The Chastity Redefined

She was lost in her thoughts as the bus carried her through the bustling city crowd. Her head was leaned over the window bars of the city bus and her left hand crossed across her torso and with her right hand, she was twitching her ‘Thali’ (Mangal Sutra).
Her eyes looked at the farthest distance aimlessly. She was not even disturbed by the maddening traffic and blaring horns. The bus was fully packed and the atmosphere was filled with mixed body sprays and sweats. Navaneetham was never disturbed by the surroundings. She was in an anxiety state. Her brains were jammed and her eyes filled with a thin layer of tears. She had to confront her husband today to say him that she wanted to quit the job. But she never knew how he is going to react. She had been habituated of his unbounded rage since this last two years. Yet she has to say him or convince him that she wanted to quit the job and search for a new one. What if he asks for the reason? Can she say that her Division head Raja is tormenting her with his romantic looks?
Navanee knew that her husband, Guna had married her only for her job. Navanee’s father could arrange this job through one of his friend as soon as she graduated. It is prestigious concern with all benefits. If Navanee could have tried in the film industry, she would have got signed immediately. Even being too much conservative, Navanee looked tremendous and scintillating. She never dressed in modern costumes. Her mother would have made sure that she got married the next day if she does so. Her family considered everything in the modern era as taboo, leaving alone sending her to a job. She was blessed with a divine beauty that even some female envy her. She had a complexion which almost matched the yellowish early moon of the full moon. Her wide and deep dark eyes were begged by many young men in the locality to just give a glance to them. Her nose was sharp as chiseled and her lips were so prompt to tease a rose bud. Her figure could challenge any anatomist in the world. Da vinci would have preferred to draw her nudity with a Contè Crayon. Few of her friends would tease her by pinching her soft fluffy cheeks. Her lightly curled long hairs nuzzled her voluptuous bottom. They swayed like a black cobra over the well mounded butts.
Soon Guna’s parents met her father and she was married in the next month. Guna could never believe that he got married to her, a girl with a good job of handsome salary and with such beauty. Guna cannot be compared low to any handsome young man. He was tall and well built, an engineer, who worked for a reputed concern. Guna always wanted to come out of the middle class brand. He worked hard and insisted Navanee to do so. He was materialistic. He even delayed to have baby. Navanee could not cope up with the demanding family to which she was married. She had to look after the entire domestic core and then she had to go for the job. She could not complain it to her family as she knew that her family would also support her in-laws. Guna was more towards her salary than her. He is not a poor lover but he was not too passionate. Navanee had read few love letters given to her during her college days and found how romantic they were. She never reciprocated to those epistles.
Now she had a swirling turbulence of her life time waiting for her. She was happy with her job these two years until Raja, the Division head of her unit arrived from Vizag. Raja is a single man. His body proved that he spent his spare time in gymnasium. He was dark but had good looks. In job he was too adamant for any compromise. His ability to push men at corners provided him the gateway to promotions. He was too good an administrator and never moved close with his co-workers. His voice always had the commanding tone. He was deliberately brought to this unit by the management. Even before his arrival, rumors about his stubborn cantankerous character had reached the firm. Whole of the unit looked bewildered at him. He spoke softly but could push his demand in a way that no one could dare to reject it. He was so powerful to vanish off his enemies in to a thin dust. He had the capability to ruin people and many a times did it to his rivals. In simple language he was ruthlessly cunning and dangerously intelligent.
Raja never had to run behind females, they offered themselves for his powers and charms. Twenty seven year old Raja noticed the scintillating 23 year old married young Protocolist and project designer, Navanee as soon as he entered the office. Marital status of the female of his interest never used to bother him. He always had his way through by some means. He knows the weakest area of his prey and had many women irrespective of married and unmarried status in his bed and they kept coming back as he was a tremendous lover. He knew how to make love to each woman. He never failed in anything and always takes it as an ego issue. Even he knew that Navanee is married and he never bothered and within a few months he started to move his coins towards her, which bothered Navanee a lot. She felt uneasy in his presence. His looks troubled her. He made her stay even after the working hours taking excuse of some important job. He had already hinted Navanee about his desire. She was more bewildered than troubled. She once wanted to take aide of her husband and soon changed her mind. She knew her husbands loose temper. Even nothing is wrong with her; he would only complain her and make a scene in the home.
