The Thalapathy Game

What Next?

"Atleast you have any idea, Ani?" I asked him impatiently. "I don't know... I don't have a single clue! And also, I wonder how Arjun can go on hunt like these without me!" He exclaimed and stopped abruptly. "I mean it's ok... It's something for our friend... Something for Dhruv. I understand he went without me in an emergency. But he went with her... like seriously? HER?!" he shrieked.

"Yeah right! It's 'HER', because he knew that at least 'HER' could be of any help, unlike you!" The voice immediately made us get up from the stairs and rush to the door. It was Aditi and Arjun back from the mela, where they had got some evidence. I really hope it's off some use.

Arjun took off his coat as he followed her inside. "Arjun! How could you do this?" Anirudh shouted at Arjun, even before Arjun could look at us fully. "How could I do What? " Arjun asked casually . "How could you take Aditi to collect clues instead of me?" Ani shrieked in an annoyed tone. Argh! This guy! He is now having some serious issues. "Correction, it was me who took him, not him who took me!" She took off her coat and looked at him with a sarcastic smile to which his reflex worked as a death glare with his hands akimbo.

"Ok, are you gay?" Aditi asked casually and threw her coat on the sofa. The question caught all of us off-guard. "What?!" All three of us shrieked together. "Even if you were, it won't be of any use. Because that guy was straight!" Aditi crossed her arms and continued, "And that's why I was of exact use!" She proudly waved her hair back. "Aditi... What are you even blabbering? You know the time right? It's 1 in the morning and I am partially sick. We are awake, because you called and said that you have something very important! And all what you are ranting now is some LGBT crap!" I lost my cool and almost yelled at her.

"Oh God! Relax, Nethra! You remember that cute guide guy you restricted me to date!" She uttered her words with excitement. "Yeah... For that?" I reacted back dubiously, my eyebrows cocking up involuntarily. "Yes! I met him today!" Ok now, if Aditi is not going to stop this shit, I'm going to gang up with Anirudh against her. I wonder how Arjun spent an evening with her! But... how is this even important now.

Ani attempted to say something but was cut off by Arjun.

"Ani avlo laam feel pannadha inime nee dhaan ellam pannanum." (Ani, now stop worrying it, because the job hereafter is yours!) Arjun said with dead seriousness in his eyes. "Oh why would I do that now?" Anirudh was  almost annoyed. Arjun glared at him which made him ask another question with a change of words "What should I do now?"  "Well, first of all we spotted Arun in the party we attended." Arjun said to which Anirudh gasped. Hold on... now how is Arun important to Arjun and Anirudh? How was he connected to this in anyway?

Noticing the question mark on my face, Arjun started to answer my questions, "Dhruv had told us that Arun tipped him off falsely, to the police, when we met him. " 

FhatTheWuck!!!!!?????

"Arun!! That bastard, he was the one who deceived us? How could he!? All this pain ... me and Dhruv went through... all the crap was because of him?!" My hands were automatically supporting my chest, as I muttered things in disbelief.

"The thing is ..... We have his mobile number and car number." Arjun broke the most important thing to us. "And what exactly are we going to do with them?" Ani asked with a raised eyebrow. Ah! Dumbhead! Now I agree with Aditi.

"Arun would have surely done it on the orders of Mr.A... " Arjun started but was cut off by Ani who pointed out. "He could have done it for money."
