Some aunties were standing with traditional wear outside the house on the big entrance. They were having juices on their hands.
"Yendi, andha Sivaangi ah paathiya? Rendu pasangaloda vera suthura." (Hey, did you look at that Sivaangi? She hangs out with tow boys.)
"Vidu di, avanga nanbargal ah irukkum. Innoru ponnu vera irunchu." (I think they're friends.)
"Indha kaaalathu ponnungala pathi theriyaadha....boyfriend-u girlfriend-u nu suthudhunga." (Don't you know about girls these days? They're too busy with boyfriends and girlfriends.)
"Idhu Kutty oda ponne illa...why to care?" (This is not Kutty's daughter...why to care?)
"Adhu illa di, adhoda appa amma va kandupudichi complaint pannanum." (Not that di, should find her parents and complain.)
"Andha rendu pasanga nu sonnen la, adhulla oruthana enakku theriyum...avanoda amma inga dhaan irukka." (I told about the 2 boys right? I know about one of the boys and I will complain it to his mom.)
Soon, that detective aunty went near Ashwin's mom who was wearing a brown saree along with a brown blouse.
"Hey, Saroja." the aunty called out.
"Hey Mrinalini." Ashwin's mom hugged her back.
"Un paiyan epdi irukaan?" (How's your son?)
"Avan inga dhaan avan friends oda poirkaan." (He went with his friends.)
"Oh, avan friends yaaru di?" (Oh, who's his friends?)
"Uhhh...Rakshan, Megalai, Sivaangi."
"Adhu enna pa, pombala pullainga ellam prends-u nu soldra?...friends nu sollitu love pandraanga pa indha kaalathula jaakiradhai." (Why are you telling girls as his friends? Today's kids will be in love in the pretext of being friends.)
"Avan love panna enna ippo? Avanukku already arranged marriage aagi enna aachunu theriyum...avan ippo pannadha thappu kaaga alimony kattitu irukaan." (What's there for you if he loves her? You know that he had arranged marriage and is now paying alimony for a crime he didn't commit.)
"Nee dhaana di correct ah ponna paakanum." (You should correctly see a girl.)
"Nee sonna kudumbathu lerundhu dhaan ponnu paathen...ippo enna aachu nu ooruke theriyum." (I married from a girl you recommended...now we all know what happened.)
Mrinalini went shut and then was processing Saroja's words.
"Yendi..." she pointed her hands toward Saroja with her eyes fuming dissapointment. (Hey di.)
"Enna? yendi nu poi velaya paaru po." Saroja replied just like that with a poker face. (What? di? Go and do your job.)
Mrinalini started walking with a dissapointed feeling and also angriness in her. She wasn't the type to break the system.
"Pinnadi pesu po." Saroja suggested. (Talk behind my back, go.)

Manimegalai was inside the restroom and took the phone from the packet of her pant which was on the metal hangar.
The LED light inside it was flickering and the white walls were bright with the brown floor being colder.
She got a phone call.
"Hello sir."
"Ippo namma undercover officers ah assign pannirkaanga nu andha Kaali's Gang kku therinjupochu..." (The Kaali's gang know the undercover agents now...)
"Sir?" She was uncertain and she almost started crying. She encircled her hand on her head with shame.
"Epdiyaachum escape aagidu illana nee sethuruva." (Escape or else you'll be dead.)
"Sir, andha gang ah naa vidamaaten. I have a plan B." (Sir, I'll not leave the gang alone. I have a plan B.)
Author's Note: Hi guys, how's the chapter? Please let me know.
What's the Plan B? Any guesses.
