Tables will Turn

Part 10

In an unknown place

"Why do you hate Mahi?", asked Sakshi randomly as she felt this man is of not any harm as apart from that slap he didn't hurt her in these two days. 

The man turned his attention to her.

"Well, I actually hate yellow and he plays for CSK right, so that's the reason I hate the captain of Chennai Super Kings", replied the man sarcastically.

"You must be kidding. That sounds so silly", said Sakshi wondering whether he is someone who is mentally unstable.

"Listen Sakshi, I don't hate any of you...I just hate those days and those memories and the thought of your husband who I adored so much has not stood by me", said the man.

"You know what, even if Mahi would have not done all this, I would have left you without doing any harm", the man continued "I just wanted to see how far he could go for his loved ones...at least then I could be sure that I am not one amongst them", a lone tear escaped from his eyes which he hurriedly wiped it away.

Next morning, in Rohit's house 

"Anu, the police officer just called me to inform that the lawyer has come to talk to Arhan", said Rohit.

"Great, so who wants to follow him?", asked Ananya looking at the squad.

"I think Yuzi will be the right one because he is lean and short, it is easier for him to hide from the trial", suggested Rahul.

"Cool, so are you in Yuzi?", asked Bhuvi.

"Yes boss", replied Yuzi all excited.

"Keep your phone on so that we can track your location and come to your aid if you land yourself in trouble which I am pretty sure you would", mocked Rishi earning glares from Kuldeep.

"Take care Yuzi", started Ro and before he could complete Yuzi interrupted "I know Rohita, you are so worried about me, but don't worry I will be fine".

Ro raised his eyebrow and continued "Don't spoil the mission and now get going".

Arhan's lawyer went to meet Dolly as per Arhan's instructions, Yuzi followed him right from the police station as decided. And his location was being tracked in the BCCI headquarters. As they reached the city outskirts, Dada sent in a message to his men to surround the farmhouse and wait for his call. After what seemed like thirty minutes, they heard a shriek from inside while the men rushed into the farmhouse leaving Yuzi in a safe distance as ordered by Dada. In minutes, an ambulance arrived and a girl was sent to the nearby hospital. The lawyer was taken into custody for attempting to murder.

Dolly easily confessed as she has seen the true colors of Arhan and admitted that Arhan paid her to speak against Virat and has got all her pictures with Virat photoshopped. The lawyer too gave in at the stake of his profession and confessed that Arhan wanted to kill Dolly as Virat could never clear his name. Moreover, people would blame him for her death.  

"Thank God, Ek chapter tho close hogayi (One chapter is closed)", sighed Bumrah who is not at all liking this blame games.

"True from here on we will take care boys, it's time that you leave for NewZealand", said Dada not sure of whether it is the right time to speak about it or not.

Though they resisted initially but had to agree, being the players of a nation, they can't ignore national duty. 

In BCCI Headquarters,

Mahi was just staring at the picture of his team.

"I did everything I can to turn you against me but what can I do if you don't want to believe me. Till now there was no network here and I am sure my boys have got something to do with it. What did I do to earn so much love from you guys", tears rolled down his eyes and then he remembered the resemblance in the voice of that man who spoke with him on the phone. Mahi sat there working his brain.
