Coffee?
Later
Didn't get enough sleep?
But you still woke up before the alarm
And now you don't feel like going to work
Wow
Genius
The quota for today is over
Really? I didn't know we worked that way
I thought doctors go by prescriptions
Yes, even if they are not 'real' doctors, right?
When did I ever say that?
Never
Only always
I really don't feel like going to work today
Then don't go
I wish
What difference would it make?
Really?
At worst, our landlord will kick us out
Yes, that's it
We'll default the loan on the car
Ya
We'll be homeless and hungry
That's it
But in the company of Dr.Meghna, PhD in Natural Herbalism
It would be fun to play hunger games in the forest, right?
Really?
Ya, absolutely
But then, you can't eat anything without my permission
Have we eaten anything without permission?
Thanks
You're welcome
Oh?
Well I figured now people won't ask you how your weekend was. They will know that Dr Wilderness had a wild one
Sounds like the title of a B-grade movie
Isn't that how our weekend was?
You know, that was actually a good idea. Next time you're headed home, I'll give you a nice hickey on your back
Save your mum the trouble of asking 'how is that girl doing'?
Challenge accepted
Let it be, I know you well. You'll be eating your words...
Or giving you another hickey
Such a cartoon
So, looks like you had a wild weekend mm?
Yep
What?
Oh, the pot calling the kettle black?
Are you the chief of the moral police? Please tell me what my crime is?
Would you care to tell me what I've done wrong?
Of course, how would you know what we lesser mortals suffer?
What are you going on about?
You don't even realise how lucky you are Meghna
He's an artist right?
He must be so imaginative in bed as well?
Dr Pallavi you are forgetting your basic science
This is just a result of a small superficial blood vessel bursting
And I have sensitive skin
That's all
My God
You have to bring science into everything
And what about when you
Hi. What's up?
Sorry, I forgot
Don't worry, there is time still
It's just so that I can review everything after it's done
Yeah, can we do this tomorrow after work?
Sure
And...I'll drop you home afterwards
I owe you one
Sounds good
No
When did I say anything?
And my hickey has nothing to do with Kartik being an artist
Ok fine, I give up
No one can win an argument against you
Seriously
And anyway
Your artist does not have very sensitive skin
Come over, inspect him
Meghna, you really are too much
That's the way
OK
Pallavi is so annoying
What has she done now?
I think she has a mini-crush on you or something
Bullshit
She does not even know me
Oh no. She knows you more than you think
For example, she was telling me today how good you are in bed
What?
That's the inference she made
That you are an artist
you must be so imaginative
so good in bed, baby
And hence this hickey
Seriously?
What kind of talk is this?
Exactly, right?
I mean it's just a hickey
It's nothing more than that
Ouch
That hurt
Drama queen!
She's a bloody scientist
She should know that there can be no one more imaginative than that
Are you serious?
You are really complicating things
It's these small things that really add up
Remember Anand?
Who, Mr Bangdu from college?
Very funny, his surname is Bangaru
Anyways
When we were dating
I remember this one time he gave me a ginormous hickey
It got me in trouble
So?
So don't you get it?
It was back in college
It was a massive hickey, right at the nape
And I was called in to see the Principal
A lot of students thought it was a tattoo job gone wrong or something
And I'd coolly gone off to college
Now that I think about it, even if I'd seen it it's not like I would have hidden it
Anyway, the point being the hickey was not a reflection of how good he was in bed
I mean no offence to him
But it's just a bizarre connection
That's why I'm feeling annoyed
Baby?
I'm going to make some coffee for myself, do you want some?
No
You are going to work at night again?
That's how we artists are
Artist!
I'm off to bed
Really tired
Come to bed soon?
Good morning
No matter how early I wake up, by the time I finish my coffee it's time to leave for work
I really want to spend time with you
And the state of my hair!
And of course, now where is my watch? Why do things have to disappear in the morning?
Also, felt like breakfast so made something special for you also. Don't forget to eat
Ya
Oh also, I'll be late today. I have to help Anand with his thesis
Anand, who?
Anand? Ranjan? My colleague?
Oh. Ok. Sure
He has some problems with seed sampling so I'll help him. Ya?
I'll see you
Yep, see you
Have a good day
You too
So here we are
Thank you so much
You are most welcome
No first you helped me with my project and then you had to come all the way here to drop me
It's OK
It was my decision to stay in the wild
Karthik!
I don't feel like going to work
