Hail The Kalyug! #YourStoryIndia

That's Mia to you.

Act I, Scene I

The curtain raises and we satiate our perpetual knack of sneaking in.The grandeur living room on display belongs to the Vermas.The 'elite' family living down in Southern Delhi. One can see a maid feeding their little boy ,another cleaning the mess and another...Oh no! That's their daughter,sitting in with the only people who never left her.Her maids.

Mia : When do you finish all your work? I want to go shopping.

Cynthia: I'm the Head Server,Mia.I can't just leave the house alone.

Mia: Well,the house won't be alone! Rani and Vishnu will be here and so will my little boy.

Cynthia : Exactly! I can't leave your brother alone with them.Madam will be upset.Why don't you go out with your best friend?

Mia : She is busy with her exams,Cynthia.I'll just go alone.

Cynthia: What about Aarush? {In a low voice}

Mia : You know very well what happened between us yesterday.You don't think I'll go back to him now.

Cynthia : Oh my dear, he is a lovely man.I'm sure he'll come back to you soon.

Mia : We'll see.Anyways,I'm leaving.

Curtain drops.

Scene II
And the scene shifts to the mall.The place filled with wild hormonal kids and desperate,distressed housewives.Careful,you might just run into your mother shadowing a stranger and you don't want your new girlfriend seeing that,do you?

Mia: Well now that I gotta shop alone might as well buy some sloggy clothes.I'm so sick of these 'fashionable' tights.And it probably would be a good idea to stop talking to myself!

And then she tosses clothes around for quite some time before picking up the raggiest of the lot.A sly smile working it's way to her face on the accomplishment.

Aarush: Mia?

Mia: What are you doing here?

Aarush: Oh,well...I went to your place and Cynthia directed me here.

Mia: I see.

Aarush: Look,I'm sorry Mia.Can we atleast talk?

Mia: Talk.I'll listen.

Aarush: I'm sorry?

Mia: I'm sorry doesn't fucking cut it Aarush!

Aarush: Can you not curse? We're in public!

Mia: Oh but baby,in our beloved country only Public Display of Affection is banned not violent curses.

Aarush: And you don't care about your reputation at all?

Mia: I'm standing here with you,my reputation is already history.

Aarush: You standing with me doesn't kill your rep goddamn it! I'm your freaking boyfriend.

Mia: Did you forget that when you had that horrendously sexual chat with her?

Aarush: That was just fun,Mia.It was just a chat.I didn't cheat on you.

Mia:Oh thankyou so much,Aarush.I should thank the heavens you didn't cheat on me!

Aarush: Mia,can't we sit down and just talk?

Mia: Do you have anything to say?

Aarush:Yeah.

Mia: What?

Aarush: What kind of tee is that?

Mia:You...you're incorrigible.

Aarush: Atleast I got that smile back.C'mon give me one chance?

Mia: There's a condition.

Aarush: Ah,you scheming bitch!

Mia: Yeah,so my unfaithful dog,you gotta win me over again.

Aarush: I'll have to put in a year long efforts again?

Mia: Nah,I'll be kind this time.

Aarush: What kind of solo chess game goes on in that mind of yours?

Mia: Implying that I am a manipulative anarchist isn't going to get you anywhere.

Aarush: Point taken.Can I drop you home,madam?

Mia: Do you have a bike or a car?

Aarush: You want a bike ride?

Mia:I was hoping for it.

Aarush:Well,we'll just have to make a stop at my home,first.

Mia: J'amie ton idea.

Aarush: Idea is ideé.

Mia: And you are walking on a thin line.

Aarush: When did you became one of those patronising girlfriends?

Mia: When you texted...

Aarush:Ugh! How long are you gonna nag me over that?

Mia: As long as you stick around.

Aarush:Well,I'm still trying.Wish me luck?

Mia:All the very best.

Aarush: That's it? I'd need more luck than that!

Mia: Well too bad you talked about it a little too much.

Aarush: Oh well,worth a shot! Let's descend to my abode?

Mia: Aye aye Captain!

Curtain shuts.
