CHAPTER - 22

Cafe.

Pihu walks into the cafe and waits for Abhi to arrive.

Abhi:-" Sorry cookie, I got stuck in the traffic."

Pihu:-" That's ok, shall we order."

Abhi:-"yes, (both order coffee) so how are things going on."

Pihu:-" I don't know, there is too much of chaos's everywhere, so I kinda don't know."

Abhi:-"Why, what happen again?"

Pihu:-"Prithvi wants our help in solving the case."

Abhi:-"What happened suddenly to him, last time I knew he was blackmailing you guys."

Pihu:-" We don't know what is happening in his head. Last time when  we met Prithvi and Arnav, they told us."

Abhi:-" When did you guys meet?"

Pihu:-"Yesterday at Arnav's office. (Pihu narrates whatever happened at Arnav's place)"

Abhi:-"This is crazy, how can someone be so fickle minded?"

Pihu:-"Prithvi and fickle minded is not possible, there will be hidden motive behind this."

Abhi:-"Maybe, so what's next."

There coffee arrives by then, them start having coffee.

Pihu:-" We thought of finding out the culprit power on our own."

Abhi:-" With the help of Prithvi and Arnav?"

Pihu:-" Yes, but we are not going to tell them everything what we are doing."

Abhi:-" I didn't get you, what are you doing to say cookie?"

Pihu:-"Like we will do our share of Investigation without Prithvi or Arnav knowing. We can't completely trust them right."

Abhi:-" Yes, you cannot, you have to be careful. But will Inaaya hide it from Arnav?"

Pihu:-" She didn't tell him about our CCTV incident, so I don't think she will tell this."

Abhi:-" But, at that time she was angry with Arnav, so she didn't tell, but now they are talking to each other right, so she may?"

Pihu:-" I trust innu, she is doing everything she can to save me. So I wouldn't doubt her."

Abhi:-" But won't her relation with Arnav take a beating ?"

Pihu:-"They are matured enough to not let others problems affect their relation. So nothing to working ."

Abhi:-" If you say so."

Pihu:-" What about the video?"

Abhi:-(takes a pen-drive from his pocket gives it to her) "Here, I have changed it accordingly, go back to your room and check it."

Pihu:-(keeps pen-drive in her bag) "Thanks Abhi, I don't know without your help how we would have done it."

Abhi:-" Please don't disrespect our friendship by saying thanks. We have been friends from our childhood, it's my duty and responsibility to help you, so don't thank me."

Pihu:-" You have come like an angel in my life, trying to help me out, when nothing is going right."

Abhi:-" Remember that we may not talk or text each other everyday, but I am going to be always there with you when something goes wrong."

Pihu:-"I know."

They pay the bill and exit out of Cafe.

Abhimanyu offers to drop Pihu back to the hostel.
They talk about some random stuffs in their way back to hostel.
