Outlaw Child
Tan: U called me as if someone was involved in car wreck
Sam: isne kya kiya poochho (hissing)
Tan: Dude?
Nandu cried softly
Sam: AB RO LO JITNA MARZI... No toys for three years
Tan:HUA KYA YAAR? (Whispereing)
They were in the sun room, she was nursing Lasya
Everytime she hissed Lasya stopped and gawked
Too much happening to bother to be fed
She kicked her feet furiously upon seeing her brother
Sam scolded her soundly "U LAY STILL"
she began to cry loudly
Tan: What did u do bata na hero"
Sam:He took his ipad to school BINA BATAYE AUR KHOKAR AAYA HAI
TAN: tujhe kaise pata? There are 18 rooms in the house did u check every drawer
Sam:Shut up... bache ke saamne meri besti mat karo
Tan:Uski class le rahi hai my parents are here kisi ne use karke chhod diya hoga
SAM: WOH KHUD KEH RAHA HAI TAN
Tan was startled
Lasya leapt up Sam starighetned her clothing and dumped her in Tan's arms...
she cooed at her Daddy "Mommy is being mean hold me or send me to Uncle R's"
She cuddled on his shoulder looking out at the fancy yard lighting
Tan: KAISE HUA?" (angry)
Nandu: I took it to play the Pokemon game with Shravu and its lost
Sam:HE IS COMPLETELY SPOILED... he will ruin that child now
tan squirmed
Tan: EVERY goddamn gadget u ask for I bring it for u... your Mom says no I bring it for you
Sam SCHOOL DOES NOT ALLOW GADGETS TAN... NOTHING not even a calculator
Nandu: U dont know anything! Calucaltor is allowed... u are always home only Daddy takes me everywhere
tan ALMOST smacked him "ONE MORE TIME IF I EVER HEAR U TALK TO YOUR MOM LIKE THAT. You will be out on the streets. Samajh aayi baat?"
Nandu nodded and began to cry
Tan: NO media no TV no playing outside, no swimming in the backyard pool... no Shravu for two months of summer
sam:tan please aise mat karo
Tan:Tujhe karna hai punish I will leave... Tomorrow if he is making a girl pregnant at 14 or inhaling cocaine at 12 DONT TALK TO ME
Sam sat back down
Lasya looked at him oddly, Tan and Sam never fought... ... they usually got along great... he argued over how little sex he gets but thats about it
Tan: Nandu listen the Nahars five doors down? THEIR GRANDSON is half dead in Max he took drugs at 9... he was careless disrespectful and plain arrogant
Nandu cried loudly
Sam: Tan please yaar (crying)
Tan: If u dont know how to take care of things DONT USE THEM.
The fact that it went out of the house without an adult approval tells me tomorrow uw ill do the same with a car
Nandu:I WONT DAD... I WONT I PROMISE (he begged)
Tan: I am sure u wont but stay indoors two months, no entertainment or eating out
Sam:Tan please yaar
Tan walked over to her wiped her tears "Aap pehle rona band karo"
Sam:Please jaan
Tan: I am sorry... first strike...
Sam Three strikes to do yaar
Tan:Do phir apni chaabi let him go.. Mihir has taught him how to drive
Sam: please yaar
Tan: ISKE bharose those people drop their son off can u imagine? Mr Iyer wont give us the time of the day... so principled and stoic
Sam: Churaakar nahi aaya KHOKAR aaya hai
Tan:HE LIED...
Tan:Did the duty in the play ground watch u use it?"
Nandu: No we were were in the corridor
Tan:the whole lunch hour?"
Nandu nodded
Tan's Mom came in
"Nandu kyon ro raha hai beta?"
Tan looked at Nandu warningly
"First day apni dairy bhool gaya school mein"
"AREY DONT BE SILLY... and u are yelling?"
