At Parents' & in Paris
Tan found out soon after, he came and took over the call, Sam sat on the edge of the bathtub and whimpered
"Kya hua jaan?" Tan scratched his shiny head
"Hes such an asshole" Sam cursed
"Abey HUA KYA?" he yelled into the phone
"Ask your wife to stay out of this" R&B said accusingly
"Saale BEHEN hai teri, SAMJHA?" he yelled, feeling a surge of protectiveness for the already beat up Sam
"Uh... um... I am sorry, its 4 AM TAN" R&B was annoyed too
"To theek hai na, DHANG SE BAAT KAR" Tan yelled
"He thinks he is done with her" Sam shouted
Tan shut the large bathroom's twin glass doors
"With who yaar?" Tan hit speaker and barked in general
"II AUR KAUN? Ek aur biwi bhi hai kya?" Sam accused
R&B groaned
"f**k!!!... man!!!" Tan was shocked
"My head is hurting, if you guys are done I am going back to sleep" Tan's quiet BIL muttered
"Sach keh rahi hai kya?" Tan charged
"II hasnt gone home abhi taq" Sam choked and gasped
"KYA BAAT KAR RAHI HAI" Tan didnt believe her
"I went to see her after her return from Chennai, she gave me sarees spoke really nicely to me, shes been seeing Dad every day at Spectrum the last three weeks, but GHAR nahi gayi" Sam said vengefully
They heard R&B exhaling
"Did u know about this? Tan asked fuuurious
"Umm... no... not what Sam said" R&B practised some of II's slimy lying moves
"Genius Sam ki baat nahi kar raha main, alag honey ki baat kar raha hoon" Tan pressed on
"Like I said to Sam, leave the goddamn thing alone" R&B was angry
"HUA KYA?" Did she fall in love with the movie's lead or something?" Tan was baffled, he looked at Sam
"I DONT KNOW" sam shrugged helplessly
"Kya hua saale" Tan questioned
"Like I said, I will call you when I want to talk abt it..." R&B said
"Alaga ho raha hai?" Tan asked in disbelief
"She is at her parents I am in Paris. Thats it for now" he said
"I always thought your quietness meant composure, but it feels to me like its devious insensitive behavior... so u can do devious and insensitive things" Tan corrected the grammar carefully
"Sam" R&B reached out
"Usko kaho baat nahi karni mujhe
Lasya screamed outside pounding the glass door
Sam got up and went to open it
"Do what u want man" Tan said hanging up

There Akka was grilling II
"He hasnt spoken one straight word to me in 4 weeks" II sobbed
"What happened?"
"I DONT know... the last time we even talked sanely to each other was, umm... when I went to Chennai the first time... oh sorry, no... even before that" II sounded dazed
"How did all this happen?" Akka was shocked
II's fave pod swing was in a back balcony now, it was three times the size of D II balcony, Amma's washing machine was there to
II swung, as the cane creaked...
"I cant seem to get through to him "I told him Sofia didnt care about II, he said did u want me to quit my job and be a house husband?" Ii was weepy
"Tch tch" Akka whispered
"I asked him if he wanted to go with me to Chennai, he refused. I dont know... maybe him and Marliese have hooked up again?" II spoke emotionlessly
A ball of fire lumped up in Akka's belly
"Ayyoyo" she whispered
"Who knows... this is a man that rarely talks" "i feel bad for Appa, he has been watching Nivi for 3 weeks now" II said snorting, and sniffling
Akka later went to work in a daze, II went to work
Sam showed up at her office at the lunch hour
II literally ran into her
Ranjan got off the ground floor elevator and grinned happily
"DONO?" he smiled
II was terrified...
She had cried a lot in the morning, when Appa was doing pooja, Amma had left for school
She looked gorgeous though in a silver kurta and purple chudidaar
"I thought I should have lunch with her" Sam came up with a lame line
"Karo jee karo, jaroor... inse to ab apptt lekar milna padega... maayke jo rehti hain" Ranjan teased
II was ashamed enough not to be able to make eye contact
