"Should I laugh or cry?"
"WHAT does he do for a living?" Sam asked troubled
"I want to know what his "proposal" is dude" Tan said
"Dont know, petrol pumps in the North East or North someplace" he said looking at Sam first and Tan later
"PETROL PUMP?" "Really?" Thats insane... they cost between 5-10 crores dont they?"
"Umm ya... Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell estimates Rs, 5 crore, its a Bharat Petroleum document so its all probably "white"" R&B chuckled
"Does Manny know"
"Abhi to kaha yaar..." Tan was irritated
He walked over to her and sat down by her on the swing
Lasya caught the tension and began to whimper,
"Shes too hot I am going in" R&B said holding her protectively
He sat on the couch... in the lounge... and picked up a unfinished crossword...
Tan entered followed by Sam, the kebabs were cold, he paged Mahavir "Aur laayenge aap?" "Ishita kahan hai?" he asked
"Neeche Akka se baat kar rahi hai"
"Bulaooon?" he asked eagerly
"Umm.. nahi... Vandita aa gayi, Bala bhi aaye?" Tan asked
Mahavir nodded, JOYOUS...
""Busy?" he texted his wife
"Kinda.. enna da venum?" she asked😳
"You" he sent back😳
"the top half is busy making supper, the bottom half is busy chasing Nandu, u can have the middle" she texted sending a sandwich filling 😆"Venuma?"
"Vendaam" he texted☺️
"CHOOO CHWEET, JUST for that I could come up and kiss you"😳
"Be waitin..." he texted before Lasya smacked his phone and it fell on the rug
Sam and Tan were whispering...
"Just when I think things are beginning to turn around" Sam muttered
"Dont get melodramatic jaan" Tan said
"I thought he was a good guy" Sam said
"U THINK CHACHU IS NOBLE" Tan sniggered
She smacked him
R&B just let Lasya play with his car keys, and II's silver bangles that lay on the end table
Lasya stuck it in her mouth widening it... drooling like a leaky shower head
"He talks nice, he said he went to Texas A&M" Sam said
"Ladki thodi de rahe hain" Tan laughed
"Ladki de chukey hain" Sam squirmed
"We went through this before... dont stick your morality into MANYA" Tan warned
"She can tell me who to forgive and why to forgive and who to hate?" Sam argued
"Isko pooch, what did she tell him?" Tan pointed to a quiet R&B
"she hates the fact that I forgave Dad... I HATE the fact that she sleeps around without a concern" Sam said
"Did u hate the fact that he did the same before he found Ishita?" Tan asked bluntly
Sam looked down at her neatly painted toes
"THIS IS NOT ABOUT HIM OR ME, Its about Manya" she spat at Tan
"Its HIS money, let him do what he wants" Tan said
" She paid through her nose for Rishabh (ex hubby)" Sam cried
"Sam calm down" Tan hissed
" Are u going to give her the money?" Sam asked him directly
"Give me a good argument, why I shouldnt, if he can present a good case?" R&B said
"He will con you" Sam warned
R&B had an increduclous expression...
"I am telling you, Manya doesnt know... Vik approached him during poker... its between the men"
"SHE MET HIM ON A PLANE... the one before Vik she met at an African Safari" San shrieked
Tan held his head
R&B stood up as Mahavir brought more kebabs..."Bala ko oopar bhej denge please?" R&B said
"dono lar rahe hain ghante se, isne kal raat ko suna, ab tak chup hai"
"He is waise bhi goonga... wonder what Ishita saw in him" Sam ranted
R&B chuckled...
"Bus ghoom phirke us par aa jao tum dono" Tan was frustrated
R&B looked startled "Whattt?" he asked
"Never mind" Tan sealed his lips
R&B looked at his sister, a guilty flush covered her face
He clenched his jaw...
Bala came up... making funny expressions at Lasya... she looked at R&B as if asking
"Ummm... this man is making strange eye movements and faces should I laugh or cry?"
