Adultery The Possession

[Henry]

Then he grabbed one of the heavy bags from the hand of Dawa Sherpa. They all began to climb the mountain slopes through the pine forest. Reached the lonely wood house in the deep forest. A tall old woman sits outside on the baranda; she is the mother of Dawa ji. The skin of her eyes and face is slightly wrinkled due to age. Smile on face Seeing Dawa, she stood up with a stick in her hand. The old woman has grown older in a year. As Soma went to 'pranam' touching her feet, she pulled Soma to her chest. She pressed her both cheeks and said like a mother's love----Mother has a daughter in her chest. No need to bow down, bahu.

Soma heard the word 'bahu'. Yet the behavior of the Dawa Sherpa's mother impressed Soma. Soma pointed to Santu-Antu. They both went to bow down for pranam. The old woman hugged the two boys to her chest. Then he kissed them on their cheek and said---Very cute children. I saw them last year. Come, I have made roti and chicken with hot ghee for you.

They entered the wooden house. Soma saw the inside of the house as before. Only the kitchen side has been partitioned to make a small room.

Although the weather is quite cold, Soma wants to change her saree immediately. When she looked at Dawa, he understood and pointed towards that small room. Soma entered there with her clothes bag. In this small room, there is a little space after a bed, two pillows are placed on the bed. She took off her saree, saiya (petticoat), blouse and spread it on the bed. Soma realized that she had made a mistake; The cold that falls in Kolkata in winter, here is the same cold in summer. But she mistakenly brought four cotton sarees to wear at home. Two silks have been brought. Soma noticed that among the cotton sarees, the pink color saree was rather a little thick. Draw a light design on top. Soma did not open her bra. She wore a matching pink blouse over that black brassiere. After washing her hands and feet in hot water, she saw Santu-Antu sitting with their dadi talking. Soma said to the two boys---Come wash your hands and feet.

Old Ma'ji said---They will wash later. Eat them now.
Soma knows that frequent washing of hands and feet is less necessary when coming from outside in a cold country. So she didn't say anything else. Now she just started looking for Dawa ji. The old woman's eyes did not escape. She laughed and said---You looking for the Dawa beta? Can't get him now. He has now gone to Jackie.

Soma asked in surprise---Who is Jackie?

Before the conversation was over, Dawa and Raju entered, along with a huge red-faced German Shepard. Its back is black. Iron chain with buckles fastened around its neck. Both Santu and Antu got scared, Soma also got scared and followed Ma'ji. Everyone else laughed at their fear. Dawa Ji smiled and said---Santu Babu, come here. It won't say anything.

But German Shepard's behavior is like biting when released. Dawa, however, chilled him very easily. Then Santu Antu also boldly approached. Jackie became friends with them in a short of time.

Soma began to inquire about Ma'ji's health from her. Dawa Sherpa's six-foot-long tall makes it a great pet to have with its massive appearance. Santu Antu is no longer afraid of Jackie. Dawa said that Jackie was very young when he found it in the forest. Was with a tourist group. Later, Jackie disappeared from them. Since then Jackie has been Dawa's companion. At night it's guards their house this lonely forest.

Soma asked---Didn't we see it when I came last time?

Raju said---Madam Ji, Dawa Bhai has made a separate room for Jackie. It was there. You didn't see.
Dawa said to Raju gruffly---Why you called her 'Madam Ji'? She is your bhabi.

Soma blushed. Ma'ji said---I won't live long, bahu. How many times have I asked my beta to marry again? But he never agreed. He thought the new mother will not take care of Kesavi? After so many years, I could not think that I would see the face of my bahu again.

Soma looked at Dawa Sherpa. Is Dawa Ji's maa ji really thinking of her as her daughter in law? Dawa, however, did not pay attention to Soma's look. After lunch they rested. In the afternoon, Dawa Ji, Santu-Antu, Raju went out for a walk with Jackie. They called Soma. Soma says she will stay with Ma' ji.

The beauty of the moutains in the afternoon is different. There is a wonderful view as far as the eye can see. Soma and Ma'ji are talking on the barandah. Ma' ji said---Bahu, Dawa is very stubborn. His father has Gorkha blood in his blood, while his mother has Punjabi blood. My beta is very hot-headed person. But his mind is soft. Keshvi's mother died when Keshvi was very young, Dawa was in military training and driving a military truck on the Nepal border. He never let that little girl understand the lack of her mother. But you know bahu, he has power like a lion. Keep him under control. Never make him sad.
