     Akshara came to her flat with little sad and disheartened Aryan. She carefully made him lie on the bed.

    " Give this card to me, I will keep it somewhere." She asked that card from him which Abhimanyu gave to him as she didn't want him to contact Abhimanyu.

   " Wait a minute" Aryan said and took out a diary from bed side drawer.

    It was the diary where Akshara used to write all the important contact numbers as a precautionary measure in case of some emergency. She had instructed him to do it as well. She wrote down the numbers mentioned in the card in the diary. Last time, he couldn't do it as he couldn't tell Akshara about that and lost the card too. This time, he didn't want to take the risk and since Abhimanyu gave that card in front of Akshara, so it was not a secret to hide. Akshara helplessly saw him doing that. She never thought that one day, her own teachings will go against her.

   " Aryan, don't call him unnecessarily, ok? He is very busy person and I told you that we should not bother someone without any reason, right?" Akshara tried to do the damage control but she forgot that her son was way too smart than her likings.

   " Do you know him?" Aryan asked directly.

   Akshara became blank after his question and her face lost all the colours and she slowly nodded her head with a forlorn expressions in her eyes.

   " How do you know him?" Aryan instantly asked back.

   Akshara got startled for a second and her trance got broken. Now what she was supposed to answer? She tried to do the damage control.

   " Actually, you know, we work for different people right? He is our client.
His team will play in next league matches and we will handle their management. That's it, nothing major. Now, enough of this, lie down and close your eyes. I am going to bring something to eat then you will have to take medicines too. It's already quite late" She said in stern voice to change the topic.

   Aryan didn't protest and silently lied down on the bed as he was tired and injured too. After that, Akshara went to kitchen to quickly make something for him. She made him eat dinner and take medicines. She didn't eat anything herself and they slept.

   On other side, Sam was constantly calling Abhimanyu to know where he was as it was past 12 in the night. He just had a brief information that a child got injured on the road and he took the child to hospital. After that, they didn't talk and now his phone was switched off.

   " What's wrong with this man? Now where should I find him? I even called to hospital to get any information but that child already got discharged then where he is till now? I don't even know where should I go and search him as Mumbai is quite new city for us and he doesn't even know anyone here." Then his mind reminded him about Akshara.

   " Damn, football was not enough and he met his ex too. My intuition was right that this is disaster. I should have stopped him from agreeing to start this all over again.I don't know what exactly happened between them but one thing is sure that it was nasty seeing the condition he was in after that when I met him. God only knows what will happen this time? and the worst part is, I can't do anything. Should I try to contact Akshara to get any clue?" Sam thought about it and at that moment, door got opened and Abhimanyu entered inside.

   " Where were you? Where is your phone? I know, you are not a child but atleast you should have let me know that you will come late then I would not have breaking my mind here." Sam scolded him for his carelessness.

   Abhimanyu didn't say anything and just entered inside. Sam looked at him and got alarmed.

  " Wait..are you drunk? What the hell is this? Have you forgotten, what doctors said regarding this? It's dangerous for you, for god sake.With so much difficulty,
you had quit drinking. How can you do such stupidity again? Abhimanyu, don't behave like a loser, ok? You are not the only person on the earth, who got separated from his ex. So many people are living with this scenario and they have happily moved on then why you are still stuck in the past? Why you are hell bent on spoiling your life all over again?
When will you learn to give value to your own life and happiness?" Sam shouted with frustration.
