Part 18
Sam arrived at an old, small house. Shree, chotu, and Karan were standing outside, waiting.
Sam asked, "Why are you guys standing outside?"
Shree replied, "Some lady in there wouldn't let us in."
Sam nodded, "Let me try." He knocked on the door.
A lady answered, "Coming!"
She opened the door and asked, "What do you want?"
Sam answered politely, "Hello, is you daughter home right now?"
She looked at sam suspiciously, "Who are you?"
"I'm her friend."
She replied, "She has no friends. I'm sorry, but you got the wrong person."
She was about to close her door when sam stopped it.
"Are you her mother?"
She rolled her eyes, "So what if I am? You're still not coming in."
Riya walked downstairs and asked, "Who is it, mom?"
She looked at Sam standing outside and blushed.
Riya's mom snapped, "What are you doing holding my door? Go."
Riya said, "Wait, mom. Let him in."
Riya's mom growled, "Fine, but only you. The three thugs outside will have to stay."
Sam winked, "You heard that, thugs?" 😆
Shree, chotu, and Karan nodded though they were pissed.
Riya looked at Sam shyly and asked softly, "Would you like something to drink?"
Sam replied, "No thank you. I..." He looked at Riya's mom who stood there with her arms crossed looking at them.
Riya said, "Oh. Mom, I like to talk with this guy without you here."
Her mom scowled, but walked into her room.
Riya fluttered her eyelashes and said sweetly, "My mom's gone. What did you want to say to me?"
Sam looked at her strangely, "Are you okay?"
Riya spoke softly as she touched sam's face, "Do you always look this hot?"
Sam blushed and thought 'Is she hitting on me?'
He asked, "She's your mother? Where's your father?"
Riya's smile changed to sadness as she replied, "My dad was killed."
Sam asked, "By who?"
Riya replied, "By the boss of KillSkies."
"How do you know he killed your dad?"
"Because my mom told me about it."
"But, do you know the boss of KillSkies? Personally?"
"No. All I know about him is he's a cold, heartless ba****** who killed my dad."
Sam thought 'It seems like she forgot about the past.'
"How do you know your mother was telling the truth?"
She looked at him weirdly, "She is my mother. Why would she lie to me?"
Sam asked softly, "Do you trust me?"
Riya smiled, "Of course."
Sam whispered, "Then, I'll tell you a secret. I knew your father."
She gasped, "You did?"
"Yes, but he wasn't killed by the Boss of KillSkies. He died because of liver poisoning. Your father used to gamble and drink a lot."
She glared at me, "Don't talk like that about my father. My mom told me he was a highly religious priest and he never drank."
Sam thought 'What kind of bull shit is her mom feeding her?'
Sam said, "Fine. Don't believe me. I guess I'll be leaving now."
Riya apologized softly, "I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."
Sam mumbled, "It's okay."
Riya waved, "Bye! Please come another time."
Karan asked, "So how did it go?"
Sam growled, "Her mother's been telling her lies about her father. She thinks her father is a priest."
Chotu laughed, "That old drunkard?"
Shree asked, "What else did you talk about with her? Anything special?"
Sam mumbled, "I think she likes me. She was hitting on me."
Karan smacked his head, "Oh great!"
Sam snapped, "But I don't like her. If you think I'm the type of person to steal a best friend's girlfriend, I'll kill you."
Chotu grinned, "She likes you? That's not a bad thing."
Sam berated, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Chotu explained, "It's actually quite simple. Apparently, she completely forgot about the past. Therefore, she only trusts her mom who's been telling her bullshit. However, since she likes you, you can gain her trust. Then, you tell her more about Boss and who knows? She might remember Boss."
Sam shouted, "You want me to go out with her?"
Chotu grinned, "It's not like you actually like her. You're just using her trust to help her remember about Boss."
"Then, you're saying I should be a manipulative ba******?"
Shree replied, "I agree with Chotu. Remember. You're doing this for Boss. Do you want him to stay in a comatose state forever?"
Sam reluctantly agreed.
