“It was the second year or so of me after I joined in your conglomerate Dazzle. Yes, I know about it. Your both families were quite intimated with each other. Your father and I both went to take his dead body to home. His body has become so horrible in that accident. I still can remember……..”
“Oh, George. Please don’t tell me.” My mood changed instantly. I still can remember the day of Nathaniel’s death. The news itself created in me lot of fear and I could not dare to see his dead body.
“What about the other guy? What’s his full name? I think you said it as Chuck….” Changing the subject George asked me.
“Chuck Watson. George, should we talk about him also?” I am feeling quite uneasy after remembering Nathaniel’s death.
“Please. For me.” There is a pleading expression in his face and I just cannot understand for what really he wants to listen all this!
“I must say I enjoyed sex with him also George. He is an expert in it. In fact only for that pleasure I clung to him. Even there is no love like thing between us, I wanted to marry him also as he was so desperate to marry me.”
“Were you both in good terms until his death?”
“No. In the meanwhile I came to know that he was married. After I knew about it I severed all my connections with him.”
“Why so? It is only sex that you wanted from him all the time.”
George’s asking me like that irked me. “I just could not stand him once I knew about that. I don’t want to have it from a married man. Moreover….” After pausing a moment I am saying again “I could not bear the feeling he cheated me.”
“Why that much feeling? You were with him only for that” there is a frown on his face.
“Even there was no love like feeling, I want to marry him also” I am terribly feeling irritation and hissed out.
“Then he died with a heart attack.” The frown is cleared on George’s forehead and he is looking into my face.
“Yes he died with a heart attack. But by the time of his death there was no connection whatsoever with him to me. I never either sentimentally or emotionally attached to him. I felt so bad about the death of Nathaniel’s. But Chuck’s death did not evoke any feeling in me.”
“Anyhow you enjoyed sex thoroughly with him also.” With a meaningful look in his face George said.
“Yes, I have enjoyed it with him as much as I am enjoying it with you.” While looking into his face I am asking him “Are you feeling different now?”
Without answering my question he got on to me fully and realizing his intention I cooperated with him without any reservation. This time it is even more ferocious and demanding on his side and I understood what really made him so.
“Why you are thinking I do feel different?” knitting his brows together he asked me. Still we are on side by side on the bed relaxing ourselves after that heavy acrobat. Neither of us is bothering to get up and dress ourselves. The nakedness like that with him is giving me a sort of pleasure.
“I praised them…..”
“Its alright dear. Every person does have his own capacity and skill in doing it.” Hissing out heavily he is saying. “I am feeling sad that they both died like that.”
“You need not. I am not feeling like that for either of them.”
“What about Nathaniel? Would you have married him if he is alive on this day?”
“Oh, my god!” I sighed heavily. “It was only for pleasure. There would be no love whatsoever in between us both even he is alive on this day.”
“I am glad hearing it.” George got off from the bed and started dressing himself.
“After Chuck’s death………” George turned towards me while I am saying that. “His wife phoned to me.”
“What?” George knitted his brows together. “Why did she phone to you?”
“She wanted to know if I am feeling anything about George. She came to know about me through someone and phoned to me.” I am saying. “I said I am not feeling anything at all about Chcuk. He lied to me even after I came to know about his marriage. He said he and his wife were divorced and she was living separately. But that was not true. They were not divorced. They both were living together by the time of his death.”
By that time George dressed himself completely. But I am feeling quite lazy to get up and dress myself.
“How you have forgotten about yourself Dazzle? What is your position and in what precarious condition always you are? That rogue certainly wanted to lay his hands on your property by making a relationship with you like that.”
“You are absolutely right. How foolishly I have fallen into his trap I cannot understand. He was attractive and appeared quite intelligent also. But that did not mean he was good. I should have been more careful. How much I cursed myself after I knew about his cunning nature you don’t know.”
“Alright, but be careful atleast from now on.” He slumped himself in the chair nearby to the bed. “You are the boss and owner to this conglomerate.”
I came off the bed and started dressing myself. “No George. I am unfit to look after this much of a conglomerate. Only you are capable to do that. To my dad’s organizations go like this without any losses you should be with us always. That is the main reason for my persistence to marry you.”
“But what after me Dazzle? Who looks after all these after my death?”
“Oh, George don’t talk like that.” I went fast to him and kissed on his both cheeks perfunctorily. “I cannot even think like that.”
“We have to accept the facts Dazzle. I am not going to be permanent. I am already forty four. I die sixteen years or so before to you. I am also worrying who is going to be responsible for all these. All alone you cannot do that.”
