For once I thought he would look up and say to me something. But I guess I wasn’t as important as the pile of paper which earned us bread and butter. It was that time of the year when he was very busy and me having holidays in the university had nothing much to look forward to. So I was going out, I was going to do something which would have been a taboo back in India but here in States, no one really cared. Even though I expected Sam would suspect a thing or two but it seemed he hardly cared.
I was wearing my favorite red top which not just made me look good but as Sam used to say before, even sexy :-) I was going to meet Henry once again. It was the third time in a week. I knew not what I wanted more, getting away from Sam or getting closer to Harry. But whatever it was I had made up my mind to enjoy myself completely.
She was going out again today and she was looking very pretty. But I knew not what to say to her. It had been more than a week since we had made love and now it seemed so awkward just to be standing in the same room with her. I was sure Tanu would understand me and my needs at the present hour. It was the busiest month of the year. I had to give a presentation and on this depends my next promotion. I hadn’t told Tanu anything about it yet but I was sure she would understand. This was third year in a row that I couldn’t take her out for vacations. Even though it’s known the amount of hard work and dedication I have to put into to live in such a costly flat and to afford the lifestyle we were now so used to. She was ready to leave and I didn’t even have the time to look up and say anything to her. I knew she was going to meet Kathy, her colleague and now her best friend from the university. Perhaps this was the fourth or fifth time she was going to meet her. I knew I owe her an apology for never being able to accompany her but I know she is a good wife and that she would understand my needs of the hour.
I was getting close to her each day. We were exchanging late night messages and were meeting now for the third time in a week. I knew she had a husband but I wasn’t really bothered about that. What I wanted was to have her below me, to push myself hard to her and to make her scream and moan in pain. I still remember when I had seen her in the campus of our university and the first thing that crossed my mind was who would she be in bed? Now my plans were finally working. It was not that I didn’t care about Kathy but her best friend seemed a better catch to me. I am sure to hit the jackpot the next time we meet for dinner. Let’s see what exactly happens this time. But I will have to make sure that my charm works on her and stays that long that I can feel her and make the wild and passionate love I had always dreamt of.
I didn’t know what I was going to do was right or wrong but I had known that my heart craved for more and that I wanted something more than just to be sitting around and waiting for Sameer to arrive from work and to warm his food. I had thought it was going to be the last time I meet Harry but he was just so nice and sweet to me. He was a true gentleman and I really liked the way he would make me smile trying to crack those silly jokes about random stuff. Kathy had not known anything about this and even I wasn’t really ready to tell her that I was kind of dating her fiancé. But I swore to myself that this is going to be the last time I met Harry this way. As soon as I reached home, as expected Sam wasn’t there and I was in no mood to cook. So I went to my room and closed the door behind me. I wasn’t quite aware of the fact that someone was already in the room.
“Ready or not?” that’s all I could hear and there were a pair of arms holding me so tightly that I could feel myself choke as if. I had never ever seen Sam so excited about anything. He took me in his arms and kissed me so passionately that all my thoughts melted that very instant. He had finally got himself the promotion which was due for three years. I could feel his happiness and I could see after all the hard work and the dedication did pay him well. I was happy for him but I didn’t know why I wasn’t happy about us?
It was the best day of the year I guess. I had my promotion in my hand and the one thing I wanted to do with it was to tell Tanu about it. I was sure she would have understood me and my happiness the best. So I rushed home but she wasn’t there. I guess she and Kathy must be having a good time. But now I was back and I could take care of her. I was patiently waiting for her to return home when I heard the door knob turn and open. She was back and I was so ecstatic that I hugged her badly and I kissed her so passionately that I could feel myself drowning away in that feeling which I thought was lost for sometime now. I was there with my wife celebrating the best day of my life and in her eyes I could see my happiness reflect. I had always known that she would understand me. She was my angel and I suddenly noticed that she was looking so beautiful and was in my favorite red dress.
She was not picking my call or replying to my messages. It got me thinking but I was sure she can’t really be serious when she said that we should end everything here. I was yet to creep under her skin. This cannot be happening with me. I must try and get her back and I will do it tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow seems promising and this time I won’t spare her. I will get all what I want it and no one can stop me now.
I couldn’t understand what had happened then but when he told me that he loves me I was once again in his arms and I knew nothing else. I had my Sameer back and I was happy. That was the best of night we had shared together. We kept on talking till late at night and for the first time I knew he was listening to me. I couldn’t stop myself from telling him everything. The random shopping with Kathy to even my recent fling with Harry. I told him everything and he didn’t seem to mind anything. And I was so happy to finally have him all to myself. It was the best of nights.
Harry, that bugger was after her. I had known it the day I met him and saw those mischievous eyes. But I should have been with her. It was my fault. How could I have missed that I needed to understand too that she might need me?
I cannot forgive that son of a b***h. how dare he come like this and charge me? Kathy, that stupid girl, believed her best friend over me. I wish they all go to hell. Now I need a drink badly and I guess I must call up Martha for a meet.
