8:14 PM.
She waved to her friends screaming an expletive in French. One guy inside the car responded back generously so..... Her neighbor and his wife taking a walk paused and stared. She enthusiastically greeted them knowing that they may be gossping about her.
Her friends threw her scarf out the window......... the music balred as they reversed out of the cramped drive way between two rows of buildings.....
Her Dad stood in one of the side balconies of the apartment speaking with Mr Sethi downstairs, seeing his daughter cause a huge drama, shook his head in tired exasperation.
"Hi! Papa!" she hollered beginning to narrate one of the many experiences of the evening.
"He waved back and walked around the periphery of the balcony to keep up with her ........ listening....
Gopi opened the door, she headed straight to the balcony talking non stop...
"Ma kahan hai she asked" when she paused for breath.
"Andar Ritu se baar kar rahi hai"
"So she likes him now?" she giggled
Dad smacked her fondly.
"Bhai nahi aaya? she enquired next, helping herself to the snacks on the coffee table....
"Gande haath beta" he informs her.
She wipes on a paper towel "Not any more Papa" she smiles smugly.
Her Mom walks out to the living room, while on the phone "Aaa gayi" "Aaate hi uska drama shuru" she listens, as radhika admires her Mom's saree.... walks up to feel it  she slaps it off... "Gande haath"
Radhika grins.... her Mom stares at her blouse it has some graphic symbols of death and destruction.... not to mention it being too figure hugging exposing her midriff....
She yanks at the edge....
Papa: Beta you need to be careful (worried)
Radhika: I am.... maine aapko kaha to tha, aaj hum saara din Aswin ke ghar par the.... I didnt even get to flaunt my tee. Waise did you know uske ghar ke paas ke Metro se Rajiv Chowk tak it only takes 14 minutes"
Her Mom hangs up.... "Radhu jaakar nahao" "Yeh kapde to bilkul nahi"
"Kaun AA raha hai Ma? Bhai? He has seen me in my night clothes"
"He is bringing a friend along" her Mom looks away straightening things on an end table " FriendS I should say" Radhika is curious at her Mom being so evasive.
"Aapne phone kiya usko?" she enquires her husband............
He dials his son's number
"Radhu, go take a shower and wear clean clothes"
"Chakkar kya hai Ma?"
"Koi chakkar nahi, bus guests aa rahe hain"
Her phone rings, and beeps, she texts and looks distracted, and barely cateches her Papa's conversation with her Bhai, until he says "Tumne kaha na tall hai, to theek hai, mere boss ka ladka 6.4 inch ka hai, itna tall to chahiye nahi hame. Itna lamba theek bhi nahi lagega iske saath"
Radhika drops a cheese puff she grabbed....
"DEKHNE?" she asks her Mom
"Just his friends"
"I have to marry Bhai's friend?"
Sushil watches the drama spellbound
"I have a boyfriend MA"
Her parents are in shock
"Papa HE IS 6.4" Radhika walks into her room and slams the door, leaving her parents in shock
