" Aman I think you don't know world fully now. She is working at mall such age is true. But you cannot see the depth behind it".Raj replied Aman while shaking his head.

"What do you mean by it".Aman asked really in confusion.

" In our Country, as a girl she is working at mall. It means she comes from a family where you are allowed to work it's own at such age. Not only Boys but girls also I think her family not poor. But maybe a rich or sensible family. Working at such age as a girl in our state as receptionist it is not easy as you thought. DO you understand know". Raj asked to Aman explaining his point of view on Lovely.

" Okay I understand that she comes from a rich family". Aman replied.

Aman ??? : " okay, okay I will go but need to tell why? Later".

" okay, okay now go". Raj replied to Aman.

"Yes, yes I am going". Aman said than got outside see whatever there carefully. While Raj paid the bill that is only ₹480. but before it was huge number for Raj to wasting it on outside food for one day. But now he is rich and will have more money in future.

"Don't you mean"Aman asked him as he realized what Raj is talking about.

Really there are some bikers standing outside of restaurant and looked at him strangely. Aman thought in his mind and now understands it's Why?.

"yes. they seem to see me unwrapping the newspaper that covered on the money I have and they are following us from mall waiting for perfect moment. When we leave this restaurant there will chance of snatching money from us and I don't think they will not snatch our shopping bags". Raj explained their intention to following them and it is for money.

" Aashish let's go and see who hell are they? I will beat them to death". Aman said angrily.

" Aman I know when it's come to fighting you are first who will stand. But if you can avoid fighting than don't fight". Raj said to his best friend who is now angry and aggressive.

Then Raj said again "not fighting does not mean we are cowards but clever".Raj said but interpreted by Aman.

How? Aman asked.
" According to me. If you can avoide fight than avoide it. What is meaning of wasting time and energy on someone we cannot fight".

"Why I think it more like humiliation than a clever suggestion". Aman asked to Raj who smiled innocently and said "Okay, okay. take the shopping bags to hand and let's leave this place".

" How we can leave this place? You, did not you say there are someone following us. If you go outside we will giving them chance to make move". Aman asked to Raj in confusion and thought in his mind "don't you said that I don't understand world clearly then what's wrong with head now. Are not you stupid".

" Of course we going outside by back door. Then took auto our homes and we can tell to that taxi drive to only on main road. Or we can also pass by town thana on the road. Raj replied to Aman question. Not knowing what is his best friend thinking.
