Bitter Love

chapter -4

Mahi pov

They say time can heal all your pain and misery but in my case time have only increased my pain because I wasn't able to get the answer i was searching for which left me restless for many nights.

Now that answer is standing in front of me as my BCCI president, i wasn't at peace. No i was wondering why God was playing with my feelings or emotions. I am still unable to understand what went wrong or why i wasn't able to understand her.

Dada was introducing her around my team mates. She was very calm and civil with everyone. I guess her anger was reserved for me only. Or maybe it was just her facade to gain their trust .

"I still don't understand why that beep is here" Yuvraj's voice broke my train of thoughts. I looked at him confused at his choice of words.

"Beep"? I questioned him.

"Arre yaar dada ne punishment di hai no gaali for 1 week" yuvi said making a baby face. I laughed out loudly gaining everyone's attention. I quickly composed myself and whispered to yuvi" accha hai kam se kam tujhe tadapta dekhunga me"

"Yaar ye aesa lag raha jaise humlog school ke student hai aur principal humlog ko lecture Dene aai hai" Shikhar said coming towards us along with bhuvi, ajinkya and Ash.

"But she is too cute to be Hitler principal " bhuvi said in aww.

I just looked at her and what i saw took my breath away. She was laughing at something virat said. I was happy that she was happy and laughing and at the same time i was angry and jealous because since the day i met her she only looked at me in anger and hate.

Dada dismissed everyone and said that they will meet in the hotel after our practice. Sakshi came towards me and yuvi . She shakes her hand with Yuvraj . All the time he was keeping a poker face as he was not interested in any conversation .

" Aapse to thik se baat bhi nhi hui Mr vice captain" sakshi said in a taunting voice. Yuvraj let out a chuckle and whispered dangerously " not interested, Ma'am."

"Oho yuvi come on don't be so uptight" sakshi said with a smirk. Yuvraj just looked at her in pure disgust. And her behaviour was hurting me. I was good at hiding my emotions and my tears behind my  smile. I did it again because I didn't want to let anyone know about my past at least not now.

She turned towards me and slowly her face turned sad. She was looking at me with so many emotions in her eyes. But the most dominant was hate. But I just looked at her calmly and i extended my hand to her " Indian cricket team welcomes you" i said softly at the same tone which was reserved only for her. She slowly shook her hand with me and said thanks.

Dada : ohk guys u keep practicing we will meet you at the hotel meeting room . Sakshi will announce some changes in the team.

Saying that Dada left with sakshi behind him. I don't know why for once i wanted her to turn around for me, but she silently left.

Hardik: waise cheeku Bhai kya baat kr rahe the aap usse Jo vo itna hass rahi thi.

Virat: yhi ki tu bahut accha player hai.

Everyone was joking with each other and looking at them i finally thought that no matter what i won't let sakshi break this team.

At hotel

"So as we all are gathered here for the betterment of the team, i,sakshi the president of BCCI hereby inform you some changes that's going to take place in team." All eyes and ears were on her as what changes she was going to make but i know for sure it wasn't going to be pleasent.

I looked around and saw that all my teammates were nervous but more than that determined to prove themselves. I was just worried for my teammates and how these changes are going to effect them.

Virat: don't u think that there is no need for any changes . Our team is strong enough to win next world cup.

Sakshi: of course vice captain i totally agree with you but still there is going to be some changes. Firstly i would like to appoint new selection committee. My very own people Arun Raj , Karthik Singh, Rahul Kumar and the one and only Mr Sanjay manjrekar.( All the names are fictional except our villian Sanjay manjrekar)

Everyone around us became very shocked after listening to her. The present selection committee was the best and she was removing them without any notice. Even dada was shocked from this decision.

Dada: but sakshi without any notice u can't remove them.

Sakshi: first of all its ma'am to u and secondly i m the boss here so I am going to make all the decisions. Don't worry they will be given reward for their hard work.

I can't believe that sakshi was talking with such arrogance. I wasn't sure what suddenly happened to her but she should be professional. The sakshi i knew was very punctual and professional towards her work. She always kept her personal and professional life seprate.
But i know that she is doing this to make me weak. But i was not going to let her win.

Sakshi: Any further changes will be taken with the selection committee and the captain obviously. So all the best for the future.

Saying this she left from there with her so called selection team. I wasn't going to let her destroy me. Till today i was worried for her but if she wanted to play dirty than i will give her taste of her own medicine.

AN:  sorry for late update as my exams where going on. Hope u like the new chapter.
