Man & Meds
R&B stood them all in the bathroom and at midnight hosed them down using the pull out shower head
Sahana sat on the floor naked and gurgled, delighted, her fat belly spilling on to the marble floor
II had thrown a couple towels behind the ball of fat, in case she teetered under the pressure of the spray and fell backwards
She DID!! and sat up the next second, flapping her arms, patting her fat thighs, and squealing
The boys wanted to turn the shower head towards their face
Nivi looked forlorn standing in a corner
R&B noticed "Hey angel" he cooed
"They get all the water?" she asked
"No they dont" he shut the faucet off, the boys screamed, Sahana cursed him boldly and shrieked
R&B turned it back on and sprayed Nivi's face
She stood wearing her swim outfit
The boys wore their swim shorts
Nivi was done rinsing the sugar syrup in 10 seconds
She grabbed a towel "I am the first" she shouted provoking the boys
R&B chuckled
II had chosen someone like HIM for her own group, claiming "Nivi is like ME" and so had
given him MANY like herself for his team, claiming "they are like YOU"
The three younger brats were like her actually, loud, and nosy and talkative and trouble makers... full of energy
Nivi was quiet and composed, loved books & music... and yet wicked...
The boys raced after their sister
Sahana was glad she had her man and her water
She was a water baby for sure
II lay clothes out on the master bed
She pitied Ranjan and Mavvy, it was past midnight and this family was taking showers
The kids were on a sugar high...
She felt sorry for them
They missed their Dad, between school and activities there was no time left to "play"
The pre school had too much politics
Some star Moms and hieress moms had a rating scale for people and II didnt feature on their list,
so she was left with a handful of "nobody" moms like herself
She was wary of befriending too many kids from class
The boys had each other unlike Nivi
Sahana?
Well Sahana was the empress
She had a hand crafted portfolio to spread terror and fear around the house
Her screams could be heard on the terrace and in the lawns
She had to be picked up when she wanted to be
Amma and Appa just spoiled her throughly
They loved the fiesty, naughty chick
R&B obsessed over her too
He knew his wife wont have any more
She got her tubes tied for good, half awake after Sahana's C-section procedure
"TIE MY TUBES, NOW" she ordered Dr Urmil
Dr Urmil, a lady not prone to too many emotions, giggled like a school girl
"After u heal" she ordered
II marked every day up until 6 weeks and went in by herself and got them tied
The whole drama of it made her blush each time when she narrated it to family
R&B and Sahana were having a power struggle in the bathroom
Each time he shut the faucet, she was letting loose her choicest gaalis for him
II didnt even peek
SERVES YOU RIGHT
He turned up, a half hour later with Sahana waving the victory flag, ermm... a pink heart shaped towel
He handed her the fat blob of flesh
She bobbed and jumped and hurtled wanting back
"Not any more" he warned
Bending down over II to kiss her fat cheeks
Soaking II's face and neck
Sneaking a couple of wet ones on her neck
She yanked his soaking hair
"The kidsss" she warned
Sahana watched Amma and yanked his hair
"Hey lady, if u can do it so can I look"
"PO di... II cursed
the baby chuckled
II rolled her like a burrito and crushed her on the bed
The boys returned, after successfuly waking Ranjan
One wore a pajama top and the other a bottom
"Mainnu mileya nahi gudiya" Ranjan was apologetic about not finding the second set of night suit
Their clothes were in the office closet along with Ranjan's
"Dad they only brought three each, all are in laundry" II said cynically
They ran around the room chasing each other with Ranjan's flashlight
He still liked to use one to check time the old fashioned way
They went to the living room and woke Mavvy
II groaned
Nivi swooned, half awake
II walked over tucked her in, and kissed her "My favorite, u are so well behaved just like Amma" she said
R&B half smiled as he came into the room to grab the towel wrapped baby to dress her for the night
Sahana pointed to the bathroom and moaned
"I am going to fill a tub and set u in it" he whispered
She lay on his shoulder and curled up
"Yeh mainnu changa lageya" ranjan brought a pair of old shorts
II smiled "dad go to bed"
"Did u take the meds?" R&B asked softly
Ranjan paused stunned, turned around and nodded
"Nahi... pull gaya see" he said sheepishly
His eyes sparkled in the low bedroom light
II pretended to be bent over trying to straighten out the sheets on the sofa bed
"Do u need a refill?" R&B asked
Sahana watched her Dad talk with Dadu, and chattered incessantly, grinding her two front teeth
"Mainnu gall samjh aa gayi gudiya" he teased the fatso
"Nahi puttarjee main refill karwa laaya India toun" Ranjan replied, a spring in his step and a dance in his gait
he walked back into the corridor leading to R&B's office
Ranjan had never taken the most important things in life for granted, yet... paid a enormous price
But may be life would give him a second chance now?
