He returns to India... reluctantly... to manage his Dad's biz, a chain of automobile dealerships across North India called Excelsior Automobiles... for M company cars He abandoned the family over a scandal that rocked it three years ago. To say he doesn't like his Dad would be an understatement.😭

Arya special!!!

Neeyum Ashuvum toongave maatela di? (DONT U EVER SLEEP?) After shaadi u will sleep ghorey bechkar. when hubs "Wants to do it" Mujhe pakka maloom hai😆 TAB duniya bhar ki neend aayegi tum dono ko. I will find ur hubbies and tell them its all a bloody hoax and u have the "capacity and stamina" to stay up🤣

Nazar Milaana & Naked guards
Sam asked if she should send dinner since MM help must all be tired and worn out,
Ranjan refused, he said he didnt eat whatever II served for brunch he will just eat that for dinner, and since the couple was going to visit the Iyers in the evening, he didnt want to make a big deal

His DIL had invited him to go, he hesitated to go randomly like that, I know Iyers believed in protocol and all

"She was cleaning and ordering him around, isko pakdo... pidi? pata nahi kya in Tamil" "He DID" ranjan said proudly

"U are kidding Sam gushed

"No no, she only talks in Tamil when she has to scold him, he chuckles, or doesnt respond... he finds her amusing I think" Ranjan said

"That is so funny Dad"

"she wanted a couch a certain way in the living room, he wanted it the other way so he refused to help her. usne mahavir ko bulaya aur lagaakar kaam kahtam kar diya"
Ranjan said proudly
Sam laughes hysterically...

Every time he would go sit down on the swing to read a book she would stan din front of him, "please one more thing kanna" "yeh kanna kanha hai kya?"

"Jee Dad" Sam said between laughter

"Finally she took his book and walked away, he had to help and didnt get to read... she is bossy" he said

"He lets her BE?" Sam asked

"Yes yes... uska khaana kha jaata hai uski juice khatam kar di usne, he bothers her a lot, they were tussling on the swing when I left them alone" Ranjan said embarrassed

"Ek photo to le lete" Sam complained

"Photo kya? its the same story, he would have over powered her like he used to over power you and Manya, woh bechaari maan gayi hogi" Ranjan said proudly

"He didnt go for golf?" she asked

"shaayad nahi, gaadi yahi khari hai" he peeked out the balcony on the first floor

"She didnt let him go?"

"I think he was tired puttar he has no schedule, raat ko call par, and then poker..." Ranjan sounded somber and worried

"she will take care of him Dad" Sam said

"And ME TOO puttar" he said choking up

"Dad?"

"I think I am goingt o be OK too, because of her... he spoke to me today" he cried softly

"Oh wow!! kab?" Sam cleared her throat

"Woh usko tang kar rahi thi, maine kaha I will help u beta ji, she said NO DAD" "I told him "I tried beta" HE SMILED. Uske baad usne mujhe Sam Adams laakar dee"

"But u hate that" "Dont u?" she asked baffled

"Usne poochha aur main ne pee liya, woh kuch be de mujhe mana kaise karoon?" he asked wiping his tears

Sam cried too

"socho agar Ishita nahi hoti, na usne oopar se neeche aana hai, na mujhse nazar milaana hai, na mere saamne baithna hai na hasna hai" Ranjan listed continuing to cry
"Atleast when she is around he wont ignore me" he sounded overjoyed
Sam felt terrible her father had to pray for DIL to be present in order to get a smile of his son.

~~~~~~~~~~
She woke him at 6:30, "hey sleepy head" she leaned over, she lay on the day bed talking to her paattu teacher about classes tomorrow,
she was done with work at 5:30 ish

She took a short nap and woke at 6:20 and set up class, and promised to practice starting tomorrow

He turned, and looked through crinkled eyes "Hey, what time is it?" "
"6:30" she said, she had packed him off upstairs with a request to take a nap when he lay
on the 1st floor couch yawning checking email, long after the book was snatched from him, he finally went up fro a nap at 4:30 and hopefully was energized now to stay up all night like he did

"Can u stop working through the night she asked leaning over him, he scooted back, indicating she should lay down

She knew he wouldnt make love, but was dying to lay down by him, she did the spot he was laying on was warm

"What was ur q" he asked in a sleep drugged voice
"Dont stay up all night" she said softly

"New rules?" he teased

"Koi asar to nahi" she said softly, both her hands under her cheek in prayer...

"I took a nap didnt I" he asked
"Because u were half awake on the couch" she said

"I was doing that so u wouldnt hand me work" he said

"Thanks for lying to me" she said smiling

"Anytime" he said

"So u dont want to go see Periappa?" she asked softly

He smiled

"Here I was thinking u are talking, and I get a smile" she said

He smiled again..

"Do ur vocal chords get tired fast or something?" she asked giggling, feeling his neck casually

And withdrew..
He didnt protest...

"will u read the books I gave you?" she asked

He nodded...

"I thanked u for the flowers, u didnt thank me for the books" she said

"U didnt" he said, and fished for his phone, she qucikly went to hers, on the bedside table and HIT SEND ON THE THANKS SHE WROTE THREE? DAYS AGO

when he went to his IMs from her, he chuckled

"U are a stinkin liar II" he said resting his head on his elbow, looking down at her, she lay on her back

"Goes to prove u still havent thanked me" she texted

She was wearing a skimpy skinny tee and shorts in sweats material, ragged edges in pink... she shifted to move her braid out from under neath and set her legs on his

She stretched her legs out to avoid the touch

He leaned down on her

"I am fine" "actually" she lied, defensively, as if she could live with him the rest of her life without sex...

"U look delicious" he agreed

Wordlessly they stared at each other.. "U shud get ready if you are going" she said...

"What about u, are u going in shorts..." he mocked

"Appa's house I will still be his baby" she said smugly "Him and I would go shop at Sarojini Nagar market when I was a teenager, NOTHING skimpy, nothing revealing, but fashionable
I would have killed to have a lacy bralette u know... a couple girls in class wore those, they were skinny... umm... I was OK... and yet got matronly bras" II chuckled

"Are u wearing one now?"

"Wearing NONE now" she said softly😳

His eyes assumed the look of "And you tell me NOW?"😃
He didnt have to touch to confirm, she was aroused...under normal circumstances his scratchy face would have been all over her tee

"I begged for Amma to get me above the knee skorts or skirts, but she never bought any, I mean the tallest girl in class always in jeans.
My legs have not been seen by anyone" she giggled

"If they hadnt been strict I might have ended up being a pop singer, with tattoos all over, cussing, and sleeping out of boxes" she said

"Did u always want to own your business?" she asked

"I always wanted to be a hiker" he said

"U should sign up to own a REI franchise or something" she said
"I dont want to sell stuff" he mocked

"I know but I dont want to be hiking all the time" (so u need to have a profession that partially satIsfies you while I GET TO BE WITH YOU)

He smiled softly... "have u been on hiking or camping trips"

"Nahi" she said

"do u want to go?" he asked

"Kal?" she asked excited so she can get out of paattu class😆

"Umm no... next weekend..." "theres a place on way to Shimla, its called Kangojodi, can u take Monday the 20th off?" he asked "30 kms from Nahan"
he looked for pictures, and inadvertently placed an arm over her chest to show on his phone, he had forgotten he wasnt going to touch her

HE WAS SUDDENLY ALL WORDS

She turned to look at him, he looked like he was a prisoner that had just been told his release date

"We could go Fri night" he planned

"Its SO BEAUTIFUL... so far away from everything" she gushed.. "Ive never stayed in a tent" "Its going to be so exciting"
"Can we take the boys?"

She looked expectantly "For someone that hated kids she sure always wanted to travel with her rat pack
He hid his smiled "Ummm sure"

"I dont have any camping gear" she said embarrassed, he dropped the phone between them, and turned her, to face him

"I have enough for 20 people" he said

"WHERE? Mera matlab, I only see furniture and books and gadgets" she waved her hand like a child "where is all the stuff?"

"I have a dungeon" he said staring at her lips

"Do u have a naked guard?" she asked, mocking
For some one that didnt read much or so she claimed, she surely had a wicked imagination he thought

"I let her wear jewelry" he said huskily

