She wasn't sure if it was reality or a dream. She had been woken up in the most pleasurable way. It was unusual. In fact it has never happened before in the time that they were together. She had never experienced these feelings before. This kind of pleasure was foreign to her. For her it had always been a chore. She did it because it was expected of her. And usually he was oblivious to it. His need was all that mattered. And once his need was met, he would just fall asleep. For this she was usually glad. She was also very glad that it was over so quickly.
But this time was different. She had been very tired. As usual she had to do all the work around the house although there were servants as well as other female members of the house. Her husband had been away on a business trip. She loved when that happended. They were already married for 5 years but she still couldn't stand him. He was 25 years older than her. He had been a rich widower and she was from a poor family. She was pretty and fair and her parents had been too happy to "sell her to the highest bidder". She had been brought to this house by her husband. She was only 20 when they were married. He had 2 daughters of 24 and 22. And his sister was living with them as well. She was the head of the home. She made Aarti's life a living hell. She was their slave. She had to do everything for her sister in law and step daughters. And they complained to her husband about her constantly, bringing his wrath down on her. More than once she was beaten for things that she was not guilty of. In the 5 year of marriage, whilst enduring his lecherous advances, she was still not pregnant and for this she was also punished. She really wished that she would fall pregnant, just so that she could have someone of her own. .
She was disappointed when she woke up and felt someone get into the bed. He must have returned earlier from his business trip. All she wanted was sleep. She had been working and running around from the moment she woke up that morning. She pretended to be asleep. But as usual that didn't worry him. But this time, instead of just turning her around, discarding the necessities, then mounting her grunting while she just prayed that it would be over quickly, he moved her hair away from her neck and started kissing her there. She had he back to him, she stiffened in surprise and then the sensations she felt took over as he nibbled at her ears. She let out a moan. Her body shivering. He lifted her nightgown and started kneading her breast and then he took her nipples between his fingers and rubbed the already hard tips. She found herself arching he body to the back into him, her bottom against his hard erection. Again she gasped. She heard him moan in her ear. He pulled her closer to him, she wasn't sure if she was imagining it but he felt different, smelt different. He was already naked and he removed her panties. He started exploring her most intimate part, making her writhe in pleasure. Then he moved under the sheet and his mouth gave the most intense pleasure she had ever experienced. Till eventually she experienced the most amazing feeling she had ever felt. He body was still shuddering in pleasure when she felt him enter her from behind and he started thrusting. For the first time did not want him to stop. For the first time she participated, meeting each of his thrusts. His fingers started to massage her again, his thrusting not abating. And when she was again reached her point of bliss, he let got too.
He held on to her. They were still entwined. It was still pitch dark and she didn't want to turn around, she didn't want to talk. She didn't want to break the spell. And if it was just a dream then she didn't want to wake up.
Too soon her alarm went off. She woke up, and first she was surprised that she was naked. Then she remembered what happened. Instantly her body reacted. She pulled the sheet over her covering herself. She noticed that he was not in the bed anymore. Normally he slept till much later. Especially since he must be tired from coming home late and what happened after. She blushed. She remembered that she has woken up, still feeling him inside her but he was also sleeping, partially on top of her. She was aroused again and moved slightly against him with the desired result. He started moving inside her as before till both of them once again fell asleep tired and quenched.
She got up and showered and made her way to the kitchen to make breakfast. She still didn't see her husband. Even when she served breakfast he still wasn't there.
"Maya-jiji, where is Prashant?" she asked as she was serving breakfast.
"What do you mean? You know he is away. He will be back tonight only."
"Oh, but..." she started puzzled.
"But what, Aarti?"
"No, nothing." she said. It must have been a dream, she thought. Soon her step daughters came down to breakfast, with them was her the eldest ones latest boyfriend. She didn't have any time for him. He was obviously an arrogant rich spoilt brat. He didn't like her either. He judged her for marrying a man who was old enough to be her father without knowing the facts.
"Aartiji, Yash is here for breakfast too."
"Mansi, did he sleep over!?"
"Buaji, it was so late when we came from the club, but he slept in the spare bedroom." she said. But she looked at him angrily.
"Ok, how is your family Yash." The aunty was ok with that, because she wanted her favourite niece to marry into this prestigious family.
They continued talking as Aarti went back to the kitchen.
Finally the kitchen was clean and Aarti went back to her bedroom. She wanted to check something. She was very confused.
She went to stand in front of the mirror and removed her pallu. And on closer inspection she could confirm that the mark on her shoulder was indeed a love bite. She started shaking, She knew now it was not a dream but how. She sat on her bed, when someone from grabbed her from behind and started kissing her from behind.
She moved out of his grip and turned around.
"No" they said together.
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing in Mansi's room?"
