Jara : rey ! It's enough raa. May be i will end up crying . What a lovely couple ? Shut that TV.

Jara felt emotional after watching the film. He is watching the classic telugu film ' prema' for nth time. He don't know why but he loves that film to the point where he cries by watching the death of maggie ( female protagonist ) every single time.

Jara : I am going to sleep now. Don't disturb me ! Ok ?

Everyone : yes anna ! 

Jara : why don't you guys wish me a 'good night' ? 

Everyone wished him good night in the same tone how school kids will wish their teachers in the morning.

Jara stood up from the place where he is sitting and walked towards his room. He stopped and turned back. 

Jara : you guys are dumb and useless. I told you guys many times. I hate it if my surroundings are dirty. Clean this blood. 

Jara pointed towards a drop of blood on the floor. He killed a tribal man who is spying on him since last 1 week with a table lamp few hours ago. He banged it on his head multiple times. He did this in front of the constable who is under his hostage. At last  the constable revealed that dev have a daughter who stays in Hyderabad. He told that dev loves his daughter a lot and she is his weakness. He told jara about amukta too. He said that amukta works in forensic department but she is not a permanent employee. He suggested jara to use this as an opportunity to stop her from being part of this investigation. He also told jara that she will always help him in his work. Jara listened his words carefully and consciously. After that he trashed that constable with the same lamp. He did that in the absence of his kali. He knew that kali will definitely oppose him . Only kali have the audacity to speak against him.

NEXT DAY , 

Mythili called her friend for nth time. But she didn't answer her call. She is getting tensed. She recalled the day when she met dev in an extremely awkward and embarrassing situation. She was caught in a drunk and drive case. She refused to blow when the police asked her to do so for checking if she is drunk. When he found out that she is extremely drunk. He ordered the constables seize the vehicle and make her pay the fine. She lashed out at him and told him not to mess with her. A lady constable splashed water on her face to get her back to senses. They took her to the police station. Dev was present in the same station for interrogating a criminal. He heard her threatening the constables and SI by speaking about her background. Dev stopped as soon as she said that she is the granddaughter of Maheshwara Raju ( dev's maternal grandfather ) and daughter of his younger son lakshmana raju. He walked towards them. She recalled that day.

Dev : what's going on ?

Lady constable : drunk and drive case sir ! Seems like she is from an influential family. 

Dev : I heard her threatening you people.

Mythili : hey ! Tell me how much money you want ? Just let me go ! I'll burn down the whole station if you guys won't listen to me.

Dev : call someone and go home after signing here. 

Mythili : why should I sign ? I won't. Give my phone. Hey bitch ! Can't you hear me ?

Dev slapped her hardly across her face. Mythili was in a shock. 

Dev : go and tell your family that DCP Vidharth Dev slapped you for misbehaving with police after getting booked in a drunk and drive case. 

Mythili : you just slapped me ! Do you think that's a right thing to do ?

Dev : I did what an ideal elder brother would do if his younger sibling did something wrong. I am fine with you complaining to your family. Do that if you have dare to be honest with them !

Mythili was silent. She asked for a pen and signed. Her phone was given back to her. She called her friend. Her friend came and took her home. She saw dev who is looking at her with concern.  She found the name familiar but she didn't remember where and when she heard that name.

But today she realised that he is her cousin. She understood why he showed concern for her on that day. She didn't understand why he didn't talk to her about that day again. She tried to apologise him but she stopped as dev was always surrounded by a crowd. Her father took dev's address as dev and amukta asked them to visit them . The family happily agreed for that. 

.......

Kali got to know that jara killed the constable immediately after getting the information about dev. He walked towards the godown where jara was talking to some foreign client on phone furiously. 

Kali : anna ! What have you done ? Why did you kill him ?

Jara : whom dear ? That li'll lamb which i ate yesterday night ?

Kali : anna stop ! That constable. He gave the information that you need right ? What's the necessity of killing him ? 

Jara : he was appointed here because he showed loyalty to dev but he spilled lot of things about him here. When he is able to backstab a sincere officer like dev , why don't he do the same to a moton like me ? That's the reason for killing him. You are still a kid. You won't understand all these matters. 

Kali : you are landing yourself in trouble anna ! Please be careful before doing anything. You are underestimating him. You don't know what he had done few  years ago in warangal.

Jara : what happened in warangal ?

Kali : did you remember Vishwa ? A local thug who was involved in land mafia and illegal mining ?

Jara : yes ! 

Kali : Dev is the one who actually encountered him. He closed the case by fabricating it as cross firing between two gangs. He is not just intelligent but also smart.

Kali started narrating about vishwa's story ....
