Adultery Second Honeymoon

[CobuIndia]

I never saw Asha looking like an Indian wife. But after her best friend’s wedding, I found certain changes in her. She was wearing her long-forgotten mangalsutra, bangles regularly, having sindoor. Earlier she avoided mehndi. But this time, she loved it. It’s been like years that I have seen her like that.

It was the month of June, and her summer vacations were going on. One evening, we were checking our mobile sitting side by side. I heard Asha saying, “Wow, how lucky she is!” I saw her phone. She was watching her friend’s honeymoon pics.  Her friend had updated her pics from Bali, Indonesia.
Asha, “See these pics. Her husband took her to such a beautiful place.”
Me, “Why are you feeling jealous? It’s their honeymoon trip.”

Asha (rudely), “I know that.”
Me, “After our wedding, we also went on our honeymoon. Now it’s their time.”
Asha (again rudely), “Where? Manali. where I already had visited twice before our marriage.”
I didn’t understand what she wanted, so I asked her directly. “Tell me what you want.” Asha, “I think we should go somewhere.”
Me, “Ok. Your summer vacation is on. We can go somewhere like Darjeeling or Nainital.”
Asha, “Why do you always think of hill station whenever I tell you about vacation?”
Me, “During summers, it’s good to visit hilly areas to get rid of the summer heat.”
Asha, “Can we also go to Bali?”
Me, “Yaa. But it will be costly, and secondly, I think it will be like following your friend. We can have a longer and better trip if we plan better.”
Asha, “I have to think, and you also search.”
The next morning, Asha said, “I am not getting it. Let’s go to Bali.”
Me, “I will talk in the evening.”
I am a little miser type. I searched the whole day and talked with some friends. In the evening, when I reached home, I asked Asha about going to Munnar Kerala. She also searched about Munnar and got angry with me, “Every time your pin stops at a hill station, I will go with someone else.”
She got angry with me but still kept searching. While searching Munnar, she saw something and extended her search. After few minutes, she said, “We will go to Allepey backwaters and beaches.” I also searched for Allepey and liked her idea.
After we both were convinced, Asha said, ” Vikram, plan the trip within this week.” So I searched for a hotel and booked a flight for Kochi. It was 4 days from today. The next evening when I reached home, Asha opened the door in shorts and spaghetti.
Me, “Why your mehendi is looking so bright today?”
Asha, “I went to mehendi parlor. It’s for our honeymoon trip.”
Me, “How is it a honeymoon trip? It’s just a vacation. We had our honeymoon trip 3 years back.”
Asha, “So what? We can enjoy this trip as our 2nd honeymoon.”
Me, “What will people say?”
Asha, “Which people? We know we have been married for 3 years, but nobody knows this in our honeymoon destination. For them, we will be like a newly married couple.”
I kissed her and said, “As you wish, dear, you look beautiful.”
After 3 days, we packed 2 big-sized travelers bags with a medium handbag. Both of us packed our clothes and other stuff with Asha’s baggage on a much heavier side.
Me, “It’s just an 8-day trip. Why are you packing so much?
Asha, “I don’t want to have every pic look the same.”
Me, “Ok, ok. But don’t you think that the proportion of short sexy clothes is too much?”
Asha looked at me with a bit of anger. “Most of these dresses are gifted by others. I have worn these dresses only once or twice only. These are so beautiful, and I haven’t worn them anywhere.”
Guessing frustration in Asha’s words, I said, “I didn’t mean that. I wanted you to include just one-two traditional dresses in place of 1-2 other dresses.”
Asha, “For you, this is just a trip. For me, it’s my honeymoon. I want to feel like a naughty sexy modern desi bride.”

Me, “Ok, do what you like.”

I sat down on a chair. Asha looked at me. She opened the almirah and took out a saree set, and packed it in the bag
