Tykes in tricolor
"we should atleast clean up some" she whispered, as he picked her up vertically...
"No we shouldnt" he said firmly
It rained heavily now
"atleast lets turn off the heated bowls" she begged
He let her slide down, and walked over to the wall unit where the plugs were still dry and shut those out,
she picked up a spoon of gooey vanilla choc mixture from her bowl and ate quietly
Savoring... cringing as it was too sweet..
Mahavir knocked on the terrace door... II opened, half soaked
He had another help with him
R&B said something about the wall connection to them
She asked what was wrong
"Umm nothing" he shook his head
"Kya hua?" she asked
"Well one of the points is loose" he said
"Did u get a shock?" she asked horrified
"No" he lied
She paused on the steps...
"I am FINE" "II" he muttered walking down rapidly
She brought two towels from the bathroom
"did u see what I brought from Chandigarh?" she giggled
She gave him towels shaped like watermelon and pineapple
He chuckled SHH...
"U dont like it" she muttered
"I think u shud give it tO shravu" he said
"I got for them too... there is a home decor store 10 stores down on the street the showroom is in
"I told them I work for the showroom and they gave me 10% off" she laughed
His stared intensely
"Well... I was there for the project" she mumbled
He dried himself...She sat down and turned on the TV
"I AM on vacation" she shrugged smugly
He smiled shook his head and went to grab a book from the table by the wall TV
"You are not going to bed? Tum to kaam par ho na?" she asked brimming with jealousy
He half smiled and approached the balcony...
"Dont go" she begged, turning on the TV.. scrolling to a Tamil Comedy channel, grinning at the sight of her fave duo on screen
"Go with me"
"HOW come nobody watches TV in this house? U guys have a million
movies kabhi kisi ko TEEVEE dekhte hue nahi pakda maine. U guys shud get rid of all your TVs" inadvertently she began speaking of Malcha Marg as HIS house
He sat down on the swing, and kicked the floor with his heel
"U cud sell it if u want to" he offered
"MAIN?" she asked startled
He shrugged
"Lets go back in I WANT TO watch, I dont want to sell the TV" she whined
He reached for her hand
She sat by him... and leaned on him
"then lets go to bed no" she changed her mind
"shhh" he ordered
She yawned and lay down on his lap, he picked up a cushion and placed it on his thigh, she lay on it and yawned again
He began to read as rain fell strong and hard over the awning... the guard buzzed him
"Haan sab theek hai... " he said in Hindi "Thanks" he smiled
"See even the guards want us to go to bed... I dont understand why you have to read every night, kabhi kabhi chalta,
dino raatri edaanu book padikkanuma?(why do u have to read every night?)
I ONLY read when I am alone, I am very respectful of company, I am not impolite... this is like saying "II nee poi toongu" (u go sleep)
"I read in the Shatabdi too... both ways, and at night... when I cudnt sleep" the last part she almost whispered
"Not the baldie Shatabdi the TRAIN" she said firmly
He chuckled
She got ONE response after 15 mins of monolog
"I have so many interesting stories, you have none, if u read all the time, u meet no one"
"Shhh" he ordered lowering his book
Gently bending down to seal her lips, and stayed on them... holding her up
She pulled the cushion up and lay on his chest... "Polaam da toonga" (lets go to bed)
"Do u want to?" he asked
She nodded
"Then go" he smiled
Her face fell...
She lay back down for a minute.. QUIET...
"I forgot to tell you There was a guy with his wife and kids sitting on my row, he had TRIPLETS, ALL BOYS, 6 YEARS OLD" she said horrified
"I felt SO BAD for his wife, her name was Inderpreet" "He was a Sqdrn Ldr in AF, she was going to CHDGH from Delhi cantt.. for a baby's birth
A 8 year old girl too" the boys were a RIOT... they were identical... some passengers were so amused they took selfies with them, all three wore
head scarves one in green one in saffron and one in white, for 15th August too cute"
"I gave them markers, of the same color... we did art work together... one was a really bad speller"
"For bed sheet" he wrote "Bed shit" II cracked herself up😆
He shut his book and put it away, picked her up and cuddled
"did u take a selfie with them?"
"So you were LISTENING?" her eyes lit up
He nodded
"they were so adorable
"she said the first five years are bad" II informed "Mujhe to lagta hai first 30 are" she said evilly
He chuckled
"Paavam da... u laugh.. can u imagine how hard it must have been for her?" II sympathized with Inderpreet..
He nodded like he cared...
"They all had PINK cheeks and round faces... THE SAME SIZE EYES, NOSE AND LIPS" she described animatedly, drawing pictures
She shuddered
"I am afraid" "Just thinking about em" she whispered... and then smiled, "they all looked like HER" she said laughing
"He was so sweet, he said I cud look at em all day they look like Indy"II reminisced the random dude's romantic ode to wifey
"What were their names?" HE SPOKE FINALLY
"Umm... iru (Wait) something about light... ayyyooo... YAAA Prabhjot, Navjot and Divjot" she said exhaling with satisfaction
the rain formed puddles in a corner of the balcony between two plants, the moon light sparkled in the clear night...☺️
