Chapter 2: The Subject
"Is Mr. Chopra is in?" asks a man in his mid 30s, all suited in black.
"Yes, do you have an appointment, sir?" says the receptionist lady.
Man:"Oh yes, I do. Tell him Mr. Patil is here."
Recep:"Sure thing sir, he's is waiting for you only."
Mr. Patil enters the room. Its a big office cabin with expensive decorations and a man who is looking at the big glass aquarium, blankly.
Patil: "Enjoying the view, Chopra?"
Chopra turns around. Dhanraj Chopra, a man in his 40s but still look quite mid 30s. Clean shaved and bears that edgy look. Wearing a rim-less glasses he looks suave and enigmatic.
Dhanraj with a grin smile "Fascinating creatures, these fighter fishes are. Fights and kills even its own siblings. No mercy at all. But the best part is they don't kill others if not needed, they just love to be the king of the arena, whether its a sea or an aquarium. Just like me..." the smile increases a bit.
Patil in a shaky fearful tone, "I find the connection amusing." Dhanraj goes to his bar in his room and makes drink.
"I didn't call you here for amusement, Patil. Drink?"
Patil:"Sure, no ice, only wat..."
D: "I know your choices well, Patil..." and he hands the drink to Patil, "...but lets talk about mine. What happened?"
P:"Court granted you a rehab in ICPMF."
D:"ICPMF?? But me no criminal, I am not. You know that Patil."
P: "I know, but court had a different notion on murders. They thought your testimony was not properly balanced."
D:"I didn't murder anyone. I saw it. Just saw it. But they are putting me in some nuts medical facility! Why they didn't hold on Rakesh?"
