"Ippo enna pandrathu?"
"Enna ketta? Thiridinavala kelu."
Sivaangi glared at her friend Sakthi, "Dei, naa thirudinena? Eppadi en bag la vanthuchunu ennake theriyala."
Her other friend, Pavitra plopped down on the couch with a bowl of ice cream. "Ithuku than bag zip a full close pananumnu solrathu."
Sivaangi groaned and stared at the gun on the table. It was any other day, she took the metro train home after college and when she came home she searched around her bag for her headphones to find a gun.
Sakthi said, "Unaku purithaa therila, but someone brought a gun to a metro train. Metal detectors thaandi vanthurkanga."
Sivaangi looked at him and stood up. "Okay! Naa police kitta poga poren."
"Are you sure?" Sakthi asked and she said.
"Pinna? Having this around will be even more suspicious. Ippove poren."
Sakthi nodded, "Seri, naanum varen."
Pavitra slumped onto the couch, "Neenga poi adventure continue panunga naa inga ice cream kooda date la iruken."
Sivaangi rolled her eyes and smacked her with a pillow. She got up and scurried around for her bag, and soon enough she left for the nearby police station on Sakthi's new bike. When she got down he said,
"Puthu bike la first ride eh police station. Velangidum."
Sivaangi glared at him and walked inside the police station. In her 23 years of life, she had never been to one. It was like how it was in the movies, brick and red with brown everywhere.
She entered nervously, confused who to go to. By the door she spotted a short man with incredibly curly and puffy hair. She walked towards him, and tapped his shoulder. He turned around and she said,
"Anna.. complaint tharanum…. complaint illa..therila enna pananumnu."
The man stared at her and nodded slowly, "Inga va ma. Inga ukkaru naa varen."
Sivaangi nodded and sat down on the desk. He emerged later with a few papers and sat down. Her eyes flicked down to his badge and his name was on there. Pugazh.
"Sollu ma, enna prachanai?"
Sivaangi opened to respond when they door burst open behind her. Everyone immediately got up and Sivaangi turned around to see a tall man, warm brown eyes, and beared walk in. He was wearing the traditional khaki uniform. He walked towards Pugazh's table and Pugazh saluted him.
"Sir." he said. The man rubbed his eyebrow tiredly and said,
"Pugazh antha Muthukumar case enna achu? Athoda case fi-"
He stopped in mid sentence and Sivaangi blinked. He was attractive. Her eyes searched for his badge. Ashwin Kumar. That was his name. He scanned her appearance like she did, and he asked Pugazh, his eyes still trained on her.
"Enna case ithu?"
Pugazh said, "Therla sir. Ippo than ketutu irunthen."
Ashwin didn't say anything except for stare at her before he said, "Ulla vanga."
