 M is for …
~Manorama’s Beauty Parlor~






Arnav walked down the stairs into the hall only to halt in complete surprise. In front of him, sitting all around the drawing room, were his AR models.

Talking and gossiping in those high pitched voices that made sure Arnav didn’t receive the silence he preferred early in the morning.

He approached his top model, Lisa and asked her grimly,” What the hell are you all doing here at 8 in the morning?”

Lisa gave him an incredulous look, as if telling him he was the last person to be asking such questions, but before she could respond, a different person replied behind Arnav –

“Maine bulaaya inn sab ko Arnav!”

Arnav swerved around, ready to blast the person who dared to disrupt his perfect morning, but stopped short.

For Manorama Mami stood in front of him - clad in around 50 layers of make-up.

Arnav gave her a once-over, before looking around, trying to locate Khushi for an explanation…. to no luck. Giving up, he turned back to Mami when she said excitedly –

“Arnav bitwa! I is opening a beauty parlor! ‘Manorama Beauty Parlor’ ”

“What The!” was the astounded reply Arnav managed to give her.

“What the mat karo Arnav! Ab hum sabki makeupiya karenge! Aur sabse pehle…. AR ke saare models ki makeupiya karenge hum!” were Mami’s parting words as she sashayed over to the models and started chatting with them.

‘Oh Dear Lord.’ Arnav whispered.
