Update 32
She was oblivious to his weight over her body and was too tired to move herself at all. After he had spent in her completely, he rolled off her and lay by her side. A rush of their juices formed another big patch on the bed-sheet. She opened her eyes and looked in his direction. She saw him smiling with love in his eyes. She felt shy and involuntarily turned her back trying to hide her private parts. She was smiling now. She really enjoyed the fuck, his heavy pounding and his abuses; she was wondering how these dirty abuses had made her hotter and hornier.
He reached out and started caressing her butts. She found his touch very soothing and shivers ran through her body. She wanted to feel his hands all over her naked body; she felt a strange kind of attraction for her father's middle-aged friend.
He got off the bed and went to her side, tried to help her get off the bed. She was still very shy when he pulled her towards the bathroom. They went inside and she started the showers and went under the running water, she started cleaning herself in her private parts. She noticed quite a few teeth impressions on both her breasts and smiled to herself. These love bites will stay for a few days, reminding her of this wild night. He had washed himself from the tap water and went out of the bathroom, leaving her to clean herself properly.
Before moving into the bedroom she wrapped a towel around herself and decided to put on her clothes. She felt fresh but sleepy now. He was lying on the bed.
" Aap ko pataa tha main yahaan hoon" (did you know I was here).
He looked at her for some time then spoke slowly in a low tone. His voice trembled and there was embarrassment and regret in it.
"Nahin Riya, lekin main tumse milne hi aaya tha. Mera khayaal tha ki Hari Singh kisi ladki ko ya auraton ko chodne ke liye jagah chahta hai, jiske liye usey mere flat ki chabi chahiye thi. Ham donon ne kayi baar yahaan auraton ko choda hai, aur ham ek doosre ki kamzori bhi jaante hain, isliye maine ussey poochha bhi nahin ki kaun ladki ya aurat hai. Yahaan aakar jab maine dekhaa ki flat khulaa hai to mujhe azeeb lagaa aur kamre mein thoda ujaala bhi tha. Jab andar aaya toh tumhen nanga lete huye dekha. Pahle to kam roshni mein maine tumhen pahchaana nahin lekin paas aakar dekha to aashcharya hua." (No Riya, but I had come to meet you only. I had thought that Hari Singh was having fun with someone or may be he used to call some women here to enjoy, and that is why he asked for the keys of the flat. We have fucked many a woman here, we know each other's weakness, so I did not ask him about the woman he was fucking. When I came here I found it strange that the flat was unlocked and there were lights in the bedroom. When I entered the room, I found you lying naked. At first I did not recognize you in the dim light but when I came closer I was surprised to see you in the bed).
"Aap mujhse milne aaye the! Kyon?" (you came to meet me! Why?) She was surprised.
"Riya tumhaare liye ek bahut buri khabar hai", he was feeling guilty.
Riya started thinking the worst things, someone in the family is unwell or hurt or... she was not able to think, but lost her balance. She sat on the bed to recover.
He continued in a low pitch, "Aaj subah 9 baje ke ke aas paas tumhari family Hari Singh ke saath uski jeep mein uskey farm house jaa rahe thi. Usney kahaa tha mujhe ki aaj woh shaam tak city pahunch jaayega kisi bhi tarah. Isliye wo thoda tej jeep chalaa rahaa tha. Ek mod par achanak saamne se ek aadmi cycle par aa rahaa tha, usey bachaane ki koshish mein usney ekdam jeep ko moda, toh jeep ka balance kharaab ho gayaa aur wo sadak ki side mein ludkane lagi. Sunanda aur Hari Singh wahin mar gaye, tumhaari mummy ko bahut thodi chot aayi hai aur Megha ko kuchh jyaada chot aayi hai, aur tumhaare daddy coma mein hain. Main unhen hospital mein chhod kar aaya hoon. Tumhare hostel se pataa chalaa ki aaj raat tum wapas nahin lautogi. Main flat pe aa gayaa jissey subah hostel jaakar tumsey mil sakoon. Mujhe yeh pataa nahin tha tum kahaan gayi ho" (Today in the morning at around 9 am your family were going towards Hari Singh's farm in his jeep. He had told me that he was to reach the city by evening. So he was driving the jeep a bit fast. On a turn a man on bicycle appeared all of a sudden and in order to save him, he took a sharp turn. The jeep lost the balance and it slid down the road and turned over. Sunanda and Hari died on the spot, your mummy sustained minor injuries while Megha has some serious injuries. Your father is in coma. I have come here leaving them in the hospital; your servants and my men are looking them after. I came to know from your hostel that you were not expected to return at night so I had to come here to sleep and I had planned to visit your hostel in the morning).
