"Who?"

"Who is here Akira?"

Akira suddenly turned and realized that Vikram was next to her and that she had to be very careful with what she spoke. So she tried to steer the conversation somewhere else, even though her mind was still troubled after seeing Oshana upstairs.

"Erm... nothing. One of the waitresses looked totally like one of a sophomore friend of mine."

"We can go upstairs and check."

Vikram said as he could see that Akira's eyes were again fixated on someone upstairs.

"Ah, no need. We were not that close."

Saying that Akira smiled and then said,

"I need something to drink. I am too thirsty."

"Ok then, come let's get seated then."

Saying that Vikram took Akira's hand and escorted her upstairs into the seating area.

With every step that she took on the stairs, the number of eyes that were admiring her beauty increased in manifolds. Her body moved like poetry, like a paper boat sailing in the rainwater, which brings nothing but joy to the eyes of the beholder.

All the attention was unwanted, but somehow looking at all the people who were admiring her, made Vikram gloat from the inside, as she was with him. His face was all smug like he wanted to shout out at them,

"Watch out losers."

But she was completely deaf and blind to what was happening around her. Her only concern was Dr. Oshana right now.

Even though Akira tried hard to calm her expression, the mere presence of Oshana was driving her crazy. Her head started to get filled with all sorts of negativity.

"Is there something going on?"

"Has Sebastian planned something to happen?"

And just when a nervous Akira took the final step to reach the seating area, she saw Dr. Nelson sitting on a couch with his gaze fixated on Dr. Oshana.

Seeing him at the party, she was taken aback, but she didn't want to go ahead and ask him about it. So she decided to plan something quickly.

She held her hand on her stomach and looked at Vikram and said,

"Ahh... I forgot to take my medicine Vikram. It is in my jacket. Can you please help to get it. My stomach has started to hurt."

Saying that she made an extremely pitiful expression.

"Ah let me get you seated somewhere first."

"That I will manage, tablet first Vikram."

Saying that Akira grabbed on to her belly tightly.

"Ok, don't worry hold tight."

Saying that Vikram rushed downstairs. Taking that window of opportunity, Akira started walking towards the area where Dr. Nelson was sitting and just when she was about to reach him, he turned.

He was looking in her direction all stunned like his jaws were about to be dropped.

She was looking extremely beautiful.

"Jaby !!!"

"Jaby !!!"

'What are you doing here? What is she doing here?"

"Jaby !!!"

Saying that finally, Akira poked on Dr. Nelson's shoulder a bit.

"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't mean to stare at you like that. I mean you look ... Ermm... I am sorry."

Dr. Nelson apologized vehemently for gawking at her all unfazed. He didn't know why he did that, but somehow he wasn't able to take his eyes off her. She was constantly reminding him of the days when his wife used to dress up for him for all the medical seminar after parties.

He hung his head low, but his mind was still recollecting every image of Alita, frame after frame.

Akira was for a moment got annoyed as she was not getting any answer from him. But then she could see that his eyes were getting all misty.

So she placed her hand on his shoulder and said,

"What is Jaby? Are you guys in any trouble becasue of us? Please tell me what is going on for God's sake !!!"
