Instincts
He called Purohit again in a formal Zoom conference call with Veer by his side and explained to him about how Towers Partners operated, and explained how going to a place of residence and entering without approval is a complete no-no
Veer was extremely disapproving of Purohit’s mode of operation and suggested to Pradyut later that they should look for other lawyers
“I agree, he says he was petrified because she said FU over email” Pradyut stupefied
“Whoaa?”
“Yep, he said her email response was not dignified so he decided to arm himself with a bunch of goons”
“Was the encounter recorded?”
“No I don’t think so, according to Purohit”
“Phew”
“she would have mentioned it last night” Pradyut scratched his head looking out the window
“She showed up at Dad’s?”
“Yep… soaking wet, furious and threatened me with bodily harm” Pradyut could not control the amusement
“Are u laughing?”
“Umm.. (clearing his throat) umm.. not really” he mumbled staring at his laptop screen
“That scary huh?” Veer laughed
The men shared a grin
“What was she wearing?”
“Excuse me?”
“What was she wearing?” Veer probed with curiosity watching his BIL carefully
“Umm.. I don’t know” Pradyut lied
“Nothing?”
“just regular clothes I guess… didn’t look”
(Oh! He looked he looked and memorized, to the very last drop of water sliding down her neck)
“Well… and oh! Is this the person you met at the wedding?” Veer was suddenly curious again
“I think so”
“Hmm” Veer nodded
“Did u expect a sibling?”
“You’ve told me I guess…” Veer nodded
“I am going to have to reign in Purohit” Pradyut muttered
“Afraid for your life?” Veer chuckled
“I don’t want to be killed by a woman… no…” Pradyut shook his head
“That’s the only reservation”
“No actually… I want to be around when we raze it to the ground and start building” POradyut spoke smugly
“That’s all everyone wants… TK Govil is scheduled to leave tonight to go talk to the excavators and the clean up crew”
“He sounds like he sympathizes with the bookstore family” Pradyut was offended
“Sure… whatever (Veer shrugged) he met the girl he saw a story of struggle and melted” Veer waved flippantly
“I suspect he is going to tell her”
“You have started fearing her now?” Veer chuckled
“No I don’t”
But he was beginning to feel he felt differently about the whole thing
He later wandererd Golf Links that night wondering what it was he felt
He was aroused by her… THAT’S IT!!
He was…
“yep”
“I am letting my p—s be my brain” he cursed himself
It began to rain.. he watched a white Toyota Corolla pass by… he again thought of her
“I am booting her out” he said out loud
He felt better about whatever mischief TK govil was planning
“I need to start dating” he muttered walking home
He returned to his parents place
“What do we owe the honor?” Mum handed him a towel
“I was distracted I just walked over here” he mumbled
“Thanks” she kissed on top of his wet head
“Whoi did you want me to meet a while ago?” he asked burying his face in the towel
He knew Veer would chuckle about it also. Instead of going on a dating or hookup app he was asking his Mommy to set him up
