Hi friends and this is Deepak and this story happened long back but still fresh in my mind. I am originally from small suburbs of Mumbai. Approximately 2.3 hours away from Mumbai city. My dad owns a small shop in our town and mom is housewife.
It all began when I completed my 12th from our local suburb college and secured 90% in 12th. I was 18 that time. I decided to go to one of the top colleges in Mumbai and due to my high percentile even I got into one of them. But now question arises how could i travel from my home to college daily?
It was almost 2.5-3 hours daily single journey. My mom suggested if we can ask her sister who lived in Mumbai about this situation. Because mom's sister - Radha aunty and Ramesh uncle had a very nice flat in Mumbai just nearby from my college when Ramesh uncle and Radha aunty came to our house to congratulate me they realized our problem.
But Ramesh uncle told my father why are in worries Deepu's father. Deepu can surely stay with us as long as he wants. It's our pleasure to help such a talented boy like Deepu and anyways our house has extra empty bedroom where he can easily stay and even me too due to my merchant navy job most of the time stay away from home.
So Deepu can easily accommodate in our house! My mom dad overwhelmed with his and aunty's response. We all were happy around one week before college start date I went shifted to Radha aunty's flat in town. Radha aunty and Ramesh uncle were very pleasant couple. They had 18 year boy who used to stay in convent school hostel away from the city and a recent 9 month old baby.
I once heard mom was talking to my father how after so many years Radha aunty gave birth to a child again. Radha aunty was younger to my mom and was approximately 47 years old. Their son Vikas used to come to visit them only in summer vacation in May each year. I think maybe they must be missing him hence uncle aunty readily asked me to stay with them.
They were treating me just like their son. After just two-three days uncle went on his job and told us that he will now return only after a month. It was June's second week and even my college started. It was a early morning college from 7 am till 1 pm.
Radha aunty was very religious and traditional person. Despite living in a cosmopolitan city I have never seen her wearing any modern cloths. She always used to wear descent sarees even though she was into her late 40's she looked beautiful.
Naturally tall she had a decent body structure and her face was very beautiful and fair. I have never seen her without her Mangalsutra,Bangles and sindoor in her hair partition. Always polite and smily I always felt like she looks like one the goddesses from mythological TV serials.
Her overall personality was absolutely respectable. Most of the time in house she either used to do house chores and taking care of her newborn baby or doing religious enchanting in front of god. When I used to come home from college in the afternoon we used to have lunch together.
Days were passing pretty quickly and now my schedule was just set perfectly. July started and monsoon started bursting heavily. One weekend climate remained wet and humid. On Monday early morning usually i took bath and came out and started looking for my under wear.
I found all my under wears are still wet. I just got bit confused as i had to attend practical exam that day. Radha aunty already freshened up by that time and was doing religious prayer that time.
I always used to appreciate that no matter what she always used to wake up at 5 in the morning and used to spend 2-3 hours in prayers. Somehow aunty saw my confusion and she stopped prayer in between and asked "Deepu beta what happened?
Why are you not getting ready for college? I replied Aunty problem is that my all inner wears are wet Aunty replied "Oh , this hell monsoon wait let me check if i can find your uncle's under wear and she broke her prayer in between and went to bedroom.
