So true...
😊

sonal: You are right, what we see is never what it is
such is life actually...
A random encounter with a female hotel employee triggers unwanted memories in Ranjan
He can run from it, he knows it
His life will never be the same
So will his kids' unfortunately

Just when I thought all the running around was done, we had to go to my teen's parent teacher conf
It went well, I was happy, returned home was happily discussing his results and also sharing about how one parent was complaining about his daughter having "senioritis" and how her grades were falling and how she was
not turning in homework(just to warn my 8 year old that his laziness will cost him when he gets to high school and that he needs to finish his homework daily)
School does not penalize him so he is very cool.😆

My teen mocked me saying "U actually peeked into someone's report card, and are ridiculing some poor kid in my class to get ur high?"

I was deeply hurt...

Sometimes kids are totally cruel and insensitive

I told him the parent SHARED with me

I havent said a word to him since

Such is life I guess...

I am off to write the next chapter

So relatable Nisha...lads can tell us the most adorable things and charm us one minute and taunt us with equal passion that the hurt simmers and brews within...🤗to you

Vidya

They are so smug and cocky when they are teenagers
They dont think before they speak
Being good in academics is important, but being thoughtful and kind is more important
Even tho he is our child we cant aprove of everything right?

There is a proverb in Tamil

"Tanga oosi na kanla kuthika mudiyuma?"

(Though the needle is made of gold can you poke your eye with it?"

I forgot my motherly instinct and gave it back to him unfortunately

I told him "Looks like you assumed Amma stole a look at the girl's grade sneakily when her parents werent looking so she can be arrogant and braggy and show off about ur achievement,. But NO!
They shared it with me, and I was using it to coach your brother. The concern u are showing for a random classmate's privacy show some of that towards your brother's future too.
he needs some harsh lessons on how disciplined he needs to be, and if u cared for him as much as u cared for ur classmate you would spend a
half hour every evening sitting him down with you so he can do his homework just like you do selfishly"

Em...yes parenting lessons learnt from life...in my case the lessons i learnt as a teacher influenced my parenting and lessons learnt (ing) as a parent influences me the educator...

Awake & Agonized


Ranjan didnt call R&B, II texted and called him all day.
He told her Makarand's parents want to meet Manny first
He didnt sound too elated, that must have transferred to his "texting tone"
She called him on it on the way to Rohini that evening
She didnt sound too thrilled, he assumed it must be about Manny
Not knowing his son had hurt her by using her Appa's attachment towards her
Oh heck! he had no clue they will have a further showdown in Rohini where he would hurt her some more by insinuating she was better off marrying Subbu.
Ranjan lay in bed staring at the ceiling... he rolled to his side and looked out, fishing boat lights
sparkled like rare gems one passed and another took center stage as it floated across the giant French windows.

Without a baggage Manny was a hard sell because of her messy divorce and erratic flings afterwards
His scandal ruined any semblance of a "normal alliance"

Later that night when they made up, and he slept face down in bed, she lay awake worrying what meeting with Makarand's parents held for Manny.
She also worried about Ranjan's past

She was in a unique situation where her compassion for her father in law was concerned... it was not shared by her husband

Basing it on how jealous R&B was about Chachu accompanying Ranjan to Mumbai, she was sure he would think "well deserved" if Makarand's parents dumped the whole idea after Googling about Ranjan

Her belly churned, and heart hammered

She wondered how R&B rationalized the scandal to himself when his own marriage was at stake

Or was he even?
He was so cool and indifferent about everything... so aloof

She groaned agonized

He moved in sleep grabbing her possessively

He muttered something incoherently and began to sleep again

She was hurting on Ranjan's sake, worrying how he would face a situation where the groom's family already knew of the scandal and the reception was cold and unwelcoming

"Did u talk to Dad?" she asked out loud

He didnt respond... just grunted unhappily... since she woke him up

"I thought you wanted me to start getting some sleep at night consistenly?" he mocked gruffly

Lifting his head and laying on the sheet covering her nude body
And then peeling the sheet off and laying on her curve as he nibbled

"OK... I am sorry... go back to sleep" she said sulking

He held her close... in a steely grip
His hold and his love making was extraordinary

His words were an F
Like he would be just fine living by himself

"I cant... u woke the demon" he chuckled, tasting her curves

She stopped him 'Did u talk with Dad?" she asked

"I didnt... I heard the Raos want to meet Manny"

"Waise, Manny kidhar hai?" II enquired.. bossily

"Some place with Makarand... I hope with Makarand... otherwise there is no point in talking to Raos" he chuckled derisively

"BADDD JOKE DA" she said angrily TURNING AWAY

"U know her... she rarely texts or calls" he said

"No... I DONT know her... I dont know you... only SAM is normal in this family... she pines for things, worries, rants and mumbles and fights for things" II lamented

He laughed heartily

"What is the opposite of NOT NORMAL then?" he asked huskily peering into her face with twinkling eyes

"She hasnt asked me to worry for her... I know..." II relaxed and exhaled... a lil embarrassed

Suddenly afraid of her overzealous behavior

"Umm... I am just afraid for Dad" she blurted

AYYYO!!!
GENIUS

"Umm... whoa...whoa?" he was confused

"Mera matlab... agar Raos ne Dad ko..." II swallowed

She didnt say it fully but he knew what she implied

He lay back down vicously

Nivi groaned and rolled over and slept again

"He has to deal with it II" he said calmly... feeling the exact opposite on the inside

II felt unannounced tears knocking on her eye balls... he ran his fingers through his messy curls

He was hoping the sex was going to knock him out and he would get some sleep

His wife had other plans apparently... keep him awake and agonized..

I hope Makarand Rao is 'working' on his family his end to smoothen the rough edges. Things when it reaches a stage as proposing marriage auquires formality when the family history is dug out for consumption. Still it's not so much what Makarand did or said , how eligible he is or how he has conducted himself so far with Manny but more , how eligible Manny is, what her current marital status is , not to mention the big elephant , the embarrassment of Ranjan Bhalla's scandal.

An affair or an out of the ordinary act of transgression , when laid bare , when it becomes public becomes a scandal. Till then we give it a more decent cover of a fling or just having a good time .

The destruction the aftermath of a scandal perpetrates on the family , its daunting to imagine. The unfaithfulness, the trust that one breaks and that's why it's equally daunting to imagine Ranjan Bhalla to be intentionally capable of bringing this upon himself and his family. No, not because of his stature but coz of the human being he has been projected as.

While he has tried to piece them back all together, they still remain fragments dysfunctional as the central piece that held them together , i.e. His wife has fallen off the face of the earth and is never coming back.

For five years after the scandal, especially one to which he lost his wife... to still be at his best in work, for the business not to suffer as it is with very little help from family , to not slow down and completely immerse himself in work, not only requires a lot of mental strength and tenacity , but also major part, a clear conscience. And on this plank is my base for the trust I place on Ranjan Bhalla.

How heavy is the price you pay for a supposed Sin. It's done and dude's right , Ranjan Bhalla has to deal with it and that's exactly what Ranjanji is doing now in Mumbai. And if he does return fixing his daughter's marriage, II's going to be the most verbally exhilarant member of the family.
Cmon, the girl who is knocked out every single time after a great bout of sex is awake today worried about her in- law's. She's not able to sleep awake and agonized ... how big is that...
