Chapter 16: The Web of Lies

Just then, Tarun got a call from Yashi. Both friends advised him not to pick up the call, but he received it, saying she must be feeling regretful and wanted to say sorry. On the call, Yashi was unhappy about the last night and wished to meet him, so he invited her to his place. Both Sagar and Mohit got angry at him for inviting her, and Mohit suggested they should first hide these things and that Tarun dared not tell anything about the last night.

Yashi arrived. She pleaded with Tarun to forgive her and agreed that it would not be repeated in the future and started shedding tears. Sagar calmed down the situation by announcing to drink. They all started drinking and enjoying. Mohit, in the middle of drinks, asked what happened to her today that changed her mind, as Yashi on the other night had called Tarun a loser and claimed not to meet him again. Yashi replied that her mind was changed by Mr. Jaichand, who lived on the ground floor. He, on the last night, saw her and Tarun fighting near his walkway on his personal CCTV footage. He asked her today in the morning about all the situation, and after knowing, he advised her to talk to Tarun as all the fault was hers and say sorry to continue the relation. Tarun, in panic, asked her if he had his personal camera in the walkway. She nodded and said, as he lived alone, he also had fitted a camera in his room. Tarun, with a gesture, told the other boys that it was the same person whom they had robbed; they all became agitated. He again asked if Jaichand had enquired something about him. Yashi, in a favoring way, said yes, he was concerned about her and told her to call him if the situation didn't go well, as he would come to manage the situation. All the boys got terrorized by knowing that the man knew them. Yashi also claimed that she had told him the address of their building.

Sagar, in anxiety, yelled at Tarun, but Mohit calmed him and the situation by saying that alcohol must have affected him. Tarun sent Yashi away and told her to meet next day as the situation here is not good. After she left, Sagar, in fear, started blaming both of them, reminding them he had instructed them not to indulge in this work. He said Jaichand would not spare any of them. Mohit stopped him and said, "Let's compose our minds and think what to do". After a couple of minutes, he claimed that it is true the man knew everything about them, but he still couldn't do anything as the money and the ruby were not obtained righteously. Sagar suggested they should return the man's belongings, but Mohit rebuked him and said they should not let this opportunity slip from their hands and immediately manage to sell this ruby first. He suggested they could sell this in Chandni Chowk, but it could be risky with a ruby of this worth. Tarun claimed that they could take the help of Anant. Mohit declined him, saying they could not trust him as during college time, Anant only worked for his profit and could easily betray them if he got the chance. Tarun replied, there is no one other than him whom they knew who could help them in selling of this ruby, and they would have to give some share to him and achieve the deal. They all agreed to him.
