Sethu, i've been searching for u. I've been wanting to come for a month, but never found time.

I'll be returning only after some days.

Should i pay ?

- No need. Please note that.

Shall i make one more?

- Yes, one more... No need.

I've to tell u something personally, Sethu. I met Dad at the junction on the way

After all I'm ur bro-in-law ? Shouldn't he show me that much respect, or atleast courtesy?

Maybe Dad was in duty

-What 'looty' ? Here, i tell u..

i'm not the type who barges into places uninvited. i've self respect.

i'd planned to take the next bus back. but decided not to for ur sake. Ramanan is full of love !

Oh,I know that.

- Atleast u're on my side. everyone else has forsaken me.

why'd u leave ur job ?

-i can work with sincerity, but not as a slave. if superiors try to rule me, i cant bow down to them. They pay me only 1200 rs.

would that suffice to even smoke cigarettes? i need a job that pays ten thousand a month.

Dint u try to clear ur tenth grade exams which u failed?

-Nope, why ?

if there are openings for Collectors, Chief secretaries, u should try for them.

Krishna, bro ! i have good news.

- What is it ?

Were'nt u criticizing me and calling me stupid? well, here's the interview letter for Sethu.

Oh,that's what you meant ?

-why, arent u happy about it ?

Achu, i came to know this before u. Devi knew it before noon. We're done celebrating, too.

I see!

Devi made excellent palpayasam. If there's any remaining, ask Bharathi to serve u.

So only I was uninformed. Is the rascal here ?

how long have u been praying? lets go

U never let me pray if i'm with u. U're always in a hurry.

-What do u pray so much about?

Whatever i wish.

-what did u pray for? i heard u murmuring a lot.

Was chanting mantras.

-U shouldnt be chanting whatever u think.

So tell me what u requested.

-Interview should be smooth, selection should be done quickly..

Then ?

-Then, he should take me with him as soon as possible without problems.

Oh, i agree. As soon as training's over, next day we shall marry. And after 9 months, 10 days, little Sethu will be born

We dont need a kid so fast

We shudnt postpone it much. Following year, a small Devi, then small Sethu...and within 100 years, we'll have our own Kaurava army

I have 300 rs, is that enough?

-More than enough for 2 days.

I hope u've taken care of everything?

-Dont worry about that, Dad.

i came 4th in physical test, dint i. This time, i'll atleast come 2nd, if not 1st

Number 2 also means the toilet.

-Get lost.Cant u stay at home? Y did u tag along?

Came to send sethu off. I'm his only bro-in-law.

U dont need to come Dad, i'll go myself

-Keep this if u need it. Dont waste time, now leave.

How dare u use my car as if u own it?

U cant park here sir, see the 'no parking' sign ?

So what? if i've to visit this shop, where else do i park?

Why'd u shove the constable ?

-He used my car's horn without my permission.

Move ur car away.

-i need to visit this shop.

i say, move ur car u rascal.

-what if i dont intend to ?

Move away.

-Raju, leave him. It's embarassing.

Sir, this is the MLA's son, Raju.

So what, does he make his own rules. Tell him to visit the station, i'll give his car to him then.

U went overboard.

Sir,he pushed away the police constable. just cos he's MLA's son, isnt he subject to rules?

U'll screw up my career. I've barely 6 months left, dont get me suspended before that

Sir, dont be afraid.

-He brought down a ministry in a single day.What do u think will happen to this station?

Hello. Yes Sir, Sub Inspector speaking. It was a mistake, I'm innocent.

Head constable no. 2624, Achuthan Nair. Sir,please dont create problems.He's a naive fellow.

He received good-service medal twice. Yes Sir,I'll tell him. Thank u.

U're safe.Quickly take the car over to that guy's house, and apologize.

Me ?

-Who else? Dont waste time, make it fast.

Over my dead body. I've worn this uniform for 25 years. I respect it.

If I've to resign because of this incident, I will. I can manage with my gardening, Sir.

Ur Dad made a very stupid mistake. What's the big deal in apologizing to that guy ?

My Dad will not bow down before everyone.

-Great. Let him suffer now.

There's no suffering in this. At max, he'll lose his job, that's all.My kids know how to live without extravagance.

Krishna, I dont get why u say this.

-I only ask u not to be stubborn.

That MLA rogue screwed it up. We got a message in the morning..

I would've made it a case.

Shall I talk to them? Let's try to solve it like that?

-I already told him, bro.

Not needed. U want me to apologize? That'll be over my dead body.

Past 9 pm.My stomach creates gas problems when i starve.I'm used to having dinner at 8 no matter what.

Serve them food. Where's Lata?

-Inside.The kids are worried after hearing this.

Why dont u say anything? Dont take it seriously.I'm worried only cos u look perplexed.

That MLA rogue screwed it up. We got a message in the morning..

He has not ordered me to be beheaded, has he ? Either transfer or suspension.

Its a transfer.

-Dont care which world I go to.Atleast I can work.I'm not particular about working here.

Ramapuram, u know nothing of that place! There's no station with more criminals and cases.

Goodmorning, Sir.

U can relieve me now, cant u?

-Order states u've to join within 24 hours.

Why 24 hours? New place isn't America, is it?

There's a way out.Apply medical leave with yesterday's date.

Within a week,I can sort it somehow.I can make someone recommend for u, or meet MLA personally.

Hand me the relieving order, Sir. I'll join in 6 hours.

Ramapuram, u know nothing of that place! There's no station with more criminals and cases.

My 1st posting as ASI was there, and I'd a tough time then.Better not go there.

Are'nt the policemen there like us? If I die there, so be it. I can proudly die in my uniform.

Who asked u to act smart?I'm alive,I can pick up the phone,ok?

-Hello.Anyone dead? Ok, who's speaking?

If he cant state his name, then why'd he bother calling?

-What is it?

A market fight.What can police do about? What must be fought, must be fought out.

Which group? Keerikadan Jose or ..

-Who cares? If any of them die, it's a relief.

Whoever dies, take them to the hospital before 5 pm. I dont want to guard corpses at night.

Yea right. I know that during guard duty u end up sleeping at home.

Greetings.

-What do u want ?

Punishment, eh. Yes. Isn't SI in town?

Why do u need SI to join? The ASI will do.

-I simply asked.

SI is in the hospital.

-What happened?

Someone beat him up in the night. He was alone on motorcycle.

Dont be scared.If u play safe there wont be problems.

Have u heard of Keerikadan Jose ?

-No.

I see. Will introduce u later then.Give the joining report and sign in.

Hameed, pass me the register.

They dont allow us to stick Jose's photo.He comes himself to tear it out.He was punished for a few murder cases.But family is rich and famous.

Drink up, please.
