Democracy & Heels
The boys came back in immediately, "Go brush your teeth da, I am going to tell Amma you wake at Noon and dont brush"
"CHITHEEE HE DIDNT EITHER HOW COME you are not yelling at him?" Shravu demanded democracy
"Umm... Nandu have u brushed love?" softly
"Ummm... and I am not going to?" admiring two lady bugs on his palm
"Nee poda, twerp... brush pannikko illena no golf no nothing" she threatened
"SCOLD HIM CHITHI, U are being mean to me" "How come you call me twerp and NOT HIM?"
"A lil unfairness here?" R&B enquired curiously, noticing II not being stern with Nandu...
"I think they should brush"
"Any particular reason you would only threaten Shravu?"
"Uncle R name a desert animal that starts with a S"
He was glaring at his wife he didnt want to play with Shravu
Nandu let the lady bugs walk on the white marble kitchen counter... placing obstacles in front
"CHITHAPPPA" Shravu yelled
"Shravu monster?" he muttered
"I scolded both"
"I am not deaf II"
"Its not SHRAVU MONSTER U LOST"
"I scolded Shravu because Akka gets mad if he doesnt brush" II muttered, he had her pinned, the counter to her back
"DO NOT LIE TO ME" he hissed "U didnt scold Nandu because u dont care. You only yell at your "own"
II turned a guilty red... "I asked him to brush too"
"Dont you dare play games with me" he hissed in her ear
She groaned, weary, feeling the heat from his body... turning her face away, almost leaning on his chest
"Its a SPOTTED Hyena" "Uncle R" Shravu said using the breakfast stool to clinb on the counter to grab stainless steel cups from the cabinet
"No breakfast da, just lunch, if u want to golf, if u want to sit around talking animals then I can make u pancakes"
"The Zambian Embassy next door has a animal farms they are looking to feed the cheetah every afternoon, you can be its Sunday meal
he said gleefully to her nephew
"You do that, I am telling Appa" he said clattering two steel cups and Nandu and him had a
inverted cup race on the counter, every second a few cups fell clattering on the floor
"Go up sweethrt, jaldi se brush karo aap" II begged Nandu
THERE!!! I DID IT AGAIN!! I CHEWED MY NEPHEW'S HEAD OFF BUT WAS KIND TO YOURS
KYA KAR LOGEY? I WONT MANAO ANY HAQ ON YOUR FAMILY. KAR LO JO KARNA HAI
she dared him with her eyes
Ranjan came back and found his son on the verge of strangling his daughter in law
R&B moved away "Lets go up u two"
Ranjan opened the corner beverage frig with glass doors and took bottles of water
"I am sorry Sir... Umm... Dad I am making chai" she said preoccupied
"Beta?" he stopped and turned
"Its nothing"
"Main daatoon usko"
"NAHIII" she stopped him sternly
R&B returned "WHERE is Nandu's bag?'
She turned and leaned on the counter
"Did u not hear me"
Ranjan turned, stacking a bowl with some snack "Umm"
"U put them to bed last night I thought?" she said coyly
"You dont want him to go golfing?"
"U can leave them home I can take them to paattu class" she said NOT moving an inch
He leaned on the door jamb hands in his pockets
"Kitne baje hai puttar?" Ranjan asked weakly ducking the cross fire
"Kya?" she asked glaring at her husband 30 feet away
"Class aapka?"
"Ummm 2" "Ya I can take them"
R&B began approaching her, she turned shut off the stoves, sambar, poured chai out in cups "dad tea"
She went up to him, he held her elbow "The next time u need to watch where they
put their things" "Chhuo mat mujhe" she hissed as he held on tighter.
When she managed to kick them out it was almost 2, the appointment was AT 2
She ate, went up and picked up stuff from all over on both floors, turned on her laptop, tried to work for an hour, around 4 WENT TO BED
She heard Mahavir begin dinner in the kitchen as the blender was being run, when she went to grab water
She moved her paattu class to 8 and went to bed
He returned around 7, she slept in her saree, the pallu tucked into her waist, a hand under her cheek, the AC on in full blast, the behind the ear locks spread over her cheek
He gently tucked it behind her ear, as he sipped a Sam Adams
She opened her eyes partially and peeked "U are back?" she said in sleep drugged voice "ITNI JALDI?"
His expression turned grim again "Its 7" he said
She went on her back, pulling her pallu over her curves, and then turned the other way, her braid was crunched up and crooked
"bache kidhar hain?"
He didnt answer...
"Dont bother, main khud hi dekh loongi" she sat up pulling her saree over her ankles hiding the fat anklets
"Enjoy, main paatu class ja rahi hoon, kisi se baat nahi karni padegi tumhe" she mocked as she shut herself in the bathroom, she changed into a beautiful chudidar outfit after a shower, and stepped out at 7:20
Mahavir was up "Chai?"
"Nahi aaj main bahut soyi, meri class hai, Akka ka khaana main le jaaoon?" she offered
"Nahi Sir ka driver hai woh chhod dega" he said "Kuch laaoon khaane ko sir laaye Taj se"
"Nahi" she said, as he sat on the couch stretched out twirling his locks working on his iMac
"Sir lekar jaayenge aapko"
"Ummm nahi..." she said
She yanked his beer bottle off a stack of paper he looked up accusingly "teacher wanted me to bring a kriti explanation. I dont want your beer" she slammed the bottle on the counter
Mahavir: Sir ek aur wohi?"
R&B nodded...
Minion followed her begging her to eat "Raat ko shahi paneer banaye hain. aur gobi matar sookhi... naan... Akka ne kal ka khaana bahut pasand kiya"
II smiled "Aap itna achha bana lete ho" she smiled fondly
"Aaj woh chef nahi aa paaye humne banaya"
"Chachu chaley gaye?"
"Umm nahi... "
"Sir ke liye kya banaya raat ko?" she arched her eyebrows to indicate "2nd floor"
"Lamb biryani and BBQ chicken" he said...
"Woh grill ka dhuan hai?" she asked smelling smoke
"Santram ne darwaza khula chhod diya hoga, sorry" Minion ran to shut the back patio
She left for class...
The boys were off next week so they stayed over Sunday night, she returned from class at 10 they all waited to eat
R&B didnt sit by her... she sat between the boys... Chachu needled and irritated both father and son with fairness and in equal proportion
"Chaithi WHY CANT I EAT CHICKEN" Shravu demanded
"Why cant I eat lamb" he demanded
"Vaya moodindu saapdu other wise i will BBQ YOU" (shut up and eat)
"Uncle R she said Vaya moodindu (close ur mouth)" he slapped his thight and laughed hysterically
R&B chuckled...
She went to the sun room to work, he played video games, she slept in the sun room... he slept on the Master bed
she went to work at 8 on Monday the 4th
He was still asleep when she peeked into the room... he slept face down one leg drawn up... his hair hiding his face... she gently felt the silk, bent down and inhaled the woodsy scent at the crook of his neck
The left arm under the pillow, the right on HER PILLOW... she gently pulled her pillow, hugged it and ogled at him... returned the pillow and placed his arm on it and left
Around 2 she walked down three blocks in the burning hot afternoon sun to Citibank, her relationship manager made her wait a good hour
"so much for a RELATIONSHIP" she cursed
When it was her turn, she sat down asked for water... "How about soda Ishita? Coke or pepsi?"
"Coke" she said
"How can I help you"
Hey I have this transaction show up on my Account that I have no clue who it is" "is it DMAT for the Essar Steel transaction from March?"
"Kab?"
"saturday"
"Ok is it Iyer or AIYER?" she asked
"IYER" II said irritated... almost 10 years and nobody cared for her last name?
"What did u do to your hand?" she asked staring at the red steam burn injury from Sunday morning
"I opened the cooker too soon" II chuckled
"Whatja make?" she asked
"Dal, u know sambar" II said
"Didnt you marry a PUNJABI?" she asked
AMAAA DI, U DONT KNOW MY LAST NAME BUT DEFINITELY KNOW I MARRIED A PUNJABI

