Today's the day I fully manipulate my pawn into giving me as much detail as possible about Sagar's family. I hesitantly got ready for the so-called date with Bhoomika. I must admit I am a bit nervous. I look at myself in the mirror one last time, adjusting my outfit.
"Maga, chill maado. Yaak ishtondu nervous aagidya?" Bhargav walked into my room with a small bouquet.
(Dude, chill. Why are you so nervous?)
"I'm not nervous!"
"Nodidini. Avaglinda mirror mundene nintidya."
(I've seen. You're in front of the mirror from that time.)
"Ok fine. I don't want to mess up. What if she says something about Ammu and I lose it?"
"Stop overthinking. Baayi muchkondu horadu."
(Shut your mouth and leave.)
He's right, I'm just overthinking stuff. When everything has gone according to plan to date, there's nothing to worry about.
*Are you sure? Was Amrutha getting angry also a part of the plan?* My subconscious has to find the worst times to mess with me.
"What are you thinking? Just go!" Bhargav pushed me out the door. "There's a tracker in your car!" He called out.
"What!? Who's tracking me?"
"Let me finish. No one's tracking you. There's a tracker in your car which you can use on Bhoomika. It has an inbuilt microphone. Courtesy of Ayaan."
Ayaan has left due to some work but promised to be available when needed.
"I don't need it."
"As you wish. Now go. It isn't chivalrous to be late."
I gave him a smack on his shoulder and walked towards my car. Today I'll be taking my Slavia again. I've vowed to use only the Skoda Slavia till I get Amrutha back in this house. I made it just in time to the Modern Art Gallery. I walked over to the entrance and she arrived. We exchanged a handshake before heading inside.
Why is this so awkward? Anything for you Ammu!
"So, are you fond of art too? Or did you just randomly pick a spot?" She asked after what felt like an eternity.
"No! I got to know you're fond of art. That's why this location."
She blushed at my statement. Was it that easy to make a girl blush? And here I was overthinking shit. We spent the next 45 minutes looking at the masterpieces on display. Just looking at her face glow with excitement made me rethink my decision to use her as a pawn.
*Am I sensing something something here?*
"No! I meant she is innocent. But as Grover says, there's no success without collateral damage."
