Acquisitions & Apples
He walked over to her and turned her around gently, she was stiff and unrelenting
"Its a fricking laptop, you should let it go"
"I cant because Sant Ram asked me if my friend "USED IT" she spat back
He let go of her shoulders, tucking his hands in his pockets...
"I can call her again, I NEED YOU TO STOP"he said firmly
She sat on the bed, and immediately got up... turned and looked at it... oddly... walked to the adjacent bathroom, everything in the house plush, sparkling and new
She pulled some kleenex from a box and wiped her eyes and nose, threw it, took more and stared at her reflection
Thoughtful and worried
"I asked you to STOP doing that" he ordered at the bathroom door way
"I cant STOP, until its found... ummm.. or do u know what kind it was?" she asked in a normal tone
"She only uses Apple, another Apple bot I guess" he said relieved his wife talked normally
She shut the light and the door and "Chalen oopar?" she asked
"Chalo" he smiled... "Will u have ur chai?" he asked softly
She nodded... "main banaoon?" she asked
"Umm sure... or u can go take a nap" and I can have the guys bring it over" he promised
"I have pattu class, I should just cancel it" she offered
"and do WHAT?" he asked irritated again
"I have to look for it" she began to cry
"II" he leaned on the wall shut his eyes cringing...
"Can we ask all the help when they saw it last?" she asked
"I JUST thought we were DONE with that... hmpphhh..." he was on a small leash
she yanked it over and over again
"I dont want to offend the help" she sobbed
she walked up the stairs, and sat down on the lounge couch, relaxed, leaning back, hand on her forehead... "I JUST CANT SEEM TO RECALL DA" she begged
"I am calling her AGAIN. If you DONT stop crying right now, I am going to " he stopped
He sat down by her... "its a laptop, there is probably couple she owns, she probably took her main one with her... its all backed up I bet" he said
"I have a call in 3.5 minutes II, i want you to stay put or take that nap" he ordered, it was around 3:25 PM
He pulled her towards him... "I am driving you to your class" he said
"Go to paattu class in a Ferrari?"
"why not? Does ur teacher have automobile restrictions?" he asked
"She only coaches a bunch of Iyer and Iyengar girls like me, some even ride their bicycles, or 610 or 630, get off at Sector 1, and walk,
I would hate paattu class in July and August.
Amma would insist I can only wear salwar kameez, no jeans or capris...
it would be all soaked... especially sitting on the chatai cross legged, I would hate it. Buses would be a pain too"
"How long is your class?"
"An hour, I will get scolded for the first 45 minutes, and then 15 minutes for a kriti,
He leaned her on the arm rest, climbing over her
"I am supposed to practice for an hour" she said
"i am in" he chuckled
She mean singing ofcourse...
"I am doing a kriti for 3 months now, cant seem to make from para one to para 2, a Rakshasan ruined my concentration" she said giggling huskily
... " Do u usually blame others for your failures" he asked softly
"Not usually" she said huskily
He tasted her cheek, it felt salty... she dodged as he angled for her lips
"I am special then?" he demanded, his hand on her right curve.. she groaned.. softly, letting him have her lips so he would free her ermm... other areas
"trade" she whispered
"Acquisition" he said softly, plundering...

He went to take his call, she got on her laptop, and went on to the Apple Site and found the nearest store, it said Ambience Mall in Vasant Kunj
She picked up her purse, and peeked down the balcony, there was the driver from Wed? lounging by the guard station
She quickly ran down and asked if he will give her a ride, he AGAIN gave her a strange look,
But nodded fearfully
She went back up and texted Rakshasan "Umm I texted the teacher, I moved my class up, see u at 5?"
"We could practice together" he texted with a emoticon of A BED AND TWO PEOPLE ON IT COVERED BY A BLANKET
she sent back a emoticon of a smiley face with a circle around it with a red ball rotating all over for "ANGEL" or "TOO INNOCENT"
He sent back a half smiley
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She returned not at 5 but at 6, she left the Apple Mac book Pro in the trunk, he was still working she changed
into her lounge pants and a shoe string lace cami after a shower, and walked by his office...
"I am back" she said
He ended the call walked over to the balcony..
"Did she call back?" she asked
"I was working I dont know, I thought we got past that, he said softly
"Umm... can u check please?" she begged
He did there was no returned calls or texts
"None" "I bet she found it or is OK" he said bluntly
"will u give me her address please" she asked politely
"Why?" he asked suspiciously
"I bought a new one, we could ship it Monday" she said
To say he wasnt happy would be an understatement
AYYYO!! II YOU SAY THAT STANDING IN THE BALCONY
YOU MUST BE BRAVE
THIS IS IT, HE MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL YOU
BUT THATS OK
BECAUSE EVERY BHALLA NOW KNOWS YOU ARE NOT A THIEF