"I did" she said calmly spending a few minutes cursing and ranting mentally like she always did
Her inner voice was her best friend... ermm... NONE OF UR BIZ, MIND UR OWN BEEZWAX
"SO? Does he love South Indian food?" she asked conspiratorially
"Ummm... no" she said SMILING BRIGHTLY
"KYON?" She asked
arms folded on the glass sheet on the table
POI KELU DI

HE ONLY ATE SAMBAR RICE NO BEANS COCONUT CURRY. HE DIDNT EAT CURD RICE
HE IS DEFINITELY NOT AN IYER

"Are u still checking?' she reminded the chick
"Mera system AAJ SLOW HAI. Achha hai tumhari baat karte hain" she chuckled

II blushed crimson
"I hear he is very tall" the girl gushed
"HE WEARS HEELS" II said
"REALLY?" The woman was shocked
AYYYOOO!!!!!
"Ummm ya I usually order it for him ONLINE" II stretched it
"Tumhe bura nahi lagta?" she asked curiously
REALLY? ITS A THERAPY SESSION NOW?
"U are too funny" the gal admitted, nodding
"Achhaa the DEPOSIT came from a Ved Sareen, it was cash at 10:01 on Saturday" "Aur kuch?"
"AUR KUCH MATLAB?
"I mean what else Ishita... Ishita right?" checking it off the screen
"I DONT KNOW WHO HE IS" II was baffled
"Its good he made the deposit coz DLTA charge would have been declined, so would subscriptions to a couple magazines you have"
"Oh, can I see it?" she asked absoltely stunned
"I can print off the last 6 months of activity" she sent the job to the printer
Turned the monitor towards II and she saw two lines of red... "El Cazador & Pizza Hut" on Saturday
"Who is Ved Sareen?" "does he have an account here?" II asked baffled
"OMG! U dont even know who it is?" the relationship manager asked
II stared at her numb😕
"Cud this be an error?"
"I dont know let me check with the teller, the deposit was cash made at the counter, hang on" she punched some phone keys and paged a teller
