The opposites of the Kumars were the Desai family. The Desai's were a family of four. Mr Desai or Anand Desai was a high-placed executive in the company that he and his friend had co-started. He was married to Mrs Desai or who was called more commonly as Rima. Rima was four years younger than her husband, so she wasn't allowed to be very free handed in their house. Though this was changing as she was talking to the building owner's wife, Sarita who was a good friend of hers and constantly telling her to exert authority. Rima and her husband's two children were still in school and went to the same one in which their flat neighbor Mrs. Kumar or Anusha taught in. Their elder one was their daughter Ashmita and her younger brother, Kunal.
That morning Rima felt tired. Too tired. She hadn't slept the previous night properly, thinking constantly about some movie that she'd watched. Her husband's snoring, though she was used to it, was also not helpful. She had even got up to drink water and made two trips to the bathroom, in the middle of the night. She turned to her husband's side. He was still asleep. The time was 8 now. She knew her husband would get cranky if she didn't wake him up. So that's what she did.
Anand mumbled in his sleep. Then he slowly opened his eyes and sat on the edge of the bed. Her job done, Rima went back to sleep, turning sideways, her back facing her husband. Anand flung away the bedsheet from him. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at Rima. Her violet nighty had lifted up to her knees revealing her smooth, brown shining legs. Her anklets were reflecting the light, giving a glint. He glanced at the clock. It was 8:09 now. Still time, he thought. He removed his shorts and now completely naked, he moved the bedsheets away, tossing them on the ground as he neared to his sleeping wife. He stroked himself as he began to lift up her nighty. Rima shifted her legs, but still didn't wake up. With one hand Anand managed to lift it till her waist.
A good thing she wore no extra garment under it. Seeing her vagina and asshole, Anand crept to her and snuggled to her. He licked his fingers and lubricated her hole in her hairless cunt. Then he slowly inserted his hard dick inside her. His movement began slowly and the bed creaked in protest. His hand went in front of his wife's sleeping body and began to massage her clits, as he penetrated her from behind. After a few moments of this silent lovemaking, Anand felt Rima stir. He immediately rose on top of her and turned her flat on her stomach, his dick still inside her.
Rima was surprised, shocked and in ecstasy all at the same time. She allowed him to do what he was doing and placed her hand on his as both made slow and passionate love. Then Rima rose up and lifted her nighty and threw it before falling back to the bed. Anand grabbed her huge boobs and increased his pace on her vagina. Then without warning, Anand pulled out and inserted himself into Rima's ass. Rima cried out in pain, her voice was soon muffled as Anand covered her mouth. Her asshole was still dry and his thick cock filling her abruptly was sensational. He began to pound her ass in a frenzy and ignored her mute and muffled protests as he covered her mouth. He grabbed her breasts and crushed them in his palms as he furiously fucked her asshole. He was merciless. His balls continuously slammed against her pussy and the smell of sex, mixed with their sweating bodies was intoxicating. He soon erupted inside her and finished what he'd started.
Rima was unsure what to feel. She felt violated but at the same time she had also liked the way they both had made love. She had resisted for a few seconds yet felt no bitterness towards her husband. She turned her head sideways to look at her husband. He was watching her. When she met his eyes he turned away as if feeling guilty. She turned back. Her breathing was too fast, she had to control it. She saw Anand get up and glide away to the bathroom. Rima closed her eyes and turned, sleeping on her back, the tip of her hand gently easing down her rapid breathing by rubbing between her breasts. Anand came out and saw his wife. His beautiful, sexy and lovely wife. Whom he'd fucked the shit out. He went towards her and kissed her lips. Rima opened her eyes, her lips unresponsive. "Sorry" Anand muttered before dressing in a loose pant and leaving their room. Rima too got up and went to the washroom, a bit confused.

Kumar didn't hate his wife. But he found it difficult to love her. He sensed a distance being maintained between both of them. A distance that had developed without warning and he felt it was unfair that he was being pushed away from her life. The first times he ignored her cold looks, but later it became more unbearable. She had started to come late. She gave various reasons. None were closer to the truth. He felt he'd married a stranger, for even after 25 years of marriage he'd no idea who his wife really was, as a person. His friends called him lucky for having got a woman like Anusha for a wife and he didn't disagree. But now he felt bitterness just thinking about her.
He was seated in his office, his head buried in his hands when he saw the door to his cabin open. Standing there holding the door open was Lata, his junior by several years yet who worked at the same level of seniority as he did. Lata was all a man and a father like Kumar could ever hope for in a daughter. He always wished Priyanka too became like her. But recently Kumar was getting the notion that Lata didn't see him in the same light, rather she saw him as a colleague with whom she could be friends or more. Though it didn't disgust him, it certainly did alarm him and though he tried to keep respectful distance between them Lata always managed to find ways to come back. Like now.
"Is it your wife again?" Lata asked him, as she closed the door behind her and leaned on it. She had folded her hands and was looking at him expectantly. She was wearing a pink salwar and a white kameez. She never wore any bangles. Though she did sport a small ring on her finger. It made Kumar think she was married but when he talked to her about it she laughed and said it was from her childhood. She was always beautiful, but today looked exceptionally gorgeous in her outfit. Her hair was tied in a bun, another difference in her attire. Kumar always wondered how she ever managed to be here without any of the men making passes at her. But he realized that if that did happen she was not talking about it.
"Kumar, I'm talking to you." She said to him. Kumar grew flustered. He pretended to rearrange his desk although it was neat.
"I'm older than you by 20 years. Give me that respect at least."
"Oh! So do you want me to call you uncle?" she asked him, her head tilted to one side. Kumar gave up.
"What do you want?"
"Is your wife bothering you?"
"Yes! Goddammit, yes." He hadn't startled her, still he apologized for his outburst.
"Why don't you get a divorce then?"
"It's not so easy. And I don't hate her. I just don't understand her." He explained to Lata.
"If you don't understand her then it's very safe to say that your marriage is in a wreck."
"Maybe. Why does it bother you so much?"
"It bothers me, because I'm your colleague. More like a partner. If something bothers you then it affects the job and it affects me also, no?" Lata saw Kumar nod and felt sorry for him.
