He checked out on another register and caught up with her outside

We are waiting to see what actually he will do about this situation now.
can you please consider meeting her ajji and asking her granddaughter’s hand for marriage?

Instead of trying to figure out why she is being stubborn, he might want to understand her perspective.

She did not want to ever see him again but destiny had other plans.

She has already pretty much told him what the problem is. She wants a man who is open to commitment.

He is in it for a fling but she wants more. Is he willing to even think about getting onboard with that?

“What did you tell my sister in law?”

“Excuse me?”

“What did you tell Suhasini Deshmukh”

“Why would I tell her anything”

“I got the royal dressing down from my brother for nothing?”

“Mujhe kya maloom, your behavior must be bad na?” she spat out gleefully

“I never misled you”

“Bata re tumne” she was exasperated

“Please don’t act like I wronged you”

“Stop it Indy, I never even approached you or talked to you, one more time I will shout for help”

“Do it” he muttered standing ground

They had a staring match

“Don’t mess with me Bhadra”

“You are like a injured soul, you cannot get over your broken marriage, tumhe har ek mein problem dikhta hai”

He was furious when she got personal

“Did I ask you to diagnose me?”

“Maine to tumhe mujhe super market mein stop karke baat karne ko nahi bola na?”

“I want to see you with no strings attached”

“I want you to f--- off” she whispered

They had another staring match

“If you want to let go of a good thing chasing after a stupid ring, then be my guest”

“Only to you mindless sex is a good thing Indy” she grit her teeth

“If I recall correctly, you relished every minute Bhadra”

“U are a crass creature to remind me of it”

“Sex is a beautiful thing, its not crass….”

They were whispering, nobody cared around them

“Good for you, then find yourself another date”

“I will” he said exhaling deeply

“Good bye”

She walked away, she didn’t have a car to slam the door or drive off haughtily

She only had her dignity

She crossed the road with the s---t ton of random food items she had foolishly bought, she stopped by at a mango vendor and bought a dozen mangoes and hailed an auto and rode off, he was in his car, watching her leave

He wanted her to be with him

There was no way he wanted to commit to anything

Knowing his luck, she will hand him her wedding invite and marry some loser and move out of Pune

Which is fine…. That’s totally fine

“Then just tell her we can be serious until one of us finds someone?”

“I am never getting married right?”

His mind voice warned him

“That’s right, but why should I not see her until SHE gets married

“She thinks I am selfish and want nothing from the relationship”

“I don’t want anything from the relationship… she is gorgeous and terrific in bed, what more do I want?”

“She wants to get married

“Fool”

Ajji almost gave her a spanking when she saw all the food and fruit

“What is wrong with you?”

“Nothing”

Ajji called Sulu and complained

“Ajji she is dealing with stuff at work”

“Is she going to lose the coaching of that nice boy?”

“Who?”

“Kiran? Kalpesh?”

“Kunal Deshmukh Ajji?”

“Hoy hoy”

“I don’t think its that… its something about changing the structure of the program” Sulu lied glibly

Ajji made mental notes

She had a small piece of land in Ratnagiri, it wasn’t quite an orchard, but it was a mangrove, she didn’t know how much she will get for it, but she wanted to talk to her nephew who managed it over there

“Rs. 5 lakhs, 10 lakhs… whatever? Is enough, we can renovate this house, get her married and save some for Prajakta’s college” she dremed of spending that paltry sum of money for decades

“You think we should go back to gaon?” Ajji asked Sulu

“WHY?” sulu panicked

Punky was dreaming of a bigger city than Pune or Mumbai, she wanted to go to Singapore or Dubai, Ajji wanted the family to relocate to gaon

“Everything is expensive, we can rent this house or sell it, will be enough for three weddings and my old age”

“You ARE in your old age”

“No, I am not even 70” Ajji was offended

The women laughed

Ajji hung up when she heard the shower stop

Punky was admiring her fading love bites

She didn’t hear Ajji cackling or hang up

“I want to see you with no strings attached”

Bhai, kitne din?

Mango Dreams 👌

Aam Aadmi ke sapne!!! One property and too many plans.

Who will drill sense in this guy?

Knowing his luck, she will hand him her wedding invite and marry some loser and move out of Pune

Which is fine…. That’s totally fine

“Then just tell her we can be serious until one of us finds someone?”

“I am never getting married right?”

His mind voice warned him

The guy is stuck. He is not affected than he wants to acknowledge.

How long will he let go something which was worth holding on to???
