Sudha: I am thinking about it!
She walks away, the reference book she is golding must be atleast 500 pages. Radhika slowly sits up in bed. Looks at her room, its cluttered and messy, more messy now, since she was trying to find a journal article last nite. Her iPad and iPod lay on top of the paper heap on the rug, half her blanket had slid off the bed. She wore a purple stripe jammies and a mauve skinny tee, her hair was a few inches below her shoulders, a curling mass.
She was taller and skinnier than most girls her age, light skinned, with pointy high cheekbones and arched eyebrows. The eyebrows pleaded for attention from time to time, the girl they lived on didnt worry much about appearances unfortunately.
Her Mom peeked in "15 minutes Radhika"
"Aap mujhe Malviya Nagar chhod deejiye main DU apne aap chali jaaoongi" (pleads loudly)
Ritwik "Shut UPPPPPP"
Mom hisses "If you whine louder, I am not responsible Radhika"
R: Is he the ONLY guy that studies overseas? (disgusted)
M:I am not going to argue, I am half way done getting ready for my class
R:Get the idiot married like Rachit Bhayya, he can go live in Safdarjung or some place, outta THIS house
Ritwik: I heard that you twit!
Radhika: GOOD!
She meanders lazily across the room, trying to find something, a cooker whistle goes off at a distance
Ritwik groans
Sudha goes back to the study, to make her notes, she is the head of the math faculty at Gargi.
Sudha: Radhikaaaaaaaaa
Radhika: Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Sudha: Get here right now
Radhika stomps into the study
Sudha: Did you pick up your car from the service station?
Radhika: Nahi
Sudha: He is going to sell it I am telling you
Radhika: I can buy a new one
Sudha: Thats sheer arrogance (offended)
Ritwik pulls her hair "BRAT!" he says dismissively, satisfied at the sharp yelp of pain coming out of his sister
Loved the siblings' fighting as it seems happen in almost every household. So sudha is a Math faculty at Gargi. Radhika is a journo? Ritwik lives aboroad and is getting all the attention from mom and everyone. It can be seen here and there too. Too much indulgence for abroad living kids. Can't wait for hero's entry. Wondering when Radhs day started with a bad note, if her day would be going to end with meeting with the hero :).
