Seven Lifetimes and this one
Gomez was kind enough to stop at the playschool so she could pick up a sleeping Aadhya
She went up to her apartment after thanking him, unable to carry the heavy 5 year old
Hr phone had received texts from him
"Will you let me know when you get home?"
"Suvechha will you please let me explain?"
and a few others
She went to bed and stayed up all night, thanks to the Coke and to the kiss
She had not felt a man's body so close in a while, 4 years?
It felt good... it felt amazing... exhilarating to feel the pressure of firm muscles pressing down on her warm soft body
Those lips!
He was a consummate kisser, unlike Rutwik... who went all slobbery and icky.
The stroking of his tongue could give her an orgasm she was sure!!
Her core ached to experience such a fulfillment again
He loved her lips it seemed like to her, he stayed on them the whole time
Like he had wanted to kiss her for years?
Ha ha... yes... and he was your husband and lover for
Saath janma paryanta (seven lifetimes)
She laughed and cried in agony at that insane thought
"Swapna priyakara" (dream lover)
She had vivid dreams of being made love to, those dreams will now have a face...
The strong astringent scent of the after shave, the manly hold on her waist, firm and possessive
Possessive... hmm... he must be a very possessive man
He wud have probably killed anyone that looked at Nupur
Angreji chitrapaat...
Unlike Rutwik, that just packed his bags and went to his first wife
She tossed and turned
None of that diminished the fact that she had zero self esteem and felt discounted, and exploited.
Here she was, yet again, in the same situation
Sunday was somber, Neel called her thrice, between 10 and Noon
she didnt answer
She took the phone to the bathroom so Tai or Adhya wouldnt answer it accidentally
She made baingan and rice and dal, they ate at 2, he called her again
She cringed imagining what must go through his mind to call his direct report in fear, to keep matters hushed up
He must worry that I shouldnt announce his antics at work on Monday
He doesnt know I have been taken advantage of, so many times I have lost count
She called Varsha, letting go of the pride, the way Varsha said hello sounded exactly like Aai's and she wanted to hear that
Varsha didnt answer, she left a message
And took a well needed nap, when she woke to Varsha's call she was cheered up
"If I dont call you I never hear from you" Suvi complained
"Well, I havent been keeping well" Varsha grumbled
"What happened ?" Suvi panicked in Marathi
"Umm you know... nothing bad" Varsha dragged
"What? did u go to the doctor?"
"Jeez!! Dont turn into Aai... I am only pregnant" Varsha smirked
Suvi felt a pang of envy
Varsha's son was not even 3? she was pregnant again
And here I am being kissed by a boss, I would have been offered a huge sum to go to bed with him if I had stayed
But I escaped
"What? Are u still there?" Varsha scowled
"Yes, I am very happy for you... how womderful... but so soon?" Suvi blurted
"What soon? My son is three... its natural... we started having sex 6 weeks after he was born,
I cant seem to keep Kaustubh on his side of the bed, he is always on me" "Hungry Devil" Varsha pretend moaned
Suvi cringed, hating that self praise
"He wants sex and he wants kids, I think this is what I will be doing now, with no job" Varsha cackled
"Oh? U quit?"
"Oh yeah... I can be a sex slave or a company's slave... I choose to be the former" she giggled like a idiot teenager
"Good for you" Suvi agreed pleasantly
"Whats going on with you?" Varsha asked finally...
Phew!!
"Nothing! I mean job is great Aadhya goes to Apeejay School in NOIDA, she got admission there. So much competition, 1000s applied" Suvi spoke with pride
"I dont even know that name" Varsha dismissed
"U shud come to Delhi" Suvi invited "I have never seen your son"
"I havent seen much of Aadhya" Varsha said
"If Aai Baba were alive they would definitely bring both of us to Nasik every year" Suvi spoke eagerly
"I miss them" Varsha sounded sincere
"Mee too" Suvi finally began to cry
"What happened?" Varsha asked
"I wanted to hear your voice since the way you say "Hello" sounds like Aai" Suvi choked
"Hello?" Varsha sounded it out
The girls were quiet for the longest time
"Will you come to see me after you have the baby?" Suvi asked
"I will try Suvi. You take care. Dont do anything stupid" Varsha scolded
"I am trying" Suvi promised
"Some thing about the way you look or act... men seem to think, you are easy..." Varsha spoke passionately as if she cared
"Rutwik never forced me to marry him, I DID!" Suvi went on the defensive
"What an ass----" Varsha cursed
"I agree" Suvi nodded, "never again in this lifetime" she shuddered thinking of Rutwik
"I have nausea I am go... I have to go Suvi... will call you" Varsha said in a strained voice
