Her phone vibrated softly. She rose from her posture while keeping her eyes closed. She was tired from her overnight journey. I was sitting on the floor, focused on the ongoing meeting. As she rose, her clearly oversized gown couldn't keep up with her movement.
This took place when I was a 21 yr old inexperienced boy who had just started his job in the IT sector for an MNC. I stayed in Mumbai. Pune was my maternal uncle's home where we would always go on holidays. COVID was prevalent at the time and I had WFH which enabled me to be in Pune for a spontaneous get together with my family. The norms were relaxed for the first time since lockdown and hence it was decided that we would meet. This is a story of discovery where I explored a new dimension which I didn't know existed. That dimension revealed herself with a rustle and a soft moan.
I had seen my sweet aunty after almost a year. Yes her name was sweet as everyone has set her pet name as sweet. "Hey honey its been almost a year since we met", she exclaimed with slight dismay while embracing me in her arms. My senses picked up a strong stench as I hugged her closely as I was used to since I was a kid. But this time was different for some reason. I was slightly moved by her nectar and didn't want to let go. She had lost a lot of weight and her figure was of someone out of a fashion magazine. I felt soft globes on my chest which were squished due to her show of affection towards me.
She then met everyone else and finally went on about needing a change of clothes as she was drenched due to the long and arduous journey she had to make due to lack of a confirmed seat.
She took a bath and then went om to sleep in the inner room. I had to login for a meeting and found a place opposite to the bed.
