PART 47 B
FLASHBACK 23

She wanted it all to be low key, but that word got swept under the carpet as soon as she heard Maasi's update. M wudnt listen to anything, she insisted that it was going to

be a grand wedding, and to start with a grand enggment as well. 😛👏😳Afterall this is Munna's wedding Goddamit!

B tried to argue and talk her out of it, but she wudnt hear anything about it. She wa sextremely pleased that😆😳

her son had finally decided to tie the knot. The girl was PERFECT according to Maasi maing B blush, "sundar, susheel, shaant, padhi likhi aur ek dam Jai ke layak".😳Bas Jai ke saath shaant nahi rahe sakti hai ,is liye ekdam Jai ke layak hai. she

was sure the Mumbai's Page 3 community did not have any match for B. B was itching to share the dark secret behind this holy matrimony but checked herself. "It would

make her the saddest person instead of me" she decided against it. "Its not MY job to tell her how her son manipulates people, into getting his way all the time".Now learn how his Massi manipulates.

She wore sea green plain kurta with a lemon yellow and green checked salwar............................ Maasi picks her up after Noon, she had called her office in the morning

and had taken the days off until Monday. She loved her new job but hadnt in her wildest dreams ever imagined she wud be married half way thru her training. Maasi insisted

they eat lunch and so they headed to the Taj Mahal, overlooking the Gateway of India. B was surprised as to why M chose this hotel instead of her "munna's" on Nariman

Point but didnt ask. Maasi asked her if she preferred Masala Craft over Shamiana. She had eaten at Golden Dragon with Atulya a month ago, she had met JW there as well,

that evening. It was one of those heady days....... he wooed her, pursued her, pampered her and lo......... No may be not that word............
M: Beta kahan kho gayi?Massi knows everything or what?😕I have strong doubt.
B: Jee sorry, main kahin par bhi kha loongi maasi, waise mujhe bhok to hai nahi, maine aaj poha banaya, to ;-)
M: Poha? Munna ko bahut pasand hain par usme use dher saare kaju chahiye😆😆Massi is killing B.Ek toh 'Munna' & she mentions everything about him with so much proud & affection.For her, he is still a baby boy.Massi plz tell her some nice things about ur Munna,😛
B (Blushing guiltily) Oh achha?😳😳
M: Abhi to sab dheere dheere jaan jaaogi, phir baad mein tum mujhe bataogi (winks, like Mom like son)😆😆Gosh!this Massi is too much.Keep it on Massi.👏I love this Massi.
B thinks "HOPE NOT!" I dont want to know abt him any more than what I already do. What I know shud last me the two years of "contract""

Poor B could not forget this for a while.

B Looks away.

They finally pick Masala Craft and order B orders a sandwich and a chai Maasi just has some orange juice

M: Phone aaya Munna kaSuddenly she attacks.
B (almost spits her chai) Mmmmmm Jee nahi (blushes)How much u would blush?keep some of it reserved.😳
M: main milaoon?Haaaa.😛
B: NAHI! (vehemently, placing her hand on Maasi's)😡

M: Kyon? (curious surprised)Aapki bahu aisi hi hain.😡Boring!
B: Woh....... Umm........ woh,........... busy honge........Wow!it sounds so nice from her...'Busy honge'.😳
M: Arrey beta parson sagai hai, aisa kya busyYa,do not give up.Thats exactly what ur Munna does everytime.😛
B: Maasi plz... abhi nahi..... Maasi main............. main zaroor.......... baad meinWhat can I talk with him , in front of u....😳😉
Sees the girl ready to shoot up in flames in front of her very own eyes and acquiesces ;-)
They are done, head out the rest and then the lounge, Maasi stops midway a couple of times to meet and greet some high sciety types, introduces B warmly, wriings a

promise out of them to show up on Sat evening. "The more the merrier?" B wonders
Its past 3 PM Maasi takes her to Benzer! She insists they go back to Ritu's again or tap one of the other famous big name designers in town. But B refuses.

The car drives

up the store strategically located on Mumbai's very own "golden mile", in the heart of the glittering, up market district of Breach Candy again.
They get off and enter and B is stunned by the choices they have for bridal wear, starting prices range from a "Low" Rs.60 thousands a "moderate" lakh or TWO!
B is sure her Papa would not spend more than the upper limit on her entire wedding.
Maasi wants her to try on EVERYTHING that wud fit B, she does, smilingly, M is excited and chirping like a teenager, the entire staff at the bridal section is already aware

of the hotelier planning to tie the knot, but are thrilled to learn that they wud be providing the bride-to-be's enggment outfit.😆