After lot of thoughts Navanee decided to quit the job. She is no match to the powers of Raja. Raja can do what ever he plans and decides. So the best and only option left with Navanee was to quit and search for a new job. Now she had gathered all her guts and decided to reveal it to her husband that she is quitting her job.
Navanee was settling everything back in kitchen after the family had their dinner. She never wore a night gown and always remained in sari at home and in bedroom. She walked to her room wiping her face with the loose end of the sari. Guna was engrossed in the newspaper and ignore to notice her at all. As she bolted the door and sat beside her husband over the cot, he just grunted his throat without taking the eyes off the paper. She knows how chauvinistic he is. Navanee felt an unknown mass sticking up her throat. Even she was prepared to tell her husband that she wanted to quit the job, her body shivered in panic. Guna was not giving up the paper and the wall-clock sang it was 10′O clock.
Navanee decided to start, “I need to talk with you something important”
Without taking the eyes off the newspaper he grunted, “Hmm” as a signal to go ahead.
Navanee stammered with words, “I mean .. that.. I..”
He looked at her, “You..?” he looked at her inquiringly.
Navanee swallowed hard and looked at him bewildered. Guna stared deep inside her eyes and she dropped her glance. He roared almost clenching his teeth in a low voice, “Come on. You were up to something” Navanee shuddered with a thick fear clogging her throat. She bit her lower lip and tried to look at him. Guna hissed once again, “Come.. on”
Navanee knew she had to disclose the matter to her husband to escape the torments of that sneaking wolf Raja. She slowly cleared her throat swallowing hard and went on looking down, “I want to resign this job and look for some other one”
Before she finished it Guna snapped, “What?” his eyes fumed with rage.
Navanee looked bewildered and pleaded him, “Slowly. Athai (Mother-in-law) could hear us” Many a times she pleaded in the same way when he pounded her semi nude body hard as the cot creeks. Those times he enjoyed those words and now it was different.
He was trembling with anger, “Are you insane? Quitting the job? Can you imagine monthly 22,000 rupees falling short in budget?” he looked horrible and scowled, “Never utter such words”
Navanee tried to convince him, “I am not quitting the job. I am going to search for the other”
Guna laughed mockingly, “Who is there to offer it to you in a golden plate. You know what is the condition of employment outside? And I want to know a good reason for your ridiculous decision and what is the wrong with this job?”
Navanee’s eyes filled with tears, she looked down as the tears rolled down her cheeks, “My boss… is .. tormenting me. His gestures are tortures”
He simply told, “Complain it to head office”
She continued between her gasps as she wept, “You don’t know him. He is such a cunning horrible man. He can ruin me if I do so. He has good influences over the head office and he is one of the stalwarts of the company”
Guna looked at her for sometime thinking, “See! Just ignore him. He will become normal if he doesn’t get a positive response from you” and he looked at her with an indifferent look and told, “It is your fault. You’re dressing in such a way that you’re inviting men to bed. Isn’t there any other female in your office? Why he targets you? That’s the reason” Navanee’s body went limp as she felt massive weight drops over her entire body. She bit her lips and shuddered to control the bursting cry roaring inside. She never dressed revealing anything, few of her colleagues named her “Carnatic”.
Guna looked at her with a venomous look and went back to his paper. Navanee wiped her tears with her loose end of the sari and told firmly, “I am going to quit” before she could complete, she felt her left cheek burn as it caught fire. Stars flown in her eyes as she got that slap. Before she could regain herself she felt her mane bunched in her husband’s fist and he pulled her to feet. The pain was stinging through her back of the neck.
He growled, “You fucking whore! Slut! Never…Never try to teach me your authority. Okay” he pulled her face close and bit her lips, pushed her across the cot and pulled up her sari and petty-coat in one sweep to her waist. He pulled a packet of condom from the bedside drawer and growled at her, “Roll it over, Bitch”. Navanee obeyed like a slave with tears running down her cheeks. He was all over her. Navanee lay there lifeless as only tears rolled down the side of her eyes as her husband fucked her dry femininity.
