Malini woke up stirring with a big smile on her face. She stretched and turned to see her husband still fast asleep. Archana was home. But Arun wasn't. A part of her was glad that he wasn't home. She felt like a bad mother to be glad for not wanting her son home for the holiday. But it didn't matter. She had a lot on her plate.
Kevin had set up a store a week ago and the business was going great. Taylor and Kenzie spent a lot of time at the store helping her out. They've eventually become a bigger part of the business, than she expected of the two women.
Kevin even told her a week ago. That he's going to personally review the success finances for the next couple of weeks before he takes her up to his investor. She wasn't sure why he'd want an investor when they'd just been running the operation on his store. When he proposed the idea of opening an outlet in the city, Malini was shocked beyond belief.
As surprised as she was. Malini wasn't sure, if she was capable of running an outlet in the city. She wasn't sure if she was capable. Madhan was sceptical about it as well. But he knew, his wife could handle anything that came between her and what she really wanted.
So, Kevin had Madhan's permission to have Malini spend multiple night at Kevin's place. So they'd 'work' out their current situation and help convince her, on opening the outlet in the city.
It didn't take long, but Malini put up quite an act to have Madhan believe that she wasn't interested. And eventually broke the news to her husband.
It was Christmas and Archana showed up and she was happy to see her daughter again. Lots have changed since the last time she visited. And from seeing her, it was evident, that a lot has changed with Archana as well. She was always a bold girl ever since she was a kid. But she seemed a lot bolder than she remembered.
Archana had completely changed her wardrobe. Her clothes had gotten a lot shorter. And despite the fact that it was winter. She chose to be skimpily dressed. Frankly, Malini didn't care. She's used to seeing a lot of girls' dress the way, Archana was. After all Malini did acted out herself when she was her age.
Malini remembered how she always spent more time with the boys and openly flirted around despite the strict home she grew up in. She spent more time with the boys than she did with the girls. Her experience, flirting only got better over time, meeting new boys. And thinking back to those times, she could only wonder, if Archana was the same. Or the least if she had a boyfriend.
She's heard stories from Taylor and Kenzie about when and who their first boyfriends were. And only assumed that since Archana grew up in an entirely different environment than herself. It was only obvious that Archana had a lot more freedom than she did.
But there was no point thinking about things she had no control over. She needed to focus on what she had her hands on. Especially the things she was good at.
Even as she worked on their big Christmas lunch she couldn't help but think about how everything in her life has changed for the better. From where she saw things. Everyone in her life were all happy with where they were. And for that moment, Arun wasn't on her mind, for some reason.
There was a knock on the door and she rushed to get it only to find Kevin. She smiled and looked over her shoulder cautiously and let him wrapped her arm around him and pressed herself into him. The two embraced in a warm welcoming kiss, which lingered a lot longer than needed. She broke free to the sound of her daughter coming down the stairs.
She continued with the cooking as she found Kevin and Archana in the living room. Madhan was nowhere to be seen. When she was done, she stepped into the living room to find Archana and Kevin. But even as she stood at the entrance, neither one of them even noticed her. And it wasn't until then that she noticed Archana's clothes.
She was wearing what seemed like a sweater dress that fit her frame tight. Reminded Malini of something she found when she was out shopping with Kevin. And she had on a pair of winter stockings that basically looked like pants. It wasn't until every time she moved, that it was visible that the stockings were just a little over the knees.
Malini didn't like the way her daughter was dressed in front of Kevin. And she didn't want to say anything given, the potential suspicion. Who knows what the girl would say when she gets angry. Madhan always said that she's more like her mother when she gets angry. But more of all, Malini was a little jealous. She hated the fact that Kevin was giving her all the attention. She was a little concerned, by the age. Malini was a lot older compared to the young and beautiful, Archana. And despite the fact that the TV was still on, Archana and Kevin were a lot more engaged in their conversation than the TV.
She frankly didn't like the sight of the two of them together. And so she took a step back, away from their sight and overheard their conversation.
"Well it's easy to suggest that when you're running a store of your own." Archana laughed. "Being the one, who's required to sit through the classes and study the years of advancement that's taken place over the years that lead to the current environment in which the business, takes place, is some seriously hard fucking work." She said.
Malini wondered when even she comfortable enough to talk to him the way she did. From having known them over the years, she's never once seen the two of them share a glance. She's barely even seen the two of them greet each other. And yet here they were. She was curious where her phone was. The last time she visited, her hands and eyes never left the phone and here she is, with her phone nowhere to be seen.
"Well, I don't know about any of that." Said Kevin. "But if you ask me. I'd say the development happened for a reason. Studying the process of how, couldn't possibly more of a waste of time. I mean I've been doing this for long enough that I know, that the only thing that matter to a business is making that sale." He said.
"True." Archana concurred. "But it's undeniable that some of the details are necessary for larger businesses."
"You're probably right." He nodded, "But I wouldn't know anything about that? I'm just running a store." He chuckled.
He chuckled and Malini didn't know what about that was worth chuckling.
"A very successful store, from everything that I've heard from mom and dad." She said.
"Well, I guess I do owe a lot of that to your mother." He said.
Malini smile to the very mention.
"My mom?" said Archana.
"Yes..." he repeated, "Didn't you know? She's started a small pastry shop at my store." He said.
"Really?" asked Archana sounding surprised.
"Yes."
"She does make the best cupcakes." She spoke giggling softly. "And that explains the change in her appearance." She said. "If she's going to hang around you all day, I'm sure she's gonna need to find more ways to impress." She giggled again.
She didn't hear anything from Kevin. Malini was a little disappointed but was understanding. She knew that talking about Malini to Archana in the flirtatious way would in fact make it sound creepy.
