Chapter 7

Chleo didn’t know what to expect that evening. Arjun had barely given her any details. She didn’t know how she should dress, or if she needed to bring anything. Arjun didn’t even tell her where they were going out for dinner. She decided to look presentable but not over the top, and she brought home a small bouquet of multicolored flowers.

It was 6:51 when her cab pulled up in front of Arjun’s apartment. She was in a long black dress with a loose fitting belt and nice gold sandals to match a gold head band that looked like something from an old Greek epic. Her hair was wild and curly around her head and shoulders and she covered herself up with a dark jacket. She told herself it was because it was getting cold, but she knew it was also because she wanted to appear presentable to his mother. She didn’t want to admit it, but she was still very nervous. She hadn’t met a lot of the parents of her exes, and since Arjun was the most important person in her life, she didn’t want to mess it up or embarrass him…or worse, embarrass herself.

“Hey. I’m here,” Chleo said to the small camera at the entrance. She heard a buzz and a click and she opened the door and stepped inside. Arjun lived on the third floor, and she hurried onto the elevator so that she could see him and finally meet his mother.

Chleo knocked on the door and adjusted her jacket. She knew she looked great, but she wished there was a mirror or a window close by for her to be able to give herself another quick once over.

The door opened a crack and a short woman [even shorter than Chleo herself] peered through the open crack. She squinted her eye as she looked Chleo up and down. Then she opened the door and turned around.

“Arjun! Your friend is here!” the short woman called. She was plump and wearing a white cotton blouse and faded blue jeans. Her hair was wrapped in a bun, with a few tufts at the front revealing some grey and white strands, and right above her eyebrows directly in the center of her head was a bindi.

This must be Arjun’s mother, thought Chleo. She had a very thick Indian accent, and she paid Chleo no mind after that quick look before opening the door. She had waddled back into the kitchen, where Chleo could smell something amazing cooking.

“Are you going to just stand there at the door?” Arjun’s mother called from inside the kitchen. There was no way she could see Chleo, but that was just how mothers were. “Come in, you’re letting in all the cold.”

Chleo stepped into the apartment and locked the door behind her. She was too nervous to move anywhere until she saw Arjun. Arjun’s mother called for him once again, but this time she spoke in Hindi. He replied in Hindi too and appeared from his bedroom.