~~~~
She wore an art work kanjeevaram in purple with silver grey peacocks all over
with a silver grey cap sleeve blouse,
he wore grey dockers and a white shirt for a change, with a wide black belt, he even had grey suede shoes to match

She watched him leaning on the wall by the TV as he tied his lace deftly

"what?" he asked

"Ur shoes match umm...she said

MATCH MY BRALETTE, AND MY... UMM... NEVER MIND

Amma hugged her for a good five minutes and dragged him by hand inside

Appa was inside, he walked over "U are late kanna" he said looking at him accusingly

"Hello Mr Iyer" he said , extending a hand with those loong slender artist like fingers😳

5th tallest and world poverty

Appa began doing what he seemed to be a pro at, baying for his younger son in law's blood

II took off her pointy two in heels, teetering on her heel to take off her left one, grabbing her husband's elbow..
II and R&B had brought boxes of chocolate, mithai and flowers

"u dont have to take off kanna, in our house why do u have to follow formalities"

ALL RULES ARE FOR THE DUDE!!

He took his Suede shoes off, clean well maintained, , his socks was also silver grey... as if his feet needed protecting
ARGHHH1!!

She walked over to Periappa's room and sat on the bed, the night nurse was half asleep,
"Uthenge zara" she asked
The man looked curiously at the dude
First question he asked II "Kitne lambey hain aapke husband"

"Umm 6'6""😎

"Inka sar to pankhe mein lag raha hai!!!!" the guy made the discovery, astounded with it, lounging comfortably on his seat

"Haan" said II hoping hed get up

"Yeh to aapse bhi lambe hain" he said😡
AYYYO! PO DA!!!

"Duniya mein paachve sabse lambe hain" II lied🤣

The man got up in shock, he was 4'11 max...

"Jaane se pehle ek inke saath selfie le sakta hoon Maam?"🤣

"Waise yeh har photo ke Rs.100 lete hain, par aapke liye free" she said grimly🤣

R&B watched patiently as his wife, used her gift of gab, the nurse walked out staring semi-curiously and elaated at him

II woke Periappa up, and hugged him, sat on the floor near his bed, "Yaara kootindu vandriken paathela?" (see who I brought

He stood solemnly by her, she held his hand

Periappa acted like he knew R&B was... stared curiously

"Ivanukku advice pannungo" (give him advice)

"Anything Periappa" she begged, laughing and teasing

"Tell him he shudnt stay up the whole night.. umm tell him to sleep more, read one book less, not throw his tee,
NERAYA PESA SOLLUNGO (Ask him to talk to me LOTSSS)
and enna paaka sollungo, enna maatram paaka sollungo (HE SHUD ONLY LOOK AT ME), ennodave irukka sollungo (he must always be with me)
naraya sanda poda sollungo (ask him to fight with me), konjalam aduvum OK (she giggled)

He cried when she said this, she wiped his tears

To II it felt like there was a sane intelligent man trapped inside a body that didnt cooperate with him, his eyes always shone, like precious stones

"I got 5 kinds of chocolates and 5 kinds of sweets, IVAN DAAN VAANGINAAN" She pulled the dude

She hugged his arm tightly "He likes u a lot Periappa. You have no idea.. umm... ivanoda jaali ya irukku enakku... Shravu oda sanda podra madiri irukku (its a lot of fun to be with him, its like being with Shravu)
Enna Appa madiri paathukaran (he takes care of me like Appa does)

"Epaavume ennoda irupana kekarela?" (will he be with me forever, will u ask?) she asked earnestly

Saying so she began to cry... "I miss you so so much. U have no idea, I dont read Tamil gossip anymore only Hindi" she giggled

the Tamil ones she didnt translate for the dude...

She got up let go of his hand and hugged periappa tight

"Idu 4 weeks aa pottindrikken" (I am wearing my choora for 4 weeks) "Innam 6 years pottupen" (will wear em for 6 years) she giggled
Periappa looked shocked, sometimes his expressions matched her talks mostly it didnt

"Next week varela?" (will u come next week?) U must stay with me for a week or 10 days.
I will take you to the ridge for a walk, there is a motorized wheel chair I saw in Vasant Vihar I will buy that for you"

She went and brought a box of mithai unwrapped and slowly fed him one and R&B brought water she fed him water, wiped his face clean

Periappa mumbled loudly... besh besh he said

II leaned on the window in the room and stared out, swallowing her tears with difficulty
"We are here arent we" he said softly

"I know... I am being silly" she said softly...
Amma had pinned meters of jasmine in her hair... as soon as she stepped in..

They stood silently gazing out at the night... she pulled the blankets over the old man, shut the light,
kissed his forehead, wiped her tears off his forehead, and reapplied his vibhuti
Appa applied some every night to ward off seizures, for in faith there is hope...

"amma coffee tareya?" she walked out

"Ippo coffee edukku dee, have dinner, its past 8"

R&B sat in the EXACT same chair every time, a one seater couch... facing the TV...

"anda TV volume kammi pannungo" (turn down the TV)

Appa acted like he didnt hear

"Hey II, can u get me some water"

She smiled mischievously, "I mean the ride was 3 kms long I bet u are thirsty dude"

Amma: How are you beta?"

"I am fine Mrs Iyer thanks" he said

"How was Zurich? Geneva? Where were you?" Appa asked, pulling his veshti over his ankles in a affected way... arms folded acros shis chest

"Geneva Sir" he said politely

Appa got up with a "excuse me"

II brought water in a SOMBU (its like a tear drop shaped water holder that usually holds atleast 4 glasses of water)

He gave her a look, she giggled and produced a tumbler from behind and poured out, Amma brought a
bottle and handed to him "she will always do something unexpected, sorry"

He smiled

"Ishita stop it raja, its a new place, dont make him uncomfortable"

Appa returned with his cell phone from the bedroom "Mr Nair has called back Madhu" he said sitting down again

"sorry please continue" he said

"Did u have a question" R&B asked

HE NEVER HAD ANY FOR ANYBODY
EXCEPT HIS WIFE OFCOURSE
But she was busy gossiping with Amma in the kitchen, dropping pots and pans "Ishita, stop it"

"Ishita dont fill up to the top raja"
"Ishita tap a first moodu nee, tanni waste pannaade (dont waste water)

She appeared at the door way "Will u have coffee da?" she asked

Appa stared SHOCKED

Amma:ayyyoo!! Appa is there dont say DA.

