based on a conversation they had in the Chettu Kinda Doctor songĀ
āNee problem ento telusa?ā [Do you know what your problem is?] asks Deva, removing the stethoscope from Dasās chest.Ā
Das shakes his head, wondering what ailment he had now and how Deva had suddenly become a medical professional.Ā
āNeeku brathakadam teleedu.ā [You donāt know how to live.]
Das blinks at the other man, who then starts laughing at him. He frowns. How dare thisā¦ thisā¦ criminal come into his shop, threaten him, and then tell him heās not having a good time?Ā
āNenu mee laa kanu sir. Naa life calm ga, santhosham ga undalanukunta. Brathakadam teleekapoina brathikinchadam telusu.ā [Iām not like you, sir. I want my life to be calm and happy. Even though I donāt now how to live I know how to save lives.]
Deva fixes Das with an intense stare, making heat pool uncomfortably in Dasās lower stomach. (Itās just nerves, probably.)Ā āBrathakalanunda?ā [Do you want to live?]
Suddenly, Deva grabs the collar of Dasās button up and yanks him over to his side of the table. Deva moves his face toward Das, angling it in a way that looks likeā¦ a kiss.Ā
Das stops breathing, alarm bells in his brain ringing and then stopping as their lips get closer and he canāt think about anything else other Deva. His eyes are fixed on Devaās red lips, and what it would be like to taste them. A smaller part of him is screaming about the morality of kissing a criminal, the ethics of kissing a patient, and the wrongness of kissing a man, but the larger part of his brain is just on standby. Waiting, to see what Deva will do, how this will all play out.Ā
Their lips are a centimeter apart when Deva pauses, and Das, after a few moments of trying to parse through the brain fog, looks up at him for an explanation.Ā
Almost immediately, Deva pushes Das off of him, laughing nervously.Ā āGold gaadu Golde mari.ā [āGoldā is really gold, then.]
Das has never been more confused in his life, and he went through medical school. Did Deva just try to kiss him? And then try to play it off as a joke? Did Deva really have feelings for him or was this all part of Devaās teasing? Das recalls what Deva had said right before. (Brathakalanunda?) Was this just another normal day in the life of a mafia boss? Did they just go around almost-kissing people for fun?Ā
Das shakes his head to clear it, and decides to ignore the incident, that would be the best course of action for his sanity. He canāt let Deva know he got to Das.Ā
Meanwhile, outside the clinic, Deva stands, panting. What the fresh hell was that? Heād always considered himself a little crazy, but what impulse had made him try toā¦ kiss Das? And the worst part was that Deva still wanted it. He still wanted to go back into the clinic and push Das down and kiss him until his lips bled. When Das had looked into his eyes after the pause, Deva had felt a jolt of warmth down his spine, a longing that he didnāt even know he could feel.Ā
Donāt get attached, Deva,Ā he tells himself. Das was just temporary companionship, and would likely get himself killed by association sometime or later. Then why did that thought make him so afraid? Why was he always following Das, knowing when he was in trouble and needed to be saved? Why did he come over to the clinic every day, citing wounds that had he been on his own, wouldnāt have even thought of treating?Ā
Deva sighs, and walks over to his car where his men are waiting for him. He canāt afford to be thinking of Das when there are bigger threats in his life. He canāt resist a last look towards the clinic, though, wondering what Das thinks of what happened.Ā
