But finding her had energized him

Finding her happily married with two kids like Mendy’s was going to help him wrap it all up and set it afloat on the Arabian Sea 🤣

She looked at him like she had just seen a ghostsmiley37


Tch tch.. yeh interview ditch karke isko milne aaya!! If she could, she'd probably set HIM afloat on the Arabian Sea. 😆

He's cute though, remembers so much about her.


If you're not too busy, can we please get more? I can't seem to wait for them to know each other..

How long we have to wait till they really know each other, I'm so impatient . Nisha's cliffhangers just increase the anxiety level

Mine(field)

Mihir Bhat his BIL was calling with what was most likely a job lead

He loved Aatreya, he couldn’t wait for him to find a job…. In Bangalore though

He looked down at his phone and looked back up

She was processing his presence he realized

Checking him out nervously while trying to be cool about it

“Yeah?” she said a lil shaky

“You have no idea who I am do you” he smiled disarmingly

“Umm… not really,” she shrugged

“We met in Lonavala almost 10 years ago”

Her face paled again

“Oh?”

“Your expression tells me you do recognize me” he said innocently

“I was aparty animal”

“With blue eyes” he chuckled

“Oh” she shut one eye and put a hand over it

“That changed too?” he laughed

She tried not to smile

Her son had the same eyes

HIS son she swallowed

“I am just you know…” she shrugged without revealing the reason

“How have you been?” he smiled

She realized how gorgeous he was… he was parting his hair to the left, which was unusual

He was in navy trousers and a watered down pink shirt

“Not going to a funeral” he reminded her

She turned bright red

“Oh yeah… about that”

“U wouldn’t wear pink would you?” she demanded

“Unless it was specifically requested” he nodded

“that was stupid of me”

“No” he said grimly… his heart thudded like crazy around her

He had no idea why

She could be married with two kids or 4

“Did u need anything?” she asked coolly

“Umm… a cup of coffee maybe?” he tried not to look at her ring finger again… nope there was no ring

She was not wearing anything around her neck either

“I am actually busy, readying for a customer dispute… guest I mean” she rubbed her hair parting

She looked worried and antsy, he just could not place why

“That’s disappointing… Mrunalini” he smiled happy to be saying her name

She squirmed self consciously

“Maybe some other time” she nodded

“I wanted to let you know I am in town… for a couple more days”

She nodded with a “Why are you telling me?”

“I didn’t expect this reaction”

“Umm… you are a stranger” she sighed

“I guess…” he nodded

He wanted more

There was none on offer

“What have you been up to?” he asked curiously

“U know…. Just traveling… focusing on my career, and just having a good time” she shrugged

“Wow”

“Yep… just really busy”

“With that big friends group of yours?”

“Nah… I have a few work friends… u know”

“Can I give you my number?”

“Umm… I am not sure why I would call you” she was fearful

“For old times sake… maybe I could stop by and say Hi to ur husband”

Her expression changed again

No husband then?” he wondered

“Hes busy” “Traveling you know” she shrugged

He didn’t know what to make of it

“Well It was nice to see you” he nodded

“oh yeah” she nodded looking at her phone again wishing it would ring a text msg or a call

Her prayer was answered but not the way she had wanted

An employee walked up to her and handed her a stack of forms

“Mr. Rueben has signed a recommendation but he was saying getting your kid into 5th standard is perhaps the hardest (Mrunalini tried her best to steer him away) at Canyon Oaks, maybe wait a year and try 6th he will be 11?...There could be a (glancing at Aatreya) single parent forum ( he continued…glancing at Aatreya again and lowering his voice) he said they have some distribution for those kids…..good luck to Jaidrith!”

She grabbed the forms as if that would shut the guy up and turned

“You have a 10 year old?” Aatreya was shocked

“Hes MINE” he said panicking sprinting running away from him

2nd day in a row Aatreya Rao stood shell shocked

Ohh My God.

Fabulous Nisha.

Eager. Actually more than eager to know what he does now!

How will he pursue her?

How will he persuade her to let him be part of her life?

Will she allow him to be part of their life?

And if he is jerk, he will back off right away. But this option not an option we want a story.


Can you please give another one?

Having a 10 year old was not enough by itself, maybe.. but the single parent thing along with her reaction should surely raise doubts, nhi??