B finally picks...... what else? a pink and mauve ghagra choli and dupatta in silk tissue, all embellished with heavy antique silver zardozi and diamante embroidery, costing a

whopping Rs.78,000! B is hugely embarressed her choice turning out to be so incredibly expensive. Maasi doesnt bat an eyelid, just hands in her card and they are done in

a few minutes

They head out and Maasi wants her to go drop her lehanga off at her appt and meet her at Munna's hotel lobby at 6, B's face pales
B: maasi mujhe ghar jaana hoga, main aapke saath subah se.............
M: Beta, main tumhe kisi rishtedaar se milwaana chahi thi, woh hotel mein honge shaam ko, sagai mein to aa nahi paayenge, woh New Zealand ja rahe hain aaj raat

ko........
B is annoyed wants to know who it is " Maasi kaun log hain?"
M: Woh beta Munna ke chachaji, unki family, chachaji to aaye nahi, bus chachi aur do bete aur unki ek beti hai. Woh aaj hotel mein kisi se milkar wahin se airport ja rahe

hain
B: Oh........ par main......... unse shaadi mein......... hum kahin........... kabhi aur mera.......
M: Beta I am sorry bus ek ghanta lagega.
B Jeee (agrees reluctantly), par aap bhi aayiye na?
M: Bete main tumhe chhodkar Ahujas ke yaha jaoongi
B: Kaun?
M:Beta wohi jinke bete ki shaadi hui pichle mahine
B: Oh! (shyly)
M: Aage se tum dono jaana, main ghar rahoongi (smug)She does not spare a chance.
B thinks "Ya right! That wud be the last place I go with ur Munna. Living with him in the same house wyd be torture enuf"
Maasi drops her home, promising to send a car within minutes for B's visit
She reaches home, no sign of Rano, may be Pia and her have gone shopping for the enggment. B is actually a lil nervous and very excited about what she bought and wants

I told u na last time that urs wedding would be exciting,magical,intresting & romantic like others.😛

to share with her sisters, a warm glow covers her cheeks at thought of actually wearing it for him on Sat.........😃😃😃 Loved this.Dil ki baat cheeks par aagayi.😳she goes to her bathroom pulls it out of the bag, opens the box, unwraps the gauze like tissue wrapped around it and sets it out, brings it to the mirror and holds it, her face suddenly acquires a deeper shade of the lehanga's color...😳😳😳Thinking about him.😳😳😳
She shuts here eyes and opens after a while,....................... B is still there in the reflection.............clutching the pink creation............ hands trembling.....................takes it back to the bed, looks in her sparsely populated jwe;ry box, NOT athing to wear with her outfit that wud actually match it.......... she has loads of pink bangles tho, she smiles and

wears them all in both hands............ they tinkle................. 😳😳she hides her face in her palms,(last night she was hiding her face in a pillow to cry.The same man is responsible for both the effects.What a contrast!👏👏👏Thanks adi to cheer up in this way.Brilliantly written.)her cold hands borrow some heat from her flaming cheeks.......... her heart does another one of its Olympic sprints, vying for her attention............... she gives it
Her phone rings......... its Maasi
M: Beta tum hotel pahunch gayi
B guiltily "Jee abhi nikal rahi hoon........ woh main woh main............ koi aa gaya thaMere khawbon mai jo aaye.....Aa ke muje ched jaaye.......😳😳😳
Her bangles shout "she is a liar"!😉
M: Achha bete, call karna mujhe
B: Jee Maasi, bye
Hangs up scrambles to get ready, showers wears a pale pink chiffon suit with tiny white pearl like beads sewn on it on the edges and trim, unfortunately it was sleeveless and she felt a lil akward wearing it to meet his family. Pink was her fave color and she had lost count of the number of dresses and tees she had in that color. Now her enggment outfit was pink too........................ some pink she was never going to get rid of...... but she would "discard her ennggment outfit ASAP" I wudnt want to keep anything that reminds me of him.............Oh really! then 1st thing u have to get rid of is ...........I do not know ..how is that possible.....Do not ur lips reminds u of him.😳

She reaches the lobby, she is greeted by the lobby Mgr who happens to be there, wants to know why she is there. She insists the ppl she is meeting are at their hotel. He asks for their names she says "Walia" he checks........... NONE checked in!! He is happy to escort her to the excecutive offices. B doesnt like how it is all turning out, she

pales when they board the elevator............. hopes JW is gone...........Dar lagta hain.😆
They get off, Mrs Singh greets her
MsS: Just in time!!! Jai just got done!
B: Woh main......... I am here to meet
Lobby Mgr: Sir ke relatives yahan aaye kya?
Ms Singh: Nahi to?
B: New Zealand se? Do bete ek beti hai unki? Woh ghar par the aaj subah tak? (hoping praying supplying info generously)
Ms Singh: Oh Mr Trilok Waalia? Woh to kal raat ki flight se Spore se aa tahe hain, aaj raat ko to woh Auckland😉- Spore lenge. (confident)
B is shocked, she is sure now that Maasi pulled a fast one.......😆Sab ek jaise hain.Be careful next time.😉
Lobby Mgr leaves Ms Singh escorts her to JW's room, almost like pushing a 10 tonne lead objectPoor B. Can understand her.How would she enter a hotel rm ...
She taps on the door opens it "she is here", winks in general and leaves politely lagta hain puri team set kar ke rakhi hain.😉
B thinks "What is their problem. they think this MUST be cute and funny!😆😆😆

