Thank you for the welcome to this thread...it's nice to be in the company of like minded, addicted souls as myself!

What you said about a love story and us the reader wanting to be one of the couple is an interesting concept, I myself don't see me as II or want R&B as a lover/spouse, maybe cos I am happily married to a great guy but I am definitely rooting for these two to be together forever and am loving the journey they are going through as part of their love story.

Loved the newest update, the effect that super phone convo had on II was so adorable...she is anxious for their next face to face encounter as are we are 😳 I always love phone romance always reminds me of many convo's I had with my hubby at the beginning of our story...talking for ages about nothing in particular, just loving hearing them speak, breath and those silent aww moments 😳

There will be drama when Amma/Appa find out about R&B but we want more stolen moments between these two before this happens. The fact that it's secret makes the story even more fun to read.

Awaiting with bated breath for your next scrummy update 😊


Sparkle

I created a man and a woman as close to REAL as possible, YET immensely FANTASTIC😳
I am blown away by the absolutely breathtaking response this has received. Unseating Ekta Kapoor's leads was never my goal. But I seem to have achieved that quite SIMPLY😉

Yes Amma Appa will find out in the next part or two, or three... and then we walk towards AGM and the dum dum dum (Tamil wedding/ shehnai😳)

Not sure if I should resolve the father son falling out before or after

I will poll for it when I get to it😳

I was "shaking like a leaf" while reading it, literally. Her arms on her forehead, covering herself with the blanket was all so natural. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm not very good with words I hope you understand my feelings, ironically I'm an editor.


OFCOURSE I DID!

HOW many times does a regular girl like me get compared to Arundhati Roy?👏👏
NEVER!!
But I RECEIVED THE HONOR OF BEING COMPARED😳
So, I could write ONE or MANY for you👏

You are most welcome, hope it lived up to your expectations

Seized by Sydney & Beats audio
Part 113


Sam called her Thursdayish
"manny is returning so I am hosting dinner" "Do u want to come?"😉

Umm NO I cant,😭
IF HE WONT GET THERE UNTIL MONDAY AT 2AM I CANT WHAT USE IS A VISIT TO SHANTI NIKETAN IF I DONT SEE HIM?

"Oh please don't say that... R&B bhi nahi hoga"🤣

Riiight... right... I SHOULD EITHER STOP LYING TO MYSELF OR LYING TO OTHERS😈

"Ummm doesn't he want to wish her good bye?"😲

Sam laughed... "tumhe uske bare mein nahi maloom, he is VERY RANDOM. kabhi he hasn't seen her for 6 months,
kabhi he will see her THREE WEEKS IN A ROW, he will fly from Paris to Sydney, JUST TO SPEND TWO DAYS WITH HER"😳

II's jaw dropped... 😲
GREAT THEN... MY LUCK...
TRUE II, U HAD YOUR CHANCE WITH A SEEDHA SAADHA IYER BOY THAT STAYS UP TO CLEAN HIS HOUSE,
AND WORKS 80 HOURS A WEEK, BUT ONNODA CHOICE ROMBA BRILLIANT... ONAKKU 6'3" STAYING UP AT NIGHTS READING...
A VENTURE CAPITALIST THAT MOONLIGHTS AS A CAR SALESMAN DAAN PIDICHIRKU SO PADU VEDANAI. U only like this guy so bhugto khoob😭

"Oh, three weeks in a row to Sydney?"😲

"Socho Ishita, mera matlab II, 21.5 hours times two, two times a week" she giggled "Three weeks in a row"😲

He is obsessive? Seized by Sydney?😲

"He can be passionate like that" Sam completed😳

"Umm... oh" "Oh" II struggled for words through a dry mouth...☺️


"He will fly with a backpack and a few books..."
NOT CONDOMS😭? II WANTED TO KNOW

"Oh? "Umm" II mumbled

"Aur wahan jaakar kya karega? Uske couch par lete books padhega,
US SE GINKAR 4 SENTENCES BAAT KAREGA POOREY DIN MEIN..WITH EACH LINE WILL EITHER DRIVE
HER UP THE WALL OR MAKE HER MURDEROUS..Kabhi kabhi mujhe Manny Lab se call karke royegi... he makes people so crazy"... he will expect to be fed... his hair is usually a mess when he returns,
Manny uske airport mein check ke time selfie bhejegi, it would be in these twirled clumps" Sam laughed hysterically🤣



"Mera mann karega uske cheeks pakadkar apne haathon se uske baal theek karoon like I do Nandu's"😳


Around "here" (IN MY FANTASY WORLD WITH UR BRO) We call it FINGER KANGI, ermmm and yes... hes gotten many...☺️


"He works in Paris?" she asked curiously

"He works whenever and wherever, he will work 30 every other day straight and not work a week after"
Sam said indulgently... "U have to throw books at the monster, warna usko sambhalna bahut mushkil hai, hes very naughty"😳😉

"Naughty?" II croaked😳

Sam laughed rolling on the floor literally

"I sound like I am talking about Nandu nahi?" Sam asked fearfully😃

"Worse" she whispered... her heart threatening to detonate😲😭

"Kya kahoon, ekdum lazy hai ek dum cheeky hai ,ekdum QUIET lekin jo bhi milta hai people like Vandu and you think he is an angel...