Lasya looked at the old lady and looked away... as she tried to pry her from Tan's hold
"It has project... 5th grade is serious biz Mom"
"She is crying too... bete ko bol diya to bura laga hoga" she smirked
"Bacha hai Mom"
"Its good my son is teaching him discipline beta... otherwise he will grow up and misbehave... abhi kar le to achha hai" MIL took a pot shot
"Its about Nandu so lets please keep it that way" Tan warned his Mom
She glared at her son and left the sun room with a comment "I cleaned the fish...
your help is worthless beta... doing half the work? I mean the last I cleaned fish was when I had my youngest"
"thanks Mom" Sam said
"Dinner ready karo puttar" she ordered gently, dragging Nandu
"Nandu all the rules apply, and u know what to say
Tan walked over to her
"Give me a hug"
"U were so harsh" she hissed
He pulled her up and hugged her Lasya grinned...
"Matlab se kiya" "Dont tamper now" he warned
Bent down claimed a kiss
"Pakdo apni beti ko" he said giving his daughter a kiss on her slobbery cheek... she chewed on fist all day and her whole form was soaked in drool
She wore a lacy pink spaghetti strap frock and pink FAT beaded anklets
"Where did u get these?" he asked as his wife held the baby
" Malviya Nagar Mom ke saath " she said Lasya sucked her shoulder
"Dont worry about her (my Mom)" he said softly in her ear
"I only worry about you" she winked
"Raat ko bata kyon karti hai" he winked back

Malcha Marg
"Busy evening?" R&B asked her as she flipped through pages of his book lazily laying on his chest
She nodded wordlessly... She smelled like garam masala and methi to him... she smiled on her neck...
"have u cuddled a woman bathed in garam masala?" she asked
Since he had cuddled... many... she regretted asking that question... though it was in jest
"What did u make for dinner?" he asked
"Aloo methi, shimla mirch paneer, roti jeera rice, paati doesnt eat without dal so some dal for paatti" "Aur haan kal ke liye bhindi bhi kaat diya" "THERE IS SO MUCH FOOD"
"And u forgot to eat?" he probed gently
"Ya... Athim returned after 10:20 I think... he was still
AYYYO! STOP DONT SAY ANY MORE
"Hmm?""
"U know he was still busy I think... he ate very preoccupied"
Minion showed up with dinner and a ashamed look
She quickly straightened up and put some distance between him and her
"Woh aaj" he said
"Kya hua?"
"Hum log kha liye, Sir ne kaha aap khaakar lautengi hamey bataye nahi..." he was feeling terrible
"Koi baat nahi main sandwich bana loongi
"Santram aur Gopal to siraf bhaij khaate hain Sir ne kaha hum le jaaye khaana to hum apne quarters mein le aaye"
"Aap abhi kya laaye?" she asked curiously
R&B followed her
Minion had made a quick stirfry of veggies and noodles with Thai sauce, it looked delish
"Main yeh kha loongi" she smiled
Sat down beginning to scarf it down, it was steaming hot and flavorful... he also brought some tomato soup on the side
"Bahut hai khaana" she said smiling gently
"Ice cream laaye Sir" he pointed to R&B
"Oh? kiske liye?" she asked Minion
She found his toes on hers... "Rehne den aap apne poker ke liye laaye honge"
"Inko maine keh diya hai mujhe ice cream achhi nahi lagti" "Phir bhi laaye dekh lo aap"
Minion looked sad and confused
He left unable to please her
Her husbaned pulled her back and lay her down laying over her, claiming her lips
"U dont rest do u?" he asked (as soon as u return u have to cause trouble)
"No" she giggled
He kissed her many many times... "Khaoon?" she asked
"No" he said hating her kaftan, unable to feel her skin
"Let me eat kanna" she begged
He yanked her kaftan off and threw it in the corner she curled up on the couh with her stoneware bowl full of Thai noodles
The ones she dropped he picked up with his lips off her skin
"U are my pet now" she muttered dangling more with her fork
He did things.. he would do in bed
When she finished every bite and drank every drop of her soup... he had no patience left
5 ish she woke troubled.. he lay on her
She looked out the window worried what Bala was going to do about Shravu
He had eaten two muffins and two brownies for dinner like pay day at D II on her pay day she would bring treats
from some Vasant Vihar bakery and they would pig out in Periappa's room giving him a bite of everything they ate
She couldnt imagine him being a clever thief
She took short distressed breaths..