"II: will u have coffee kanna?"

Appa was now angry, his endearment for his darling is now his darling's endearment for the "rich Punjabi boy"

R&B: A lil may be?

Appa: So what sort of companies are you looking at?

R&B: Mostly incomputers and networking sir

Appa waited dfor the paragraph but nothing came

II heard that when she came to the frig to get milk

II:PESU da. Please?

R&B:Umm... mostly companies that have better way to network, or get a certain kind of data, or search engine technology?
The geneva proposal was a nano technology venture
He spoke about it for two minutes

Appa: Do u ever fund companies that help the common man?

Appa was on a mission to pin world poverty and hunger on his son in law

R&B: We occasionally get interesting ones, but most dont pan out

Appa:WHY? If there is money there should be good research!!

R&B: Unfortunately its not so straight forward Sir!!

Appa: Companies have all sorts of products that are only looking for good investors you know. If u are shy of spending, u will not find good candidates

R&B nodded, though he vehemently disagreed he nodded to get it over with

II brought his coffee in a davara tumbler.. he handed her the davara and sipped softly between his thumb and index finger tilting the tumbler backwards
She went into the kitchen and looked at him, he raised an eyebrow

Appa: according to Economics Times housing, travel and food and beverage are the top sectors in India, you only have e-commerce and SW?

R&B:Thats my area of expertise Sir, we have 7 on our team

Appa: any other Indians?
R&b: None sir!

Appa went back to looking for an article to show him
II returned and sat on the arm of the chair he sat on...

"Shud I scoot?"

"Appa will kill me" she whispered casually... at such PDAs... not a very Iyer thing..

It irritated him that she was being afraid of the guy

Curse & Care

Shravu: Smallest bird egg

R&B: Swallow?

Shravu:WRONGGG again, Hummingbird!!!

R&B: Longest sea creature

Shravu ran around the bed, JUMPED and lunged at the dude "THE BLUE WHALEEE"

He fell on R&B, R&B almost fell on II, backwards

II: Yenn da? What is wrong with you?

R&B: We need to start a Math quiz dude

Shravu: lets go Geography Uncle R

R&B smiled "Thats for our private sessions" doing a high five

Shravu:I know many bad words
Vandu"WHATTT?

Bala called out to her as he left the room so she left

Shravu: Chithi uses MANY

R&B:Oh! Really?

II: Shravu, you sleep tonite, I will shave a word on your head

Shravu: She says "kazhudai" which means donkey, she says PAAVI, which means thief

II:Ayyyo! PODA!! It means sinner!!

II began to sit up curious, where this whole thing was leading
Shravu:She says KOLLAIKARAN... that means murderer, SHE USES THAT FOR YOU A LOTTT!!!
"A LOT A LOT" he stressed

R&B looked at her, seriously, his eyes mocking "Care to explain that one?" look

II: It doesnt mean murderer... umm... it doesnt he has no clue. (mumbling)

Shravu:shes lying, whenever she talks about you WHICH IS ALL THE TIME she says that word

II: Ayyo... go play PS 3 in Paatti's room
Shravu:tell him what it means

II:It means umm... ermm.. THIEF

Husband and wife stared interminably, his eyes caressed her face...

II: I only said it once! (grumbling)

R&B: Liar!!!

Amma walked in "Lets eat, we have to get up early tomorrow for the new year"

R&B looked curiously

II: Amma why dont you guys come over to Malcha Marg for new year

Shravu IAM IN

Vandu walked in: USKO bhi pooch le zara (laughing, hubby and her sat on the divan as Bala showed her something on his phone)

R&B smiled "I dont care" he said

II:SEE he doesnt.. how come you dont show me any pictures on your phone? Athim and Akka are always sitting together and giggling over the phones

R&B leaned back on the bed BY HER, "you can look at my phone there arent funny pictures" he said

Amma: She always competes

R&B:Does she? Really? (chuckling)

II: Not funny! OK?

R&B: Nope!

Vandu:You havent eaten have you?

R&B: No not yet

Amma:GET UP Vandita, you had chai at 7 its past 10 get up

R&B:How are you today?

Shravu ran to the living room

Vandu nodded quietly "Each day is different"
Bala:Sunti nahi yaar... she does her own thing man!

Amma had left

R&B:Must be in the gene you think?

II smacked him "How mean mere hi ghar mein meri burayi?"

Vandita:Excuse me, this is Amma Appa's house, you belong in Malcha Marg, like I in Munirka (she hugged Bala)

II:You could hug me (whispering)

R&B:Can I kiss you?

II blushed NO! Absolutely not
He bent down and kissed her anyway, a quick peck

Vandita:OMG!! Did u see that Bala, romba fast aa irukan paiyan (boy is very fast)

Bala:Hamari ladki dheeli hai yaar

II just stared at R&B "I missed you" she whispered

Bala and Vandu left them alone... shutting the door

Bala peeked "No acts on empty stomach"

R&B chuckled

II clung to his arm burrowing in his chest

He moved her laid her down and kissed her, hungrily, he tasted like beer, she tasted like something she ate at the temple.
She gave him a finger kangi... and smiled, kissing him on his cheek... "Thats for coming over to take me home" she said softly

"So u actually want to go?" he asked in disbelief

"i was ready to when you kissed me by the Monet" she thought

She smiled instead

There was a knock on the door... he let go reluctantly, and sat up, she lay down staring up at him

They returned at around midnight, he didnt eat much she noticed, typical Iyer food he didnt care for much, she noticed, Appa and Amma did
too, he had one scoop of both rice, and declined seconds

she got off the car and took of her sandals and asked "Do u want something to eat?"

"Umm.. not sure whats available" he said

They wandered to the kitchen, the wall to wall refrigerators were stacked with stuff, she knew where everything was, or atleast was beginning to
She brought an array of covered bowls out, found dough... heated up the food, made rotis and fed him

He ate quietly just as he always did... not much just two rotis and some non vegetarian gravy of some sort

She ate a bite of rasmalai as it was irresistible, from his bowl

She stacked everything away, Ranjan walked down surprised to see them both

"He didnt eat much Dad" she said

"Good otherwise I dont allow anybody to eat" he chuckled, joking "or wander in the kitchen after 9 PM"

Ii smiled

R&B sipped his water staring out into the patio

"Will u have rasmalai?" she asked

"Sure puttar" "Just one, and if u are making for urself then I would like some hot chocolate"

she made some for him...

"How is the new car?"

"Shiny" she said, and showed him pictures..

