She loosened up a bit with him and told him something personal for a change. Yes there is hope.
Mru will find a mother and a sister in Pramila and Apoorva if she gives them a chance.
Buying favors
Just when her needy heart was getting used to him in the house, the soft rich voice talking endlessly on calls, cracking jokes, opening the door for the cleaning lady, opening the door for courier, like just being the guy that would have been the guy who would have been the guy to raise the kid with her
He was gone
Wednesday evening as she coughed and moaned and drove home from work, she found Kirti with her door open and held a basketing her hands
Jaidrith took it as license to enter and just went in
He was like a rat in cold weather sneaking in when the door was open
She even smiled pointing to the basket
“is it for me?” Mrunal asked longingly
“Te majhyasathi aahe?” (Is it for me?)
“Nakko majhyasathi” she said smugly with a smile
Mrunal nodded wearily
“Majhya mulaga tumachya Gharat aahe” (My son is inside)
Immediately Kirti was all smiles invited her inside with a nod, pulled her hand even
Mrunal was shocked
Ulhas and Utkarsh were playing video games
Jai sat between them laughing out loud
She had NEVER seen her son on any one’s couch
Well except Ira Iris’s, the girls mainly used their time to tease him (Mrunal personally thought it was cute but Dhru “hated” girls)
Mrunal wanted to take pictures
She gave up her pride and asked Kirti and did take pictures
Kirti still holding the basket told her it contained chocolates, popcorn, gummy bears and cookies
Mrunal nodded seething
She had no friends that cared to send anything for Jaidrith
“He koni pathavale he tumhala januna ghyayache ahe ka?” (Do u want to know who it is from?)
Mrunal nodded a “Hmm”
“Tumchya ghari yenara manus” (The man who comes by to your place)
Color left Mrunal’s face
“WHY was Aatreya hitting on Kirti
Oh wow!!
She saw red
Instead of thinking about what was sent she started pondering over who it was sent to
“Dhruuuu chalaa?”
“Tyala khelu dya”
(Let him play)
Mrunal’s jaw dropped
She nodded barely smiled and went back to her flat
Dhru would not return until 9 not until much yelling and shouting
Aatreya called to ask Dhruv if he wanted to go rock climbing on Saturday
“I am sorry he cannot go anywhere”
“Why not?”
“He was at the neighbor’s uninvited and spent four hours there despite my calling, did not do homework, has not eaten dinner, has not changed or showered, the water pressure was poor this morning so he threw a fit and wanted to take a 30 minute shower and he doesn’t even get home until 9:40”
“Mrunalini, he loves those boys doesn’t he?”
She heard a faint chuckle
“So he has your approval so I guess its OK if his homework grade is F tomorrow”
“He can do it after dinner right?”
“He has bedtime at 10:10 ALL the kids in his class have a bedtime at 9”
She was part of the parents group, but no one ever invited Dhru to anything
He was too shy and or didn’t know what to say to the kids
“How can you know the actual bedtime”
“I am not going to argue with the parents or with YOU”
“Is it Atty? Can I talk?”
It bothered Mrunal he called his Dad Atty but she didn’t want to encourage him to call him Dad either it was a slippery slope
Already they were going down
“No you may not…. Ja tujhi anna kha (go eat ur food)
Then began the whole I don’t want it
I hate it
It tastes like socks
She hung up abruptly
After an hour she called him back much to his astonishment
“Did you send gifts to my neighbor?”
“Whatt?”
“Kirti Sahasre showed me a basket”
“Oh yeah I had my secretary send her something”
“That’s nice” “No wonder my son was allowed to go in today”
“Oh that’s great”
“I don’t usually bribe or try to buy friendships”
“Do you want to know why I sent?”
“No”
“I am going to tell you anyway”
“I don….”
“I was headed out yesterday they were delivering a TV to your upstairs neighbor I am told, I dodged out of the passageway, and ended up pushing the boys (Ulhas and Utkarsh’s) bikes
“Oh”
“They were distraught”
“Looks like they don’t go to school” she accused smugly
“They were in their uniform, they were headed to their bus stop
“Hmm”
“Is that fair enough reason for u”
“I don’t care” she whispered
“I wont buy favors so Jaidrith can have friends”
“OK”
“Are you sorry you accused me?”
“You want to take charge and fix everything”
“So I would automatically buy his friends”
“He is very emotionally fragile”
“I KNOW that Mrunalini”
She nodded as her eyes welled up with tears she realized she was talking about herself too
“Do you want to come watch him rock climb Saturday?”
“If he gets out of curfew”
“Cmon”
“Did your Mum go this easy on you?”
“She DID” he laughed
She cried some more
“Have a nice night” he said gently
She heard female voices in the background
There was a knock on the door
The guard from the gate delivered a basket saying it was delivered in the morning the guard on duty locked it up and went for the day, he was the night duty guy and so he could open the store room
It contained soups, and chocolate for her and gluten free nut free sweets for his son with a get well soon card signed by Aatreya
The image on the card made her blush
It was of a comic image of a child abductor wearing those burglar like sunglasses running off with a crying baby and a blonde ponytailed woman chasing after him
“Get well soon” it said
Her embarrassment knew no limit that night
“WHY was Aatreya hitting on Kirti LOL LOL LOL
He is hitting on you Mrunalini.
Waiting for him to officially claim you as his.
