Laya was feeling extremely uncomfortable in that car. She felt like she will end up in hospital before reaching her destination. After driving for 50 minutes he stopped the car in a familiar locality. She felt that she would have reached the place in 30 minutes if she walked. It is a local market area  where everything is available. Starting from vegetables and groceries to raw materials for factories. She comes to this place every week for buying grocery and vegetables. She wondered who is that boss of this intimidating guy. She cursed her brother for the nth  for getting into a mess with others.

That guy : get down !

Laya : hmm.

Laya got down from the car and looked at that guy.

That guy : this way ! 

He pointed towards a narrows street between a textile store and utensils store. It is very dusty and dark. She went along with that guy and saw a old fashioned 3 floors building. She saw few people who are engrossed in their own work . 

That guy : go upstairs ! You will find your brother in that room.

Laya : ok ! 

Laya walked towards the staircase and went upstairs. She saw a dwarf who is much shorter than her . He is standing near the door.

That dwarf : hey ! Are you laila ?

Laya : no ! I am laya ! 

That dwarf : whatever ! Are you naresh's sister ?

Laya : no ! I am mahesh's sister. 

That dwarf : aa.. that mahesh only. Go inside.

Laya nodded and went inside. She saw her brother . They tied him to a chair and covered his mouth.

Laya : rey idiot ! Why you messed with these people ? Do you think that i am a billionaire ? How i am supposed to pay 60 lakhs ? Even if we sell the house we may not get that money. You pulled us on to the road. Amma is extremely worried. Why are you silent ? You did everything but you are being silent now.

She heard someone laughing loudly behind her. She turned around and saw a person who is more than a feet taller than her. She lifted her head up to see his face. He is still laughing like a maniac. She gave him an awkward smile.

Arjun : his mouth is covered . How can he speak ?

Arjun walked towards mahesh and removed the cloth that he stuffed in his mouth.

Mahesh : anna ! Please leave me. I will pay you back by doing anything .

Laya : I know my brother did a mistake but I can't pay 60 lakhs. I don't have that money. 

Arjun : ok !

Laya : what ? Did you just agree ?

Arjun : yes ! 

Laya : thank you so much sir ! 

Arjun : but one condition.

Laya : what is that sir ?

Arjun : you should do a favour to me ! 

Laya : huh ?

Arjun : A robbery ! 

Laya : what ? 

Arjun : yes ! If you do that i will leave your brother or else i will sell your brother's organs and earn money. The decision is yours.

Laya : robbery ? How can i do a robbery sir ? 

Arjun : i am not asking you to do. I am asking you to help me in it.

Laya : how can i help you sir ? You have many goons. Take their help. I don't know anything except managing the restaurant and cooking.

Laya acted as if she is smelling something.

Laya : someone is bringing money.

Arjun looked at the door and a person came with a bag. Arjun looked at laya again. That person placed the bag on the table and bowed to arjun. He started laughing again. He punched him lightly on his lower jaw to control his laughter.

Arjun : namasthey lal ji ! What took you this much time ?

Lal : I forgot the address sir. By the way who is she ? 

Arjun : my girlfriend's wife.

( ps : rudramadevi movie ) 

Laya looked at him with an annoyed face.

Lal chuckled.  The dwarf who was standing near the door came inside and checked the money. 

Arjun : chotu ! Are you done with the checking ?

Chotu ( that dwarf ) : yes anna.

Arjun : ok ! You may leave now. 

Lal : thank you sir ! 

Lal left . 

Arjun : what did you decide ? Brother or Being a good girl ?

Laya : brother ! 

Arjun : it is something related to the 5-star hotel in which you are working as restaurant manager.

Laya : what ? 

Arjun : the auction. The great Indian auction event.

Laya nodded.

Arjun : good ! Come here tomorrow at the same time. I will tell you what you are supposed to do.

Laya nodded.

Arjun : you are indeed courageous. You agreed easily.

Laya : I have to be courageous to deal with people like you. 

Arjun : and make sure that you are wearing heels. I am getting back-pain because of bending.

Laya looked at him angrily.

Arjun : what ? Why are you staring at me ? I can knock you down with one punch. 

Laya didn't respond to his words but walked away angrily. The guy who came to her house offered to drop her. She ignored him and walked away. She went home and knocked the door loudly. Her mother opened the door with a worried face.

Urmila : why did you come alone ? Where is your brother ?

Laya : he is fine. 

Urmila : then where is he ?

Laya : don't irritate me amma. I have some work. Saving him is my responsibility. You don't worry about him. He will be back soon.

Urmila : why he didn't came today ?

Laya : arey why are you irritating me ? That moron over there is asking me to help him in a robbery. If i help him he will release mahesh it seems.

Urmila : what ?

Laya : yes ! That is the situation in which i am struck now. One wrong step will result the worst outcome.