He held her tighter attempting to kill her thoughts, then he turned her
"I slept well..." she used another one from her bag of lies
He dragged the sheets over them and started to get frisky
"that doesnt mean its time to make love" she whispered in his ear turning away from him feeling his bristles all over bare back
He went back to sleep at 6:20 ish... "I have a meeting at 8, let me go kanna" she begged
He lay there
"Get up and shave I will take the day off" she lied feeling her bruised skin... softly
She lay until he started to sleep again and slid off, found her clothing and went to take a shower
Texted Akka "how is he?"
"Bala is going to school"😲
NEE PO KA" II begged😠(YOU go)
"Are u kidding?" Akka responded
"IF HE GOES HE WILL HAVE HIM THROWN BACK IN 4TH GRADE" II warned in caps😡
"Edo nadakkattum" (whatever may happen its fine)
Ii dressed in a pearl color shirt and navy Burberry... braided her hair wore HighStrung M.A.C on her lips
Her laptop was in her car... she wanted to taste Amma's besan laddoo she walked over to the bedroom screwing on her diamond solitaires..
he was still asleep... she felt his shoulder fearing he was unwell
He turned and held her wrist
"I am leaving" she said
She returned and kissed him fully, his arms supporting her leaning form... his body hungry and aroused
.. wiped off the smudge...
He looked at that choclatey pink
"High Strung" she said without a smile
He half smiled
~~~~~~~~~
She began driving towards Dhaula Kuan, changed her mind and drove to Munirka
when she went up it was 7:42..
Akka sat sadly drinking second dose coffee near the balcony on the dining table chair
The house II tidied last night was a mess again
"Edukku kanna?" Akka asked seeing her (why did u come again)
"I had to see u ka" II whispered
"Cute aa irukku paaka en kozhanadi" (my child looks so cute)
"Did he hit him?" Ii asked
"No... he didnt talk to him" "Wouldnt let him take the bus"
"Ayyoyo"
"Where are Thatha Paati?"
"Watching Shankara TV IN BED" Akka was irritated
"Tch" II lamneted
"My kid gets the worst treatment.. until I threw a fit there wasnt even a AC in his room,
Thatha Paati dont even use it but still a brand new AC. Lets toughen him up Vandita, he has too many luxuries" Akka sobbed
"I WANTED TO BUY HIM AN IPAD" II reminded
"Naa vendaa sonnena Inda manusharallow pannale na enna di panradu? ( This man wont agree)
"Chee paavam ka" II cried
"Cofee kudikareya?" she asked
"No... I brought 3 kinds of parantha for you" Ii said smiling
Akka smiled "Ethana kavala dee onakku" (how much u care)
II served sisters ate quietly
"Hey can I say something?"
"Sollu ka"
"I want to call Sam"
"Ayyoyo No" Ii said
"See we will know if he took it to school"
II argued and finally gave up
Vandu dialed
"Hey Sam"
"Vandita cold hai kya?"
"Umm haan shaayad... kitni garmi hai" Akka lied sniffling
"Sorry love... i can send lunch bhejoon?" Sam asked
Akka teared up... "No no"
SHE IS SO SWEET Akka whispered to II
II nodded
"Subah subah idli khaane bula rahi ho?"
"Sam aa jao... ek baat poochhon bura to nahi maanogi?"
"U want Lasya for a week?' Sam laughed hysterically
"Woh to meri behen ko do"
"Tumhe kya doon?" Sam laughed cheerfully
"Umm.. Nandu ka ipad khoya kya?"
"HOW DID U KNOW?" Sam asked startled
Wondering if Tan texted Ishita or bala
"Shravu stole it Sam" Akka wept uncontrollably