NO NO NO I DONT THINK THAT I HAVE SOME ADJECTIVES FOR HIM THAT MIGHT
CAUSE YOUR EAR TO CATCH FIRE.. NO... I DONT THINK HE IS AN ANGEL... I DONT... RAKSHASAN... THATS WHAT HE IS😡




"To tum aa jao koi khatra nahi hai, Vandita ko bhi bulaya maine" Sam gushed
"What did she say?" II asked😃
"KYON BATAYEN TUMHE? Aakar apne aap dekho" Sam scolded😆
"Main call kar loongi Akka ko" sulking😡
"Weve decided we wont tell u if she is coming or not" Sam chuckled😉
"KYON?"😲

"Kyon ki maine usko kaha tum ekdum quiet ho so if u see familiar faces
tum unke saath lagi rahogi and u wont talk with us, so u will be thrown out there and I want to watch u interact"

"I talk like nobody's business" II said😆

"Chalo aakar baat karo phir dekhenge hum"😉


II immediately called Vandu

"Nee poreya ka, are u going?"

"where da?"

"Ummm to Sam's" "for Manny's going away?"

"WHY?' asked Akka mischievously
"I am going" II said confidently

"Oh great" U shud kanna" Akka said

"WHERE is it?" Ii asked foolishly "Sam's hosue daane?"

"No, R&B's" akka gushed

"oh! Havent been there" II supplied unnecessary lies
She told Amma... Amma was not as angry as she was last time when Sree's proposal was lurking

But she wasn't happy either... "Why should YOU go? Vandu should go, Vandu's kid is friends with her kid, u? Doesn't make any sense ma"

"Sam is very nice Ma, she is not at all snobbish, or mean" Ii defended

"that could be... I am not denying that kanna" "No... All I am saying is, this
friendship thing is weird... u know where is the commonality? different language,
Iyers, vegetarians, not business people, not even 1% as wealthy as them,
u are not Sam's age... ONLY link is you deliver a product at Ranjan's office" Amma was baffled

Rightfully so

But in life we don't think so much... friends are formed when connections happen

"Amma she likes my voice and thinks ... I shud be a movie star" Ii blushed, rejoicing at the thought

"Ama last time she asked me if u will do cinema" Amma's tone was "She must be mad"

II shook her head

"Appa height onakku, u have ur Dad's height.. and u are so wrapped up in some drama u don't eat, and weigh less than u shud" stern

"OK I will eat more" "I promise"😳

"sree drama is over no more starving. U can starve for him and when u
fight with him but cant marry him... youngsters" Amma had a face palm moment

Kaash Amma ko har sach ka pata rehta...😆

"appa kitta enna solla porey? What will u tell Appa?" Ii asked
"Umm... I dont know... I will say u will come late" AMMA REFUSED TO LIE
"Romba late pannaade, dont be at the party until mid night" Amma suggested😭

"No Ma"
"Last time u went to the baby's party you returned at 2? and were sick for a week, ava ..sahavasam edo troubling aa irukku, their association seems a little suspect to me" Amma said bluntly😡😭

"I wont be dismissive like Appa, I am willing to relent and allow u to go, but dont make it a habit"😡
Amma will not reveal to her NOW what Natesam Mami had told her about Sree and II's proposal cancellation and what Natesan Mami made of
R&B and II showing up at Vandu's house at 10:30 that other night, Jan 26th.

Natesan Mami in her disappointment may have started "spreading rumors"
A time will come when Amma will bring it all out in the open soon

"You are young and single, you need to get out more, you sing wherever Appa and I sign u up for, uve topped every class uve taken so we are cutting you some slack" Amma spoke matter of factly

She was not prone to HUGE emotional swings like Appa, Appa was like II...
Amma was rational and practical

" Though I dont express it, I agree with Appa, we cannot allow affairs before marriage, or marriage out of the community" she said,
getting up to go get veggies for dinner.
"Tomorrow even eating meat will seem fine, stopping singing will seem fine, there is no end point" Amma said strictly

II sat there staring at Amma somberly...

