Hearts United

The Results

Sanjana's POV:

Omg!!...Kabeer sir hugged me infront of everyone. I was so shocked when he did that. But soon I felt lucky and I think,
I deserved the appreciation.

I changed fast and came sat with him and the others as he told me. Ankur sir gave me a bone crushing hug and kissed my forehead. I just smiled. Tommy kissed my cheeks and side hugged me. I'm feeling so awkward right now. So much attention and appreciation. Heee heee....

Then Kabeer sir gestured me to sit in the middle of him and Ankur sir. I sat and we both shared a look for a second.

I don't know these days Kabeer sir's behavior around me becomes different. I'm just overthinking or...forget it, I need to focus on something much more.

Anyhow sitting in anticipation for everyone to finish. We waited looking at all other companies trying to do their best. For a moment I got scared and worried. The competition is not easy. It depends on the judges only.

I saw Annie shooting glares at me while I was on stage as well as now. I just looked away.

"So, everyone the most awaited moment of the night is here! but there is a small glitch here"
Said the host on stage with a small wired smile.

We all gave each other confused expression.

"Tonight has been terrific.  Since all of you have done an excellent job. The judges are not able to decide and have taken an extension of two days.
I guess you all need to wait for a more while. All the best to everyone. Please enjoy the rest of the night as dinner is being served at the garden of the hotel" Saying this she got off the stage.

"Damn what is this? It has never happened before"
Said Tommy in frustration.

"Is this some new game of Mr.Han, did he bribe any of the judges?" Ankur sir asked in worry and doubt.

"Whatever it is, I'm sure we'll get it this time"
Kabeer sir said with surety.

"Fine, let's all eat and leave then!" Said Tommy.

"Yeah let's go" Said Kabeer sir.

As we were having dinner many people came and spoke to Kabeer sir. People came praising our team's work and Kabeer sir's ideas. But every person that came, he made sure to introduce me and made me the lime light. Even he called Sam and appreciated him. All our other staff were very happy. Now I just hope our efforts work out and we win this.

Kabeer's POV:

I truned and twisted on my bed slowly opening my eyes. I looked around the room and it was not mine, I'm not at home.

"Where the hell am I?"
I thought and sat up straight.

Even my head is aching. I can't remember anything. What happened? Suddenly I realized my clothes are all on the floor and I'm naked. Shit! What the hell actually happened?

I got up and quickly wore my clothes. I searched for my phone and found it under the pillow. As I switched it on, more than 35 missed calls of Ankur, my sister, my brother in law and my sectarey.

"Damn what is going on?"
I whined and held my aching head.

I immediately called Ankur.

"Fucker, where the hell are you? What the fucking balls have you done? Are you even in proper senses?"
He blasted at me in clear anger.

"What's wrong? Why are you yelling like this?"
I asked and sat on the bed holding my painfull head.

"You bassted, after fucking that bitch the whole night your asking me whats wrong? huh?" He yelled again.

"What? What are you talking about?" I asked being totally confused.

"See man dont fuck around with me? And bring your ass infront of me right now!"
He screamed again in anger.

I can feel Ankur's anger and when he's really angry. That means the matter is really more than serious. I know him from the age of 11 and I trust him with all I have.

"Ankur I really can't remember anything man, my head is killing me and I'm not able to understand anything you're saying, please be clear"
I said taking a deep breath still holding my aching head.

"Kabeer, seriously what's wrong with you man?"
He asked annoyingly.

"Ankur I said I don't know what's going on!"
I yelled this time.

"Where are you right now?"
He asked in a serious tone.

"At some hotel I guess, I can't remember anything"
I said and walked up to the window.

I moved the certains, and could see a load of media reporters surrounded the building. Some general public with play cards of my name. I got little shocked and confused.

"Kabeer put on the TV and watch the news!"
He said leaving a long breath.

I immediately did as he said.

"Fashion industry owner CEO Kabeer Singhaniya of Fashion House allegedly raped his employee Annie Roberts. She filed a case of sexual assault and harassment this morning"

I sat back not knowing what to say.... I'm dead! I thought.

"Kabeer, Kabeer....
Ankur's voice through the phone bought me out.

"Ankur...this...I didn't do any...th..ing" I stuttered.

"Bro, I trust you wouldn't have. But right now the board members, committee members and all higher ups have called you to the council court"
He said softly in pain.

"Ankur I swear on Shikha di I have done nothing"
I said and stood up.

"Bro, just put yourself together and come to court. The office has already received official notice to close down"
He said again and I felt his pain with anger.

He just cut the call. I looked even my sister has messaged me. What am I to tell her? I somehow managed to put my mind straight and took my phone, coat, wallet and walked out. As I came down the stairs. I saw a group of cops approaching me.

You're in deep deep shit Kabeer my inner mind told me.

"Excuse me Mr. Singhaniya you are under arrest on the charges of molestation"
Said the officer boldly.

"Please cooperate with us"
He said to which I only nooded.

One of them cought me by my arm and they took me out like I'm some terrorist. As we came out the media cought us and we crossed them with lot of difficulty. I'm so very ashamed of myself right now.

God please help me. I just prayed within myself.
