Again there is an ecg pattern of votes.  Still I am not going to let myself down..

I will continue writing this boring story.

~~~~~~~~~~Vignesh~~~~~~~~~~

I was working when I received a call. It was a new number. With confusion I attended the call.

Upon hearing what they said, I moved away and answered it. After 5 minutes of talking, I disconnected the call. Immediately I dialed my bro and lashed out at him.

Finally when I came to my seat Deva gave me a smirk with teasing look. Deva and myself work in the same automobile company as Automotive engineers.

"dei.. I heard a girl voice. who is that?" he asked playfully which earned a strong glare from me.

"Pakki.. it is from my brother's college. He has bunked the class stating some stupid reasons and gave my number as his Father's number. The call was from a staff from the college office."

"ohhh"

"what Ohh? How dare he? He did not even inform about this to me. At last I covered up for him. That's why I dialed him and lashed out for his behavior."

"macchi.." Deva called me.

"what??"

"from when did you become this much responsible? Remember the number of times we have bunked classes and other atrocities that we have done. Why do you want to scold your bro? Let him enjoy"

"Dei.. all those things stays between us. Don't you dare reveal all this to him. He would use that as a chance and will do much more. But I am not going to leave him. I am going to report all this to my mom."

Few days passed.

Me and Deva went to have a tea before we start from office. We were discussing nothing in particular but in general. 

In between I got call from the same number thrice, which I did not attend.  Suddenly Deva started his interrogation on me.

"machan.. indha nanban kitendu edachu maraikariya?" in the tone of Rajini from the movie jailer.

(dude.. are you hiding something from your dear friend?)

"pcch... nothing" I shrugged. But through the corner of my eyes, I noted Deva looking at me. He was observing each and every action of mine.

"pcch.. dei.. why do you look at me like that?"

"tell the truth obediently. I already knew , still I wanted it to come from your mouth"

I narrated what happened. 

4 days after the incident with my brother and his college bunk situation, it was a weekend. My family decided to go attend a small function and also meet a family friend of my mother nearby. 

I was against going with them to the function nor to the family friend house. Upon continuous persistence I agreed to go. 

"maa.. I will come in my bike"

"dei.. let us all go in car. No need of bike. And wear something nice. A formal pant and shirt"

"maa.. I am not going to attend any interview.. this casuals in enough. Anyway I am not going to meet your family friend . I will attend the function and return home"

"Dei.. why can't you listen to your mom?"

"maa.."

"maa.. very bad behaviour of him maa. He is doing too much because you are giving lot of space for him as an elder son. that is the reason. see he is not even obeying you" my brother replied.
