Adultery The Possession

[Henry]

After finishing the kitchen work and wiping her wet hands with a towel, she said to her son---Are you still watching TV? do not sleep? It's eleven o'clock at night!

Santu said---I am falling asleep. Good night, Dawa uncle.
Seeing his dada(elder brother), Antu also said---Good night uncle.

Soma prepared their bed. They went to sleep. Soma entered the bathroom and freshened up. She wore a blue cotton homely saree with black blouse. Her hair is braided (beni).

After freshening up she saw Dawa Sherpa sitting in the living room still watching TV. Soma said with a shy face---You won't go?

Dawa said---If I had to go, I would have left long ago.

Soma turned off the living room light. Now only the Dim light is on. She came and sat on the sofa with Keeping distance. She said---What have you been watching on TV for so long? You can really like my two sons! The animals of Discovery Channel all day long.

Dawa said---If you want, I can start right away.
---Dhat! They are still awake.
---Hmmm. If the children do not sleep, Mom and Dad can't have sex. So waiting.

Soma laughed, but also scolded---Shut up! You are not their dad.

Dawa said with a serious face----I know, I am not their father. Not so lucky for a poor watchman like me. But I see them with fatherly eyes. They are like children to me. As my Keshvi is to me, so is Santu Antu. I miss my daughter.

Soma became emotional. She said---How is Keshvi? I heard your mother is ill? You will can call them from our telephone.

---What if you had a telephone here? Our only telephone booth there is Manebhanjane. If they come to the booth, they can be contacted by calling. Besides, Kesavi is now at his father-in-law's house.

Soma asked---Are Kesvi's in-laws good?

--Her father-in-law was a special friend of mine, though much older than me. Now he is dead. My son-in-law is a good boy. Now they live in Gangtok. My son-in-law works as a tourist guide there.

---However, the girl is very young. She could continue her studies.

Dawa smiled and said---How far can children of poor people like us go by studying? But my son-in-law said he will let her study.
