Sparkle in a Speck - Page 70

Suhasini automatically assumed Indy was in the wrong. Old habits. Will she talk to him?

For Manas, life is simple. He just goes with the flow and lets everything go around him.

We hope Manas is mistaken about Indy's type. We can't see the dude liking silly girls who are too much into makeup.

Will Suhasini take on the marriage bandwagon for Indy and Punky? Hope she does.

What is Indy's type exactly? He was having a perfectly good time with Bhadra. He is totally into her. Their chemistry is good. Seems like his type for sure.

Heartbreak

She spent the night at Sulu’s she told Ajji she wanted to be with the new baby. She cried most evening, “

“Just forget him babe… he didn’t do anything you can hold against him!”

“I know that I am angry over myself”

“Then why did you fight with him”

“He said I should continue seeing him”

“Theek hai na, tu bhool jaane ka na… why are you agonizing”

“For him its all about s—”

“For all men haa?”

“I know…. I foolishly started believing he is NOT a Tinder date”

“Abhi isme uska koi mistake nahi hai”

“I know”

“Just sign up again and see someone else”

“I will never get married then”

“Agree to see who Ajji has picked na?”

“There was a guy in UK Ajji was after me for weeks, I was too drunk on this loser”

“Usko gaali de rahi hai tu, usko kya maloom re”

“I want to go abroad, I don’t want to live in Pune”

“OK get married to guy that lives abroad”

“I don’t want to see him again”

“U wont…. Uska job yaha hai”

“I am ashamed I ever dated him”

“You are being dramatic”

“Because I expected something he didn’t want to give”

“You thought you were settling scores for the Kunal competition and so its no longer a Tinder thing”

“We had known each other so much by then”

“These men have one track mind”

“I will never forget the sound of laughter when he said “Did u tell her its just a fling”

“Tell who?”

“AJJIII…. I told him Ajji is trying to marry me off”

“You thought he would come in filmy style and whisk you away?”

Pankaja wept softly

She had indeed!!

It was achy and cruel

She had started fantasizing about a life with him

He had done nothing crazy

Just not behaved how her heart wanted him to…. The ring never came

“I think it was a bust from the get go, he is bitter and cynical about his called off wedding, it was your misfortune Punky that you hooked up with him and expected it to go some place”

“I thought I was done after achieving peak “outcome” on the couch fully clothed he lured me into dating him again”

“Because he is attracted to you” Sulu grunted shaking her head in disbelief

“Yeah strictly attracted”

“I am sorry babe…. I don’t think you deserve it, I am not saying he should do what you want”

“Marriage was a long shot, he could have said “We have just started seeing each other, ask Ajji to cool her heals”

“You would have landed even harder if it had gone on for a year and he had dumped you”

“I know” she nodded tearfully

“Men are heart breakers” she reached to give her friend a hug

They wept together

“Abhi u just see, if you like any guy Ajji picks bas shaadi karne ka aur mast rehne ka, have a baby soon, our kids can be twin cousins”

“One year apart” she giggled

“I promise you you will get married”

“I don’t know…. With each passing month I lose hope”

There is someone out there, I promise”

“I want to be rich, I don’t want to keep watching my pay check dude”

“I know babe…. But the kids will be grown soon, Prateek and Praju will have jobs and get married, then you will only have Ajji”

“I cannot push them to get married to be rich na?”

YOU are going to do it right?” Sulu was angry

“I am the oldest I HAVE to”

“Itta pamper MAT kar dude…. Let them figure it out

“Stop it Sulu”

“Achha achha gussa mat kar”

“U want them to be abandoned? That’s not cool dude”

“No” Sulu thought

Her friend was obsessed with her family

Who will tell her she needs to be practical?

Poor girl. She is so distraught over this whole thing. For her it will never be a small thing that she can forget easily.

She was expecting the proverbial prince. But the prince does not see it that way.

In his defense, we can not expect him to produce a ring so quickly. There is a lot they have to go through yet before they get there.

She is very invested in her family. They need her. But as the siblings grow, she will need to pull back a little.
