Adultery A Swinging Odyssey by Pimanko-Completed

[Ramesh_Rocky]

When Aiko awoke, she was alone. She later found out the village's two guests had already started their trek back to their own home.

She saw neither Gerald not Pedro for a while, but when she did see them, she noticed they had cleaned themselves, put on their civilized clothing, packed their backpacks and re-applied the mosquito spray they had brought with them for the tour.

"Time to get ready, lazybones," Gerald said.

Aiko got up, grabbed her civilized clothes and hobbled toward the natural pool the clansmen used to wash up. She also took the can of mosquito repellent. She would need its protection in the trek through the jungle.

"You're walking kind of funny," Gerald observed.

"I'm sore between my legs," she replied. "You would be too, if you went through what I went through in the last three days."

"Hon, if I went through what you went through, I think my dick will have been worn down to pencil-thin, assuming of course it didn't fall off completely."

Fifteen minutes later, she returned fully clothed, her adornments carefully stored in her backpack. She smelled of civilized mosquito spray. Gerald saw the indigenous woman wave at their nose as if someone had just let go a massive fart. They thought the odour of mosquito spray was worse than a tapir's.

Then the tearful good-byes started; even the men shed tears.

Aiko, Gerald, Pedro and two clansmen acting as their guides, finally set out for the meeting point where they would meet their rescuers.

It took about four hours to reach the settlement.

During the first part of trek through the jungle, Aiko noticed how quiet Pedro was. He seemed almost morose.

"Is something bothering you, Pedro?" she asked.

"I have a hankering to stay with these people, forget about my civilized life as a tourist guide. Worse, I doubt these people have much of a future living the way they do now."

"What do you mean?" she asked although she already had an inkling of what he was thinking.

"The way of life of the indigenous peoples who lived in the Americas is almost all gone except in the most remote parts of the Amazonian jungle. The arrival of European settlers from Europe brought diseases our people had never encountered, and weapons that could kill the locals instantly. Even today in today in Brazil, people who want to use our land to make profit for themselves bring hired guns to expel indigenous people from their ancestral land."

Gerald was walking behind them listening in. "I know what you mean and I understand your sentiments," he said. "Europeans, including their North and South American descendents, describe themselves as settlers but they are nothing more than occupiers who kill and steal for land. 'Settler' is dirty word when settlement is done at someone else's expense."

"You are an unusual man, Gerald," Pedro replied. "And you are just as unusual, Aiko. I've never met people like you, and I doubt I ever will again. You spent only a week with the clansmen, but in that week you gained their full respect, and yes, I think I can say, their genuine love and affection as well."

Aiko blushed.

"And what are you going to do, Pedro," Gerald asked.

"I'm tempted to stay with them,' he conceded, "but someone has go back to the outside world to defend them and protect their way of life, even if there's no hope in the long-run."

"I'm sure your wives will reward you," Aiko winked knowingly.

It was Pedro's turn to look embarrassed.

When they came within sight of the settlement, the three saw clansmen stopped. There were more tears as they went their separate ways. A half-hour later, the trio arrived at the pier to be greeted by their rescuers. Even an embassy official showed up.

"It must have been very difficult," the embassy official said. "We heard you volunteered yourselves to stay behind for the sake of the other tourists. That was very brave of you. You must have suffered some real hardship."