"U picked a good color red is auspicious" he nodded

"did u drive it?" he asked R&B

"No I didnt" he said politely

"Appa wanted me to drive it but I didnt either" Ii said

"He learned to drive at 4" Ranjan said proudly

"walked at 7.5 months, learnt to play tennis at 4" "Sab mein aagey hai" Ranjan said

II smiled "He speeds" she said

Ranjan: Jawaan hai he should be adventurous, live on the edge... Punjabis by nature are like that puttar, Iyers are cautious (happy)

II: Some Iyers are reckless Dad (somber)

R&B:We dont know any... do we? (he looked at his Dad with a half smile)

The two men would tell themselves they both were in the kitchen because II was in the kitchen... unawares she was bringing and keeping both in the room for more than five minutes the last month or so

R&B may never absolve Ranjan of the crime he is supposed to have committed, but in carrying on a civil conversation with him, he would have atleast taught himself to put his hatred on hold while talking to the man that brought him into this world

Skeptic Septic
"I dont think thats true" he muttered, turning reluctantly to face her

"Santram asked me if I knew if my friends took it, iska kya matlab hai?" she asked agonized

"I bet they didnt take it I bet its somewhere around" he said calmly

"she suspected my friends stole it? or the girls from the parlor?" II sat on the step

"You need to get up II" he said

"To jao na yaar aap oopar I am not going" she said extremely uneasy "can I call her?" she looked up at him

"I am sure Santram will find it II, lets go" he persuaded

"They all came in between 3 and 4 PM, I know two girls really well, the the ones that came together,
u know cant even recall their names I dont know those girls, they both work there I know, at the Mohan Singh Market parlor, I dont go to their Munirka one" II racked her brains

"I thought Manya's room is locked!!!" she continued

"Can we please discuss this upstairs?"

"No we may not Ive been accused of stealing or someone that visited me on MY invitation" II was teary eyed

He sat down by her... "I am going to go down and ask him to look everywhere" he turned her face toward him "Its a fricking laptop II it costs 2 or 3 grand" he reassured

"thats like Rs.2 lakhs" II was stunned ... "Its probably high end, Apple tha na?" she looked at him finally, her eyes were red

"I dont know, I rarely go down to the first floor" he admitted

"I DONT EITHER I never go, I dont even know how many rooms the house has" she cried softly

She wore a brick red saree, a printed silk of some sort her hair adorned with flowers,
she looked gorgeous, he thought, hair neatly braided, with a larger red bindi and nose ring.

He was as usual dressed in cargos and a navy BR tee... his clothes like himself was nothing to talk about... ever

"I am telling you, its no big deal I am going to call Santram right now and we can get this over with"

"No no... No dont do that, she will think we dont trust her, he will think we are suspecting her" she cried

He got up "YOU KNOW WHAT I AM NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD DO THEN" he hissed

"I am going to go buy a new laptop and will you help me ship it to her?" II asked

"I will... NOT" he bit out every word

"So its OK for her to think I stole it?" she accused in a louder voice

"If you are going to be paranoid about it I am going up"

"You probably agree too then" she said

"Enough II" he said giving her one last blistering look

She sat on the steps and continued to play out the events of the afternoon and evening, she wondered if she should have checked the bags the girls brought, they were carrying LARGE tote bags
in which the yoga mat like massage beds were rolled in... they carried a bunch of supplies... and towels and such... she didnt even know when they left, she saw one leave.. no... two leave... she didnt notice the third one leave

40 minutes on the steps and no answers, she went up... he was in the balcony reading a book, TWIRLING HIS HAIR
He didnt look up...

"Ummm.. suno" she said

He didnt look up, she lingered by the curtain... "Suno" she said

He looked up "Umm... can I go search downstairs?"

She was afraid to go through the rooms now, it made him more furious

He just looked piercingly.. " Should I be finger printing you?" he asked softly, she could see his jaw clench

"You could if you want to, since something else may go missing" she said unfazed... hot breath escaping her nostril, as her face puffed in agitation and despair

