Adultery Those Piercing Eyes by iloveall

I jumped at this opportunity and replied, "I don't know about your father, but for the Brigadier, I know who can, if she chooses to."


It took some time for her to digest what I said. She then looked at me pointedly and asked, "You mean... you are suggesting that...?"

I meekly nodded my head. She was angry (but not much). She said, "You must be out of your mind even to think of that."

I replied back, "You just said that you would be thankful to that lady for your father. The situation is not much more different here. Is it? Of course, it is your choice." I shrugged my shoulder in complete detachment.

"And you are suggesting this to your wife?" She asked.

I said, "It is just a thought. It does not have to happen. There is no need to do it. There is no compulsion at all. After all, it is entirely our decision on how much we want to help him. Just look at the trouble he went to help us without any obligation and look at what he has done for us."

She said stubbornly, "I don't think I am ready to go along with you. We have to consider our marriage too."

Again shrugging my shoulders, I concluded, "I am with you either way. You are the boss. I will fall in line with what you decide. I will not ask you to do this if you don't want to. However, if you ask me, as far as I am concerned, I would like to go out of our way to help him out just as he did and I see nothing wrong in your being that woman; if you agree. Besides, I must admit that he is smart, strong and very likeable if somewhat older and could be very good in bed."

Sumi punched me hard in my ribs in mock anger. However, I knew that if I was not very wrong, I had hit the nail on the head.

From that day onwards, my wife Sumi was a changed person. She kept talking of the way the Brigadier played with our children and treated them so affectionately. She was trying to prepare herself for something that perhaps she did not know and surely had never done before. She made it a point to take much more care of the Brigadier and to check every day about his health, spent a lot more time with him and noted down what medicines he took at what time. She generally gave him the medicines herself or else checked with the attendant if the Brigadier had taken the medicines or not. In fact to the Brigadier, she became sweetness personified.

The ball between my wife and the Brigadier got rolling. Sumi visited the Brigadier at least twice daily. She served him the medicines and cooked food that occasionally the Brigadier said he liked. When the Brigadier was even slightly unwell, Sumi would rush leaving all work to check how he felt. I looked at the change in her attitude to my neighbour and felt pleased and wondered if something exciting could happen as the result.

Many times during our visits to his house, the Brigadier's children called him from overseas and gradually even they got to know our names and talk to us. They were happy that we were looking after their dad well.

I tried to check surreptitiously if there was anything beyond the normal formal relationship developing between the Brigadier and my wife. However, the results were always the same. Their relationship remained just a tad more than formal but far short of intimate. I never felt that they even hugged sexily at any time. I was sure the Brigadier might have thought of making some moves. However, he did not want to risk ruining the relationship that he had so carefully tried to build up.

I raised the topic once or twice at bed time about their interactions and tried to check with Sumi, if she was considering being 'that woman' for the Brigadier. Her reply was the same, "You told me I am the boss. So wait for the right moment and I will tell you when I am ready."

One day, at about 9 pm, the Brigadier's attendant came running to us and said, "Saab is not well. He has fever. Please call the doctor. He has asked me not to call anyone but you."

We were about to go to bed. Sumi was in her night gown and was preparing to put the children to bed. We immediately dropped everything and rushed to the Brigadier. We found that the Brigadier had high fever. He was semi conscious. We phoned the doctor. The doctor was not in town. On the phone, he asked us to give him some medicines. The servant went and fetched the medicines. The doctor told us that we should watch the Brigadier for the whole night and not let the temperature rise too much.

As soon as we administered required medicines to the Brigadier, the Brigadier's attendant got a phone call from his town. The attendant's father was on the deathbed. The attendant told us that he had to leave immediately right then; but he was reluctant to leave because of the Brigadier's condition.

Sumi asked him to leave immediately and told him that we would look after the Brigadier. The Brigadier had two attendants. One already was on leave. That meant that Sumi and I had to take care of the Brigadier at least for the next two days.
