BASANT CONTINUES ........
The morning was bright and shiny when I opened my eyes. I took some time to get oriented. Then I panicked because I heard voice of Giridhari down in the kitchen. I heard his laughter and felt relieved that he was not angry, meaning there by, he was not aware of what happened in his house last night. Good for everybody.
I came down to kitchen and was immediately greeted by Giridhari in a bear hug. Manjula was stoic, butter would not melt in her...her... let us say chut. Poor Bahar. She could not help herself from blushing. Giridhari was quick to notice it and immediately asked, "Little Flower, you look very beautiful this morning especially when you blush. What is the secret? Did you meet with your lover in your dream?"
I plunged in before she opened her mouth, "Of late she is seeing interesting sort of dreams, juicy dreams." Bahar felt more bashful and did not answer.
Giridhari asked me, "Doctor Saheb, how are you? How is the study going on??"
"Everything is o.k. I did not hear you coming in last night."
"I know. It was Bahar who opened the door and she told me that you two had been playing tash (playing cards) with Manjula till late and you were sleeping when I came. Ordinarily I would be in the fields by this time of the day but today I have been waiting for you to wake up."
I really needed to talk to Giridhari regarding the discord in their married life brought in just by an unconfirmed rumor. A day with him in fields would give me ample opportunity. Hence I said, "I would like to accompany you to the fields, if you don't mind. Can you wait a little longer? Let me bathe and change clothes."
" I cannot wait, as such I am already late. The laborers then would disperse. Tell you what, you come with me and take bath on the well like old times. Remember?"
"How could I forget? Bahar, would you get my clothes from our house?"
Bahar wanted to accompany us. She said, "Can I come with you?"
I said, "Not today. Today we gents do some private talking there while you ladies do yours here, right Bhabhi? May be tomorrow we all four will go there."
Giridhari said, "You don't need other clothes, come on let's get going."
All through out Manjula was silent. Giridhari did not even glance at her before departing. There were tears in her eyes.
Giridhari had a 30-acre piece of land couple of miles from the village. He had planted fruit trees of different types. They were keeping him busy year round and making lot of income too. Deep down, away from the road there was a big well, ever full of water. Giridhari had a pump installed to lift the water. Near by there was couple of small simple cabins, a storage area and a shed housing ten cows. The place was cozy and comfortable. That is where we went and spent the whole day.
We talked about everything under the sky as we had done before. I asked him casually, "When are you going to father a baby?"
"I don't know. Not in the near future."
"Why? Don't you fuck Bhabhi enough?"
His face flushed, he could not speak. Hurriedly I explained, "Oh, sorry that I butted in. It is you personal choice, I have no right to interfere."
Now he lost his temper. He said, "You fool, you have all the rights as far as I am concerned, In fact you are the only person and you very well know it. Yet you are talking like this?"
I could not help but smile at his out burst. I said, "I am sorry I misunderstood you. But the question stands, do you fuck Bhabhi enough or you have found a side kick?"
"Talk about you first, how many nurses you have fucked by now?"
"None. I have not tried yet. And all nurses are not 'chalu'(of loose character). Now don't evade my question, answer me."
"Yaar, mein sara din khet men majuri karata hun. Sham ghar jata hum tab itana thaka hua hota hun ki nind ke siva or kuchh chahata nahin hun. (Friend, I labor here in the fields for the whole day. Evening time when I go home I am so tired that I don't want anything but sleep.)"
With a serious face I said, "Giridhari, mein tujhe pahachanata hun. (Giridhari, I know you very well.) Out with it. What is going on between you and Bhabhi?"
"O.K., o.k.. I hate that slut who cheated me into marriage."
The dam burst. Having started he could not stop. He told almost the same story as Manjula did. We talked back and forth and I was in the end able to convince that the guy who started the rumors was a seasoned liar. Giridhari was calm enough to listen to my arguments and agreed to try to make up with Bhabhi. I was happy with the outcome and in light mood told him, "And you know? If you do not fill up her chut somebody else is sure to do it."
"I would first kill that guy and then her too."
I had no doubt about it. I smiled and asked, "What about me?"
"What about you?"
"Would you kill me if I ....."
"Oh, you are an exception. No I would not kill you. I will wait till you get married and then fill your virgin bride's chut in retaliation."
"And if my bride is not a virgin?"
"All the same I would see that my lund visits her chut before yours."
"I will make arrangements so that you can do that. I will marry a girl who agrees to be first fucked by you. How about that?"
"It is music to my ears running down to my pecker. But hay, wait a minute, why this talk? You, ...you .... Bahenchod .... Tu ne kya kiya kal raat mere ghar men?" (Sister fucker, what did you do in my home last night?)
"Kuchh nahin, kuchh nahin. (Nothing, nothing). I .... I ... really became bahenchod."
He took some time to understand. Then he was surprised and said, "You mean, really you did Bahar? You scoundrel, how did you manage it?"
I had to admit sooner or later, so why not now? I said, "Yes, I fucked Bahar. I fucked Bhabhi too. But don't take it out on her, the fault was mine and Bahar's."
