"May I come in Sir?" somebody knocked at the entrance of Office door.
Michael looked up from his files to see who It was at this time. It was already 8 pm & office hours were over. He was working late.
The frustration from his face changed into a bright smile when he saw his own brother Arun standing at the door.
"Arun, since when do you need my permission to enter? Come in." Michael said.
"I have to.You are such a famous detective.& now You are even coming on TV regularly." Arun explained to him.
"Stop being a jerk already. It's because of A high profile case of a murder of the famous Actress." Michael replied in a low voice.
"So how's the investigation going on?"
"No clue, Bro. You are the smartest person I have ever known. If any one can solve this,
it's you. Don't worry. You will crack it soon." Arun motivated him by looking at his tense face.
"Thank you. Why are you here by the way? Is there anything that you need?"
"No, I came to give good news. I have cracked a deal which I was working on for a few months. & by this deal, my business profits will go double in a few time." Arun explained with excitement which was clearly visible on his face.
"Ohh, Congratulations brother. I am very proud of you." Michael felt really happy. Arun really worked hard for this deal. So he got proper reward finally.
"So I am finally planning to chill now. Do you want to come for a movie & dinner?" Arun asked Michael.
"No, I have to solve this case soon. because this is a very high profile case, Too much pressure is coming from everywhere." Michael was anxious while saying.
"You will.Don't worry. Don't take too much pressure. So can I go for dinner?" Arun asked.
"Why are you asking for my permission? You can go anywhere.You are an adult." Michael asked with a surprise.
"Ya, I can. But I have to ask permission from the Boss of my Girlfriend before taking her out for dinner." Arun said with a smile.
"Ohh, Now I got it. So you were not going to take me anyway. I should have never allowed my assistant to date my brother. Take her.go now before it's late." Michael was happy for him.
They laughed & Arun went out after saying goodbye....
******************
Today was the day. Michael came home tired in the afternoon & laid on the couch. He had finally solved the high profile case which was a mystery for everyone. He was so relieved. He switched on the TV. The news about the murderer & story was going all over the news channels. He saw the time. It was 4 pm. He didn't know when he dozed off due to less sleep in the last few nights.
His eyes opened suddenly. He saw the clock. It was past 7. Arun was sitting on the chair & watching the news. The same news still was going on the TV. Seeing Michael up from Couch, he stood up & hugged him.
" I told you na. You did it,bro. Congratulations to you. You are the Best." Arun said emotionally.
"Ya, I am so relieved now. It was a very tense situation. But It was the most challenging case for me." Michael said.
"Let's go to the party tonight then. We have to celebrate your success,brother." Arun was already excited.
"I am too tired bro. I promise you we will go to a party on sunday. I will treat you wherever you want. I need a proper sleep after these many days & I have to get up early tomorrow to meet a client." Michael said in a tired voice.
"Are you sure na? where ever I want. Remember it. Now take a rest. I am pretty excited about sunday. Finally we will be able to spend some bro time after a long gap." Arun said.
Michael smiled & nooded. He was excited too.
"I am going out for dinner. I guess we will meet tomorrow evening only as you will leave the house in the early morning." Arun said while waving a good bye.
Michael said a goodbye. Little did he know that this was the last talk between them.
He won't be able to see Arun alive again....
