Two pink lines
It took him exactly, 10 hours and 14 minutes to get to Delhi airport, from the moment he held the fortune cookie in his hand.
He got up and walked inside purposelfully, texting Alex still holding the lil scrap of paper, pulled some tees and cargos and shave
things out, threw them on the bed, packed it all in his hiker backpack
Went on the phone with his agent and got himself a ticket in first
class to New Delhi at 10 :20 PM, was out the door in 20 minutes, took a cab to the airport from 8th Arrondissement
It was close to 9 AM Wednesday the 9th September... when he landed...
II?
Well on Sunday at lunch II just couldnt eat at DII, Amma's matar paneer was her favorite-est. Akka noticed she refused the 3rd phulka and lingered on her second
Amma finally had to give her a cup of yogurt for her to be able to eat half the second
She complained of an "upset stomach"
Amma asked her if she had diarrhea and II the fib queen NODDED
"Paavam ma her FIL has been in the hospital for a week, she must not have eaten right, send some khichri with her" Akka ordered "Or I will make ma"
II refused saying she will have Mahavir make it for dinner
But then she returned to MM at 3 ish and slept until 11 PM so no khichri was made or eaten
Amma left her a couple text messages
Amma would have texted Ranjan and he would have again come up at 9:30 Sunday night, to find her sleeping on the couch
"So rahi hai Mrs Iyer" he explained
"she said she had a stomach flu" Amma explained to him
"Oh! Mujhe kuch kehti nahi" Ranjan was miffed
"Oh! no... when she didnt eat rotis this afternoon I noticed" Amma reassured him
"I will ask Mahavir to make something for her" Ranjan promised
"Oh! No, just let her sleep, my mother would always say langam parama aushadam" (fasting is the best medicine for a stomach bug) Amma said
Ranjan turned the lights out, powered off the TV and went down
She woke closer to midnight after a vivid dream
And went to her phone to check time
The FIRST reminder was "PERIOD overdue"
YA, MS II, or MRS IYER, NO MRS BHALLA had set herself REMINDERS for getting her cycle
Like if she missed it she could quickly go to the pharmacy and buy it... ROFL
she didnt trust Rakshasan, more like she didnt trust herself
They were so "in" to each other... obsessed with each other
This reminder would usually be ignored and deleted the last 6 months
Her heart began to hammer, as she looked at the date it said FIFTH SEPTEMBER
she was late by 3? days? 4 days?
OMG!!!
AYYO!!
ARGHHH!!!!
UGHHH!!!
JEEZ!!!!
SIGH!!!
UMMM!!!!
ADI PAAVI!!!
AYYOYO!!!!
GOOD GRIEF!!!
WHATHE...
Her face flushed as her body trembled
she gently let her left hand wander to her belly, as if she was on a crowded train and the whole car was staring at her
she placed it on her lower belly, her fingers were sweaty and trembling
Her "Vidu da" pleas had obviously not worked ONE bit
It hadnt worked by the Monet and it hadnt worked the last 6 months
Many nights... she wasnt even sure if he wore a condom, she was too caught up in throes of passion to think straight
He was demanding and erotic. His hands and legs and mouth and ermmm☺️
RAKSHASAN!!!
ARGHHH!!!
WHAT WILL I TELL AMMA NOW?
GENIUS!! AS IF AMMA NEVER GOT PREGNANT
IDIOT!! I KNOW AMMA GOT PREGNANT
BUT HOW WILL I TELL HER?
APPA?
APPA WILL KILL ME!!!
she blushed seriously as she imagined Appa's look of betrayal
APPA HE LEFT ME WITH NO CHOICE
I MEAN APPA, I WANTED A LIL SOMEONE THAT LOOKS LIKE HIM
APPA, I WANTED HIM TO LOOK AT ME WHEN I WAS PREGNANT
APPA I WANTED TO LAY BY HIM WITH MY BULGING BELLY
OH! HOW HE WILL HOLD HER...
MAKING ME JEALOUS
I PROMISE PA THERE WILL BE NO MORE
YOUR KOZHANDAI WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU SAFE AFTER THIS ONE
FOR THIS ONE, PLEASE APPA FORGIVE ME?
She opened her calendar and frantically counted dates, whichever way she counted it added upto over 32 days
She was wide awake now
She walked to the bathroom gingerly and brushed her teeth
Held the rail securely as she walked down the grand staircase, the house was dark and quiet
She opened the frig and got bread out and inhaled the loaf, a gentle churn warned her "I dont like the taste of any food Amma, dont eat"
the lil rice grain shaped creature was telling her?
she smiled at her insanity and toasted it
"IF FIL'S STRESS HAS CAUSED THE DELAY AND IT IS INDEED A STOMACH FLU
ALL THIS DRAMA WILL MAKE U LAUGH FOR MONTHS
She applied jelly generously and dug in... in two hours she threw it all up
And lay on the couch again and waited for it to be 6 AM on Monday, she woke before Ranjan did took her
car and drove to a 24 hour pharmacy in Vasant Vihar and asked him for a EPT first then said "Mujhe CHHEY deejiye"
She bought half a dozen
He gave her a very odd look
"Mere friends ke liye bhi hai" she lied
He shook his head
NONE OF YOUR BIZ MR
She drove back with the sack, and walked up the stairs and sat down on the couch
She heard Ranjan call out to Mahavir in the front yard
she had to throw up again, she did and when she had to pee, she brought the sack to the bathroom and accidentally left the bag ON HIS TERRITORY
by the sink
Unwrapped one out of the box she didnt know how to do it "right"
She didnt read instructions
WHO READS THOSE?
UMM... PEOPLE DO
SHUT UP...
OK...
She peed all over it sloshing
It didnt take more than FIVE SECONDS
TWO DARK PINK LINES FORMED
The stick fell from her hand as she leaned on the seat weakly, and began to feel sweaty and nauseous again
