To blossom at a touch
She walked over to her husband "Please da" she whispered
He smiled fully, offering her his mike, she grabbed it like she grabbed the last available seat on the red line bus on a 47C day.
She turned off both mikes promptly
"She wont let him say any more" "Would you like her to sing one more song?" Sam begged
The crowd roared
"I WONT" II sulked
"PLEASE... Love?" Sam hugged her warmly
"Khush kar yaar bechari ko, waat lagayi saale ne" Tan back slapped R&B
R&B chuckled, Sam turned the mikes on
"I am telling her she can sing a Tamil song" she spoke into BOTH
"THANKS! But nobody knows Tamil" II spat furiously
"Yeh to keh raha hai he knows... all the "Words", matlab... wohi jo ek bandey ko chahiye...
or let me put it this way, those words.. agar usko kuch chahiye" HE EXPLAINED LOUDLY ON THE MIKES
II died of mortification
Sam hugged her "Tch tch tch... my baby... Punjabis are shameless arent we?" she whispered
II didnt even look at the crowd.
Tan offered a glass of apple juice "Lo taaqat milegi" he winked at the crowd
R&B wandered off like he was a passer by!!
PAAVI
PAAVI
II cursed not so kindly
Sam handed her one mike after she drank her juice all in one go
"I dont know any Tamil Teej songs" she whispered
"Sing a RAIN song" Sam urged
II nodded, letting her super computer process that request
She cleared her dry throat again
And began and paused, nervous and shaky and began all over again
"The name of the movie is Indra, its been sung by Chitra and SPB" she explained
"Thoda Thoda malarndad enna, poove
Thottavanai marandadenna"
from Indra
I AM NOT GOING TO TRANSLATE IT
NOPE
PICK ANOTHER SONGGG
MORON!!!
UMM.. I LISTENED TO THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK
I HAVE TO SEARCH
THIS ONE
I KNOW THE FULL SONG
(The lines translate to "the sensations caused by the first touch; the visual of falling rains on
parched earth, the ecstasy of warm rains, the newness of gaze the novelty of touch; the nervousness and anticipation of surrender
I waited 20 years to be able to witness the mist soaked flower
I nurtured my lips so they could satiate my hungry lover;
Male:
Like the flower that hides a leaf underneath, please dont hide from me; I need to "see" you
Like the breeze that jolts a flower, please dont shake me up)
She sang beautifully
Gasping almost when it ended, relieved?
Sam and Tan hugged her, Sam kissed her forehead fondly "cho chweet, kitni innocent ho" "Kisi baat ka bura nahi maanti"
"Banda lucked out" Tan cackled cynically
Sam punched him
"Well... I give R&B grief" II said smugly
"DEKH LO" Sam mocked her husband
"Usko kuch bhi kehna beqaar hai. Dekh shuru ISNE kiya, bande le le li" he chuckled rubbing his bald pate... totally baffled
"I am going to go take a nap" she whispered
People milled around trying to chat with her wishing her, trying to chat
Sam was a rockstar, by setting up II to be teased she had made II a celebrity
People gawked at her every move
R&B wandered over with Lasya
"Kudu da" she begged,
LASYA TURNED AWAY
"Fine..." II sulked
"Get something to eat" he ordered
"I want pizza" she said looking longingly at Sam's backyard GRILL
"I am not sure whats on offer"
Sam was nowhere to be seen, he texted
She grabbed Lasya, she made a face and then drooled all over II's nose ring trying to eat it
Ii walked inside... slowly
Towards Sam's sun room and sat down... weak and weary
Stretching on her bed...
R&B brought PIZZA in 30 minutes
"This DOES NOT let u off the hook" she barked
He half smiled
"PESAVE PESAADE" "PESINA VILLANGAM DAAN"
(U DONT talk, when u do u are nothing but trouble)
He sat by her stroked her ear... "Eat" he muttered
She shoved him away "Po da" she sulked
"Did I get anything wrong?" he asked innocently
"ADA PAAVI" she shouted "WHY did u say anything?"
He pulled her over him, she leaned stiffly
She ate three slices hungrily fighting Lasya's greedy grab
He brought his chicken pizza and FED her crumbs from his
"PAAVAM DA... DONT FEED HER JUNK" II shrieked
He lay back fully, as Lasya ambushed him for food
"chee paavam kozhandai" II punched him, many blows
Didnt matter to him
RAKSHASAN!!!
Ii yawned and lay on her side
"Ba inge ba... Mami pakathla tachikko" (come sleep by me)
She pulled the lil one and smothered her
She whined and moaned but yawned cutely, rocking herself
II got a cue rolled her to her side and thumped her butt gently
Mami and bhanji dozed off side by side
He did email on the phone, letting her place her feet on his thigh as he sat on the corner.
Gently teasing her toe ring with his index finger, watching her toes curl with satisfaction
"Tch"
"shhh"
"Pannade da" (quit it)
She whined periodically, he traced her silver string anklet
with his thumb, she arched involuntarily, they exchanged one long look, and she shut her eyes reluctantly
He shut the light and the door as he let himself out with the empty boxes
