Dog in the manger
She was upset enough to go see Jayadev first thing the next morning, at his room at the University
He was sulking and playing a video game on the computer
"Shouldnt you be studying to take the exam in November?" she asked nervously
"Will you not marry a man thats not a CA or what?" he asked
Something inside her plummeted on high speed causing her belly to torpedo.
"i didnt say that" "i dont understand business. You do you wont help. Did you know Mr pai quit?" she asked accusingly
He shook his head defeatedly
"He should give up the whole thing"
It was taking to much of her time and he was plainly pissed
It was like she couldnt talk about anything...
She couldnt help but "look" at the room... or dump as people would call it.
She kept the Ullal house very clean and tidy, mainly because it was so old
She also liked to be tidy...
There were wrinkled lungis slung over the clothesline over the bed (he wore those on muggy summer nights)
The room did not have air conditioning
All night rains had brought blazing hot sunshine this morning.
There were papers and books strewn everywhere. Half eaten wholly eaten plates bowls and cups and spoons, and power cords and paperback (semi po*n konkani) novels and periodicals adorned the messy bed
"You look cute when unshaven" she whispered standing behind him and kissed his ear. "I was hoping to kiss you so I hope you brushed" she giggled
He turned, grabbed her and kissed her soundly... the door was open... his moves were pretentious and "dominating" (po*n books?)
She tried to be "swept away" but couldnt
He let his hand fondle and caress
"Lets go to bed" he whimpered like a puppy dog
"Your bed?" "there is no room to lay down" she tried to thwart
"Lets do it standing up. Like those books" he angled his head to a magazine on the bed.
She was freshly showered and wearing a ikat kurta and a chudidar, smelled clean and soapy. he was a man in heat... he wanted it all.
"You are upset for no reason" she freed herself before he could completely undress her and put some space between them
"All I ever hear from you is about how much your Dad is suffering" he mumbled smacking his lips enjoying her taste
She cringed suddenly... something about that did not seem cool to her
"You should shave" she said feeling her cheek and chest
He smirked... "come on now" he said rubbing his dense midnight black beard.
"So you atended your class, we are done now right?" he asked
"If we go with franchising then this is when the work actually begins" she said in horror
"Pffftt... please!! like that can happen, where will you find Rs. 60 lakhs?" he asked baffled
She looked heart broken
He felt like a pig
He got up and walked over to her and sat on the floor grabbed her hands
"You shouldnt give any big ideas to your father. You have no clue about biz I dont either... why tempt the poor old man. I will talk to him he will understand"
NOW he was taking initiave!!
"Oh no... dont... dont... please dont... he doesnt even know it costs Rs. 60 lakhs" she said horrified
"YOU HID IT?" Jayadev was pissed
A guilty flush covered her face
"HOW do you propose to arrange the money?" he demanded "All you want to talk about is how the cook quit,
how the collections werent upto par, how its getting tougher there, how wonderful a shiny new restaurant will be" he mumbled scrolling through Trisha's texts to him
"He didnt ask for anything... he just wants me to forget everything. He doesnt even want me to explore this idea" "Do you know that?"she cried softly
"Good then... drop it" Jayadev said relieved
Her tears jolting him, but youth and his sexual energy stalling him from pacifying her as that would mean he couldnt make out or have sex any time soon.
"Oh how can you say that?" she said accusingly
His hand now feeling her cleavage possessively... he was ready to go back to bed...
"I am saying if he doesnt want you to bother. Dont bother... Trishu... Trishu"
he moaned needily hoping to get laid "Its OK... he is old... we dont know cooking... we dont know serving" "We can just let him be"
He dragged her off the chair she fell on him.. her lower body encountering his... and she stiffened as she understood why the "Trishu" was uttered.
He lay her down hungrily, and began pawing with the door wide open with an urgency that was suddenly annoying her...