He went back to his book after burning two mid size holes on her face...

~~~~~

She went down and went through room by room by room, inch by inch, she didnt even remember which rooms were used for massage vs waxing/facials etc...

He came down when she wa sin the second room, "II"

"Come here" he said hands his pocket...

"Nahi... wahin se kaho" she said, leaning on a window wearily and staring out...
the rooms were HUGE and tons of stuff everywhere, chest of drawers, books collectibles, drawers, closets, annexes

"I called and left a message" he said

"WHAT DID U SAY?" she asked startled...

"she needs to call me back"

"I WANTED TO TALK. She will now think I MADE you call" II didnt know how to address such sticky topics,
she had never been married before, never been accused of stealing, never had a SIL that lived overseas.

"Its OK... you can talk when she returns my call" he was mighty irritated

"Ofcourse I can then she will believe me. Using the husband to get out of punishment" II lamented

"I dont think ANYBODY thinks ... ummm... I think you need to calm down (he couldnt even bring himself to SAY it)

II opened a chest of drawer and leaned groaning "there is just SO MUCH stuff here" she began to cry

"You DONT have to search for it I TOLD YOU THAT A MILLION TIMES" he raised his voice
"Like the laptop will voluntarily walk into my hands when I summon it" she shot back

"If you quit being snarky, we can surely forget about it" he said mockingly

"The next time someone accuses you of burglary you should try meditation will surely inspire me" II said irritably
"Oh wait, THAT will never happen because Mr Raman Bhalla is one of the wealthiest in India"

"thats a cheap shot II" he said searingly

"I am sorry I will apologize... I bet one of my friends stole it" she said choking, walking over to the window

Sleep Aid & Sneak Off

They fought over, feeding the baby, holding the baby, changing her after spit up, and after dinner, II sat in the 2nd floor swing READING to her, ermm.. no books,
just off his ipad, like a stinker that he was, he demanded she either return his ipad
or give him the baby, she cut a deal "How about I hold the baby and YOU read to her?"

"I like the other way" he said

"Please da" she begged

He stared a slow smile forming on his lips... a meaningful smile, he teased the two girls with his fingers laying back on the swing, gently swaying it with his heel

"OK FIINNEEE... Poruma... TWICE... why do u care I have a job to go to at 7 AM, when ever we go to bed and you can wake me up in the morning"

She held the tyke in her arms and watched her go to sleep, wrapped in her pink throw, he offered his blue

"No Mama enakku Mami oda pink daan venum (I only want Mami's pink stuff) "thats right love, you tell him, hes outta control

The smug bas***d that he was, got what he wanted, his wife, the baby he so loved, and a promise of "twice" tonight
He was a happy camper...

"U think if we dont answer the phone, Sam will go away" she plotted

""Or come up and pick her up and return" he said

II pressed her to her bosom "I cant believe she even let us have her for 4 hours"

The plump baby, held II's pink blouse as she slept her lashes curling and folding.. like any baby her age, she took short quick breaths...
"U think she is breathing OK" II lifted her and placed her ear on her ribs

"Kelu da, its quick gasps" she offered worried, he bent over and smiled "she is... it sounds short and steady. If she was congested it would be raspy" he said

"HOW do you know she whispered arguing

"This is what I do, I break into people's homes and listen" he chuckled

She kicked him with her foot, he grabbed it and slid her anklets up and down and up and down... with his big toe...

"No!! not until she goes home" II warned, sitting up to move away

He pulled her, arm around her waist... she landed on him... and they lay there... quietly...
she gently let him hold Lasya, he took her softly, He heard a long steady breathing, and short steady one... he plugged one ear with his ear phone, wrapped his wife with a blue blanket
And , picked up his non fiction and began to read...

Tan walked up

"Duty achhi nibha raha hai" he chuckled

"hey dude" R&B said

"Dad's awake wandering the lawn" Tan said worried

"Oh?" R&B asked shocked

"Is he OK?" tan asked

LIKE HE WOULD KNOW

"I guess... we ate together" R&B said

"something's bothering him" Tan said

"About time" R&B said softly

"No I know what you mean yaar... give it a rest... ask him..."

"Did u" R&B asked

"U know what he tells me all the time" "I am fine puttar, jao, dono shaayad so gaye hongey, woh balcony mein padh raha hai shaayad" light jala rakhi hai"

II stirred and woke... embarrassed "I am so so sorry"

"Sleeping on the job? I might have to take ur license away" Tan chuckled

R&B held her tight as she attempted to move away, their hands fought under the blanket, she let him, and he calmed down

"Jaakar pooch" Tan ordered

R&B grunted

"Kya hua?" II asked in a sleep drugged voice

"Oh! something about work" Tan smiled "Dad is insanely busy he said" Tan fished for info from II

"Dad didnt eat good wonder whats bothering him" Ii spoke about her father in law since Tan started to

"Oh! Kya kaha?"

"Cousins were going to start?" I dont know" II backed off quickly

"Right" Tan said casually

"Chal dude I am off" " Ihave a call with the client at 6 AM, 12 to yahi baj gaye" he yawned

Ii stood up... R&B stretched

"UTHO" she ordered
He put his book back reluctantly

"Balcony ka darwaza lock hota hai ek combination hai, Sam knows, talk to her and change it" Tan conspired

II smiled sleepily "IKR"
He followed his wife, she walked to the bedroom, the men walked down, she ran back and kissed the lil angel, leaving a lipstick stain
"Ive marked u, u are mine" she said softly

She went back to bed, after changing, andw ashing up

He walked Tan to his car, as Tan waved to his father in law
watched them drive off like he usually did when someone special left home, and wandered to the front lawn

"Is everything OK?" he asked Ranjan

Ranjan froze and turned around checking every direction wondering WHO his son was talking to, his shoulders slumped as he realized he must be on the phone

Not until R&B walked up to him and repeated the question

"Uhh... ummm..CCCouldnt be better puttarji, Changa.." he said fumbling to find words in English/punjabi/Hindi

"Ishita so gayi?" he asked

"Ummm I think" he said

"Chhoti bhi?" hoping to play "2 million questions" with his son

R&B nodded... paused and turned away

Ranjan followed his son... step for step.. and watched him go up the stairs until he reached the 2nd...

He would go washu up and wake his wife up, so she could pay up, her side of the bargain.
Manya would call when her brother would be asleep...

Ranjan would go lay down and forget to turn out the light and sleep within moments without a sleep aid

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday April 13th dawned sunny and 40C or so it felt like, to II,
she flew from floor to floor room to room, getting out of the house at 8 ish and get to work at 9 ish, "woken up at 6"

"God forbid if anyone ever owed you anything" she hissed cattily

"I pray for them too" he mocked, pulling the covers down to look at her.
Manya's call again missed in the morning as R&B got "paid".

Amma called to let her know Akka's BP was fine on her way to work,
she had called Akka twice yesterday in the evening, both times Athim said "She was resting" which only menat one thing

"it was worrisome"

Ashwini and her had their formal meeting with Bally in his new role, they both had a bunch of suggestions for how to get past the workshop hurdles.

She COMPLETELY forgot about the laptop, she wondered if it wa sin the car she was given a ride this morning, she went down to the parking garage, it was a different car, so that one still stood at home?

She called home, asked for Mahavir, and explained it needed gotten out of the trunk, she called DHL and asked them to pick it up from MM

The earliest it could reach was Thursday she was told, including Shipping & handling the laptop had costed her over Rs. 2 lakhs, she charged ot on her Visa for now

Amma Appa's car was going to be delivered tonight, the showroom was closing for Baisakhi tomorrow, she needed another Rs. 1 lakh or so for road tax insurance and first instalment

Texted Amma to see if Appa can get to the showroom directly. She wanted him to drive it home. Amma thought they should take it to Malai Mandir

"I am going to with Appa to Malai Mandir can u go?" she texted

"sorry cant... have a meeting" he texted

"Will u promise u wont cheat on me and sneak off and go be with Lasya" she texted

He sent back a half smile...

The picture of life

He moved the bunch of papers that lay by him, threw it on the coffee table as she quickly grabbed his coffee so he doesnt fling the papers on it,
he appeared like he was exercising supreme self control
hoping she would sit BY him, she left the middle seat alone and sat in the corner...

"why are you so busy?" she asked

There was a lot of papers with Hindi on it she noticed...

He did a thumb gesture to indicate "Ranjan's work"

"For the Delhi showrooms?"

He shook his head

"Where?"

He just stared... she handed him his chai

"Tum busy ho to main jaati hoon" she turned to get up
"II" he interrupted softly

"Dad's upset too, that there is too much work. hes been at the office all day I think" she passed on data from downstairs

"I gave him chai only, he said he wanted mithai and namkeen, tumhe bhi laoon?" she asked

He shook his head

"Everyone's working I am the star "goofer-offer" "I should too after I fix dinner" she said

"Do u want to go for a walk?" he asked

"Phir se?" "Sam ke ghar? Lasya ko laane?" she perked up

"U would live there wouldnt you?" he said silkily scanning her between partially shut eyes

"I would if u werent in town, if u are in town then I never get Lasya, I might just be with you" she said

"Ouch!!" he said

"Maybe she should just live with us during weekends, we can give her back Sunday night?" she asked earnestly

He nodded as if he agreed

"She would sleep by me" she declared..

"So u give up on Nandu?" he taunted

"NO!!! Mujhe pata tha the moment I look away you will steal one or the other kids... tumhare liye ek bhi nahi , sab mere liye" she said

"she would claim other people's kids but not claim what was hers.." he wondered what such an affliction was called

"Do u think about the kids across the block, the 4 pajama clad cuties?" she asked about Paris

He smiled

"They were like measuring cups werent they? 16 ounces, 8 ounce, 4 ounce two ounce" she cracked herself up

"I loved the smell of the apartment, some rich deep scent" she nodded

He gently scooted to the center... his hand going over her belly, after he took the cup from her hand and set it on the coffee table..

"Selvi gave me a bunch of chooras" she said blushing gloriously

"she found them under the bed... maine kaha tha tumse dont take them off I never remember to find them in the morning. She hid it in her pallu and handed it to me
"inda kannu onnoda valayal" (here my love, your bangles) (II laughed huskily as she mimicked Selvi)
"I was in the balcony, she said Amma Appa didnt know" "Thank God" she clamped her hand over her mouth

He thought she looked beautiful when she was embarrassed... shy and petite, not the confident combative brat...
