Realizing that Akash would have died if his boss had strangled akash this like, prasanth pleaded to his boss in a worried tone,

"Sir.. Please leave him.. He will die if you strangle him like this.."

Raghavan strangled akash as if he had not heard what Prashant said. Raghavan is on the verge of anger so he has no idea what he is doing. The thing he learned this morning was keep provoking his anger without let him to calm down.

On the other hand, Akash face reddened due to raghavan grip on his neck.. Raghavan tight grip makes difficult for akash to breath.. Inorder to relieve from his grip, akash tried to held raghavan hand which is holding his neck and tried to push him away.. No matter how hard he tired, he couldn't push away raghavan.. Akash eyes spontaneously moved upwards when he was completely out of breath as he embraced defeat.

Noticing it, prasanth shouted as he tried to pull raghavan hand from the front seat of car where he seated,

"SIR.. HE IS YOUR COUSIN.. PLEASE LEAVE HIM.. HE MAY DIE.. ATLEAST, LEAVE HIM FOR SAKE OF YOUR GRANDMA, SIR."

Anyhow, prasanth last sentence make raghavan to loosen his grip.. Prasanth let out a relief sigh when raghavan lossened his grip.. Prasanth know that he used weak point of his boss.. He know very well that his boss grandma very fond of her grandchildren's. She wouldn't bear it that one of grandchild killed another one.

However, akash used this as an opportunity and got out from raghavan clutch.. He leaned the car seat weakly as he coughed severly.

Seeing akash condition, prasanth quickly took a bottle of water from the car and gave it to Akash.. Akash bought the bottle and drank the water as if he had not drank water for many years..

All these time, raghavan silently watched outside scenery through car glass as if he had nothing to do with whatever happening inside the car.. Regardless of raghavan lack of emotion towards to him, Akash told raghavan in complaining tone as he return the empty water bottle to prasanth

"Bro.. You are such an evil.. jeez !! .. If your P.A had not stopped you, I would have left this world by now.. I couldn't even imagine that what would have happened to my girlfriend's if I had died because of you.."

Raghavan glared akash by hearing akash last remarks.. As the result of raghavan blazing glance, akash raised his hand in the way to indicate that he is accepting his defeat and commented in a irony tone as he take out liquor hip flask from his pocket,

"eek !!.. Please don't give me that look, bro.. I'm stating a truth.. You have to accept that I'm more famous and handsome than you "

After saying it, regardless of raghavan furious look, he opened the hip flask elegantly and drank half of liquor in a single gulp. Then he leaned on the car seat with closed eyes and begin murmur something himself.

Meanwhile, the driver started the car as per Raghavan's order. As the car began to move, Prasanth sighed in relief with the thought that the fight that was supposed to explode has ended without any abolition.

As they are about to reach destination where meeting is scheduled to take place, unexpectedly akash spilled liquor on raghavan as he shouted in slurred tone,

"Fuck off you, raghavan!!.. Who the hell told you to say my whereabouts to lavanya ??."

After saying it, he grapped raghavan shirt collar and murmured repeatedly same sentence,

"Why did you make me to met her ?"

Fuming raghavan removed akash hand from his shirt and pushed him away forcefully.. As the result of his powerful push, akash fell down on the car seat as his head slammed on the car window by making "tsk" sound.. Akash cried out weakly and blabbered as he rubbed his head,

" Ahh.. Someone save me.. This devil, monster, beast, rogue, brute raghavan breaking my head.. Oh my dear head.. Don't cry.. Don't cry.. Don't cry.. Ahh.. Mom, Its painingggg.. Don'tt.."

Akash blabber began to diminish to the point that others could not hear his blabber. On other hand, raghavan slamming his fist on his lap as he streched his neck in cardinal direction.. Prasanth whole body freezed when he saw bloodshot eyes of raghavan who is roaring like a lion to beat up his opponent.. Prasanth tried to speak up for akash as he gathered the courage,

"Sir.. That.. you know akash sir won't behave like that.. The liquor he drank may make him to do it.. Even if you beat him up now, he won't feel any pain as he is fully sobered now.. So, please wait until he sobered up.. please don't beat him up now,sir"

Raghavan clenched his fist with jutting chin as he tried to control his anger.. Driver speed up the car as per prasanth gesture and drived the car into hotel parking area.. At the instant driver parked car in parking area, akash got out of car speedily and ran to the hotel as if he didn't sobered.

Prasanth opened his mouth in shock when he saw the akash who got of the car, and looked at raghavan through car rearview mirror. Prasanth felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water over him when he viewed enraged raghavan.. Prasanth got out of the car in lightening speed when he heard raghavan shouting,

"What are you looking at my face.. Idiot, Go and get the room for me to change this stained dress.."

Prasanth ran into hotel to get the room for raghavan.. He went to hotel front office and booked the room for raghavan.. After getting the room key, he went to parking area and hand over the room key to raghavan..

While cursing the akash, raghavan get out of the car and ordered prasanth,

" Go and tell board of directors to wait for me.. I will be there in 10 minutes.."

"Okay sir.." Prasanth nodded and replied in submissive tone as he hand over the bag to his boss.. After getting the bag from prasanth, Raghavan entered into the hotel.. When he was about to enter the elevator, he warned prasanth,

"And also say akash not to come in front of me if he don't want to die in my hands "

Prasanth nodded as if to acknowledge his warning. Prasanth grinned brightly as he looked at the number on the elevator panel. He was as ecstatic as though he had dispatched the demon to hell. He was happy, without knowing that this happiness of his was going to disappear in a little while..

Raghavan opened the hotel room door using the key he have and entered into the room..

He kept the bag with the spare set of clothes that he always carried in his car for a busniess journey in case of an emergency. After removing the stained clothes, he entered into bathroom, unaware that the event that was about to occur would transform his life.
