Aunt's Affection - A Short Story
The moment I stepped inside the house, I collided head-on with my aunt.
She was glaring at me with palpable resentment. Truth be told, I had slipped out to the market without uttering a single word to her. While I was getting ready earlier, she had explicitly mentioned that she, too, needed to visit the market for some urgent errands. She suggested that since I was heading there anyway, she would accompany me; she could procure what she needed while I tended to my own business.
However, she was taking an inordinate amount of time in the shower, which prompted me to surreptitiously make my exit. Granted, on my way back, I was well aware that I would likely face her wrath. Consequently, finding myself suddenly face-to-face with her the moment I entered left me utterly tongue-tied.
But to my utter astonishment, she scarcely reproached me….
On the contrary, she remarked in an exceedingly nonchalant tone,
"Go wash up, I shall serve lunch shortly."
This demeanor struck me as profoundly peculiar. Albeit she was never one to scold me, and perhaps wouldn't have today either, surely she ought to have admonished me somewhat for abandoning her and departing for the bazaar in such a manner.
During lunchtime, when my cousin, my aunt, and I sat at the dining table, her silence persisted. If she spoke at all, it was strictly monosyllabic—only as much as was absolutely imperative for comprehension. She fastidiously avoided any eye contact with me and chose to sit adjacent to my cousin. On any ordinary day, she would invariably sit beside me... but today was entirely different.
For me, this psychological ostracization was nothing short of an emotional affliction! It was simply beyond my endurance to be thus ignored. Therefore, midway through the meal, I resolved that I must, at all costs, dismantle this mounting fortress of ice in her heart before the day ensued.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, once my cousin had departed for her friend’s residence, I emerged from my room and ventured into my aunt’s quarters. I lay down on the bed right beside her, attempting to placate her.
She was reclining flat on her back….
Positioning myself to her right, gazing at her, I gently placed my right hand upon her abdomen. There was no reciprocity from her end. Facing the ceiling with her eyes closed, she rested her left hand upon her forehead and her right hand across her chest. Due to the high velocity of the ceiling fan above, the saree covering her midriff was intermittently displaced, allowing my right palm to easily make contact with her bare skin. After a few moments, I began to slowly caress her abdomen, occasionally dipping my index finger into the perfect contour of her navel.
This persistent stimulation eventually elicited a tremor of movement in her body. She turned her gaze toward me—and the moment I met her eyes, my heart sank, for those doe-like eyes of hers were welling with tears.
For the next few fleeting moments, we gazed at one another in profound silence. Then, in an inexplicable frenzy, we pulled each other into a fervent embrace—she clutching the fabric near my shirt collar to draw me closer, while I gripped her bare waist. Our lips collided, and our tongues engaged in a passionate duel.
At that juncture, all rationality deserted us; our only awareness was the intoxicating fervor driving our actions. This was particularly true for my aunt—her passion and zeal surged to such a crest that she gradually raised herself, looming over me.
As she hovered above me, her pallu slipped from her shoulder, and the soft pressure of her full breasts against my chest sent an exquisite shiver coursing through my entire being. Indulging further in the ecstasy, I devoured her lips and tongue with renewed vigor, and she reciprocated with equal intensity. Emboldened, while keeping my lips locked with hers, I sought to explore further with my hands. I began to stroke her shoulders, subsequently sliding the blouse and bra straps down her arms. Having just bared her shoulders, a sudden impulse overtook me; I moved my hands slightly lower and vigorously kneaded both her breasts through the fabric of her blouse and bra. Six successive caresses yielded no resistance, but on the seventh, she uttered a faint gasp, "Ummahh," paused abruptly, and instantly pulled away from me.
I was entirely unprepared for this sudden cessation. Her abrupt withdrawal left me aching with unfulfilled desire. Readjusting her blouse, bra, and pallu, she averted her face and murmured softly,
"What was about to transpire was gravely erroneous—this must never happen again."
Bewildered by her proclamation, I questioned, "Why do you say that?"
She replied in a subdued whisper, "Forgive me, I was momentarily led astray. I am not a woman of loose morals."
I sat there in astonishment, staring at her for a while, before returning to my room with my head bowed under the weight of an immense guilt. The remorse stemmed from the fact that I, too, had succumbed to the temptation alongside her. Yet, surpassing this guilt was my sheer amazement at how I had initiated it all—from touching her abdomen to kissing her, fondling her breasts, and attempting to strip her blouse. What had possessed us to falter so profoundly?
I had always harbored a certain sentiment toward her, but until today, I had failed to decipher its true nature. Now, it appeared undeniably to be a manifestation of pure carnal desire. While such feelings toward an aunt might be deemed illicit, I believe the impulse itself is inherently blameless—and for someone like me, standing on the 26th step of youth, it is entirely natural.
But was her transgression driven by the same impulse? What could her age be? Forty-four? Forty-five? Or perhaps forty-six? Is it customary for women of her vintage to experience such nascent desires?
'Perhaps it is,' I whispered to myself.
Such inclinations must surely be intrinsic; how else could she have experienced that surge of passion and shared such intimacy with me?