“We produce someone together George.” With a mischievous smile on my lips I said to him. “We both are already in that process.”
“You are hundred percent right.” Kissing on my lips smoothly George said.

“Menaka, how you are feeling in my home?” we both are in my room then. I sat on my bed and Menaka is in a chair nearby. It is ten in the morning.
“Quite wonderful madam.” With a charming smile on her lips Menaka said.
“Please drop that madam. It is irking me. Call me simply Dazzle.” Mocking irritation in my face I said.
“Alright m….” Menaka bite her tongue between her teeth frames and said. “Dazzle.”
“Have you talked with your mom? It is already two days you entered into my house?”
“Everyday. She does not leave me that easily.” While she is talking her cell phone started ringing. “Oh, my god! Its my mother!” she attended the call immediately.
“Mom, tell me.” She said.
She is listening intently.
“No, mom. Everything is alright here. Don’t bother about me at all.” After few seconds pause she is saying again. “Mom, I know about her reputation. I know how great she is. She is not like as you are thinking of. If you talk with her your opinion on her would be completely changed.” Looking at my face while smiling Menaka is saying.
There is silence again.
“About the investigation? It is going nice. Uncle promised to complete it in one month. So far he completed all his assignments in time. I am hoping the same thing in this also.”
There is silence once again as Menaka is hearing carefully what her mother is saying. In the meanwhile she took her lover lip between her teeth frames and looked into my eyes again meaningfully.
“I never say a ‘no’ to that. Just stick to the decision whatever you take. I shall see him and you send his photo.” By now I understood about what she is talking. “If he is handsome to you mom, he sure would be so to me too. Anyhow I talk to you again after I see his photograph and other things. Don’t delay whats-apping me all that.”
Once again there is a pause.
“Okay mom. I convey my regards on your behalf to her. I so much like that you have a talk with her. You instantly like her. She is that much good.”
There is silence once again.
“Okay mom. Bye.” Menaka cut off the phone and is looking meaningfully into my face again. “I think you understood what has gone between me and my mom so far.”
“Absolutely.” I smiled. “She is just like any other natural mother.”
“And is pestering me always to marry fast. I have no choice but to agree with her. In a way I too want to marry fast. If you hear why my mom is wishing me to marry fast, you feel surprise.”
“Tell me I am prepared to feel surprise.” Looking into the happy face of Menaka I said. Menaka is appearing even younger to her twenty four years of age or so.
“She wants me to have a permanent solution to get it satisfied whenever I feel it so strong. Otherwise she thinks I do go for unfavorable means.”
“What does that mean?” I cannot understand fully what Menaka is trying to say.
“In her opinion if I am having a husband I do go to him for sex whenever I feel for it strongly. Otherwise her fear is I may approach other boys for it.” Menaka sat in the chair opposite to me.
“Really…really she is thinking like that?” I am indeed feeling surprise.
“She is hundred percent feeling like that. In fact it is not just my mother, I am also feeling in the same way.”
I remained silent. In fact I don’t know what to talk.
“The urge in us sometimes is that forcible. Unless, otherwise we have a healthy way….”
“You are absolutely right.” I cut her off. “I myself have suffered such an urge many a time.’ Remembering how many times I have got it like that from Nathaniel and Chuck I said.
“I think mom sent the details by now.” Moving her fingers quickly on her cell phone screen Menaka is saying. “Yes, here is the photo and other details.” Her lips widened with a smile while she is watching the photo. “He is indeed smart. I like this guy. You too see.” Proffering the cell phone towards me she said.
Now I am looking at that guy. What Menaka said is absolutely true. He is very handsome. “You are indeed lucky. Your mom selected quite a handsome guy for you. Your mom really thinks about your good and comfort.”
“I agree with you.” Menaka nodded her head and is saying “What about you? Are not you going to marry soon?”
“My aunt thinks a lot about me. She is also time and again pestering me to marry.” I am saying. “But I am thinking the situation may be more different if my mother is alive on this day.” I already have a discussion about me and my family members fully with Menaka.
“Why? Your aunt replaced your mother in your life. Even you are unlucky in losing your mother like that, you have got an aunt to look after your welfare.”
“You are right Menaka. My aunt……….” I closed my eyes and am saying. “Is in fact more than my mother. But she cannot take as much freedom as my mother takes if she is alive on this day. My aunt cannot force me as your mother is forcing you to marry.”
“Anyhow the problem now is…” Menaka is saying “Some handsome boy must be found out as a bridegroom for you. Your aunt and I may not force you but sure find someone quite handsome for you.”
“No, neither of you need to take such trouble. I already found someone for myself.”
