This is the way

Few hours later; back in the MIB base at Snehatheeram. There was a man loitering before an office door, contemplating whether to enter the said office or not.

It took the person a good few minutes to decide, but in the end, he took in a deep breath and opened the door.

"Heyo, chief!" Lonappan waved his hand around as he greeted.

"Dang, that sounds nice. Keep calling me chief from now on." Ponnappan spoke with a smile on his face.

"Ha, you enjoy that shit? Then screw it. I'll never call you that again." Lonappan spoke.

"Dude! You're being real sadistic right now. Let this man enjoy such little things." Ponnappan spoke with a tinge of sadness in his voice.

"Then let THIS man enjoy his share of happiness as well." Lonappan pointed to himself as he spoke.

"Cool, if that's what is making you happy, then so be it. I don't wanna mess that up for ya." Ponnappan replied, still keeping that sadness in his tone.
