Chapter 2 1.

RUKH

"So are you ready?" asked Sanjana and I nodded. William nodded in excitement while I sighed deeply. Once again we are going to commit a sin. Let's get ready!

"And what about Brittany?" asked Blade and Sanjana glanced at Brittany. Her lips pouted and she shook her head.

It was really a stupid question!

"Idiot! Are you crazy or what? Today's her birthday, for your kind information, Blade-,"

"No no! Brittany's teddy!" William laughed and so Sanjana did. Brittany's cheek turned red and she bit on her bottom lip.

"Whatever! It's her birthday so today she isn't going to do any bad work. We'll do it, don't worry!" all of them nodded and Brittany passed me her toothy grin. Thank God, she was happy. It's her birthday and she should smile today. No matter what happens, she only has to smile.

"But Rukh! Try to understand!" Blade objected and a small pout came to his handsome face. I do not understand how these couples exchange such habits. He was never a pouty guy but after coming to a relationship with Brittany, he got her habit of pouting.

I rolled my eyes. Sanjana shook her head and muttered, "Then don't come with us, simple! Stay here with Brittany. We'll be coming soon after completing our task."

Bad idea!

"Are you sure?" his eyes gleamed and a huge grin appeared on his lips. Oh boy, I understand only it was your motive! I knew you were dying to stay with Brittany especially when we are not here with you.

"Um... I don't know. Kindly ask Will, he's the leader." Sanjana pointed towards William and he looked at me.

"What?" I looked at him.

"If you don't mind. I see you're annoyed once again." I rolled my eyes and replied, "I really don't have any problem. I'm pissed off because I didn't have my breakfast, so just stop matching stupid reasons with my anger, got it?"

He chuckled slightly but stopped right after I glared at him. He then nodded and sat on the bed. I moved towards the edge of the bed and heard him saying,

"So, we're heading towards al fresco, okay? There we'll catch a prey and will attack him."

"Oh that's good. Let's go then." Sanjana chirped and looked at me. I nodded but can never forget what I have to put before them.

"And then we'll give it back to the owner, alright?" I looked at all of them. Sanjana and Blade looked like they agreed with me but Brittany and William just rolled their eyes at me.

"Sure why not? We'll-,"

"Why should we? How will you return it and to whom? To its owner? That sir, take your car which we stole for fun, now our work is done, then we have to give back to you with a true heart, so funny, Rukh!" Balde objected and his voice was loud.

I am really scared because I do not like when someone shouts at me. I get easily scared but I never show it.

I kept a emotionless face and narrowed my eyes at William. He is watching like I am creating a drama here.

"Look Blade, she's right. We're planning to steal a car only for Brittany because it's her birthday and she wants to go for a long ride. We can't really keep the damn vehicle with us, do you understand?"

I hope now something will crash onto Blade's thick skull. I admit we are thieves but we steal only to fulfill our needs, not our wants. We can never steal just for fun. It is enough to fill our stomach by committing a sin like stealing. Thinking more than this will awaken our greed, which we beat to sleep.

So why do you think we are not greedy? Everyone in the world is greedy, friend, we just do not want to dirty our heart by awakening that greed.

"This is a very bad plan. Even if we return, to whom? Stealing a car for the first time just to give it back is a good joke." He rolled his eyes and I am feeling like scratching those balls out.

Anyway, control your demon, Rukh, which is not that harmful.

"Have we been bitten by a mad dog who goes and surrenders to the law? You slept at night when Will was telling us that we would secretly keep the car where we stole it, understand?" Sanjana made him understand and I sat on the chair. My shoes were under the bed. I pulled them out and started wearing them. I am truly sick of Blade's stupid brain. His brain is brand new because he never used it before. You have seen a demo a minute ago, right?

"Okay! Just be careful the police won't reach us." He muttered and I rolled my eyes. We fear as much as he fears. Why would we concede ourselves?

Wearing my shoes, I got up and looked at all of them.

"How do I look?" I asked, showing my outfit.

"Rich brat!" Sanjana winked in my direction and I did the same with a grin. That is how we do have to look. Rich people and the people who can afford to go out and drink coffee in a cafe.

Idiotic idea! I wonder why people do not make coffee or tea in their home when there is magic when we make it at home?

I am saying this because Sanjana makes the best tea.

Coming out and finding a filled and chirping al fresco, we start planning. There are two alleys after crossing the main road and these are not even so far. The alleys are dark and nobody is currently visiting them because of the winter season. Only people who live there visit and I can be certain that they are busy at home.

Nobody would even come out if people shout 'catch them'. Oh trust me, we are so famous that people follow us and shout 'catch them'. It is funny!

At present, there are not many vehicles running on the road. Even if we ignore it and run away, then our accident is not going to happen. Thank God!

"Look at the man," William said and we followed his gesture. Our eyes fall on a man. He is wearing denim, jeans and a jacket with a white shirt. Good taste! The blonde man is drinking his coffee and reading a newspaper. A really good habit, I must praise! He looks rich because I immediately recognise the expensive wrist watch completing his white wrist and also the shoes.

I am not rich but I know what rich people prefer. We have been doing this work of stealing for three years and we have been seeing they really prefer rich things even though they work just like less-priced things do. Just a difference of brand, and nothing!

"Good, he's no partner," muttered Sanjana and I nodded, adding, "And the key is resting on the table."

"Lemme check if it's a car key," William says. "And... if it's a car key, then I'll... I'll...."

"Scratch your neck, idiot! We'll get it!" Sanjana muttered. "Oh that's good! She's right. Scratch your neck."

"Fine then. I'm going. Watch everything carefully." We nod and he leaves. He walks towards the table on which the blonde guy is sitting.

"He's handsome, by the way," I heard Sanjana and I nod. I really did not check on his face because my whole focus was on William.

He goes there and tries to pull a conversation. He has an advantage of his innocent face which is not smug like Balde's and it is good. A good point is that people easily believe in him.

Soon, he starts scratching his neck softly.

"Okay, wait in that alley," I point out at an alley which is not so far and silent. "I'll give you the keys and change my direction, understand? Behave like I pushed you because you tried to catch me if you see him behind me, okay?"

She nods, "Yeah!"

I nod and leave. I walk towards the table as I hear, "Careful," by Sanjana.

The man's table is on the corner, so if I walk by his side, he won't get suspicious.

I casually by his side while William is talking to him, probably telling him something important. I know William is even saying something important to him.

As I walk past him, I silently and casually take the key and cross the road. I do not find him rushing after me. I think he did not even realize. That is good!

"Hey! Isn't he behind you?" asked Sanjana and i shook my head. She grins and we rush towards the parking lot of the al fresco. They have a parking lot for the people who come by car.

When we point, a car starts beaming and we hurriedly open the door and sit inside it. Thank god, the security was not so high otherwise we would be crying right now. We drive the car away and I wonder if the man is still sitting there in his seat?

Who cares?

Crossing the main road, we reach an intersection. There we stop and wait for William. He rushed towards us as I watched his reflection through the side view mirror.

"Well, the car is good. I don't think it's new." I nodded with Sanjana. She was right. I look out through the window when William reaches us and he is panting heavily.

"You know, he did not even realize we stole it," he chuckled and we joined him. He then opened the door and slipped inside while he drove the car towards our apartment. Brittany and Blade must be waiting for us.
