Adultery The Resonance Vector

[picchimanishi]

I didn’t know the time, but it is obvious to me that it is midnight. My husband, Vaibhav, is snoring beside me. I used to add my chorus to the snoring of my husband usually. But today I am not able to sleep. I know the reason as well. 100% of battery in the phone didn’t just accelerate the story but also brought the brightness that lost in the previous chapter though it is midnight.

 

The words flown out from Nandu this evening are still echoing in my ear.

“Honestly Chachi, the two men in this house have the best setup. Neither of them had to buy a second thing. They just share everything if anyone of them bought”

 

Those words made me to travel back 3 years, means not exactly 1095 days or 26280 hours. It made me to recollect the memories which were created in my brain approximately 3 years back.

 

The words said by Nandu are acting as cue activation. My prefrontal cortex took the cue and directing the retrieval effort. My hippocampus index identified where the scattered fragments of my specific memory are located across the cerebral cortex and the brain started firing the exact same pattern of the neurons that were active when the event happened. Finally, all the sensory fragments are attached like surroundings, senses etc. back together into a conscious thought.

 

The surroundings around me started reshaping. The time started running back to 3 years and my brain took me to a restaurant where me, my husband, my Jethji and our kids Mintu and Nandu just had our dinner after hectic shopping for the nearby festival. It had been 2 years since Anitha di had expired.

 

A bunch of male young guys (I think they were from the same locality of ours) also came to have dinner in the same restaurant. My husband and Jethji were paying and I was picking the shopping things and alerting the kids as the time was to leave. Then I heard one of them saying, “These two brothers, Vaibhav and Bhargav, under one roof are lucky to share this amazing beauty one after the other”. I was really taken aback by those words but acted like nothing heard. Festival kept me busy with household chores to not to give a thought about those vulgar words.

 

After the festival, when I got free from al the chores, my mind, as mentioned in the above process, started giving a thought about those filthy words. More than anger or rage, I had thought to provide my Jethji, the love he missed after the death of his wife, Anitha Di.

 

I started the game of seduction and changed the pattern in my behavior when I was with Jethji alone. Initially, I felt like he was oblivious to the change in my behavior. But it worked actually, and my mind, as usual, slow in grabbing the important observations, failed to grasp his gestures.

 

One day when I was sweeping the floor, he was reading his subject to explain the topics to his students the other day. I wore a salwar of low necked and that day I did not have any intentions to attract my Jethji. But I observed his reflection in the mirror and shifting his glances between book and my exposed melons. After observing that he was ogling at me I felt happy and started to show him more.

 

Five minutes later, I asked him, “What is the topic you are preparing for tomorrow’s class Jethji?”

 

” Ahh!!! Atoms and Nuclei. It is very helpful topic for those want to become experts in Quantum Physics, Bhuvana”, he mumbled first and then replied.

 

“Is that topic has anything related to elastic collisions?” I asked in return. “This is so basic topic. In physics everything is interlinked. So, there may be somehow related to that topic. But as of now, what I am preparing is nothing to do with elastic collision”, he acted like clarifying the topics to me and questioned me, “Why did you ask so?”. I kept my face innocently and replied, “I observed your looks and thought maybe you are preparing for elastic collision topic” and smiled to encourage. I sensed a kind of confusion on his face and left the room swaying my back more than usual.

 

The next day, I observed a change in his behavior, and he was behaving so formal with me. I felt so bad for him and told I was happy with old Jethji ogling at me. “That was instinctive action. I forgot that you were my brother’s wife. I just a woman in you as a man in that weak situation”. I replied to him, “If you feel happy in seeing me as a woman then I will be happy in seeing you as a man.” Those words are not said in playful way but emotionally flown from my mouth. “This is wrong, Bhuvana. We shouldn’t be doing this. More than brothers, Vaibhav is like my best friend. I can’t cheat him.”

 

“I know that “We shouldn’t be doing this” Jethji. But I know your body is mourning for the physical pleasure it missed since the death of Didi. I can’t replace her. I am just trying to make you happy. This family is a nice family. My life as a housewife maybe hundred times more beautiful than any other. I don’t want to force you to cheat my husband. Even I hate to cheat him. I am just informing you that if you really want those physical pleasures then I am ready to provide you”, I replied and started leaving room.

 

I left the room and return again and assure him, “Don’t worry about someone may know about us. I will take care of the secrecy. No one knows about illegal affair or relationship”

 

I thought my words worked on him and one day he returned home earlier than usual. I asked him about that and he replied, “Today’s classes are finished and my Wednesday afternoon schedules are leisure with no other classes.”. He asked, “Where is mom?”. I said, “Mummyji went to temple”.

 

“Are we alone?” he asked with exclaim. ‘Yes Jethji”, I replied.

 

“I thought about our secret relationship. I know we are doing wrong but sometimes my body betrays me and it only looks for a woman touch and doesn’t worry about the relation with the woman who is touching it. I want it like an emotional affair more than only physical affair”, he said with his low voice.

 

“I will manage with the secrecy. But be as my Jethji when we are with someone” I replied. “Call me Bhargav when we are alone. I like it that way”, he said pleasingly.

 

That day, my mind had many thoughts. We were not yet physical, but our minds are already started cheating our family. That afternoon I was standing in the balcony and thinking about how to bear the guilt. And how to face my husband from there onwards.

 

With all these thoughts in my mind I tilted my face to look at the bright sky but surprisingly the darkness has covered the entire sky. This darkness is because the same me who is actually lying beside my husband remembering all the happenings for the inception of this illicit affair is feeling sleepy. When the past me checked the present me, she was already slept, burying the past herself in those memories. This is also a clear signal for the readers about the end of the chapter, and the story will be resumed once the closed eyes of Bhuvana are opened. Good night.