she aroused him anyway... everyway... he could listen to her talk all day

"Once was too many in my parents house, but at Sunday 11 AM? All Ive done at 11 AM is dry laundry,
and take Periappa and Appa's veshti to the terrace to dry, and checked on Amma's papads and achar (giggling)
Making love never featured on THAT list" she gasped, breathlessly.

"What about 7 PM on your Malcha Marg list?" he groaned aroused, JUST by her words alone

His hand under her cami...

"U speak great Hindi, u should help me figure some of this stuff out" he said punishingly on her chest

"Be ur translator?"

He grunted...

They heard a knock on the lounge door...

He let her go reluctantly, she picked up her chai... he went to check who it was

"Its for you" he said

Minion "main bana loon khaana?"

"Nahi, main banoongi... nahi mera matlab, main aati hoon" suddenly wary of offending anybody

He smiled picked up R&B's chai cup and a beer bottle from the desk, empty water bottles from the floor

She got up and walked away...

"Will u pay me per word or per page?" she asked as she walked away

"Neither" he said...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She chopped and diced, amidst cooker whistles and scent of cilantro... she dialed Sam's number

"Kya chal raha hai?" she asked

"Arey wah, bhai ko meri yaad nahi aati uski wife?" Sam chuckled

"Mujhe actually Lasya yaad aayi" II giggled

"I shud just hang up then or hand the phone to her" devilishly

"Kya pehna hai usne"

Sam rolled on the floor, "U sound like her boyfriend, 16 years from now"

"Sam batayiye na" II groaned

"Well she is wearing white frilly shorts and a polka dot blouse with puffed sleeves"

"How is her hair" II asked

"All gathered up on top, she itches her face a lot like R&B used to if the curls dip on it" she chuckled

"Do they have the same amount?" II asked gently sleuthing

"No baba your hottie has way more, I remember Ma used to sit down with him on the FLOOR in the back patio, it didnt have such
fancy furniture then, well we did I am lying but it was 70s style wrought iron... she would sit down on the
floor, not even a dhurrie, seat him between her legs, hand him a walkman or some such fat electronic toy and massage oil into that
rain forest like hair, and TIE IT UP like a Surd kid... UNTIL MUNDAN she would do that every evening... Manny is only a 1.5 older, than him she would have short boy like hair tera hottie would have hair long enough to be braided" Sam gushed

"He didnt like a hair cut even then?" she giggled

"Excuse me, but a 7 month old cant talk, but we didnt let him get a mundan, Chachu's kids and I demanded to see how long it would grow..." Sam giggled

He was fatter than Lasya and had more hair... R&B has his library on the second, the exact same room on the ground floor, I know the layout is different on each floor but the door by the twin Master bedroom doors
is parents' book collection, Ma has atleast 100 albums in there, we havent taken one picture sinec she went...
Ma had every breath of R&B recorded, Polaroid, color film black and white, Dad would joke by the time they turn 70 there would be no room for them, it would all be taken up by pictures, after R&B has kids , Ma would have been uncontrollable.😳 (Ii blushed at the thought of being an unwitting participant in those pictures, of carrying his babies and holding his cherubs)
Every other evening a guy from Malcha Marg market would drop by a stack of pictures" "Some are even chewed on the edges, tere hottie ka DNA hai" Sam went totally quiet😭

"Home videos and stills and baby books... Ma was obsessed, Manny is right hamey Ma ne itna pyar nahi diya jitna tumhare hottie ko" Sam was very happy

"Thats why he is so demanding" she asked softly

"Oh! ho!! So u know now" Sam teased

"He doesnt take no for an answer" II said

"Yep, Ma coached him to be that way. maango to milega types. Usko maangne nahi deti thi kabhi, she would inundate him with love" "Men are by nature needy, but he is needier than most" Sam said

"Umm.. I" II stopped

"Hes not cute OK, hes a devil, dont conjure up a teddy bear like image now" Sam warned

"Oh! No... I wont... I know" II said defensively

Sam laughed hard

"Lasya ko bhejengi aap please?" Ii begged

"Mujhe kya dogi?" Sam asked

"Raat ka khaana" II offered

"Thats too title, I will take everything from you" she said firmly

Like brother like sister...
II quivered... "Hmmm"

"Sam?"

"Hmm... aap mujhe Manny ka address text kar dengi kya?" she asked

"Absolutely not, only I will be your fave, cant allow her to be" she laughed

"I promise I wont change alliegance" II declared

She heard a series of pings... "done"

"thanks" Ii said

"why do u need it?" Sam asked

"Bus yoon hi" II the LIAR did her job

Saw it or took it?

Manya called around 8 AM Tuesday April 14th, he wasnt used to sleeping so much, he was almost awake then, she forced him to go to bed when she did
"I cant sleep without you" she told him bluntly, after making love

If she wasnt knocked out she mumbled and complained..., rubbing her face all over his tee

If he wore his tee it worried her, she wore hers too, so she can go chasing after him on the swing

"Can I rejoice?" he chuckled cuddling her (you say you cant sleep without me)

"No... you may not" "But you may be my cuddle toy, body pillow, overstuffed teddy bear, hot water human bottle" she listed
Pressing herself fully on him, inhaling his tee... "I cant believe I love male scents more" she chuckled muffled on his chest.

"There was so much traffic at the border today. Were you here or did u come in?" kissing his open vee

"I came in at 10 and left at 2 i had to meet someone in GK for a meeting"

She lifted her face and kissed his chin... "Did u know u have the densest beard in the planet?"

"How many beards have you kissed?" he asked blandly

"Ummm a dozen," she muttered
He rocked with her on the bed, like a bed dance

"i am going to keep my choora on for 6 months" she giggled

"Dont complain if u are left with a handful after 6"
She punched his back, as he chuckled

"I want to have kulche chholey at the border, kal khaayen kya?"

He laughed... "at the border?"
"There is a thela guy Hari Shankar or something, he is quite the celebrity I hear"
He nodded half asleep

"toongade da" she begged
She leaned on her elbow and looked down at his almost asleep face, and kissed his cheek soundly, placed her cheek on his and lay there and lay by him, and then pulled the covers

And then leaned over sipped some water, and then leaned over and shut out the light, and then leaned over and grabbed the AC remote

He had to grab, arrest her and lay on her to shut her up with a "shhh"...
and then she slowly relaxed under him, letting him bury his face in her neck shoulder region

"Dont go da" she begged softly

"I wont" he agreed softly smiling, his chin on her head

He went down and got himself coffee after brushing his teeth, and then called Manya

"Hey Dude, ASLEEP kya? At EIGHT?" she asked shocked

"umm ya, went to bed at 1 ish"

ONE-ISH? and u slept until EIGHT?" she was further shocked

"IKR!" he chuckled😳

"kitna sota hai aajkal?"😕

"6? 8?" hours?" smug😳

OMG!!"😲

"How is everything?" she asked

"the same"😆

"I called you twice yesterday" "Talk in full sentences kabhi to" You jerk"😡

"sorry was I asleep both times" he laughed

"What happened?"

"Umm whats with ur Mac book?" he asked directly

"I asked Santram to find it he cant, tujhe mila kya?"

"NO!!" baffled

"The help has looked everywhere, it has a bunch of articles I wanted to quote I wanted it shipped this week" Manya was agitated

"Have u heard of the word back up?" he asked

"Funny" she sniggered "IF I had the USB drive would I call?" angry

"I dont think its here" he said flatly

"AREY it was in the peach, yellow room or what it is? he checked there, Vik was in there so obviously I stayed there with him. Now its lost"

"Oh!"

"Did she see anything?" Manya asked

"Who?" R&B asked patiently

"the love of your life aur kaun hai us ghar mein ab she?" bitter

"about what?" he asked

"THE MAC BOOK R&B Wjats wrong with you, decaf hai kya aaj espresso" frsutrated

"Is she supposed to know?"

"Santram said bhabhiji ki friends aayi thi" "So I am assuming some one saw it" Manya said derisively

"Saw it or took it?" he asked

Decree & Dashed hopes

"I heard she had friends over dimpal!!" Manny sneered to somehow get to him.

"The help now believe someone took it" he said blandly

"Umm... I asked Santram to look for it in Vik's room, he couldnt find it, I asked
"Did anyone use the room, was someone staying over?" Manny mumbled "U know koi aaya tha kya?"
"He said woh bhabhiji ke friends aur kuch parlor waale madam" "You tell me if I am over reacting" Manny sounded agitated

"Its not here Manny" he said calmly "U need to ask Vik"

"Like I DIDNT?" "HE LIVES WITH ME. We are not married but he lives with me" Manny was hinting at stuff that was quite unnecessary

"That was uncalled for" he said coldly

"I am not saying Ishita took it dimpal, all I am saying is its gone and someone took it" Manny tried to be "reasonable"

He was losing patience "I can ask the help to look again" he offered reasonably

"Can you ask Ishita to check with her friends please?" Maany ACTUALLY SAID IT

"U mean call them up and ask if they happened to steal a macbook from Chankyapuri?" he asked unemotionally

"Not steal... u know ... umm... uh...borrowed to check email" Manny backed off a little

"Checked email and stuffed it in her purse?" he asked to confirm, jeering

"R&B, i need that goddamn laptop I need it now, it was at home yaar, now its gone... u dont want the help to check with her, you wont check with her, I dont know why?"

"Would you mind if I asked Vik if he borrowed my Rolex while he was here?" R&B asked amused

Manny hung up...
He was unperturbed, he was used to Manny behaving this way, for her it was always
her way or the frewway, she could get away with saying anything. When he dated Marliese there were many such incidents
Whether it was her way of shielding him from pain later by making him "aware" of how things were right now... only she knew
Her brand of protection always came with brutal prescriptions. He never took more than one dose. Didnt care for it.
He didnt usually discuss this with Sam either...

He didnt lead his life according to anyone's decree, he listened to Ma... and she disappeared one afternoon, Pooof!!!! completely from his life

He went in to take a shower, he had to go to Spectrum first and then had calls with William and Sukrit in the afternoon, IF he could take it

He walked into the bedroom she lay face down, asleep... he lay down by her and began to bother her,
kissed her ear, her nose ring, he hadnt shaved in three days, he gently unbraided her hair... she opened her eyes

"Neeyum toongade yaarayum toonga vidaade da" (u dont sleep, dont let anyone else sleep either) she scolded, it came out all muffled in a sleep drugged voice
He pushed her on to her back and slid over, caressing her waist, letting his fingers sneak up under her tee...

"What time is it?" she asked dodging his lips

"Baisakhi and the day off" he said rolling her tee over her torso...

She tried to push him off to check the bedside clock "Ayyo NINE?" "ARE U SURE? "IS IT NINE?"
She kicked him

"Not now da" "Please" "ITS NINE" "AYYO" "Its NINE"she moaned...

"And then it will be 10" he muttered amused... yanking her tee off completely

