Blue eyes & Right

“I can pick them up at 5 ish, will that be OK?” Lyn was at mrs Gomes she needed her help urgently Saturday for back up day care

Lynn was emptying a large sauce pot into a steel container

“I can send bread over Mendy banayega aaj raat ku” she promised Mrs Gomes

Mrs Gomes cat purred and walked between the women and rubbed her tail on Mrs Gomes and left the kitchen

“U take such good care of me darlin”

“Well u said I am your niece, I make 5? 7 things… I can make them over and over again” Lynn giggled

She turned to rinse the chicken

She had made fried fish, some soup, and cooked some rice with the leftover fish and veggies

“Chicken in coconut is my favorite”

“Its from Mangalore, my Mum makes it I told u”

“Mendy is a great cook u don’t need to cook”

“Tell that to Mendy’s Mum”

The women laughed

Mrs Gomes didn’t have any kids

Her sister in Panaji did but both kids lived overseas

The sisters were going to be for each other. She had to have knee surgery, and her sister was visiting her daughter in Singapore so she couldn’t be here.

“I am going to bless u, u know” Mrs Gomes was moved

“Do it after you eat the food, Mendy says the chicken tastes different each time” Lynn laughed

“Mendy is a brat”

“He is” she nodded

“Is he tough with the girls now?”

“NO…. its only gotten worse since his friend is here”

“I see a boy up there”

“Atty is going to love that… he is no boy Mrs Gomes… hes like mendy… THIRTY THREE”

“Well to me he is a boy… tall is he?”

“Yep… and good looking, find a girl for him no”

“I would if Lydia (sister’s) girls were single… both got married real quick hun”

“He wants someone with blue eyes”

“Ooh… that’s going to be tough!”Mrs Gomes had a faraway look

“Why blue eyes”

“MENNN” Lynn rolled her eyes

“He dated someone years ago, he searched for her like a man Mrs Gomes”

“Whatt?”

“Yes… I am serious” Lynn was chopping onions, Mrs Gomes was chopping tomatoes on a table by the window inside the kitchen

“Love sick boy”

Lynn laughed

“I will ask him to move on, bring him here” Mrs Gomes was ready for free advice

“I will bring him… u can feed him my potato fry, boy is vegetarian”

“Silly boy… he needs the protein” Mrs Gomes was sure

“His family is from Bangalore”

“Is this Mendy’s best friend that got divorced not too long ago?”

“Yeah Yeah aunty he is”

“I will ask Lydia if there is a sweet girl at her church in Panaji”

“He will turn her into a vegetarian”

“Fiddlesticks” Mrs Gomes cursed

“I am going to miss you” Lynn teared up

The women sat and enjoyed tea and home made cookies

“There was a girl here two days ago”

“Hmm?”

“She wants to buy… but thinks Rs66 lakhs is too much” Mrs Gomes mumbled with a mouthful of cookie

“That’s great news.. I mean the buyer”

“Yeah we’ll see” “She had blue eyes” “In fact she was a really gorgeous girl”

Lynn was too focused on how anyone could afford a nice house in this part of Chembur, to focus on the blue eyes part

“Must be wealthy to buy for herself… such a big house” Lynn displayed some envy

“She has a boy she said”

“Oh husband?”

“No… no silly… a child… 9? 10?”

“Oh” “shes a Mum”

“Yes yes.

“I was hoping the child was a girl and 5 and I could keep coming over here” Lynn’s eyes glistened

“Maybe you should just buy it, Mendy and you guys can move here”

“I wish… the girls have their own room” Lynn said sadly

“Umm.. U could… turn this kitchen into a bedroom and make the living room into a open plan hall that’s how rich people live love”

Lynn visualized herself in there

“I really love this flat”

“I know u do, your girls grew up here darlin”

“Is she coming back?”

“She has to….. now… I told her I don’t do email, I want in person offers” Mrs Gomes winked

She was alone and lonely, she drew people in by placing such absurd demands

“Poor girl”

“she looked nervous”

“OH AUNTIEEE” “Not again”

“Yes I know when I see a nervous nellie darlin”

“She is probably just afraid to buy her first home”

“She lives in Bandra in some highrise… she said a name”

“Oh wow”

“Yes”

Lynn dodged a went Mendy as the couple flirted in the bedroom

“Do u want o buy Mrs Gomes house? Mrs Gomes keh rahi hai kitchen ko kids room bana lenge, we can have open kitchen in the living, her flat is a bit bigger”

“Tu pagal hai, kon paise dega itta renovation ka rey”

“Mendy I don’t want someone else to buy that house” she moaned

He was busy trying to undo her blouse while the girls were in the living room

“Men… Mendyyy… Min..” she squirmed

“Main Atty ko kahega yaar”

“Some girl with blue eyes saw it, it seems”

Mendy laughed

“Poor family pagal ho rahela hai” he laughed

Held her for a long hard kiss

Atty returned at 8 ish

They ate on the terrace after rains

“Lynn ne tere waste naya blue eyes laaya hai”

Atty laughed

“I am serious rey Mendyyy” Lynn was hurt

“To theek hai na, main kon sa mana kar rahela hai?

