Pride & Prej with a twist - Page 41

She cant evan have some maggi in peace....they are in some sort of tangled mess, good to see their interactions progressing, atleast they are in speaking condition. It's like if Raanav didn't show up she would happily forget his presence

@Barrister

She is more disappointed at not being able to devour her noodles. She clearly didnt want to see him there

Banda dheere dheere pagal ho raha hai. she really doesnt care

YET...

I could really do with some 'Maggie 'therapy now!

Say Yes!

“Shaadi kab karogi beta?” Dadai’s first Q to her as Papa stuffed the trunk with all the luggage, Dadi needed help walking even with her cane, so she was seated first

“Agle 5 saalon mein?”

“Buddhi hokar byah karogi?”

“Thanks Dadi” Viveka giggled trying to figure out how toget out of the parking garage

“Main Akash ko poochhi hoon who kuch batata nahi”

“Aap Ma ko poochhen, MA hi hai saare fasad ki jar” Vivekalaughed screechily in her own head

“usko apni manayjari se fursat mile tab na?”

“Dadi she is a Program Manager, you almost went to collegeyou should say it” Viveka teased

“MAIN 1963 mein bharti honey waali thi, hamari Ma guzargayin” she began to cry

“Don’t cry Dadu… meri jaan… mwah mwah” she blew manykissed on her cheeks

Viveka went on her phone, Dadi snoozed, one car was brokedown, Naina took the other one, the girls took the Metro

“Chal beta” Akash peeked

“Arey Ma… kyon ro rahi hain?”

“iski shaadi kab ho rahi hai”

“Arey MA HO CHUKI… bahut raees hai ladka aur bahut padhalikha bhi hai”

Dadaji did a face palm

“KAB hui?” Dadi was all alert and sat up straight

“Aap milo to… pehle… Viveka ki tarah hoshiyar hai…. Aur zabardastargumentative hai”

“Who kya hai… LAMBA hai?”

“Nahi… umm.. behes mein maahir” referring to the friendlydebates to Abhishek

“To vaqeel hai kya?”

Viveka laughed hysterically “Too much Papa” she giggled

“Mil lena khud”

He was the fun kind

Dadi was a nag

Viveka laughed as she pulled out

“Kabhi lautegi Anubha?”

“Lagega Ma 8, 9 din”

“Abhi ghar war chhodkar”

“MAIN HOON NA” Akash did a SRK tilt

“Arey beta TERI wajah se sab kuch hai”

Viveka cleared her throat loudly

“Aur Viveka?”

“Bibeka to bas… chashma pehankar masterni ban gayi”

“Dadi maine chashma 10 saal se pehna hai”

“Haan Professor bhi das hi saal se hai na?”

“Aapke mooh mein ghee shakkar… mile jaaye HAYEEEE” Vivekasighed

“Ph D ki admission kab ho rahi hai beta?” Dadu checked hisphone

“Dadaji I applied a week? 2 weeks ago… Kharagpur, and DSchool”

“D School mein kar le, Akash khush ho jaayega”

“Try to karoongi… par IIT zyada possible lag raha hai”

“Saree mein meri poti kitni sundar dikhti hai…. Chashma utaarde beta…. Ladkon ki line lag jaayegi”

Viveka laughed again

“Mujhe line kyon lagani hai Dadi”

“Naina ko keh de saree pehenegi” Dadi listed out all herdemands

Akash slept in the back

Dadi kept chattering as Viveka drove home

It was barely 10 AM

The girls and Naina had left for the day

Viveka served breakfast while taking student calls, “No nono no… that’s not what I said”

“Yeah, you basically talk about … umm.. yay a… line up the ratios up top, thenumber or count… and then show yr over yr decline in poverty, no… no… just dodecades… every 5 would make the slide too busy”

“Beta Dadi bula rahi hain” akash peeked

“sorry guys my Dadi is here I am going to go now” she hungup made a face and went out

“Jee Dadi?”

“Milogi kya… Dad uke door ke rishte ka hai ladka?”

“NAHI… absolutely not… PAPA” Viveka scowled

“Gorakhpur ka hai”

“Dadi please nahi…. Mujhe Ph D karni hai…. Aapne phone parpromise kiya tha kal raat ko kia ap mujhe shaadi ko lekar pareshaan nahikarengi…. Mere do students kisi bahar ki university ko present kar rahe hain…unko US jaane ka chance mil raha hai, maine call kata “ Viveka was not happy

“Ja beta tu” Dadu nodded as she began to walk

“TO? UMAR bhar aisi desh ki sewa gareebon ki sewa mein lagirahogi?”

