Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed. I thought you guys liked me bullshitting before the actual story. However, it seemed that you were quite relieved by the omission of this part. Why? I thought I was your friend. Okay then, your wish is my command. There will be no bullshit in this one as well. Enjoy the fact that you gain peace at the expense of my broken heart, you sadistic bastards!

Fuuuuuuuuuuucccccccc! Why was Bhabiji there? Had anyone seen Percy till now ? Could he slip out unnoticed ? Percy was just turning around to dash towards the front door when Mrs. Grace noticed him and invited him in. "Hello Aunty! Thank you giving me the chance to perform in this absolutely amazing play", said Percy in the same way and with the same expressions rehearsed 50 times in front of his mom. "Aww! Look at him Jason! He's such a good boy! Learn from him", said she. Percy grinned towards him and Jason replied, " Dogs are good boys, not humans!" After the completion of the awkward silence, in which Percy was sure that Jason would receive a spanking later, they began the first reading of the play!
The story was relatively close to Percy's beliefs. "Always be Kanjoos". Mama Jason made Percy the protagonist. Percy was El Miser Classico businessman. Jason was the secretary to his miser employer. A third girl of their society was the spouse of Miser Businessman and then there was Ativna. According to Leo, Ativna got the best role of them all. She was the mother-in-law of Percy! Percy looked forward eagerly to his lines directed towards oldie.
The plot was cliched. Miser collects money. Miser doesn't spend money. Miser doesn't keep his spouse's promises. Miser gets kicked in the ass by spouse and so on. In the end, miser convinces himself that miser dying would result in less expenditures, so miser jumps into the pyre. Then, miser hears that spouse will give all money away to secretary and charity, so miser again jumps out of pyre to save the World. The End!
The plot, however, wasn't that important to Percy. His favorite part was the part where Miser roasts his Mother in Law into Oblivion. Every rehearsal, there would be a gigantic difference in line delivery by Percy. The script wasn't that amazing! He had to say, in Hindi, "Yo Mother-in-Law, shut the hole in your mouth! Your daughter is better off than half the population in the World! She doesn't have to buy her 5th pair of sarees just yet! Shut up ". The normal lines were read in a monotonous voice and the roasting part was done with so much conviction that Aunty complimented Percy and said that he would make a great actor. Ah! Good ol' Days!
This was the first time in three years that Percy had directed any speech in the general direction of Ativna and he enjoyed it to the fullest. On the day of the actual show, Aunty Grace had strictly advised Leo and Frank to not make faces from the audience lest the amateur actors get out of character. Percy and Jason thoroughly enjoyed them being scolded. The play began and the audience were apprehensive at first because, well you know, amateurs.
The play started like any other un-practiced plays, fumbled lines, wardrobe malfunctions ( at one point, Percy's Dhoti opened completely! Hilarious, right? Wrong! It was terrifying), getting hit on the head with mics and so forth. However, the turning point of the play was the roasting part. The usual conviction crept into the the protagonist's voice and then everyone transformed into professional actors. At the end of the play, the audience was ROFL'ing like crazy and the play ended with thunderous applause, or at least a mini-applause. We still were amateurs.
While this was happening, there was something else happening in the Society as well. Remember Predator Supremo? Yeah, she was up to some antics as well. Now, if you remember correctly, Leo and Ativna walked the entire length of the society during the pujas, about 76.5 times to be exact. The CCTV Aunty Social Network (CASN) had picked up this signal and Predator Supremo had received a notification via CASN that her beloved daughter was roaming around with a Bengali Boy. Fortunately, she didn't receive the name of the Bengali Boy. There was a 1 in 4 chance that she would pick the correct person and she picked one in the 75%. The scapegoat was drumrolls..... Frank Zhang! Ba-dum-tss!
In went Predator to Frank's home, conveniently at a time when Frank wasn't home and bitched about the entire situation, as reported to her, by CASN. The exaggeration by the CASN was, frankly, awesome. They reported the exact number of times they had walked around the colony times hundred. They made up stories about intimacy and smooches and a bit more. A family friendly story shouldn't mention the "bit-more" stuff!
Now, Frank's mom was stricter than Percy's and Leo's mom combined. She didn't, even once, question Predator Supremo (PS) about the authenticity of her claims and started blasting Frank the moment he entered. "What did I do ?" cried Frank and to which she replied," You stupid boy! You're fooling around with her innocent girl! Why are you doing this? I'll cut you off from the will! You won't get a single Lamborghini or a single pair of Gucci pants! Clear?" Now, Frank was actually scared and quickly told his mom that it wasn't he who was fooling around with her daughter. I was someone else. He probably told PS that he did not know who was roaming with Ativna and Percy and Leo chose to believe him.
