a: eyy fuggy
p: ji (yes)
a: yeh toh naa insaafi hai (this is an injustice)
p: kya? (what?)
a: you've had the chance to be a bride three times - no, four!
p: huh?
a: i've only been a groom once. and i wasn't even paying attention that time.
p: ok but -
a: even if we get married again, our count will never be even. you'll always be three ahead.
p: what kind of nonsensical competition -
a: so i'm thinking you should let me go through with this deal I had with my lohri clients (tanu's parents)
p: WHAT
a: just think i'll make such a beautiful groom
p: NO
a: i won't actually marry her
p: STILL
a: kya fuggy it would just be playing dress up
p: and then what? to even the accounts you'll almost-marry two other women? i'm telling you, it's not worth it. i've been there.
a: you almost-married two women? dammit fuggy that means six total! and you're five up!
p: ...aapko dulha banne ka itna shauk kyun hai? (why do you have such a wish to be a groom?)
a: i just don't like you having a higher number than me
p: oh my god you're impossible! this is because i asked how many girlfriends you had before tanu?
a: no not at all, i'm not petty like that
p: *raises eyebrow*
a: *cheeky smile*
p: guess what, Purab has told me about all the girls you have dated, it counts up to ten and I exclude churail for my own peace of mind. But I do want to get ahead of you in dating. I have only dated one so far.
a: WHO HAVE YOU DATED
p: well, the one you call with certain electrical term.😳
a: you DATED double battery?!! that scooter-riding mustachioed weirdo? what do you mean DATING why is that even in your vocabulary oh my god you're not the kind of girl i thought you were
p: I did everything that dating couples do, with him.
a: *tearing out hair* *thinking of what he did on dates* WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. sunset walks? restaurant dinners?don't tell me you had pani puri with him!😡
p: more like we did night outs in his room...
a: in. his?! room?!! fuggy you know it's not nice to play games with your husband! what are you doing?? if you don't clear this up for me right now, i'm going to have to go to that room with a boulder and some dynamite, do you understand me?
p: oh please, he is not rich like you that you break a glass in anger and it gets replaced in a jiff by robin. what is there to clear up? he was my only mate at that time, the only one i could share my everything with.
a: your...everything? now I KNOW you're lying fuggy. i'm sure all you did in his room is nerd stuff. like...playing boardgames. maybe reading the dictionary.
p: well, you got it right. reading was definitely a part of it, except that it wasn't dictionaries, we read, analyzed and experienced romance novels.
a: do you still have those novels? how come you never invited me to experience them too
p: aapki bas ki baat nahi hain (it's not your thing), he is so good at it..
a: WOMAN i'll show you good *tips her onto her back*
p: *giggles*
*fade to black*
the end😉
