How many which ways to (not) go
He filled his cup of espresso, and sat down to eat
"Why cant u stay here and go back once a month?' she demanded
"Really?' he asked, shook his head and was quiet
Mahavir brought his breakfast...
"Mushroom daale hain" he said
R&B nodded a wordless thanks, and cut it up deftly... the help brought three kinds of ketchup
Mahavir brought some hash browns next.. a bird's nest like disc...
"U understand business... u went to Grad School..." Manny said
"U cud sell cars too" he reminded her
"So u dont want to sell cars?" she asked offended
"I did not say that" he said eating quietly flipping newspapers, finding the right one
"U get a free pass in this house dont u?" she asked angrily
"I do?" he sniggered
"Ofcourse u do... u dont return after Bachelors, nor after Masters, start ur own company... date who u want... marry an Iyer" "Nobody ever says anything to u"
"I dont see u being prosecuted" he said bluntly
"Really? Shaadi kar le. Vik kya karta hai... go complete ur Ph D... Why do u need a 4 months vacation?" Manya dumped on him
"None of it came from me Manya" he said coldly
"Do u ever think about whats going through Dad's mind?" she asked changing her track
He didnt respond
"U come and go as u please, here for 7 months gone for a year... get married stay for two, gone after... do u think Ma would have liked us treating him like that?" she accused
He didnt respond to that either
"Mahavir please mujhe chai denge kya?" she asked softly
"Je didi " he nodded kindly
He served another omelette to R&B, more toast...
"This is the most dysfunctional our family has ever been" she said sadly
"I disagree" he said
she looked up at him sniffling
"The night Ma passed" he said
"So u wont ever come back?" she asked
"I DONT know" he said honestly
"Agar Sam kahegi to bhi nahi?" Manya asked gasping for breath as she sobbed
"why Sam?" "Stop crying Manya" he said softly
She got up and walked over, he stood up too... and hugged her
Mahavir brought water
"I know u like her more" Manya pointed
"Idiot" he cursed
"Dont lie I know u do" Manya said hugging him
"U smell like ur wife... like a flower" Manya said stiffening
"Thanks" he chuckled
"U like her dont u?" Manya pressed
"Who? II?" he asked
"Nahi... SAM" she yelled
R&B offered her the water
"I love u too" he said
"ME TOO... Not ME" she said jealous
"OK I love you and love Sam too" he coddled her like a child
"Aur wife?" she asked
He didnt answer
It was private...he didnt care to tell Manya... he would tease II at night... instead
"I think II hates me" Manya said
"I bet she does..." he said sniggering, not having a clue
"Will u come back if Sam begs u?"
"Manny cut it out" he ordered sternly... hugging her gently
"HOW is ur wife letting u go?"
Ummm thats between us...he thought
"Dont tell me she is yet another Jor Bagh and Aurangazeb Rd wife? After a point they only see the shopping and the bling" Manny said
"I am not telling u anything" he muttered
"Even she is not protesting?" "Dad ko poochha maine... he is not saying anything...
Tan says I shudnt stop u... Sam is too angry to talk about it... what the heck u jerk" she stiffened
He reached for her hand as she pulled away
"Who would have thought this is how this how will be in 2015" Manny cried
"U need to relax alright?"
"This is it dimpal... this is all I have" she cried softly
"U make so much money.. why cant u retire?" she asked
He laughed out loud... "U think I am returning for money?"
"U must be worth Rs 1000 crores or more or what?" "U can sit on ur butt the next 50 years" Sam speculated
"somewhat like that... but no..". he said shaking his head gently
"Dad bought ur shares didnt he?" she asked sadly
He nodded...
"Ma would have hurt badly" she cried
"she would have" he nodded agreeing, his head bent in grief

Suman walked in with the boys at 6:27, she heard them in the hallway and chuckled
Bally came too...
Her head hurt because she slept on a bunch of comforters last night...
She wondered if she should do pizza or take the boys out for dinner
Sam was dropping Nandu off, she was also picking up Shravu... she begged if Lasya could be part of the deal too
"Neki aur pooch pooch?" Sam giggled
"Uske paas swim suit hai?" she asked
"Only a dozen" Sam said guilty...
"Lets do this, aap Nandu Shravu ko laayen, I will bring the boys... we will play in water in the evening"
"Come over here Ishita... we have a pool" Sam urged
"Umm... no I have it all planned" she lied
She knew Sam's MIL didnt like her
she didnt wnat to be there
"U guys get out and go have a date" II ordered
"what abt u?" "Tera miya ja raha hai" Sam reminded her
II nodded tearing up...
"I know that" she said
"sorry love" Sam begged..."Too late I know" Sam said somberly
SORRY U DIDNT STOP ME FROM MARRYING THE GUY?
SORRY U DIDNT STOP HIM?
SORRY U DIDNT FIGHT HARD ENOUGH?
SORRY U DIDNT FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SCANDAL?
II shook her head fighting tears...
Lasya was home wearing a lil red white and blue stars & stripes bikini, her hair tied in red, white and blue clips.
She ran to grab her from R&B, he lounged on the couch... trying to do a inflight crossword puzzle in the ground floor living room
Lasya reached for the disco green mechanical pencil
"CHO CHWEET... " she chuckled
Lasya didnt care to be on his lap any more, just like all babies she wanted to be with someone standing, not with someone sitting
II cuddled her smothering the fat cheeks...
