"Dont go"

She took Nivi for a stroll after dinner, Pammi went with her too.

They were getting ready to leave
II was bummed, she was getting used to having people stay at MM

The house was huge with 10s of bedrooms and 4 people including a 1.25 year old

"My clinic is being run by Jr Docs" Pammi giggled
"U shud transfer ur practice to Delhi, Dad knows many Dentists" II said confidendtly

The kids began to snooze after trying to kill each other from their respective strollers

"Jaggi cant move" Pammi made a face

"Delhi is hot and muggy, and rains too much, but its magical" II said

Pammi nodded

"My in laws are there too... they are like Sam di's in laws" Pammi said quietly

II felt awful

"I like her FIL" II offered

"Mere to FIL bhi ainvayin hain

"I am sorry" II made face

"Its OK... its not going to change, Beeji is very good" Pammi smiled


Nitin snored...

"waapis chalen?" II offered

"This is like Chandigarh Cantt, mere parents hai waha... I love Chanakyapuri" Pammi said with longing

"then move here, u can live with us"


"Chachi will feel bad" pammi said

II's face fell
Chachi was everywhere, into everything, now she was stealing II's fave people too?
CHACHI 420
II cursed

"Do u go to ur parents house when R&B travels?" Pammi asked

II was startled

"Umm... no..." she said

"Beeji said Mamaji (Ranjan) was by himself" Pammi said harmlessly

"My Appa hasa bad knee, Amma meri teacher hain KV mein... she goes early and comes home late, Gurgaon is closer to Rohini by Metro so I stayed" II ended up explaining herself

"Mamaji must be alone nahi?" Pammi insisted


I KNOW DAD IS ALL ALONE
I DIDNT CHOOSE THE SEPARATION
UMM... WELL... HE DIDNT CARE IF I RETURNED OR NOT
I WENT TO MY PARENTS HOUSE AS A DARE
HE NEVER BOTHERED TO CALL OR CONNECT
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT IS TO BE MARRIED TO A ALOOF MAN
IF WE DIDNT SHARE A CHILD
I WOULD STILL NOT BE HERE
WHO KNOWS?


"I LOVE Dad" II said defensively

"Woh aapko both chahte hain" Pammi smiled gently

II nodded selfconsiously

"And Sam" II said, not mentioning Manya cautiously

"They are all good , Jaggi was saying he was shocked R&B married a South Indian" Pammi chuckled

"They thought he would marry a French woman?" Ii asked quietly

Pammi froze

"U know?" she asked

HE LIVED WITH HER FOR YEARS
HOW WILL NOT?

"Umm... haan" II nodded akwardly

"I am happy he chose an Indian girl"Pammi was all nationalistic

"His French girlfriend is going to angry"II giggled

They turned around, talking about movies and TV shows and actors

Jaggi and Beeji and Ranjan were outside the swamp cooler was running

R&B was upstairs... not in the balcony...

Too hot for that...

II was tearful, she wanted Beeji to stay

She was hoping to throw a tantrum to make her stay

"So gayi gudiya?" Beeji asked longingly

"Nitin ki cheli hai Beeji" II warned

Ranjan laughed hysterically and breathlessly narrated a bunch of things she did during the day

Ranjan didnt care if the people he was narrating to, happened to be watching Nivi do the antic


"Le jaayegi beta?" Ranjan asked

II nodded

She went up and lay her down on her crib
The house was cold and scented
There was no air outside, it was still and smoky and 40C

II showered and changed and wandered to the office he straightened upon seeing her lowering his book

Beeji had scolded R&B, earlier that evening in the kitchen...

