Sewayin & Shaadi
"U cant do that boss" gags shook his head with a troubled expression
"Arey I am not proposing to date and abandon her" Neel said
The men walked a few blocks from their home, on a muggy and moist Sat morning
"She doesnt seem like the casual dating type" Gags said stepping to the side to avoid cars
"Amma met her yesterday, without asking me first, she had some tickets to an art show at her alma mater, Preet ne diya unko" Neel said
"Who knows yaar what she keeps doing" Gags chuckled
"Amma wants to talk" Neel said
"Kya kehna chahta hai? Ma se main baat karoon? Suvi ko main mana karoon? ya shaadi ki baat karoon?" Gags threatened
Neel squirmed
They paused in the middle of the road
"I KNOW its not a casual thing for u, main tujhe kabse jaanta hoon? 3 mahiney? April? March?"" Gags said thoughtfully
"I feel liek I am cheating, I have Nupur's pictures all over the house and at my desk" Neel said begging for help
Gags placed a hand on his shoulder
"She will be a part of your life dude, isme koi doubt nahi hai, bus abhi aage badh"
"I somehow think its all knee jerk" Neel mumbled
"Its not, bas TUJHE nahi dikh raha hai ab" Gags said
"She doesnt want to get married" Neel said
"I thought that was YOUR excuse" Gags mocked
Neel glared
"Sorry sorry"
"She probably thinks all men are jerks" Neel beat himself up
"No she does not" Gags said confidently "she is a single Mom, if she apears like she likes men, then some miserable piece of shit will lure and rape her" Gags said
Neel could feel rage frothing up inside him for the guy that suggested a threesome with Suvi
"Men are looking for a good time... u are? were? too... except u are decent enough to admit it," Gags said
Neel bristled
"I didnt want casual sex and walk away" Neel was offended
"Atleast thats the reason u used nahi? to push her away" Gags said
"she reports to me, she is a single Mom... she married an asshole once, what the heck am I supposed to say Gags?" Neel stopped on the road
"Naraaz mat ho saale" Gags patted his back
"She was too tempting to ignore, but ur guilt wudnt let you admit or explore... so samajh gaya main.. toone usko is liye keh diya ki tujhe shaadi nahi chahiye" Gags explained
Amma stood outside the gate, haggling with the milk packet guy
"Kal do packet kharab nikle" Amma accused
"Auntyjee... sir ne kabhi nahi kaha, ek aur aunty hain na woh kabhi bolin " the boy argued
"Aaj 4 kg liye, yeh lo paise, kal ki baat Monday ko karte hain, Neel daftar mein hongey" Amma smiled
The boy glared at Amma and sulked at Neel
"Kaun aa raha hai aaj?" Neel asked
"Hamey bula lein aap aunty" Gags said
"Zaroor beta" Amma said
"Sewayin" she smiled
"Koi good news hai?" Gags asked pointedly
Neel blushed
amma saw that
"Aap batayen hamey" Amma countered
"Chaliye karte hain shaadi ki baat" gags said
"Banda khara hai saamne, invisible nahi hai" Neel shouted
"I met who he likes" Amma said
Neel blushed again
"Oh teri... balle balle... band bajwawan? "Tolkee?" Gags back slaped Neel
They all sat in the tiny front lawn on the wrought iron chairs
"She is very somber" Amma said
Neel smiled knowingly
"shaadi ke baad Neel ke sangat se chulbuli ho jayegi aunty" Gags smiled
Amma squirmed
Neel "Probably not" Neel said
Amma wondered if Neel said that for the wedding or for the probablity of Suvi not changing
Amma pretended to remove droplets of frost from the Mother Dairy pouches she held in a veggie basket
Nihar had woken up and wandered to the glass sliding door of the living room
Listening to it all
He turned and walked away without greeting his Dad or Amma
