💕😍💕 more of Inder and Viveka please

Window shopping for Life

When I read "adorable cousin" at first I thought is she talking about Raanav? Him and adorable?

Well Viveka, there is one person who loves the geeky you and its not even Abhishek. You charm more than you think.

If Smrita gets a dressing down from dadi, that would be so funny.

“What is his name” she asked Naina

She wouldn’t want her to know she had acrackling convo with him at Bua’s 6 hours ago would she""

HaHa. When someone goes far too out of the way to pretend very little interest!! Their little secret is already a white elephant in the room!

Breath choking, heart skipping a beat, white lies here and there, burying secrets, and generally acting a little awkward around him!

Viveka ..... does she even know , how when in love, 😳someone's else's presence or thoughts start to take over them.

OK got done with the sarkari crap

Off to write

Free Speech & Patience

“Hamare ghar to aapne aane se mana kardiya, humne socha hum hi aa jaayen chai par” Satyen Parashar stood outside their door two mornings later

WHY could it not have been a day Dadi was at Bua’s Viveka could have some how suppressed free speech at home and the matter would not have gotten out

But nope!!

She was braiding her hair using a multicolored rope one of her NGO ladies had crocheted for her

Papa was reading the newspaper as business news ran loudly on TV as father daughter discussed the latest sizzlingnews

Viveka was on her “Corporate tax rates should never have been reduced” argument

“Bigger companies that have robust profit margins are going to bolster their bottom line by riding on the tax cuts” shepaused braiding to yell at her Dad

“Ishara hamari Power Sytems Engineering ki taraf to nahi hai beta?” she heard Satyen speak from beyond the screen door

She dropped her braiding arms and swallowed

Panic!!!

Please don’t let his son accompany him! She prayed like tiktokers unboxing puppy videos

“thankfully no”

“Hi!” she mumbled picking up her hairbrush from the coffee table

“Arey rey sir aayiye… ITNI subah subah”

“Viveka to ready hain dekhiye” Satyenteased

“I am teaching a 8:30 class” she smiledunbolting the door

Anubha did not even know she had avisitor

She was helping Dadi help Dadu

“Tum chhutthi kar lo ek hafta hamaresaath thoda time bita lena beta” Dadi was gently insinuating as usual whenever Akash was not around

“Jee Amma jab Anil aayenge to loongi”

“Who YAHA thodi rukega… Savi keg har jaayega”

“thanks for putting me in my place” shemumbled bending down to pull the stool from underneath Bauji’s feet as he triedto stand up

“beta tu rehne de… pair na chhoo, Diyu kobhej” he growled

“Arey BAHOO hai aapki Ashirwad de dena”Amma made a case for the tradition

“Abhi Akash ko bulati hoon” Anubha started to leave

“usko pareshaan na kar raat ko der taqkaam kiya raha who”

With the TV on, hosts fighting over issues maniacally, thetwins fighting,

Around 20ish minutes later

“Akaaash suno aaj to main lekar nahijaaoongi Karuna ko practice mein…. Aap please jaldi aa jao I don’t want her togo to Vikas Puri alone, Skype mein bhi nahi karegi class yeh ladki”

Anubha walked from kitchen to in laws room to the twins room to living room and froze”

“Yeh kaun… oh? Aap?” ITNI subah?” she asked confused

“Ma beti dono ke chehre par ek samaanexpression dekha maine” Satyen laughed loudly

“Anu beta… baooji to poha khaayenge nahisaadi paronthi bana le” MIL whined

“jee Amma”

“Aapki daughter se argue kar raha thamain”

“VIVEKAAH” Anubha scolded

Viveka got up with a “Uff”

“Anu aap baitho main chai banata hoon Akash squirmed” he was afraid his wife was going to yell at him forhavinga “text affair” with Parashar

“Nahi aap baitho” she smiled

“main banati hoon”

“Arey rey aap to baitho aap hi se baatkarne aaye hain”

Viveka turned a bright red

“I have to go to college

“Kaise jaayengi?”

