Re: Apoorva's Bordello
The reunion of two sisters
"There are two fridges in our kitchen."
"Yes, yes."
"One is never switched on, it's just storage space now isn't it."
"You know what scares me more. The second fridge is still referred to as the new fridge, even though it is three years old."
"Yeah! Like I asked mum yesterday to pick up the chocolate from the fridge, and she said which one, the old one or the new one!"
"Yea, I heard that!"
"I don't think that fridge is ever going to be removed. It would be considered as too much of a waste, it's a large fridge."
"Probably."
We pondered this for a few seconds.
She looked over at the door from the bed.
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"Go on then."
"Come with me, there was a c0ckroach there the last time."
I snorted. "You're the elder one here ya know."
"Still. Get up, you might as well get some exercise fatty."
I threw off the blankets and jumped up. We got up and walked towards the door. She reached for the handle, only to find -
"The handle's not here."
"Yeah, it fell off a couple of months ago."
"Oh. How do we get out now?"
"There's a technique. Hold the bolt," I said, pointing upwards, "With your right hand. Then hold the edge of the door, right there, with your left hand. Now give it a sharp tug!"
The door shuddered open. She smiled at me. "That's ingenius."
"Yeah. Like I said, there's a technique."
I checked the bathroom for c0ckroaches.
"You're good to go."
Two minutes later we were standing next to the door, staring up at supposed curtain hangers.
"You see that?"
"Yeah I see it."
"That was meant for hanging curtains."
"We never had door curtains."
"Exactly. Now this curtain hanging apparatus has just been here for a decade. It has never been used, and will probably never be used!"
I looked up at it, and then at the missing handle. "Not never. I mean, eventually the other side of this handle will fall off, then one day the hinges will rot off and the door will slam to the floor, and then dad will calmly hang up curtains there and life will go on."
"And then he'll say that was his plan along."
"Yes, yes he will."
We sighed and got back in bed.
"By the way, when did the mirror fall off?"
"When you all were in London. There was a storm."
"Ah. What I love is how the mirror has now been propped up on top of the faucets next to the sink, and there is no talk of reinstating it back on top of the sink."
"If there were no faucets, it would have probably been propped up on top of the toilet."
"Oh that sounds like fun. You could just turn around and check yourself out!"
"I don't know if I would want that to be an option for me."
"I worry that one day we'll be like them."
"As do I. Everyday."
