Seized by Sydney & Beats audio
Part 113
Sam called her Thursdayish
"manny is returning so I am hosting dinner" "Do u want to come?"😉
Umm NO I cant,😭
IF HE WONT GET THERE UNTIL MONDAY AT 2AM I CANT WHAT USE IS A VISIT TO SHANTI NIKETAN IF I DONT SEE HIM?
"Oh please don't say that... R&B bhi nahi hoga"🤣
Riiight... right... I SHOULD EITHER STOP LYING TO MYSELF OR LYING TO OTHERS😈
"Ummm doesn't he want to wish her good bye?"😲
Sam laughed... "tumhe uske bare mein nahi maloom, he is VERY RANDOM. kabhi he hasn't seen her for 6 months,
kabhi he will see her THREE WEEKS IN A ROW, he will fly from Paris to Sydney, JUST TO SPEND TWO DAYS WITH HER"😳
II's jaw dropped... 😲
GREAT THEN... MY LUCK...
TRUE II, U HAD YOUR CHANCE WITH A SEEDHA SAADHA IYER BOY THAT STAYS UP TO CLEAN HIS HOUSE,
AND WORKS 80 HOURS A WEEK, BUT ONNODA CHOICE ROMBA BRILLIANT... ONAKKU 6'3" STAYING UP AT NIGHTS READING...
A VENTURE CAPITALIST THAT MOONLIGHTS AS A CAR SALESMAN DAAN PIDICHIRKU SO PADU VEDANAI. U only like this guy so bhugto khoob😭
"Oh, three weeks in a row to Sydney?"😲
"Socho Ishita, mera matlab II, 21.5 hours times two, two times a week" she giggled "Three weeks in a row"😲
He is obsessive? Seized by Sydney?😲
"He can be passionate like that" Sam completed😳
"Umm... oh" "Oh" II struggled for words through a dry mouth...☺️
"He will fly with a backpack and a few books..."
NOT CONDOMS😭? II WANTED TO KNOW
"Oh? "Umm" II mumbled
"Aur wahan jaakar kya karega? Uske couch par lete books padhega,
US SE GINKAR 4 SENTENCES BAAT KAREGA POOREY DIN MEIN..WITH EACH LINE WILL EITHER DRIVE
HER UP THE WALL OR MAKE HER MURDEROUS..Kabhi kabhi mujhe Manny Lab se call karke royegi... he makes people so crazy"... he will expect to be fed... his hair is usually a mess when he returns,
Manny uske airport mein check ke time selfie bhejegi, it would be in these twirled clumps" Sam laughed hysterically🤣
"Mera mann karega uske cheeks pakadkar apne haathon se uske baal theek karoon like I do Nandu's"😳
Around "here" (IN MY FANTASY WORLD WITH UR BRO) We call it FINGER KANGI, ermmm and yes... hes gotten many...☺️
"He works in Paris?" she asked curiously
"He works whenever and wherever, he will work 30 every other day straight and not work a week after"
Sam said indulgently... "U have to throw books at the monster, warna usko sambhalna bahut mushkil hai, hes very naughty"😳😉
"Naughty?" II croaked😳
Sam laughed rolling on the floor literally
"I sound like I am talking about Nandu nahi?" Sam asked fearfully😃
"Worse" she whispered... her heart threatening to detonate😲😭
"Kya kahoon, ekdum lazy hai ek dum cheeky hai ,ekdum QUIET lekin jo bhi milta hai people like Vandu and you think he is an angel...
NO NO NO I DONT THINK THAT I HAVE SOME ADJECTIVES FOR HIM THAT MIGHT
CAUSE YOUR EAR TO CATCH FIRE.. NO... I DONT THINK HE IS AN ANGEL... I DONT... RAKSHASAN... THATS WHAT HE IS😡
"To tum aa jao koi khatra nahi hai, Vandita ko bhi bulaya maine" Sam gushed
"What did she say?" II asked😃
"KYON BATAYEN TUMHE? Aakar apne aap dekho" Sam scolded😆
"Main call kar loongi Akka ko" sulking😡
"Weve decided we wont tell u if she is coming or not" Sam chuckled😉
"KYON?"😲
"Kyon ki maine usko kaha tum ekdum quiet ho so if u see familiar faces
tum unke saath lagi rahogi and u wont talk with us, so u will be thrown out there and I want to watch u interact"
"I talk like nobody's business" II said😆
"Chalo aakar baat karo phir dekhenge hum"😉
II immediately called Vandu
"Nee poreya ka, are u going?"
"where da?"
"Ummm to Sam's" "for Manny's going away?"
"WHY?' asked Akka mischievously
"I am going" II said confidently
"Oh great" U shud kanna" Akka said
"WHERE is it?" Ii asked foolishly "Sam's hosue daane?"
