Second Chance (Vol.1) Squandered

78: RRR

(Shout) Hello! Look who's here!

All of them turned in sync to check if that call was for them. Clu shrieked and launched herself at a good looking guy roughly Noors age. He wasn't alone but he said something to his crowd and they dispersed. Clu hugged the guy again like a long lost friend but Noor noted that she was still very much human and had not transformed into her 4-tentacled-octopus avatar.

Clu pulled the guy to where they had grouped; her arm around his elbow; way too comfortable.

Clu Adi and the New Guy screamed Surprize!

Clu and Adi exchanged confused looks.

New Guy: (looking at Adi) Clu invited me here and asked me not to tell you.

New Guy: (looking at Clu) Adi asked me to be here but not tell you... so... SURPRIZE!!!

New Guy: (to both) Okay! Okay! I did come a day earlier. Hope that's okay?

Adi: (to Clu) You *invited* Rishi to his own home... Home of sorts... He owns this place. The Royal Golf Resort belongs to... Okay guys! This is Rishikesh Rannvijay Rathore... guys meet the owner of this empire...

RRR: (taken aback) I am no own...

Suddenly out of the blue Sanju was in RRRs face.

Sanju: (attacking RRR) I have been trying to contact you... all of last one year and your staff keeps putting me off...

The girls stared at Sanju. Where was their sweet soft spoken Sanju! She had transformed into some avenging aggressive avatar on a mission and...

Something strange happened. There seemed to be some air current that seemed to swirl Sanju's silky hair around her pretty face. She had to flick them repeatedly off her face. RRR seemed to have lost his tongue and the same air current seemed to ruffle his front locks off his forehead. The air current seemed to fizzle out before reaching the rest of them. There was also a strange halo of some sort around the two and the two couldn't take their eyes off one another and were in a world of their own.

Noor narrowed her eyes at Clu who looked ecstatic. Were these 2 victims of Clu's match-making schemes!

Just then out of nowhere Arjun shoved RRR none too kindly. If Aditya had not pinned down Arjun's arms to his sides by locking his arms around Arjun from behind, Arjun would have landed a punch on RRR's cute face. Aditya had to drag Arjun away to prevent some kicks landing on RRR.

Zoya cringed seeing Aditya grimace as Arjun's attempts to escape hurt Aditya's wrists and he kept bumping Aditya's left shoulder.

RRR: I am sorry. I had no idea...

Arjun: (between kicks) You had no idea. Is it? The whole world knew... It was the talk of the town... Everyone was asking around.... But you... you had no idea... no clue of...

RRR: But Bhai told me he will kill me if...

Arjun: Now I will kill you... Rip you with my bare hands...

RRR: Sorry Sorry I had no idea... no clue...

Clu: (enjoying herself, hanging on his arm) But Rizzi i wazz with you all the time

Adi: Arjun! ARJUN! It wasn't his fault. I told him... STOP IT!

Aditya dragged Arjun away with some difficulty. Zoya was afraid both will tumble with all the struggle with Aditya walking backwards with a mad frenzied Arjun before he could turn him around and take him away. Zoya worried for Arjun. He was losing his cool too often. This was so unlike Arjun.

Arjun: (screamed back) I am going to break both your legs...

RRR: (timidly) Booked! By your bro! If I as much as breathed a word...
