Hot Dog and Ice Age - 2
Nadir Continues to narrate:
Meanwhile, Mitra was invited by Meena to us, for a Sunday lunch and swimming.
After the meal at the pond, when Meena was in the kitchen, we had a quick chat about
the relationship problem between Meena and me. Mitra, as always, asked me to
slow down, listen to my heart and apologize to Meena, to solve our problems.
I promised to try but didn't mention my main problem.
I was waiting, just waiting for my recovery from my embarrassing health problem.
Mitra also invited us to dinner once in her apartment, which was very nicely furnished,
but we didn't talk about the relationship and marital problems. Both times the conversations
were rather general and occasionally about Jalal's ranch memories and his farewell night.
But I had the feeling that she was much more informed about how things were going on
between me and my wife.
I knew that the ladies spoke on the phone often and were currently very close and getting
on well. I suspected that they also met for coffee after work and that they would certainly
talk about me and our marital problems, although Meena didn't tell me about it.
* * *
We visited his ranch the weekend after Tahir was discharged from the hospital. We arrived
on Saturday before noon like last time by Jalal and looked around everything first.
As Jalal said before, Tahir’s house was much bigger with a large hall, library and more than
ten rooms and, and in his ranch, he had a lot more animals and fields.
At least five men and one woman as cook worked for him permanently and each had their
own area of responsibility.
He owned twelve horses, many sheep and goats. And as we were informed beforehand,
there was a part of the large forest behind his house, just for animals, more like wild animals,
which he described as his paradise.
His girlfriend. Sara wasn't there yet and was supposed to arrive the next day.
This time Tahir’s entire attention was on Meena, and he was much more concerned with
her than with talking to me.
I didn't think anything of it because I thought that was his natural manner and he already had
a steady girlfriend who looked after him!
Just once, when they were watching the horses in a fenced area, Tahir who was standing
next to Meena leaned over to her and whispered something in her ear.
I was a meter behind and was watching the goats on the other side. I only heard Meena say
audibly, "You're really bad, Tahir,", and giggled loudly.
I then noticed that a stallion with his huge erect member was trying to mount a mare and
two of them were watching the mating horses.
The whole day and following evening, Tahir' companions, his dogs, Thunder and Sherlock
were also present. But only in the background and only occasionally expressed themselves.
In the evening after dinner, we sat down in his library and drank wine. Tahir often talked
about Jalal and Farzan, their lawyer childhood friend who was there by Jalal’s ranch
party, and memories of childhood and youth.
He then fetched an old photo album and asked if we were interested in looking at the
photos, adding some of them were fifty years old.
I looked at the clock, it was about ten o'clock and I was very tired. I apologized and said,
"I'm sorry, maybe tomorrow, I'm very tired." Meena said she was very interested and if
it wasn't a problem; she would stay a while and then go to sleep.
Tahir got up and led me to the room which was planned for us to rest. The room was not
far away from library and hall.
I brushed my teeth, but my curiosity didn't give me any peace, then I quietly went back
and stood behind the door to the large living room, which wasn't completely closed.
I tried to hear what was going on first.
They both sat down on the couch and looked at the album. Tahir had his left arm behind
Meena's back and explained each photo.
They stopped at a photo and Tahir suddenly turned to Meena and spoke, "That's stupid,
I mean Jalal is an old stupid man, he never understood how to behave. I was sure from
the start that he had no chance with you,".
Meena was a little surprised, "What do you mean? What kind of chance?".
Tahir leaned back and tried to explain, "Look, you are a very pretty, young, educated
woman with a dream social status. You have a very successful, attractive man who is
also young. And what's more, and most importantly, you love your man, and everyone
notices that,",” "What did he expect? Did he want you to fall in love with him and leave
everything behind and fly with him into the unknown? The old idiot..."
Meena was relieved, I noticed from her answer, "Yes, but when you fall in love...", and
smiled.
I think she was initially afraid that Tahir knew something about their intimate relationship.