"Araam naal puttar, kudiyan phoolan varga hondi ney" spotting a bruise on II's neck

Embarrassing II HUGELY

Thankfully Ranjan or Jaggi were not around

PAMMI WAS

She smiled mischievoulsy and slithered away

"Jee" R&B had nodded

"Mainnu dass... gudiya" Beeji had blown air kisses like Ranjan

"Jee"II nodded selfconsciously quickly covering up the love bite with her dupatta


"Did u know they are leaving?" Ii asked fighting tears

"I did" he said softly

"Nobody told me" II began to cry

"what happened?" he was shocked

"Umm... nothing..." she sniffled and laughed and wept all at the same time

"II?" he insisted

"I was getting used to them I guess" she said, wandering into the office and leaning on the giant oak desk

He nodded

"Its like the house is so huge... there is only 4 people... woh bhi... umm" II paused

She didnt wantt o bring up the separation

"Thats not very many I agree" he nodded

"Now dont say even YOU have to go soon" II sniffled, pretending to joke and yet bringing up her greatest fear

"i wont" he said quietly

"Wont what? she challenged "wont say it? or wont go?" she asked

TWO MONTHS OF SEPARATION
IS ALL IT TOOK FOR YOU TO REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH HIM
JEEZ II!!
HOW WILL YOU EVER...
DO U HAVE THE COURAGE TO ASK HIM WHAT PISSED HIM OFF SO MUCH?
YOU TWO CANT GROW APART ALL OF A SUDDEN COULD YOU?

"Its very hot outside" she said

"I wondered... it doesnt look great" he said trying to look past her toward the giant French windows leading to the study's balcony

"What time do u want to go?" he asked

"Kahan?" she asked

"To Rohini" he reminded

"Oh haan... um... 8 baje?" she said

He nodded and smiled.. pleasantly


II went to bed after checking her email...

Coffee & Cars

Not fighting was a bigger problem than open all guns aimed war they usually had.
There was no shelling no injuries no hurt or pain or repenting just a unusual calm and polite stranger like decorum between the two

The surface was scratched earlier in the afternoon when he chased and pinned her down looking for his phone
What lay underneath was steamy and delicious and addictive

But to taste it was all they could do, feasting on it would require shredding the facade

She went to the living room and curled up on the couch like a kitten waiting for the human

He found her asleep an hour later, while going to bed

He brought Nivi to her at 7 AM

She made a face and turned and buried her face into the back of the couch, he let Nivi suck and nuzzle her back

"I give up" she whispered rolling back

"Amma tediniya dee?" she cooed

Nivi smiled and looked up at her Daddy

"Do u want me to take her down?" he offered politely

AND BRING ME COFFEE
AND CUDDLE WITH ME

She nodded hugging and kissing her tyke before letting go

"Po dee Dadu is going to go to see his friend, tag along or throw a hissy fit" she chuckled
Nivi acted like she would tag along

"IKR?" II winked at her

He BROUGHT coffee up 20 minutes later

She heard the sound stainless steel made against wood and woke...

Her coffee sat begging to be sipped

The foam mile high and frothy on the tumbler

The scent wafting to her nose

"did u make it?" she asked staring at it longingly

HE SAT DOWN ON HER SOFA

"Did u want me to?" he asked


Sipping his espresso

"Umm..." She sat up primly " Main espresso kaha peeti hoon" she said quietly

"Friends are meeting at a pub to watch European soccer tonight do u want to go?" he asked'
"Only if I am allowed to switch loyalties" she bit her lower lip chuckling (she didnt care which team won, she just wanted to be on the winning side)

"Works" he nodded softly

"Nivi?" she asked

"Beeji is home" he said using the word home again... after eons


She was ready in 30 minutes, he had given Nivi a quick bath downstairs and she was dressed too in a purple cotton/handloom lehanga and a pink sleeveless blouse

She even wore dark pink bangles in her fat wrist

She showed II her new accessory when she went down for breakfast

"CHOOO CHWEEET" "Yaar kudutha?" Kollu paatiya?" (she nuzzled her doll) (great grandma?)