The next morning her mother-in-law looked coldly at her. Navanee avoided her gaze and tried to concentrate on the cooking. When she went with a coffee to her, her mother-in-law looked coldly towards her and inquired, “Is that true what I am hearing?” Navanee stood in silence.
She continued, “You always complain about men and their behavior towards you. Do you think you are Miss World?” This is only the second time Navanee is complaining about someone’s behavior towards her.
Her mother-in-law continued with a cold voice, “Stop your nonsense and never talk about quitting the job. If there is a young female working around, men will try like this. Ignore them and do your duty that’s all.” And everything was clear to Navanee, that her in-laws and husband never going to help her out. Everything suddenly turned hell to her. In the work place a flesh lusting beast and in the home money thirsted wolves. She bit her lip and wept alone in the kitchen.
When she was about to leave for her office her mother-in-law came to her. Her voice was so strong and adamant, “See Navanee! We are arranging our daughter’s marriage. Guna and you are only going to take the burden. Never try to ruin my daughter’s life. I know for what you are doing all this trick of quitting the job. Forget all tricks. If my daughter doesn’t get her husband neither you will have your husband. You have to go back to your home. Once .. for.. all”. The old pig turned about and walked inside. Navanee’s heart sank inside the depths of her. She never knew why all this happening to her. Her Mother’s place was a strict convent. Her working place is a torture camp and her marital home is hell. Her eyes burnt as the tears whelmed up.
She never made any friend neither in her office nor in the locality. She always felt better confined to her own self. She had none to share her feelings with. Her shoulder drooped as the burden raises over her head.
As she reached the office she was happy to see that Raja was not there. Soon she was allotted with a new project and her team leader told her to finish it by the pack-up. She felt light as the beast was away but her happiness never lasted long as Raja walked in to the office after attending a meeting from head office. He passed a glance towards her cabin and walked inside his own cabin. Navanee felt nervous as she was called by Raja through intercom.
As soon as she entered the cabin Raja just ran his eyes over body inquiring her, “When you are going to complete the project?”
Navanee felt embarrassed as he ogled her body, “By the time of pack-up I’ll complete it Sir”
“Not much hurry. Take your own time. I have instructed your team leader. Today in head office I talked about your efficiency. I kept you in my dream team”
“Thank You Sir. May I go Sir?”
“Just a thanks”
“Then”
“What about a coffee together. Iyer’s café provides the best”
“No! Thanks Sir. I don’t go out with anyone except my husband”
“Navanee! You are in corporate field and you should be little social. That will improve your career” Navanee could smell the fish in his bait.
She looked cold at him and told, “If that’s going to be the criteria for promotion, I will resign Sir. I have some values”
Raja laughed aloud. For the first time she is seeing Raja laughing. Despite of his ruthless cunningness he looked handsome. But Navanee never bothered how handsome he looked.
He continued, “So you are talking about your ridiculous chastity”
Navanee snarled in her deep throat, “Someone who never knows to respect a female never understands the values of chastity. As far as I am considered I take it as my prestigious possession”
“You know one thing Navanee? This male chauvinist society made this chastity. I never believe such things actually exist at all. They made it to own her, to ensure the son is their own. This is a myth and a magic to control over female”
“I never worried about the founder and about its true cause. But I am proud of it and I will be more proud of it. Thank you for the information Sir. I am leaving” She turned and walked out fuming with rage.
She was grinding her teeth, “Rascal! How dare he could talk such nonsense with me? Let him be the boss, but I will teach him where he should stand while talking to a woman”
The whole day Raja has not turned up to her. He was busy with visitors and the rest of the day with auditors. Navanee felt happy that she had tamed him. But when everyone was packing up he passed a glance to her with a meaningful smile. Navanee ignored him and walked off.
In home every one behaved indifferent. She did her duty by making their dinner and as a last person she finished her dinner and walked back to her room. Guna was fast asleep and she felt happy that she escaped the ritual love making without a bit of love in it. The next few days passed peacefully for Navanee as Raja has also gone out of station and in her marital home no one talked but the job. Within a few days Raja turned back and was busy with his schedule and Navanee spent her time easily and months rolled off.
