Chapter 1:

Akash

That time, my vocal cords didn't deceive, my mind coordinated with my thoughts and my actions were in place as I'd expected. I was yelling at the top of my voice hysterically and immediately without a delay, both Sandeep and Rajeev closed my mouth and held me in place tight. It's not a comfortable position and definitely not a welcome to be manhandled by two men. I became uncontrollable and was shaking with inexplicable fear. The masked man removed his mask. I stood still looking at him. “Karthik??” I whispered with a huge shock. My voice was barely heard and was shaky showing fright in it. “Thanks for your cooperation for acting at night Mr. Rakesh. Thanks again for arranging the artists and the police station set. Bye Sir.” He was over the phone, my cordless phone. That insolent jerk! He disconnected the call and grinned at me devilishly. I turned to look at my other two friends who were already laughing silently and upon seeing my expression, they burst out laughing. Rajeev was laughing so bad that he was clutching his stomach. He was literally on the floor. He made the ROFL expression come alive. Now Karthik joined them and was shaking horribly as though he would die any moment had he not laughed. I came to senses slowly realizing none of that was real. The murder, the police station, my arrest, my imprisonment, those jerks had planned all that on me. They made a fool of me!!! “What the f**k!!!!!! All this was a prank???!!!!” I shouted in frustration. “Hey, smart guy!! You realized so soon?” said Karthik and was guffawing loudly. I closed my eyes and breathed heavily for one long minute. I opened them slowly and saw Karthik approached me, sat on my bed, pulling me next to him and said slowly, “It’s really a prank dude. We've totally forgotten to give you an April's fool this year. That's the reason we did it now. We didn't want to hold back. We can't disappoint you now, can we? Also, our reputation was at stake. Geez! How can we ever live up to that? What would our friends say about us? Couldn’t we even give a touchdown fool to you?” I punched his arm with all the strength I had and shouted, “You fooled me that day already you dogs! You f**king idiots!!” “Oh!! Did we? I don't remember that man. These days we're becoming Ghajini you see!!” Said Karthik massaging his arm where I'd punched him. It served him right. Idiot! How dare he say that it was all a prank!! I punched one each Sandeep and Rajeev too. Blithering idiots, all of them! “Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others. Sometimes it happens, buddy! Chod de!” said Rajeev ruffling my hair like I was a puppy. I pushed him hard shouting, “You're a dog. You rascals, jerks, fools,” I continued swearing at them for few minutes until I got it off all from my chest and started hitting them with the cushions that were on my bed.