“Single nai rey baba, married hogi shaayad… bacha bhi hai”

“Thanks Mendy” Atty laughed

“Yeh mere ku single boli re”

“Mendy” Lynn flung an oven mitt at her husband

“Atty the flat we wanted u to see… that flat Mrs Gomes waala”

Aatreya was not really interested in the convo

But nodded

“I am asking mendy to buy that flat and convert the kitchen into a bedroom” Lynn plugged her selfish idea

Atty looked at her like she was nuts

“U are crazy”

“Apan ke flat se at least 1000 sq feet bada hai” Lynn was insulted

“Apan ka flat 1000 ka hai, who 2000 hai?” Mendy mocked her

“100 hai BASS?” Lynn yelled

Atty was playing hide and seek with the girls

The ADORED him

“Who will do the renovation?” Atty questioned breathless and running

“I like that house rey” Lynn was bummed

“Tu dosti kar le jo naya ladki le legi”

“Bandra ka hai rey baba” “Who girl”

“Tere league se outside hai” Mendy laughed

Lynn chuckled

“U can use Ira and Iris”

“Main bola Mrs Gomes ko 5 year old girl nahi hai kya?”

The men laughed hysterically

“Atty too late man… blue eyes and yet not right” Mendy laughed

Freed chains

She spent the next couple weeks sneaking in mand out of work and taking bank loan officer’s calls in the stairwell outside her bullpen.

She was just not eligible for 50 lakhs in loan

She knew Sagar had invested crores in her name at the bank his company did business with, he had added more to it in the last 8 years

She was being sent paper statements home, he texted her to ask “If it was OK if he invested the 15 crores using his wealth managers”

“Its not my money so you should not be asking me” she had told him

All the while cringing over living in that apartment

There was going to be no one that was going to fork Rs 5 lakhs for her

She didn’t have big money that wasn’t given to her by her parents or grandparents

Her mother of course had not given her any money

She suffered from zero guilt

She called more banks and credit institutions

She was told she “should rent” and not think of buying until she has enough saved up

It was quite distressing

Canyon Oaks was less 7 kms from Chembur, though her office was going to be a bit far

She couldn’t quit now, could she, she had to pay EMI for the next 30 years

She met Sai for lunch one afternoon, she was allowed a certain number of “free” or discounted coupons to dine at the restaurants

Sai could not afford to buy a meal otherwise

Mrunal would do anything for her

They ate at a Chinese restaurant and giggled over the silliest of things

Sai was a few years younger, after a bad breakup she was not ready to commit

She loved Jaidrith

“I don’t have rey, nai to mei de deti tere ko”

“Don’t be silly, I don’t want ur money”

“Just take ur Baba’s na… it will be one time, tu aisa soch na u stayed there for 9 years why not take Rs 5 lakhs?”

“No way yaar, that would mean he owns a portion of the house and me”

“Toone apna naam Ghatge rakha Jai ko bhi diya”

“I cant name him after the Dad”

“Mila tujhe who?”

“Not after that day in the lobby, it was weird”

“Maybe he wants an affair, sab mard ek jaisa” Sai was disgusted

“I didn’t ask him if he was married… he is my age? Or younger or older… must be married”

“Cute tha?”

Mrunal nodded smiling awkwardly “Bacha hai na mere paas”

“Itta hot tha abhi bhi?”

“Hahahah” “Abhi main naap ke batayegi tujhe”

Mrunal rarely spoke Hindi the first 22 years of her life living in the gilded (c ) age, only English, only overseas vacations, no buses no locals

But her life of last 9 years had brought her in close touch with the real Mumbaikars, Sai was the first…

She was compassionate and real, didn’t judge Mrunal when she chose to have the baby

Many of her high society friends had frowned

Shocking!

“Its like there are no men left in the world, main waapis use ke paas jaayegi, after having his secret baby” Mrunal whispered laughing uncontrollably

“Usko kyon bataane ka?”

“Jaidrith looks like a mini twin” Mrunal’s smile got wiped out

“Aisa kya?” Sai looked worried

“I don’t think he suspects my child is his, that’s too filmi rey”

“Dekha nai abhi” Sai muttered digging into her noodles

“I told him I am busy and cannot meet and not to come back”

“Sai boli rey” Sai burped after sipping her coke

“We both are thinking he will want the child… which man wants his affair baby” Mrunal laughed

She was going to do everything to protect Jaidrith

There was no other way

“Both cute hai who haan? Us din jab tu chhodi usko, he says “Maushi, Aai ka boyfriend rehta na to mujhe tang nakko karti”

Mrunal burst out laughing “That little crab”

“Soch rey”

“Hey I am going to ask Mrs Gomes if she will accept less money”

“Try kar” Sai said grimly sighing

And so Mrunal DID, over an hour and a half one evening

After explaining everything about who she begged and how she came up with 60ish lakhs

Mrs Gomes, told her taking a Rs.5 lakh hit was not doable

Mrunal went through her carved wooden jewelry chest in her cupboard

It was one of the things she had received from her friends for her 18th birthday, it was studded with real pearls

She didn’t have much inside, except for a gold chain and a pair of gold anklets she had bought Jai when he was a baby, and her own sparse jewelry

She took Jaidrith’s chain and a pair of her own bangles to a trade in place and cashed it and called Mrs Gomes again, asking her if she will be willing to take Rs.2.2 lakhs instead of 5

“Sure darlin” Mrs Gomes said with a resigned sigh

Mrunal sat in the stairwell at work and wept

Poor Mrunal.