"No, R&B's" akka gushed
"oh! Havent been there" II supplied unnecessary lies
She told Amma... Amma was not as angry as she was last time when Sree's proposal was lurking
But she wasn't happy either... "Why should YOU go? Vandu should go, Vandu's kid is friends with her kid, u? Doesn't make any sense ma"
"Sam is very nice Ma, she is not at all snobbish, or mean" Ii defended
"that could be... I am not denying that kanna" "No... All I am saying is, this
friendship thing is weird... u know where is the commonality? different language,
Iyers, vegetarians, not business people, not even 1% as wealthy as them,
u are not Sam's age... ONLY link is you deliver a product at Ranjan's office" Amma was baffled
Rightfully so
But in life we don't think so much... friends are formed when connections happen
"Amma she likes my voice and thinks ... I shud be a movie star" Ii blushed, rejoicing at the thought
"Ama last time she asked me if u will do cinema" Amma's tone was "She must be mad"
II shook her head
"Appa height onakku, u have ur Dad's height.. and u are so wrapped up in some drama u don't eat, and weigh less than u shud" stern
"OK I will eat more" "I promise"😳
"sree drama is over no more starving. U can starve for him and when u
fight with him but cant marry him... youngsters" Amma had a face palm moment
Kaash Amma ko har sach ka pata rehta...😆
"appa kitta enna solla porey? What will u tell Appa?" Ii asked
"Umm... I dont know... I will say u will come late" AMMA REFUSED TO LIE
"Romba late pannaade, dont be at the party until mid night" Amma suggested😭
"No Ma"
"Last time u went to the baby's party you returned at 2? and were sick for a week, ava ..sahavasam edo troubling aa irukku, their association seems a little suspect to me" Amma said bluntly😡😭
"I wont be dismissive like Appa, I am willing to relent and allow u to go, but dont make it a habit"😡
Amma will not reveal to her NOW what Natesam Mami had told her about Sree and II's proposal cancellation and what Natesan Mami made of
R&B and II showing up at Vandu's house at 10:30 that other night, Jan 26th.
Natesan Mami in her disappointment may have started "spreading rumors"
A time will come when Amma will bring it all out in the open soon
"You are young and single, you need to get out more, you sing wherever Appa and I sign u up for, uve topped every class uve taken so we are cutting you some slack" Amma spoke matter of factly
She was not prone to HUGE emotional swings like Appa, Appa was like II...
Amma was rational and practical
" Though I dont express it, I agree with Appa, we cannot allow affairs before marriage, or marriage out of the community" she said,
getting up to go get veggies for dinner.
"Tomorrow even eating meat will seem fine, stopping singing will seem fine, there is no end point" Amma said strictly
II sat there staring at Amma somberly...
But for now, she will defend her daughter and her stance of NOT wanting to marry Sree👏
Amma doesnt see anything wrong in II rejecting Sree...
What seems "perfect" to Amma Appa is obviously not to her... and they are fine with that... for NOW👏
~~~
Ofcourse Akka went, Akka Athim, and Shravu... it was at Malcha Marg...
and it began at 6, by the time Ii got off work, changed and got herself a cab, since Amma Appa were going at 4 to meet a "friend" in NOIDA
appa's car was unreliable so they took hers...
she realized she had left her laptop bag in her cube, she pinned her badge to her skirt😆
(Author's note:I put her in the following

Ran up to get it and ran back...
She had to work late tonight to review for a big Monday meeting when Rakshasan was going to be back and have his wits smacked
the French had left for Pondicherry, for a a couple days before they would return
She reached Malcha Marg fighting Friday evening traffic, later than expected...
She left her heels on, since it was a lawn/ living room ... send off
"Did u have to scan it at the gate?" Sam winked
"Kya?"
Tumhara badge" Sam chuckled..
"Oh! Sorry, I just wore it because I forgot my laptop so went to get it...
Sam took her bags and purse and kacket and then noticed it...
She handed it to her she instructed the help to put it away
Manny greeted her cheerfully... she was straight forward and talkative not very gushy or sweet like Sam
"U look lovely" she said to II
"thanks, mujhe laga evening party hai to"
"Sure... Chanakyapuri waits for an excuse to dress up" she said sniggering at the crowd
"So are u all set?" II asked
"Kind of" "I am leaving tomm nite, since u know I can leave after the party,
Vikram and me are going to be too dtrunk to walk through security" she giggled
"That wont be good" II said
"Do u drink?" Manny asked
"Wine... I guess.." II said
"thats probably a big thing for Iyers nahi?" she asked bluntly
"Not big, big taboo" Ii said sheepishly
Shravu arrived after 10 or so minutes
"Look at you, you look so lovely, all dressed up and no cute guys in sight" Vandu winked
"Too many actually" Ii tilted her head
Most men were HOT and well dressed... tall fair typical Punjabi good looks and reeked of money
"I am glad Bala dressed well, they will give him a complex di" Akka whispered
"athim is hot apdi sollaade" II muttered
"But look around YOU, so handsome... take ur pick Ishita, I will go talk" Vandu gushed
"Amma Appa enna panna porey, what do u plan to do with Amma and Appa?" Iia sked
Sam greeted vandu, checked on her "condition" Tanmay whisked Bala away for a "drink"
The party was posh, and page 3 esque...👏
She walked in to refill her glass of sparkling cider.. and wandered by the living room...
Beautiful slim carved tables lined the wall with lamps at both ends and artifacts on the center...
She walked over to the Monet in the little lounge by the living room... there must be a half dozen little rooms every where in this house... "WHY?"😲 and leaned on the wall eyes closed.☺️.. not noticing R&B come and go into the lounge, he didnt see her either
She walked along the wall, and noticed the red Beats earphone... she picked it up, and turned it.. the left ear "L" was faded
She knew whose it was, she picked it up and tucked it into her skirt pocket with a slow smile☺️