The times were getting interesting now. It was like a game of Tom and Jerry! The love birds frantically moved their meeting place from one plot to another and each time, the CASN managed to locate their positions. Finally, frustration managed to infiltrate their relationship and the meetings ended. The class 10 Boards exam was knocking at their doors and communication somewhat stopped altogether.
During the pre-boards, they chatted on Messenger where Ativna really needed to validate herself so she used Leo for that purpose. When Leo saw that she was online, he would ask her if she completed her preparation and to which she would reply," No yaar! I don't know anything! It feels like I won't even get 50% in the actual exam". Side note: she got 96% in the ICSE exam. And Leo, like a good boy, would validate her and boost her morale by saying she would top the Boards! Such a good and caring friend without any ulterior motives!
People don't fall in Love. That's my belief. They first look at a person and if there is enough lust present there, they decide that they will be attracted to the person and if that pans out, they call it Love else it's a mistake. Now, to pan out the attraction, there needs to be common characteristics between the two parties and there should also be common interests. In absence of these items, a relation is bound to fail. Wow! Felt like I was creating a legal document here.
So in this case, there was a period of absolute bliss in Leo's mind during which he could see no wrong with Ativna but it gradually wore down. They still weren't a thing and there wasn't a definition to what they were. For all we know, they might be super mega hippie best friends till now.
Slowly, but surely, Leo was losing interest in her and I guess this made Ativna panic. Since they were not meeting at all in the society due to CASN, all their conversations were in Messenger. One day, out of nowhere, Ativna accused Leo of being a jealous person. When Leo asked as to why she said that, she replied that she saw him getting angry when she talked to other boys. He said he was not jealous at all and said that he was just a protective person. Again, Ativna wanted more attention, so she said that Leo did not trust her but our hero was also a pro in manipulative conversations. He replied that it was she that didn't trust him.
After that, their conversations kind of became stale. She didn't watch movies, didn't watch football, didn't listen to music which was all that Leo did and ,in turn, Leo didn't read books zealously and this angered Ativna.
When Leo couldn't take it anymore and said that she was killing him, she pulled out a weapon that only a very few percentage of the men ,worldwide, can resist. She said, in messenger of course, "I LOVE YOU". Leo, at first a bit disoriented, replied with the most romantic words he could think of next. He said , " Ohh... Well, let's reserve these jokes for a later time. Let's talk about something serious." Well played Mr. Valdez, well played! ( Three years later, when this was finally told to Percy, his exact words were, " Oh My Goodness Gracious Mother Of Satan With A Trishul You Sunovabeech !").
The conversation was ended right then because apparently, Ativna's mom had entered the room. This is what I call Pyar ka Izhaar, then Mom ka Maar!
Their first hurdle came within a month. Apparently, Ativna had bad-mouthed Leo in front of many of her friends and one of Leo's trusted friends had told him about this. He was angry and felt betrayed. He thundered on Messenger that if she had something to bitch about him, she should bitch about it at him and not behind his back. She didn't accept her mistake. Bad Move Ativna, Bad move! She returned fire and said that she always speaks her mind. If there was something wrong with you, she would say it irrespective of who was in front of her!
Breaking News: Just found out the reason why Ativna had bad mouthed the love of her life. Courtesy: Leo Valdez. Thanks dude!
The events which had happened just a month ago on Messenger had been enough to throw Leo into a state of dizzy excitement, so much so that he had forgotten to log out of his facebook account which he operated on his Father's Mobile and the platform was Chrome.
The fateful day when Papa Valdez decided to check Chrome was coincidentally, Ativna's birthday! Nice Timing! The day was a Sunday and Leo wasn't at home when his father checked all his previous messages. He was off to take his weekly test at his Coaching Center and was happy as he would get to spend her first birthday as a couple. So Romantic! At home, Papa and Mama Valdez debated what to do for sometime as there was no one to scold and so they decided to tell Papa Ativna about what was happening! Hum Saath Saath Hai!
Ever had four adults scolding you at once? Me neither! Poor Ativna. They scolded her for about an hour and her own parents took her home and scolded her again for three hours. All this while, Leo was oblivious to what was happening at home and thinking about what romantic thing he would do for her that day. Then he came home! Let me ask you a question, readers! Would you prefer being scolded by four adults for two-three hours or by two adults for 24 hours straight? A conundrum, isn't it? Let me know what you choose!
That night, there was a birthday party organized by Ativna's parents. It was probably pre-planned because given the events of that day, it's highly improbable that the party was planned at that very day. Her friends and acquaintances were present for her birthday and she publicly bitched about Leo in front of her friends and the girl gang sympathized with her and said that it was all Leo's fault. Leo's trusted friend was present at the party as an acquaintance and overheard everything!
One month later, Ativna confessed her love for Leo. Xp
