Sparkle in a Speck - Page 69

Caught in the act this time. Suhasini has part of the scoop now. The question is, what will she do with these two?

Her words are very clear now. She doesn't want a temporary relationship; she wants the long haul.

He is still in his no marriage mode. That does not cut it for her any more.

Of course both are lying. How can they tell the truth?

They have different goals in life. There is no middle road for them.

He knows what she wants. She made that very clear. She is not blaming him in any way. Just walking out of what she sees as an arrangement that will go nowhere.

Upto no good

Suhasini tattled to Manas, she didn’t want to confront Indraneel

“What is this new complaint” he chuckled. He was aman of few words, he generally didn’t interfere in anything she did or said, she was a fantastic wife and a mother, she was their anchor. He loved her deeply

She was a rock to his father as well

“I am telling you your brother is up to no good”

“What did he do?”

“I think he said something to Pankaja Vyas and made her cry”

“She is an adult, cant she sort it out?” Manas was baffled

She didn’t like the answer, she wanted more deets, and her husband wasn’t playing

“Why am I telling you?”

“Yes WHY are you telling me?” he countered in Marathi

“Manas… she has been happy and cheerful until recently”

“OK so she is upset”

“Its not that simple”

“Am I really supposed to sort out our math coach’s personal problem?”

“Not YOU”

“Then?”

“Your brother”

He laughed out loud, his laugh was identical to his brother’s

It ticked her off

“Don’t laugh like Indra”

“How can I change it now?”

“Manas…”

He gently pulled her toward him

“We care about him, he is an adult, let him make his mistakes”

“If the teacher stops coming?”

“Then school will give us a new one”

“No not that easy, they will accuse us of not treating her right” Suhasini cooked up a threat

“Whattt? “How?” She willingly came to our house”

“I know but they have rules”

“Did he hit her?”

“Kunal? NO!!”

“Indy!!”

“NO…. why would he hit her”

“then why was she crying?”

“You don’t get this, thank God ours was an arranged marriage, you would never understand lovers tiff and I would still be single”

He laughed again” gently stroking her neck

“Manas…. I feel they are having an affair”

His finegrs froze”

“How do you know?”

“Mrs Gopikar’s MIL saw them arriving at midnight or 2 am when we were at my Aai’shouse”

“What?” he sat up

“I didn’t think of it….”

“Must not be accurate”

“No it is…. I think… I didn’t see, but all fingers point to something going on between the two”

Manas, yawned and lay back down

“The whole society is tracking this poor chap”

“Tumhara bhai poor chap hai?”

“Abhi shaadi nahi hua, kya karega, he has to get his desire fulfilled na” he closed his eyes and pulled her closer

“Desire matlab, he cant make a girl cry”

“Agree”

“Manas… ask him no”

“I will” he nodded

“If he has misbehaved and done something without her approval, we need to know”

“We should be talking like this about Kunal, not about my over 30 year old bro”

“I know”

He opened his eyes and stared at the fan

“I know he is on Tinder, I doubt a teacher is his type”

“Khup chhan aahe Ms Vyas”

“Maybe not his type”

“His type can change”

“He likes silly women, too much into fashion and make up”

“ms Vyas is also like that some times”

“I will ask him”

“Hope she is not pregnant” he said

“You said not his type and now she is pregnant?” Suhasini growled

“Kya maloom apan ko”

“Your brother needs to be married”

“We tried!” he said sadly

“Kya chal raha hai tera Ms Vyas ke saath” he texted his brother after midnight after Suhasini was asleep in his arms

“Who is asking?”

“Vy”

“Tell her none of her biz”

“Don’t ruin the contract Indy”

“Thanks for the advise” he said grumpily

Manas was wide awake now

By NOT admitting to anything, Indy had admitted to some things

Manas seems really nice manoos.
Hope he drills some sense in his brother.

“Abhi shaadi nahi hua, kya karega, he has to get his desire fulfilled na”

The guy gets it and doesn’t want to fault his brother. He seems like a really nice brother.
Waiting to see one on one conversation between the brothers.
can Suhasini talk to punky and see through how bad she has fallen for her devar?

“He likes silly women, too much into fashion and make up”

“ms Vyas is also like that some times”

really does he like silly women???

Then I think he won’t like punky!!!

She does dress up but isn’t silly.

By NOT admitting to anything, Indy had admitted to some things

Now you need to solve the puzzle is that something serious for your brother or is he willing to let it pass as another fling?
