Chapter 7

Rocky was at a meeting with Daya discussing the details about the mission. He found out that whoever he was hired to kill was a big shot. He was fascinated by the way Daya described this man. He feared to even say his name, and Rocky wanted people to feel that same fear when it came to him. 

Now he was really intrigued to meet this man. They were currently sitting under a tea shop when it began to heavily rain outside. The two men looked at the people running around trying to find shelter from the blazing rain. Daya glanced at his watch and stated 

"Well its getting late, I'm going to leave. I will inform you the further details tomorrow" 

And got up from his stool only to be stopped by Rocky. 

"Hand me your car keys" Rocky stated still drinking his steaming tea. 

Daya looked at him shocked. 

"If I give you my keys, them how will I get home" Daya asked. 

"That isn't my problem. Remember what Andrews said. Whatever I want I get. So hand me your keys" Rocky said glancing up at Daya. 

Daya looked at him and defeat then handed him the keys. 

"At least drop me home" Daya asked. 

Rocky whistled and the tea shop owner asked him what is wrong to which he replied 

"Get my brother a taxi. Bye" Rocky smirked and made his way to Daya's car.

He began driving through the now empty street looking around at the kids who were playing in the nearby park, soaking in the rain. He smiled as the kids reminded of the small kids back in Bombay. But then he recognised the sight of two women. 

Reena had the day of work today so instead of wasting it sulking at home she asked her dad if Vaishu and her can go to the nearby park. Her dad agreed after a bit of convincing and the two girls made there way to the park near her house. Reena sat on one of the benches, watching the kids laughing and smiling carefree. She smiled sadly as her thoughts went back to her childhood. 

When Reena was only 5 years old, her mother was shot dead in an attack that was meant for her father. The three of them were at the market when one of Desai's enemies shot her mother. Since then Desai had kept Reena under lockdown in her own house. She only ever left for college now work. Because of this she missed a large chunk of her childhood and it resulted in her finding comfort in books. 

The pages filled with endless words were able to ease her sorrows and transform her to a world were she was free. Her only ever friend was Vaishu who was more of her sister, the other people she hangs with are more of her acquaintances rather than friends.

 Reena's thoughts were broken as Vaishu lightly shook her shoulder. 

"Ree you good?" she asked her face tinged with worry.

 "Ya I'm fine. I was just thinking about something" she replied. 

"Don't worry. Your dad gave us permission to come so everything is cool" Vaishu said and dragged Reena to the swings. 

"Hey guys" a boy in his mid 20's called out to them.

 The two girls turned their heads and a huge smiled formed on their faces and Vaishu ran into the boys arms, engulfing him in a hug. The boy is called Varun. he is Vaishu and Reena's childhood friend. Varun was relatively close with the two girls and he saw Reena as his little sister. 

"Hey Varun" Reena replied lightly waving. 

He replied back with a smile. The three of them sat on the swings and were just chatting when it began to heavily rain. They looked up at the clouds that were now grey and dark, blocking out the rays of sunlight.
