Virat took out his purse to pay his taxi fare. He was looking for the change.

"Here" Mohit runningly came out of the house and paid for him. "Keep the change" he said to the driver while pulling Virat to the side

"Mohit?!! Kya kar raha hai? Why everyone is pulling me today?" Virat said, struggling to maintain his balance

"Saving you from sleepless night! Listen to me very carefully my Aai has set up punchayat for you. And Trimurti of our house are waiting for you like hungry eagles to rip you off with their illogical questions" Mohit whisperingly said. He sounded like an old gatekeeper of a haunted house warning the visitors not to enter the house.

"What have I done now?" Virat recalled

"Sai called in the afternoon asking about your whereabouts. And out of all my Aai picked up and you how our family loves to make mountain out of a molehill. Now they were all making all types of theories about you" he explained

Virat was confused how he should exactly feel at the moment. On one side he felt sudden gust of adrenaline thinking how much worried she was for him while on the other he was imagining the upcoming trial of him in the courts of Chavans. The happiness of earlier one overtook the later.

"It was just a normal phone call" he claimed

"Can you really explain that to our Trimurti? There is no 'just normal' in our house" Mohit said.

"What options do we have other than answering. Let's go in" Virat said

"Wait!!!! They have been interrogating me. Our answers need to match" he pulled him back

"What stories you have made now?" Virat asked

"I told them it was Sai and she might have called you because you are helping you with pension related formalities" he explained

"But why do we have to lie when I haven't done anything wrong" Virat complained

"I know dada! But it was for your Sai only. If Kaku came to know that you were with her. You know very well they won't even wait for a day and barge into her house and start their interrogations. So just go with my plan for now" he convinced. Virat nodded in approval. That 'your Sai' was enough for him to accept anything Mohit would ask him to do at the moment.

"Good. I am going first, you come after two three minutes. And act normal. If needed just fake anger and leave to your room" Mohit instructed and went in

Virat took a deep breath, made up his mind to take a bullets of questions. He entered the hall. They all were looking at him upside down with their ghostly appearances except for Shivani and Ashwini.

"Where are you coming from?" Ninad started

"I had some official work" Virat replied

"We called at the police station. They said you were off duty in the afternoon only." He cross questioned

"Why are you asking me like a teenager? I am old enough to go wherever I want" Virat agitated

"A girl called in the afternoon panickingly asking about you. We too were calling you since then" Bhawani interrupted

"My phone's battery died" He defended

"He might have gone to meet her, Vahini" Sonali buzzed

"Yes, I did" Virat loudly confessed

"Who is that girl? What's your relation?" Bhawani questioned

"There is nothing like you are thinking! That girl is only his guru's daughter. Haina Virat?" Ashwini advocated
