Harsh and Arjun are looking at Sonia for her reaction.

“Why are you both looking at me like that?” Sonia asked.

“Nothing, you went with Sara for shopping right.?” Arjun asked nervously.

“Yeah, I came here to bring my purse.” Sonia took her purse “Bye.” Sonia said and went from there.

“How can you hide this from me.?” Harsh asked.

“Even I came to know about this  a few months back.” Arjun said.

“But I clearly remember, Somya aunty died because of the fuel leakage in the car, the car caught fire because of that right, then how this?” Harsh again looked at the video and again watched the video again “Arjun, someone is trying to make money from you, I think, this video is only half, he didn’t send full video, come let’s go to that place.” Harsh said.

“Nothing gonna happen, I went to that place, and most of the buildings were reconstructed there, so getting footage of CCTV is impossible.” Arjun said.

“Then, what to do? I’m feeling there is something fishy. ” Harsh said.

“Even I also feel the same, but don’t worry I will find out the truth very soon, you go and play ICL.” Arjun said.

“Ok, do send the updates of the case regularly.” Harsh said.

“Sure.” Arjun said.

They chatted until Sara and Sonia came back from their shopping, Sara and Arjun said bye to Sonia and Harsh and went from there.

Harsh with Sonia joined the Bangalore team.

After one and a half month

Bangalore team was performing extremely well under the captaincy of Harsh, they were in first place in the points table and even though Harsh was playing well, he was in third place in leading run-getters in the tournament.

But here Ansh's case is different from Harsh's, even though his team was performing well in the tournament but his personal performance was not good, in a few matched he got out for single digits and in a few matches even though he scored double-digit but he used to get out before scoring 20runs, he couldn’t able to understand what was happening with his game, he was mentally and physically exhausted. His team was fourth in the points table.

Harsh was talking on the phone with Arjun.

“Did you get any clue.?” Harsh asked Arjun over the phone.

“No, I’m still trying.” Arjun said.

“Still, how many days Arjun? please do it faster man.” Harsh said.

“I’m trying very hard Harsh, I’m gonna find that evidence before finals, maybe on your birthday which is a day before your birthday.” Arjun said.

“Ok,” Harsh said.

“Talk with Ansh na, he is going through a lean phase, he needs you.” Arjun said.

“I tried to call him, but I don’t have the guts to call him, I hurted him badly.” Harsh said and someone rang the bell of his room.

Arjun was about to say to but Harsh stopped him “Listen I have to go, I will call you afterwards.” Harsh cut the call and opened the door, it was Sonia.

“Shopping over?” Harsh closed the car.

“No, they didn’t have stock of the clothes which I want, they are saying that stock will come next week.” Sonia sat on the sofa.

“Every week they are saying something, just change the boutique.” Harsh said.

“Hello, they have quality clothes at a low price.” Sonia said.

“Ok, Did you talk with Ansh?” Harsh asked.

“He is fine, Dad needs to stop pressuring him to play.” Sonia said.

“Oh….. Do you plan anything for my birthday after three weeks.?” Harsh asked.

“Not yet, but I will plan.” Sonia smiled.

Meanwhile in another hotel.

Ansh was going in a lift to his floor and he saw his phone, 12 missed calls from his dad's number, he stopped talking with his dad as he unnecessarily pressures him to play, he came out of the lift and went towards his room.

“Ansh..” He heard a voice, so he stopped and turned towards the voice and saw, a girl was coming toward him.

“Hi, I’m a big fan of you, can I take a selfie with you.?” That girl asked.

“Sure” Ansh posed for a selfie with her.

“Thank you, between I’m Nivya Kapoor, daughter of actor and co-owner of this team Rajiv Kapoor and also a distant cousin of Mahima…..” She started talking non-stop, Ansh was irritated by her words, so he went from there.

“Anyways, I’m gonna debut very soon in films, how are you Mr....”Nivya turned towards Ansh's side but he was already gone inside his room.

“What the hell?, he showing attitude to me, too much of attitude is not good for you Mr, but it’s ok you are forgiven.” Nivya smiled and went from there.

After three weeks.

Both Bangalore and Mumbai teams are playing in the finals and staying in the same hotel. Just a few hours before Harsh's birthday, there was a party going on in the hotel for the Bangalore team as the team reached the finals.

Bangalore team coach signalled Sonia to come out as he wanted to talk with her, but as usual, Sonia ignored him and joined the party.

Sonia sat near the bar counter and kept her hands on her head.

“What happened?” Harsh asked.

“Head is spinning.” Sonia said.

“That’s why I told you not to drink too much wine.” Harsh scolded.

“I haven’t drunk.” Sonia pouted.

“Stop giving that look, and sit here until you feel ok.” Harsh said and joined his teammates in games and he got busy playing games.

Time:10:45pm

Sonia forgot her phone in the room, she informed Harsh and went out of the party bring her phone, Coach went behind her.

Sonia was going towards her room but the coach dragged her to his room.

“Uncle, what are you doing?” Sonia screamed.

“What am I? what the hell are you doing? why do you block all of my numbers?” Coach Viren asked furiously standing near the sofa, his back facing the room door.

“You only told me that no contact after everything.” Sonia stood behind him.

“Yeah, but I didn’t tell you the date Harsh, I just told…”

Sonia cut off Viren's words “That’s my choice, I feel safe with him, is it wrong to date him.?” Sonia questioned.

“No, but I told you to just be with him and guide him against the bad things happening against him, I didn’t tell you to involve with him romantically.” Viren said.

“I know but I couldn’t stop myself falling for him, he has everything that a girl wants in a man.” Sonia said.

“I can understand you Sonia, but what happens if Harsh learns everything that happened from the third person.” Viren asked.

“No, I don’t want that to happen, I don’t want him to break up with me.” Sonia said.

“Then go and tell him everything before the third person tells him.” Viren said.

“No I can’t,” Sonia said in a crying voice.

“Why?” Viren questioned.

“How?, How will I tell him?, that my father my own father, whom Harsh believes more than anything, that man conspired against him with Mahima and Vishaka to bring him and his game down, just to make Ansh captain in all three formats of the Indian cricket team and I went to him to save him from my dad's wrongdoing….” Sonia said in a crying voice.

“What the fuck.?” they heard a sound from behind, Viren and Sonia turned and saw Harsh was standing near the door and he was fuming in anger………