But for now, she will defend her daughter and her stance of NOT wanting to marry Sree👏
Amma doesnt see anything wrong in II rejecting Sree...
What seems "perfect" to Amma Appa is obviously not to her... and they are fine with that... for NOW👏



~~~
Ofcourse Akka went, Akka Athim, and Shravu... it was at Malcha Marg...
and it began at 6, by the time Ii got off work, changed and got herself a cab, since Amma Appa were going at 4 to meet a "friend" in NOIDA
appa's car was unreliable so they took hers...
she realized she had left her laptop bag in her cube, she pinned her badge to her skirt😆

(Author's note:I put her in the following
http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/tibi-skirt-tattoo-print-silk-gazaar-pleated?
ID=1231773&CategoryID=19951&LinkType=#/fn=SKIRT_STYLE=Midi%3B%3BMaxi&spp=4&ppp=96&sp=1&rid=&spc=86)


Ran up to get it and ran back...
She had to work late tonight to review for a big Monday meeting when Rakshasan was going to be back and have his wits smacked

the French had left for Pondicherry, for a a couple days before they would return

She reached Malcha Marg fighting Friday evening traffic, later than expected...
She left her heels on, since it was a lawn/ living room ... send off

"Did u have to scan it at the gate?" Sam winked
"Kya?"
Tumhara badge" Sam chuckled..
"Oh! Sorry, I just wore it because I forgot my laptop so went to get it...
Sam took her bags and purse and kacket and then noticed it...
She handed it to her she instructed the help to put it away

Manny greeted her cheerfully... she was straight forward and talkative not very gushy or sweet like Sam
"U look lovely" she said to II
"thanks, mujhe laga evening party hai to"
"Sure... Chanakyapuri waits for an excuse to dress up" she said sniggering at the crowd
"So are u all set?" II asked
"Kind of" "I am leaving tomm nite, since u know I can leave after the party,
Vikram and me are going to be too dtrunk to walk through security" she giggled
"That wont be good" II said
"Do u drink?" Manny asked
"Wine... I guess.." II said
"thats probably a big thing for Iyers nahi?" she asked bluntly
"Not big, big taboo" Ii said sheepishly
Shravu arrived after 10 or so minutes
"Look at you, you look so lovely, all dressed up and no cute guys in sight" Vandu winked
"Too many actually" Ii tilted her head

Most men were HOT and well dressed... tall fair typical Punjabi good looks and reeked of money
"I am glad Bala dressed well, they will give him a complex di" Akka whispered
"athim is hot apdi sollaade" II muttered
"But look around YOU, so handsome... take ur pick Ishita, I will go talk" Vandu gushed
"Amma Appa enna panna porey, what do u plan to do with Amma and Appa?" Iia sked
Sam greeted vandu, checked on her "condition" Tanmay whisked Bala away for a "drink"
The party was posh, and page 3 esque...👏
She walked in to refill her glass of sparkling cider.. and wandered by the living room...
Beautiful slim carved tables lined the wall with lamps at both ends and artifacts on the center...

She walked over to the Monet in the little lounge by the living room... there must be a half dozen little rooms every where in this house... "WHY?"😲 and leaned on the wall eyes closed.☺️.. not noticing R&B come and go into the lounge, he didnt see her either
She walked along the wall, and noticed the red Beats earphone... she picked it up, and turned it.. the left ear "L" was faded
She knew whose it was, she picked it up and tucked it into her skirt pocket with a slow smile☺️

Oh we're back at the Monet again...such fond memories related to that painting. 😳😆
Sam is a total sweetheart! She reminds me a lot of my aunt, if you take away the fact that Sam is a millionaire who lives in the poshest part of Delhi🤣, but personality-wise they seem quite similar...sweet and down-to-earth.

She stole his headphones?
If R&B doesn't find them and she manages to sneak them home with her, can we have her listen to to the Billboard 100 snuggled up in bed with them? Or he could find them in her pocket and use them to tie up her hands while he kisses her senseless as payback for stealing. 😈

Life's like a box of chocolates
Part 113

"Things in life happen for a reason they say" ... with a "Southern accent".😉 Amma and Appa headed to NOIDA to meet Brig Moorthy at 6.
Appa picked up Amma at Andrews Ganj, he left early from North Block and spent an hour
weaving through the AIIMS mess to get to KV Andrews Ganj, they headed towards Ashram on Ring Road
"Aval enga pora, where is she going?" Appa asked😃
