Tables will Turn

Part 5

In Mumbai

Rohit is having a tough time attending to all the kids of the team as the latest news regarding match-fixing hit them like a blow. Everyone is extremely worried and had gathered in Rohit's home to be with each other.

"I want to meet Virat bhai", said Kuldeep rubbing his tears.

"You know that Mahi bhai restricted us from doing that, right?", said Jaddu.

"Where is Mahi bhai and why is he not answering our calls?", asked Hardik dialing Mahi bhai's number nth time.

They were all following every single news without fail as that is their only source of information as Mahi bhai and Virat are not answering their calls. The latest news read "Virat Kohli is missing. Today evening when the police tracked him down to Hyderabad, he was last seen in his sister Ananya's house but he left from there too. Through the CCTV footage at Ananya's house, they confirmed that Virat has left the place in a hurry leaving his mobile phone at her house. So, now we all have to wait and see how the police will find him out". 

"What the hell?", shouted Ro "where could he be now?"

"Let's call him", said Yuzi not knowing what to do.

"No call Anu, the news report says that he left his phone at her place", said Jassi.

"I have been calling her but she is not answering", put in Bhuvi.

In Paris

Sakshi took a cab from the airport to the place where Anushka's shoot was taking place. All through the journey, she was looking back to make sure that no one was following behind. Finally, after an hour, she reached the place and hurried her steps to the set. As she went further, she saw Anushka's manager and as he is the only one who knew that she was coming, took her to Anushka who was just sitting infront of the mirror like a lifeless body.

"Sakshi", said Anushka being shocked to see her there. Nevertheless, she hugged her immediately with tears in her eyes. Understanding the situation, the makeup artist left them alone. Sakshi tried to console her by rubbing her back.

Slowly, she made Anushka sit and gave her some water to drink. 

"I don't know what to do, I just can't imagine my life without him. Every minute, every single thing reminds me of him. I don't want to come back to Mumbai, that is the reason I didn't cancel my shooting", Anushka said wiping her tears making way for the new ones.

"Aww, my cutie-pie, stop crying. Virat is all yours. He is never going to leave you", said Sakshi slightly pulling her cheeks trying to cheer her up.

"But he himself called me and said that", before she could continue Sakshi interrupted her.

"Such things are better resolved when spoken face to face. And we have to leave from here very carefully. I somehow feel someone is watching us", said Sakshi.

"I don't want to face him", said Anushka stubbornly.

"Listen dear, there is someone plotting against you. I don't know who is doing it or why they are doing it but I am sure that all this is a big conspiracy. When I was at the airport in Mumbai, Mahi called me and said to send away Rithika as he suspects someone would be following us and he didn't want her to get hurt. If I would say that to her, she wouldn't have left so I had to shout on her. Poor girl, hope she didn't take it to heart. Anyways, now we have to think a way to go to Mumbai without being seen", said Sakshi trying to be as optimistic as possible so that she wouldn't scare Anushka.

"But what does anyone get separating us?", asked Anushka for which Sakshi shrugged her shoulders. After a few minutes of silence,

"That means, he loves me as much as I do", asked Anushka innocently.