~~~~~~~~

Chachu's family was the last to arrive after 2 PM, he stood in the balcony with Bala and Mihir, and Tan it was almost
like every person came in their own car, the kids were younger thank God they cant drive, between the 4 sons and the wannabe starlet there was 8 cars parked outside
It was Ranjan's idea to host something "big"at home for Baisakhi/Tamil New Year, his wife had wanted to invite her parents and Vandita... now it had ballooned to something big and noisy
Sam and II were in the kitchen, making traditional Punjabi vegetarian and Iyer food, the help were given the day off, he thought it was a bad idea

"I want to try it" II had claimed

She did the up down the stairs a million times already

"Come home da" she ordered

"Let Tan or Bala get there" he said, he had barely worked at Spectrum for an hour

"OK Fine when u call me home I am going to do the same" she warned
"There is nobody at work, the office is closed and you are sitting there by yourself"

He had to get up and return...

Ranjan wandered up with Lasya in his arm, "Mama" he pointed to his son and coached the tyke...
He turned and leaned on the balcony and smiled at her, she wore a hot yellow kurta and a hot pink salwar typical
Punjabi style, with a glittery scrap of a hot pink dupatta tied across her body on her left shoulder... her hair had something sparkly all over

She stretched her arms and gave him a gummy smile...

He stretched his and gave her big wide grin...

"Oye hoye" Tan said "Kya scene hai"

"Main pakdoon?" R&B asked Ranjan in Hindi

"Zaroor puttarji" he said walking towards his son
More about AGM and Chachi in flashback, after the laptop story blows over
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wednesday evening, was bad!! The day was bad too... but we can talk about it later
Sam waited in the lounge, no she did not bring Lasya.
Ranjan wasnt home, her husband must be upstairs because his car was outside

"Hey aap kab aaye" "I had a terrible day at work" II complained

She washed up downstairs and headed to the kitchen, for a 6 PM "sugar fix"... no her husband was not in the frig, she wanted some mithai
She got out a bunch of mithai from yesterday, and made chai "Aaj kaise, will you stay for dinner?" "Bache kidhar hai?"

"khaana khaane nahi aayi hoon" Sam was deeply troubled

"Kya hua?" II asked startled

"kya ho raha hai is ghar mein?" Sam was deeply distraught

Ii stopped what she was doing, he husband wandered down to grab a beer from the "beer frig"
He didnt look at her or greet her

"hey" she said

He didnt look at her, just uncapped the bottle, took a swig and turned away

"I am here to talk about Manny" Sam said between tears

"Her laptop was lost, I dont know who took it" II began to cry
"OMG!! SO YOU DID BUY HER A NEW ONE" Sam clamped her hand over her mouth... as if the sliver of doubt in her mind was all wiped out and was replaced entirely
with despair.
Ranjan returned from work, smiling cheerfully upon seeing Sam's car outside, found the two women crying in the kitchen

(In)divisible Siblings😭

"WHAT happened?" "Is Raman OK?" he asked

II nodded and continued to cry

Ranjan was extremely distressed, he didnt know WHO to comfort first, "BETA" he ordered to both

Sam didnt even look at him, II walked up to her , she pushed II's hand off f her shoulder

"Nahi nilkul nahi, koi baat nahi karo tum mujhse"

