5 weeks, 5 Days & Rs.1,773
II heard soon after, Akka had told her casually that naming ceremony was at MM
But she didnt know she was going there "for good"
Ranjan and Sam had left by the time she got done with her shower, fed and changed her daughter
He took a nap, after working and reading all night, last night at MM
He wasnt used to not being by his daughter, yep, his 9 day old daughter was causing him insomnia
He lay by her and snoozed
Ii wandered over and tidied the room, Nivi lay partially awake, the room was moist and muggy
Not warm enough for the baby... to turn on the AC since it was only April 26th, but extremely humid
He slept unaffected
II turned the dial on the fan's regulator, mmm..mmm it wudnt budge
Nivi looked like she was following the spinning blade, making faces at it
She got on the bed on the other side and kissed her cheek
"He stays up all night and takes a nap when he sees u" II complained to her daughter, inserting her index finger into the tiny fist
II inhaled the neck... Amma and Athai had given her a bath in the morning
She smelled like Ponds powder Athai accidentally dusted some off, without realizing a designer basket of baby things awaited Nivi on the bed
Sam had dropped it off the day after II came to DII with the baby
She listened to music, helped Athai clean the living room, Amma wouldnt let her enter the kitchen until she was rested atleast for 40 days
Athai asked if R&B needed coffee or he will have lunch when he wakes
"Lunch" II nodded
She went searching for Amma and Appa, their room was shut, she returned to the living room
"Athai, Brinda Vasu will come here no this weekend?" II asked smiling
"They have school, neeyum poyiduve" Athai sighed (u will go off to MM)
"I thought I am coming back atleast for a week or two until the 40th day I thought?" II said hesitantly
"When u were taking a nap mid morning earlier today, and then showering etc, ur FIL and SIL spoke with Appa and convinced him its a good idea for you to stay there after
naming ceremony tomorrow" Athai explained in Tamil darting nervous glances along the corridor, hoping Amma or Appa will come rescue her
II's heart sank... she sat back down on the couch
"Athai..." II groaned
"Varutha padaade di kozhande" (dont be upset) Athai cooed sitting down by her
"Periappa gets to see her every day" II cried softly
"Vaayen, vandu kamichittu po" (come show her no?) Athai said generously
"FORTY days la enna ayidum?" (why cant I stay 40 days?) II begged
"Ida paar kanna" (listen to me love) "Elathukkum kochukka koodadu di, amma ayachu ippo nee" (u cant sulk for everything ur a Mom now) Athai explained
"Avanukku teriyuma?" (does R&B know?) II asked
Athai squirmed and nodded
II got up and went back into the room, he was on her ipad, loading some startup site
"U know Dad and sam spoke to Appa?" she asked
"I did" he nodded firmly
"I am the last one to know" II said gruffly
"I thought Sam texted u and so did (Ranjan)" he paused
"I THOT THEY WERE KIDDING" she shrieked
And then clamped a hand on her mouth when she realized there was a baby, there was periappa, nurse, athai and parents...
AYYYO!!!
WHAT ARE U DOING?
MORON!
NOBODY TOLD ME
UGHHH
"Akka said u will go back on naming ceremony day, I thought she was kidding becoz I always told Amma I want to be here atleast 40 days" II said firmly
"I think its a better idea to go tomorrow" he said firmly
"What about what I WANT?" she challenged, softly hands on her hips
"II" he warned
"Its f**king 5 weeks and 5 days... not like akka THREE MONTHS" she complained
"Weve been through this whole thing in January" he said dismissively
"this is not a non negotiable contract like a start up funding" she mocked
"I agree, but everyone thinks tomorrow is a good day"
"I DONT THINK SO" II hissed
He got off the bed, and found his earbuds, and his phone, Nivi shook in sleep, he walked over and turned the fan down
"She is not colddd" II argued
He didnt argue, as usual, he did what he did best, went mute
"I am telling u right now I want to come back after the ceremony or during the weekend" II declared
"I dont think anyone wants u to flit between houses " (he meant Ranjan and Sam)
"I can talk to Sam" she said smugly
"BTW I believe there is a Punjabi tradition, post partum must be at the husband's home" he said without smirking
He couldnt believe he came up with that... he had heard Sam say something during Nandu's pregnancy and her MIL shooting the request down
"So when did u become the gate keeper of Punjabi rituals?" she challenged, with disbelief
"Not sure" he shrugged, unaffected, hands in his pockets
Cargos, check shirt, ruffled and crushed in places
He looked every bit like the insolent bas***d he was in Nov 2014...
