Once Upon a Midnight Part II - Page 6

Awww....she is liking this middle class life more than her high class society life.She too wants to be a part of it where people demands something from you,shows their rights on you and makes you feel important.

Slowly she is forgiving him too but please make her realize her feelings for him soon before he goes away.Please,I don't want any more separation between them now.

Shubhra gets more love from Parul than Tara. This family is growing on her.

Social class, economic status , privilege....varying kinds of that I mean... the ones that influence the way we think.... it's a tougher bridge to meet.... the other side is always greener.

Here you have a parul who kind of frets tha she has only got a Krishna pendant that's not more than 14/16 carat and you have a shubhra who gets joy out of eating more poori Halwa than gourmet attentions

SOSY had a Bala and vandu looking at the Bhallas with mixed feeling and on the other end we had an unhappy in life Manya looking skeptically at the Iyers , initially even suspecting II for the laptop theft but as irony would have it ended up falling for a middle class Makarand! Both Manya ( a character I like even better than Sam) and shubh don't have pretences... they are not sugar coating anything ...How Manya's marriage would have panned out is anybody's guess though my conclusion for Manya' life is a happy one if dude and II's were to rub off on her!

I sometimes feel ( I have always been a little hesitant to put this out) ... that shubhra has shades of Manya... she can really snap entitled to her luxury going by the initial few updates...their characters overlap as if shubh was an extension .. they are good people can be blunt, even impatient but can get attached to a very few people Who they can give everything for ! But both shubh and Manya are not naturally unconscious of class like a Sam or R&B.

My thoughts are so divided and so hotchpotch! I'm messing this up badly I guess 😆

Half

He left for the airport at midnight with Gagan and Parul, Arya was home with her grandparents, fast asleep

Parul looked heart broken

Two days ago she had sent of her younger brother with his wife

now this one, was leaving, alone

"Agli baar tumhara kuch karta hoon" Gagan hugged him when they did the pair chhuo and teeka before the departure

Gagan liked Tapan a lot, he could not imagine coming back to his family in the evening and not finding him at his new "office" the balcony

his parents were home, they tended to make a big deal out of everything, he didnt want to talk about, he decided he would on the way to the airport

"Subah shaam phone karogey, samajh gaye" Parul whimpered in the back seat

Mohit had given them his car for the night since Gagan's was so unreliable at this time

"Jeeju gaadi doosri le lete hain"

"LE LETE kuch nahi" Parul grumbled

"Yaar ghar ka EMI bhar raha hoon" Gagan whispered

"Can I help please?"

"Nahi maharaj" Gagan let go of the steering and folded his hands in prayer

"tapan please dont go after anybody or anything"

"No di, thats done, it took a falling in love to stop my indiscretions" he laughed

Parul cried hysterically into her tissue in the back

Closed her eyes and pretended to sleep

"arey koi nahi boss, aap to koi Brazilian le ao Sofia Vagera jaisi"

"Vagerah nahi" Parul laughed out loud rocking in the back seat

"Arey yaar jo bhi hai, uske jaisi"

"Modern family dekhna pehle band karo aap aur apne saale ki biwi ko line marna next"

"Parul yaar"

the mood was lightened as they talked about TV shows and what Tapan would do in the evenings when he returned from work

Airport camme too soobn

They dropped him off and Parul wept again

"Aise ro rahe ho aap jaise first time ja raha hoon, 10 saal pehle bhi itna nahi royi aap"

"Idiot!!" she scowled

He checked in and went to the lounge and stretched out

Around 3ish when they called the flight, he got a text from Shubhra

"was it you?"

"Can I say not everything is me?" he texted back

"tapan"

"I am serious"

He loved it when she scolded him like that

"My Dad told me last night at my Bday dinner someone paid off half of Mintu Gulati's dues"

"Not me" he said after 20 minutes, when he was seated on the plane

It had kept her up all night

That and the fact that he was leaving

There was no future, yet her thoughts were stuck on him, or it flew to him at every opportunity.

She knew there was no future, of course there wasnt...

Idiot!!

Her mind was teaching her a lesson, her soul didnt agree with any of it

She wanted to ask him if he had left for the airport

Well? Did u have anything to do with it?"

"We went over that already the last yearish" he yawned staring at his text screen

"Did u have a good birthday?"

"i didnt pay Mintu, Dad didnt either"

"shubhra I asked u a question" "Dont half a--"

"I did too, are you at home or en route to the airport"

He took a screen shot of the chat and sent it back

"there is no question like that

Well, she was busted

"Are u at the airport?

"No, taking off" he said

"It doesnt change anything"

"We went through that already as well"

He powered off his phone

Can we get one more update plssss..

What's going on btw these two? They look like they are set out for a long distance relationship than a break up

"tapan please dont go after anybody or anything"

"No di, thats done, it took a falling in love to stop my indiscretions" he laughed

“True remorse is never just regret over consequence; it is regret over motive.” -McLaughlin

Hence proven I guess.

One more thing! If he was so discreet about not leaving a trail in the scam, then he would have been equally discreet to settle Gulati the HALF of it .

Shubhra says that doesn't change anything. And I say! Cut the crap girl! You know it the events that have unfolded this past 24 hrs does change a boatload of things.

How about their fourth innings in Chicago? Dent her dad's bank balance a bit and take the next flight to oHare! and Be an intruder for real in his Chicago bedroom!

i was just going to say the same 😈

"tapan please dont go after anybody or anything"

"No di, thats done, it took a falling in love to stop my indiscretions" he laughed

I too have same thoughts....now she should be that intruder for real.

Just go girl and give him a shocking suprise.

Stop playing hide and seek with your own feelings shubra.
