Scent of Love
She ate watching Non stop Hindi songs channel
R&B came in and leaned on the door jamb
Both hands tucked into his pocket, Mahavir was having a ball feeding her
Rati Agnihotri's Solah baras ki baali umar ko salaam played, she stopped eating to watch. and began to hum softly
"Main pyaar teri pehli nazar ko salaam"
Dil se nikalne waale raste ka shuqriya
Dil tak pahunchne waali dagar ko saalam
"Its hard u know, two things I love the most eat and talk, dono me se ek ko kaise chunoon?" she would ask
Jisne hamey milaya
Jisne juda kiya
Us waqt
Us ghari us dagar ko salaam
AND
She would proceed to draw parallels
"Its like reading and listening to music, tum kya chunogey?"
He would nod and smile, agreeing
She had the most disarming way of arriving at simple solutions to life
"Meri saanson ko jo mehka rahi hai"
"Yeh Pehle pyaar ki khushboo
"Tero saanson se, shaayad aa rahi hai"
He noticed her toe ring clad feet tap the marble in rhythmic beat, she never sang off key
"Shuru yeh silsila to
"Usee din se hua tha"
"achanak toone jis din
"Mujhe yoon hi chhua tha"
"Lahar jaagi jo us pal tan badan mein
"Aaaj bhi mehka rahi hai"
Mahavir placed another roti, she turned sensing someone watching her
And quietly turned back to her plate "Bahut tarsa hai yeh dil tere sapne sajaake
Yeh dil ki baat sun le meri baahon mein aakar" Mahendra Kapoor sang
Pretended to eat
"Yeh aankhen bolti hain
Jo hum na bol paaye
Dabi woh pyaas mann ki nazar mein jhilmilaye
Hoton pe teri halqi si hasi hai
Meri dhadkan behakti jaa rahi hai"
She paused waiting for him to leave
He stepped back
Tuned the audio to surround sound
"Is mode se jaate hain
"Kuch sust kadam rakhke
Kuchh tez kadam raahein
Mahavir watched her walking quietly by her husband
Pathhar ki haveli ko
Tinkon ke gharondon tak
Is mode se jaate hain"
She made her way up, through the back stair case
"aandhi ki tarah udkar...
Ik raah guzarti hai
Sharmaati hui koi kadmon se utarti hai
In reshmi rahon se
Ik raah to woh hogi
Tum tak jo pahunchti hai"
He used the grand and made his way up sooner and met her at the top
She walked by him again without looking back
"Ik door se aati hai
Paas aake palat ti hai
Ik raah akeli si
Rukti hai na chalti hai
Yeh sochke baithi hoon
Ik raah to woh hogi
Tum tak jo pahunchti hai
Is mode se jaate hain
Is mode se jaate hain
Kuchh sust kadam rakhke kuch tez kadam raahein
She went to her balcony, went to the wall unit and turned off the music
"II" he called
"I am just going to go to bed" she said softly
Pointing to the bedroom
He sighed audibly
"In 5 minutes?"
She shook her head the two giant eyeballs floated in two sparkling pools
Ranjan walked up
"Arey gudiya, tayar hokar gayi, khaakr nahi aayi?"
She composed herself
"No Dad I was too tired to eat" she smiled
"Bata to de raja aage se" he smiled caringly
She nodded
"Paranthe khilaye dekh lo, kuch aur vi nahi bana us se" Ranjan cursed
"Bay ka angular extension waala email dekha?" he asked R&B
"I did" R&B nodded politely
"You are saying 9 bays are too much he is offering to do 12 bays"
For remodeling the Gurgaon workshop...
"The SUVs are bigger, unless u want to fit compact cars in them then 9 bays should be fine... pushing it" R&B said
Ranjan shook his head wearily
He trusted Chachu's judgment... he had no choice, Chachu wanted over 30 extra bays, by encroaching on a two acre piece of land on the back of the lot
He knew some Hissar MP he said
Ranjan wasnt too crazy abt it... sigh!!!
"Tan se baat ki, uska koi jaankar hai automotive construction mein, woh Japanese clutch maker ka dost"
"All the new guys we worked with for the new workshops dont do renovations" Ranjan explained again
"I couldnt... tonight" R&B said quietly
"I will talk... its between ur civil engineer batchmate from high school
(thats why R&B 's even involved all over again), Tan's construction buddy, and Chache's umm"Ranjan swallowed instead of saying "crooks".
"Haath kaisa hai?" he asked
"Better" R&B waved
He had ONE clear band aid
Arunima had enquired and he explained, II saw that, leaning over the bruised palm, caressing it with her curve
II slowly slithered out of sight, shutting her eyes
And went to bed
He stayed up in bed reading hoping she would turn off his light as she did always
"I am burning all ur books, throwing away all the bed side lamps"
Umm..mmm
She was fast asleep in less than 5 minutes
He set his tome aside and bend down on her face, and kissed her forehead a speck of chocolate smudged her chin, he licked it off, she smelled like the spicy scents of Iyer "Deepavali" and Mysore sandal soap from her face wash tonight... a soft groan escaped his lips compressing her smooth cheek momentarily, comforting and safe😭😳
Turned his light off, and wrapped his arm around her
He was up before her working
"I have a student now, Amma says, she will be home at Noon I can get to the doctor's appointment at 3" she peeked into the office
she spoke unmindful of if he was on a call
"Can we talk?" he asked
"Nahi" she said quietly, and went off to give THE VERY FIRST voice lesson to a young 8 year old
RK Puram girl by the name Kalyani (This one is for you Columbia!!)
