Anchored Tempest - Page 108

Nice to see these 2 making progress though in circles. Of all the bankers they can meet in Mumbai the parents terrible’ land at A’s desk. Like these 2 need any more complications😲

How are they going to break out of The stalemate- ignore or include the unhappy parents? Both sets totally selfish. These 2 would do well to share where it started and why A came back and why he looked for her. Mru might feel a little more secure then.

She should take up the offer to move in. Keep clothes there like he says.

The man has already told her he didn't want to marry someone his parents chose for him. Its time for her to let go of that.

Hope Dhru will find one good friend he can really bond with. Its so sad to see him trying to fit in.

Nisha, aaj update ki koi umeed hai?

The thread is about to get over. Waiting for Mrinalini's miseries also to get over.

Not only her Both Dhru and Atty will also be able to have a normal life if she accepts Atty's proposal.

Tell her “No” ☺️😆

They didn’t chat after wards. She opened the door so he could pick Dhru up, she texted him to ask if he is dropping Dhru off

“I am traveling for work for a few I can have him the whole week if that helps” he texted

“That’s fine you don’t have to do extra”

“As you wish”

“He brought your gym bag home”

“Oh”

“I can put it by the door u can pick it up when you pick him tonight”

“I don’t need it now”

As the days went by, she became more antsy and restless, she began to panic if he was plotting something and just not telling her

“When is your trip?” she asked him to check to see if he was going to disappear with jaidrith

Monday the 11th to Friday the 15th”

“Not the weekend?”

“Umm.. no”

She left it at that

She started interrogating her son over dinner one night causing it to blow up

He was not a teen yet but had begun talking back frequently

“If u want to know something about him ASK HIM”

“Shut up” she warned

“You are the one who is always suspicious”

“I JUST asked you” she shrieked

“You are just trying to break us up” he shouted

“Why would I do that? Are you out of your mind?” she lashed holding his shoulders

“No I am not, you think only YOU can make all the decisions”

“I am your MOTHER I had you and raised you until 10, he waltzed in at 9.5 and forgive me if I am cautious”

“No you are not cautious, you are immature”

That was it, Mrunalini was almost going to strike him

Instead she went into the bathroom and cried her eyes out, went into an anxiety attack when it occurred to her that Aatreya may be fueling Dhru’s arguments

Threw up cried, texted Sameena and came out 45 minutes later to see Dhru had left his dinner untouched and went to bed

“I am sorry I should not have said that”

“You know what… I will ask him if he wants you and he can keep you”

Dhru leapt out of bed crying and yelled No no no no… No Aaai I want you”

They crouched by the window and she warmed up his food and fed him, he knew she didn’t care for his food much, though she tried to eat what was made for him

“If we get my allergy test and if I can eat kheer can you make for me?” he buttered her up in his own naïve way

“I want you for myself, he is nice to me I suspect he is going to do something evil”

“He is very nice to me” Dhru admitted

She was inquisitive, she asked him everything, what they do where they go

“Does he ask about me?” she asked holding her breath

She wanted the answer to be a Yes

“Umm.. I don’t think so…”

“Umm.. Not really”

“Umm.. I cant remember”

She asked the same question 10 different ways

“Umm we are having too much fun”

She asked him if she had met any girlfriend recently after their impasse began two weeks ago

He shrugged it off

She realized she never really featured in the interactions between father and son

“Do you call him Dad when you are with him?”

“He told me I could call him Atty” Dhru chuckled

“Umm.. he is older than you shakkara”

“Umm..” Dhru squirmed, rotating on the floor like the hands of a clock

“U miss me when u are there?” she asked with a smile

“I (panting as he did cartwheels) I miss you a very merry million (more cartwheels)

“Do you miss him now?” she had to know

“Yeah?” (panting as he launched himself off the bunk steps

“Dhruuu… listen”

“Not again Aai”

“U miss him now?”

“He is funny… we play chess”

“Why funny? I am funny too”

“BOY FUNNY Aai” “U wont understand

It stung her

She moped for days afterwards, took extra therapy sessions

A week when she had him fully, with no texts from him

She tried to spy on Dhru’s phone to see if they were exchanging some mean messages about her

Nope!

Just memes and stuff

She wanted that from Dhru

One evening when she couldn’t take it anymore she bought a bunch of fresh veggies,

She had already packed her change of clothes and his in the morning

She showed with the kid at 7 outside his door and was told by the neighbor “Gone to a wedding”

She did her best not to pass out

“Did he tell you he was getting married?” she asked her son stoically as they drove home

“No” Dhru looked up from his book as if she was mad

They got home and she lugged everything up the stairs

Dhru texted Aatreya

“Did u get married?”

“Who is asking”

“Aai”

“Tell her no”

😂

Atty will be happy. Mrunalini embarrassed.

Ruthless he is being.

And it’s good for her.

Jitna attention do utna bhav kayenge log.

Let them be. Let them realise your importance. Let them take a step ahead/chance.

I like it 👍.
