Custom- Requests & Differences
II yanked the blanket, almost unseating her husband
The men thankfully walked towards the trees by the compound wall, giving her time to button up.
Lasya looked over R&B's shoulder curiously, as II nervously buttoned her shirt up
She furiously drank some orange juice sitting on the table by the side
Tan turned around as she pretended to check email on her phone
Lasya played with dude's phone, looking adorable with chunky buttery shoulders
"Hey wheres my hug?" Tan demanded
She didnt look at him, embarrassed
"Where is Sam?" she asked
"Arey main khara hoon yaha" he told her
She got off the swing gently and waited for him, he hugged her warmly
"Congrats!! Make sure u dont make babies that take after him"
"Umm ya... who should I write to for that? Mere paas email nahi hai" II smiled, glaring at her husband
I CANT BELIEVE YOU PUT ME IN SUCH A SHAMEFUL POSITION TODAY
RAKSHASANEY!!!
WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I TOOK THAT RIDE FROM YOU THAT DAY WHEN MY PURSE GOT LEFT BEHIND IN UR DAD'S CAR
AYYO!!!!
"Main deta hoon na tujhe, departments alag alag hai, when Sam was pregnant we made sure we wrote to the Uncle Helpline
But still I have serious suspicion that this one will be like him"
"Address hai ya 1-800 number?" Ii asked
"1-800- Custom Request" Tan explained
II laughed hysterically
R&B talked with her cuddling, as they walked the lawn
"she has such an attitude, mere paas nahi aati hai" II was sad
"He is a heister" "Chinta mat kar u made ur own, just make sure u keep him away from his reach"
"He wants a girl" II mumbled
"Ek Lasya kaafi hai yaar... she is a terror" Tan made a face
"I want a boy too, he wants a girl... like me" II followed through with the last two words almost gasping for air
Tan didnt speak for a minute...
"Did he say that?" he smiled looking at his BIL
II nodded "Mere tarah hui to she will talk a mile a minute and fight like its nobody's business, and live in my head"
"Yep... he lives outside" Tan said somberly
"Kuch kaha isne kab ja raha hai?" Tan asked softly
The guard had told Mahavir he brought a CART full of various hand crafted beer, and some snack bowls for Lasya, and them
Lasya saw the colorful cups and shrieked at Mahavir, he picked up a couple wand walked over to the rose hedge
She leaped into his arms
"ADI PAAVI" II cursed
Tan chuckled
"I told u she is like her Mama, our email didnt get to Manufacturing on time... they made one like him,justa different gender.Hungry and possessive"
II blushed gloriously.
"Thats a good description"
"Shukriya!!!... mere se baat nahi ki toone shaadi sepehle warnasab sach bata deta" Tan winked
She smiled at him fondly"(U) Would have rescued me?" she asked softly
"Rescue ka pata nahi,haan bhaagne ka raasta batata" he smiled,gently hugging her by her shoulders
R&B returned and scanned the beer cart
Picked out Sam Adams and opened it sipping
"So did u spend all day at the tech thing?" Tan asked
II's eyes followed Mahavir's as he fed Lasya talking to her
R&B sat by his wife, she went to the center
He picked up her juice glass and handed it to her
"I want food da... i am so hungry" she muttered
He waved to Mahavir
"No... dont I will go make something"
"Aapke ghar meinb kya khaana bana hai aaj?" she asked
"Aaap woh nahi kha sakti lekin, lamb biryani hai HAMARE ghar mein" he mocked her Hindi
She turned to R&B
He looked at her like "Whattt?Do u need my defense now?"
"YA" she nodded
"She speaks pretty good Hindi" R&B chuckled
"Oh teri...biwi ki sifarish?"
II leaned over and kissed R&B's cheek softly...
He flushed at the sudden display of passion
"Sam ne mujhe kis din bheja yaha, u guys cantseem to keep ur hands off each other" Tan cursed
"I am going in, hes all yours" II smiled, wiping traces of lipstick off husband's cheek... lingering

Another help, made a spicy fruit salad for her, with lots of citrus and apples...
she took some banana bread on the side and sat down to eat on the kitchen table
Mahavir brought Lasya to refill her cup of Gerber snack
Both houses had everything for kids
II looked surreptiously as where Mahavir stored them, and smiled secretly
She imagined fixing dinner and having her 8 month old scream on the high chair, and reaching into the pantry and filling up a bowl
Having the lil one mess it all up, have her clothes be stained with mango or banana puree
Ranjan rescuing the tyke from the "high chair prison" and scolding her
"Na beta na.. Mamma thandedaar hai bache, aithe aaja mere shona"
"Dad LEAVE HIM THERE" she would yell
"Na gudiya,10 min se baitha roye ja rahahai tars kha bache"
"I can only do it when ur son is not home.. he doesnt allow me to say anything to him"
"ITS A GIRL" Dude entered her head and ruined her fantasy
"No da... I want a boy"
"Ones 'enough" he ordered huskily "I want 4 girls like u II"
She turned towards her bowl
Lasya cooed behind her
She thought of shatabdi and wondered what he was doing
Called Akka
She didnt answer for the longest time
"Hello" she said sounding miffed
"Ennachu ka... is baldie crying?" II asked softly
"No kanna" Akka said abruptly, not in a mood to talk
"Do u want to come for dinner?" II begged
"I have never invited YOU guys formally. Do u know? I cant keep coming over" Akka warned
"Why do u say that?" Ii was hurt
"I cant invite u for a nice stylish meal in my house, the dining table always has everything from marundu bottle (meds) to
uncut veggies to Shravu's pencil sharpner to clothes from press waala, to lehiyams and concoctions
belonging to Thatha Paati (Bala's parents)" Akka rambled
"I would sit on the floor and eat off vazha elai (banana leaf)" II said warmly, appreciating the Iyer feel and the customs at Akka's house
"Adukku edam?" (where is the room?) "If I invite ur family I will have to put everything in a room and then arrange a nice dinner" Akka sighed
"U come over tonite ka" II begged
"How are u da?" she asked, baldie cooed
Before shecould respond, Akka raised her voice "Adaye tiruppi tiruppi pesa"(talkingabtthe same thing)
"Ishita one second kanna" Akka begged, putting her on hold
II had to throw up also so she welcomed the hold... she returned in 5 minutes...
Akka was still talking
"Did u measure his hair?" II asked
"Podi... there is barely a green coating now"
"Niice I hope he stays bald" II chuckled
"Baldness suits the wealthy" Akka said cynically
Hurting II some more, inadvertently
"Yen apdi solrey" she was deeply hurt (what are u saying?)
"U know, a Munirka DDA boy with no hair is not sexy or cute"
"Chhhee ka, what are u saying?"
"Bala makes me murderous." Akka whispered
"WHAT HAPPENED?" II was startled
"Vaishnavi nyabagam irukala onakku? (do u remember her?)
Mahavir handed Lasya... she looked at II like "Umm... u always seem to be all over my hottie... who are u anyway?"
"VAA DEE INGE" II hissed
"Is someone visiting?" Akka asked longingly
"No ka just Lasya nad Tan"
"OK fine I will call later"
"No no... pleaseka... they are in the patio, I am in the kitchen"
"Bala wants us to host her for 3 or 4 years, ethana kozhuppu paathukko" (how dare he)
II groaned, Helplessly
She was choking in wealth and pampering... they tracked her every move, counted every bite she ate
It was unfortunate Akka had to beg Athim to be left alone so she could care for a new born
"I am so sick of everything" Akka began to cry
"DONT cry ka" II cried too
Lasya stared spell bound, reaching for a raspberry on II's salad bowl