Riya was deeply shocked after hearing about the tragedy. She lost her consciousness and fell on the bed. Masoom got worried and ran towards the bathroom, he brought some water in the bedroom and sprinkled it on her face. After about 5 minutes she regained her consciousness and was in such a shock that she could not even cry for a few minutes. He pulled her to him and tried to console her, this made her lose the control and she started crying loudly, tears would not stop from her eyes. He tried to calm her down. It was early morning already and he could not have asked for any help as the nearest neighbour was almost at a distance of 100 metres. After crying uncontrollably for over an hour, she fell asleep due to excessive crying. She was totally naked so he covered her with the quit and he put on his gown and sat in a chair near the bed. He let her sleep; knowing that she needed some rest and some sleep would do her good.
She woke up after around 3 hours and started crying again; her tears had dried and she was hysteric. He prepared coffe for her and gave it to her. It was almost 6 am and time for the sunrise. He sat close to her; on his insistence she sipped the hot coffe. Masoom Ali had started feeling movement in his loins and his cock had started getting hard looking at her naked body all this time. He tried to hide but when he was consoling her taking her in his arms, his cock raised its head from the flaps of the gown. Her ripe naked body had almost kept him hard ever since she had lost consciousness, but he did not want to use her for sex at this time. He had brought all her clothes neatly ironed so that they could leave for the hostel to collect her baggages from there and leave immediately for their town. She was watching him doing all this for her and she felt a strange kind of love for him; she felt it because he did not think of his pleasure but was concerned about her and her sentiments. She dressed up immediately and they went to her hostel in his car.
She did not collect all her belongings, as she wanted to be with her family at the earliest, especially her father whom she loved very much. By 7 a.m. they were heading for the home. She would sob at times or cry all of a sudden thinking about her sister, Sunanda, who had died and for Megha and her father. She had noticed his bulge in his pants whenever she glanced at him and felt obliged for the trouble he was taking for her and her family. He stopped the car after an hour at a place where there were a few shops and rest area so that she could wash herself and could eat a little before reaching home. It would do her good, he thought. She did not take anything except a cup of coffee; he too had coffee and then they were back in the car, driving again. It was still another hour's journey to her house. She was now feeling a little composed, though she would still sob at times. He sat silently driving the car with guilt expressions on his face.
After a few minutes when her eyes fell on his bulge again, she felt like repaying him for everything that he was doing for her. She wanted him to get rid of any guilt feeling. She hesitantly put her right hand on his bulge and felt him jerk at her touch. He looked at her but did not say anything; then he felt her unzip his pant and insert her hand to pull him out. He felt her hand massage his cock gently and then she lowered her face to lick the head and swirl her tongue around the cock head. The sensation caused the car waver for a few second but soon he controlled the stearing. She took the head inside and started sucking him gently while massaging his balls. He could not continue driving so he took the car on a deserted road and parked it behind some trees. He knew it would not be possible for him to drive in such situation. He placed his hands on her head, running his fingers in her hair and gently pushing her head down to enable her to take him deeper. His hands went to her blouse; he unbuttoned it and then he started caressing her breasts gently inside her shirt. He would take her nipples and would twist them, pinch then and roll them between his thumb and forefinger.
He was groaning as she slid her lips down over his throbbing stem; all other thoughts of reaching her home had taken a back seat in his mind. He watched her suck him harder now, felt the pressure of her lips on his impatient cock increasing and he knew it would not take long before he will be sending jets of thick and warm semen inside her mouth. "Oooooohhhhhh... uuuhhhhmmmm... aur jor se choos... poora lauda le muhn mein"(oooooohhhhh... uuuuuhhhhmmmm... suck me harder... take the entire cock in your mouth), he said bucking his hips and soon he was not trying to force more of his cock inside her mouth. She had started sucking him harder while her tongue was caressing his cock head under the crown sending pleasure waves in his body. Her sucking sound was quite audible by now. He started squeezing her breasts harder, kneading them so hard that she would cry with pain, but his actions sent currents of pleasure across her body. He felt himself close to his orgasm and his hips were bucking faster; he could feel most of his cock in her mouth, the cock head hitting the back of her throat. He could not control anymore and groaned loudly, his fingers dug into her breasts' flesh. He cried with pleasure as he felt the first jet of his boiling lava hit her gullet, followed by next, then another 5 or 6 jets. He could hear the sound of her swallowing the semen that he was depositing deep in her mouth. He felt the last few drops pouring inside her mouth before his shrunken penis could come out of the confines of her mouth. She was happy that she could partly repay his debts in her own way. After she had taken all his come down her throat, she raised her head and looked in his eyes; she was happy that he was pleased with her efforts in making him feel better.
"Mujhe mauf kar denaa ki main tumhaare nange badan ko dekh kar rok nahin paaya apney ko aur tumhen accident ke bare mein bataaye bina tumhen chodne ki tamanna ko poora kiya"(Please forgive me that watching your naked body, I could not control my desire to fuck you rather than telling you about the accident), he said remorsefully.
