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.

"Maybe more than you", replied Sakshi with a bright smile.

"I want to talk to him once", said Anushka looking at Sakshi with puppy eyes.

In BCCI headquarters

"Sanjay, I don't think all this is necessary. Let's just submit the proofs in the court and the rest I will take care of", said Dada not wanting Mahi to face this idiot.

"Sorry Sourav, this is needed. I need to speak with the culprit before coming into conclusions. Please let us do our work", said Sanjay and went inside the room where Mahi bhai is waiting.

"Hi Dhoni, it's nice to see you", greeted Sanjay Manjerkar extending his hand for a shake which Dhoni ignored royally and said: "well this time it's not the same from my side", smiled Mahi bhai.

"Oh my where is this audacity coming from, I think you got this attitude from your junior or like he said partner in crime, Virat. Let me remind you, you are here because you have been proved guilty in match-fixing".

"Why should I be scared when I haven't done anything wrong? By the way, may I know what all proofs you have got against me?", asked Mahi maintaining his composure.

"Ah that I have submitted to the concerned authorities. You don't worry about that".

"What do you want to know from me?", asked Mahi.

"To say frankly, I am here to make few negotiations. If you support us in defaming Virat, then you would be free from all these. This is off the record and no one will know about it. Not even the BCCI president", put in Sanjay.

"Is it all you have got to say. Can I leave?", asked Mahi showing no emotion on his face.

"I know you won't agree so easily. What if I say your wife's life would be in danger if you don't agree with this. She is in Paris right?", Sanjay threatened Mahi for which Mahi just got up and left the room.

In My House

"Mam, I have checked everywhere. There is nothing to worry", said Aman putting away the detector. 

"Cool", saying which I went to the study table, took the paperweight and went near the staircase. On the wall beside the staircase, there is a calendar high above the ground. I removed it and placed the paperweight on the nail and turned it. There occurred a clearing and I went in closing the door with a knob inside. 

"I never thought Harry's idiotic idea would come of use one day", I said walking into the wide room which is full of all the luxuries starting from a play station to all the indoor games. This room is designed as per Hardik's wish as he wanted a secret room which has two similar entrances. One from the house and the other from the backyard. This room is well hidden because one cannot find any trace on the wall regarding the opening.

"I must appreciate your presence of mind. If you would have not whispered it to me while I was leaving, I wouldn't have remembered about this place", said Virat.

"Come on Cheeku, how will I let you go alone that too in this situation?"

He smiled but it did not reach his eyes, "By the way why did you take my mobile?"

"I expected that one or the other day they would track your mobile so if it is in the hall, I could just show the CCTV footage and say that you left in a hurry and forgot your mobile here itself. Though that's what has happened, I actually feel it is better for us if the mobile is with the police, at least no more misunderstandings would be created using your name", I reasoned out my thoughts.

"Hmm", he nodded in agreement.

"In all this, I forgot to inform Ro and Bhuvi, they have been calling since long", saying which I dialed Ro's number and made a video call which they answered almost immediately.

"What's happening Anu? Where is Virat?", came in Ro's worried voice.

"Relax Ro, I am here", added Virat smiling properly after what seemed like ages.

"Thank God, you are fine. You don't know how worried we were", said Bhuvi and we could see the entire team standing behind Ro and Bhuvi eagerly looking into the mobile to make sure that their beloved captain is fit and fine.

"Wow, what a coincidence, Mahi bhai, and Sakshi bhabhi are calling at the same time. Let me connect four of us in a video conference", I said.

---------------------------------------------------
I tried to put them in one frame but I know I failed in doing so but looking at their cute faces, please forgive me.

If you are not liking the plot and want to suggest some changes or how you want the story to proceed, please let me know, I am all ears☺

Thank you.
