ten minutes

They get into the car from different sides and slam the doors. He revs up the engine and hits the accelerator He: we have exactly ten minutes to get there She: (angry) I know will you hurry up now, Shiv could be dead by the time we get there He: (screaming) will you shut the fuck up! You and your bloody negativity She: get off my case and get me to the hospital fast. Shiv shouldn’t have been on a bike to begin with He: calm down yaar. He is 42 and is capable of handling his life She: (voice breaking) well he has come close to losing it now, what exactly did that person say? He: what I told you 10 times, that mine was the last dialed number on his phone and he was found hurt on the road, some people put him into an auto and got him to the hospital. He is in the ICU and serious. She: (sobbing) he is your best friend and mine too. W,,wwe (choking) cant bear to…. He: listen stop it, stop it now, we will be there in a minute, just keep shut. She: you know you’re just…. I don’t even now why I am still with you @@@@@ They get into the car from different sides and slam the doors. He revs up the engine and hits the accelerator He: we have exactly ten minutes to get there She: (can here the laughter in her voice) I know and this is the best drive I’ve been for in my life He: (teasing) so let’s drive down to Khandala, we can get married some other time She: (mock anger) shut up, just shut up and (sings) get me to the church in time He: eh… it’s actually the registerar’s office we are going to madam. And we have a lot of explaining to do about why both of us have come to get married in jeans She: I know yaar, even if you had told me in the morning I would have worn a salwaar kameez to work He: (laughing) you want to go back? She: don’t be silly. Listen, I hope your phone has enough battery to take some pictures. He: I think we shouldn’t take pictures, you’re having a bad hair day She: (laughing) you just have this knack of talking rubbish.

Just worried why have they called us to sunil’s school She: I took the call in front of you. The headmaster said he is fine, some disciplinary issues He: you think our son is on drugs or something? She: shut up. Must be just some pranks all growing boys play He: They would not call parents from delhi for some prank. You also know that She: let’s just go there and find out please? It’s hard enough that my only son is in trouble, I don’t need your non stop nagging to add to that. Come on, cant you see the signal has turned green, dammit He: (shaking his head) if only you hadn’t run away with that actor, we would never have sent sunil away. All this would never have happened She: what? You’re bringing THAT up now? I cant believe I came back to you. Don’t even know why I’m still with you. @@@@@@@
