Mysore Maharaja & Murukku
He was entrusted with the task of driving to Rohini and picking up his brood from the Iyers
He dreaded it already, as he walked down the grand staircase, every step had a toy, a book or a binki or some random object
He was sympathetic to all the help, especially Mavvy
The dogs scampered up and sniffed his feet
He picked them up "Missing them huh?" he asked them kindly
They frantically licked his face
The moment they noticed he had the keys in his hand
"Do u want to go?" he asked
They waged their tails like they were keyed up toys
He opened the back door and let them get into the Toyota Land Cruiser, James sat on Sahana's car seat and growled
"Yeahh show her whos the boss" he chuckled
Mavvy came running outside
"Bhabhiji ne kaha 4 baje bachon ko laayenge? Abhi 6 baj gaye. bache nahi aaye?" he said
"I am sorry I had calls" he said
"Abhi laayenge?" he drawled
R&B nodded, just as the gates opened and Ranjan's car slid in
The black Merc drenched in rain
The guard opened the door "Bache kithe?" he asked
the dog got out and barked and wagged
"Mainnu ki khabar?" he scolded them
"Inko vi leke ja raha hai?" he asked smiling cuddling Chuck
R&B nodded...
"Beta gaadi bahar laga de" he handed his key to a guard so his car could be pulled out so R&B cud drive his SUV out
"Mrs Iyer ko kehna woh yaha ruk jaayen beshaq ek hafta... lekin bache nahi ruk sakte raat ko" he warned R&B
"Understood" he nodded smiling
II texted "Dey kozhandel enga da?" (where are the kids)
"I am heading out right now" he said
"Paavi" she cursed
Mr Iyer stood outside on the elevator area... walking around in circles... holding one edge of his veshti, pacing the floor waiting for the elevator so he could go down to the maintenance office and request help for a locked door
His banian stained with many colors
When the lift sang and stopped he was startled to see R&B
"Um... hello... yes yes... umm... u are late" he said grumpy
R&B nodded "I am sorry sir" he said
"Madhu is inside" he said pointing to the apartment
He nodded
"they are extremely naughty I say" Appa said loudly
R&B paused not knowing if he shud be happy or upset
"I mean... I have seen naughty boys... but the girl?" Appa was shocked
"Umm u have a stain " R&B began
"Yes yes... I know I know... they locked the pooja room.. now it wont open" he said waving a finger
The boys opened the door, or Amma did
Sahana crawled out first, followed by Sid, then Ved
The dogs ran inside sniffed everything, scampered out and wagged their tails by R&B's feet "We have everything we need" lets go James said
"Fool... we dont have the oldest" Chuck said
"Oh yeah... we better ditch the youngest and grab the oldest" James said
Sid and Ved and Sahana were all perched on R&B
"Come in" Amma smiled
"Avan kitta sollitten... enna paadu paduthina nu... teriyattum" (I told him what terror these kids are) Appa sulked
"I am sorry they locked a door" he said
"No... no... dont worry" Amma said
The house smelled like II to him
Sahana was down... chasing James
"Anga vichirke nee Bala mami kovil samaan apdiye talla pora" Appa shouted (Bala Mami's temple things are by the wall this fatso is going to shove it all)
What do u know... Appa was indeed clairvoyant... a bunch of brass plates and bowls and and pots... were sent crashing
Sahana watched stunned as every shiny well washed gold like brass object scattered as James tipped the edge of the stool
James and Chuck went beserk barking
Nivi came out with a book in hand "Daddeee" she smiled
"Thatha pussed the door amd it got BWOKEN" Sid explained to R&B
"He is lying I say... they were touching the bell the lamp and al I said no, and shut the door it self locked" Appa argued
"Avan OKKARATTUM FIRST" (let him sit down) Amma hissed
"Aathla 8 mani neram okkandu book padikaran... oonjal la... Nivi oda neruthindu irukalam... vanarangala irukku...
idula nai vera" (he sits on the swing and reads all day, he shud have stopped at Nivi SUCH MONKEYS!!) Appa sighed
There was finger paint art work strewn all over the floor Sahana grabbed James by the tail and tried to stand up
"I cant believe I missed YOU" James yelped
He sat down staggering as the boys pulled him down
"Thatha mont take us for eyekeem" Ved said waving a dirty finger
"U have a cold dont u?" he whispered
"Paati cam I have a muwukku" Sid got off his lap and went to beg his grandma
"He ate ALL the murukku" Appa said his eyes shone with fear and outrage, as if Mysore Maharja usurped the entire state of Tamil Nadu
R&B cudnt control his smile
