Pradyut appeared as she waited for the store to finish the alteration to her utter shock and horror
“You have a back order lehenga also?” she mocked gently
“I am told I need to pick you up
She was going to call a girlfriend, she didn’t want his ride
“I am good, you can leave” she said calmly
She was waiting outside the tiny shop
He leaned on the pillar across the walkway “I have to bring you home so take ur time deliberating” he promised
He looked tired, in a formal black pant and a green pin stripe shirt
Pia had texted him already “Your make believe wife just insulted our family massively”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Purse & Pride
“Mera purse kisi ne kaat liya” she mumbled sadly
“Whattt? How?” he was no longer leaning on the pillar
“I don’t know, I had a meeting with a school supply whole saler, Jagat Book Depot, two streets down from here” (waving) They were forcing me to order more things than I wanted, I had only researched a few products, for price parity, I took a break shopped, bought something, went back
Came back, Ive been on these streets since Noon” she exclaimed in frustration
“Did you report it stolen?”
“Umm.. abhi nahi phone mein battery sirf 12% hai”
He looked angry and agitated
“Let’s go, so we can get your phone charged first and call the cards and cancel”
“Abhi taq kaafi charge ho chuka hogan ahi?” she asked trying not to cry
“Probably” he growled
“Will they say I owe them all those charges?”
“Umm… lets go we can talk later”
“Mera lehenga abhi ready nahi hai”
“they are about to close, I doubt he can finish up”
“TUMHE kaise pata tum roz lehenga khareedte ho kya?”
“I think we already settled the gay question” he responded broodingly
“Umm.. I meant…”
“Let’s get you home”
Her shoulders slumped in relaxation, she had felt anxious and afraid the last hour, walking up and down the street as if she was going to find the wallet
“Can I see your bag?”
He reached for her cross body, and saw the gaping slit
“Beep” he swore colorfully
“Wait karke le lete hain na lehenga” she begged
“We have to go file a FIR, card companies will ask you to upload it” “Umm.. no, so we cant wait”
He asked when it will be ready, he was told a karigar had left early
In her distress over the lost purse she hadn’t noticed which employee was leaving the store
There was one person folding stuff up and putting it away
“There!!” Pradyut waved his arm
“Bhayya aapne kaha shop band hone se pehle mil jaayegi” she yelled
“Sorry madam uska ladka beemar hai”
She was irritated
“I wouldn’t have lost my purse if he had called me to inform” she growled
“Well that’s hole in the wall businesses for you” he rolled his eyes
“To main designer kapde loon?”
“I didn’t say that”
“I felt the jab” she felt her tears
“I am sorry, lets go”
She followed him glumly, carrying the six other shopping bags
He yanked them almost from her hand
“I am parked two blocks this way
He guided her, a cauldron of thoughts swirled in her mind, causing her head to hurt more
“I cant go anywhere until I have my driver’s license”
“You don’t have your car either” he growled
“Thanks”
“Whose idea was it for you to be meeting so late?”
“Nobody’s all mine”
He opened her car door and set the things in the trunk
“Balmukundji nahi aaye”
“He finishes at 7”
“Oh” she sat beside him sadly
He drove quietly
Pia called him, he talked tersely and hung up
“She told you right?”
“About?”
“I know she did, she wants you to know you offered marriage to a stranger and the stranger is a scam artist for accepting it”
He didn’t say a word
“I told her she has nothing to worry and I will leave when I can find the damn papers”
There was a loooong silence
“I really want to go back and run the store, I love it as much as I love Papa”
“I don’t need your money or the title” “You can tell Pia”
“Are you done?”
They glared at each other
“If that’s what you want, then you shouldn’t be blowing your Dad’s wealth on frivolous shopping adventures”
“How dare you?” she hissed almost choking in anger
“It’s a fact…. Your words and your actions are at cross purposes”
“You expect me to stare at the wall and mope at home?”
He didn’t respond
“I didn’t buy anything for you so I guess I DID save money”
“Good to know”
She wouldn’t let him touch the bags at home
Sumedha called her twice
She got out of the shower with a bigger than ever head ache called her back for 5 minutes
“I am good… kaafi thak gayi main” she mumbled
“I am sorry for leaving you behind beta” Sumedha was sad
“No you didn’t I told you my meeting broke into two parts”
“I shouldn’t have you lost your purse, I am glad I had the sense to send Pradyut”
“Umm.. I”
“No don’t say anything just accept my apology, I hate crowded marketplaces I will never leave you alone from now”
“Hahah no don’t be so serious… Mu… umm..” Taaruni fought the urge to say Mummy
Sumedha fell silent as if she wished Taaruni would say it
“I am used to traveling alone, I was in Singapore for a few years”
“I know, Pradyut told me”
Taaruni realized he must have dug deep in her past to find dirt
“Don’t worry about me, I had too many bags and wasn’t paying attention to where I was going”
“Did you cancel the cards?”
“Oh sh—abhi nahi, I will call you tomorrow……..”
“I just sent food with Umeshji”
“Thanks… Mu… Aunty” “thanks”
“good night beta”
Taaruni logged on to her computer and canceled every card
Two cards were already at lakhs of rupees in purchases
She stared out the window helplessly
“Food’s here” he growled tapping on the door
“two cards have been charged for lakhs” she blurted tearfully
He briskly walked over to her bed and peered at her screen
“Can you send me screenshots”
She looked at him doubtfully
Its OK” she said quietly
“You want to eat lakhs in fraudulent charges to spite me?”
“I can appeal”
“HOW?”
“How were you going to do it?”
He sighed tauntingly “Really?”
“Are you the CEO of Axis Bank and ICICI?”
“Be my guest”
He left her
Her shoulders slumped in relaxation, she had felt anxious and afraid the last hour, walking up and down the street as if she was going to find the wallet
She unknowingly is trusting him. Even if it’s tiny bit.
Won’t be long before she will get in the trap of relying on him even further.
