Metro branch & Treatise
She walked back to the living room, Appa was holding the remote in his hand, Amma sat on the couch, he stood glaring over her
"Appa please STOP IT!!! Its about time we got a new car for you guys"
Appa did a stop motion with his hand
"No I wont!! Pa You are yelling at Amma for no reason, Paavam she returned from her book meeting at 9, u know how much she does for us" II teared up
Amma was crying too...
"We dont need a new Maruti" Appa hissed
"AYYYOO! I was looking at Hyundai Elantra or Sonata, even if that day ever comes
when u accept my choice and accept that family and smiling accept their kindness I WONT... I NEVER WILL PA"
Appa stared at her in disbelief
"Your father in law promised during the wedding "I shouldnt hesitate to ask you anything, you will still be our
daughter etc. Avar yaar adellam solrathukkku, OFCOURSE you will be our daughter, a daughter we raised with so much affection and attention"
"HE IS MY FATHER IN LAW, even if you dont accept it its the truth Pa"
"U are telling me, you will tell ur father in law you wnat to get us a Hyndai and he will nod his head?" Appa sniggered
"I am NOT going to tell you what I will tell him, or I will tell R&B BOTH are my responsibilities"II warned
"She should have come to me first when she felt it was time to get rid of the existing car" Appa sounded betrayed
"SEE!! THATS EXCATLY HOW I felt when u guys hid the fact about Akka from me" II said beginning to cry
"Nee azhaada kanna" Amma begged
"I am OK I am going to call Akka"
"Its 11:27 dont raja, they will be asleep"
"I cant sleep until I hear her voice" II choked up
She got her phone and dialed again, she didnt answer Athim didnt either... she left her phone on the coffee table
They finally switched off the AC and the TV and all headed to bed
II took another pain med, and slept like a log, Amma woke her at 7... though her head ache was gone she didnt feel very good.
Appa pushed the Metro section of Hindustan Times towards her, his version of olive branchðŸ˜
II realized something, startled, she hadnt charged her phone at night, it had 27% battery, she went to texts, there was none from him
"I am sorry" she texted
She drank her coffee, called Akka
"HOW ARE YOU?" she demanded
"I am fine raja" Akka sounded exactly like Akka, happy cheerful and upbeat
She could hear thatha's chanting in the back, Athim scolding Shravu to drink his bournvita fully
Akka paused her and yelled "Avanoda permission slip for field trip is on the water bottle side (his permission slip )
"Does he have school already? Akka asked
"No kanna zoo trip" Akka muttered
(Author's Note: I have no idea of DPS exams schedules I am hoping 1st 2nd week of April is the time off after final exams and the session starts later)
"Niiice, aana is it too hot?" II asked
"Ya like a 9 year old cares di... WHY DID U CALL ME SO EARLY?" Akka shouted suddenly realizing
"Because I love you and I miss you" II began to sniffle
"Achocho! CUTIE I am OK kanna..."
"how is my protege?" II asked
Akka laughed hysterically
"Ayyo! she is ALREADY like you, causing Bala and I to go grey" Akka laughed
"WHY?" Ii acted innocent
"Umm yoon hi... she KICKS more" Akka LIES TOO
"LIAR... Amma told me" II cried openly now
"Hey SILLY GIRL... its VERRRY common. Get pregnant u will know... I am going to tell ur
Rakshasan to get on the job, condom um vendaam oru mannum vendaam (no condom shondom biz)" Akka explained
Ii giggled sniffling
"This is as much fun as the sex u know... sorry WAY MORE" akka said somberly in a way only Akka can, mature and composed...
"I promise when u have ur third one I will take 9 months off and BE WITH YOU" II promised
"THIRD AA? Enna velayadreya? At 36 the 2nd is sending me for a toss" (are u kidding?) Akka warned
"I want u to, u are such an awesome Amma ka, BETTER THAN AMMA" Ii shouted the last part
"I know Amma is there, nee kathaade (dont shout) Akka giggled
Amma rolled her eyes and said "CALL HIM" she ordered
II nodded POLITELY to that command for the first time... as separation anxiety began to kick in
She was missing Malcha Marg a sliver... JUST a sliver... but she was...