As Raja never returned to Navanee, she took it granted that he had mend his ways. In her marital home, marriage arrangements for her sister-in-law started in full swing. The groom side demanded for 75 sovereigns of gold as dowry. Navanee’s mother-in-law decided that the 50 sovereigns’ jewelry and the silver utensils given for Navanee will be used for her daughter’s marriage.
When Navanee protested her mother-in-law showed her real colour, “See! My son is an engineer still you people gave only 50 sovereigns. Now you could assess the market of the groom, a normal accountant is asking for 75 sovereigns. Either you bring another 50 sovereigns from your home or let your jewels be used for her marriage” Navanee was broken to pieces by the words of the old witch. She knew that her father never will able to give a single penny to her.
When her mother-in-law saw Navanee cracking up, she pushed the pawn to her queen, “Or else you apply for a loan from your office, if you want to keep the jewelry for yourself”
Navanee told in a moaning tone, “No Athai! It is not feasible. Already for the marriage expenses, I have taken a loan of 2 lacs and given you and I am not eligible for the loan now”
Her mother-in-law softly told her, “I know Navanee, that’s why I decided to add your jewelry in her dowry. Guna also availed loan to his capacity” tears rolled down Navanee’s cheeks when those hyenas stripped every flesh out her body. She desperately wanted to save her jewelry; “I will try my level best to get a loan Athai” The witch exhaled and smiled with satisfaction.
The next day Navanee applied for a loan of 2 lacs through her mail to Accounts section and CC to Raja. When next day she arrived to her cabin and logged in, she found a mail popping out. She knew it was her loan approval. Navanee opened the mail and froze. The mail read, “Hereby it is intimated to you that you may please clarify the inefficiency and unreliability notice filed over you by your division head. And the head office is noticing constantly over each employee’s proficiency graph and found your performance since last six months as unsatisfactory. You may please show cause for why you may not given a memo for the same”
Navanee’s body shivered with fear. She knew it now her loan would never be approved and after the memo, soon she may be removed from the job. She would have to pay the loan amount back. Navanee stifled the sob escaping her lips by biting over it hard enough to make even more red. She quickly moved to the toilet and leaned over the wall and the voices echoed in chorus inside her mind, “..why you may not given a memo for the same….. found your performance since last six months as unsatisfactory… clarify the inefficiency and unreliability notice filed over you by your division head.. clarify the inefficiency and unreliability notice filed over you by your division head” the sentenced echoed in her mind liking a invading “Satan”. A sudden burst of cry blasted out from her lips and she choked her mouth with the loose end of her sari. Her body shrugged as she cried in the loneliness. She now knew how the slaying Raja had played his games. He had once approved her loan and now fixed her job in go let go condition. She knew she had got fixed inside the vice trap crafted by Raja.
She trembled with fear thinking of the consequences. She is almost ruined. Navanee kept sobbing and thinking for the next action. She was unable to think as her mind was fully occupied by the rage over husband, mother-in-law and her division head…The invincible Raja, the astute predator. She decided to face him. She washed her face and wiped it with her hand kerchief and walked towards Raja’s cabin.
As she entered, Raja lifted his head from a file he was looking in to. There was a cold smile cajoling his lips. Navanee was loosing control over her temper as he prodded her exposed crack on her armour. To stabilize herself she held the table end with her hands tightly. He coolly told her, “Take your seat please, Navanee”
She snapped with hoarse voice, “Mrs. Navaneetham Gunasekaran” He almost chuckled on it. He was mocking with her as a cat does with a snake.
She sat in front of him and took few deep breaths and stared at him coldly ignoring his eyes roaming over her voluptuous boobs covered in the sari. Raja could not see the same shy and naïve Navanee. He was looking at a different woman, who looked like Amazon warrior woman breathing fire. It’s not new to Raja. He had witnessed it several times when he defeats his foes and he was not intimidated by her looks rather he got aroused over his creeping victory. Raja leaned comfortably on his push-back cushion, then raised and dropped his single eyebrow in gesture of “WHAT”. Navanee snarled still in a cold hoarse voice, “What do you want?”