"Will someone tell me?" Ranjan demanded
"Dad, Ummm" II began

Kya hua BETA are ur parents OK? where is the gudiya?" Ranjan asked

"Shes at home, with the nanny" Sam mumbled crying

"Kaun beemar hai what happened is it a car wreck? ITS OK Ishita batao beta"
"Umm"

He hit the intercom, it rang upstairs "Can u come down beta?"

in crisis he had actually ordered his son to come down

R&B showed with the bottle of beer, flip flops, cotton draw string pants and a crushed cotton tee of some sort with a insignia on it, faded and worn

"ya?" he asked

"What is going on?" he asked

R&B shrugged

"Poochiye apni laadli se," Sam mocked

"what did she do?"
II began crying softly again...
R&B was FURIOUS to see tears, to see it blow up like this, he hated drama of any kind

The Bhallas had given enough fodder to the papparazzis 4 years ago, enough to last a lifetime

His wife hadnt touched anything she had brought out of the frig... it sat there, she poured tea into the cups and handed to Sam and her father in law

"tumhe doon?" she asked

he had a DONT YOU DARE MAKE CONVERSATION WITH ME look
Ranjan: ishar aao beta. Did someone say something to you? ISNE kuch kaha? (giving R&B a angry glare)

II shook her head sending her jhumkas in a tizzy

"Phir KAUN puttar?" Ranjan begged

"U know what she did? She bought a Mac book pro and shipped it to Manny" she glared at her sis in law as she did that

Ranjan was stunned... "WHY?'

"NOBODY TELLS ME ANYTHING ANY MORE, the brother is speech impaired, sister tells me after shit hits the fan, there is NO MOTHER (Sam cried openly)
and sister in law is a reckless BRAT" sam was angry

II sat down on the kitchen dining chair, wiping tears away

"Kal naya saal shuru hua hai, and the women of the house are sobbing. Hey wahe guru yeh tussi kee kar ditta" Ranjan was pained

"I would look at other siblings and pat myself on the back, WE would NEVER be like that" Sam sobbed she thought about Dad and
Chachu, Chachu had stole millions from his older brother, and Ranjan had not said a word in 30 years... a mere stolen
laptop had torn open the emotional void between Ranjan's children??

"I am sorry...mujhe laga"

Ranjan walked over to her, handed water, "Sambhalo apni biwi ko" he turned to R&B and ordered went to his daughter

He blew air kisses to his daughter "Na na puttar, na" he cajoled her

R&B walked towards his wife "She said it was lost so I bought it" she offered defense

He wanted to butcher her privately, so he didnt have anything to say now

"we are afterall JUST like every body else" "there is no love" Sam was so devastated at that discovery she cried uncontrollably

"No no! Shhh shhh! No you are not, you guys are the closest kids I have ever witnessed"

"Manny accuses my brother's wife of misplacing her stuff, and she buys it for her and ships it secretly, we dont have an open relationship Dad" Sam argued

"Nahi puttar dont say that, Ishita is the best thing" Ranjan said

"You can say that after what I just told you?" Sam asked accusingly

Ranjan walked over to II "Beta yeh kya kar diya?" he shook his head

"She lost hers, she I mean I thought (II quickly covered up, not placing any blame on Manny) since it was lost after the visit for my party" "Its the right thing to do Dad"

"RIGHT and WRONG in a family puttar?" he asked shocked

II was ashamed "Umm... I wasnt.. i know I wasnt trying to prove anything"

Sam walked over and stood by II
Her husband leaned on the wall by her one foot up... "Keh usko kuch" Sam ordered

THANKS SAM!!!
HE WILL KILL ME TONITE
COME BY FOR RING SIDE SEATS AT 7 PM
2ND FLOOR, C110 MALCHA MARG

"Did u talk with her?" Sam demanded

"I did" he muttered

Ii turned to him "Kya kaha"

"She needed some articles she had in there" he said flatly

"DID U TELL HER YOUR WIFE HAD SENT HER A NEW ONE?" Sam asked

Ranjan paced the kitchen... troubled... unable to understand how things can break down so much so fast

"I didnt know" he said throwing his wife under the bus

"You didnt tell HIM?" sam asked

II shook her head burying her face in her hands... "i felt bad her thing was lost so I just bought a new one" she sobbed

Ranjan dialed Manny it went to voice mail

"SO gayi hogi" Sam cursed

"Manny ne call kiya beta aapko?" he asked Sam

she nodded weakly "she said Ishita sent me a laptop, NOT SURE WHY"

Ii was stunned...

She realized Manny and her would not be best friends any time soon

"i had no idea iska kaarnama hai" Sam said poking her with a finger

"Bahut galat ho gaya" Ranjan grieved

He came to her... "Aage se koi bhi, YEH BHI, aapko kuch kahe aap mere paas aaogey" (you will come to me) Got it?

"Its not her fault, she lost a laptop its expensive" II began

Ranjan and Sam exchanged a look of "Is SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER? SERIOUSLY?"
R&B straightened from the wall and walked towards the back patio, disgusted

A 2 lakh rupee laptop was pocket change for the Bhallas, it broke II's already fragile finances but for them it was like a bag of cookies

"ask her to send it back aur isko deejiye" she ordered her Dad

Ranjan... "I dont understand you puttar" he said looking at II deeply

"Mujhe laga woh mujhse gussa hain" II said choking

"are u afraid of her?" Sam asked shocked

"Umm... ya... no.. mera matlab... nahi... umm.. u know" II did one of the things that drive her husband mad, since Sam wasnt used to it she pulled her hair
"Are U afraid of her Ishita?" she asked patiently

"Umm.." II mumbled

"Usne kuch KAHA kya kabhi isko?" she asked R&B

He was drilling holes into her head... "I spoke to Manny, she didnt"

"IS BAAT par nahi, PEHLE. Have they had any run ins?" sam begged sitting down by II

"I dont think so" he said JUST LIKE A MAN!! ARGHHH
"I dont know" "I mean" he finished

"Tu baat nahi karta. iska khyaal nahi rakhta. they will think we make the bahu pay for losses?
what will we tell the Iyers? Hum unki beti ko aise treat kar rahe hain?" Sam said in a "she belongs to them" tone
She was extremely dejected

"She is my wife" (SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IYERS... ERMMM... EXCEPT FOR THAT LAST NAME;
THE GORGEOUS SMOKING HOT LOOKS; THAT CARNATIC SINGING SHE DOES...THE GODDAMN CHIP ON THE SHOULDER AND THE f**kING PRIDE,
SHE IS ALL MINE, EVERY homicidal reckless inch of her belongs to ME)

"a wife thats afraid of your sister, or afraid of something, or questions her self worth" "I dont know" Sam bent her head rested on the table

"I just wanted to make things better" II gently soothed sam's hair

Sam immediately pushed her hand away "Dont touch me Ishita, tumne mujhe aaj bahut naraaz kiya hai" she cried, II looked at Ranjan with pleading eyes

Ranjan: she is upset puttar (defending Sam), she wants you to be happy... khushi aur is ghar ka waasta khatam hai shaayad (choking)

II got up and went up, crying...

Her husband followed promptly to slaughter her

Ranjan sat in the chair where Ii was sitting moments ago, and father and daughter would begin to wonder where things went wrong
