"oh my Bollywood mother"
Mindy wakes up one morning to a loud knocking on the door and she goes to see who it is
"hold

there with a large suitcase and a bigger smile on her face
"SURPRISE MINDY! are you surprised, i know...you are. areh! come give your mother a hug!"
"....oh woo...mum...".
Mindy's mother walks into the apartment and makes herself at home.
"so mum... what are you doing here? you normally call to tell me your coming, even if it's a surprise"
Mindy's
mums stops in her tracks and looks at Mindy "i have some bad news" she
puts her hand on her chest "i don't...i don't know how to-MUM say it
already!" "your cousin Priya, she's getting married!!!! what was i to
do! my daughter is 33-" Mindy interrupts "...29 ma...when people ask, im
29."
"really...you're going to be those women who lie about their
age, how pathetic beta. i know how old you are, i had you when i was
23..."
"you had me when you were 30 ma!"
"fine, age is but a
number for me, I'm already married with children...children who won't
get married! your aunty Vina! that cow. you should've seen the way she
smiled at me when she told me of priyas wedding." Sheela walks around
the room, "when Mindy! when will you get married! are you single right
now? ...where did i go wrong" Mindy sips on her tea "ew ma, did you make
masala chai, please mum...try to refrain from being a pure indian in my
house! and no, i am not single!.... okay maybe i am!"
"what are you waiting for! you're 33 and wasting away! your eggs will dry up Mindy! remember what happened to cousin Mamta!"
"mum Mamta is married with two kids!?"
"so
she can't have anymore now-" Mindy interrupts "you're not making any
sense, plus i'm late for work!" Mindy grabs her bag hops into her heels
and runs out "okay mum...i'll see you later! watch TV.. i don't know go
rent a Hindi movie?" "MINDY! WAIT, i have some guys for you to choose
from" 'BYE MA!!!"
on the way to work Mindy calls her best friend Gwen
"my mother is ruining my life"
Gwen pauses "...oh hi Gwen how are you? that would be nice to hear once in a while! wait, your mom? she's here?
Mindy
takes a deep breath "she's here and apparently has some photos of guys
she wants me to marry! Gwen i can't just marry some random! i want my
love story! i want to be proposed at on the empire state building, i
want to be swept off my feet... christian loubotin feet might i add"
Gwen:"OMG
MINDY! Jeremy! why don't you get Jeremy to pose as your boyfriend! well
until your mom's in town! it's perfect, and when she leaves, you two
can have a messy breakup, it's perfect"
Mindy laughs "Gwen that's...actually not a bad idea... this, this is why you're my ride or die baby. okay bye I'm at work now"
Mindy marches up to Jeremys office and locks the door
Jeremy: "why are you locking the door...am i in trouble? have i mentioned you've been looking really slim lately.."
Mindy: "no you're not in- wait really? i look slim? I'm on this new diet....oh you don't care.. right"
Jeremy: "soo what can i do for you Mindy? and what do i get out of this?'
Mindy: "long story short... my mum's in town and i need you to be my boyfriend until she leaves...'
Jeremy: "boyfriend as in...we can have
Mindy:"
NO Jeremy, no not as in we can have sex! but I'll let you take my my
favorite patient Mrs Muller, i know how much you love those cupcakes she
bakes me"
Jeremy: "...i do love those cupcakes. fine. I'll do it also if you agree to get your friend Sarah to go on a date with me"
Mindy:
"fine! today after work you're gonna be my boyfriend, you're gonna drop
me home, meet my mum, ask her if she'd like to join us for dinner and
then wine and dine us.'
after work Jeremy can't be found and Mindy starts panicking
Mindy: "THAT ASS HOLE! he stood me up for our fake date!"
Jeremy calls Mindy
"Mindy
I'm really sorry! but my car got towed away and i had to go and sort
out the problem! I'm still here, they won't let my car go unless i buy
them all crispy creme donuts? so I'm buying some donuts... why don't you
ask doctor Danny! i have to go...bye" Jeremy hangs up and Mindy is
infuriated. so she sends him a text
"Jeremy you asshole, i hope
you're happy! my plan is entirely ruined! now i'll have to marry some
random guy my mum chose from India, and i'll be married and shipped off
to be a housewife in india! i hope you're happy! you're dead to me!
p.s. buy them the custard creme donuts, they're the best ones
you're still dead to me"
after this Mindy goes to doctor Danny and explains the entire situation to him.
Danny:
"Mindy look, as much as i want to help you, i actually have plans
tonight, i'm meeting this lovely girl who i ran into at starbucks. so if
you asked me some other time, i'd be happy to do so" danny walks away
without giving mindy a chance to say anything. Mindy, upset and defeated
comes home
mindys mum: "AREH MINDY BETA!"
mindy: "mum why are you so excited..."
mum: "i am just happy to see you child! so i was-"
before
mindys mum can finish, the door bell rings. mindy goes and opens the
door and to her amazement Danny is standing there with a box of
chocolates and red wine.
mindy:" danny what are you doing here...mum this is-"
danny:"
hello Sheela, or...i mean ..mum, i'm Danny, mindys long time boyfriend,
unfortunate we haven't met before, but atleast now we're making a start
right! how about you ladies get dressed and we go out for dinner! i
have reservations for us at lucias garden"
Mindy's mum: "Lucias garden! that place has such good Italian food! Mindy it is really good"
Sheela pulls Mindy away, "why did you lie to me! you do have boyfriend! wait until i tell your aunty, she will die!"
Mindy looks at Danny and thanks him.
I have not seen this but love Bollywood and this was so entertaining!! Will have to watch it now! Like how you captured what real conversation is like, and this between an indian mother and daughter, you did so well!!
ReplyDeleteGo Danny!! What a lifesaver!!
I liked the amount of dialogue in this, it made it read almost like a film script! Some punctuation could of made it easier to read but otherwise I liked the idea and would love to see how this ends up :)
