Chapter 16 - Making Amends

Later that afternoon, after everyone came back safely to the hotel, they began clearing the confusions of each other.

Well, everyone except for Nikhil, Damru and his men. There was still no word about them. But Raj had informed the police and asked them to track the thugs down.

Now, they had freshened up and had their meals after the hectic events. As everyone was tired, Raj suggested they rest while he got out to bid goodbye to Commando and his actors, along with their manager.

"Sorry for the inconvenience me and my team caused. I'm embarrassed at wh-"

"It's okay Commando. It was my daughter's fault for causing you the trouble of coming here and getting into a mess that is not yours."

"Still. I would like to apologize."

"It's alright." Raj took out some money and gave it in Commando's hands. "here's your payment."

Commando handed it back. "I can't take this. We messed up by going after the wrong people.That was our very job which we messed up!"

Raj chuckled. "But because of you we got the scenes we needed to complete the film."

Commando  blinked in confusion. "Eh?"

"Haha...! Don't worry. You boys acted great. As for the money, you'll know why I'm paying you later."

"Bu-"

Raj shoved the money in his hands and turned him, pushing him lightly towards his buddies. "You'll understand. For now, enjoy the cash."

Commando still didn't understand, but accepted the money. Who was he to refuse if he was being offered money for something good he did, even though unconsciously?

Raj waved as he watched Commando leave with his companions and the manager.

"Dad! Oi old man!" Aliyah shouted as she came near.

Raj looked at his daughter with an irritated look. "You're after your mother you know. "

"What was that, Dad? Do you want me to report to Mum?"

"Like she'll believe you more than me."

"You are badmouthing about her to me! How could you call her troublesome?"

"She's a menace! She should be thankfulo that I married her. Because I don't think anyone else could have handled her obnoxious attitude." Raj boasted.

Aliyah glared at him. But her glare soon turned into a mischievous look. "FYI, she's on the phone with me and she heard everything you said." she raised her phone for him to see with glee. "The reason I was approaching you was because mother wanted to talk to you."

Raj looked at her in horror as she put the phone on speaker. "Bi-Binita, it's not like that!"

(Of course it is! I heard everything! How dare you talk like that about me!?)

"It's not what it looks like! I-I mean to s-say th-"

(I don't want to hear anything from you! In fact, don't even talk to me!)

"But Binita dear, li-"

(Don't 'Binita dear' me! I'm not going to forgive you so soon. You're sleeping on the couch for a week!)
