I didn't know how my mother understood that but I noticed a bond of affinity was gradually forming between her and Reddi ji.
Mother looked at Reddi ji and asked," Mrs. Sen was saying that your wife is living at Bombay."
There was a momentarily silence. I lightly kneeled forward and looked at my extreme right to Reddi Ji. A cloud of pain crossed his eyes.
He looked at my mother and she too felt his pain. She waved him to come near to her. He stood and slowly walked and dragging a cushioned stool sat just left to my mother's seat.
In that processes he was now almost in front of me and near also.
She affectionately placed her hand on his back.
He said, a suffering was apparent in his eyes," She had taken Tinny and I have not seen her in three years."
"Have you talked her...I mean your wife?" She asked keeping her hand on his back.
'No I have not even seen them."
"But why should she do that?" Mother asked him puzzled.
Suddenly I remembered some one told me that she left because she was not able to bear his excessive fucking. Was he correct!
Mrs. Sen tapped the arm of my mother and said, "I told you that day. She is thin and physically not like him...not able to sleep with him...I mean...as his woman. "
I saw a blush came to her face as Mother quickly recalled.
There was again a deadly silence in the room. Sen was quite far from them to hear and was stealing glances on my wife who had full ears on conversation. Apparently he didn't feel much interested in his wife's exertions to his friend's miseries.
Mother spoke again in low pitch," If you wish I may meet and talk her. At least you should get your daughter. "
Mrs. Sen intervened," Aunty, six months back Mr. Sen and I went Bombay and I met her alone to find a solution. The problem is physical... She is not averse to him otherwise. "
After a longer silence Mrs. Sen spoke again in voice hardly distinguishable to me," She says that he is a terrific man and it is impossible for her to make physical contact with him. She used to come occasionally to him with their daughter and tried...I mean... sleep alone in the same house but it was not possible for him to hold him and he began forcing..."
She continued in same pitch of words, " I told her to at least send her daughter but she said how a small girl could live there alone while her father is so occupied and mostly travelling."
Hearing her, mother became notably thoughtful. I saw Reddi ji was looking at ground and had pressed his legs tightly in each other with his both hands in between them. My wife's face was also had a peculiar shade. Mr. Sen was still not in audible range.
Mrs. Sen glanced at Reddi ji and again spoke," He rarely sleeps in nights and I know he weeps." She continued," As a self discipline he kept his eyes away from every women for complete three years, till...I told you about that aunty. "
Mother thoughtfully turned her eyes right at Reddi ji and said," Have you thought to marry another woman? "
Mrs. Sen replied on behalf of her husband's boss & friend, "It is not possible aunty, unless she divorces him. You know tedious Indian divorce laws. That would entirely tear him and poor Tinny. It is difficult to decide. "
Mother said grimly," I think there are solutions for every thing." She lightly put her fingers on Mrs. Sen's right arm and said sympathetically," But it is no fault of Reddi ji if God had built is him like that. Man should be proud of his strength. "
Mrs. Sen still holding my wife's arms by her other hand spoke calculatedly," I talked her about that, aunty and there is some light. She could live here and would not object if he sleeps with some woman to relieve him once a while in a week."
I saw at my wife. Her eyes had a distinct color of shame.
Mother said," Oh! That should be."
Mrs. Sen said," But that is not so simple aunty. It would have many serious implications for a man of highest status like Reddi ji. He can't hire a woman or bring an unmarried girl at this age and make them sticking to him for whole life. "
Mrs. Sen again looked in motherly eyes to her right," I know it is no fault of him. I thought about... a married woman of a close family sleeping with him once or twice a week."
She continued, "However again I have doubts. Every neighbor would soon know it, unless we are extremely cautious. We have to have consent of both families. I am still not sure but we need to have a family that has emotional attachment and shares his miseries."
Mrs. Sen held mother's hand tightly and said, "I think she may live with him on that condition." She looked at Reddi for conformation. He was silent and appeared like a third degree culprit.
There was a carnal silence! I had never seen mother thoughtful like that. Ruchi patient hearing each word of conversation was holing her breath.
Mother looked at Reddi ji and slowly spoke word by word," We are always with you and wish to share your miseries. I know you whom you adore. We talked about that at home and you have freedom if you both are willing. However Mrs. Sen and I would have to get your wife's consent for this arrangement in plain terms to avert any bad name later to all of us. "
In a moment Reddi's eyes were filled with real tears. Ruchi and I both felt us like a like a fresh snow that was freezing in ice.
Understanding the conversation was ending Mr. Sen waved his wife to come to him. She stood and walked to him and sat on empty love seat on his right and Sen also drifted on extreme right of that large 4- seater so they both were away from audible range of others.
They had some low voiced lip to lip conversation for two to three minutes and after that looking at my mother she went back to her place on right of Ruchi on other big 4-seater. - - - - - - - -
