Sparks Fly

17. Truth.

17. Truth.

At the hotel...

Virat, went to the reception immediately, to get the room keys. 

That was the plan. To Karan, Virat was the best cricketer, so his men would just think Virat is there to stay. 

Through the receptionists only, rather the men of the culprits would the team get their revenge.

Aadhya, Anisha and Kashvi had their own three beds in one room. Shreyas and Abhishek were also sharing a room, and Virat, still worried about Shubman, decided with Rohit that Shubman and Ishan would share a room. As long as Shubman was with any of them, he wouldn't even think of looking at the trolls' posts again. Especially when he was with Ishan.

"He'll be fine, Vi. Tu zyada woh mat le," Rohit said.

"I know, Ro, but-" He stopped speaking as Shubman came up to them. 

"Bhai, ab toh phone dedo? Pakka promise, I won't look at those posts."

"Okay, fine." Virat replied, handing Shubman his phone back. "Jaa, rest. Tell the boys we'll meet by the pool."

"Okay, Bhai." Shubman left.

"See, Vi. He promised you. Now stop worrying."

Meanwhile, hospital:

Kanishka had just regained consciousness.

"Bhabhi, Anisha? Aadhya, Kashvi? Sab kaha hai?" She asked immediately, sitting up on the bed.

"Kanishka, calm down. The girls have gone to New York." Ritika replied.

"New York? But why?! And Shreyas?"

"Him, Shubman, Ishan, Abhishek, Rohit, Virat and Rahul also went to New York."

"But why Bhabhi?"

"To find out who did this to you and get revenge." Anushka said.

"Shreyas..." Kanishka muttered. "Agar un mein se kisi ko kuch bhi hua toh..."

"Nothing will happen to them, they're all together." Ritika replied.

"But why did Aadhya, Anisha and Kashvi go? They weren't even supposed to know about Karan! I had only told them about Kavya showing up randomly and wanting a dance competition...." Kanishka's mind tried rushing back through incidents, but it was of no use.

"Kanishka, just calm down." Anushka said.

"Yeah. Rohit, Virat, they're all giving us updates. Don't worry."

"Bhabhi, I know you guys want that I stay here. But I can't when my Shrey-" Kanishka stopped, before continuing. "I mean I can't stay here knowing that my best friends, support systems are in danger."

"Kanishka, you were injured badly, you can't go."

"Actually, she can." The doctor said.

"Her reports are way better, and the blood donated helped her get better."

Anushka did a facepalm, and Ritika sighed. Kanishka was not supposed to know about that.

"Doctor, who donated the blood?" She asked.

"Kanishka why does it matter? Your fine now, right?" Ritika said.

"Bhabhi, it does matter. I should thank whoever helped me."

Ritika's phone rang.

She passed it to Kanishka. Kanishka deserved to know the truth, because it was about her.

"Aadhya..."

"Kanishka, just stay calm, because we're fine. Shreyas is also fine."

"I'm coming there in 2 days, I'm not staying in this hospital!"

"No, Kanishka, ek baar baat sun toh lo..." Kashvi said. 

 "Kyu? Why can't I come there?"

"It's dangerous for you, and Karan's men will recognize you here," Kashvi replied. "And your safety is most important."

"And your guys' safety? Woh important nahi hai?"

"Kanishka, your not understanding!"

"The only thing I can understand right now is that you guys being there is also a danger! And I'm coming there!"

"Kanishka what will you do by coming here? You need to rest!" Kashvi said, and Ritika added, "Exactly, Kanishka. Otherwise how will you be able to create an amazing new dance choreography?"

"Your right, but..." 

For Kanishka, dance was life. But her friends were too.

"Yeah rest is important, but so are you all. I will be there by next Friday." 

"Kanishka-" Anisha was cut off, "And Shreyas ko pata nahi chal na chahiye. Otherwise like you guys, he will not let me come there."

"Then we will definitely tell him!" Anisha replied.

"You guys will tell me what?" Shreyas appeared behind them. "Hi, Kanishka." He added when he saw they were on a call with her. 

Just a few more days, control your emotions, Shrey. Otherwise you won't be able to focus. - Shreyas thought to himself.

"Hi, Shreyas." Kanishka replied.

"Shreyas, aap....you talk to her, we'll just come." Kashvi said, handing him the phone and they left.

Rather, they were still there, even though they couldn't be seen.

"Aap, theek ho?" Shreyas asked.

"Yeah, and you?" 

Both of them were trying hard not to make it awkward.

"I'm fine as well. I'll come to see you, soon."

If I don't die or land in jail. He thought to himself.

"I'm going to get discharged soon, so you can just come home instead of the hospital."

You can leave all of this revenge rubbish and come back home, Shrey. She thought.

"Virat Bhai is calling me, I'll speak to you later." He said and ended the call.

I'm sorry, Kanishka. He thought to himself. But you can't know anything.