“JEE” she smiled

“Ladka doctor hai, 4 manjilon ka clinic hai… KUCHH nahikarna padega, bas ghar par baitho… aur naukron ko aadesh do”

“WOWWW” Viveka mocked

“Savi Bua ki tarah…. Tumhare Ma ki tarah nahi… dekho, ISUMAR mein bechari…”

“Amma… she has a fantastic job… khoob job hai uski…Program Manager se seedhe Program Director ban jaayegi shaayad… bottcamp meingayi hai…”Akash was upset

“Manju… rehne do padhne do bachi ko”

“TEES ki ho gayi”

“I AM 29” Viveka smiled

She rarely lost her temper but she was almost gettingthere

THIS… THIS close” she did a pinch with her fingers underher pallu

“Chalo raat ko Ma ka phone aayega main baat karoongi”

“Pakka… sagai paaki kar dein aap, main phir mil loongi”

She went off to work in her room, Dadi anD Dadu napped,Papa made lunch, they all ate with more interrogation

Around 7 Bua’ssummon came, and Viveka loaded them in the car and drove them over

Akash could not go since he had a work call from 6-8 with HQ

Naina was summoned to Shrivastavs, and so were the twins... directly after college

She helped both out and Dadu walked by himself, as Kamalcame out to greet them

Viveka helped Dadi and walked slowly, now changed into afloral Aladdin’s genie like harem pantsand a skinny tee

Harsha sprinted out to help, followed by lazily waltzingRaanav

“Lo Harshu aa gaya..” Dadi loved her grandsons… for sure

“Nani… namaste” he touched her feet

“Bibeka… mujhe raaste bhar daat ti aayi hai” Dadicomplained

“What did she say?” harsha whispered in her ear laughing uncontrollably,

Harsha knew why Viveka could have told off Dadi

“Ladkon ki tarah chalati hai gaadi… dupatta kyon nahi lee tumne” “DUDE I wear a F----- SAREE” every damn day”

Dadi stood there staring at the house

“Teri baat khatam ho jaaye mujhe le chal andar” shescolded the kids, Kamal was almost there. So began talking with her husband andson in law all joyfully, Harsha joined in, greeting his Nanaji

Raanav watched amused

“Yeh kaun hai?”

“JESUS!! Dadi” “Uff”Viveka laughed under her breath, pushing up her glasses, trying not to make eyecontact with Raanav

Dadi was being really cringe!!

“Dost ho? Pehle nahi dekhe hum tumhe?” Dadi wanted his ID, his shirt sizehis s----l orientation, his bank account, how many times a day he showered

“Umm.. ya…Harsha’s friend” he laughed “getting” the driftas he tried to answer all questions with no visible smile, but his cheeksflushing holding back his snigger

“To kya umar hai beta?” DADI ASKED THE UNTHINKABLE

“DADII” Viveka visibly squirmed

“My age?” Raanav asked as if he could not understand HINDI

“Chhotey dikhte ho….” Dadi insisted

“Jee 30”

“Shaadi ho chuki beta?” “Hamare Harsha ka kuch jam nahiraha” Dadi asked the Q

OH NO SHE DID!!

OH YEAH SHE DID

Girllllll!!

“Say yes” Viveka gave Raanav the most charming smile and “sayyes” she repeated

“Haan” he smiled

“Dekh lo saare doston ki ho chali hai… tum ek akelekunwaare ho” Dadi mocked Harsha about still being single

That woman's only mission in life was to see her grandkids married

As he charged after Viveka… Viveka let go of Dadi’s hand and took off

So, he's 30! Dadis can seriously embarrass you. I've been through it countless times.

I'm 29 and not married. So I can totally empathise with Viveka. Not just dadi, every relative and even random strangers poke you.

@Sudhi!

You go girl! Beep all of them!! You live your life!!

Marriage is not the be all and end all of life. It will happen... until then, lift your middle finger to who ever is unkind and cruel about it.

One thing's for sure. Dadi does what not many have so far managed to achieve . Viveka is 100 percent alert mode on when Dadi is poking her nose around.

JEEZ! Viveka was not only clued in but also REACTED TO her external surroundings, got the Dude to answer in affirmative 👏

That was the cutest' Haan' anyone could have ever made Raanav's mouth . Say yes! Oh Yeah!😳

While it's sort of hilarious to read about nosy/ noisy 'nepotistic well wishers' poking personal affairs, its no fun in real life! It's an icky invasion and violation of one's privacy and it's natural to resent that. While curiosity is human nature, sadly people don't even realize how terrible their social skills are.

I know, right! 😂

Her vibe was totally like..

Uff!! Ab yeh yaha kyu aa gaya?!!??

I, for one, am just glad that she's started taking note of him.. recognizing who he is, remembering what he said..

She's so lost generally, I'd say even that's progress

“Agle 5 saalon mein?”

“Buddhi hokar byah karogi?” 🤣

Raees, padha likha and argumentative.. Aakash Mathur will soooo chew his own words one day 😆

Say yes.. Haan

Unhone kaha aur inhone haan kar di ❤️😳

He charged after Viveka..

Errr... who did? Raanav or Harsha?

If it's Raanav, can we puhlejjjj hurry after them?
