Lifestyle and Wife Swapping Club

Scene 8: Setting the Rules

---

Amit and Neha had moved back to a quiet, leather booth in the main lounge area, holding hands and sharing a glass of water. They were fully dressed now, but the intimacy of the Parallel Play still clung to them like a fine mist. Aarav and Pooja were seated opposite them, the unofficial guides to this new domain.

Amit: (He leaned forward, the corporate negotiator reasserting control over the primal urge) "So, let's talk Soft Swap. We need clear, non-negotiable rules before we ever consider the next time. This can't be spontaneous; it has to be a mutual, agreed-upon system." Amit: "Toh, chalo Soft Swap ki baat karte hain. Humein clear, non-negotiable rules chahiye isse pehle ki hum agle baar ke baare mein sochein. Yeh spontaneous nahi ho sakta; yeh ek aapsi, sehmat system hona chahiye."

Neha: (She squeezed his hand, a warm, reassuring gesture) "I agree. We're doing this to build trust, not break it. My primary rule is: No Full Swap. Never, unless we've had at least five Soft Swap experiences and talked for a week about it." Neha: "Main sehmat hoon. Hum yeh bharosa banane ke liye kar rahe hain, todne ke liye nahi. Mera pehla rule hai: Full Swap nahi. Kabhi nahi, jab tak humne kam se kam paanch Soft Swap anubhav na kiye hon aur us par ek hafta baat na ki ho."

Aarav: "That's an excellent, healthy boundary, Neha. Most couples here start with that five-session rule. It allows time for emotional processing." Aarav: "Yeh ek bahut achhi, healthy boundary hai, Neha. Yahan zyadaatar couples isi paanch-session rule se shuru karte hain. Yeh emotional processing ke liye time deta hai."

Amit: "My second rule: No Solo Play. If Neha is with another man, I must be present and engaged with his wife, or at least in the same room. We leave together, we arrive together. No going off with someone else without the partner present." Amit: "Mera doosra rule: Akele Play nahi. Agar Neha kisi doosre aadmi ke saath hai, toh mujhe uski wife ke saath present aur engaged rehna chahiye, ya kam se kam ek hi room mein. Hum saath aate hain, hum saath jaate hain. Partner ke maujood na hone par kisi aur ke saath akele nahi jaana."

Pooja: "That’s a foundation of the Lifestyle. It’s about couple privilege—the couple's bond always comes first. Solo dates are rare and usually happen much later, with extreme care." Pooja: "Yeh Lifestyle ka ek foundation hai. Yeh couple privilege ke baare mein hai—couple ka bandhan hamesha pehle aata hai. Solo dates bahut kam hote hain aur aam taur par bahut baad mein, bahut dhyaan se hote hain."

Neha: (She nodded firmly) "Rule three, for both of us: Immediate Stop Word. If either of us says 'Shakti,' the scene stops instantly, no questions asked, no negotiation. It’s a clean break." Neha: "Rule teen, hum dono ke liye: Turant Rukne Wala Shabd (Stop Word). Agar hum dono mein se koi 'Shakti' bolta hai, toh scene turant ruk jayega, koi sawal nahi, koi negotiation nahi. Yeh ek clean break hai."

Amit: "And Rule four, and this is the most critical: No Emotional Attachment allowed. This is physical exploration only. We must talk honestly about any emerging feelings for another person within 24 hours. This is about us, not them." Amit: "Aur Rule chaar, aur yeh sabse critical hai: Emotional Attachment nahi allowed. Yeh sirf physical exploration hai. Humein 24 ghante ke andar kisi doosre insaan ke liye uthte hue kisi bhi feeling ke baare mein imaandari se baat karni hogi. Yeh humare baare mein hai, unke baare mein nahi."

Aarav: "Amit, that is the most mature rule of all. It transforms this from a taboo indulgence into a practice of radical honesty. You are setting yourself up for success." Aarav: "Amit, yeh sabse mature rule hai. Yeh isko ek taboo indulgence se radical honesty ki practice mein badal deta hai. Aap apne aap ko safalta ke liye tyaar kar rahe hain."

Neha: "So, the next step is a controlled, reciprocal Soft Swap. Maybe with Riya and Rohan, since we’ve already had the first physical contact. We set a time limit, say, one hour. And we review afterwards." Neha: "Toh, agla kadam ek controlled, aapsi Soft Swap hai. Shayad Riya aur Rohan ke saath, kyunki hum pehle hi physical contact kar chuke hain. Hum ek time limit set karte hain, jaise, ek ghanta. Aur hum baad mein review karenge."

Amit: (He squeezed her hand back, the tension in his face now mixed with determination) "One hour. With those four rules enforced. I don't want to go back to being roommates, Neha. If this is the price of our passion, then I'm willing to pay it." Amit: "Ek ghanta. In chaaron rules ko enforce karte hue. Main wapas roommates nahi banna chahta, Neha. Agar yeh humare passion ki keemat hai, toh main ise chukane ko tyaar hoon."

Neha: "Good. Let's go home, Amit. We have a lot of honest things to talk about before the next First Encounter." Neha: "Achha hai. Chalo ghar chalte hain, Amit. Humein agle First Encounter se pehle bahut saari imaandaar baatein karni hain."
