Vamsi 's pov :-

Hey Man I greet him .

Hey , What are you doing here he asks surprised .

Ofcourse he's surprised . He wouldn't have expected me to be here but he was and is my friend . Money never mattered between us in past and I'm sure it'll not in future too .

Nothing just came to check on you , I tell him smilingly but in actual I've come to detect something .

So whose garage is this ? I ask him curious . Though it's not big but it's enough for one man working .

It's his garage till he pays me my daily dose , I hear someone say . I turn around to see a drunkard standing there taking wobbly steps .

How many times have I told you to come and drink here and not outside . What if something happens ? Chandu asks angrily while that man just shrugged .

Taking deep breath , Chandu makes him lie on a bed in the corner of garage that I didn't notice .

When did the arrogant Chandu become caring ? Looks like he has changed .

Who's he ? I ask him curiously .

He's the owner of this place who let me rent this place for a bottle of alcohol a day but I give him only a peg , Chandu tells me fondly .

How can you like this drunkard ? I ask him exasperated of change in his behavior .

He has given me a place to start my own business for a cheap rate and it's better you don't speak wrong about him , Chandu warns me .

Woah ! You adore him ? I ask him because come-on who tolerates a drunkard daily .

He drinks because he believes that his dead wife would come back to stop him . He wants to extract revenge from her for leaving him . That's the reason he drinks . Chandu tells me with a small smile .

Okay , enough of all these but I want your help I tell him and he looks at me raising his eyebrow .

What help ? He asks keeping the spanner aside .

Arey You ask too much questions , come with me saying this I pull him up and throw his shirt on his face .

He buttons up his shirt and I take him to market .

Why are we here ? He asks looking around .

I wanted to purchase a gift for Anu , I tell him and his whole face demeanor changes .

Why he asks me with cold eyes . God does this guy know that he's jealous ?

What why Chandu ? Ofcourse because she is my friend and I loved her once .
I tell him and look around to gift her something for her wedding and also for her help with my girlfriend .....

I find a pink scarf and think of purchasing it when a fist lands on my face .

What the hell ? Chandu I shout holding my jaw .

You better stop loving her she's my WIFE and I won't let her love anyone else , hE says furiously ....

Relax man , so will you tell me who 's your wife ? I tease though I kind of know it already .

You know ? He asks shock clearly evident in his voice .

Yes , I reply with a smirk .

How he asks ? While I ask the shop keeper to pack a pink scarf .

What do you think ? I'm a fool to not notice the obvious tension at your home yesterday when I asked her about Anu's husband ? And if you've forgotten you never as in ever eat from anyone's spoon but you ate that kheer yesterday .....

You saw was what my duffer of friend asked me in return ....

Ofcourse and I want to gift Anu because she has helped me with my girlfriend I tell him and notice him taking a breath of relief .

If then her favorite color is blue not pink he tells rubbing his neck nervously .

You know you're totally whipped and in love , I tell him .

I like her but love is a strong word and .....

I cUt him off , whatever Mr . Iyer you're doing things that you've never done with anyone and that has to mean something right ?

He keeps thinking while I pay the bill and keep thinking of ways to make him understand that he has already fallen in a deep hole of love ......
