Adultery The Possession

[Henry]

In the distance a teenage girl stands holding a hurricane light. She wears a thick winter jacket, a woolen cap on her head. Her appearance is exactly like Nepalese girls but the eyes are not like Nepalese. Her colour of the skin that can be seen in the hurricane light is yellowish like that of Nepalese. There is a sweetness in her face. The girl shyly said---Raju bhaiya, where are you going at night?
Raju immediately said---Keshvi?
---Yes. Raju bhaiya. Dadi sent me. It seems that someone is stuck in the forest so late at night, so Dadi said to go and see.

Immediately everyone got strength in their chests. They started walking behind the girl with the curve of the road. A small wooden house is visible in the distance. The house is similar to the wooden houses of Kalipokhri but not as advanced. Instead, the impression of poverty is in the whole house.

the girl was shouting 'Dadi..Dadi' in front of the house. An old lady opened the door. The old woman's face was clearly visible in the hurricane light, and it was clear that she was quite old. Her skin of the face is wrinkled. She wearing a Nath like married Nepalese woman and wear a light winter clothes. But what is surprising is that this woman's eyes are not like traditional Nepalese eyes also. Moreover, the woman is quite tall. Although her shoulders are slightly nubbly due to age.

Raju said with a smile---Dadi?
The old lady could not recognize it in the light and darkness and said---Who?
---I am Raju Sherpa. Son of Jaggu Sherpa.
---Oh, Raju. come, come.
The old woman opened the door. She said again---Why did you go out to do in the cold at night?
Behind Raju then Subir and Soma are eager to enter with their sons. They want to escape from some kind of cold. Raju said---Dadi, I took the tourists. It's late on the road.

The old lady now looked at Subir-Soma's family. She said---Have you come from Kolkata Sab ji?
Subir said---Yes. Thank you very much.
The old woman smiled and said---Gorkhas never let their guests be in danger. So nothing to be thankful for Sab ji. let's come, bring the kids in first.

As soon as they entered, they realized that it was very hot inside. quite comfortable, A lantern hangs on the wall. Their shadows are clear in that light on the wooden wall.

The house has two rooms. Two beds in two rooms. With a small kitchen. The girl Keshavi put the water on the small wooden oven. The old woman said---Sab ji, we are poor Gorkha people. The night will be difficult for you.
Soma said---We are really grateful for the help you have given us in this day of trouble. However, your house is very beautiful.

Soma began to see this small house used by hill people. She feels great. By that time, the old woman had given two big cups of hot milk of yalk to Santu and Antu.
Then she said---Madam, would you like to have tea?
Soma nodded. Raju started to warm his hands and feet in the burning heat of wooden oven. And he said---Sabji, you also take the heat of the wooden oven. You will be feel very comfortable.

That was exactly what Subir wanted. He is always afraid of cold winter. He said to Soma---Do you want to warm up also?

Soma, however, removed her socks and gloves and cleaned herself in hot water. She freshened up and sat next to Subir sipping the steaming hot tea.
The girl named Keshvi is a teenager. Talking to her, it was found that she is a 11th class student in Manebhanjan School. In fact, she is the granddaughter of this old woman.

The old woman said----this girl is my only support.
My beta Dawa works as a forest guard. He is actually a watchman. Our family runs by his income.
Subir said---are you Gorkhas?
---Yes Sabji. My name is Shanta Sherpa. My husband name Bahadur Sherpa, my son Dawa's original name Tej bahadur sherpa. We are Gorkhas and Sherpas. Raju's father Jaggu was like my son. He is one of my brother-in-law's son.
Subir said----You don't look like Gorkhas at all.
The old lady smiled, said---I am actually from Jalandhar, Punjab. My father was Sardar. He was a farmer in Punjab. My husband Bahadur Sherpa worked as a watchman there. We got married there. Then I moved here with my husband.
----That's why your height is higher than normal Gorkhas.
---My beta is also tall. He was taken for military training, but not given a job because he did not have much education.
In the middle, Kesavi said---Dadi, what should I cook?
The old woman said---Do you eat roti madam?
Soma said---Yes we eat. Shanta ji, no need to call me 'madam'. My name is Soma. You can call me Soma.
----Soma is a very good name for you. Goddess Durga has a name.
Subir asked---Are you Hindus?
---Yes. However, there are many Hindus among the Gorkhas, and many are Buddhists and Christians. Hindus are more in Tunglu. Both Hindus and Buddhists in Kalipokhri. Yes, we also go to the monastery, we also go to the temple.

Soma liked talking to the old lady Shanta ji. They talked for a long time sitting on the edge of the heat in the primeval atmosphere of the Himalayas on a winter night. At night they had dinner with roti and a curry of vegetables. Shanta ji was left One room for Subir's family. In another room, the old woman slept with her granddaughter Keshvi. Raju is lying on the floor in the kitchen.

Subir is lying down. Both boys are tired and fell asleep. Soma said lying next to Subir, burying her head in Subir's chest and said---Tell me is it not a strange atmosphere?
Subir pulled Soma to more closer and said---It is very romantic. do you know what should we want in this strange environment?
---What?
He hugged his wife more closely and said--Sex!
Soma said shyly---Dhat! not here, You see two boys sleeping next to us. And Santa ji and Keshvi are also lying next to that wooden wall. Are you became mad?
Subir said---but really i want that?
---Nope. None of this will happen here.

They kissed. That kiss is very gentle. They woke up early in the morning. Just like how Soma wakes up daily first in Kolkata. But Soma woke up and saw a different image today. Before long Shanta ji, Keshvi and even Raju have woke up. Subir, Santu and Antu are sleeping. Soma woke up the boys first. Then called Subir. After the snack, they said goodbye to old Shanta Sherpa and Kesavi. Soma wanted to give them some money before leaving. When Subir went to give it, they refused to take it. Soma thanked them. She said---if you come to Kolkata, you will come to our house.
She gave the phone number to the girl.