"Dad aap bhi chalenge?" she asked, to Rohini

"Amma ko keh idli tayar rakhen maine jaana hai aaj kal mein hi... aaj main Bhatia nu milne Pandara Rd ..." he said

Going to Rohini was always a mission

Now was no different with the semi separation, reconciliation

Amma greeted them warmly

II searched for Appa, he was in pooja

Amma brought coffee

Appa ended his shloka half way and got up to chat

"How is your father?" he asked R&B

R&B nodded "Much better Sir! Thanks" he said

"U live so far away... for old people its difficult" Appa sat down making a face as his knee killed him

Nivi walked to her Thatha and handed him his glasses first, and then the newspaper

Appa was overjoyed

He yelled to his wife "Paaru dee, thatha paper padippa teriyardu paar" (she knows)

Then proceeded to explain animatedly how she w2atched everything the two months II stayed in Rohini and still remembers

R&B was a lil upset his daughter liked Mr Iyer

Appa gathered her and sat her down on his lap and looked at her lehanga and her bangles and her fountain Amma had pinned flowers as soon as she held her grand daughter

II always stuck a bindi when she wore Indian clothes

Nivi looked like a doll

She started sucking the newspaper

R&B stuck his arms out

Nivi turned AWAY!!

"Will u be back in a week?" R&B asked politely

"I dont know, how much my brother needs me, I am retired now, I have to be of service" Appa explained

II brought badam halwa for her husband
He shook his head

"U dont even want a lil bit?" she asked

He wasnt thrilled abt the Iyer idea of chowing down dessert at 10 AM

"Appa can I take u to the airport?" she asked

"No kanna I will go to Janaki's and then we will go" Appa nodded

"Will u be here for a while?" Appa asked R&B straight up

He nodded

II checked on the condition of her Appa's knee and Doc visits and physical therapy
And the articles she had forwarded to him on the topic and his exercise regimen

R&B acted like he was busy texting his partners but couldnt NOT listen to it all

She had asked him about his elbow and had let Mahavir go and had dressed it last night and this morning
YET Appa made him jealous

"Its just a frickin knee" he thought to himself


"With a young child... its a constant run around for her only" Appa appreciated his daughter tactlessly

Amma slapped her forehead SPLAT!!

Appa was defiant

Amma had been observing II's body language to understand if all was well between the two
She couldnt tell thus far...

"Amma I have to go to work." II said quietly

"U can in separate cars?" Amma asked shocked

II nodded confused

"Ayyo" Amma whispered inaudibly

Separate cars?

Huh!!
Hmmm...

""Not fighting was a bigger problem than open all guns aimed war they usually had.

Perfect description of a Ceasefire at the line of Control/ Border. No firing and shelling , a period to see if a truce can be worked out as a permanent agreement to settle the dispute. I can't think of a better term than this at the moment for the status of this couple

Well scratching the surface has made them more desperate to go plunder ... So is it going to be game night of both pubbing and plumbing tonight to check if the parts,pipes and tubes are working Allright?! 😉

Appa can't stuff his face enough with the ghee in badam halwa after the ghee tempered adai . Overly sweet and over kozhuppu totally overwhelmed with how his grand daughter remembers things from her two months stay at Rohini , getting him glasses and newspaper on one side and on another side he has his kozhandai caring for his knee and health... He is choked with all this ghee and so he decides to part away with a little extra portion of that ghee by pouring it to dude's fire in the belly. Now that's called 'eriyara kollila ennai' or aag mein ghee . Appa with his broken knee is shooting for 'gold' in para olympics for the handicapped 😆 . If anyone deserves an award for hitting a home goal with impeccable timing, it's Mr. Iyer and Mrs.iyer can't do enough to bang her head here ... I think Mrs. iyer you should stop feeding him with immersed in ghee halwa and Adais 😛 and dude, fully fueled is blowing Enough heat through his ears now. Not only his wife, his angel also is giving him grief at his enemy quarters

That description of Nivi , her lehenga, that cute fountain, bangles . 👏 . She like her Amma must be looking million bucks attired that way with flowers on her kutti hairdo and kutti bindi. But just goes to show how kids absorb and shower love with such an open heart to embrace people

But if we look at this carefully Nivi is showing them the way for her thatha and her Daddee as to how they should be... Lessons are there to be learnt... If only they care a wee bit to learn... Sigh.

A little extra effort to normalcy is also romance. .
Loved every word of it. Froth is the coffee , and foamy is the cushy sofa. Every word 👏 Coffee on the couch. Sweet !
And II ... When he's asking you ' did you want me to make coffee''... She deflects the qtn . The three letter word 'yes' is missing in their dictionary.
