Dus Paisa wala...

"So how is ur Dus paisa wala??" Bobo asked licking his fingers..

It was a Friday and Megha was enjoying her ritual eat-out with Bobo and Krathi... Krathi with her big appetite always tried to compete the biggest foodie Megha... but today M was picking at her food.. Bobo concluded that it as something connected to Chetan...

Megha sighed and said " Don't call him that yaar.. that's wat is the problem.. Yday he started fighting on this issue"... "Dus Paisa wala", M spitted vehemently..

M had met Chetan in of those thousand Book fairs that throng the city all thru the year.. her love for books made her visit almost every one of them... she was in grazing a book on Aurobindo by Satprem wen he went past, umm ok more of dashing by her... then they wr standing next to next at the check out counter...

It was him who started the convo..

C: Hi... nice collection of books u have choosed! i take it that u are an avid reader..
M : Umm sort off.. wat are ur Genres of interest?
C : U know.. mostly autobioraphies, biographies, Non-fiction etc etc etc..

They finished their purchase and walked to the parking chit chatting mostly on books... just as M was saying bye, C tripped and his bag went flying towards Megha's feet... spilled wr the graphical autobiographies named "The Next door Slut", " The uncle and his Mistresses" and yet another...
M picked one and said "Ah the Autobiography!!" and burst out laughing... he laughed sheepishly, lunged for the book and scurried off immediately..

it was abt 2 months after this wen M saw him at a local stationery shop... she called from his behind "So Mister.. have u done with all ur Autobiographies".. C was stunned to see her.. he had least expected M, a strikingly beautiful lady, to remember him least alone talk to him after wat happ the other day... he laughed nervously but before he cud reply, M put him at ease saying 'oh come on.. its not as if u r d only guy interested in those amorous books.. everybody denies but secretly gets them hook or crook.. u atleast bought it publicly at the fair"...  all C could blurt out was "ummm..Coffee??"

its a yr since their first coffee date and they were still steady in their relationship... their interests in everything except for those "autobiographies" kept them going.. she turned a blind eye for his particular habit and he eventually lost interest in those too... Recently they had purchased a couple card to reduce their alarmingly growing phone expenses... the call rate btw them was 10 p /min and texting came free of cost...

immediately their friends circle had started calling C as Dus-paisa wala... not a flattering nickname there and C was extra-ordinarily pissed... this was the main reason for their recent arguments that eventually led to fights and black outs.. they had one of their silly fights before M came out for this Friday eat-out and was particularly annoyed beyond limits...

"Ab tho har roz yahi soch ke..." Bobo's mobile started singing... he exclaimed "M.. tera Dus paisa wala..." and ducked to dodge the cutlery that flew in his direction from M...

B : Hi Chetan.. Kahan pa hai...
C : Hi B.. ummm... listen can i talk to M.. she has switched of her mobile.. Plz...
B : lo Karlo Baath...(passing on the mobile to M)

M : C.. wat happ now..
C : ummmm.... can u come out plz...i am waiting outside..
M : Wat the hell!! cant u come in.. i am with Bobo n Krathi only..
C : Just come out...

Megha was worried if this is a prelue for another big fight now.. she hurriedly went out searching for Chetan... M worridly asked"Wat happ C.. is there a problem?" suddenly C got to his knees and produced a beautiful Rose boquet out of no-where... then he huskily asked " Will u marry me, My Dus Paisa waali???"
M was stunned even to utter the "yes" which she eventually uttered.. C slipped on a ruby ring onto M's finger and hugged her close....

Krathi dragged M to inspect the ring, wen Bobo asked Chetan "scene kya hai boss.. One moment u are fighting the next moment u ask her to marry u.. am i smelling something fishy? and wat is this dus paisa waali.."

"Ssssh!" shushed C, " don't be loud..." after checking that they were at safe distance he said " i was planning this for days.. but as its VDay tomm i tot, let me propose her"

"Thats fine..But wat happ to ur silly fight!!" asked Bobo...

"Oh that! Solo company has withdrawn all its plan expect our Dus-paisa wala scheme.. ummm..i am happy and ll be her Dus Paisa wala forever.. But i beg u plz don't let her know.. after all i need something to fight with her now and then right??" said the love struck newly engaged Chetan, grinning as wide as his llips cud allow...

 :-) Happy Valentine Folks...
