Adultery Some Short Stories... From Internet
#23
Bangalore Housewife

 
The story goes back to 2006 when I moved to Bangalore, to join my first job, after finishing my engineering studies. The job was with one of India’s biggest it consulting firms and I, along with many other joiners, was given 2 months on-job training.
 
When the training was over, some of the joints were immediately assigned to some of the in-progress projects while others were assigned “On bench” status, waiting to be assigned to new upcoming projects at their start. Although I was also assigned to a project, I refused to work on it as the technology being used was an obsolete one which had no future in the IT market. So, the management assigned me “On bench” status as well. Now I had to wait for the start of one of the upcoming projects.
 
During the initial days of my “On bench” time, I used to go to the office every day to meet the HR to inquire about the projects. However, with time, I started staying at room most of the times except a couple of days of the week. I used to get information from my other “On bench” colleagues about the status of the upcoming projects.
 
I used to stay with one friend who used to work for another company. As he used to leave office, I was left alone in the room. To pass time, I started studying but I used to get bored after some time. So, I started browsing the net. Those days, chatting was quite popular and I had accounts on both yahoo messenger and Rediff bol. I used to visit different chat rooms every day but in the beginning, talks with any girl could not go beyond a few minutes.

One day I logged into Rediff BOL and entered the Bangalore chatroom. I pinged a few girls but none replied. Then, after a few minutes, I got a message from a girl named “Sonia”. I thought to myself, this might be a boy trying to play a prank on me. However, I thought of playing along for a while thinking it may be a girl as well. The display picture shown in the chat window was a really beautiful lady.
 
Chat went like this –
 
Sonia- hi
 
Rohan- hi, how are you.
 
SONIA- I am good. How abt you.
 
ROHAN- I am good, thanks.
 
Asl plz
 
SONIA- you first
 
ROHAN- 23, male, Bangalore
 
And you?
 
SONIA- 30, female, Bangalore
 
ROHAN- Wow, so you are from Bangalore too. Nice meeting you.
 
SONIA- same here.
 
ROHAN- what do you do?
 
SONIA- I’m a housewife. And you?
 
ROHAN- I m a software engineer.
 
SONIA- wow. That’s nice. So, I think you should be in office right now.
 
ROHAN- no, I am in my room as I am on bench(I made her understand what it means)
 
SONIA- great. So you are enjoying your time at home while getting your salary too. Good for you.
 
ROHAN- you can say that but it will be over soon. Maximum a month or two.
 
SONIA- what do you do all day as you are not going to the office.
 
ROHAN- a little study, some surfing, some chatting, some sleep.That’s it
 
SONIA- why? Don’t you have a girlfriend to talk to or hang out with?
 
ROHAN- well, I won’t be talking to you right now if I had one. By the way, how abt you. Do you have a boyfriend?
 
SONIA- yes, I have one- my husband.
 
ROHAN- omg. You didn’t tell me you are married.
 
SONIA- that’s bcoz you didn’t ask Smile
 
ROHAN- do you have any kids as well?
 
SONIA- yes. A son who is turning 12 next month.
 
ROHAN- 12 !!! How come. You are 30, your son is 12. So you must have got married by the age of 17. Right?
 
SONIA- that’s right.
 
ROHAN- at such an early age !!! I can’t believe that Bangaloreans could also behave like villagers sometimes. By the way, it’s illegal to get married before 18 in India.
 
SONIA- really? I never thought of that.
 
ROHAN- Yeah, but don’t worry. Your crime is too old to be noticed now. But why did your parents married you off at such an early age? Did they want to get rid of you?
 
SONIA- ha ha ha. No. They have always loved me so very much because I am their only child.
 
ROHAN- then why?
 
SONIA- actually my grandma was very ill that year. She wanted to see me as bride asap as her chances of survival were really low.
 
ROHAN- I see.
 
SONIA- you know, I had just passed 10+2 that year and I had taken admission in b.Sc. But to fulfill grandma’s wish, I had to leave my college to get married. Grandma died one month after my marriage.
 
ROHAN- I m sorry to know that. But I appreciate the great sacrifice you made to make her happy.
 
SONIA- thanks. Ok, Rohan, I got to go now. My son will be back from college in an hour. I need to cook food for him. But it was nice chatting with you. Hope to catch you soon again. Bye.
 
ROHAN- nice chatting with you too. Take care. Bye.
