When ever needed, the family takes care...always! Not for nothing it is said that the blood is always thicker than water!!
This is the story of an Indian middle class family. Kumar, aged forty eight years is an Officer in a bank. His wife, Sudha, five years younger, is a home maker. They have a daughter Smita (24) and a son Sekhar (23). Kumar, as the only son, inherited considerable ancestral property from his deceased parents, a few years ago.
As soon as Smita turned twenty one, they found a good alliance for her through their contacts and performed her marriage. Her husband, Ravi (31) is a Manager with a reputed MNC. Though he was seven years older than her, he was a good looking and nice person from a decent family and was considered an achiever, professionally. All these factors weighed in his favor.
A year after her marriage, Smita gave birth to a cute baby girl and everyone rejoiced. Her birth coincided with a promotion to Ravi at his Office and everyone called the baby a lucky charm.
Sekhar graduated in engineering and joined a big IT company a year ago. Kumar and Sudha were happy that both their children had settled down. However, the peace and tranquility was upset one day when Sekhar announced to his parents that he was in love with a colleague and wanted to marry her.
His parents were aghast. Sekhar was then just twenty two and too young to marry! So, they tried to reason with him. But, he was adamant. Then they asked for the details about the girl and he told them.
The girl was Aruna, the only child of her parents. Her father was a successful businessman and they were rich. She was also of the same age as Sekhar, intelligent and good looking.
Kumar and Sudha, always yearned for riches and they saw this as an opportunity for their son to get rich. So, all objections disappeared overnight and they quickly consented for the marriage.
Aruna's parents performed the wedding on a lavish scale, befitting their wealth. Kumar and Sudha rejoiced when everyone complimented them on their son's 'luck'. Immediately after the marriage, the newlyweds left on a two week honeymoon to Kerala.
It is time for me to give you more details about the newlyweds.
Sekhar is around 5'8" tall, fairly well built and handsome. He is fair complexioned and has a look of innocence which makes him look even younger than his age. He has a little above average intelligence, is industrious and loves his family. He doesn't smoke or drink...not even coffee or tea. He is mild mannered and often submissive. In short, he is what one would call, 'a very good boy'.
Aruna is around 5'4" tall and fair. She is slim, has very small breasts and an average looking ass. She has pretty legs and slim and toned thighs. Her eyes are big and black and her face is heart shaped. When she smiles her face looks pretty, but she rarely smiles!
Being the only child she was pampered and spoiled by her parents. However, she is very intelligent and always did well in her academics. But because she was rich and spoiled, she developed a big ego. Whatever she wanted, she got and she never took a 'no' for an answer. Only her parents and close friends knew how unpredictable and dominant she was and they did their best to cover up for her.
When Aruna saw Sekhar the first time it was in their office cafeteria. Aruna was with a couple of female colleagues and one of them saw Sekhar and commented, "Oh my God! What a cute guy! How I would love to get him!" Aruna was fascinated by the comment and looked at him. On the spot, she decided she would get him.
Immediately she walked up to him and introduced herself. He was awestruck because she came to him on her own! They hit off instantly...a case of unlike poles attracting. Aruna charmed him and they fell in love, culminating in their marriage.
The first two days of the Honeymoon went off well. Both were virgins and together they explored and experienced the basic pleasures of sex. There was no benchmark and they were happy with what they got from each other; at least it appeared so!
On the third day, they went out to a few tourist spots and returned to the hotel in the evening. They showered and freshened up and sat in their secluded balcony overlooking the lake.
"Let us have a drink. " Aruna said casually.
"You know I don't drink, Aruna," Sekhar answered, smiling.
"That was before marriage. Now, you should drink occasionally. That would be expected of us socially."
"I don't think it is necessary. There are many people who don't drink." He answered.
"I am not talking about others. I am talking about us. Once in a way, I love to have a drink and, as my husband, you will join me." She sounded angry now.
Sekhar kept mum and didn't answer because he didn't want a argument or fight.
"You don't drink even coffee or tea, don't you?" She continued.
"Yes, I don't and I told you this before, Aruna," He said softly.
"What do you drink then, for heaven's sake?" she was really angry and her voice was loud.
Sekhar was unhappy and quietly walked away from the balcony to their bed room. He thought that would calm her down. But, unfortunately, it aggravated her anger.
She followed him into the bed room and shouted, "Yes! You told me you drink milk...like a boy. You never grew up, didn't you? I bet your mother breast feeds you milk. You are a married man and you still want to drink milk from your mom's breasts?" She sneered at him with contempt.
Sekhar was shocked beyond words. Her anger, her contempt and her language so shocked him and he walked out of the bedroom in disgust. Aruna promptly locked herself in the bedroom. Poor Sekhar had to spend the night sleeping on the sofa in the living room...neither of them had dinner that night.
