Chapter 123

Asking nicely!

Pramila had spent an hour and a half showing pictures explaining describing and convincing Mrunalini at 8PM on Monday evening

“It will not work for our family” Pramila spoke softly and kindly

Mrunalini nodded maturely

She was at Aatreya’s Khar East flat to pick up Jaidrith on Monday evening

He had gone back to work after bringing the kid home

“You are a wonderful girl… we want to raise Jai based on our culture” Pramila shifted uneasily

“U mean vegetarian”

Pramila did not nod

“He is a wonderful child, he is such a cute kid”

Pramila tried to fill silences with her words

Thankfully Mrunalini was not wearing a ring

“Uncle’s office there are many people from Maharashtra….”

Mrunalini looked at her confused

“Umm.. when”

“Oh no… no… no I don’t need your help in finding a man” she smiled

Quickly getting up

“Dhruuu Dhruuuu” she called out

“His father likes us for us to call him Jaya Drith u know… very powerful name”

“I named him” Mrunalini stood up for herself

Pramila was a bit taken aback

“I like you a lot, you are the best mother…” Pramila began groveling again

“I have to go… my vacation was long and… but fun” she giggled nervously

“Don’t tell Aatreya I requested”

“U didn’t request… oh… asking me to refuse his proposal? Oh yeah… he knows I have rejected him already”

Pramila smiled…. Relieved

“We are very old fashioned… what can we do” her expression was one of sadness

“I understand”

“Ur parents will come? I want to meet them… Uncle wants to also”

“Umm… they are busy…”

“We are grandparents… we have to stay connected… begin Whats App group” Pramila giggled

“Nah” Mrunalini was very irritated by this woman now

She got what she wanted now she was turning into the sweet teddy bear she was

“God how I hate her” her mind shrieked

“U have my word, I wont marry your son”

“Friendship is good… these days everybody has to be friendly… Aatreya’s athya… u know her daug”

“You told me this three times already” Mrunalini paced the room darting glances into Dhru’s room

“DHRUUU CHALLAA” she warned

“Jaidrithh” Pramila corrected her

“Excuse me” Mrunalini muttered

She spent 10 minutes in his room packed up his stuff and left mutteringa  quick goodbye

Bumped into Atreya in the elevator, just punched another one, ran into it and shut the door before he could realize

And took off