"Okay, I admit that's not my area, I've never been in love, at least not such a love Jalal
sees and feels, I mean with a woman. I don't know love like that, I love nature, my ranch,
my animals, and I think I'm lost without them, maybe love means being lost without
someone or someone else,”.
“, but everything has its own rules and limits. At 56, I can't say that tomorrow I'll fly to
Himalayas and the day after tomorrow I want to conquer Everest, I, who has never been
to a mountain!", “There has to be logic in every action, maybe a mini-logic but a logic.".
Meena laughed and said," Maybe you can do it, but you have to want it first, that is
important and respectable, the will, maybe he wanted..."
Jalal took his glass and argued, "No, my dear, I don't accept that because then you are
lost when you plan something impossible, even seriously wishing for an impossible thing is
dangerous and murderous. Then you break inside, and you perish... believe me... One had
to be realistic.".
He paused for a moment and took a sip. Meena said," As for me, I like him very much and
did not find his request offensive or, if I may say so, strange.".
Tahir continued, "He should have approached you when he felt like it. To take advantage
of the moment and say I would like to spend some nice hours with you if you want too.
And then leave with good memories without becoming a burden to you and for himself,
when it's time.”,” I'm open and honest Meena, that's life and everyone has to go as far
as they are allowed to...","I would go so far as the situation gives me space, then I
should accept it when I reach the limit, otherwise I will suffer, what I think he
experienced,”,”, and on top of that I will cause problems for the other person, at least
problems of conscience.", “Human must be like animals otherwise suffer, learn from
animals and nature, be clever, only take what they can and are allowed to do and to take,
and not insist on what you will but cannot and you are not allowed to do or take.”.
Then he stopped and they continued looking at the photos with his comments now and then.
I stood there for about ten minutes, but nothing special happened. Then I went into our room.
The doors were open, and I could hear them chatting, now and then. After about a quarter
of an hour Meena came into the room.
The next day, immediately after breakfast, Sara was there and we spent a very pleasant,
beautiful summer day with laughter and chatting and joy on the ranch with nature, animals,
and the couple.
* * *
The following week, my waiting unfortunately did not lead to a positive result.
My weakness and handicap still persisted.
Mitra once visited Meena on a weekday evening when I was working late. I was later able
to watch and listen to their conversation, which was recorded.
As expected, they spoke at length and in detail about what in the last days so happened
and finally, about our relationship crisis.
Mitra suggested that Meena make me jealous as the last solution and claimed that this
always works well with men. Otherwise, the situation can last longer if each of us insists
that he is right, and the other is wrong.
"You mean I should get a lover,", Meena said and giggled.
"No, I know you wouldn't do something like that behind his back, you love him too much
At least not without his consent you do such a thing,” Mitra said with a wink and added,”
", you should only have a pseudo-lover, just pretend..."
"Playing a role like that will be very difficult for me, Mitra,", Meena insisted.
"We are women, Meena, we can do it well. Just as far as he notices it,",”, you mustn’t
exaggerate, but let him notice that you are interested in another man. As I said,
just pretend that there is someone else who has your interest,".
"I don't know Mitra..." Meena said thoughtfully.
"Just think about it, you'll definitely find a suitable one," think about what you're doing
it for, perhaps the simplest solution would be that before you wait too long." Mitra insisted.
"I'll think about it, playing a role...Mhhhm, it will be not easy," Meena said.
Mitra said, "But be careful not to overdo it! That you don't really fall in love...", then
winked and laughed.
"Loving just one man is exhausting enough for me...", Meena shook her head.
"No, I mean not to love someone, but to be in love…There is a difference between
real love and being in love for a while, don't forget..." Mitra argued.
"For me it's the same, I'm in love with him and and I love him...What about you?" Meena
asked.
""I've had enough of men, I don’t want, and I don’t need any, for now at least," Mitra replied
smiling, ", "but if I even fall in love with a man, don't worry, he wouldn't be Nadir, I like him
very much but he's too complicated for me as somebody whom I love as my man," and
continued laughing loudly.
Meena replied, "Who are you telling? I've had problems with such complications for years...".
