Adultery The Possession

[Henry]

Before Soma changed her saree, Antu said---Mom, Dad called. Asking you to call when you return from the market to home.

Dawa called from the living room---Soma, will you give me water.

Soma said to unhook her brassiere---Giving.

After a little rest Soma got busy in the kitchen. It was nine o'clock in the night when she finished the cooking. Then she remembered to call Subir. Dawa Sherpa has gone to the ground floor. It's time for Agarwal's car to enter. Soma telephoned Subir. Subir picked up the phone after ringing for a long time. In a very calm but serious voice, he said---where did you go?

---Why? Antu did not say? I went to the market.

---- when back?

--- Around eight o'clock. Did you have dinner.

Subir did not answer Soma's question and said---Did you go to the market alone?

---Yes. Where can I get a partner?

---Why? Your boyfriend?

Soma fell silent. Subir said again--- What happened that you are not answering?

----What answer will I give? I don't have time to answer all the dirty talk. Soma angrliy said.

Subir said in a stern tone---You have time to be dirty with dirty people. Then?

---What are you saying? Did you drink alcohol? Soma became very angry.

---Don't lie, Soma. I know you're not used to lying to me. You are caught lying again and again. Subir said angrily too.

----What do you want to say?

Subir got more angry. He raised his voice and said----Don't shout whore! Fucking with that third class watchman every day, don't you think I don't understand?

----Subir!

Subir calmed down. He said in a calm tone---Look, I am not quarreling with you. Now you admit the truth. How long have you been having an affair with that guy?

Soma realizes she is breaking down from her heart. But what will she answer? Subir said again---Soma, we have two sons, how can you go down such a dirty path after looking at their faces? How? for what? Does the man satisfy you sexually? Shit Soma! Your so degraded!

Soma's eyes watered. She is also angry. She doesn't want to blow up. Subir said suddenly---I never thought Soma, that you can do these things! What do you want from me? What didn't I give you?

Soma gasped, said---What did you give me Subir? Do you have time to listen to the words of your wife heart at the end of the day's her hard work? How do I manage our family and my job? Keep track of your sons?

----For that you are with a dirty lower class watchman...Rubbish! Soma, I can not think!

Soma gasped. However, she took courage and said in a tearful tone---I didn't have any happiness, Subir? Have you fulfilled any of the dreams you had after marriage? You only want; Job, promotion more ambition. And I didn't want any of this. I just wanted you to be by my side, my closeness.

Subir said with masculine anger---- Today you are living well, what do you get? How much salary in your teaching job? Closet full of sarees, jewelry, car, own flat?

Soma smiled contemptuously. She said---I dislike this charecter of yours, Subir. Inside you are like other upper class established men. Subir you seem to have forgotten that when you didn't get promoted, you got the same salary as me as a general government engineer. Then the flat was bought with my money. And my income is enough for the comfort you are talking about. We could take care of our two sons with what we earned together. But your ego got in the way. You want more pay, more promotion, and faster. Yes Subir, You only choose your ambition and ego. I was never important to you. And yes, Dawa ji is different than you in this regard. Do you know why? He is a lower class uneducated man without ambition. He is not educated like us, He does not match our status in any way. But he knows how to love, understands family responsibility.

Subir was shocked. He knows a stranger Soma. After listening for a while, he finally said---Soma, did you have so much grievance towards me?

---grievance? No grievance against you, Subir. I have lived with you for seventeen years by adapting everything. Because I love you, love our children. Only Dawa Ji taught me to know myself. If there wasn't for Dawa ji, I probably would never have known that I need to know my own happiness.

---Means you are so selfish? Just for your own happiness...

---You misunderstand. If so, like many women, I would have left you. I didn't run away, because I'm not like you. Such as pushed the responsibility on your wife to fulfill your own ambitions, you walked away for promotion after promotion.

---Soma! I take promotion only for myself?

---For your ego. You are good as a dad, good as a man, good as a husband. But not responsible, not dutiful. Apart from your education and talent, the qualities that you have in are also there in Dawa ji, but what is extra in Dawa ji is responsibility and duty. Dawa ji is a complete man. When I am next to him, I feel confident, as if my life has been established. If he is there, there is always a joy in the family. He is a reliable man, a ruler like the head of the family, a companion.

