Orchestrating happiness
"Will u promise to take care of yourself?" Ranjan asked, wiping away tears
Ii nodded
"This has nothing to do with the baby" he said vehemently. "You are precious to this family" he continued
She lowered her head embarrassed.
"I have known Bansal for 20? 30 years now... he suggested I think about TransPro for my showrooms and workshops. I dont dabble in the back end" Ranjan was sheepish
"I sell sometimes to famous clients, u know, Maruti is a house hold name. Namak mirch ki tarah hai ab Maruti, its a commodity. It doesnt require high power selling tactics"
"It sells by itself in the middle class egment. High end automobiles require selling. Thats why I am eager to go back and try a European model, the Mercedes talks are on an impasse right now
I am hoping I can convince Volkswagon or Saab to trust me" he said knowledgeably
"I dont... umm.. I havent acepted a check or cash and printed a receipt off in years" he chuckled
"bansal dasseya si... I thought lets buy this thing. He could use a big name buyer. I could use a reliable SW to speed things up" he smiled
"Jab aap aaye pehle din meri office mein, aapke jaane ke baad mere tab ke admin ne kaha "Itni sundar ladki maine kabhi nahi dekhi"
II smiled
"Ab dekho yeh meri bahu hai"
II inadvertently darted a gaze towards hubby... "Umm.. May I get some of that credit?" his eyes said
"Warna is se to maine ummeed chhod di thi" Ranjan smiled
"Appa wasnt too happy" II muttered
"jaanta hoon puttar... woh ab bhi khush nahi hai... Iyer logon ki baat hi kuch aur hai" Ranjan spoke in awe
"Its not that..." II mumbled
they were all quiet
ITS MARLIESE
AND ITS EVERYONE HES DATED SINCE HE WAS 16
THE WOMEN HES BEEN SEXUALLY ACTIVE WITH
HIS VAGABOND LIFESTYLE
THE FREQUENT TRIPS TO MOUNTAINS LIKE A HERMIT
YOUR SON LIVED LIKE A SANYASI BEFORE TRYING GRIHASTHASHRAM
"Appa ne soch samjhkar yeh nateeja kiya hoga" Ranjan spoke somberly
"Aagar aap meri beti hoti, to main bhi" he paused
R&B had a look of"Gee Thanks!!"
II's eyes danced
"Phir main yaha nahi hoti"
"Iske saath rehna asaan nahi hai betaji" he pointed to his son
"Main bhi bahut ladti hoon Dad" II spoke spontaneously
Ranjan smiled wide... "Pati ki burayi nahi sun pa rahi?" he chuckled
She blushed
"Kal ja rahe ho daftar?"
She nodded
"Have u heard anything from ur team?" he asked
"About what?"
"Punjab ko waise ka waise rok jo diya maine" he asked
"Dad's thats not right" she spoke softly. "I am hoping to feel better soon... and it shouldnt stop for reasons like this" II spoke clearly and firmly
"Agar aap bank mein job karte, kisi ad agency mein hotey I wouldnt have used my connections" Ranjan argued
"Nevertheless Dad... it doesnt reflect well on my capabilities... I should not have u build me a special handicap access when I dont need one" II mumbled
"What is the use of knowing people then?" he asked
"Mrs Sagar can save brownies for me" II smiled gently
"Brownie tey tere waaste roz shaam nu Mahavir laayega puttar" he promised
"No no... I meant... being able to come up to the 20th when I feel like taking a break is good enough Dad" she stressed
"U are speaking like a principles Iyer now" Ranjan was unhappy
"dad, KMPG mein women get pregnant every day... they take personal time off and return when they can. We dont stop selling or supporting or
maintaining a product or stop providing consulting advice because some one knows the VP" she whispered
"I will do the best I can to protect you puttar" he reiterated
"i know that Dad... but somethings will clearly counter act" she reminded
"Meri madad to kisi nu chaida nahi... woh Sydney baithi hai, Sam ne kuch maangna nahi... isne duniya bhar ko finance karna hai Angel... thats what he is" Ranjan sounded a lil cynical
Ii squirmed
R&B had a bland look
"i will be fine" she whispered
"Jab tak 1st trimester nahi ho jaata Dilli reh sakte ho kya?" he asked bluntly
She looked at R&B...
He had a look of "I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT"
"I can try... its a large corporation Dad... things happen slowly, there are polocies for
everything. A certain protocol needs to be followed. I cannot choose my responsibilities or work structure" she said in despair
"Khush ho wahan?" Ranjan asked bluntly
Cricket
