Chapter 2

Shravan Pov :

Well Scratch that when I said this was my worst day. It was horrible.

When I rubbed off my tiredness with warm water and was changed into comfy shorts and T-shirt, I received a mail informing me being fired from my company.

How sweet it is to be unemployed unless you include your Asian parents reaction.

My mom would freak out, dad would disown me and I'd be a beggar in streets If I don't find myself another job soon.

I went down with slumped shoulders to treat my poor stomach to dinner.

"Enda Shravan ivlo neram roomla enna panna? Ama vandiya engada? "(Hey Shravan what were you doing for so long in your room? And yeah where is your bike?) My mom asked as I sat at the dining table.

"Madan veetla Iruku maa. Naalaiku vandiya kudukarenu sonnan"(It is Madan house mom. He promised to return it tomorrow) I quickly made up a lie to avoid spilling the truth and blamed it on my best friend.

I didn't want mom or dad knowing about my small trip to police station or how I was accused.

"Seri sapda enna ma iruku?"
(What is there to eat mom?)

"Suda upma iruku pa "(There is hot upma for you.) *Upma is a south Indian dish*

"Whattttttt " I sighed seeing as how sad fate is to have upma on an already sad day.

Anyhow with the glare mom passed me, I shut my mouth and just ate some upma and ran upstairs .

Dad works as a salesman so he would be home late always. I went up and called Madan to share my sob story.

"Hey ennada "(Hey what) he shouted on top of the blasting background music.

He always like partying and dancing.
"Nothing da just got fired today"
I said making him gasp and he seemed to move away from the party as the sounds got feeble.

"seri kavalapada ethavatu paatukala. (it's okay don't worry.  We'll figure something out)  Now I'll text you the address come to the party and let's forget our worries" he said and hang the call quicker than light.

This was Madan crazy ,party minded and supportive friend.

I got dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans as I quickly shouted from my room to mom that I'm staying over at Madan's house.

When I got down,  dad was there looking quite tired.

"Appa Madan veetuku poren"(Dad I'm going over to Madan's house) I said in a quiet voice.

"Seri pa.  Paatuko. Naalaiku office iruku athanal romba neram mulichitu irukata. "(OK. Take care.  Don't be awake for long since you have work tomorrow.)  he said hitting my guilt nerves at spot.

I need a job not just in fear of them getting dissapointed over me but also to pay for my family's expenses and parents medical expenses.

Sighing I went out and took a cab to destined location.

Ear blasting music,  crazy dancers and thick scent of perfumes and drinks welcomed to the club. 

Among those my crackhead friend was moving his head to the beat like he missed a screw that held his neck intact.

Upon seeing me, he came over and we both sat at a corner seat where music was not too loud. We don't have the habit of alcoholic drinks. So we settled for some lemon juice.

"So Shravan what happened? " he asked taking a sip of the juice.

I felt my heart lighten from ranting to my friend about my day and badmouthing my boss.  It sends an odd satisfaction to my heart.

"How did they let you out if they had a complaint on you? " he asked. I too thought about it but never got a good reason for it.  I just feel grateful to heavens that I was not put behind the bars for something I didn't commit.

"Don't know. You should ask that crazily attractive AC about that" I said as I took some chips from the table.

He chuckled and we sat there in comfortable silence for a minute or two before Madan started babbling about a girl he saw days ago.

I couldn't focus and ended up spacing out a lot in between.

Until my gaze struck those eyes.

And an annoying smirk that only he puts on.

Assistant Commissioner of  Police Mr. Rudra Deep
