Pawning tea cups
There was huge gaping hole between button number two and button number four because button number three was undone
Neel went into the bedroom to change... umm... wear clothes
Suvi tried to regain her composure
Gurpreet walked up to her and gently pulled the ends of her kurta together, Suvi immediately panicked and closed the gap
"Bahar itna saara snacks kiske liye chhoda hai aapne, yaha to guard bhi nahi gate par" she teased
Suvi realized she left the samosas and cookies and besan laddoos, and steaming hot... not so steaming hot jalebis
out by the front door
Gurpreet followed her and grabbed some bags
"Aap bana lo chai main yeh laga doon?" she asked raising a bag as toast
"I better go" Suvi mumbled
"Suvi its OK... main aur Gagan raat ko yahi baat karte hain, Neel ke liye koi" she laughed
Neel returned wearing jeans and a offwhite and red and blue check shirt, he was casually sexy Suvi noticed, and barefeet a lot
"Gagan aa gaye kya?" he asked sauntering inside the kitchen
Suvi shut the frig hurreidly
"Haan bade waale ka ek SW code project due hai, us par matha peeth rahe hain"
Gagan was a VP at some Pharma company
Neel grabbed a samosa... "Thande hain yaar... aap laayin kya?" he kidded
Suvi turned and shot him a look
"Garam kar deti hoon lao" Gurpreet urged
"Kidhar se laayin aap?" Neel pressed
"Sector 19 NOIDA" Gurpreet said
"Sorry.. but yeh main Bengali Market se laayi hai main" Suvi spoke
Neel was happy to watch her take credit
"Baap rey... iske saamne to jhooth chalta nahi" Gurpreet chuckled
"Meri chai glass mein daal dengi, I will drink on the way... if he has paper cup? Mujhe apni beti ko uthana hai"
Gurpreet dropped the chhalni on the floor and began to laugh hysterically
Suvi was miffed
"U sound like a Mumbai underworld guy" she said
"Neel ke saath baat karo aap... perfect Hindi" Suvi said
Gurpreet "Hey Neel Gagan ko bulaoon to chalega?" she asked
Neel got his samosa out of the microwave and nodded
The boys peeked for food
Gurpreet handed them each a plate and told them to bring Gagan
"where is your house? I cudnt find it" Suvi said
"Jhooth mat bolo... tumhe yaha aane ka mann tha" Gurpreet said
"Neel ko main office mein milti hai roj" she said
"5 din se mili nahi so u came here" she said
"Meri chai?" Neel reappeared
Suvi handed him a mug
"Aapne banayi?" he asked for confirmation
"Agar na bola to" Suvi asked
"Usii ne banayi hai neel bekaar hogi to usko kos lena" "achha raat ko aloo baingan aur chaney ki dal kha logey? Meri cook wohi bana rahi hai" she said
Neel raised his mug
Suvi poured her tea and picked up her mug
"I have to go
"Chai ke baad" Neel ordered
"I can go... I know where to get an auto" Suvi said
Gurpreet watched as they clashed
"Its after 7 so... no" he said
"Maine raat ke 10 baje bhi auto kara hua hai" Suvi said
Gurpreet stifled a chuckle at the "making the auto" comment
"Phir kabhi "kar len" aap auto" Neel mocked softly
Suvi picked up her bag and chai mug
"Mug MERA nahi Neel hai hai" Gurpreet squealed
"Neel has a bunch of my dabbas... inka kitchen ka aadha dabba mera hai" Suvi said bluntly
Neel winked at Gurpreet
Neel picked up his keys from a tall chest of drawer in the living room and followed her
"Main chali jaayegi" Suvi claimed
"Ofcourse" Neel scoffed
And grabbed her phone from a low ornamental carved table, and tucked it into his pocket
Gurpreet walked over to the living room bearing a giant tray of snacks
"I will go drop her off" he told her
"Khana idhar khaogey ya ghar pe"
"We can eat here" Neel nodded
"Woh nahi rukegi?" Gurpreet asked
"Inko beti uthana hai" Neel said
Sending Gurpreet into fits of laughter
He pulled out of the drive way as Suvi sipped
He drove cursing the traffic
"Gurpreet is nice" she said
"Hum bata denge" Neel smiled
He drove to Kanika's society, Aadhya was thrilled to see Neel, Neel didnt go in he waited in the car
"Hum aapke house jaayenge?" she asked
"Not tonight" Neel bend down to her size
"Kyon? tum kaad mein kyon aaya?" (kaad for car)
He chuckled... "Its faster... aapki Aai waha baithkar chai peene se mana kar rahin thin" Neel explained
Aadhya didnt understand shuddha Hindi
She looked at her Aai
"Aadhya maskari" Suvi reminded her daughter sternly
Aadhya smiled like a doll
"Aai saus "maskari nakko" Aadhya waved her fat finger
"Yeh baat hai?" Neel stood up and gazed into Suvi's eyes
"Aapko yaha se jaane chahiye ghar, mera rickshaw waala waha dikha mujhe" she pointed
Neel turned with an unpleasant look, found the poor chap smiling
"Chaliye aaj unko disappoint kariye" he said tersely
He loaded Aadhya in...
And dropped her off
"Mug girwi rakhoon?" Suvi asked lifting his tea cup (until u return my pao bhaji containers)
"Sood mein kya lengi?" Neel asked softly
Her insides lurched...
