The Winner
"Insulting my wife proves you love me?" he asked expressionlessly
He had to get away from the terrace as Manya's OCD over Guru's failed venture was getting under his skin
"U look like you are mad" Manya ranted
"Time out Manny" he said firmly
"Dimpal"
"We have talked about it for almost 15 minutes" he told her bluntly
"I dont want you to think ki main" she began
He interuppted her "I know what you thought, please dont clarify" he waved a finger
"Dimpal"
"Manny... take a break" "Please" He looked at her sternly
"U have to promise... umm"
"Enough Manny" he barked
She looked upset
"I dont care for your unusual involvement in my work. I thought you were only psyched about the testing" he sighed looking through papers
"I am SICK of people ripping off Dad and you" Manny began to cry
"You are not a cop" he was angry now
"SO? Only can a cop can protect you?" Manny shoted back
II had returned, she was walking towards the room when she heard the back and forth in the corridor
She returned to the master bath closet to change
She could hear them going after each other
Albeit the sounds were a lil muffled
"U are paranoid. I dont think he needs defending... I certainly dont" R&B looked at her incredulously
"HOW can u say that yaar? 100s of millions acc to the papers"
"according to the papers right?" he questioned
"Holy shit... more than that?"
"Are u out of your mind?" he was disgusted
"matlab?"
"U think an Indian startup would be funded 500 crores or a 1000 crores? for a blood thinner?" he rubbed his already ruffled curls
"Whatt.. matlab... how much IS IT?" Manny yelled
"Are you an angel investor?" he asked
"So u think I am prying?" Manny began to cry
II changed into a pair of red and green plaid fleece jammies and a red full sleeve tee and shut out the light
"I dont care if Sam is or not I am going to guard you and defend you" Manny shouted and sniffled
"From WHO?" R&B thundered
"I dont know... from any body... and everybody" Manny sniffled
II walked out of the formal living room towards the lounge, and then on to the grand staircase leading to the terrace
Luckily not hearing anything said afterwards
"In your paranoid suspicious world is my wife a crook?" he asked patiently glowering near her
Manya was quiet
"You are getting married in... umm... " he consulted the swatch II gave him " 4 months?" "And this is what you stay awake worrying about?" he was livid
"Kya karoon?" Manny began to sob
"So That asshole left a bigger carnage than we realized" (Manny's first husband)
"I dont need protecting from my wife" he told her firmly his voice was hoarse
"I didnt mean to Dimpal" Manny touched his arm
He quickly stepped back withdrawing
"Put a lid on that paranoia before Makarand discovers your insecurities" he said in a thoughtful voice
"I am not paranoid about EVERYONE" Manya shouted sitting on his couch, dodging eye contact so her brother wouldnt realize she is only implicating her bhabhi and Chachu &Co and NOT Tan.
Nope, absolutely not Tan...
"Oh... so only a select few?" he asked with a nasty glint in his eyes
Manya wasnt looking at him...
"U are the youngest Dimpal" Manny went on the defensive
"Oh now THATS your excuse?" he hissed
"How come you or Sam are not concerened by it?"
"U shud urge Sam to start going through Tan's bank statements" he said quietly
"Main har kisi se ... dimpal... I dont go about randomly" Manya cowered as she realized what she was about to say again
"U shud let II know she was a lucky winner" he said leaving Manya to battle her demons
