**The Next Day**

Virat and Jeevan sit at a corner table in a London café, with a clear view of the London Bridge from the window. Virat, looking handsome in a cap, a white shirt, and black pants, is absorbed in his phone.

"I can't believe my baby brother is in a serious relationship." Virat says, glancing at rumors about Shubman and Zasha.

"Coming from someone who lost his virginity at 16." Jeevan smirks.

"We were in love." Virat shoots back.

"That's why she left you..." Jeevan pauses when Virat glares at him. "But do you know another rumour.?"

"Don't tell me Mom is pregnant. I can't handle another sibling." Virat laughs.

"No, it's about Rahul." Jeevan replies.

"Another breakup? I know his social service very well." Virat rolls his eyes.

"But how long will he keep fake dating girls just to boost their careers? One of them hits the big time and doesn't even acknowledge him." Jeevan says.

"It's his life. I'll try to give him advice when I get back." Virat replies.

Jeevan looks at Virat, grinning. "You? Giving life advice? That won't suit you..."

At that moment, the waiter approaches. "Sir, can I take your order.?"

Jeevan checks his watch. "We're waiting for someone. Just a few more minutes, please." The waiter leaves.

"Who are we waiting for.?" Virat asks, as Anushka enters, wearing a sleeveless white top and gray shorts, a bandage on her right hand. She scans the café until she spots Jeevan, she approaches him

"Hi, bhai..." she greets, and as Jeevan looks up, she smiles at him. Virat notices her too.

"Hey." Jeevan says, then notices the bandage. "What happened to your hand?"

"Long story short, I fell in my apartment while looking at your message. Just a small injury-I'm fine, don't worry." She sits down, facing Jeevan, with Virat across from her.

"You're always like this," Jeevan teases.

"Always smiling and chilling."Anushka flashes a victory sign and turns to Virat. "Hey, hi! How are you?" , with a bright smile.

"I'm fine." Virat replies, still focused on his phone.

Jeevan thinks, "You made my job easier, Anu, with your injury."

Anushka murmurs, "The elder grumpy Kulkarni. At least the middle grumpy smiles sometimes, but this one looks like he just fought a war."

"Can we order, waiter?,after that you will video call to the family Virat." Jeevan calls out. After ordering, Virat removes his cap, revealing bruises on his face.

"What the hell happened to your face? If you video call like this, your Mom will panic!" Anushka exclaims.

"For once, you make sense." Virat replies as the waiter arrives with juice.

"I always talk sense, unlike you." Anushka shoots back, sipping her juice.

"Jeevan, she has a point." Virat concedes, looking at his friend.

Jeevan smiles sheepishly, then Virat says, "Looks like you have a plan."

"Yes, I do..." Jeevan grins at Anushka.

"No, no, don't include me in your stupid plans." Anushka protests.

"Just say you were together and had an accident. It's not that hard." Jeevan insists.

"That's wrong." Virat interjects.

"Then what will you say? That you were in a pity boxing match for a cheap amount.?" Jeevan retorts.

"I'd be dead if my family found out, and I don't want to extend my punishment." Virat says, both he and Jeevan looking at Anushka.

"Fine, I'll do it. But what do I get out of this?" Anushka raises her eyebrows.

"What do you want.?" Virat asks.

"I want to choreograph the dance number in the next film of superstar Rv." Anushka smiles.

"I'll talk to Rahul and see what I can do." Virat says.

"You agreed without any tantrums? Wow, that's a first in 20 years." Anushka remarks.

"Time changes everything." Virat replies, opening his laptop to connect for a video call. As he focuses on that, Jeevan notices a familiar face entering the cafe, sits few seats away from them.

"What timing." Jeevan thinks, nudging Anushka. "Sit near him."

Anushka complies, ready to jump in if needed. The video call starts with only Savi, Rahul, and Shubman attending.

"Hello, Virat bhai! How are you? I missed you so much; I have a lot to share!" Shubman says, noticing the bruises on Virat's face.

"Me too, kiddo. I'll meet you soon." Virat says, looking at his mom. "Mom, where's Dad?"

"Dad's in a meeting, he wanted to join, but he is busy." Rahul replies.

"Virat, are you okay? Your face looks bad. Did you fight again?" Savi asks, concern etched on her face.

"Hey, Mom. I'm fine. Just had a little accident a couple of days ago. Nothing major." Virat replies hesitantly.

"It looks pretty bad. Are you okay, bro?" Rahul asks.

"How did it happen?" Shubman inquires.

Virat struggles to find words. "It was just... an accident. Nothing major."

"Don't lie, Virat. Tell the truth." Savi warns.

Anushka jumps in. "Hi, Auntie!"

"Anushka? What are you doing there.?" Savi asks, surprised.

"Actually, Auntie, Virat and I were out together when the accident happened. We had a situation, but it's nothing serious. We went to get it checked, and he's fine. Look at me-I'm hurt too." Anushka says confidently showing her wounded hand.

Savi sighs in relief. "Oh, Anushka! Thank you for looking after him. I was worried."

"When and why did you two meet.?" Rahul asks suspiciously.

"Rahul, my friend, I was doing a dance tour, right?. After my last performance, we were riding a bike on the highway when someone else rode recklessly and caused an accident." Anushka lies smoothly.

"Looks like you both are spending quality time in London," Shubman teases.

"Yeah, we've met quite a few times here." Virat says, lying, while Anushka looks at him in surprise.

"Really?" Rahul asks.

"Yeah, we've had a good time together. Don't worry we are fine now," Anushka adds.

"Take care of yourselves, and Virat, come home soon. We miss you a lot," Savi smiles.

"Can't wait to meet you all. I'll come soon." Virat says, lowering the laptop screen.

"Well, that went well. Thank me for handling that." Anushka says.

"I really appreciate it. I couldn't have done it without you." Virat smiles.

Jeevan notices a familiar face leaving the café. "I hope everything goes as planned"  he thinks, then looks at Anushka. "Do you have extra rooms in your apartment.?"

"Yes, why?" Anushka asks.

"Virat and I can stay there tonight if you're okay with it." Jeevan says.

"Absolutely! I'm more than okay." Anushka replies with a smile.

"Then let's hit a London pub before heading to your place. How does that sound.?" Jeevan asks.

"Sounds good to me." Virat agrees.

"Great plan!" Anushka says. Jeevan takes a selfie of them, and they enjoy their time at the pub.

On their way to Anushka's apartment, Virat and Anushka walk ahead while Jeevan trails a few steps behind. As they walk, Jeevan notices something near a tree a few meters away but doesn't think much of it.

Anushka suddenly slips. "Oh, shit..." she exclaims, about to fall, but Virat catches her hand. "Be careful, young lady." he says with a smile.

"Thank you!" Anushka grins, and the three of them continue to Anushka's home, where they all fall asleep that night.

The next morning, Anushka jolts awake by a series of notification sounds on her phone. She groggily checks her messages, flooded with messages in her message box. "What's going on?" she wonders, then her eyes fall on a shocking headline from a leading newspaper: "What the hell..." she exclaims, staring at the screen in disbelief.
