The Night Hunter- Bunty

The plan

Confused Jaanu sat there thinking about the conversation between Ram and Langesh. She felt proud of Langesh that he stands up for his partner whenever Ram is in trouble. Just then her phone vibrated, displaying the name 'Langesh'. She ran to the bathroom along with the phone as it is the only place in Ram's room which is immune to the re-engineering thing. Calming down herself she stood by the wash basin sink and attended the call.

L: Hello Janaki.

J: He... hello Langesh, is everything ok? You called up at this time, what's wrong?

Janaki pretended to not know anything.

L: Yeah, everything is fine here in India. But not there in Canada. I need your help Janaki.

J: Why? What went wrong?

Langesh told her about Maya and how Ram feels about it without knowing Janaki knew this all already. She patiently listened to him even though she knew the whole story.

J: Oh ok, I am so sorry for Ram. But what can I do about it?

L: I know you treat him like a nice friend, if I was there I would have handled it but now I can't trust Ram with anyone else other than you.

J: What do you want me to do?

L: I want you to 'Roast Ram'.

J: WHAT!!!

L: Sush... be careful, he might have heard. Yes, I want to you roast him, tease him, make him feel embarrassed to the core whenever he thinks or speaks about that white pig to you.

J: Aren't we supposed to make him comfortable?

L: We are supposed to help him come back. Right now he is confused about his feelings towards Maya. He might have made a decision too, but once he sees that witch she will cast her spell on him. So while being next to her, you have to roast him. You would have already noticed his behavior, he is a kind hearted guy who can be manipulated easily. But if his ego is touched, he will start thinking about him, we need to push him to that. Can you do that Janaki?

Janaki looked at her reflection in the mirror, she brought the psychiatrist within her out. She smiled confidently at her reflection and answered him.

J: Did you undergo any psychological course?

L: ha ha ha, no I didn't, but I know Ram's psychology, I can proudly say that I am a PhD holder went it comes to Ram's case.

Janaki chuckled listening to Langesh. Right from childhood she noticed that Langesh kept on distracting Ram from his problems. Though on the outer part it always seemed like Ram took care of Langesh, but actually it was both-sided care and affection. They are indeed soul brothers.

J: I'm in.

L: You're in. Then we are a team now. Thank you Janaki.

J: Call me Jaanu, I'm jaanu to my family. To my brother.

Smiled jaanu over the phone. Langesh felt like a world war came to an end, he was happy that not only Ram but also Janaki started to break her shell, he always considered Sita and Janaki as his sisters and he is glad that now Janaki also acknowledged it. He relaxed himself and cut off the call to drift off to sleep.

Janaki looked at her reflection, she felt like the mischievous side of her is blooming. She winked at herself and started turning on the shower.

After 15 minutes she descended the stairs wearing Ram's dress to find him doing sirasasana. She felt pity on him but the psychiatrist Janaki didn't let her go. Noticing her presence he descended down

J: Ram, aren't you getting ready? We have a work to do.

R: Not today please, we still have 3 days left right. We can secretively put a tracker on her.

J: How can we do that? We have to make sure that she takes it to the place, either it should be a gift from the person whom she thinks as a scapegoat or a really expensive necklace with tracker which she wouldn't take off even during the meeting. Or we can do the both.

Janaki eyed a knowing look to Ram but dealing with his confusion he failed to notice it.

J: Hey Manga, how long are you going to sit there like a statue. Get ready quickly. We need to go out for shopping, bring all the cash you have. Strictly no cards.

R: Please try to understand, I can't see her now. I am confused, she hurt me, she betrayed me.

Blabbered Ram as usual.

R MV: Aiyo aiyo, oru periya plaster vaangi en vaaiya otikanum. Indha sirasasana panninalae yellathaiyum ulari kottiren (I should by a plaster and stick it on my mouth, whenever I do this sirasasana I keep blabbering).

J: She hurt you and betrayed you?! You mean she is your girlfriend?

R: NO, no, she is not. She is... she is my crush, but not anymore.

Janaki imitated Langesh's laughing style and laughed for a long time. Ram thought she went mad.

J: You ha ha, you loved her ha ha ha. My stomach hurts.

R: Not exactly love, but I liked her. But why are you laughing like a maniac.

J: Seeing your taste on women, I can't control my laughter.

R: What?

J: See looks like the female version of 'stuard little', talks like Eleanor from 'Alvin and the chipmunks', whereas she really is a gold digger and a call girl. So, is my statement wrong? You fell for gold digger not actual women.

R: How dare you.......

J: Yes I am dared, I am sure you start melting after seeing her croaky smile and fake love.

R: ne..never.

J: ha ha. That's why you are hiding here in this house, not facing her, aren't you? Fine I will go there and somehow finish the task. You stay here in home as a good guy.

Janaki straightly walked towards the door without waiting for his response, but actually she walked away to make him respond.

R: Wait, How do you manage to prove me always wrong Doctor? I thought you broke your mould that day after our conversation in the plane. You started creating bonds with people around you. But no, you can never be a family person. This time, I am going to make you lose. No matter what, I am not going to get back to her.

J: we will see. Mr.Romeo. Now you go and get ready, meanwhile I will prepare the chapatti.

R: Marubadiyum mothalla irundha (Again from the start). I will prepare the chapatti's Doctor ji. You reheat the butter chicken.

Ram ran away to the kitchen scared what Janaki would do to the chapatti batter. Seeing his confidence and adamancy, Janaki felt that her plan is working. She now has to take care that 'Chipmunk' doesn't play any drama.

hello sweethearts,

Not only love but also we need good friend, brother/sister, family with us.

I framed Langesh's character as 'a friend indeed' material.

hope you all accept his maturity, but don't worry, i will not take away his innocence and attitude away from him.

Love you all.

Pavi <3