She placed her fingers on his mouth wanting him not to feel any more guilt.
He pulled her face to himself and kissed her lips getting the salty taste of his own come. He kissed her for some more time, zipped himself up and then they left for the destination.
Masoom drove straight into the Hospital; and they both rushed to the ICU Ward where Harish was lying in coma. Padma was sitting by his bed and looked in terrible shape. Her eyes were swollen and tears were floating in her eyes. The moment Riya entered the ICU Ward; she could not control the dam of tears in her eyes. Both, mother and daughter were in embrace and started crying uncontrollably. They were politely asked to leave the Ward by a young Resident Doctor, as it would disturb the patients there. They went out and started crying loudly, unable to speak for next few minutes. Riya asked her mother about her father's condition and about her youngest sister, Megha, who she did not find around. Padma told her that Harish had not opened his eyes or been conscious ever since the accident and his condition was serious, as the doctors had said, though they assured that all medical help was being given to him. A senior doctor was to visit the hospital from the city in the day to examine him. Megha was to undergo an operation for her fractured left hand, but fortunately other injuries were not serious. Also post mortem of Sunanda and Hari Singh was to be done that day only; after which their bodies were to be handed over to their respective families.
Later in the day, the mutilated body of Sunanda was handed over to the family and Riya cried loudly when she saw her sister's dead body and her defigured face. She came to know later that at the time of the accident she was two month pregnant, but Masoom had managed to have this fact removed from the post mortem report. She was further happy to know that he had given one bottle of blood for her father. She did not say anything in words to him but her eyes spoke volumes about her feelings of gratitude towards him.
For next 18 days, she was in the hospital most of the time nursing her father and sleeping on a small bench next to his bed at night. Only one attendant was allowed inside the ICU Ward at night, and she would not let anyone else replace her. Masoom was there most of the time of the day outside the ICU, waiting to help her in case anything was needed from outside. He had never tried to touch her even for all those days; he knew her mental state and did not want to take undue advantage of her vulnerability. All the efforts of doctors to save Harish did not bring any positive results; or the prayers of Riya and her family and their visits to various temples could save him. On the 18th day, in the afternoon, he was declared dead. Riya was hysterical; she could not bear the loss of her loving father and was unconscious for over 7 hours. Doctors worked hard to bring her back to the consciousness and she was put on medication. She went into depression. Harish's body was sent for post mortem and when it was being taken for the funeral, she had been given sedative so that she did not saw it being taken away. Padma and Megha and Harbinder Singh's family were around trying to console her. Masoom and Sumer visited her often to ensure that the family was looked after well.
Padma may not have been the best of wives but she respected her husband for his nobility, his simple heartedness and his kindness towards all. He may not have satisfied her sexually, but he never commented or criticized her for her, at times, outrageous behaviour, which rarely a husband would have accepted. She has received bruises only which had healed in 3-4 days. Megha's hand had been plastered after operation and it had been opened after a month from the operation day. There was another plaster for 20 days, after which she was to be put on physiotherapy. It was a successful operation. Riya was the one who was inconsolable even after the 12-day rituals following the funeral were over. She was still feeling depressed and Padma had requested Harbinder Singh's family and Masoon to help her in pulling out her eldest daughter from depression.
Summer on one of these visits, on the fourth day after the funeral, had squeezed Riya's left breast assuming that it would interest her; she had looked angrily at him removing his hand rudely. Harbinder's wife was a big help and Riya felt sorry for her mother, so she was very courteous towards her mother. Masoom was able to bring some smiles to her face with his jokes and with his genuine concern for her depression. Riya never forgot the way he had helped her family during the period when her father was fighting for life in the hospital. She was not angry at Sumer too, but she did not like his treating her like a slut.
After the rituals Riya told her mother that she would like to go back to the college to resume her studies and hoped that the change would do her some good. Padma discussed it with Masoom and other family friends. It was felt that probably this was in the interest of Riya that she immersed herself in studies. Masoom met Riya later in the evening to convey his offer to her that she stay in his flat rather than in the hostel. Riya was not sure if it would help her but assured him that she would consider the offer.
On the very next Sunday, Riya left for the city with Masoom and he was able to persuade her to stay at the flat for a few days to see if she was comfortable there; and if she felt it would be better at the hostel, she was free to shift as and when she desired.
They reached the flat before noon. Masoom went out to get lunch for both of them; he told her that in the meantime she could settle herslf there and rest. She had carried a few books with her and planned to get the remaining reading stuff in the evening from her hostel room. Absence of regular visitors coming in for condolences, the unhappy environment in the house, sad faces of her mother and sister and the memories of her dearest father had started showing the effect on her face; Riya was feeling better and much relaxed; and she felt grateful to Masoom for bringing her out of the gloomy atmosphere.
