Chapter 4

"Where's Manav?" Nandhini questioned, peering over her sunglasses.
"He's setting up a girl on the phone," co-worker answered with a small laugh.
"Him? No way!"
"You don't know these quiet guys, they're the sneaky ones."
Nandhini watched Manav as he ended the call and walked over to the work table. He moved the tools towards him and carried on with his work.
"Well, come on! We need to get going!" Nandhini moved the tools away from him.
"Tell her to go away," told Manav to his worker.
"I know how to get you out," she said, putting his mobile in her bag without him noticing. She walked away, leaving the two men to continue with their work.

Manjusha and Rasika waited impatiently outside the jail entrance. Manjusha glanced at her watch. "I'm going to be late for work," she added.

"Nandhini, stop playing around and hand me my phone!"
"Here. I only wanted you to come to the temple," she answered, handing back his phone. Iyer* completed his prayer and handed some prashad to Manav and Nandhini. She closed her eyes and started her prayer for Ganapati bappa.
"Iyer, stop," called Archana, waving her hand. Her soft call did not reach the Iyer and he walked away. Archana came and stood next to Manav. He turned and Archana pitched him a disappointed look. Manav placed the prashad gently into her open hand. She quickly moved her hand away and gave him a pained look. She walked to a nearby pillar and placed the prashad. It pained him.
"What are you looking at?" Nandhini asked.

*Iyer - Priest
