She showers for as long as she can, smiling and singing offkey, she wonders what she should wear, wonders where he is going to take her. "I shud suggest" "May be not" "I shouldnt make it apparent" "He shouldnt find out how eager I am to be with him"
She wears a Marc Jacobs dot print flared skirt in coffee color and a offwhite/creamish ruffled blouse with almost sleeveless/cap sleeves.
Ties her hair in a long silk pony tail with a coffee color scarf... and wears tan thong sandals with beadwork wrapping around her ankles
She spends inordinate amounts of time in her pooja, he is on the phone watches her go back and forth between the pooja ante room and the kitchen
Jamuna makes him more coffee and she gets more tea.
S: How long do you think you will be (complains)
K: Dont know (smiles smugly as she turns into her room)
There is unexplainable pleasure in making him wait for her
Watch him be impatient, and irked by her morning rituals
She smiles and winks at her mirror
He is on the phone again with Bhayya
Akshay wants to know how the "making out while pretending to be room mates" is going
He laughs out loud, "Making out is heavenly" he says smugly " Cant stand the separate beds
Akshay is shocked, mocks him about not being able to do a "touch down" on that one
S: She fights too much
A: SHE? Fights too much
S:Oh! well, I contribute some
A: You are an egotistical b----
S:Hey hey hey, I am the baby brother...
A:Baby my a--

S: Say hi to Bhabhi
A: Shez giving the lil guy a bath
S:Any plans for Delhi?
A:Dad and I leave for Sao Paolo in a week, may be then?
S: Cool! I didnt get to eat any chips BTW, my wife ate them all
A:Wife huh?
S:Yep!
They laugh and end the call
His hands play with the spiral note pad laying on the table by the couch. He picks it up when he notices her writing
There are three pages of notes, some amounts struck off some in bold, over written
Looked like his wife was in the "red"
It made his blood boil, he read and re-read the notes, trying to follow the chronology of dates, but it wasnt easy
He didnt know if he should admire her resolve to be this"savior" for her family or be mad at her for trying to hide it all from him.
She had paid him rent, with a smile, the devil in him egged him on to increase the amount next month
He didnt want to see her lose
He wanted to be everything for her
He wanted her to depend on him as much as she depended on herself
she wasnt embarrassed by the state of economic affairs in her own family.
Not at all!
She loved them as passionately as she made love to him...
He gently placed the spiral note back back he took it from
He knew she would come back and tear off those pages at some point
She walked by to the kitchen
S:Khanak chalo
Smiling she responded with "Kahan"
"Are you kidding me?" he said exasperated
K:Bus 10 min aur?
S:Bring me ur PC in the meanwhile
K:I have to password protect my files first
S: Is the password u are think of, by any chance "Shantanu?"
Her face coats with warm color "Umm... ummm" she lies "I dont use that name" (her current NT password)
S: Do you have any use for the man? (soft)
K: To replace the high light bulbs
He laughs at her quick wit
S:And?
K: Kill cockroaches
S:Aur?
K: Taste test spicy looking food?
She is leaning on the wall near the dining table, she is thoughtful and lost
He walks up to her She pushes his hair back from his forehead, as he checks her out... his bare feet (for a change) begin their art project on her ankles...
S:Bus itna hi
K: Haan... if I have to wipe off smudged lipstick, I need his tee
K: Fix the fuse
K: Trouble shoot my PC
His hands on either side of her head
S: What about when you ache (for me)?😳
K: Oh! I just go to a spa when my body aches😉
She smiles slowly...
