P&P Part III - Page 32

Lovrly update, thanks Nisha❤️

Waise the not thanking him 3 times rears its head, wicked naughty Raanav😉. I was actually breaking my head trying to figure out what PS stood for, then it flashed Police Station 😃, I read half the uodate 3 times to figure what I was missing. Loved the dinner table conversation. Why is Vivekaa dismayed about the case? Loved the way Satyen distracted and tried to change the topic, lest Smri and Lekhs gets more ammunition against Vi.

On the car, cars doing the rounds for diff people at diff times is a given I would think. So I was kinda surprised that raanav would insist that Rathiji specifically gets marked for Viveka's rounds. Even if we look at Viveka pre marriage, the no of errands she has run with that troubled car was a lot.

This was one such conversation that kinda makes it uncomfortable especially when you live in a joint family , and with new wives as added new members of the family even with whatever might have been the intention / motivation / provocation of lekha and smri to keep the car to themselves.

He was blunt alright but for a joint family, it wasn't exactly tactful I felt , even if it was poosi mazhupifying from the designer mother in law / daughter in law combo. Raanav needs to be careful. Smrita took offense but rakshit and lekha could too.

BTW for a 6 member family who lead such professional / social lives, there should be 7/8 cars, one for each member of the house and another one car for house errands/ dedicated solely to house staffing needs. # just saying 🤣

Kalpana, I think its good that the guy didn't beat around the bush and came straight to the point. I am sure Lekha had other options and only wanted Rathi as she thinks she is entitled and Viveka is not. Smrita too does not want to take Viveka in their fold. Not that Viveka is too eager but one could be courteous.

So it was Good that the husband spoke up or else hey would keep doing that to Viveka in someway or the other.

Ra she never thanked you for all those times (road rescue....and..) because you are/were her "ghar ke log"... following the Parashar gharka mantra 😋 But he is keeping count...you have to payback with exorbitant interest 😁

I am confused Vi does not want to sue the guy who ramped Satyen car ? Ok got it. They were talking about the issue with Babu and case filed against her. It will be interesting what transpires here. Lesson 101 for who the economist or.lawyer or both .

It was lovely Nisha 😘

Oh its coming!

She is not being deliberately hypocritical by dragging Babu to the thana but on the other hand requesting the truck? driver be let off with a warning

Raanav hears it he will address it for sure

Oh so she was talking about Satyen's accident. This will be interesting conversation/argument for various reasons 😊

Yes pritee, i do get the nudges and pushes that these two ladies do to alienate veev, but like I said, I just put that dialogue coming out of Rakshit's mouth and imagined him announcing it bluntly saying hello, excuse me could you all please not touch any car that's been kept for lekha, rent a car if you need one guys , you see my wife is a very busy lady.

I just felt if it was rakshit who had said the same, I or even few of us would have all taken offense and felt that it was little rude .

And I wonder what Viveka would have thought if she had heard him say that! My guess is she would have been horrified. She is the same girl, who did not take lift when it was offered and she is the same girl who a day after her marriage walked all the way to the gate, took an auto and left for the metro. Special treatment from her husband other than in their bed won't agree with her😆

Cause

“I don’t think it’s a competition” Akash rolled his eyes and asked Anu to back off

“Not for us, but Amma pakka taane maarna shuru kar dengi” Anu reminded softly

“Arey nahi yaar, Varsha job wob nahi karti so she can have a kid”

“Amma ko Savi ne keh diya usko admission nahi mili”

“That’s OK, she can apply and enroll elsewhere”

“Don’t you want grandkids?” Anu questioned

“To YEH baat hai?”

“I am not trying to make this into a Shakespearean tragedy, she is happy he seems like a great guy, but, maybe she could use the time between application and enrollment to give us a grand baby” Anu sighed

“You’ve started talking like Savi”

“Because I know if Varsha has a baby I cannot kidnap it”

“If Veev has a baby do you think they will let you kidnap it?”

“Raanav? I am unable to read his opinion about being a Dad, haan Satyen zaroor kidnap nahi karne denge mujhe”

“Smrita will probably let you keep the baby, afterall who wants middle class blood mixed with blue blood”

“She has never texted me till date Akash” Anu sighed

“Yeah we are not having a normal samdhi relationship

“I asked Viveka if Raanav texts her when he travels”

“Kya kaha usne?” Akash tried to be cool

“Ma, din mein ek baar ka average hai”

“Chalo, hai to”

“You think because of who she married we will forever be measuring the temperature of the relationship?”

“I would I think based on how fast everything happened” Akash nodded glumly

“AAayi nahi for the dinner at Savi’s… last week”

“We cant expect her for these things”

“Just like we cannot expect to show up at her house unannounced”

“We need to come up with a list of everything that will be different”

“You are an engineer you do it”

“Chalo I will”

“Naina has been kind to take Bauji to the Doc appointments”

Anu nodded

“Achhi job thi Akash, she threw it away”

“I almost don’t want to see that boy ever again, Inder?”

“Haan I didn’t want to either, when I get a chance I am going to ask Raanav about him Akash”

No…. rehne do forget it”

“He ended up judging our whole family for it”

“He married Veev right?”

“You think it’s a penance”

“Nahi to, but I mean Anu, he clearly feels differently now”

“Aise kaise, movie thodi hai zindagi Akash”

“Don’t say that, I wouldn’t want him to suppress his haughtiness and pretend his way through life Anu”

“Our Veev will have to pretend too don’t you think Akash?”

“Yeah at those high society parties”

“Not standing up for what she believes in because they don’t want naarebazi at home”

“Kuch kaha NGO worker ke baare mein Anu?”

“Hmm.. nahi… she feels the guy had no right to hit his wife”

“Yeah sure, let her tell that to the 200 million? Men or whatever”

“I hope she doesn’t make a big deal out of it

“So why don’t you say it Anu? Say YOU don’t want her doing any activism” Akash said grimly

“Akash I wouldn’t care if she did her social justice reform thing if she lived with us, I would fear for her safety at night, I would fear for backlash or revenge, but encourage karti zaroor main”

“All those things can happen even at Parashars”

“I doubt anyone will encourage her over there to be her fullest”

Akash watched Anu’s bent head

He wanted to challenge her but he knew some things were plainly not possible at the homes of elites

They cared for causes, they did tokenism, hired just the right kind of home help, showed up for photo ops and “nurtured a pet charitable cause or two”

Over there in zip code 110001

“I did not urge the cop to investigate who started the brawl, I went with your narrative” Raanav leaned on the twin glass doors leading out to the front lawn

She was poring over some papers in her favorite spot

It was after 9 neither had showered or changed for dinner

‘I told you what happened Raanav”

“On the other hand I DID NOT tell you the circumstances of the accident Viveka I don’t want you to unconditionally support the man that almost killed my Dad”

“U are going after him with pitchforks Raanav” she was horrified

“There is a possibility that he might have been drunk”

“YOU don’t know that raanav”

“YOU don’t either Ms Mathur” he said silkily

This would have been a tough marriage anyway…. But bringing their professional causes and opinions was a surefire way to wreck whatever little harmony there was
