“And we have a right to do what we want in our home, too.” Steve stressed the word ‘our.’ He and Hung had been living together since they were...freshmen. I only moved in with them a year ago because they had a room available for cheap, and it was on the bus line to school. In spite of paying my share of the rent they still looked at me like a guest whose presence they merely tolerated.“Fine,” I relented. “Just, can you please try to be a little quieter?”“Alright, Len,” Hung agreed. “We’ll try. Aisa kuchh nahi hai. Kal raat Tapu ko bukhaar aaya toh maine usse dawai di aur uske saath so gayi.”“Achha aisa hua, main toh kya kya sochne laga tha.”“Jethabhai, aise cheejo ke liye main aapke paas hi aaungi.”“Kab? Mera matlab hai kabhi bhi aaiye Komal bhabhi.”Tapu tab tak uth jaata hai, aur sharam ke maare apne kapde pehen leta hai. Jethalal jo Komal ke offer se khush tha, kehta hai, “Beta, Komal aunty ne mujhe sab bata diya. Chal tu nahaane chale ja.” Tapu bina kuchh bole waha se chale jata.

I'd be so proud of my girl.You and Sandi should practice over here a few days so I can see how wellyou two are doing. You could practice here on the weekend since I'll behome. Call Sandi and invite her over. She can sleep over too if youlike." Mom, I'm not sure." Oh stop being such a party pooper. Invite her over this weekend. Comeon, be a sport." Oh, okay. I'll call her later and see if she can come over," I. Stevens will be right with you."About 30 seconds later, Rob came bounding out of the kitchen and up to the front. "Steve!" Rob said. We shook hands and embraced. He said, "It's good to see you, pal. So, where is your date?" He looked right past Carrie and exaggeratedly looked around for someone else.I motioned to Carrie, "Well, who do you think this is?"He looked at her and asked her, "You're his date? I thought you were some supermodel who got lost and stumbled in here."Carrie blushed and I.