"This is my room!!!" she was almost hysterical now as realisation set in.
He held his hand to his head.
"Last night ...? Was it you?" she asked.
"I thought it was her."
"I thought it was my husband. Oh no!! What are we going to do?"
"It was a mistake. I will tell your husband ..."
"No, no one must know. No one, do you hear me."
"Ok"
"Aarti! Aarti" she heard her Maya calling her.
"Coming May-jiji. Don't let anyone see you come out of the room. Stay away from me. Don't ever show your face here again."
She left him there as she made her way out of the room.
"Yes, jiji"
"I had call from the police. There was an accident yesterday. Prashant ... Prashant is gone. We have to go to Mumbai." she was crying.
"I will take you to the airport" she heard. She hadn't even realised that he was there.
"Thank you Yash"said Maya
She was shaken. Too much has happened. She felt herself losing consciousness.
When she woke up, it was only him with her. She was lying on the couch.
"What are you still doing here?"
"They all went to the airport. They asked me to stay here with you. They said you don't have to come. They will bring the body home."
"I am fine now. You can go."
He left and with everything that happened after, he was the least of her concern.
She was not a grieving widow in the true sense of the word. She went through the motions and she felt sad, like she would be sad for any other acquaintance.
As expected, he had left her nothing in his will. And his daughters and sister gave her a month to find alternative accommodation. She wasn't allowed to keep any jewellery or anything.
She didn't know what to do. She was so worried, she had gone for a walk and she found a restaurant. She sat down and only ordered some water.
"Hello, I'm Vidhi. Sorry, have a kept you waiting long? My kids are keeping me so busy. Can I order you a cup of tea?" The woman carried on. Aarti was confused. She didn't know what she was on about. but she sat down opposite her.
"You are prettier and younger than I expected." said the friendly woman.
"I ..."
"Sorry, I suppose that sounded judgemental."
"No"
The waiter came and she ordered tea for both of them.
"Priya said that you were so good with the children. I have been struggling for months to get the right nanny and it was like an answered prayer when I met up with Priya."
"I don't think..."
"No, no. I am a good judge of character. I can see that you are a kind and genuine person. I know that you are the best person for the job. I have to go back to work soon. My husband and I have a law firm. So I need someone I can trust with my children. We sometimes work long hours. And I feel I can trust you."
Her phone rang. After excusing herself she took the call. Then she took out a book and wrote down something.
"This is my address, telephone number and salary that we are offering. Please think about it and let me know. But I need to know quite soon. Getting a live in nanny is quite difficult.
"Vidhi-madam, I don't have to think about it. I want the job. But ..."
"Great" Vihdi hugged her. We can discuss everything else later."
A week later, she stood at the door at the Scindiya Mansion. Vidhi and her mother in law came to greet her.
"This is Vendant" she said hold a baby of about 6 months old. He was so gorgeous. Aarti took him and the she had an immediate report with him. Soon a little toddler came running, "mamma, dadi,"
"This is my little Vedhika."
They were both so cute.
"Come along, I will show you to your room"
It was very nice rooms for servant's rooms. Much better than in her husband's house. The children was still with their grandmother.
"Thank you madam. But before anything, I have something to confess. I was not the person that you came to meet that day. I tried to tell you but you didn't give me a chance. But I can do the job. Madam, I am a widow and I have nowhere to live. My husband's family asked me to leave when he died and that day I was just sitting there wondering what I am going to do. My own family will not take me back. You came as if sent by God. I need this job madam. After school I did 2 year free community course in early childhood and I love children. But I will leave if you tell me to."
"What is your name?"
"Aarti"
"Aarti, I know that you are not the person I came to meet. My friend Priya phoned me afterwards to ask me why I didn't pitch up. But you know what, I knew that that you are the right person for the job. It might be a case of mistaken identity, but as you say, I too believe it was a God sent. I did come there to meet you even though at the time, neither of us knew it. Thank you for your honesty. I still trust you with my children."
"Thank you madam."
Aarti had a perfect first day with her kids. She felt so guilty as she had to do so little. She worked less than when she was at her husband's house. There were servants and all she had to do was to look after the children. She was even invited to join them at the dinner table where she was introduced to the rest of the family.
"Pankaj, where is your brother."
"Probably with his latest girlfriend" laughed Pankaj.
"Namaste" they heard from the door.
"Aah, speak of the devil. Come sit Yash"
Aarti's head shot up and looked in his direction. It was him!
"Aarti, this is my younger b-i-l, Yash. He is hardly at home. Yash, this is our new nanny, Aarti"
They just nodded at each other awkwardly.
"I'm not hungry Ma. I had supper with Aaman and Rajesh. Is it ok if I go to my room to work?"
"Fine, beta."