After they had lunch, Riya told him she was feeling sleepy after so many days' continuous tension about father's ailment followed by his death. He was happy and let her go to sleep for as long as she wanted, for he felt it would relax her mentally and physically... Riya slept for nearly three hours and when she woke up it was 5 pm. She was feeling very relaxed and her depression had lessened to considerable extent. Masoom told her that he would arrange a maid for her, which she refused saying that she herself would do the cooking and cleaning etc. it would keep her busy. She did not argue when he insisted that he shall arrange for a part time maid for dusting and cleaning etc at least; but she made him promise that he shall not tell anyone back home about her staying at his flat. She wanted to live there undisturbed.
Masoom wanted to return in the evening to his home leaving her back in the city, but she requested him to stay for the night as it would be her first night alone there after the tragedy and she was not sure if she would not feel depressed when she was alone.
She was oblivious to his weight over her body and was too tired to move herself at all. After he had spent in her completely, he rolled off her and lay by her side. A rush of their juices formed another big patch on the bed-sheet. She opened her eyes and looked in his direction. She saw him smiling with love in his eyes. She felt shy and involuntarily turned her back trying to hide her private parts. She was smiling now. She really enjoyed the fuck, his heavy pounding and his abuses; she was wondering how these dirty abuses had made her hotter and hornier.
He reached out and started caressing her butts. She found his touch very soothing and shivers ran through her body. She wanted to feel his hands all over her naked body; she felt a strange kind of attraction for her father's middle-aged friend.
He got off the bed and went to her side, tried to help her get off the bed. She was still very shy when he pulled her towards the bathroom. They went inside and she started the showers and went under the running water, she started cleaning herself in her private parts. She noticed quite a few teeth impressions on both her breasts and smiled to herself. These love bites will stay for a few days, reminding her of this wild night. He had washed himself from the tap water and went out of the bathroom, leaving her to clean herself properly.
Before moving into the bedroom she wrapped a towel around herself and decided to put on her clothes. She felt fresh but sleepy now. He was lying on the bed.
" Aap ko pataa tha main yahaan hoon" (did you know I was here).
He looked at her for some time then spoke slowly in a low tone. His voice trembled and there was embarrassment and regret in it.

"Riya tumhaare liye ek bahut buri khabar hai", he was feeling guilty.
Riya started thinking the worst things, someone in the family is unwell or hurt or... she was not able to think, but lost her balance. She sat on the bed to recover.
He continued in a low pitch, "Aaj subah 9 baje ke ke aas paas tumhari family Hari Singh ke saath uski jeep mein uskey farm house jaa rahe thi.

Masoom was able to bring some smiles to her face with his jokes and with his genuine concern for her depression. Riya never forgot the way he had helped her family during the period when her father was fighting for life in the hospital. She was not angry at Sumer too, but she did not like his treating her like a slut.
After the rituals Riya told her mother that she would like to go back to the college to resume her studies and hoped that the change would do her some good. Padma discussed it with Masoom and other family friends. It was felt that probably this was in the interest of Riya that she immersed herself in studies. Masoom met Riya later in the evening to convey his offer to her that she stay in his flat rather than in the hostel. Riya was not sure if it would help her but assured him that she would consider the offer.
On the very next Sunday, Riya left for the city with Masoom and he was able to persuade her to stay at the flat for a few days to see if she was comfortable there; and if she felt it would be better at the hostel, she was free to shift as and when she desired.
They reached the flat before noon. Masoom went out to get lunch for both of them; he told her that in the meantime she could settle herslf there and rest. She had carried a few books with her and planned to get the remaining reading stuff in the evening from her hostel room. Absence of regular visitors coming in for condolences, the unhappy environment in the house, sad faces of her mother and sister and the memories of her dearest father had started showing the effect on her face; Riya was feeling better and much relaxed; and she felt grateful to Masoom for bringing her out of the gloomy atmosphere.
After they had lunch, Riya told him she was feeling sleepy after so many days' continuous tension about father's ailment followed by his death. He was happy and let her go to sleep for as long as she wanted, for he felt it would relax her mentally and physically... Riya slept for nearly three hours and when she woke up it was 5 pm. She was feeling very relaxed and her depression had lessened to considerable extent. Masoom told her that he would arrange a maid for her, which she refused saying that she herself would do the cooking and cleaning etc. it would keep her busy. She did not argue when he insisted that he shall arrange for a part time maid for dusting and cleaning etc at least; but she made him promise that he shall not tell anyone back home about her staying at his flat. She wanted to live there undisturbed.
Masoom wanted to return in the evening to his home leaving her back in the city, but she requested him to stay for the night as it would be her first night alone there after the tragedy and she was not sure if she would not feel depressed when she was alone.
