Chapter 58

11-29

“I doubt its that way” Atty was irritated that Lynn would accuse Mendy of having the hots for Mrunalini

Not because he was jealous but because he believed his friend would never do such a thing

“You trust him too much” Lynn wiped away angry tears

It was not his night so he didn’t have Dhru but was going to stop by to say hello after dinner with Mendy’s girls

“Chachu, can you take us out to buy us ice cream” Ira demanded as he kicked a soft rubber ball across the terrace

“After dinner sure”

“You are not going to like it because he is your friend”

“You are mad, don’t do this urself Lynn” he was angry shaking his head

“He brought me flowers you know WHY?” she wept loudly

“Mum don’t cry” Ira was embarrassed the terrace was connected and a neighbor from two buildings down walked his dog ON the terrace!

“Go away” Lynn sniffled

“He cares for you and is in love with you”

“No he went to her house and invited her to go on Saturday to YOUR company offsite”

“SO?” Atty was confused

“Uska company usko kidhar bhi nei bhejega” she was disgusted

“Stop it” he warned

“I am tired of this… I wanted to buy Mrs Gomes flat usko bola mei, chal re Mendy le lete hei”

“This house is great”

“two bedrooms altogether smaller than her house”

“is it?” Aatty lied

“Jhooth nakko haan?”

“Its fine ur house is great”

“The living room is 1/4th the size of hers, the two bedrooms together are smaller than HER ONE, and she has soooo much extra space” Lynn was visibly upset “Mrs Gomes did that extra wall and put like a shit ton of cupboards, she has no husband no other kid”

“She needs to find both” Aatty laughed

“she has such an attitude” Lyn tipped her nose up to show him how arrogant she was

Atty squirmed but did not counter

“I doubt he has anything going on with her, you need to chill” he squeezed her arm

“U don’t know Mendy… he didn’t bid on Mrs Gomes flat because he thinks I keep asking asking asking”

“No”

“How do u know”

“I bet he wants to buy u a nicer flat”

“Kidhar re? We have been here 10 years, first society was saying they are going to gut and rebuild nothing is happening, Mrs Gomes ka society mein they did it like 10 15 years ago”

“Let me talk to Mendy”

“Usko nei keh re I am suspecting him”

“Why would u tell me and not him?” he asked her grimly

“I just think he has a soft spot for her”

“He thinks she is his sister”

“Har koi aisa sister bolega to main kya ullu hei?” Lynn was more

 Irritated “I wasn’t born yesterday man”

“K stop crying, I hear footsteps”

Lynn just leaned on his arm and looked out toward the road

“Man if u want to have an affair with my wife, pele mere ku bolne ka dude”

Mendy brought a large pot and balanced plates and 

silverware on top

Atty helped him serve the biryani

Lynn ate quietly

“Tereku kya hua?”

“Nothing”

“Isko bhi leke ja offsite”

“I already have a date” he winked

“ARE YOU DATING?” Lynn was happy again

“I am hoping to”

“Bacha aage show kar he is cute women will swoon” mendy talked with a mouthful

He looks like HER” Lynn reminded

“Wai to”

“Who is she?” Lynn pestered

Atty showed her the picture

“OMGGGGG SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL” Lynn went extra to prove Mrunal was nothing anD Shyamal Mehta was the bomb

Mendy rolled his eyes

Atty chuckled meaningfully

“See THIS would be the right person for you”

“Tu cupid hai?” Mendy mocked her laughing

“Kyon? Nei hoyegi mei cupid?”

“Arey he is 33 he can find his love”

“As long as its not umm.. u know… ahem… u know” Lynn did a lame nudge nudge

“Oh teri… tu wicked hei rey”

“U like her na… tujhe happy honey ka”

“ITEM” Mendy laughed again

“I will tell Mrs Gomes how…” she stopped

“I told u, when our society rebuilds terek u new flat milegaa” Mendy was irritated

“No I meant selling it to strangers”

“Stranger nei hei, its his ex and kid” Mendy laughed

“I LOVE that kid”

“We get it we get it, tu chup ho ja re”

“So snooty” Lynn had to say it

“Thank u” Mendy was pissed but did not make a big deal in front of kids

Atty knocked on Mrunal’s door around 9:15

“Hi!” “I was at Mendy’s for dinner, is Jaidrith up?’

“Dhru is doing HW”

She never called him Jaidrith

Whats up with this guy?”

He was dressed like a rich guy, simple casual yet stylish

Mrunal was in her night clothes, an old tee over a salwar

They checked each other out

“U can bring him and show me thru the door” he mocked her for not opening the steel gate

She moved it back and forth squeak squeal squeak

Kirti peeked thru a slit

“Has he had dinner?”

“Not yet I just picked him up” she leaned on the wall and watched him walk by

He paused and turned

“You don’t like my visit” he smiled wickedly

She turned scorching red

“Umm”

“Ha” he laughed at how right he was

“Its late” she muttered

“Ah that’s what it is?”

“Yep”

“K”

“If u can make it quick?” she whispered

“No” he said firmly

To her it sounded like “I am going to take ALL night to pleasure you”

“I will try.. I am slow” he laughed

“10 minutes” she said

“30” he said unfazed meeting her eyes

“11” she countered

“29” he said and looked into her eyes for an extra second and left her fuming