“Car” Viveka said

“Auto” Anubha said

“Metro” akash

“Teeno jhooth bol rahe hain” Satyenlaughed

“Sir who battery change kar laaye phirbhi pata nahi”

“Agar nashta mila to MAIN chhod doonga meri company ka Corp office Vasant Vihar ki taraf hai”

“No no no worries” “I have to leave in 20minutes” Viveka jumped up

Satyen nodded with a smile

“humse itna dar”

“Oh no… I am not afraid” when they were not arguing about the economy Viveka was strangely afraid of this man

She went to the kitchen

Anubha ranted about Dadi

Viveka immersed herself in offering comfort

The twins didn’t want poha either I wanted pancakes Anubha made them cook it on their own and served poha to Satyenand made a large pot of chai and served the mithai from the fridge

“You are a fantastic Program Director and a cook” Satyen was kind

“I am still a Program Manager hoping to be a Director”

“You will soon… matter of time”

“Kidhar hai beti?”

“naina to office chali gayi” Anubha said with a satisfied smile, she did not want Naina anywhere near a Parashar

Viveka changed with her eyes closed grabbing the first saree and blouse she could lay her hands on

Lucky for her she was way to organized with her gorgeous sarees the blouse was always inserted into the folds of thecrisply ironed saree

She grabbed her bag, stuffed some snacks in it from the kitchen and tried to sneak out

“Aapko main agle hafte se pehle koi na koi proposal bhijwane ki koshish karta hoon, I am trying o hire a woman Director for Humanitarian Initiative… Iam offering the job to you if you want it” "My son is adamant we have to be gender diverse up top" he smiled slowly

“Oh no… no… I am SO sorry but I cant take it” she refused as if her new office cubicle was going to be filled with scorpions

“Oh no!” “thanks…but I am hoping to enroll in Ph D” she calmed the f--- down and explained

“Politely baat karo beta” Anubha hissed

“I am sorry… Mr Parashar” Viveka explained

“I understand

Akash’s phone rang

He took it in the bedroom

Dadi was making her way out ……snooping

Anubha went in to warm up more poha

“You seem so afraid” Satyen caught Viveka alone and spoke quietly

“I am fine… just getting ready for work I guess I am filling in starting today for a lady that’s out a few months” “So nervous” she smiled sheepishly

She explained the subject and shared some notes sitting down gingerly but bot getting too comfortable on the sofa

Satyen asked many good questions as always

“I will see the proposal next week then? Thanks Mr Parashar”

“sure… Ms Mathur.. Good Luck for the class… go get em!! don’t be afraid… I don’t think you have anything to fear… (Viveka smiled joyously relaxing nicely) but he followed up with

“my son can be very patient when he wants to be”

whatever that means... I mean... OK dude.... sure... be patient.... hire who you want... it aint gonna be ME!!!

She just bolted….

“my son can be very patient when he wants to be”

whatever that means... I mean... OK dude.... sure... be patient.... hire who you want... it aint gonna be ME!!!

She just bolted….

Ha Ha Ha.... Forewarned is forearmed... so she thinks 😆🤣

Satyen parashar is like I can't wait eons to get invited❤️

Like the saying goes satyen Parashar believes Trust in time more than the timing😳

This story is like a dessert... the 15 minutes of goodness! Just that I get to begin my day with it, usually :)

Raanav's one act of putting himself out there made him such a star that Viveka just can't seem to escape him.. be it at bua's or a work meeting with Mr. Parashar or even in her thoughts! Her family's every inane comment makes him think of her. Slow and steady, now it's the Parashar kid's turn to reel her in...

Dadi is all that I could've imagined and more.. can always rely on her to keep things interesting!

There's more of the Mathurs?? Wow!

@ the Parashars', things are already steaming up.. without even knowing what's up with her husband and kid, Smrita's up in arms! Her reaction to this Veev affinity that her family seems to have will be fun..

The chaos of a weekday when everyone's late with a million things pending... an uninvited guest is just the icing on the cake! You've captured it so, so well. :)

The Mathur family's shock and hiccups are totally justified. But it's Satyen's graciousness that is the real charm there.

Satyen and Viveka have a promising and lovely relationship ahead to work on.. she'll probably always have him as her champion when things get rough for her!
