"He knew he might never be invited back ever again to this apartment

He would just sit across from her and savor the food and the elusive Economist"


For all he knows, he might relish a 5 course meal after becoming the Jamai of the house. Raanav, have hope, that everything will be in favor at the end.

Ram Ram!

Viveka didn’t pander to him nor was she impolite, she loved her mixed vegetable achar that Dadi had made and brought with her, and she loved her kamal kakri ki subzi and chaney ki dal

She dug in

“Do you think its all too spicy for you?” she enquired politely

“A little bit” he mumbled with a “when were you going to ask”

“We don’t have coke or sodas the twins are fiends… Dadi made aam ras and we might have Tropicana if you are lucky” she got up from the table and walked to the friedge

“Beta khaane ke time mat utho” Akash scolded running to the fridge

“Its fine Papa… MAAAAA I want another ROTEEEE” she screamed as she approached her table

Raanav could not contain his amusement

“U can laugh I eat 4” she mumbled

His face was pink just like the guava juice Akash poured out

“Aapko dein?” Anubha asked politely without adding her “beta”

“Umm.. sure” he nodded

“Kidhar karte ho Naukri beta?” Dadi turned to him

“Amma inki apni company hai”

“Haan to theek hai subah kahin na kahin to jaate honge”

The twins were fighting

“See? with no coke… this is what happens” she rolled her eyes at Raanav

Anubha opened their door and scolded them with grit teeth

They rushed out to see WHO had come

“Do you work with her?” Karuna asked

“No I don’t” he said

“She is a mean Lecturer I just want to know what the other Lecturers think of her”

“Thanks Karu” Viveka spoke with a mouthful of roti

“Bachchan ko do betaaa besan ka laddoo… aur jo hum us din banaye hain… kya naam hai uska”

“Maaaa I want gulab jamun” the girls screeched

“I want cold coffee” Diya sat down on her Dad’s godi”

“Tumhari umar mein hamey munna ho chuka tha” Dadi scolded Diya for being childish

“She wants me to have a baby?” Diya acted innocent

Akash began to laugh softly

“MA… bache kuch alag hi matlab nikal lenge aap chup raho”

“Biveka ko kaho…” she began and turned to the table again

“Suno beta kya naam hai aapka?”

“Jee Raanav”

“Uffff” Viveka paused and stared down at her plate holding her breath

“Tumhe agar hamari Biveka ki umar ke ladke mil jaayen to bataogey? Bauji ke paas hai hamar number unhee se le liyo”

“Uh… um”

“Tumhari to ho chuki na shaadi?” she asked again

BIVEKA finished her meal

“do you want this roti or can I take it to the kitchen she challenged the Parashar kid

Dressed casually yet perfectly in silver cotton pants and a navy and white cotton shirt he looked rather fetching

His neatly combed and parted hair all messed up due to the rain

“I am good” he raised a hand

“Ho chuki kya shaadi?” Dadi asked her son again

“Arey NAHI Ma… mehmaan hai chhodo aap”

“Beta…. Biveka ko kitne saalon se jaante ho?” she quizzed

“Not long… abhi”

“Bahut padhi likhi hai… college mein sikhayi hai… roti GOL nahi bana paati par har kaam mein chust hai”

“Oh”

“Don’t mind her” Akash begged Raanav

“Sure” he flashed a smile

“Gaadi waadi bhi theek kare hai… aur ghar par sabhi bijli ka kaam… agar tumhara gaadiyon ka kaam ho, ya Bijli ka…”

“Ammaaa” Akash scolded her

“Shaadi nahi hui inki bhi… batao? To hum galat kya kahe”

“Amma ek minute aayengi?” Anubha yelled from inside

Viveka was back in her room after chatting with Naina

The twins were back in their room

Akash came for her with a cup of gulab jamun 10 minutes later

“BAHAR aao beta”

“Ufff!!! Is he leaving? I thanked him already” she said getting up from bed shoving her glasses up her nose

“I just need help pushing Dadi over the balcony rails” he whispered

Viveka began to laugh breathlessly

She went out crinkling her eyes as always… trying to assess the room myopically in her signature style

He sat across from Dadi and peering down on Dadi’s ipAD

“Yeh jo aage peechhe sab makaan hai who sab tumhare Dadaji ka

Dadi was FLEXING

Nice!!

He saw Viveka and his eyes lit up

The long column of her neck usually hidden by the saree now exposed in the tee with the plunging neckline

“Dupatta to le lo”

“To main apne kamre mein ja rahi hoon” Viveka argued

“Abhi shaadi hui kaha hai…? (you dont know him, he is not your husband, dont be so familiar with strangers/men) Ladkiyan hamare time mein gaon mein kewal saree pehanti thi" she turned to Raanav

Dadi gave sagely advice to Raanav

“In bachon ke kapdon ka kya kahoon” “ram Ram” Dadi prayed

“”Kyon bulaya aapne?”

“Who isme… who pata nahi kaha hai who video nahi liya ek baar Anil chachu ne… who laga de beta”

“Don’t you have to go home?” she asked Raanav hands on her hips

He was afraid his employer was being made into a chauffer

What next? 😆


Did she not realize that he's mad because she was stranded the way she was?

But it was real cute of her trying to talk him out of his mood..


“Sikhaate ho poti ke saath?”

For some reason, I find the 2 or 3 conversations dadi has had with Raanav real cute! She doesn't give a damn about who he is... she goes on to talk to him like she'd to the errands guy she'd meet on the fly!


Naina asked him a million questions and snuck into the kitchen and acted like she was a Dhamija already and so by deductive property Parashars were HER homies 🤣

Naina.. kya bolein? She's gutsy, sassy and a fool.. but she's sweet!


Him sitting with her for a late night dinner, at her home, among her family was smooth.. real smooth! Nothing declares a closeness like sharing a meal does. Loved it ❤️


Will the parents catch on to something?

Dinner with the elusive economist and the Parashar kid was every bite amazing!!

Love how she makes casual conversation.. sharing tidbits of her life here and there.


I thanked him already

Kab? Liar..


So much of Dadi and Raanav.. wow!

“Yeh jo aage peechhe sab makaan hai who sab tumhare Dadaji ka

“Abhi shaadi hui kaha hai…?

Already tumhare dadaji? The wedding bells are ringing for dadi ji! She's a riot..

I wish she doesn't change even after she gets to know more about the Parashars. I wish she'd always talk the same way with Raanav, and maybe Smrita too? That'd be her just desserts 😆


“Don’t you have to go home?” she asked Raanav hands on her hips

It's so interesting to slowly watch her lose her stiffness and formality with her..

She's generally so aloof and formal and there he was exerting his familiarity at dinner.. what a fun dilemma! 😳

Wow, straight to the point. Is she going to walk him down to the car? 🥰😍


Yeah, no thank you, no dupatta, reacting to dadi’s iPad showcase. Viveka is getting riled up. 💕

Thank you!

I was having few 'not so good' days sometime back and the 15 minutes I'd spend reading and re-reading your story would be the highlight of my day. So I'm very glad if I could make you one bit happier!

You really are beyond productive! Weird though it maybe, to me, your liveliness is obvious in your words. I'm sure your cooking must be as amazing as your writing ❤️


Vaise, my Ma has gulabjamuns and shakkar paarey on her calendar tomorrow.. I was to be her sous chef. But I managed to burn a bowl of chocolate today, so it looks like I'm already fired!


Makes me appreciate you all that more. Have a good day!
