A Tale of Trust - A DevAkshi & SamAina FF

Chapter 27 - How he broke?

Happy Reading

Nisha opened her laptop and sat yawning in front of it. Her day was boring because of Sonakshi's absence. She had two reports to study on her mail but all she could do was yawn.

"Aise toh kaam hi nahi khatam hoga." Nisha rubbed her eyes. "Kya karu? Kya karu?"

She kept on thinking over ideas which could send her sleep on a world tour and then suddenly she got it! She closed the G Mail window and opened the Google search bar.

Devrat Dixit

She typed and waited for the results to load. There were links of wikipedia, facebook, instagram and twitter. India Forums threads lay in front of her. Links to fanfictions and VMs were also on the page. She first stalked Dev's insta account. His bio read "Actor" nothing else. He hardly posted pictures, he barely tweeted or held #AskDev sessions. The last one he had was when he had waited at the hospital for her. The one before that was held in 2017.

She next went on to read what Wikipedia had to say about him. After a brief introduction of his name, it's meaning, his year of birth and nationality, the page was full of his work and awards he had received. It talked about his female fan following and him being one of the handful TV celebs with 1M+ followers on Instagram.

Nisha went back to the search results and was about to hit the back button and go back to work when she read the title of a link which opened at India Forums.

It read:

Devrat Dixit is a popular name in the Indian Television's history but what is interesting is the absence of any information about his past, about his life before becoming the known face he is today. None of his social media accounts have any mention of his parents or where he is from?

There is no day out or family visit of Dev with any news channel.

Why do you think it is so?

"Dev's an orphan. Sonakshi told me." Nisha said. "What's the point of hiding his background like this? Well there should be something about him on any web portal."

Nisha read the comments but got bored of the blind fangirling and aggressive supportive remarks to the one who dared to write this.

She searched Dev's parents and Dev's hometown but only met with similar theories about him. Youtube was filled with videos about this theory. The edits, the uploaders had used were cringe worthy but still the fact that Devrat Dixit's past had no mention of it on the world wide web made her suspicious.

Sonakshi had joined work on the sets. The show had been damaged beyond repair but she had to do something. She was too busy watching the episodes, reading the scripts, discussing various ideas with her team that she lost track of time.

Sonakshi was the one who had bound the team together. Without her the oldies had had a fall out with Nikki and Sourabh. She was having a tough time in making the team work with each other in harmony.

Oblivious to all the problems Sonakshi had been facing, Dev was standing outside the canteen at the same time when they used to meet earlier.

"Pehle toh khud mere peeche peeche ghumti thi, mujhse pehle yaha khadi hoti thi. Aaj madam ka koi naam aur nishan hi nahi hai." Dev said.

He went inside the canteen, ordered his regular coffee and sandwiches. He took small bites so that he could waste as much time as he could. Why was Sonakshi not getting out of her damned cabin?

"Shot ke liye bula lenge Sona." Dev muttered.

*play the video*

He rested his head on the wall behind him and stared at the ceiling. The wall was shared between the canteen and the writer's cabin. After getting exhausted Sonakshi touched her head with the wall behind. The day was so tiring!