Wonder how he'll react to this.. is he going to chase her down now??


I've also been thinking if he's going to be mad at her about it.. so far, he doesn't come across as one to get very angry or bulldoze his way in. So will he coax his way into their lives steadily?

Can't wait to read more..

Wishful Paternity

“Don’t man!” mendy handed him a beer, warning him not to go over to the hotel again

“Aaj kya day hai?”

“Friday… oops”

He took it back

“To usko fizzy orange de na” Lynn urged

Lynn was making dinner today, she had the day off

The men were helping cut veggies since Aatreya was a vegetarian it had to be clean and tidy

“I wasn’t going to follow her”

Atty sat on the dhurrie and began to cop onions

Mendy shelled peas as Ira and Iris ate from the bowl he was putting the peas in

“Saare NAI khaane kaaaa” he yelled “Lynnn dekh rey inko”

“Puppa… one more… one more…” Ira squealed

“Don’t follow her, don’t intimidate her, that behavior is going to come off clearly as stalkerish dude

“Thanks” Aatreya shrugged

“So u think the baby is urs?”

Lynn peeked from the kitchen

“ISKA baby honey waala hai? Man mujhe kaun kahega?”

“Nai rey baba” Mendy rolled his eyes

“The woman who I shared a spark with… I suspect she has a baby”

“Suspect nai, she HAS a baby… aur ye hero abhi se excite horela hai”

“He is 9? Almost 10?” “She ran when the guy handed her Rueben signed forms”

“U were nosy, you showed up at her workplace and demanded to meet her husband, and asked her if you remembered, I don’t remember anyone from 10 years ago”

“I don’t remember anyone ELSE from that far back” Atty sighed

The long muggy rainy night was explosive

They were like a couple in love

They took tiny naps and woke each other up, like they had had known each other for years. He whispered in Kannada in her ears, some words were similar to Marathi, those made her blush

He was her first, she didn’t have to tell him that, but he worshipped her like she was his dream and was going to dissolve at sun rise.

“Does he have blue eyes?” Mendy used Lynn’s dupatta to tie up the girls wrists to the sofa leg

They squealed and tumbled over each other

“Whats that going to prove?” Aatreya looked at him like he was crazy…

“Matlab…” Mendy was sheepish

“He needs to be TALL”

“U said she was 5-10”

“OK never mind… this doesn’t seem to be going my way” Aatreya laughed

“Did u feel a thing?” Mendy asked quietly

“Does it sound disgusting if I say I did?”

“It does bheedu” Mendy laughed at having nailed him

“Well… I do… I don’t think Ive had had better s—”

“That’s a clear lie… how can you remember every encounter”

“That’s the thing right… I had ONE with her…. I mean one night… multiple… but”

Ive been your voice of conscience” Mendy was proud of himself

“Yeah… a negative, pessimistic killjoy”

“Hamari English teacher tere se khush ho jaayega mannn”

“There we go”

Atty snuck a handful of peas to Mendy’s girls the whole time

“u did everything… abhi chhod dene ka, u were able to find her, see her talk to her, ask her for a coffee date, tell her about urself”

“U left out everything about her dudeee”

“Keh le na”

“Married or single with a kid, who strangely happens to be 10”

“Yai… yai pe maar khaati hai teri theory, u are acting like she was in Lonavala ONLY to hook up with you”

Aatreya looked a lil bummed

He wanted it to be that way

He was an idiot he realized but weirdly he wanted it to be the best thing that happened to her that weekend

For him surely it was…

He had kicked himself for not going after her

He was too elated about Wharton so there was that…

“Not my kid huh?”

“Ive not seen a guy so DESPO man to want some random kid to be his”

Aatreya laughed out loud

Mendy realized how strikingly handsome he was

Unassuming and introverted but very good looking

“Tere ko lekar KJo ko pikchar banana chahiye… teri story boss, Ive not met a man who is so desperate to prove his paternity

Aatreya laughed some more

“Who would play me?”

“Main kar lega”

“Dekh isko haan?” Lynn warned “Isko Deepika ke saath romance karne ka hai”

“She is as tall as Deepika” Aatreya exclaimed

“Ab bacha nai… MA bhi maangta ha isko”

“I am probably never going to see her again” Aatreya told himself