"Edo friend sonna" Amma said NOT revealing the whole truth but not lying either😉
"Yaaru"😊
"Australia poralam, farewell sonna, she is headed to Syd so farewell" Amma said haltingly😭
"Good good, youngsters should enjoy weekends, these days they are all going clubs and bars., Ishita is a very good young lady" Appa beamed in Iyer style👏
"yes, she has given us so many things to be proud of" Amma agreed👏
"Yes, Subbu was a black mark, more like Subbu is a black mark" Appa said vehemently😡🤢

He was a man in his early 60s, old fashioned even HE wasnt so obsessed with his Amma or his mentally retarded Anna
It was shameful for Appa to think a man in 2015 would be such a "Mamm's boy"😡🤢

"Seri vidungo" Amma said, we are going for a good thing...👏😃

"Yes, Squadran Leader Ashwin Moorthy, he is 6 feet tall, what Sector they are in NOIDA?"😳
"Amma looked at her text Army Sector 37?"😃
Appa waited at the Ashram signal, 10, 15 minutes passed... there was a jam all the way up to the Mayur Vihar bridge they were told...😭
Amma texted Mrs Moorthy... they said they could wait until 6:30. They had to go to some Army Officers Wives Gala at 7😭

Amma Appa, waited at the intersection at 6:30😭, Appa somehow managed to turn left towards Nizamuddin and take the by lanes and they returned to South Ex and eventually to RK Puram Sector 12 at 7
Mrs Moorthy texted saying "We are sorry, dont worry we are headed to Malai Mandir on Saturday for Thai Poosam festival, we will come see you"😳😃

Amma was very happy...👏
Appa, a very religious man, a man that equated delays and cancellations as divine intervention (they call it sahunam in Tamil)suspected this was not good news, he didnt tell his wife tho😭
He couldnt bear to see her disappointed again about Ishita, first Subbu, then Sree, then Ashwin?😭
No no, everything with be OK "Krishna" appa prayed mentally😭

His wife had even planned the sarees to get for Ishita both at the time of Subbu and Sree... and WHAT the "tiffin" (Iyer wedding breakfast) should be😭
Based on recent South Delhi weddings of Iyers/Iyengars she had been part of...😭

They walked up the stairs as Amma chattered about WHAT to make for Moorthys' visit tomorrow, "theratti paal and bonda?" "Milk cake and potato bonda"😳😃
"Appa said "Sure!!" CHEERFULLY😃

Appa changed, Amma hadnt, they tuned to Sun TV after checking on Peraippa, Amma put a quick batch of idlis for dinner😃

The door bell rang, Appa lowered the TV volume, let down his folded veshti and opened the door.. turned on the bigger lights in the living room

Ranjan Bhalla stood at the door..😲.
Appa was startled...😲

"Oh! hello" he said politely😃

"Is this a good time Sir?" Ranjan asked

"Yes it is, Yes it is," Appa said inadervetently not intending to be rude
(Who knew it was indeed a "good time"😳👏)
"Ranjan bearing two huge boxes, of dry fruits expensive mithai and chocolates, atleast 5lbs of each

"What is this" Appa asked smiling

"Just something for you all, Ishita can have it if u cant"

Appa noticed he was not referring to her as Ms Iyer😳

Amma peeked from the kitchen, pulling her pallu over her shoulder, kinda "Iyer respectfully"😆

Hello Mr Ranjan, welcome" she said😳..And looked to see if she had decoction for filter coffee
Appa and him sat down

Amma came and sat down also

"How is everything Mr Iyer?"
"Good Good" said Appa hiding his disappointment from earlier, skilfully
"What brings u here?" Amma asked
She got up to get water and arranged for filter coffee...

"Is Ishita not home? Ranjan asked😳
"No, she went for a farewell, some friend is going to Australia" APPA SAID
AMMA dropped the sugar dabba's lid in the kitchen, it clattered to the flooor🤣

"Incidentally my daughter thats studying for her Ph D in Sydney is also leaving tomorrow night" Ranjan said extremely happy😆
"What a coincidence":Appa said😲
"Yes in fact there is a aparty for her now at our place, she visits every 3 or 4 months, but u know youngsters" Ranjan gushed😳
Appa shifted uncomfortably, and looke dt Amma... she looked away...

Amma served coffee murukku and coconut burfi

Ranjan drank from the davar tumbler. He asked why Amma Appa were not having any, they said its dinner time

"Well I am here to ask u something and hope you wont decline" Ranjan said "I will come straight to the point. I cannot talk windingly (MUST BE LIKE HIS SON MAN OF FEW WORDS)
Amma felt a churn strangely in the pit of her stomach...
"I would like my son Raman to marry your daughter Ishita Mr Iyer. I want her to be my daughter-in-law" he said cheerfully.

Amma & Appa's expression?
Well all that and more coming up...🤣
