Part 31
Basketball Matches & Making babies
She sat for an hour at the daily perk, the flowers were ofcourse SENT BACK to her desk... she returned to it at 7 ish and found it opened the note
"Thanks Ms Iyer (Dad said u want us to keep it professional)
and a HUGE SMILEY FACE ) for hanging out with Nandan, he ABSOLUTELY ADORES YOU, he thinks u are so tall you can actually win battles with Uncle R...
(in basketball), cant wait for the play date on Sunday for the boys
BTW, HAD MY BABY Thursday @ 11, Laasya..
Cheers!
Sam
Note to Sam:
NOT MY CHILD, TALK TO AKKA
SHRAVU IS AKKA'S NANDAN IS YOURS
Rakshasan is yours too...
BTW tell Nandan I might kill his Uncle R so he might have to change his opinion of me
I AM OUT OF THIS MESS
I dont want him or anybody..
P.S. I am not sending anything for your baby, nor wishing you.
I dont want to know that another little person that looks like Rakshasan has arrived in the world now
Denial is the best prescription
Thank you

She just picked up her purse, car keys AND PHONE and left work... met Baldev in the elevator
"TUJHE KYA HUA HAI?" he asked worried
"KYON?" she asked angrily
"Lag raha hai ya to kisi ka khoon peekar aayi hai ya peene ja rahi hai"
"I will not answer that hmmpppff"" she said staring at the elevator wall
Phool kisne bheja tujhe? I went to drop this month's CPA magazine on ur desk to dekha
"Friend" she mumbled
"Excelsior waala aaya tha dene, dushman se dosti kar li kya?" Baldev pressed on
"U think I can do THAT?" she demanded, in a roundabout way questioning HERSELF
"Dosti karne se maarne mein aasani rehti hai na baad mein"
"Going to bed with the enemy? U mean" she said
IDIOTTT! MOOLAYE ILLE II onakku, u are MADDD... DID U JUST SAY THAT?
Rakshasan would love THAT... you in his bed... he wont make love
HE WILL JUST SMIRK AND SNIGGER AND TAUNT AND JUST STARE... with those piercing eyes.. like no one has looked at u like that ever before
...as I lay there wanting him...he will just torment me with his face...
Ayyo Rama...
"Tu bistar tak pahunch gayi? That route is great too" Baldev winked and laughe dout loud
"Shut up Baldev, if u say one more word, I will stop the elevator and kill u with my bare hands and walk out and tell people u had some undiscovered health condition"
Baldev stared baffled yet again
She LOOKED different... flushed and angry all the time... not the confident bold II he knew a couple weeks ago...
His wife was picking him up so he took off she went home, DID NOT SING, just sat quietly in Periappa's room for a while
And then went to bed without dinner...
Saturday helped Amma around the house, went to the tailor, went to Malai Mandir with Amma... just wasted away the rest of the time until...
Sunday at 4 ish... until Vandu called, she was asleep from Noon...
"EVLAV TOONGUVE how much will u sleep get up di"
"WHY?" I WORK ALL WEEK, 80 HOURS A WEEK SOMETIMES 90, I AM ENTITLED TO MY SLEEP KA" she argued passionately, voice sleep drugged
"Ayyo Amma taaye neruthu, I called for help di so stop" Akka started laughing
Amma and Appa had gone to visit a friend that had knee surgery they were gone at Noon, she didnt have any lunch and just slept after washing her hair
Amma would have killed her but Amma was not here...
"What do u want?"
"Can u go pick up Shravu?" she asked
"from where" she mumbled dozing off again
"From Samyukta Batra's?" VANDU PLEADED
ENNA VELAYADREYA... NO NOT POSSIBLE NEVER, I WILL NOT DO IT AKKA" she sat up yelling
"PLEASE KANNA PLEASE DA? PLEASE CHAMATHU KUTTI" Akka rained sugary sweet nothings
"TELL THE MAN U MARRIED, AVAR ENNA PANRAAR, TOONGINDU IRUPAAR, HE MUST BE SLEEPING NO?'
"Chhe no kanna he took MIL to chithi's house, u know" Akka began her sasural politics
There is no one at home, Appa is alone (her FIL) I cant go the maid took the day off
WHY DID U SEND SHRAVU? I TOLD U WHEN I RETURNED UR KID ON SUNDAY? SATURDAY NOT TO SEND HIM TO THOSE PEOPLES"
I got 6 texts from Samyukta... DID YOU GIVE HER MY NUMBER?" Akka asked
AYYYO AAMA WHY DID I DO THAT... SHITTT ITS ON ME NOW... DARN IT... AYYO
Rakshasan,... his nephew is just like him.. persistent
"i am sorry" II saidf sheepishly
"i texted the address please raja" Akka was gloating
SHE HUNG UP WITH NO THANK YOU
Rakshasan had gotten to her already!!!!
She wnt back to sleep and was called by Akka again at 6
She pulled a Old Navy hoodie on and took off.. A&A had taken HER CAR AGAIN
I am NEVER BUYING A NICE CAR EVER AGAIN, Appa's keys she couldnt find... she took an auto..
JUST WHEN SHE GOT TO shanti Niketan gates she got a call from Akka
"THEY ARE AT MALCHA MARG IT SEEMS AT Nandan's Uncle R's Can u go there sorry da"
NO I CANT NO I WONT... NANDAN SHOULDNT EVEN BE PLAYING THIS WEEKEND THERE IS A NEW BABY AT HOME HE SHUD BE HANDING DIAPERS AND WIPES TO HIS MOM AND WATCHING THE BABY SPIT UP
