Here is another one for Vikas
Refusals & Offers
Appa and Amma planned to move to Rohini in March of 2017. Nivi was a fat 11 month old by then
Sam practically kidnapped her, whenever she called home, Mahavir complained in a accusing voice
"Unakey paas Laasyia hai to, phir hamari baby ko kyon lekar gayi?" he would ask the same uqestion everyday
If R&B was in town she wud text him
"Onnoda velaya da?" (did u take the baby?)
He wud sent a smiley face
"Yenn da?" she wud lament
"I had calls II"
"Where is Sofia?" she asked
"Around here... somewhere" he said
"She is getting paid to do NOTHING" II complained
"Chilll" he said
"Bring her back and give her to Mahavir right now, he is upset and crying"
He sent back a ROFL icon
"U sound like he is 5 years old and his toy was stolen by a neighbor"
II chuckled re reading her text
"Shut up" she lied
"Come home soon?"
"Edukku? U will be in the room twirling ur locks, she will wander the hallways... smearing every bit of dirt on herself, she ate Dad's shoe yesterday"
"CHEWED" he corrected her
"The fact that she made teeth marks means, she ate it" II argued
"Am I allowed to offere another analogy?" he CALLED to ask
"Shut up!" she ordered
"I have calls until 4 with Sukrit, will go get her at 5ish?" he asked
"What do u have to do between 4-5?"
"Are u Mrs Sagar now?"
"Chhhee paavam da... she loves u so much" II claimed
He grunt-chuckled
"She called me up today to eat some decadent killer chocolate" she explained
"Do they have someone new in the office?"
"YOUR office?" she took a jab
He didnt respond
"It still has YOUR name on it" she said cynically
"Huh" he said
"U gave it all up... but cant remove yourself from there" she said somberly
"I didnt work for it... I didnt earn it" he said
"Based on that u need to start charging the kids rent and board" she said
He was furiousss...
"I am actually on a call" he said
"U told me a few times" she said
"I dont get any of it, the way he runs it, Chacha's shenanigans, the sense of entitlement (of his kids)" he exhaled, trying to keep his cool
"and the ONE person that knows everything up close and personal, gets up and leaves"
"I am NOT his conscience keeper" (Ranjan's) R&B was pissed again
"U wud rather watch it all fall apart than step in and get in and exterminate"
"U watch to many soaps" he said bluntlu
"Dad is getting older u know... unko aadhe time pata nahi lagta phone haath mein hai... chashma sar par hai" "If he didnt have Imad and Dhyan hovering around him he wud be more lost"
"Was this a call to talk abt al this?" he asked, very squeamish at being told abt ranjan's mortality
A part of him did not care, because his mother did not get to feel the pleasure/pain of growing old
"Ur refusal (to help Dad out)and petulance just seems to grow stronger" she blasted him
"No... u are right, its abt bringing my daughter back" II said stressing slightly on the my
"She is with Sam' "sam knows who she belongs to" he said not ignoring the pot shot
"Fine... I will leave early and pick her up" she sulked
"If she lets u" he chuckled abt Sam
"I need another baby or need mine back" Ii said unhappily
"We could work on that" he said lazily
There was a beautiful silence in between when both visualized hand and leg crafting another one...
"One drives me crazy... I am done" she said smugly
"Dont complain later that "I" didnt offer" he said smugly
"Gee thanks!" she said biting on her lower lip to suppress a smile
"Were Samar & Trehan up there?" he asked unable to stop himself
"Yeah... they have offices now" she said bitterly
"Huh" he said
"I can go up and bring pictures for u" she said
'"I will take ur word for it" he said... blandly
