My strange addiction | An Anbu fanfic

Ch - 5

Varsha's POV

                 The cigarette smell was prominent in the room and it was the first thing I noticed when I entered. But I am used to it so I didn't mind it. I placed the food on the teapoy and sat on the couch.

Anbu was still standing and staring at me. I looked at him. Motioned him to sit in the couch in front of mine. His gaze never left mine while he came and sat in the opposite couch.

" Unaku Sandhanam yaarunu theriyum la? " I asked ( You know who is Sandhanam right?)

He gave a small nod which I would have missed if I didn't pay attention to him.

" Kelvi paturuken" he said
( I've heard of him)

" Na avaroda thangachi. Enga saraku onnu kanama poiduchu. Athu enga irukunu almost kandupudichutom. Aana naduvula konjam prachana iruku. Athuku than Inga vandhen. " I said.
( I'm his sister. Our goods have gone missing. We almost found its whereabouts but there are some complications with it. That's why I came here)
I didn't say whole truths and neither did I lie.

"Help panna enna kadaikum?" He asked
( What will I get by helping you?)

" Enna venum?"
( What do you want?)

" A share" he answered.

We never broke the eye contact the whole time. Before I could open my mouth to reply I heard my phone ringing.

I took it out my pocket and leaned back on the sofa relaxing a bit due to the long travel. I attended the call and put the phone to my ear.

"Varsha enga iruka? " Anna said
( Varsha where are you?)

Nervousness and anxiousness was clearly visible in his tone. I've never heard him like this. Sweat broke out and I'm f*cking damn sure Anbu noticed the change in my tone and expressions. I quickly stood up and walked out of the house.

"  Safe tha.. enna aachu?" I asked
(I'm safe. What happened?)

" Seri.. odane kelambi va"
(Ok. Come here right now)

" Enna aachu nu sollu?"
(Tell me what happened).
Anger was starting to grow in me.

"VEETA VEDUCHUTANGA. ELANGO ULLAYE SETHUTAN. ELLAM POCHU. SEEKARAM VA" he yelled on the other side and hung up the call.
( They blasted our house. Elango died while he was inside. Everything's gone. Come fast)

I couldn't believe what he said. I grew up in that damn house. Now it's gone.. along with the fu*cking basement. The basement had everything related to our work. Our work place is the basement. What are we going to say to Rolex....

Moreover Elango... My friend... He's gone too.. even though I and him were not on good terms and had fights regularly... We cared for each other. He was a good friend...

I didn't move for a few moments even after he hung up. A lot of questions formed in my head with no answers... I kept hearing the words Anna said...

Finally I got out of my trance and stormed inside the house. Anbu was standing near the dining table pouring water for himself. He now wore a shirt but didn't put on the buttons.

"Deal okay ?" I asked

"Ok" he replied.

"Odane kelambu Chennai porom" I said
( Get ready we're going now)

He looked at me. It seemed like he was thinking.
" 2 mins" he said and went further into the house.

With the sight of water my throat felt dry. So I walked up to the table and poured myself a glass. My mind kept reverting back to the news Anna told. After finishing the glass of water I took out a cigarette, my last cigarette to ease the tension.

Anbu walked up to me and said that we can go. But suddenly I remembered something. The food...

"Iru... Saptiya?" I asked
(Wait.. did u eat?)
I don't even know him and I didn't want him to have an empty stomach because of my emergency.

He turned back to me and looked a bit confused. "Sapten" (I ate) he answered with a nod

"Apa athu?" I asked motioning to the food I kept on the teapoy.
( What about that?)

"Athu enaku illa"
( It's not for me)

I nodded a little in understanding and went towards the bike.

I asked him to hop on and he did. We took off to chennai.

It will take a really long time to reach Chennai by bike... I'm gonna be hella tired when I reach there. But at the present moment I don't fucking care... If it's for my brother I'll do anything.

I noticed Anbu calling someone through the rear view mirror. I remained quiet.

I couldn't hear the person on the other side of the phone due to air.

"Na konja naal veetla iruka maten.. paathuko.. hall la sapadu irukum..."
( I won't be in home for a few days.. look out for it and there's food in the hall )
Anbu said.

*Pause*

" Oru chinna deal"
( A small deal)

*Pause*

" Oru ponnu... Sandhanam thangachi aam.. athan"
( A girl.. Sandhanam 's sister it seems..)

He tapped on my shoulder after a pause and I turned my head a bit without taking my eyes of the road.

"Un per enna?" He asked
(What's ur name?)

"Varsha"