Subir's head is spinning after hearing his wife's praise about her adulterious lover. Soma is a blast today. Subir is sure that Soma has done wrong, wronged. He hates Soma for that. But he still unable to exonerate himself. Is it just physical? Subir feels that he has really ignored Soma's needs. After the birth of two sons, he never tried to reach his wife's heart again. The routine of conjugal life bound Soma as a mother, as a wife. Dawa Sherpa has taken that opportunity. But in married life, such small and big problems happen, will Soma do extramarital affairs just for this? Subir doesn't know what to do. Where Soma is guilty but he is not innocent too, he is unable to come to any conclusion.


Soma said---Subir, yes I have affair with Dawa Ji. Yes, I'm guilty. I indulged in a sin that I could never have dreamed of. If you think you will divorce me for this, you can. If you think you will still accept me as your wife, I will not skimp on my duties as your wife. Because i still love you. My sons are still important to me. But?

---But, what? Subir gently asked.

---I can never leave Dawa ji. The decision is yours.

Subir sat quietly for a while after hanging up the phone. He feels unbelievable, he cannot imagine that Soma will change so much in just a few months. Subir can't come to any decision. what should he do? Will he give Soma some more time? Or will accept her adultery!

After a while Dawa returned from the ground floor. Seeing Soma sitting with a dry face, he asked---What happened?

Soma didn't answer, said---Go, come fresh from the bathroom. I am preparing dinner.

Sitting at the dining table, Santu and Antu always discussing today's cricket match. What can happen tomorrow, how long will Anil Kumble be able to bat as a night watchman, etc. Soma remained silent throughout the dinner. Dawa, however, noticed this.

When the two boys slept. Dawa lay down on the soft bed of their bedroom. Soma finished the kitchen work and appeared as usual. Dawa pulled Soma's hand and brought her to the bed. Hugging her in his chest, he said---Tell me what happened?

--- Nothing.

---Soma, you are hiding somethings. Don't trust me ji?

Soma burst into tears. She said---I am a bad woman, Dawa ji. I cheated on my husband and children.

Dawa Sherpa hugged Soma very tightly and said----You didn't cheat anyone, Soma. You just wanted to find some happiness for yourself. tell me what happened. Did sab ji say anything?

Soma said everything one by one. Then she said---We have no future in this relationship, Dawa ji. You live like you. Let me be me.

Dawa smiled softly. He said---I didn't leave you, Soma. Are you love me soma?

----Hmmm.

---- Love sab ji?

Soma turned away. Dawa said---what happened? Tell me the truth.

---Yes.

---If you had to leave someone, who would you leave?

----To you. Because Subir is the father of my child, my husband.

Dawa Sherpa smiled very naturally. As if this answer was expected to him. He said----Then very simple, but soma that there is no one else in my life except you.

Soma remained silent. Dawa gripped Soma's hair with his strong hand and brought her face to his rough, rough face and said---I won't leave you, Soma.

It is this arrogant dominant nature of Dawa that seems masculine to Soma. She smiled and said---It hurts.

---Have you ever had the pleasure of this pain from your husband?

Soma kept laughing. She said---You are an animal.

---This animal can give you happiness, satisfy you. Your educated husband cannot. Can you live without this happiness?

---I can't.

---Then listen, do what I say. Now watch what Saab Ji decides. If he wants a divorce, then there is nothing you can do. And if you don't, then no worries. Sab ji will stay in the office, I will stay at home as your husband.

---But if he wants divorce? If he want to take away my two sons from me?

Dawa smiled mischievously. He said---Can sab ji raise the two boys alone? Sab ji will never be able to handle two boys. Because he never handled this responsibility. And yes, Listen, no one can take my Soma Rand away from me anyway.

Then Dawa started unhooking Soma's blouse. He said---No more talk. You have college tomorrow. Will not let me fuck you again until late at night.
Dawa began to press her fair breasts with both hands. He said---Oops: How beautiful your two duddu are...
