Mice want to play...
"Iren deee oru second" II shrieked at Sahana she was to impatient to hold still II was trying to zip up her pink velvet jacket
She looked like a chunky ball of flesh
She saw her brothers neatly dressed up sitting in a corner as R&B tied their shoe laces
II had applied a streak of vibhuti after her evening diya
"ummm... mmummm maaa" Sahana cooed wanting to be freed
"Umm... if u are not too busy can we make a request?" James licked II's feet
"Enna da venum?" she demanded
He yelped and barked
Sahana paused and bend down to say something to the dog
"Kelu dee" (Ask him) II urged Sahana
"Amma... are u coming too?" Sid asked softly
He was still very weak
"No kanna Amma will take a shower and go to sleep" II sighed
R&B was not talking to her since Nivi left with Greg and Ranjan
Ranjan was going to return in minutes and take the boys and the tyrant
"Hey did u give him another spoon of fever med?" II asked hoisting Sahana off the bed and on to the floor
The dogs fled the scene
Chuck returned
"U know what... I think we should just stay home. Its been a while since James and I chatted with you. Let Sahana go to her Athai's what do u think?"
II looked at him confused
"We just want ONE EVENING with our tail intact" Chuck looked at her soulfully
"Nokkum ponuma da?" (do u want to go too?)
R&B turned towards his Tamil speaking wife
"Ofcourse they do" he said slyly
"That wud be so wrong. Three kids and two dogs. Sam will move out of the country" II said sadly
"Whatever" he muttered not engaging in further talk with her
Ranjan was oyed to chaperone all three to Sam's Sahana got in first, scrambling to go sit in
her car seat. When II asked her to get off so she could get buckle She screamed her head off fearing she was getting down
The boys sat on either side of her polite. They knew ONE purr and R&B will cancel the whole gig
The dogs never came down from the first floor just watching gleefully from the balcony
"Do u think Sam might adopt them?" Chuck asked
"This family is crazy. Sam is not" James said firmly
"I tell you... brother... I wonder why they didnt bring us when Nivi was the only child" Chuck wondered
"Our authoritarian leader must have demanded she needed two creatures to torture" James said ina resigned tone
"dad 9 baje tak aa jaana please. Main khaana bana doongi" she ordered
"Usne aane dena nahi hai" he chuckled
"Its valentine's for them... they shud be going out, with one kid in college and the other one grown up, they shudnt be baby sitting" II said sternly
"Lasya Assam se laut jaayegi do din mein, school ka field trip kya hafte ka thodi hota hai" Ranjan reminded "Bus do saal aur, fair college" he sighed
II walked in casually after they left just ignoring her husband...
He walked up behind her and grabbed her swiveling her...
"Whoaa?" she looked up at him
"What were u and Vinod talking about?" he asked
She looked at him like he was crazy
"No... no... dont tell me" he ordered gruffly
Just beginning to kiss her...
