Scene IV
The curtain opens.
And now we shall gawk at the family's dinner table.A passing view and you can feel the tense air.

Mr Verma : How is your internship going?

Mia :Ah,great.Just a little trouble with the accounts department but meh...

Mr Verma : I'm sorry I've to take this call.

Mrs Verma : You tell me,sweety.I'll see to it that they don't bother you.

Mia: You don't need to,mom.I already took care of it.They were just cribbing about the increased finances but hey, I augmented the material quality! They understood as at the end of the day profits maximised.

Mr Verma : Well,that's my daughter!

Mia : You don't have to fight over me.I don't belong to either one of you.

Mr Verma : You're my daughter!

Mia : And equally hers as well.But neither of you own me.

Mrs Verma : This is not what we meant,darling.

Mia : Oh you don't know what you meant! You two are simply too busy hating eachother.

Mr Verma : I think that is enough food for the night.Get back in your room,Mia.

Mia : Wow! And that is how the CEO treats his love child!

Mr Verma : You're taking this too far.It's not about that!

Mia : Yes it's not about that.It's about you two and your differences.Sort your own shit before you try and teach me!

Mia exits.

Mrs Verma : Surely,your daughter.

Mr Verma : I don't know why do we even try to have family meals.It's not like she doesn't know about the broken state of her family.

Mrs Verma : This is to make things a little normal around.Give her some family atmosphere.

Mr Verma :As if that can happen with you around.

With a sigh,he leaves as well.

Mrs Verma : Well,I guess,it's just you and me.I'll help you out.

Cynthia : Oh no madam,you mustn't.I'll do it by myself.

Mrs Verma : It's alright,Cyn.Lets get these dirty dishes all dolled up.

Scene V

Now our perverted selves, sneak into Mia's bedroom.After the turmoil downstairs.We ought to find  something interesting.Wanna make a bet that the princess is thrashing stuff around?

Mia: I'm sorry.God,I'm tired of all this.

Aarush: Open you window,baby!

Mia : What the hell Aarush? Why did you sneak in again? You know dad is home today!

Aarush : You can scream at me after you explain me why your cheeks are stained?

Mia : Because I didn't wash them yet?

Aarush : Your smartass replies don't work with me,shorty!

Mia : Can't you simply call me by my name?

Aarush : And won't that be fun?

Mia : Okay,this is it! Leave! I just can't stand talking,right now!

Aarush: Wanna try pushing me again,doll? Let me get this straight,you're telling me what happened,right now.

Mia: I'm sorry.It's just I get angry sometimes.

Aarush : Sometimes?

Mia : Yeah,yeah.Well,mum and dad are always bickering and they...they fucking try to fake shit in front of me.I hate that.I...I'm just.I want reasons,Aarush.

Aarush: What reasons?

Mia: Reason my mom left me,reason my dad never married her,reason this... my dad's wife, sticks around.I don't know.

Aarush: Hey,that's enough stress for a day! Let's get out of here.

Mia: And raise the alarm? And wake up the entire neighbourhood?

Aarush: Don't act so innocent,my little thief.You know how to shut the alarm.

Mia :Ah,my intelligence.It overwhelms me.What will I get for making all this effort?

Aarush: Anything you want,baby.

Mia: Oh you can act sexy,sweety.Nothing is gonna happen till you win me back.And I want an icecream.

Aarush: Fine,I'll buy you your Mint icecream,which is absolutely disgusting.

Mia: Don't you dare insult my baby! And I don't want you to buy it.

Aarush : Oh I can't make icecream,doll!

Mia : Heavens no,I wanna eat it.I just want you to get it from my fridge.

Aarush: You want me to sneak in your kitchen and steal your icecream?

Mia: See,that way we'll both be partners in crime.

Aarush: No I can't comprehend your twisted logics.

Mia : You don't need to.Now hurry up! We've got shit to do!

Aarush :And you were crying minutes ago.I have told you you're bipolar,right?

Mia: I have Multiple Personality disorder.Will you get up?

Aarush: I'm quite comfy in your lap!

Mia : I'll make you pizza tomorrow?

Aarush : Your infamous anonymous pizza?

Mia: Aha! Now C'mon boy!

Aarush : I'm up! I'm up! Let's rock and rob,baby!
The curtain is closed.
