Money as a cure all
"Thats fine, we can have Paris look at the numbers and then when we meet in two weeks we can look at the new mattress venture. I am told they racked up over 40 patents" R&B spoke enthusiastically
"Oh no, no thats a unicron, we havent looked at it since March." he laughed and listened
"No, I am not going to the Tech World Congress in Barcelona" "See if Damien can go?" he listened and made notes on one of the many open, half used note pads
The office was a mess as usual, his daughter lounged in one corner stacking a binful of unwrapped Post it notes into a brick wall
His wife was not home yet
"OK lets do this lets pull together a list of "most active" we can revisit when we meet in two weeks"
"Yes, I know... I know, I have too many things on the Paris agenda" he whined
He moved his daughter quickly as she yanked the high tech phone power cord, it went down crashing
II sprinted up and peeked
"damn!" he whispered scanning her curves
Her cross body bag accentuated her full curves, she wore a soft clingy tee over her ripped skinny jeans
"NIVIII" II wailed
"What a mess" she scolded
"Ammma..." she cooed
Her curls unruly and springy all over her head and face
"No, no... not at this time" he said waving a marker towards her
She wasnt looking, she was sprawled on the rug letting Nivi climb all over her
He walked over and picked up a cushion from his couch and flung at at her
She caught it and lay back down, Nivi was trying to open her purse, change and lipstick and a feminine
hygene product fell out... II swept up the change and reached over to the cherry wall-to-wall book shelf and tried to find a empty art/bowl
Nivi was no longer interested in the lipstick she wanted the money
"Momeee" "mommeee" she cooed
"Edukku dee? Do u have a hot date tonight?" II leaned forward and kissed her cheek
Laying back down
"I saw that they seem to be liking us" he laughed
She ogled his crinkling eyes and the perfect teeth...
"Nope not making it to the well funded startup list for sure" he chuckled
II snoozed, holding the change in her fist
He sat on the couch so he could get a full view of her horizontal form
Nivi was now trying to unlock her phone
"Kudu di, rakshasi, dont censor my texts" she whispered
Nivi screamed
"II" R&B warned
"Eppo paar phoneleye irukke" (u are on the phone all the time)
"Wife" he said with a sheepish smile
"Yep yep, hire a dozen just to scout start ups" he said smiling
II snoozed again...
She didnt know when he hung up
She found him by her side
"Wheres the crew?" he enquired, feeling the firm mounds separated by her slim cross body's strap
She awoke on being fondled
"Arent u supposed to be making it to the start up of the century list?" she mocked
His daughter was too busy to notice, he bend down and opened his mouth on her mound
II opened her palm weakly and let the change slip out
"Manya went to Sam's" she muttered cuddling him
"Am I alowed to drink?" he muttered on her neck
"Abhi nahi da... not for a week"
He cursed colorfully
"Pig" she said with satisfaction
"Dad kidhar hain?" she asked
"He was here some where" he muttered, laying on the cushion, pushing her off it, grabbing her and draping her body on his
"Why are u still wearing ur purse?" he asked
"they make my boobs look firm" she arched, as he slid it off her shoulder and neck
Nivi pretend talked with Lasya "sasya ka" sasya ka... and oba oba she cooed to shubhang"
"Di u notice how Lasya conducted a class for these two?" Ii asked softly
"No I didnt" he muttered busy with... "stuff"
"he is chooo chweet, skinny and bald... with that oval face and the cute nose" II sighed and shuddered
He kissed her
"Whered u go?" he asked
"I didnt buy any lingerie if u were hoping for a center spread" she kissed his cheek
"Bummer" he whispered letting her kiss his hair and sideburn
"Lets go down" she cooed
"U can go down" he whispered, gasping holding his laughter...
She rained a dozen blows on him "Rakshasaney... onakku vera velaye kedayada?" (dont u have anything better to do?)
Nivi started raining a bunch on HER
Nivi shrieked and sputtered trying to rescue her daddee
"Paavi... iru dee, u grow up and ur man will make u do this thing, then dont come running to amma" II lay down on his chest
His phone beeped multiple texts
He made out not paying attention

"I was stunned to hear she had a prenup" Manya sipped her sparkling water quietly
"It ticks him off no end" Sam said quietly
"Umm... why..." Manya swallowed
"Uski BIWI hai woh" Sam was furious
"Umm... she must have aher own reasons na?" Manya was trying to be cool about it
"she belongs to a different class Manny. Not constantly oohing and aahing and showing off their money" Sam muttered softly while she pointedly stared at her MIL
"i mean he was dating a chick 5 years older than him, he is so liberal, dont tell me that his wife being independent bothers him" Manny poked
"Thats not it Manny. A part of him might think, if she doesnt care for his money then she doesnt even care for him no?" Sam said quietly
"And then there are the men "I" date who only care for the money" Manny took a swig of her sprakling water and sputtered and choked
"Our family is very dysfunctional" Sam muttered sadly
"She is now part of it too" Manny seemed to derive pleasure in including the prim II in it all

R&B stopped when they heard footsteps
Ranjan appeared in a few minutes when II was sitting up and leaning on the wall of books
Nivi got up and went to complain to Ranjan
"Gudiya kadon aayi beta?" he asked
"5 minute Dad" II lied
He was back on the couch on his laptop
He had lipstick stains all over his tee and his jaw
"Achha gal sun, Ahluwalia se maine baat ki, usko kisi baat ka pata hai nahi" Ranjan said aloud
R&B nodded cryptically
"Gudiya"
R&B was looking at Ranjan meaningfully but he was turned towards II
"Dad?"
"Yeh Venkat ke bhai se miley ho aap?" he asked
R&B paused his typing and froze
Lakshmi's husband Venkat had a brother in Coimbatore that was the head of a promising medical devices startup...
"
"I WISH I had... he sounds very smart and cool, I mean to be owning a Rs.500 million company" II sighed
"Ummm" Ranjan swallowed
"Dad the next time we go South Coimbatore jaakar miloongi" she smiled
"Achhi baat hai" he nodded smiled weakly and turned to R&B, who wasnt looking at him now
"Arent u even a lil bit curious?" II asked gushing
"Umm.. no, actually" he said quietly, as he IMed with his French partner exactly on that issue
