"Who are you?", asked Anushka trying to be brave and not moving from Sakshi's side.

"Haww, you forgot me so easily", replied the man coming nearer, "celebrities like you hardly remember common men like me. I am Arhan Singh madam, the victim of the video posted by your dear husband on the social media where you were ranting at me for throwing out a small plastic cover...kuch yad aya", replied the man sitting in front of Anushka.

"That was...that was two years back", said Anushka remembering the day in Mumbai when she saw someone throw a plastic cover through their car's window onto the road and she scolded him. 

"Since then I was waiting for a chance to destroy you and your husband's career because of which you had so much audacity to spoil my name by sharing it with millions of your followers who would believe you and follow you blindly", said Arhan in not so pleasing way.

"Listen Arhan, you did a mistake and I told you that. That's it. I or Virat didn't wish anything wrong for you. That was a very small issue", said Anushka not understanding why this man has taken it to heart.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All this is being heard by the players as Sakshi has not disconnected the call but they couldn't see anything as she held the phone facing down.

"I don't know what's taking the pilot so much time. I have called the chief security officer in Paris and he said they are almost there", said Dada to Mahi making sure that he wouldn't be heard through the call.

"I wish the girls could kill some more time like this", said Mahi hoping for good.

"That idiot Arhan has taken it too personally and I can't sit like this doing nothing", shouted Virat getting agitated while Ananya was too scared to try to calm him down, nevertheless she covered the phone's speaker. 

"Cheeku, even if we start now, it takes us more than 10 hours to reach that place. Unfortunately, we have no other option than wishing for police to reach there faster", said Ananya acting to be brave but in reality, her condition is worse than Virat to see her loved ones in so much pain.

Probably the little girl did understand that her aunts are in pain, Samaira started crying while Zoravar tried to make her smile with his cute antics. Ro and the team looked at the kids not understanding what to do with tears in their eyes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It might be a small thing for you but I and my mom had to face so much after that. Everywhere we went people used to make fun of us and for a month or so there was garbage all around our house thrown by some random people. Then I have decided that I wouldn't let you get away so easily after making our life hell and fortunately, my interest and knowledge on software has helped to plan all this and I found a scapegoat in the form of Sanjay Manjerkar who is ready to do anything to defame any player from the current Indian cricket team", he paused for a breath and continued "Look I have no interest in gaining publicity, I thought I would achieve what I wanted and leave silently but she (pointing towards Sakshi) and her husband came in between and as Sanjay predicted it before, we have planned for them too and sent in two bookies to involve Virat and Dhoni's name in Match-fixing so that they would be busy with their own problems. I don't know how but the proofs went missing forcing me to get into action" before he could continue, Anushka interrupted him.

"Arhan, I am apologizing for all that you had to suffer because of us. But you are not going to get anything doing all this", said Anushka not in a mood to argue anymore. At that time they heard footsteps coming towards them. Anushka and Sakshi looked up expecting it to be someone who could save them but in came a man wearing a black mask followed by two men who looked like his bodyguards.

Looking at them Arhan and his men got alerted but before they could react, he raised his hands showing that he is not there to attack and said: "Relax brother".

The masked man went near Sakshi and pulled her up while his bodyguards pushed struggling Anushka away. In this process, Sakshi's phone fell down breaking their connection with others.

"Leave me", struggled Sakshi to free herself from him but in vain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What happened? why can't we hear anything?", snapped Virat as soon as the call disconnected.

"I don't know", said Ananya looking as bewildered as everyone else was.

 "Mahi Bhai", came in Ro's voice.

"Guys, there seems to be some connectivity issue. Don't panic...I will see whether I could do something. Okay, everyone just stay where you are. I will call you back", saying which Mahi disconnected the call.

"Dada, keep calling the pilot and I will call the security chief...they are the only source we have", said Mahi for which Dada nodded with tension clearly visible on his face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Who are you?", asked Arhan being all confused and a bit scared of getting caught.

"That's none of your business. See, I have come here to take Mrs. Dhoni with me and I have nothing to do with Virat", saying which the mystery man started leaving while the bodyguards left Anushka with Arhan's men and followed him.

"Leave me", shouted Sakshi struggling to get away from his grip for which the man slapped her hard pulling her away with him and they left leaving the spectators all confused.

Arhan turned towards Anushka but to his dismay, they heard the siren of a police jeep and were about to run away but in no time they were surrounded by policemen with their guns pointing towards the men. Taking it as a chance Anushka escaped from their grip and came towards the police. Taking Arhan into custody, the policemen called Dada immediately saying that they have arrested the culprit. 

"Mam, the chopper is ready, please come", said one of the police men.

"Why don't you hear me, Sakshi is missing. We need to find her first", shouted Anushka as she was hell angry and hurt that no one was listening to her.

"But mam, we were instructed to take you to the chopper without any delay", said the policeman.

"Call Mahi bhai right now", shouted Anushka.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thank God, Mahi I will go and arrange a press meet to reveal everything and withdraw the suspension", saying which Dada left the room while Mahi was lost in his own thoughts.

"I hope everything is alright. Why is my heart beating so fast? I need to speak with Sakshi" before he could dial her number, he got a phone call confirming all his doubts.

"Hello", answered Mahi praying for God that what he is thinking should not happen.

"Mahi bhai", came in Anushka's shaky voice as she has been crying since God knows when.

"Anushka what happened? Why are you crying dear?", asked Mahi being concerned.

"Sakshi...Mahi bhai someone has taken away Sakshi...and I don't know what to do", stuttered Anushka but before she could complete, Mahi shouted: "what?"

Mahi sat down on the couch with a thud and tears started rolling down his eyes. Numerous thoughts consumed his mind but came back into the world hearing Anushka's voice.

Composing himself "Anushka, you first come back dear...I will do...I will see what can be done. Nothing will happen to her bacha, don't worry", said Mahi trying to sound confident.

"I am not going anywhere until we find Sakshi", said Anushka being stubborn.

"Try to understand dear, don't make things more complicated. Go to Anu's house, Virat is there", his tone was stern indicating that he didn't want to hear anything else. Having no other go, Anushka agreed and got into the chopper which was waiting for her.

Present(that is the continuation of the second chapter)

In Ananya's house when both Virat and Ananya were in the recreation area lost in their own thoughts, Ananya gets a call from Rohit.

"Ha Ro", I answered putting the call on speaker.

"Anu watch the news, Dada has called the press meet", his voice sounded cheerful and we both rushed to the hall.

In the press meet

Dada was present along with Sanjay Manjerkar and the two bookies. 

"Sorry for all this disturbance guys. I know that the last two days were very tough for Indian cricket. First of all, I want to tell you that you don't need to worry anymore as you are neither going to miss the helicopter nor the run machine. They are coming back as they have got nothing do with all this nonsense. Sanjay Manjerkar here has tried to frame Virat Kohli in the trophy missing case by creating fake evidence in the aid of a businessman named Arhan who is right now arrested by the police in Paris for his attempt to harm Anushka Sharma and Sakshi Dhoni. The same duo has sent these two bookies to put false allegations on Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After a thorough third-degree interrogation, all the three have accepted their crime and now we are waiting for the statement from Arhan. I would have taken Sanjay into custody long back but was waiting for the right time and now as we found the mastermind behind all this, I want to make few important declarations. One is, Virat and MS are back in the team for the upcoming NewZealand series. The other one is Sanjay Manjarkar is banished from all the things that involve the Indian cricket team which includes commentary. Look, guys, my only aim is to save all the viewers from his commentary...after all, you deserve better...don't you?", said Dada making everyone watching it laugh.
