| Pop - Chapter Two |
Ira drove to Meher’s house like a maniac. It was just a few blocks away but trust Mumbai traffic to fuck up the shortest distances. After the bunch of aunties who were out for their evening walk but just ended up huddling up on the road, made way for her, she finally reached her house. She called her up and kept honking till she saw Meher’s mom outside the house. She rolled down the windows to talk to her mom.
“Hello Aunty. Is Meher ready to leave? The vendors are already at the venue,” said Ira.
“Beta, she is coming. Would you like to join us for a cup of tea?” asked Meher’s mom.
“No aunty. We are already running late. But I will drop by one of these days,” said Ira.
Ira saw her best friend running towards the car. She looked ecstatic. She gave her mom a quick hug and jumped into Ira’s car.
“Are you ready to partaaaaaayy?” said Meher.
“You are a specimen. I have arranged for the DJ. Sameer’s friend who is a sound engineer will be taking over the music tonight. He is a crazy ass mixer,” said Ira.
“You are just too efficient E,”said Meher.
Ira smiled awkwardly. She absolutely detested being called E. She loved her name. It did not any distortion whatsoever, but there was nothing much she could do about it. It had caught on and everyone called her that.
She drove on. The venue was a little away from the city. Meher wanted a grand 19th, and that was exactly what she was getting. Her parents had booked a bungalow on Madh island. The guest list included more than two hundred people. The non – PG part of the entertainment had been taken care of by Sameer and Ira. So everything seemed to be in place.
“I couldn’t decide what to wear so I got my three options. Please be my saviour and help me choose what to wear,” said Meher.
“At least you won’t be looking like a pregnant woman tonight. I look like a fucking cow. I told you I had gained a lot of weight,” said Ira.
“How many times do I need to tell you that you are one of the most beautiful people I have seen in my life? You need to gain some weight is what I think. So for the love of god stop cribbing E,” said Meher.
Ira smiled. Meher always made her feel good about herself. They had been inseparable for the past six years. They shared everything with each other. The day she lost her virginity, Meher was the first person she told. When she fell in love with Sameer, Meher was the first to know again. Every time she had a showdown with Maama, Meher’s house was her shelter. They had been through thick and thin together and they were each other’s soul mates.
They reached Madh island and Ira felt a sudden dip in her body when she looked at the bungalow.
“Tonight, we are going crazy, “said Meher stepping out of the car.
