Living Diagonally In My Parallel World!

“Think think think. I need to get out of this.”, I kept on reminding myself. It started just a few weeks ago. Thanks to the goodwill of my father Sakharam More, I had been able to join the police force as a constable and thanks to my glib talking I made few friends. This helped me in earning that much needed extra money for my expenses. Life is too short and has to be enjoyed at the fullest. It was a surprise that I ended on the right side of the law.

I was responsible for collecting hafta for Viju Dada and also manage his cash deals. My life in Aurangabad was shaping well when one day Viju Dada & I got arrested for murder. It was a deal that went awry. We were to collect money for the white powder when the other party started an argument. One thing led to another and soon bullets were fired killing one of their men. I managed to grab five lakhs and ran away. No longer had I handed over the cash to a friend for saf
