Chapter 22

Victory

“There was a saying that a man's true character was revealed in defeat. I thought it was also revealed in victory.” 

― Alison Goodman

"Piu just like you took your start step on the last lap of the rink race repeat the same as I taught you after the turn" Irfan sir explained Piu clarifying Shruti's doubts about the weird step that Piu took during the rink race that took her to the victory in team race.

Shruti couldn’t help but yelp in distress as the skates were missing, Piu wouldn’t be able to race, keep the secret strategy in check.

''''''''''

David sir volunteered to come along Shruti to look for the skates and Govind agreed to it shocking Shruti that he agreed about it inspite of the pic that had created havoc in their lives.

Shruti felt relaxed at the moment that whatever they'd been through but Govind trusted her.

Govind was supposed to company Piu who was also panicking inside that she'd lost her skates just before the race.

Sabu sir couldn’t leave the venue as he was answerable and responsible for other skaters. Irfan sir had to leave at the far stretching turn almost one and half kilometer away.

I'll check in sir's room. You check yours" David sir suggested and Shruti followed.

After checking almost all the rooms when the bag was no-where to be found, Shruti tend to go to the receptionist.

"Sir please help me. My daughter has a match." She rambled with her words.

"Relax ma'am" Max from the reception counter said as he gestured the staff to get a glass of water for her.

Avoiding the gratitude part Shruti focused on the problem in hand "Sir it's a pink and blue bag with a Barbie picture on it and it went missing since morning."

The receptionist thought for a while probably calculating something in his head but finally gave in as he bent to lift something from down "Are you looking for this?"

Shruti wouldn’t have ever felt better and relieved that she was feeling now as she hugged the bag as if it were her pet Lebanese that she loved from her mother's house.

"David sir was a bit rational as he enquired "How did you get it?" he'd sensed a rat.

"Well one of the blue eyed coach in white tracksuit told me to keep it with us and return only if he asked me to and to nobody else."Max answered sincerely.

"Amit sir." Shruti mumbled but kept quiet happy that she finally had the bag.

"Shruti where are you. They have already called for the race for under 6." Govind spoke from the other end of his phone.

"Govind I am on my way but still it will take 10 minutes." Shruti answered in a  worried tone.

"So you got the bag?" Govind enquired relaxed.

"Yes" shruti answered.

"where was it?" Govind couldn’t help but ask. Though he'd arrange for another pair of skates from a peer player but everybody knew it goes difficult to skate in a new pair of skates, speeding takes a long way.

"Long story" Shruti sighed "I'll explain later'

Sabu sir and Amit sir already had an argument in the morning, Shruti did not want to aggravate the situation so thought to suppress the matter till the race was done.
