Monday
Around midnite
Rec Room
Ambika chachi sat by Dadi, sifting through an old fashioned
photo album, Amogh tried to climb up on to her lap.
Dadi:Yeh vekh tera miya
Ambika grinned…”Achha apki Gujarati bahu kithe?”
Dadi was suddenly serious “Who jara apne maike gayi si”
“Shaan was saying she should be back tonite?”
“I think she may have missed her flight”
“Oh”
Ambika Chachi had brought her aunt and uncle andtheir
daughter they all lived in Belgium….. they were all heading to Pune in two days,
for a wedding in Ambika Chachi’s family…
the groom was Goan… so there was a lot of buzz….
Ujjwala was visiting… also.. but not her husband Anil
The house was full, food was being brought in huge trays and
was emptied in the speed it was being refilled
There was lots of liquor, and rowdy talking as well, the
Soods and Duggals from the 5th floor had joined the fun…
Shantanu Gujral was in the
midst of refilling his Dad’s drink, as he checked texts on his phone…
Ambika:Shaan I would like some of that cabernet please
Shaan was the bar tender…
Akshay placed a towel on his shoulder mockingly
“Mum aap chalo shaadi mein”
“Nope!” Sunil was firm
“Please bhaisahab”
“Her BP has been dangerously low the last 3 days”
“THAT’S caused by YOUR SECOND BORN”
“And his wife” Dadi muttered inaudibly
Akki and Khushboo are always gazing into each others’ eyes…
in dono ko dekho, 4 din saath to 40 din alag
Shaan returned his Chachi’s wine, and walked away talking on
the phone drinking his SOR.
“Dekh lo Ambi, he is a married bachelor” Madz whined
“Madhavi? TUM? U are talking like I AM SUPPOSED TO. Shame on
you”
Dadi admonished her
“Mom, she was supposed to return, abhi pata nahi kya chakkar
hai”
“Who apne ma key aha gayi hai puttar, let her be, he doesn’t
let her go waise”
Dadi defended Khanak feebly
“Sab theek hai wahan?” Ambika asked
“We think so” Sunil said politely
“Marrying out of your culture has its challenges, Ambi, she doesn’t
speak Punjabi, wont eat meat… is”
“Were u hoping to arrange the brat’s marriage?” Sunil asked
mockingly
“Umm… I mean… u know” Madz was evasive
“He pursued her like crazy” Sunil declared proudly
“Before she could say yes or no, he married her and flew off
to Boston with her” Dadi offered smugly…
“Who no kyon kehti” Madz questioned unkindly
“Your son is not saint Madhavi, he was arrogant and
conceited” Sunil said softly
“IS you mean?” Dadi asked softly………
Ambika noted her MIL’s worried look
“Dad your Accountant called Form 10 BB has returned with
errors from IT depptt he said” Shaan said carelessly
Sunil looked worried
“There is no shortage of crisis in this house”Dadi worried
“You need to relax MA” Sunil scolded her
“My arms are itching to hold a baby” Dadi looked at Shaan
pointedly
He, grabbed Amogh from Maria and handed him to his Dadi,
kicking and screaming……
Khushboo:SHAAN GUJRAL
Dadi:Not a baby BOY, a GIRL
Shaan:Bhabhi… get on the job!
Madz sucked her breath in in shock
Ambika:He is like me, he has no shame I LOVE IT
Khushboo:U MAKE A GIRL Shaan! (trying to calm the yelling
baby)
Ambika: Uski voti nu aa jaan de, phir kudi vi aa jaayegi
beeji
Shaan stared his Chachi…
“One more step Shantanu, I am going to push this down” she
would threaten, in the balcony holding his phone…
“Try it Mrs Gujral” he would coax
Just when she would attempt to flick it, he would pick both
up, her and his phone and head to bed…
“Shantanu” she would plead..
“I have a 6 O Clock at the site” he would tell her
Placing her on the bed… hovering over her…
“I have none I want to stay up” she would argue…
“Not tonite” he would end the convo…
"Mujhe bahut yaad aa rahi hai aapki” texted his wife………… to
Dadi…
He read it the moment Dadi’s phone glowed……….. Dadi read his
face…
