bangles and bindis

chapter 7

tanvi: maa it's almost 4:30, they will be here any minute now
neel : koi bada excited hai sasural waalo se milne ke liye
tanvi : never mind.
sneha : sharmao mat jee khol kar hass lo
tanvi : pitne ke mood mai ho?
sneha ; mummmmaaaaaaa
nita ; ab kya huaaa, kyu bachon jaise bula rahi ho. kasam se mentally 5 saal ki hi reh gayi ho tum. didi cchidhaati hai aur tum chidd jaati ho
richa ; meri bhaanji ko khabardaar aise bola aapne bhabhi, bachi hai
tanvi : bua iska yeh matlab nahi hai ki sirf roti rahegi, jab khud shaadi ka number aayega tab bhi mumma mumma karegi
sneha ; i hate you.
tanvi : who said i love you.
neel ; oh god can you all be a civil pair of sisters!!!
tanvi and sneha together : NO
myra : hahahah, maa i wish you and dad had considered having another baby. i would've had someone to fight with as well
nitin and richa's faces have gone red as they look at each other and seem extremely flushed.
nita: myru they aren't too old right now either, they can still try.
richa shoots a deadly look at her bhabhi
nitin : that is true, but myra if we have another baby, we won't be able to give you as much attention and that would mean you wouldn't get to come as often to meet your sisters here since we'll be at home taking care of the baby.
richa: YES!
myra: ugh okay fine.

a loud bell echoes the mansions living room

neel: they're here!
nita: i'll go open the door, tanvi and sneha and myra in the kitchen, we'll tell you when to come out. bring the tea.
tanvi : what tea?
nita : the one i asked chotu to get from the market. i'll tell them you made it, so you better not revolt. there's a ton of other snacks i got as well. please don't mess this up. it's about our family's reputation.

nita isn't wrong. the malhotras are one of the most influential families in the city. one wrong word, and they will be ruined. it is imperative that tanvi gives a good first impression, keep reading to find out if she is able to do what is expected out of her!
