Adultery Divorced mom

[nandoghosh]

When I rang the door bell, she opened the door without asking who it was. Seeing me, she was plainly surprised. "Sandip my boy, its you!" she exclaimed. "Why didn't you call me in advance, you silly kid?" she hugged me tight as she asked. She had changed over to one of her chiffon nighties and was washing the clothes that she had worn the previous night.

"Wanted to give you a nice surprise mom," I said with a big smile. I was sure that it was not me, but someone else that she was expecting when she opened the door. "You look tired. Didn't you have a good sleep?" I asked.

She stammered for just a while, unsure as to how to explain her tired looks and then said, "I was watching a recently released hit Hindi movie on the TV. It ended well past midnight. Go to your room and freshen up. I will make you a cup of tea soon."

"OK mom. But you should not stay awake so late. It is bad for your health," I said and went into my bedroom. Suddenly, the aroma of aloo parathas being fried, wafted from the kitchen. "Preparing an early breakfast I see. Any programme for today's morning, mom?" I asked.

"No Sandip. No programme. Actually, your Vipin uncle is coming for breakfast. He likes my aloo parathas very much. So I have invited him," mom explained. We asked about each other as we sat down for tea. Mom talked about her job and how good an employer and neighbour Vipin uncle was. She was all praise for him, but she carefully omitted the news of her affair with Vipin uncle. I told about my office, my colleagues and my job.

Having finished her tea, mom went to the kitchen to prepare the sabzi to go with the aloo parathas. Suddenly, Vipin uncle entered the room. Mom had surely forgotten to lock the main entrance from inside. He appeared puffy and exhausted too. He peered around, obviously trying to locate mom. Suddenly seeing me, he exclaimed, "Hey Sandip! Its you! I can't believe my eyes man. Why didn't you call me? I could have fetched you from the bus terminus."

"Sandip wanted to surprise us," mom said with a laugh from the kitchen.

"Oh! I see. I am indeed surprised. But, let me check what's cooking. Your mom has invited me for breakfast," he said and went into the kitchen. Standing behind mom, he put a hand on her shoulder. I immediately concealed myself and strained my ears to hear anything they might say.

"Shobha, are you coming today?" Vipin uncle said in a hushed tone.

"Yes, I will, Vipin. As Sandip is at home, I can't say when I will be able to come. Don't leave your flat. I will find some convenient time to come to your flat. But one thing Vipin, no anal today," mom replied in equally hushed tones.
