The Thalapathy Game

The One Where It All Began

•••
Oh fish! It's gonna be hard for me from now on. I seriously need some superhuman strength to tolerate these guys. One is an angry bird while another is such an irritating fella. God!! Please help me. Why does Nethra had to do this to me? I thought while sipping my hot chocolate.

 I screamed all my thoughts so loud in my brain for I can't shout in reality. Nethra and others had already switched in to serious mode. So all I could do was scream inside my own mind and rampage my own thoughts. I was sitting there with them but was completely in another world. Physically present, mentally absent.

"DHRUV IS INNOCENT NETHRA. WE KNOW THAT, AND SO DO YOU." The army hunk shouted again which brought me back in to this world. This guy has some serious anger issues! Jeez man, how are Dhruv and Nethra even friends with them? Well , however I had a feeling I was missing out something important . 

"I do too", I said trying to get into the conversation. They all glared at me whereas I stared at them confusedly. What is wrong with these people? I was agreeing with them, Dhruv is innocent and I knew it a bit atleast . So I said it out....then why these glares ?  

"Well, whatever! We need to go meet  Dhruv. What we do after that, will be decided by him..." Anirudh said breaking the silence . Well that was definitely a considerable option right now. "He is in the Indian embassy now, we can go meet him now in the visiting hours" Arjun said agreeing with him. I looked at Nethra just like them, who were awaiting her opinion. She nodded in assurance. All three of us smiled slowly at her . 

"Well then we will leave now" Anirudh said getting up. Arjun followed him. They were leaving, so I could have some peace for sometime . Well this is a good sign. Myself and Nethra got up and walked to the door with them .

"Bye...." Anirudh said looking at Nethra. He turned towards me and said "That was the worst hot chocolate I ever had..."

Fhat The Wuck???? "Well, that worst hot chocolate you had... is my signature drink for the guests I hate! Congratulations you are one among them now! Welcome to the club!" I chirped enthusiastically clasping my hands. He glared at me as if it would effect me in any way.

Arjun and Nethra chuckled at us . Anirudh attempted to say something but was cut off by Arjun ."See you in the evening!" He said to us and walked out of the gate dragging Anirudh. I scoffed, "Silly punk" I said to myself.

We both went inside and I sat on the couch, continuing to sip my hot chocolate. "Gravity is pulling me hard. I'll hit rest for a while..." Nethra said with a tired look. I nodded and she walked wearily in to the bedroom. Poor Nethra !!! She didn't deserve this pain or agony . That bastard Mr.A is going to pay the highest tax for giving us all this pain. 

I stood drowned in my thoughts for a while and then got ready for my work and left our home but not before leaving a note for Nethra.

I barged into the bedroom and collapsed on the bed. I wanted to sleep but I couldn't. Because every damn time I close my eyes I see him smiling, I feel his warmth,I hear his words that gave strength to me until now.

The day that I considered to be my luckiest day until now is the one that l wish I had never lived one. The day that we met was playing again and again in mind. Drops of hot tears trailed down my cheeks . 

Why did it have to be me ? I wish I never lived that day. The day I met him. I wish I never lodged the complaint in first place. The more I wanted to forget it the more it came back to me. Such a boomerang these memories are!