Pehle maasi ab yeh (she fumes as she opens the door, turning back a lil to shoot a fire dartI know her poor innocent victim.
JW:I agree.......... Banee It may not be funny (looks at her face blazing in anger) but its definitely cute! (surveying her from head to toe, getting out of his chair to walk up to where she has recently frozen, wearing grey trousers with black pin stripes on them and a whitest white shirt "mustve used the entire Hindustan Lever detergent prodn for October on that one" B fumes.
Its not opaque enough to hide the vest and the stuff the vest cannot possibly hide, that chest!!"God! He ought to wear ONLY space suits!"Thanks for modelling for us.😛

JW: it wont work in Mumbai weather😆😆😆I know.😉
B: Get lost! Maasi se mujhe yeh ummeed nahi thi (she turns around wrestling with the brass door knob)Better u delete the word 'Umeed' from ur dictionary.
His hand closes on hers shutting it back againJiya dhadak dhadak...
JW: Hi! Baneee (taunting) So good to see you......So good to see u.😛😛😛
B: It is NOT to see YOU.
JW: I can tell (smiles)
JW: Andar to aao
B: Rano Pia ghar mein akele hain
JW: Dont start again Baneee
B:Umm............ Just for a few minutes (softly)
JW: good! Agar Maasi tumhe batati to tum aati?
B: Mmmm................ nahi
JW: So!!
Silence

She is seated on the plush leather couch, he is sitting by her,.............
JW: Kya peeyogi? Chai?
B: Nahi, garmi hai I want lemonade with LOTS of ice!
JW: OK?!.............. What do u want to eat?
B: Nothing

B:To aap khayiye

JW: Hmmm? (not at all revealing he knows) phir?
B: And it has it BEAUTIFUL dupatta......... its beautiful........... I LOVE IT...........(proud) it has mauve too
JW:And thats beautiful too? (eyes fixated on her face, hands rolled into fists, resisting the urge to ravish her on the couch)What else to accept from him?😆
B:Kya?
JW:Mauve.......... (lost)😆
B: What?
She realizes why he asked the ridiculous question............ looks awayGuys r helpless.😆
The food arrives, enough to feed an army, there is enough ice to melt volcanoes. She drinks her lemondae in one go he pours more from the pitcher in between eating his

snack of sandwiches snd samosas...........
The samosas look yummy, she wants to taste............Exactly what he feels but for something else.😉
JW: Here (tears off a chunk with his fork)
B: Ummm.......... just a bite........... OK? zyaada nahi (firmly)
JW: Ofcourse (chuckling under his breath)
B ends up eating teh whole thing ...........😆She hesitates first then ends up like this...very often.
JW: When do u want us to get married?
OUT OF THE BLUE, DIRECT, UPFRONT.......... just like him
B: Kya?Pinch her.
JW: Shaadi kis din karen?
B: Hamari?
JW: Ofcourse hamari....... (return to earth" kinda look)
B: Next year?
JW: Nice try! How about this one?................in NOVEMBER...
B: Ummm Nov 31st? (playing hard to get)
JW laughs................

JW: I was thinking......... more casual (inching twrds her)
B: Benzer mein hai, formals............. we could .............. I mean you could................ main gayi nahi but I want to. I want you to................
He watches her mesmerized, she flits back and forth between one minute where she is "not wnating to see me ever again" to picking out his enggment clothes the next!!!
JW:Its a simple family thing Baneee (arm snaking back behind her on the couch, her silky black hair all over his white sleeve)Opportunist he is!😳
B: To kya hua I am going to be dressed grandly....... (smug, childlike)
JW smiles indulgently..............
JW: Pata nahi........ I dont know what to buy............ummm....... (mimics her)
B: Main chal sakti hoon (like an authority)
JW: I cant take u with me.... (trying to smell her hair)
B: Kyon? (disappointed warding him off)
JW:Unless...........
B: You have a dirty mind....... mujhe ghar jaana hai
He reaches for a marroon case on the table by the couch and hands it to her........
JW:For someone who thinks has me all figured out.... u seem to know squat.. (eyes glint in amusement)
B: yeh kya hai
JW: A red box
B: Marroon.........

Eyes continue to share files............

He approaches........
B: U were nasty kal Ritu's mein........ I dont want ur gift
JW: U were too with ur references to "charity"
B: (avoiding his face) this is all such a sham....... (groaning referring to the whole wedding thing)
