The School reunion - part two

Continued from part one

I reached home and realized that I was feeling so hungry. Damned guyz. It was supposed to be a reunion dinner and I just had two to three pieces from the veg and non veg platters. Won't these guyz have dinner at all. How will drinking all those alcoholic drinks fix one's hunger. I can never understand why people drink - is it for the taste, for companionship, to show off or a habit. No drink can compare to that chocolate milkshake with ice cream as topping, right. These guyz just don't understand food.

On reaching home,
My dad: So, did you have good food?
Me: yeah
My MV: no R, not tonight. you can tell them tomorrow. if you tell them you did not have food, they will ask then what did you go for.

Me (looking at my parents): am going to bed now
My MV: innaiki pasi oda thoonga vendiyathu thaan.

😆😂😄

Reunions always bring back fond memories of your childhood and make you feel good at the end of it. The memories keep you going for the next few days.

Oh, wait, am not done with this yet. The problem with me is that it is hard to lie to people especially my parents.

The next day morning,
Me (to my mom): Amma, can you pls get me breakfast a little early today. Iam feeling so hungry. Did not eat much last night.
My mom: What did you mean, you did not eat? Did you not go for dinner. You went so early and came in late.
Me: Err, amma, it was actually not a restaurant. It was some kind of a pub or retro bar (i tried to explain this to her).
My mom: so, don't they sell food.
Me: Actually, i think they do. But no one ordered and then we had to leave.
My mom: so, what did the others eat?
Me: err, i don't know.
My mom: what stopped you from making yourself dosa last night at home. You could have had it with the podi right. You want me to do everything for you. You are so lazy. Arive ille.

My MV: You deserve this, R.

My mom: so was it just you or did any other girl come in?
My MV: I knew this question would come in
Me: No, H was there, S was there. You remember S right and then Sg got his wife. And I guess Rp came in as well after I came home. She couldn't make it earlier. Got a little busy at home.
My mom: why would a girl go so late to meet people? She could have skipped the get together right.

My MV: R, unakku arive ille. Now, how are you going to explain this to amma. Did anyone ask you about Rp. You could have stopped with Sg getting his wife right?

Me: I don't know ma. Now, can you get me the breakfast pls.

and that is how I finally dodged her question and left quickly to office.

Phew, that was a narrow miss!!!
