Adultery The Possession

[Henry]

Summer days are not so cold here. After breakfast they all went out, Santu, Antu, Raju, Soma, Dawa ji and Jackie. Only Ma Ji remained in the house. Everyone is wearing light winter clothes. Dawa Ji, however, is dressed in a full-sleeved round neck T-shirt and a Nepali cap. This round neck t shirt is quite old. Soma scolded while leaving---Don't you have something else to wear, a very old...

Dawa laughed and said---This is my mountain village. Here I will stay like this.

They climb the mountain towards Gairibas, Kali Pokhri. Met some village Sherpa men and women on the road. Soma noticed that these Sherpas were all poor. They either fear or respect Dawa Sherpa. One of the reasons for that may be Dawa has a long, powerful appearance, and a rough, angry personality. Soma, however, did not escape notice; One or two Sherpa women, however, came to Raju's ear and asked---Who is this woman?

Raju replied casually---Bhabhi Ji, Dawa bhai ka Bibi.
In this area, Soma's shyness, hesitation, fun and excitement to be identified as a Dawa's wife was a strange situation. She started walking side by side with Dawa Sherpa. Soma up to his chest near the six-foot tall man. Once in the middle of road, Dawa squeezed Soma's hand and taken to a ditch on the opposite side. Soma saw what beautiful little orange flowers. Fascinated, she said---Wow, what flowers are these?

Daba Sherpa said---We call these flowers here as Tintara. Do you want to take?

Soma said with a shy face----No, stay.

Dawa went down the mountain slope a bit. Picked up a bunch of those three-star flowers. He gave the flower bunch in Soma's hand and took a flower from her and stuck it on Soma's hair's khopa. Soma blushed and looked around. She saw Santu-Antu playing with Raju and Jackie a little far away. Raju is teaching them the game of 'Guli Danda'. And Jackie is taking the gulis thrown by them in his mouth.

Daba said---You look beautiful, ji.

Soma said---The flower is very beautiful. This plant should not be planted in the tub of the balcony of our house?

Dawa said---Don't know. Mountain flowers may not survive in the hot climate of Kolkata. However, if you want, I will take that return day.

Soma said---Look, a white stream is visible on the other side. Is that a river?

Dawa smiled and said---Yes. It is river. The name of that river is Srikhol. But we will not go there now. Now we will go to my cousin's house. Lunch is there. Then in the afternoon we both will go to that river.

Soma looked in surprise---just me and you?

Dawa pulled Soma closer and said---Yes. Only we.

Soma understood the intention of Dawa. She is sure Dawa will fuck her by the river. What kind of primal excitement started in Soma's mind. Dawa said---You and I will stay there under the open sky until evening.

---If someone sees?

---No one will see. Only nature will see us.

Dawa Sherpa's cousin Manu Sherpa's house is a little bigger than Dawa's. As soon as they entered, Manu's wife came out. Manu's wife's name is Shukna. After a while, Shukna got in touch with Soma. They became friend. Shukna has a four-year-old daughter and a nursing baby. Soma secretly told Dawa---If I had known earlier, I would have brought something for that children.

Dawa said--Here it is customary to give money for sweet to the children while leaving the guest. You can give it if you want.

Shukna said---Soma didi, did you get married in Kolkata?

Soma smiled and looked at Dawa ji. Dawa said---Yes. However, according to the Nepali tradition, the wedding will be held in the temple after some days.

Soma was shocked. What does Dawa ji say! With a dry smile, Shukna pressed Soma's soft little fat belly and said--How many months is going on, Didi?

Soma blushed in embarrassment. She said---No, no. I am not pregnant.

Shukna removed her hand. Nepali women in the mountains are rough and lean. Seeing Soma's soft, slightly fat belly in her forties, Shukna thought she is pregnant.

Dawa is also smiling at Soma. After lunch, Santu-Antu and Manu's daughter Rinki are busy playing with Jackie. Manu, Raju and Dawa ji are playing cards in the barandah. Shukna and Soma are talking inside the house.
Shukna said---You know, Didi, I have never seen Dawa Bhai's wife. When I got married, Keshvi was a motherless girl. Dawa Bhai has always been a tough guy. Once when a mountain lion attacked in village, Dawa Bhai alone chased it away with a stick.
