Having headaches reading too many articles, spoilers...so just thought of this fun post...
It was 6 am and both Mum and Mami in their gym attire, were doing aerobics in the garden, when Dev walked in and stopped, grinding his teeth...
Both Mami and Iswari were counting : er 1 er 2, er 3, Er4,
Dev said biting his teeth: Go easy on the kick boxing ma...you are flying too high and going to break the Italian glass doors and Mami please run on the thread mill , not beside it.! Good lord! Do I have to monitor here everything?
Mum was breathless - Dev are we going for breakfast later at Macs? I am starving, what with all these workouts I am hungry as a horse!
Dev shook his head - Oh really, you just started barely five minutes and you are tired and hungry already?. Don't you think anything else besides food Ma?
Mum retorted : hey watch your language ok? Don't get me started with your Sona thing...I am trying to forget how devious the two of you were romancing right under my nose... , by diverting my mind to food. So lay off ok?
Mami added in : Yes Iswari...didnt I say keep an eye on the that nutrition gal...now see what happened?
Dev looked directly at Mami with cold eyes : What happened Mami...? I advise you to keep your mouth shut on matters that does not concern you. Or you will be out in the streets begging! Clear?
Mami huffed and puffed - I was just stating the fact...there is no need to be so rude!
Dev said abruptly : And you are always rude to my gal...but don't think I didn't notice...And Ma, what is this with you forgetting Sona by eating? I thought we settled everything...why do you keep bringing this up at your wimp and fancy?
Mum defended :Why I cannot change my mind is it?
Dev said icily : Anyway, I am getting the marriage registrations this SAT and we will have a big...what the hell?
Before he could complete the sentence he heard a loud crash and saw his mother kicking and flying thru the glass doors, shattering the glass to thousand pieces and mami somehow seemed to have pressed the wrong button on the thread mill which jumpstarted the machine and propelled her forward flying in the air just inches behind Iswari and shattering the glass door and landing besides Iswari, ...
Dev shook his head and went to help his mother...taking a big glass panel from his mum's head...
Dev said with frustration : Didn't I tell you to stop this kick boxing...see what you have done to my doors!
Mum cried : What ? the doors are more important to you. I am not? Look at me , I am hurt..
Dev yelled : Of course I care about the doors! They were imported from Italy and you just clumsily crashed into it. Do you know how long we have to wait for the doors to be custom made and delivered? Do you ? Have you any idea mum?
Mum said with crestfallen face: But I am your mother! I took care of you through thick and thin.Is this way to speak to your mother?
Dev chided : Ma, you are not hurt at all. With all the protective gear both of you are wearing, you only hurt others but not yourself. Stop seeking attention. You are fine! Hey where are you going? I haven't finished...
Mum walked on : I am going to the the alter to pray...to stop this marriage on Sat ...how can you get married without informing me...let the gods punish you ...
Dev said sarcastically : Why are you talking to the god, when you can talk to me? I am right here, goddammit!
Mum continued if she didn't hear from Dev : pls god give Dev some new brains and make him forget the nutrition. I will roll around the temple 108 times...oops...I don't think I can do it...ok sorry , on 2nd thoughts, I will kick a ball around the temple 108 times...what say?
Dev laughed : Ma please, I know I don't believe in god, but for crying out loud, please don't insult him with your cheap negotiations ! Its disgusting and pathetic...at least do it properly!
Mum said with a scorn : Shup Dev!...this sat the marriage wont happen. Mark my words...god pls help and I will not eat mutton for the rest of my life. I swear !
Dev was trying to control his laughter - Mum I suggest don't promise something that you cant keep it. You thrive on mutton and admit it you cant live without it!
Mum relented : Ok fine soya mutton !
Dev said cruelly : Ma please you hurting your god...if you continue like this, tomorrow the deity will take off by itself. I am only getting the papers for the marriage registration .
Mum queired : So the actual wedding will take place with me around right?
Dev rolled his eyes upwards : As if I can avoid. Yes, it will mum!
Mum sighed : Oh Dev, you should have told me so
Dev said waving his hands : How to ? Before I could finish you went flying off like a super hero!
Mum said with what little shame she had : Ok don't remind of that. I am sorry...I am just worried you wont involve me...and ...where's mami
Dev looked at his mother pointedly : You are sitting on her mum ...you thought she was the bench and dragged her with you to the alter...
Mum yelped : Oh dear! Holly cow!
Dev said warningly : Mum I am warning you no more photoshoot tricks. Erasing sona out of the portrait was not cool!
Mum with hands on her hips : Are you threatening me...so what will you do?
Dev minced his words : I will cut you of the picture and replace it with the next door auntie's. Don't even think about any hanky panky thing stuff. I am getting married to Sona and that's final!
Mum said hurtfully : How can you so cruel! You are so mean!
Dev asked surprisingly : Me mean!!! Now pull yourself together and get ready to prepare for the wedding
Mum asked hesitantly : Dev about Breakfast
Dev continued as if reading her greedy mind : Yes big deluxe breakfast set with hotcakes, eggs and sausuage...3 sets right.
Mum added : No , I don't want that anymore...you know Muthu
Dev still carried on : The one with the Idly store in the road side stalls...
Mum said thoughtfully :Yup Yup, Yup he's the one. He owes me some money...and he told me he will pay in goods
Dev countered : Ok how many idlis?
Mum salivating : Not too many...just 25 will do dear!
Dev took a dig at his mum : Oh come on why not round it off to 30?
Mum agreed with a glee : Ok If you say so and Dev can you ask Muthu for more...
Dev walked awaw : I will bring the big pail and will ask him to pour the chutneys and sambar so that all the idlyis are swimming in it ?
Mum smiled : Oh dev .Oh Dev, What will I do without my firstborn
Dev finished : Torture the 2nd one perhaps?
