Sparkle in a Speck - Page 82

“I DO but I don’t know if I ever wanted to marry her…. No never mind…. I wanted to have a long passionate affair extending years…. No I take that back, I want to see her everyday…. No I can think of someone whose guts I admire, she tells me off, she ended it when ever she wanted to, she is a b---ss

wow 🤩

Finally our boy has shown a positive sign about getting married... Jealousy makes you do things you never wanted to😜. He has a woman in his mind, it will just take few more days to finally realize his love for her. May be this time he will make a bride run from her wedding 💍 🤪

Vihini does do a lot for them all. Baba respects that. Dude has his days. Sometimes he does.

Yes you did try once dude. But its time to try again. You can't just give up like that.

Dude, you do want a wife. You just defined everything you want and a wife is exactly who will bring that.

Baba is on a mission. Indy has practically given his consent to be at least open to it.

Will Baba choose Punky? He always seemed to like her. He does still.

Is she?

He was asked to meet with a string of women, he was astonished by his Baba’s reach and power. He didn’t really meet anyone for real, got into two big fights with his Bhabhi

His brother was an angel he decided

“I don’t think she likes me” he growled one evening as the men stood in the balcony sipping beer. Kruti played in the tiny sandbox, making sculptures

Kunal was destroying everything she was making, to prove a point

Manas was not losing his shit, he just made sure both were not punished

“I cannot imagine being you” he muttered

“You cant, but you will be you”

“I don’t know if I can live in this apartment either”

“You don’t have to, “

“I don’t think your wife will let me live long”

Manas laughed

“She has a point, you DO drive her crazy”

“I am not going to meet a dozen girls and pick one, that just sounds so wrong”

“WE DID IT, na?”

“I am fine…. You love her now , tho not sure why” chuckling

Manas smacked him

“She is great, but I am terrified of her”

“Well she is Aai then”

“I was not afraid of Aai”

“Maybe that’s why it irritates her” Manas smiled

“She is a bully and a tyrant”

“No she is not”

“Let me quiz the kids privately”

“No you will not do that”

“I cannot believe I let Baba talk me into arranged marriage”?

“You are not doing anything on your own, Mithila Karanth is worthless at this point, you are a selfish greedy man, who has always put himself first, for YOU to give her SO much importance is just absurd”

“Thanks for the insults bro”

“Any time”

“Its not like I didn’t step up to care for Baba when Aai left us”

“You just don’t like doing stuff for my family, yes”

“I do what I can”

“That’s right, that’s why you are selfish”

“OK fine… Ive lived on my own terms”

“You don’t even want to live together after marriage, it cramps your lifestyle, go figure…”

“If its an arranged marriage wouldn’t you worry about privacy?”

“Nope… I didn’t, Aai was around and our cousin was here those two years, remember, Sahil”

“Yes” Indy nodded not liking where this was going

“You just don’t want to deal with family”

“Didn’t you just advise me moments ago “You do you”

“Tu to extreme mein leke ja raha hai dude”

“I AM HERE in this house”

“Not because you want to”

By this time the kids had fought 3 times, Manas had to send Kunal inside to finish up homework

When Manas returned, Indy raised his bottle as toast

Manas smiled

“I don’t know how you do it”

“Well if Baba has his way, you will find out”

“I guess”

“Stop doing Tinder” “Just a suggestion” Manas muttered

He was a very quiet shy man, he could NEVER imagine going to bed with so many random women

“Its not like I am meeting someone new every night”

“So? What IS your count?” Manas growled

“Judging me? Bro?”

“Nope, just wondering how you do it, ONE more reason to love Suhasini”

“Don’t worry its not 100, not even half that or 25% of that”

“Under 10?”

“Enough… I am not letting you in on my life any more”

“I actually only liked Pankaja Vyas” Manas smiled fondly

“She was NOT my Tinder date”

“But I liked her with you”

“You haven’t seen us together”

“Umm..”

“Baba likes her too”

Manas just stared into the night

“Why cant you find someone like her”

“Not her?” Indy laughed

“Baba told me she is getting married

He could sense a sinking feeling…

is she?

Jalao aur jalao 😂.

Let me realise what he would end up losing.

“Why cant you find someone like her”

“Not her?” Indy laughed

bhai tune khud apne pair pe kulhadi mari.

She gave you enough hint. You weren’t willing. Atleast try and reach out to her to let her know you now are willing to get married.

waiting to see how punky finds out that he is looking for alliance now.
