VIRUSHKA: The Fairytale

Chapter 7: THE FOOTBALL MATCH

Next morning

Third person POV:
Another morning and Another storm in Anushka's room. She had again emptied her whole wardrobe and all her clothes were on the bed. Choosing dress is only thing that Anushka sucks at. Even to get rid of this daily drama, she has decided to add a walk in closet to her room. As of now finally, her mom came to her rescue and after another session of scolding, she suggested her a dress for the day. Anushka drove her Audi to the ground and entered in the dressing room. As she entered,a satisfying smile made its way on her face after seeing something. Now, as the players has still not arrived she decided to complete her work till then.
The team bus stopped right at the entrance of the ground and one by one all the players made their way to the dressing room. They were having their usual bickerings on the way and as soon as Mahi bhai opened the door, they all stopped and were surprised to see the room.The dressing room was completely renovated. The wodden seats were repalced by new chairs and the lockers had the players name on them. There was a new couch lying in the room and the room was looking way more spacious than before. There was a small room in the dressing room where all the used and waste stuff used to be stored, now it was totally clean and had enough space to put every players stuff.

Mahi bhai POV:
The dressing room looked the way we never imagined. I was not sure about the person behind this but when I saw Anushka with hopeful eyes, I got it that it was her only. All the players were also smart enough to know that it was Anushka. We all reached to her and appreciated her for this. When hardik questioned her about the changes, she very casually with her beaming eyes said "my job is to keep you guys away from discomforts by managing you, but the first thing that was causing discomfort to you all was this unmanaged dressing room, so I just conveyed my vision regarding the changes to the groundsmen and they just did it fabulously". And yet again, Anushka proved why she is the best.

Virat's POV:
We all were impressed by Anushka's working style. Soon we were at field for our practice sessions. Not to forget, that she made all of ours schedule in the most efficient way so that none of us have to wait for another to finish. So, we were done with our first session in just 3 hours which was exceptional.. Then, the next thing in our schedule was 1 hour of recreational activities. We didn't know what it meant so we called Anushka, she handed us a list with many fun games like Football, Aankh micholi (Blindfold), Bhagam-Bhaag (Run and catch), Kho-Kho and many more.
"Shastri sir told me to not increase time of your practice or training sessions. And there was still time left, so I thought u guys will enjoy playing these games together. If you don't want to, you can rest."Anushka suggested and all the boys literally jumped over her to take her into a hug. Obviously because playing such games is the thing we love to do the most but hectic schedule never allows us.

Anushka's POV:
Everyone loved the idea of recreational activities and now I can see all the boys having fun playing football but looks like there is some issue and In no time I see Rishab running towards me. "Di,u have been summoned by Mahi bhai. Join us in football quickly. We are waiting" Rishab came, said and went like a blow of air. I went on the field and Mahi bhai started "Anushka, U r in cheeku's team bcoz this sore looser is crying of having one less team member..just because his team is losing with 0-1.. 10 more minutes left for the game to be over. Okay?" and I just nodded bcoz it was an order more than a question. I have always been a huge football fan, basically Cristiano's fan and have played this sport a lot. Virat passes me the ball and I got into the mode soon and hit a brilliant goal which seemed impossible. I saw an enthusiastic Virat coming towards me celebrating the goal and he just took me in his well built arms. I don't think he realised what he was doing in the heat of the moment. Even I was shocked to see how animated Virat was. He was celebrating as if it was FIFA. His passion was worth watching, and i don't know but he resembled Ronaldo while doing his antics. I was wondering if he is that enthusiastic on a cricket field too or not?.. We again started the game and in the last minute I scored another goal and then another round of celebration, this time, it was the whole team..We moved to dressing room when Rohit said "Anushka, we didn't knew you were this good, otherwise we would have sent this piece of shit (pointing towards Shikhar) to Virat's team and added you in ours." Shikhar glared at Rohit and everyone was laughing when Virat came to me and slowly started
"I m sorry for what I did. I must have made you uncomfortable. It was purely unintentional. I am genuinely sorry." Woah...I was surprised that he actually realised about the happenings on the field but he was wrong I was definitely not uncomfortable, ohh ya, that because my mind was already in shock seeing the sight of animated Virat. But i felt good that Virat thought of clearing it. "No, it was nothing like that. I was okay. Even it felt amazing to be on the field, scoring goals and ending on a winning side..I enjoyed it" I said what I felt and Virat passed me a gentle smile before going away.

Third person POV:
The team finished their evening practice session and then were informed that the team bus has some problem and everyone needs to go to their houses on their own. Mahi called his driver to send him a car. And Virat was also about to make a call when Anushka offered the rest players lift. Hardik, Rohit, Rahul were seated on the backseat and forcibly dragged Virat to the car too and made him sit on the passenger seat. There was no need of an icebreaker when Hardik is there. He as usual started his nonsense and other joined. Anushka was also enjoying their company and was having a good laugh. Just then Anushka phone rang and she asked the players if they are comfortable if she picks the call on bluetooth and in return recieved a go ahead sign.

Virat's POV:
Anushka picked the call and A lady with a very tensed voice just started saying "Mam, mam...I need help".. We all became suddenly attentive and worried except Anushka who was as calm as she heard nothing.
"What is it, Priya. I've asked you to drop a message before calling me. You should know I can be busy with my work. Anyways, calm down and tell me?" Anushka replied to the lady and I couldn't believe how can she reply that way to a person in trouble.
"Sorry for that mam. But, Actually Ashima mam is asking for the record files of every plant. I just can't find the Delhi plant file. Mam, I don't know what to do? She can call me any moment." The lady spoke and now we know why Anuhska was behaving that way coz it was nothing of the sort we were thinking.
"Okay, Relax. I have already cross-checked that data. Tell mom, that I'll give her details at home. And Priya don't be so scared of mom, she won't eat you." Anushka told the girl with a laugh.
I was impressed. I mean, is she a human or machine. Looks like she keep working nonstop. Hats off to her dedication. Now, I was somewhere assured of what Mahi bhai said about Anushka. She is a real gem...
When I was busy in phone, I didn't realise that it was only two of us in the car left. There was an awkward silence and Anushka started the conversation,
"So, Mr Kohli where may I drop you?"
"I live in Worli, so kindly drop me there....and yeah only 'Virat' will work...." I answered her with a smile and she just smiled back. I then guided her to my home. She dropped me and drove the car to her home.
I just turned to find my little nephew Aarav looking at me with a smirk on his face. And he just said "Chachu, Girlfriend..good good...She is pretty" I was amazed at what he said, lifted him in my arms and entered the home and said "Champ, she is not my girlfriend, just our new manager..."
Aarav replied "Ohh... that's so bad..
She is so pretty, I want my Chachi to be like her. " and he ran away to his room. Kids are so straightforward, I mean how can he even imagine something like this.. but yeah, he was right at one thing, she is pretty...
Stop Kohli, what are u even thinking. I think I should take rest.. I went to my room and drifted to sleep in no time.