She was so glad that he chose to do that.
They made sure they stayed out of each other's way. She went to the nursery about 2 weeks later and she heard Vedhika giggle. As she came into the room she saw Yash playing with her. You could see the love between the two. He would be a good father she thought.
"Mamma-Aarti, mamma Aarti" Vedhika shouted when she saw Aarti. Chachu play"
His expression changed immediately.
"Yes, poppet. I see. Come it's bath time now. Then story time and bedtime." She walked towards Vedhika but she stumbled over one of Vedhika's toys on the floor He jumped up and caught her. They stood face to face. Their lips almost touching. Everything else forgotten. Their hearts beating rapidly.
"Mamma Aarti fall." Vedhika said bringing them out of the trance. Aarti, made her way out of his arms.
"Yes, poppet. I fall. Let's go now." She couldn't get out of there fast enough.
"Chachu, you read story"
"Yes, I will come later, princess."
Aarti had tucked Vedhika in, as her parents had gone out of town on business. Normally Vidhi, tried to do that herself. Yash came in to read her story. Aarti wanted to leave but Vedhika wanted her to stay so she lie down next to her listening to his gorgeous voice. Closing her eyes.
He smiled when he saw these two beauties sleep together. He kissed Vedhika and he touched Aarti's cheek lovingly, he was about to kiss Aarti too, when he hear Vendant wake up. He rushed to the cot and picked him up. He didn't want him to disturb them. He took him out of the nursery and went to sit in the lounge with him. His bottle was ready next to the cot, so he fed him.
"Vendant, what is wrong with your uncle, huh? Why can't I get your beautiful nanny out of my head? I tried to stay away from her after that first night and then she ends up here in my home. She is driving me crazy. What am I going to do about her? You know I am even jealous of you, because you get to be held in her arms. I have never felt like this about anyone. Even that one night that we shared, it was like nothing I ever experienced. But you are too young for this discussion. But thanks for listening." He chuckled as she saw Vendant looking up at him as if he understood what he said. Soon, he was also asleep with Vendant in his arms on the couch.
Aarti woke up. She felt embarrassed that she fell asleep when Yash was telling the story. She was worried when she didn't see Vendant in the cot. Finally she found them asleep on the couch. She bent down to take Vendant from him. All of a sudden he grabbed her arm and he kissed her gently. When the kiss ended they both just looked at each other.
"I ... I came for Vendant"
"I know" he brought her head down again for another kiss.
"Yash ... Yash-sir, we can't" she said when they stopped.
"Why not. You are not married anymore."
"Please can I have the baby? I want to put him in the cot."
He gave her the baby and she made her way back to the nursery.
He followed her. As soon as he put the baby down, he embraced her from behind. He kissed her in her neck and nibbled her ear as he did that night. She was out of breath soon.
"Please stop sir"
"Don't call me sir. You don't work for me."
"But I work for your brother and his wife and they trust me."
"This has nothing to do with your ability to do your job"
"Nonetheless, we can't do this. That time was a mistake."
"A very enjoyable mistake." he whispered in her ear.
"Yash ... sir, please."
He turned her around.
"I said don't call me sir."
He took her lips in his again. This time the kiss wasn't gently. It was roaring with passion. Finally she came to her senses and pushed him away and ran to her room and locked the door. She sank down next to the door and started crying. How could she do this? He was her employer's brother. She had tried to forget that night but she couldn't. She constantly thought about it and dreamt about him. He was out her league and besides she didn't just want to be another notch on his belt. At least not knowingly. But she couldn't leave from here. She had nowhere else to go.
He went to his room. He was so frustrated. Every night he had to go to bed like this. He had even tried to be with other women but he couldn't. He only had her on his mind. He tried to stay away from her house. Then he couldn't anymore, he went to her house in the guise of visiting Mansi. But she wasn't there anymore and then he finds her in his own home that same night. He lied and said he had eaten but he had to deal with her presence before he could just sit down to dinner with her. And then he tried to avoid her, but he still couldn't get her out of his head.
Finally he gave into his urges tonight. He kissed her. She responded as he knew she would. Just like she did that night. He had snuck into the wrong room that night. But everything that night felt so right. More than right. He had never experienced anything like that. Until he found out it was her, he had considered proposing to Mansi. And when he found out that it was her stepmother he was floored. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't stand her. She was one of those typical women that allowed themselves to marry an old man for money. She was so beautiful, he was sure that she could have gotten somebody else but such girls only cared about money. But he often thought after their passionate encounter, that the old man was very lucky to have a wife as hot as she was. Hot in every sense of the word.
He had an idea. If she married the old man for his money and he knew from Mansi that she was kicked out with nothing, maybe he should would be his on a similar basis. Not that he would ever offer marriage to her.
