Adultery The Resonance Vector

[picchimanishi]

My mother-in-law just took a towel and having her bath while Bhargav is eating my lips in his bedroom. Not just him, I too started eating his lips and this happens usually before he leaves to college. We send off each other with raw lip kisses mostly or a kiss of love over my forehead when he does not have time to eat my lips.

 

It’s been a long time since I have opened my eyes. The author has overslept and didn’t know what has happened before I entered into Bhargav’s room and shared a kiss with him. So, I am taking that responsibility to narrate what has happened while author was sleeping.

 

Nothing much has happened since I woke up. It is my daily routine. I woke Vaibhav up to do his daily workouts. Then kids. I, usually, do not enter into Bhargav’s room when people around us, unless they were busy or sleeping. I prepared the breakfast while kids were getting ready for their college and mother-in-law doing pooja. I arranged the kids’ lunch boxes. As usual, Nandu immersed himself in a mobile while eating and I once again reminded him, "Keeping screens away from the table restores mindful eating by allowing your body to naturally sense when it is full." I know understanding those words are highly impossible for Nandu’s age.

 

They left after their college bus has arrived. Then, Vaibhav appeared at dining table with a regular dialogue, “You look so gorgeous when you are indulged with the house chores.” I smiled and said sarcastically, “That’s why I am still sustaining in this house. Otherwise, you would have married a woman much gorgeous than me”. He laughed for that and signaled me to arrange breakfast. I have arranged breakfast for everyone on the table and shouted, “Let’s have the breakfast first. You can carry with your works after this”.

 

My mother-in-law and Bhargav joined us at the dining table, and we had our breakfast with giggles and playful words. Usually, Vaibhav leaves earlier than Bhargav as his office timings are bit earlier than Bhargav class timings. Or this may be the liberty took by the author to create a personal space for me and Bhargav to have our kisses. Sometimes, Bhargav behaves bold and takes out my two milkies if the dress I wear is co operable and munches over them.

 

This is what actually had happened while the author was sound asleep. Now, I am handing over the narrating charge to the author as I don’t know how to take this story forward. Though the story is writing by the author, I am the one actually narrating from the beginning. I begged the author to shift the POV from me to any third person. Still no use. In return I got convinced by the words that my voice is cute than any other. I don’t know how the readers are listening to my voice.

 

After Bhargav left for college, I felt very tired but not in a mood to sleep. I gave my mother-in-law her daily medicines that she has to take after breakfast. Lunch is already prepared as I was preparing the food for the kids’ lunch boxes. So, I will be free till the evening as I feel it is better to clean all the utensils at the same time after lunch.

 

I went into my bedroom and laid on the bed. Took out the novel beneath the pillow as I have placed it after reading some pages before the lights were turned off. I pulled, with the help of bookmark, the exact page at which I have stopped reading last night and started reading.

 

“I used to view the world as a cold, disconnected space where everything just collided by accident. My thoughts were a tangled web of heavy, dark, and exhausting patterns. Yet, the second you arrived, the heavy clouds parted and everything finally became clear. You are the force that brought rhythm to my life, making my entire world feel whole and deeply meaningful.”

 

Wow! What the wonderful lines! Protagonist really feels so deep about her entry into his life. The words are too straightforward to understand; the emotion of the protagonist added the layer and made those lines too emotional. Wait! Wait!!! I feel like I heard the words similar to the concluding words somewhere from the mouth I knew better. Who is that person? What are those words?

 

I am trying hard to collect the incident. My disconnected synapses in my brain started connecting and are helping me to collect the memory which is almost placed in the recycle bin. My brain first retrieved the words I have heard similar. Those words are:

“My life was nothing but background static until you arrived and turned it into a beautiful song.”

Yes. These are the words I heard from my manager, but he was not saying to me. Back then, I have worked as a software developer before taking the prestigious position of daughter-in-law in this house. I felt so poetic about those and turned at the face whom he said to those. It was Jayanthi, my colleague who is 5 years elder to me. This incident actually didn’t happen in the office. I was walking in the park, nearby to my maternal house at my native, in the weekend holiday.

 

I felt so fascinated about those words and turned to have a look and found my manager and senior were involved in illicit affair. I was astonished after finding them there. I wouldn’t have concluded that they were involved in physical illegal affair unless I noticed their position.

 

It is a kind of park in which makes you feel like homo sapiens are extincted. These two are hidden deep inside a bush. I am gazing at the happenings inside the bush. Jayanthi is almost topless and my manager, Ravikanth, is kissing her lips and pressing her milkies with his hands roughly. Her moans are generating in her mouth and dying in his mouth. My thoughts were so naïve by that time. She is married to someone, and he is married to another one. But why these two are doing this here. What happens if their spouses come to know about them?

 

How can they come to know? I have seen them accidentally and this is not the location where they actually live. So, they won’t find anyone who knows them. At office, they never behaved like they were involved in the affair. They behave they are strangers to each other when we are around them. But I didn’t notice how they behave when no one was around them.

 

“Ahh!”, a sharp voice of Jayanthi brought out my thinking world. She was lying with her bottom exposed and legs widened and manager took his position between her legs and her sharp voice obviously conveyed that he entered into her. He pulled his tool till the edge and again pushed with a force making one more,” Ahh!” emanating from her mouth.

 

I left the place leaving them to enjoy their privacy. While I was leaving with the fast pace of footsteps, I heard those footsteps like heavy heartbeats vibrating from my heart. With those heavy heartbeats I opened my eyes and found the paragraph in front of my eyes printed in black color which is contrast to the color of the page which is base for those printed letters.

 

To be honest, Jayanthi and Ravikanth’s affair taught me a lesson of, “If you wear the mask of a quiet, predictable person well enough, you can build an entire burning world right under everyone’s noses, and they will never smell the smoke”. That is exactly what I am doing in this house.

 

Me and my mother-in-law had our lunch, and she went to have sleep. I laid on the bed and started thinking about my situation. Suddenly, a ding-dong sound of our calling bell is chimed. I got surprised as today is not Wednesday to expect Bhargav. I adjusted my dupatta expecting Bhargav might have returned. But I got disappointed when I have opened the door. It is the author with a serious look on the face. “This update is enough for today. Let’s close this chapter here and I want you to have some rest. The next update is about to conclude your story. I want your help and we both need to work on that. So, now go and have some sleep”, said to me. I closed the door and walked disappointedly towards the bedroom and closed my eyes inviting the sleep.
