Will you be kind to me?
"
Akka showed up in half hour or so, Athim dropped her off and didnt come up, Amma Appa thought it was weird but Akka looked very tired and weak so they let it go
II had brought ice cream and mithai and namkeen, mangoes...
"Onn kai summaave irukkaada di?" (Wont your hands be still?) Akka asked
"Its not my kai... its my purse... if I dont let it breathe it starts complaining" "and gasping" II chuckled
Serving mithai and namkeen for Akka, and cut up mangoes to make mango shake for all
"She never listens... I worry about her husband, if he finds out she is spending so much, he shud be OK right?" Amma hissed to Akka
II heard it she wanted to ROFL... THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY HE WAS ANGRY
ZILCH. NADA...
UPSET I AM SPENDING MONEY?
AYYYO AMMA HE IS MURDEROUS I "DONT" SPEND HIS MONEY
I CHEWED HIM UP AND SPIT HIM OUT AND HE CHEWED ME UP AND SPIT ME OUT
She picked up her phone and looked at his text page... scrolling... he looked insanely handsome in the
navy striped shirt today... folded up like that over his hairy forearm... she loved to feel it with her index finger
"I am HAIRY II" he would moan as she teased him with her fingers
"I know... I love that" she agreed
"AND U are smooth as butter and soft as fur" he would say... rubbing his abrasive hairiness all over her...
"U DONT ANSWER UR PHONE" Akka yelled from the front room over the sound of blender
II poured the shake out of the blender
Into 6 glasses, she had bought two dozen mangoes, over 5 kgs... almost...
She took two to periappa's room
The sleepy NURSE woke up, she handed both their mithai and shake... "Varen na" (Will sit by you soon) she kissed Periappa's forehead
He cooed like Lasya, more teeth were gone now, he looked squishy and defenceless
"Innikki periya sanda" (I fought big)
Periappa was serious...
"IKR" "Ennikki sanda illai?" (WHEN DO I NOT FIGHT?) RAKSHASAN!!
He smiled, and laughed... "Sanda podardula FIRST avan... he didnt really go to Grad school for MBA idukku daan ponaan" (He went to Grad school for combat skills)
The nurse smiled as if he was asked to chime in
She left quickly
She sat by Akka, Amma was in Appa's room
"Yenn di phone edukka maatengre?" (why dont u answer the phone?)
"I was in meetings ALL day"
"LIAR" said Akka
"NO.. I WAS ka, WHY shud I lie?"
"Because YOUR PURUSHAN answered the phone (hubs)
"Ayyoyo... eppo?" she asked
"4:30?" Akka said
II frantically checked there was tHREE MISSED and ONE answered calls
"WHY DID U CALL?" Ii was angry
"They suspended him for a week"
II stopped gripped her mango shake glass... in shock
Akka cried softly
"WHY?"
"I texted u right? Sam spoke to the princi?"
II nodded...
"Adukapram, Bala came home at 1:30 with Shravu and we had a big fight... he said he wont learn if he is not disciplined"
"Chhey, WHY? scold him take away media... take away play time" II whispered
"Ya"
"Even through the summer" "BUT THIS?" II was devastated
Amma returned "Why is she crying?"
They shared with Amma softly... Amma was totally upset...
"Why didnt u tell me?"
"Because u will tell Appa Appa will come over and hit him" Vandu said
"Ayyo Vandita enna karyam pannittan" (wHAT DID HE DO)
II cleared up starting cutting veggies for pulao...
Appa came to the living room for watching TV
Akka went to take a nap
When dinner was ready they ate... Ii asked Akka if she would let him go to the summer camp
Akka didnt tell her he is not allowed to interact with Nandu "No no fun"
"THIS IS A SCIENCE CAMP" II argued
"NO Ishita... "
"I PROMISE I wont buy him ANY TOY" II begged crying
"No raja"
Amma went to bed
Athim came to pick up Akka and called her from the car... II was in the bathroom, Akka left "telling her" she was leaving...
II returned home at 11..."Are u at work?" she asked
"I am" he said
She went to bed alone...
He didnt... not until the morning... not even in the morning, she found his car in the drive way
"Ur car is here" she texted at 7...
"Thanks" he said
"Aaj bhi nahi aaogey?" she called him upset
"Where are u?" he asked
She hung up...
He didnt call back
She went to work and called Akka to coax her, Akka was very sad, as
Shravu was home he couldnt wear his Wed sports uniform... the new one... she talked about lying for a week to in laws
"Ayyo" "I know" "I am so sorry ka"
Work was looking up for her, since Dilshad Garden and Ghaziabad were over 60%... they were going to Kirti Nagar, Rohini and Lajpat Nagar showrooms on Thursday
She spent the day at Kirti Nagar with Ashwini, headed to Rohini and returned or started to return home at 7
Called Akka again... there was no change...
She was so upset she called Athim...
"Epdi urikel?" (how are u?)
He didnt answer
"I am sorry Athim" she said
"HHmmm" he grunted unpleasantly
"Athim" she began..
He cut her off... "I am busy what do u want?"
"Are u driving? "
"NO.. I AM STILL AT WORK" he said irritated
"Oh!, Athim I wanted to ask you if"
"Ido paar if u have any plans for Shravu or want to buy him anything THEN STOP. YOU SHOULD NOT BE. NOT ANY MORE"
Ii was shocked beyond words...
"What did I do?" she began to cry
"U come by constantly... u constantly buy him things... sonna pecha kekardu ille (he doesnt listen), HE STEALS... u have made him greedy" he said
"ayyoyo not me... not me... not me" she begged
"Dont buy him anything OK? kanna" he was kind but in a sarcastic way...
"I never bought him much"
"U wont buy him anything any more... I dont want u doing anything for him, if u insist u then u can stop coming over" he said
"That is so harsh Athim, I LOVE HIM... hes my very own" she begged
"No he is mine and Vandita's... u dont have to visit"
HE HUNG UP
She barely made it home... she parked outside
Ran up the stairs... it was 8:28... went to her balcony and bawled
The door hinge creaked... she turned... they stared at each other...
"Dont fight with me" she begged hiccuping..
He quickly closed the gap in shock... "WHAT HAPPENED II?"π²
"Will u be kind to me?" she demandedπ³
He nodded speechlessπ²
"Athim said I cant go to their house any more..." πshe cried audibly, as he hugged her tight... "when Appa is angry he scolds me, when
Athim is angry he says I cant go to their house. TUM BHI LADEY to I dont have any where to be" π³she sobbed softly
"Shhh shhh" shhh" he rocked her holding her tight...
