Chapter 11: Collecting Reward

Ramesh grabs her arms and starts dragging her. She just starts walking without asking any questions. “Where are you taking her?” I ask. He doesn’t reply. “She has to talk to the manager to collect her reward” someone from the crowd replies.

Everybody is following them. Many push past me and soon I can’t see my wife. Somebody grabs me and pushes me to the ground. I fall before I can understand what is happening. And people start walking over me.

Then somebody picks me up by the collar. I realize he is one of Ramesh’s bike gang. I don’t remember the name. He starts pulling and I try to free myself. He slaps me hard on my face and starts dragging me towards the manager.

“Hey! Where were you?” my wife asks and adds “I am about to win some reward”

The manager interjects. “No, you have to prove to the whole bar first!”

“A lot of people saw it” my wife replies.

The manager shakes his head.

“Don’t worry we can do it again in front of everybody” Ramesh says. My wife’s eyes widen in shock but then she relaxes.

“Please let’s just go home” I beg.

“I can’t. I have to win this thing” she says.

“Fine”, the manager says, shuts off the music and starts speaking into a microphone, “The claim has been made that all-time record in lemon breasts has been broken”

He looks at my wife and asks, “do you accept the challenge to try this feat, if you win, you win the reward or else the punishment “ he says like this is a WWE match.

“Punishment? What punishment?” I ask.

The manager covers his mic and says, “You have to answer ten questions and...”

“She is definitely going to win” Ramesh interrupts and tells my wife, “Just say yes”

My wife immediately says “yes” into the mic.
