Adultery DISEASE

[OLDWINE]

THAT NIGHT


While lying on the bed after dinner, Natasha reminisces about the awkward evening she spent with Mr. Gupta. She desperately tried to convince herself that she was only entertaining an ailing man, nothing more, but in her heart of hearts, she knew that their dancing had become a little too intimate and intense at one point.

Natasha recalls:

Vishal shrugged nonchalantly, 'Well, I may have Alzheimer's, but I still appreciate a beautiful woman."

Natasha raised an eyebrow, 'Is that so? Well, in that case, maybe we can have a little fun. After all, you won't remember any of it tomorrow."

They were swaying together in the center of the room, dancing to the soft music playing in the background. Vishal's hands were roaming all over Natasha's body, sending shivers down her spine. She couldn't believe what was happening, but she didn't want it to stop.

As they danced, Vishal's hands found their way to Natasha's naked waist. And with a swift move, he pulled her closer to him. Natasha gasped at the sudden intrusion, and her cheeks turned a deeper shade of red.
 He whispered compliments in her ear, making her heart beat faster. Natasha was lost in the moment.



"Why don't you admit that you care for her more than me?" Pritam yells before slamming the bedroom door behind him.

Natasha was so lost in her thoughts that she did not notice that her husband and in-laws were having an altercation outside.

Pritam's brutish entry brings Natasha to the earthly realm.

"What happened?" Natasha asks.

"My Sister happened...she is cunning as ever .I knew things were going to be like this." Pritam pours his frustration into Natasha's ears.

Natasha knows her Sister-in-Law isn't a housewife like herself; she works at a private firm.

"What about Riya didi?" Natasha asks again, confused still.

"Riya had her child last year, a lovely little boy, but she does not want to quit her job, nor does she want to pay for a nanny. She wants my mom to take care of her kid while she is at the office. And my dad goes wherever my mom goes. This has been her plan all along,using our parents to raise her child. Tomorrow my Mumma and Papa are leaving for Banglore. Shitt !! " Pritam is writhing with anger.

Natasha understands the deal. Both Brother and Sister want their parents to raise their child. Pritam fears when he and Natasha will have their first baby, his parents will still be taking care of his Sister's kid in another city.

"Can I do something?" Natasha asks.

"No. Don't get between us siblings. It is done. Mom & Dad leaving for Riya's house." Pritam groans.

Suddenly, he changes the subject," Did that old mule say something about the property?"

Natasha gets Pritam referring to Mr.Gupta. That brings an unwanted blush to her cheeks. After that awkwardly intimate dance, Natasha did not have the guts to stay much longer in Mr.Gupta's house. 

"No.. his memory is sometimes there and sometimes isn't. I think.." Natasha lies.

Pritam cuts her off, "We should stop thinking and start acting. It would not take long for Mr.Gupta's relatives to come sniffing here for his property. The man has no children. We need to settle the dispute before his relatives get a whiff of his disease."

Natasha is perplexed; she is bamboozled by flurries of information right now.

"So?" She asks.

"Look, Since Mom & Dad are going away, obviously, you will be busy with our house chores more than ever. That means ignoring Mr. Gupta's needs. So I have found a solution. You remember Rocky?" Pritam is talking very fast at this point.

"Rocky who?" Natasha frowns.

"That loafer-type college boy who lives at the corner of the street." Pritam contorts his face.

"I don't know. Maybe I know him by face, but the name or description rings no bells." Natasha is being honest.

"Arey... the oversmart guy who was flirting with your cousin Priya all night during our wedding day." Pritam is annoyed.

"Priya flirts with lots of boys. I can't remember all of them."Natasha giggles.

"Oh gosh...Well whatever..You will meet Rocky tomorrow morning anyway." Pritam draws a closure.

"Why?" Natasha furrows her eyebrows.

"I want Rocky to work as Mr.gupta's errand boy. Since you will be more busy with our house chores,Mr.gupta would need someone else. I want to make sure that Mr.Gupta knows that our family is helping him out by employing Rocky. I want that stubborn Mr.Gupta to be completely dependent upon us to the point that he gets pleased and drops the property case." Pritam confides with his wife.

"My God, Pritam, You should have mentioned these when Panditji was arranging our marriage. Offf.. so complicated." Natasha glares, pressing her forehead.