II sat on the edge of the bed
"U hate my Dad so u are probably loving this" II hissed, slamming him below the belt
"I wudnt go there II, if I were u... while we are here" he whispered
Nivi stirred and stretched and cried
She went to pick up her daughter and he left D II
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On April 27th, they were made to wake early, Akka was at MM along with Sam's family setting everything up, Sitaraman cooked up a storm
Vetri's Dad send a bunch of guys to tie, banana trees on the doorway, and string mango leaves all across the 10s of lamposts strewn around the property
Ranjan had hired shehnai and nadaswaram and guests were beginning to drive up.
Appa had argued endlessly and Ranjan had relented and let Appa pay for the expenses
the contractor came by at 7 AM ASKING FOR REMAINING MONEY
After finishing up work at MM
II was in the living room, R&B was on the phone in the balcony
He paid the contractor Rs.1773... after glaring at II
Appa rushed out buttoning his shirt all crooked and promised to pay R&B back
the house was going to be bustling with activity in a couple hours around the 10 AM Muhurat...
The mandir was cleared, for havan and the priests arranged the prayer utensils
Nandu and Shravu chased each other wearing veshtis... with a water gun
Soaking a kanjeevaram pavadai clad Lasya, a purple lehanga with red border and red blouse, two fountains on her head, and jasmine strung in between
And even a BINDI...
She waddled and fell and waddled, crying blue murder when the boys sprayed
Sam was too busy holding Shubhang and ordering the help around
Akka sipped filter coffee and shared YT videos with her
Tan and his Panchsheel cousin and Ranjan chatted
II was bathed ceremonially and so was the baby, the baby was dressed in pink Kanjeevaram lehanga with a navy blouse, perfect length and size
Made to order... by Sam ofcourse.
II wore a grand paithani in gold and flame red... Athai braided her damp hair and strung flowers
They did the lil ceremony at D II and headed out to Malcha Marg
He drove quietly, she rode in the back seat of Savita Bhalla's white
Toyota Land Cruiser, R&B had gotten it serviced and cleaned up, and fitted the car seat in it
He brought his angel home in his Ma's fave ride...
Akka and Sam did a red dye liquid arti for them... Appa and Amma's car was on its way.. with the rest of the family
Akka took the baby from her, and when Shubhang began to cry, handed baby back to R&B
Sam went off to mediate a fight between the boys near II's veggie patch
The men were missing too
II walked in quietly...
"Do mujhe BACHEEE" II ordered still grumpy and belligerent
He walked over... and stood in front
"Kudu" she reached with both her arms
"U owe me Rs.1800 II" he whispered
And bend down and began to kiss her brazenly in a house full of people
He couldnt lay on her erotically like he had a year and a half ago, there was a lil human creature in between.
The same taste of espresso, the after shave, the stubble, the gentle throbbing of her heart instantaneously transforming into vigorous pounding
The soft moan she let escape, just as his lips were about to touch, he paused until she released it fully
And then claimed her lips mercilessly
Enjoying every nano second of her nervous fluttering
OH! HOW MUCH POWER HE HAS... OVER MEðŸ˜ðŸ˜¡ðŸ˜³
Her feet felt like feathers, folding and twitching, trying to hold up...
And then that feeling... he groaned too... if it was any consolation to her
They jointly ensconced the sleeping newborn between their warm bodies😳
bas***d!!
FOR A MAN THAT CLAIMS TO NOT CARE FOR MONEY
U SEEM TO HAVE AN UNUSUAL LOAN SHARK LIKE ATTITUDE WITH WHAT I OWE YOU
PAAVI!!
Notes to self:
1. Next time when u have a baby and return to rakshasan's lair, return with my padai (ARMY!), make it a grand entrance so he doesnt get his way
2. Next time a contractor shows up at the door at DII, make sure u hand the family silver or gold so dude doesnt have to pay
3. DONT ASK HIM ANYTHING... U asked for a ride he asked for Rs.100, u asked him to hand u the baby he wants Rs.1800
4. HE LIES TOO... he wants Rs.7 more than he paid
Notes to Dude:
1. It still doesnt make ur dishonest, devious, dishonorable behavior go away
2. I will tell Appa u did this to me...
3. I will ask the contractor to kiss u next time
This is for Jas's anniversary
Happy anniversary Jas
Hope u have many many more
Being married to a good man is in itself a rare gift. You are so lucky!!!
Hope u will cherish every minute of it.
