Worthwhile Invader
“Why did you want me to go?” She was very direct as she rode the car with Satyen
He found her an hour after Raanav had left
“Umm.. sochne do” he mocked closing his eyes and tapping the tip of his nose
“Funny”
“You owe me many vacations beta this is the first”
“You coerced him?” she asked sadly
“U think he will listen to anyone?”
“Umm.. no I guess”
“I am happy you live with him and share your life with him, he needs you”
“Words I should be hearing from him” she laughed
“Kaha nahi usne abhi taq?”
She didn’t say anything
“Too much probing.. um. D.. Dad”
“It doesn’t feel organic to call me Dad does it?”
“I will get used to it”
“Smrita ne kuch kaha?”
“Oh NO” she shook her head violently
“Theek hai” he yawned
“U didn’t get enough sleep”
“What to do you kids give this poor man sleepless nights”
“MAIN?”
“Aap apne parents keg har rehte ho, no more khichri for me”
“Arey kal raat ko main THI for the Rajasthani khana”
“Oh yeah right”
“U are funny” she mumbled softly
“I am the court jester”
“raanav kya hai?”
“He is the mercenary Saxon invader” Satyen cracked himself up
“Raanav is not a mercenary” she found herself defending him
Satyen listened with pride
He wanted to gurgle with joy but arrested the happy grunt
“I need your pictures showing me your daily shopping”
“He has to go to Law School I am thinking I might tour LSE”
“Kis din?” he turned to her grimly
“Not sure, he usually goes for a day or day and a half, so who knows, I bet you need to book”
He went on his phone and texted
She looked out the window
“He has work for weeks I think”
“WEEKS?” “Oooh I cant be gone that long”
“Arey beta I can go be at your Shahpur office just give me a list of deliverables”
“We don’t have AC or heat over there”
“Just relax” he patted her hand warmly
“I shared ur number with someone you will get a text helping with your tour
He was texting again
“You know people in LSE???????” she was shocked
“Haan beta bas ek do hain zyaada nahi”
“I am sooooooooo happy she squealed and reached out to hug him tight
He was stunned
He received her hug warmly
“I cant wait”
“Good” he nodded
She called her parents the next day and announced she was going away quick
They wondered about Visa
She said she had it all
Akash smiled happily
He knew Satyen might have arranged it as he drove to meet Mr Parashar for lunch to talk about Naina
“Do u want to go to Komal Bua’s(Akash’s cousin)?” Anu asked Viveka
“Pata nahi Raanav jaayega, I could try”
“Main text karti hoon”
“Dadi ko aap abhi mat kehna Ma”
“Arey Dadi already aadesh de chukin hain”
“Ma”
“Relax Veev…. For once…. Stop being so jumpy, you deserve it”
“I am not jumpy”
“Naina ki zimmewari tumhari nahi hai beta. Think about ur life”
“I am I am” Veev was irritated
“Its too late to apply to JNU, tum March mein sochogi to tumhe kaun June mein admission dega”
“I know” she nodded sadly
“Dadi yaha par poti ko ro rahi hain” Anu was irritated
“Tell her her favorite grand son in law is in charge of contraception” “BTW there is only ONE grand son in law”
“TMI Veev”
“Tell her there will be no babies”
“U tell her at dinner”
“Ma I cant make it for dinner maine pack bhi nahi ki”
“Raanav ne kar li?”
“He goes over there like we go to Lucknow or Roorkee”
“Mayank Awasthi phir milna chahta hai Karu ko”
“Kar dein aap shaadi Dadi ko par pota mil jaayega”
Viveka started to pack her clothes, that had all been put away in the upstairs bedroom due to the remodeling
“Tumne kar lee apni packing?” she asked Raanav as he entered the room at 7
“Not yet”
He stared at her chaotic suitcase in shock
“Kya hua? Nahi jaaoon main?”
“Tch tch so eager u are not to go” he muttered standing across on the opp side of the bed
“I am OK either way”
“Why are u in a hurry?” he darted a glance and tilted his head at the suitcase
“Criticizing my packing skills”
“Making it a worthwhile vacation for u” he whispered softly…
Something about that made her skin tingle
“This Parashar kid is a pain in the ass” she thought
