Aditi, Wife of Devkar

[ruby.bhatia]

Turning to Aditi he said, 'We were about to head for the bar for the usual beer after office, when Jai suggested we try out some thing different for a change. I then told my friends that my wife makes wonderful cocktails and invited them to come home along with me. They were a bit apprehensive at coming over without prior notice, but I told them that you wouldn't mind...'

'Of course not Honey!' It's good of you to invite your friends over. At least this way I can also get to know your friends... but I am not too sure if my cocktails will live up to your friends' expectations,' she smiled leading the guests inside.

Her Back was equally Sexier, while they were savouring her front.
The living room was tastefully done up. An old fashioned chandelier hung from the ceiling lighting up the central space, while oil paintings depicting mountains and rivers decorated the pastel walls. The dining table, book shelf and side tables were of polished mahogany. Three two-seater sofas were arranged in a semi circle around a glass centre table that which brought out the intricate designs of the hand woven Kashmiri carpet that lay on the floor. Arun and Jai chose the sofa in the centre of the semi circle, while Devakar took the one on their right. As the men settled down and took in the surroundings, Aditi excused herself to arrange the drinks.

She returned with a loaded tray. 'Let's see if you like my Pina colada...' she said and began serving cock tails to her guests. The low cut blouse

revealed a good bit of her cleavage and Devakar noticed his friends eyes stray on more than one occasion as his wife leaned forward to serve them. Placing a plate of fried-fish and white sauce on the centre table, Aditi settled down on the sofa next to Devakar.

'A toast to our friendship' said Devakar raising his glass.

'Cheers', everyone responded in unison raising their glasses.

'Ummm... it's delicious, said Arun', and raised his glass to Aditi.

'Yes! Lovely,' added Jai.

Aditi suppressed a giggle like a naughty girl. 'Actually, you should thank your friend here', she said pointing at Devakar. 'He's the one who briefed me on your tastes. I prepared your drink with Barcadi white rum and Jai's drink with his favorite vodka in it. So though the two pina-coladas looks the same, they have your favourite drinks as their base.'

'Wonderful!' said Arun taking big sips from his drink.



'I'm glad you like it. I have been hearing a lot about both of you from my husband so I looked forward to meeting you. When she had inquired about his friends tastes, Devakar had given an elaborate speech on the likes, dislikes and virtues of his invited friends, Arun and Jai. She had listened patiently and even made a few notes which would be handy in case she ran into her husbands best friends.




'I am told you like fish. Please try some... ,' Aditi got up
, picked the plate from the centre table and leaned forward towards Jai. Her saree pallu slipped a bit giving the men a generous view of her cleavage.
The men picked up a piece each admiring her assets. As Aditi turned to serve Devakar the guests noticed her bare back for the first time. The men looked again to make sure but other than her cascading hair, her back seemed absolutely bare.

They looked again, and could see her skin right from her shoulders to her lower back.
How could the Saree stay in place ? It was a puzzle.
It was only when she leaned forward to serve fish to Devakar, that her long mane shifted to reveal the secret of what held her blouse in place - a black string tied across her back!
Their hostess was indeed a very bold woman to be so enticingly dressed before her husbands' friends. They gulped down their drinks as they drank in the sight before their eyes.

Devakar deliberately brushed Aditi's breast while picking a fish and winked at her. Aditi smiled and winked back. She had just sat down on the sofa when she noticed their empty glasses. 'Oh! Your glasses are empty. Let me get the 2nd round', so saying she picked up their glasses and went to the kitchen.

Jai waited till Aditi left the room then he turned to Devakar, 'You lucky devil you have such a dish for a wife.'

'No wonder Devakar doesn't like to drink and ogle at girls at the bar,' added Jai making Devakar smile.

'I like ogling at girls but I also like sharing with my friends...' said Devakar.

Both his friends raised their eyebrows not quite believing what Devakar had just hinted at. Just then Aditi walked in with a full tray. 'Did I hear something about you guys ogling at girls?'

There was a sheepish grin on the face of the men as if they'd been caught red handed with a hand in the cookie jar. She placed a plate of lamb chops in the centre of table and went about serving the blue coloured cocktail. 'This one is called blue fantasy... I hope you like it.'
