DRABBLE: "but my parathas"Love the title
*THE WORST happened*
*BB married Suresh*
*nevermind why or how*
*the real tragedy is that ABHI IS NOW RELATED TO MASTERJI*(DB is related to DB) *for a long time abhi thinks he's not going to forgive BB for this*
*like masterji is fine and all but abhi didn't want to be his co-brother-something,
and he didn't want to share his sasuma, (
Abhi possessive over his Sasuma and do not to share her with Suresh ,Abhi such a baby) and he didn't want to see his face at all family functions from now until eternity*
*pragya is amused by abhi's whininess on this matter for a while, but then she isn't anymore, and when she Gets Fed Up, abhi accepts that somehow he has to learn to like masterji*
*
so he goes to chembur with a PEACE OFFERING*(Abhi idea of peace offering is alcohol, wonder what Suresh would have give Abhi as a peace offering)
*and he warns BB ahead of time that he's trying to do a nice thing for her and her di and her maa (because they all want subhi to get along, even though both suresh and abhi would prefer to pretend the other doesn't exist)*
*BB is skeptical but she is totally jiju's chamcha so she arranges for all the arora ladies to be out shopping for the afternoon*
*masterji is immediately suspicious and non-receptive to abhi and his peace offering*
*but abhi is the most charismatic rockstar in all of mumbai and probably all of india and maybe all of the world and potentially all of the known universe SO basically he manages to convince suresh that yes, it is safe and sound to indulge in a bottle of glenlivet with him, and that for the betterment of their unfortunately but inevitably shared future, they have to patch up their differences somehow, and the alcohol will help*
*sure enough the exquisite scotch has an exquisite effect - abhi has to knock back a few more than suresh to reach the same state of uninhibited bliss, but over the course of the afternoon he gets there*
*by evening both arora damads are lying lazily on the couches in subul's apartment, chatting about whatever comes to mind*
*they have already gotten through their whole range of insults for each other, and aired out their grievances about one ms. pragya, and argued about who has done more for the arora ladies, and debated on whether sarla maa or rockstar daadi is more khatternak*
*then they discover that in each other they have the best possible person to complain to about their wives - they're married to a pair of sisters, after all, and for all that bb and pragya have very different personalities, they have remarkably similar behaviour patterns*
*abhi is patiently listening to suresh describe for the second time how utterly maddening he finds it when bulbul moves his stuff around because she doesn't agree with his organizational methods - it's only fair because abhi has by this point told suresh four times about pragya's annoying habit of ending every argument with a "you'll see!" - when his darling mrs. rockstar walks into the flat!!*
a: heyyy baby! *tries to stand and hug his biwi - but she has to catch him because he's not quite steady on his feet*
s: helll-helllo prag-*hic*ya *tries to stand to politely greet his friend but his head spins and he flops back down to the couch with a sort of apologetic nod*
*p carefully lowers abhi back down to his seat and then stands apart, surveying the sorry twosome with her hands on her hips*
p: what is going on here!
a:
we were bonding, kishmishmishy. you wanted that right masterji and me friends. now friends are we. we are.
s: yeshhh. he's not so bad. he's still crazzy but now hesh my friend.
a: thank you masterji! you're my friend too
s: and you're my friend
(Both DB'S bonded over alcohol, hope that it last even after they sober up)
a: yeah and also you're my fri -
*pragya picks up the 3/4 empty bottle and examines the label*
p: ABHI! you told me this was going to be a gift for that bigshot producer you're meeting next week!
*abhi shrugs*
a: so it became a gift for my new friend inshtead. and for me. do you want some??
*pragya puts the bottle down and glares at them both*
p: i can't believe you two! you know everyone is waiting for the damads to come to dinner, and the two of you are in THIS state?
s: dinner? i like dinner. when is dinner?
a: did mummyji make those stuffed parathas i like?
(Both DB'S ARE FOODIE, should have competition who could eat more off Sarla stuffed parathas .The winner will have Sarla maa for a day without anyone disturbing them.)
p: you're never going to find out, since you're too drunk to move!
*a tries to stand up again, slowly*
a: nononono! parathas i can have. look i can walk. chashmish why are there four of you. four chashmish sixteen eyes whooaaa why do you need so many eyes baby.
*pragya notices that his math is completely wrong*
*pragya realizes that when he's this drunk the last thing she needs to worry about is his math*
s: haaayeee i can come too. jusshtt don't tell bulbul about the scotch, she has a rule, if i drink she has to be there.
*a sniggers*
*a whispers - joru ka ghulam! (wife's slave!)*
s: heyyyee! i resemble that remark!! *suresh laughs at his own joke while abhi looks at him in amusement and pragya looks at them both in disgust*
p: i won't have to tell anyone anything. they'll know as soon as they see you. and how do the two of you plan to get down the stairs without breaking your necks?
*a looks at s*
*s looks at a*
a: i could carry you
s: i could cling to you
p: no no! oh god. fine you two just stay here.
s: BUT DINNER
a: MY PARATHAS
the end - for now? :P
