Present Day
Bobbi
Note left on Bobbi Kaur’s kathi roll:
Paranthas are universal, but also uniquely Punjabi. Sweet paranthas? Salty?
Deconstructed?
Bobbi Kaur was convinced that men-heterosexual Punjabi men-ruined
everything.
They were chaos creatures who turned leisurely Sunday brunches into
wedding work. Okay, if she was being honest with herself, she didn’t mind
the wedding work too much. Ever since her best friend got engaged, she’d
been dying to start planning Kareena’s special day. It was just that in her
expert opinion, weddings were a lot more fun without men.
“I’m really happy renovations for your mom’s house are coming along,”
Bobbi said. “But we’ve always had Sunday Bellinis at my apartment.
Besides, I have the whiteboard for brainstorming.” Not to mention, a fully
functional kitchen. She clutched her tablet to her chest before lifting one
foot then the other. Her sandals were probably not the best footwear for
exposed plywood flooring.
Kareena Mann removed a coffee cup from a carrier that she’d set on a
folding table and handed it to Bobbi. “Prem and I thought it might be more
convenient for everyone if you and Veera came to the house to talk about
the wedding. Then we can start ripping up the carpet. We’re going to do
hardwood throughout the first floor, and we need to finish before the
cabinets come in.”
Bobbi took the coffee and inhaled deeply.
After one tentative sip, then another, she looked over at the living room
that was now visible from the kitchen space. The wall that had separated the
two rooms came down the week before. Sad beige carpet remained with
divots where furniture used to be.
Change was good, Bobbie thought. Seeing her friend take her childhood
home in Edison, New Jersey, and move into the next phase of her life felt
special. Bobbi was still adjusting to Dr. Prem Verma, though. The former
TV doctor from the South Asian Dr. Dil Show had been the best thing to
happen to Kareena. Which meant that despite being a cis-het Punjabi man,
Bobbi would love him, too.
“Why don’t we get started while we wait for Prem?” Bobbi asked. “We
can pretend this is a formal client meeting and I can talk about how my
uncle opened an elite Indian wedding planning business twenty years ago,
then met my aunt, who is a retired florist, and how they raised me within
the business and blah-blah-blah, I’m here today.”
Kareena held up her palm to stop her speech. “A business that hopefully
you’ll be running one day.”
“I doubt that,” Bobbi said. Even though she’d desperately wished for
creative control. But ever since she lost the big wedding account almost a
year ago thanks to one unruly chef who refused the biggest paycheck she’d
ever negotiated, Bobbi’s uncle had seemingly lost faith in her ability to host
spectacular weddings. Now that her younger cousin was also in the
business, it was hard to ignore the fact that they were most likely training
her to take over.