"Is the dude with you, enge kudu" Akka asked
"No ka I came all by myself" II giggled
"Chee paavam... what is he upto?" Akka supported him immediately
"Must be on a French call or asleep, since I am not home he must have stayed up all night reading..
or working and gone to bed at 5, face down arm stretch ALL the way across the bed, like he owns the whole bed" she spoke fondly
reminded of the mornings in paris when she woke and went to plant a kiss on his cheek after her shower...
his cheek was stubbly and warm to her cold firm lips...😳
A swift groan escaped her😳
"Bring him too kanna next time" Akka said indulgently
"I should" II nodded
As she hung up
and help Amma make upma... Appa showered and sat down for pooja the nurses switched duty... Selvi came, yet another D II morning
When she cleaned the living room behind Selvi's sweeping motion, she checked her phone again... no return texts
She called him and for the first time listened to his voice mail
"Hey Thanks for calling, please leave leave a message" it said
"I am sorry da. My head was hurting and umm... I... nevermind" she hung up sadly
She showered and wore one of the salwar suits she had left behind at this house, a Stop outfit with yellow chudidaar and magenta kurta...
She checked her messages as she braided her hair again...
No VM or TM...
"Will u give me a ride to work?" she asked hoping to leave her car for Amma
No messages back
She ate her upma, asked Amma to give her a stack of answer sheets, she was buried in work but paavam Amma she needed a break too
Amma handed her 200... she couldnt say no... she even got a shiny new red ink pen.
She spent 10 minutes with Periappa apologizing for being a brat last nite and hurting everybody... he smiled vaguely
"U agree no... sometimes I am terrible?" "i apologized to him, called him and texted him he is very angry with me"
"Am I being foolish in shouting at him like that? Does my marriage have different dynamics? Can I treat it like Akka treats hers? take the same liberties you think?
Last nite I was so mad at Amma and Appa I yelled at him. Now he wont talk to me. is it because its all normal or is it because I blew it?"
She spoke her treatise on the topic... he listened like he heard it all and drooled like he didnt care... she wiped his face clean kissed his forehead, hugged him
"Friday avana kootindu varen. Try and get a WORD out of him" she giggled "If u do... I will buy you your favorite chocolate from Modern Bazaar the cinnamon flavored dark chocolate"
Sent the nurse back from the living room
Amma gave her some kesari she made on Saturday for some Balaji celebration at the temple.
Amma scolded her for not talking to her paattu teacher, she took all her tailor repair jobs and promised to turn it in
Gave her clothes she left behind last time... she secretly called a cab when Amma was in the shower, and left her keys in her top chest of drawer
And headed to work after 8 told Amma NOT to come to the balcony to wave😉... "I will come again on Thursday or so and again with him on Saturday" she promised😃
Amma nodded happily... gave her Rs. 501 since they hadnt bought anything for her...
She did namaskaram to the temple and her parents drank her second dose coffee and took off
She texted "Please da?"
Not a word
Went up at Noonish "Can I have a quick work with him Mrs Sagar?" she requested
"Oh! he is in a meeting until 2 I am sorry" Mrs Sagar apologized
She returned, went up at 2 EXACTLY
" Can I see him now?" she asked politely
"Oh! he didnt stop by? I told him u were here, he joked about how u were seeing each other every day at work, and promised to stop by at 7th before he went to the airport"
"Oh?" "Oh?"
"U know to Blore" Mrs Sagar said not looking at her, since she assumed II would know
"Right right... I forgot" "darn it... I will just call him"
II pretended to call as she walked towards the hallway that led to the Excelsior lobby that led to the door to the stairwell
She walked back to the living room, Appa was holding the remote in his hand, Amma sat on the couch, he stood glaring over her
"Appa please STOP IT!!! Its about time we got a new car for you guys"
