PART 44 Scoop of Life--- Hidden (?) Treasures

February 12th 2011
Saturday
Noon
Saket


Sudha: Utho beta!
Radz: Ughhhhhhhh.......... NAHI.... (muffled, speaking from inside her pillow)
Gopi and her Dad are walking in and out of the room, Gopi is picking up her clothes for washing, her Dad looking for his Natl Geographic magazine...
Sudha: Abhi aapke paas time hai yeh padhne ko?
Sushil: Dont i? (grinning)
Sudha: TEEN BAJE hamey pahunchna hai, Claridges.....
Sushil: Yeh uthkar tayyar hogi tab na jaayenge? Tumhe lekar chala gaya waha, aur unko TUM pasand aa gayi to?
Sudha: REALLY? NOW? (not amused)
They both approach her bed......
Raat ko hum 2 baje aaye hain, tabhi jagi hui thi. NOW she is asleep....... woh neeche 534 ka horn lekar aao aap, iske kaam ke paas honk kariye (irritated)
Gopi: Bhabiji yeh neela swaytar bhi jaayega masheen mein?
Sudha looking at it carelessly....... "Haan"
When Gopi is walking away " KAUN SA? Dikhao?" Sudha is organizing her daughter's closet...... most clothes are on the floor............ To the right of the wardrobe is a row of shelving.......... it contains, books, perfumes, mirror work jewelry boxes.......... her pictures from childhood........... hair trinkets costume jeewelry etc............ nestled in the middle, she finds what looks like a JAR OF NUTS!!
Sudha: Yeh? (asks herself)
Sushil reading  the mag in a rocking chair by the window........ "She is over 18, tum uske things se door raho zara"
Sudha carelessly puts it away, she knows pecans are her daughter's fave nuts........... but in the closet??
Hmmm...........
Sudha: Citi Bank mein woh kitne saal se hai?(preoccupied)
Sushil: 5? 6? Shaayad.......
Sudha: I want the guy to be a little older Sushil.......... she is really good in her work..... but she needs someone who is............ kaise kahoon?
Sushil: Shaitaan hai, maanta hoon, but u know.......... not  a discipline issue........
Radhika: Thanks Papa!
Sudha flings a dupatta on her form "Utho Radhuuuuuuu"
Sushil: Citibank waala tumse milne ke liye bahut excited hai......
She sits up in bed.......... sees her parents, one on each side of her bed........... "Aap dono MERE kamre mein ho?"
Sudha: Thats enough drama Radhu, UTHO!
Radhika looks at her Mom warily...... wonders if she saw the jar of nuts............
That reminded her of last nite........... early this morning, and her balcony...... they had stood there for a long time.......... chatting..........
She had been the one to end the "nightly rendezvous" with a "Tumhe ghar nahi jaana?"
"Soon....." he had said....
"Chai banaoon? Ya beer?"
"You brew your own beer at home?" he teased
And he watched her laugh............

  1. The morning scene in Radhika,s bedroom with her parents "one on each side of her bed" made me smile.

    and i was wondering about R-R's "chatting". was it like their usual style or did Raghav say a few more sentences?

    Hidden(?)Treasures is sounding very mysterious........kya hone waala hai........will be waiting,Aditee!!
