I shook my head and started to walk down the beach leaving Pinto to sample some quality feni in the adjacent joint.
D'souza's shack had a marvellous gazebo jutting out on the beach and I could see a silhouette of a woman in colourful attire holding the wooden rails. It took me about 5 minutes to reach and came face to face with Suhasini, stunningly beautiful. A completely new look. Everything was new, the hair, the dress and the body language. She came down to meet me, smiled and touched my new jacket.
"Nice". She said.
In contrast to her confidence and smartness, I felt lowly, out of place. I could not take my eyes off her.
She knew it and asked me conspiratorially, "How do I look?"
I answered honestly, "Neighbour's wife."
She laughed loudly, obviously pleased. Her voice was tantalizingly intoxicating sufficient for anyone to lose control.
She held me by my hand and pulled through the stairs to the gazebo. There were two reclining couches side by side. She made me lie down. She went behind and caressed my head and temples. Suddenly I could feel the fragrance of her hair and her whispering in my ears, "How are you?"
I looked up and said nothing.
She continued to massage my head for a long time. No words were exchanged.
The vast blue ocean in front of us was calm and so were we. Turbulence if any was hidden.
Everything was of best quality and in perfect cadence, the food, the ambience, the comfort and the lady. I was not able to comprehend the situation. It appeared so unreal.
By the laws of nature, the evening brought in the sunset, dazzling in its colours slowly turning the sea from molten gold into a dark body of unknown terror.
We sat on the couches side by side. Suhasini did not let go my hands even for a moment in the last few hours. But I could not recognize my Suhas in her. But, she was undeniably mine, her touch was the same. With closed eyes, I could feel it.
Night descended and brought along the human silence. The only sounds that I heard were of the waves breaking against the shoreline.
We had a memorable dinner and it was time for me to make love, to this beautiful woman. My anger was gone, a long time back. I pulled her to me. Inexplicably, she resisted. I looked at her, visibly surprised.
She kissed me on my forehead and said, "I need to tell you something and you need to listen."
"What?" I asked, worried.
"The truth. Your Suhas wants to confess."
Chapter-5
I wasn't a 'Padre' but if Suhasini had decided to confess to me, I didn't have a choice.
I nodded dumbly.
She sat near me, still holding my hands and started to speak.
"That night when you found me with Adi, it was not a one-off event. I love him.
My 20 years of existence with you is an enigma to me. We were distinct individuals for maybe five years. For five years we explored each other, discovered each other, loved each other and disagreed with each other. We fiercely quarrelled and then fiercely made love. We didn't speak for a week and when we made up we didn't stop loving for a week. When you returned from the tours, I would think for hours, how I would look nicer, to you. You once purchased a copy Rayban simply to impress me.
