE ARE THE ICT FAM
WE ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER
NO MATTER WHAT
WE LOVE YOU
WE MAY BE MILES APART BY DISTANCE BUT NEVER THROUGH HEART
WE ARE ONE ♥️💙"

When video was nearing to end,  Virat still watching every clip warily and then he slowly whispered to Jinks " Dekha sabka video clip hai but Ro Ka nahii , gussa mere pe haina toh team ke liye kyu nhi---"  he was saying when he heard Dk's voice saying " Guys last one is specially unedited as this idiots took more time then intended but I guarantee you it's free entertainment hope you like it"  so he moved his attention to screen only to see Bhuvi yelling " Yaar Ro bhaag mat idhr udhr , Mai search krke dunga tera t-shirt , idhr aa video start hui hai "

Virat could hear Rohit's voice as he said " Mera favourite t-shirt hai vo and jacket bhi Gayab hai "

Listening this team was laughing thinking Rohit and his habit to forget things but before anyone can say anything they heard Rohit " Bhuvi I remember now Mera t-shirt and jacket Dubai se Gayab hai ...aahh I know ye Harry ne hi liya Hoga " saying this he joined Bhuvi and was visible now on screen and first thing he said was " Hey Harry I very well know you have taken my t-shirt and jacket and Don't even deny that because i remember you were eyeing it since I wore it in party-- " before Rohit could say more Bhuvi slapped on his hand and said " we are recording this for some purpose , let's start that "

" Ooh hey guys , we know what everyone already might have said so we won'tn't repeat it " they said together and then Bhuvi said " Guys it's fine to lose some days , as until we don't lose we won't know how to rise up and tough fight "

" Yes guys untill we don't fall , we won't be able to stand back up so let's take the odi loss as a lesson of our fall and don't take it heart, just rise up and  bounce back to be more stronger and fierce in the next match and win the series and the trophy which is rightfully ours. ." Said Rohit .

"Yes, Team go and show the world our team is much stronger then any other, show the world how to rise up again" Bhuvi said along with Ro.

" And captain we are proud of you , just one series isn't enough for us to loss our faith in you . So we believe in you , we believe in us, just like everyone else , we are always with you if not physically then virtually. This distance is nothing. Do we need to tell how much we respect and adore you Skip ." Said both of them together.

Listening this Virat was smiling with glossy eyes so Jinks put his hands on his shoulder like a silent support and let his eye speak " see and you were thinking he didn't care about you , he might be angry with you now but soon everything will be alright" and again focus on screen.

" Jassi , Harry I want you guys to say those line which I said few weeks back in MI dressing room before qualifier match."

And screen went blank and now whole team was staring at Jassi and Harry curiously so they stood up and made everyone stand in round and then Jassi spoke first " So team listen to me clearly I won't repeat this again when we go out their to play we won't think about winning or losing but just about giving  our best to the game and guys whether we win , whether we lose ,we have to smile , we have to smile" and further Harry added " wining and losing is part and parcel of game but what attitude we keep throughout game matters most and game is not over till last ball is being bowled so every effort counts till the end and I don't want any sad and self doubting faces around or you will get punishment for roaming around with sad faces" as soon as Harry completed. He was rewarded by slap on head by none other than Jassi who said " Harry you idiot that last part was for only MI camp , you were not supposed to say that "

Pouting Harry said " what mtlb punishment Ka part idhr applicable Nahi haii ...I thought I'll get to punish Rahul who always keep scowling, just like how Ishu got chance to punish bRo and Polly for being caught with sad faces"

Being the gossiper he is Yuzi was first one who jumped to Harry asking " Rohita Sharma and Pollard ko kya punishment Mili thi "

Seeing around finding many curious eyes Hardik grinned and said " Aree ask kya kya krna padha punishment Mai "

" Ha Harry batana kya kya krna pada punishment Mai Ro Bhai ko " asked Mayank.

" Listen then first Ishu said they will have to keep smiling face on for one hour , even when they felt like killing someone they had to keep smiling and secondly he made sure they don't have any peaceful second in that one hour, he was sending some or other member with silly doubt or call them from hotel landline and irritate them so they can snap and get more punishment for not completing punishment properly , finally he tied them together by hand and they had to do everything together for hour ."

" Other all is okay but why the last punishment though" asked Rahul trying to understand.

And same time virat voiced his thoughts asking " but why were the captain and vice captain of team sad which had just qualified for finals "

Jassi in reflect hold Harry's hand and squeezed it , this gesture was totally unnoticeable for other but someone did notice it but keep quiet,  waiting for answer from Harry.

Sighing Hardik said "actually both your questions answers are linked " everyone gave him confused look and for once even jassi was confused as what story did Harry have ready this time.

So Hardik started again " when Ishan caught them sad , they said they were just sad because they will be missing eachother when they all go back home so Ishan said why not tie them up to eachother so they spend Extra time together."

Hearing this a certain someone was again jealous and huffing he went away muttering " ha vo Polly ko miss krega , Mera kya firr "

Jinks had small smile , seeing his besties antics and he shifted his gaze to Harry and Jassi , who were smiling to eachother and heard Jassi mumbling " waah Harry , you can give jaddu Bhai competition for storytelling"

Laughing Hardik replied " As much as I would like to take your compliment , but I can't as I didn't make that story this time , it was Polly who said this to Ishan when he caught them sad after that phone call".

" Shush Harry no mentioning of that thing" Jassi said and went away from there.

Leaving behind a very confused and curious Jinks , who was now more determined on to searching everything.
