P&P with a twist IV - Page 31

She lost.

Viveka lost. She could not get Raanav to go back to his house with her of course. Raanav wanted to stay at his sasural. But her loss is also her victory. Raanav wants to be with her at her parent's home.

Smrita lost. Raanav told her he is staying at Viv's house because he was invited. Smrita told her son she loved him but did not get back 'I love you too mum'.She thought that he did not tell her that because Viveka may be around but Raanav told her Viv was not around and she does not read his texts. He did not respond to her ' there should be love, nothing matters' Smrita has lost big time. She lost her son. He wanted to be with Viveka.

Thank you, Nisha.

Viveka is thinking she lost. But no she didn't. Raanav wants to stay over at the Mathurs despite the conditions. He is feeling the love. Love that he is missing at his own home right now. Satyen is not talking, Smrita is being difficult.

Anu and Viveka are worried about the condition of the house like women will. Men don't care about that as much.

Smrita changes colors on the spot. She was the one who questioned Viveka seeing the text she sent to Raanav. Now she says its OK for her to do that. And now love is what matters. Really?

Raanav didn't say ILU back to her and she knows she has messed up. Her damage control didn't work.

Why did Raanav save that last text? How will he use it?

He put the mobile on power save mode as I understand.

Yearn

“No hanky panky business Dadi has stacked Ramayan sky high in my room” Viveka whispered as Dadi the twins followed close

“Arent we supposed to be having se- because the religion mandates it” he laughed grabbing her hand

He was insufferable

“Why are you staying over?” she asked dodging the pointy rocks on the walking path as she turned to look at Dadi to make sure she was being helped

“Ur Dad asked I agreed”

“I think that’s great” she smiled

“You tried ur best to make me change my mind and return didn’t you?” he laughed

“Umm.. My grandparents are practically living with us, if I was to separate from you and return to my parents I would probably get the divan in the living room”

“The day bed?”

“Hmm”

“Waha koi nahi so raha ab”

“Did you want to separate?” he opened the door for her and looked into her eyes

“Aisa nahi hai” she was cautious

He looked at her without saying anything

“We don’t get along right… maybe it could happen, two strong people great s—but cant stand each other most days”

He just looked at her didn’t say a word

She bit her lower lip sitting down, shaking her head

“Zyada ho gaya shaayad… Ufffff” she scowled

Left her bag and got out and sprinted to Dadi and helped her

Dadi chose front passenger seat

The twins and her sat in the back they were giddy with joy, they had a ton of things lined up to do with him

It was an unconventional meeting, falling in love and marriage

Nothing like Harshu Varsha

No ceremonies no pomp no rituals

Viveka realized her sisters yearned for a traditional Jeeju saali relationship

They probably had a reputation to uphold on SM and among friends

“You should bring him to college and show him off tomorrow” Viveka urged

He didn’t smile

Dadi snoozed or told him how to drive

She asked him about controls, and told her how Dadu, would let her play whatever she liked on the “tape recorder” on their 1989 Maruti

She suddenly woke up from loud snoring

And ordered Raanav to have a baby and told him she doesn’t plan to leave until she is made Dadi

Karuna slept with her head on Viveka’s shoulder too much flirting with Mayank

Diya countered Dadi “Dadi aap CAR se nahi utrogey? “Jab tak Veev Didi pregnant nahi ho jaati?”

Viveka rolled in the back seat

“Haan to theek hai YAHI rehte hain hum, hame kauna kahin jaana hai BATAO” she challenged Raanav

Raanav winked at Diya thru the rear view mirror

He had a piercing look for Viveka

Dadi was settled in the twins’ room

Karuna went to sleep on the divan

Naina was not home yet from work

Viveka went to her mess of a room

“Suno” she called like her Ma did

He was in the balcony on the phone with Rakshit first and then friends

He turned around and but didn’t act like he cared

“Suno” she called

“Call u back” he growled and hung up

“I can give u a teeshirt”

“I am fine” he shrugged

“Hmm”

She began to tidy the mountains of folded laundry and other knick knacks left on the bed

Pulled out sheets and spread them out, he helped without sayinga word

“Whats with all the bangles”

It irritated him

“dadi did something for Varsha” she said distractedly

“U wore the entire quantity?”

“I am SUPPOSED to wear a dozen every day

“says who?”

“UP SE HOON main”

“So?”

“I am sorry I was tactless over there in the car” she sat down exhausted

Diya was puttering around in the living room, there was no privacy for the Parashar couple to fight or argue

“That’s fine” he said quietly

“Tumhe achhi nahi lagi to I can take them off as you know I am not big on any marital symbols” it hurt her as she said it

True, she wasn’t big but today when Varsha was being celebrated and beautified Viveka had felt a brief flash of craving, just like her sisters did with Raanav

She did too with her own marriage

A rushed ceremony and no reception and diving headlong into real life didn’t give her the feel for anything

“I thought you probably would want a big ceremony lavish event with the bells and whistles, if things didn’t work out between us you can get that” she expressed her fear

“Ur unrequited desire was used to lash out at me?” he leaned on the wall

“How did you know?”

“I mean you went to a ceremony right, there is one at your aunt’s every week I am guessing” he laughed

She smiled grudgingly

“Aur hamey… MUJHE I mean ek bhi nahi mili” she was almost in tears, "except for the Lohri night and the other night when Naina got her job... both of which were not intended for US"

He was stunned to see her so vulnerable

“Aur hamey… MUJHE I mean ek bhi nahi mili” she was almost in tears, "except for the Lohri night and the other night when Naina got her job... both of which were not intended for US"

He was stunned to see her so vulnerable.

Parashar kid should be Happy. Finally Viveka is opening up. Let's see what he does about it now. How he assures and pampers her!

Viveka is upset. She did not get to do any marriage rituals and it hurts. Raanav realised Viveka is hurt and upset.

Thank you, Nisha.

Viveka did miss out on the whole pomp and ceremony. She wished she had that. But her parents had offered to have a nicer ceremony and she had declined. Was it because she didn't think she was really entering a marriage that would be her one and only? She had little faith in this relationship.