Hope Mrunalini too gets to go rock climbing and have fun.
Atty seems like a dream come true.
What brought around the transformation in Kirti? She is all smiles suddenly.
Atty must have sent the basket as a peace offering to Kirti. Why didn't Mru get that? Why would he hit on a married woman?
This time she got invited on the father son outing too. And a gift basket of her own. The man has a sense of humor too.
Carrot & Stick
“Did you make the card?” she asked
“I am not useful at all with graphics but I tried” smiley
“Its cute”
“Oh? Thank u”
“I am not a blonde”
“I read a disclaimer first”
“Dhru thinks you are accurate”
“Does he?”
“Thank you for the soups and other care items”
“U are welcome” “How are u feeling”
“I have a really terrible cough I am going to the Doc again tomorrow”
“U went once?”
“I did, I had asthma as a child so sometimes when I get a cold as an adult I get wheezing”
“I am sorry”
“That’s fine”
“I can pick him up tomorrow”
“I don’t know when the appointment will be”
“Oh? Do u want to text me?”
“I can do that”
“No problem consider it done”
“Thanks”
“What is he up to”
“Sulking and not eating his dinner”
“He has friends now go easy on him”
“I cannot be like you, I am a single parent”
“I thought we changed that recently”
“U cannot be la dee da about him always”
“U think that’s what I am?”
“I think u keep buying him toys, he goes on fun adventures, he eats sorbets everyday he is allowed to say no to every food”
“Umm”
“I cant keep up with that”
“Its not a competition”
“Well u see IT IS”
“I am jumping on a call right now can we talk at 11?”
“I will be sleeping”
“Tomorrow?”
“I will text you if I am awake”
“Thanks”
She tried the new soup, Dhru as usual loved it and the crackers and the chips and wanted a fruit smoothie with oats
She wanted to text or talk to him
She was tired of the impersonal chatter on her WhatsApp friends groups and the “Are u hitting up XYZ sale” “So and so is getting married lets plan a early vacation before shaadi” type exchanges
She loved watching old Marathi comedies and romantic movies late night
Dhru was trying to be a “man” and refusing to let her sleep on the lower birth
He spread all his comics and games out to deter her
She fought it a couple days
Tonight she just decided she was going to crash in the living room
She placed the same chairs and potted plants by the front door as Aatreya did
Around 11:20 she texted him
He probably must have been on the chat window and noticed the ……. Appear
“Awake?”
“Almost asleep” she said and shed her anxiety and typed “ What type of work do u do”
“Oh? Can I call?”
“Umm yeah”
“Well I work on three different things…..
He spent the next 12 or so minutes explaining what he did for the bank
Nothing made any sense to her in her cold fogged up state and half asleep but his husky nasaly voice was beautiful
“I mean don’t you think….” He questioned
“I don’t know anything about banks”
“Where do u keep ur money?”
“Umm there is… umm.. I mean I don’t think too much about it” she laughed
“Boy ur voice is hoarse”
“I like my husky growl” she laughed
“Do u now?”
Silence….
“I called to tell u to be strict with him”
“Oh yes”
“U are a pushover and that’s not good”
“I am not going to be a bad cop”
“You don’t care what he thinks about me?” she was outraged
“No you are doing what works for you I have showed up in his life at age 10”
“Don’t go overboard”
“u know what we are just going to go around in circles and never agree” he growled
“He is not going to respect my rules if you let him do whatever he wants, he basically just snacked on all the rice crackers and chips and did not eat a morsel”
Her voice was hoarse and cracking up
“I don’t encourage him to skip dinner Mrunalini”
“He has this attitude now that he knows what will not pass in Chembur will be welcomed in Khar”
“I am sorry but I am not encouraging that behavior at all”
“I didn’t have to deal with this until you came into the picture”
“Getting rid of me is not going to get rid of the problem”
He read her tone
“I know that” she was bitter
“I am sure there will be teething pains”
“I don’t know he already had issues in school now he is acting up at home” she was distressed
“OK lets do this, lets talk to him after the rock climbing activity on Saturday”
“We are not AMERICANS We don’t “TALK” she mocked
He just burst out laughing
“Is that so?”
“Yeah if you talk then he will say he hates everything he hates Chembur he wants to go back to Bandra, I can never go back there” she panicked
“Whyy?” he asked rattled by her fear
“Its not my house, its my Dad’s” she said fearfully
“Oh? Umm..”
“He doesn’t understand all that, he hates Chembur talking to him will give him the upper hand”
“No Mrunalini” he was begging
“U have to let me do this”
“No I am sorry I will not allow you to make decisions for him”
“If he says he hates school will you keep him home?”
“That’s an extreme situation he wont do that, he loves Mechanics and Math he says”
She had no idea about Mechanics
She wanted to cry
Her Dhru was slipping away
“Is that why you bought the connect sets and the building toys?”
“Umm yeah?” he was nervous
“u ARE trying to steal him then” she said distressed
“that’s ridiculous”
“U think I am dumb”
“What rubbish”
“Anyone that puts out in their first meeting must be an idiot no?” she began to cry and hung up
All her stupidities were being displayed under flood lights at this moment
What his parents must think of her
What his sister must think of her tortured her until she fell asleep crying
How I wish he was there in person and could comfort her!
Tell her he does like her.
Its never one way/ Both gave in their temptation.
Atty do something soon. Please.