Raja laughed mildly, “This not the place to settle disputes, sweet heart”
Navanee controlled herself as he openly called her so, “I may have to go to woman police for this molestation, Gentleman. You will be ruined”
Raja smiled at her and coolly told, “I can have my alibis, Darling. You have already got your disapproval from head office. The history of the last six month is filed in the form of mail. When I decide to wage a war, I will plan it meticulously. I can just say the court; you are trying to save your job by accusing me, making me a victim and taking advantage of law. The court will believe me considering my records as a perfect gentleman. I will walk out from court and you from this concern. Where you will go after exposed to the public? No one will ever appoint you. And.. and .. you are ruined, Baby”
Navanee looked dejected at him as the truth stung her like a snake.
Raja leaned over his elbows and with a very smooth edged voice continued, “There is always a way out of every problem. Life is trading. Give something .. and.. take something”
Navanee bowed her head in defeat.
Raja looked at her bowed head and told, “How beautiful you are? How slender? I never lusted for anyone so much, Beauty. Wait for me as the office closes. Let us settle the deal. Now you may leave” Navanee dragged her feet every inch and walked out, embarrassed in an utter defeat.
Navanee sat in her cabin with tears rolling down her cheeks and constantly wiping it. She could not concentrate over her job. She worked on alternate possibilities to cross him out and pitifully she found none. She cannot turn home jobless; her greedy in-laws may go to the extent of throwing her out of home. She cannot arrange two lacs of ransom at this juncture.
As the clock ticked away she felt herself trembling and getting colder. And the peak time reached everyone was shutting down their system and she just stared at the glowing screen. Once everyone was out, she heard a grunt and immediately knew it was Raja standing behind. She never turned. He told, “Come down to the retiring room” and walked crossing the corridor. Navanee sat there for few minutes. She broke in to a shrugging sob as the predator loathed around and moved in. She was in the hunter’s trap and she knew it. What’s the way out? Her mind rolled as fast as it could and nothing came to the surface. Slowly she walked to wards the retiring room at the end of the corridor with her shoulders drooping downwards in shame.
Once she was in, she could see Raja sitting over the couch humming a song and turning a magazine. He never raised his head from the magazine and told, “Bolt the door” Navanee stood there leaning her back over the wall without any response. He raised his head from the magazine and smiled seductively at her and walked towards her. Navanee felt as she was shrinking in to nothingness. But Raja walked to the door and closed it with the bolt. Now he neared Navanee and she moved back as she was trying to bury herself in the wall. She shuddered as he placed his hand over her shoulders and caressed it, “Stunningly beautiful” she shrugged her shoulders, he gripped her shoulders hard and he could hear her sob. He held her face in his arms and lifted her face. He could see her face had broken in to a weep, her nostrils flaring in frequent breaths and her eyes were closed. He ran his thumb over her lips.
Suddenly Navanee pushed him so hard that he had to take few steps backward. Raja was not ready for that, he was too strong for that dove like woman. Navanee looked obsessed, she pulled her loose end of the sari taking it off from her blouse clad breast in one go and opened her hands wide and started to yell at him, “Come on take me! You wanted my flesh, you blood thirsted beast. Take me. Eat my flesh, drink my blood. What else is left? And cut my throat off when you finished. I don’t want to live this awful life” and suddenly she broke in to cry, “I am already dead” she slapped her palms over her face and went kneeling over the floor and wept, closing her face with her both hands.
Between the sobs she cried, “What sin I committed to take this birth? You people are eating me alive. I led a life like a nun, confined between walls in my maternal home. My marital home is treating me like money tending machine. My husband thinks I am his whore and you want my flesh and skin” she groaned in her cry and continued in whisper looking at him, “I have no brothers, no friends and no shoulder to lean over” she broke in to heart squeezing cry, “I am alone. Take me. Eat me and kill me” She lay there knelt on the floor, hands cupping her face and her head continuously ramming over the floor. She could hear the foot steps nearing and then moving off towards the door. The bolt clicked open and comes the grunting voice, “Get up. Wash your face and go. Your family may be waiting for you”
Navanee lay there for sometime and got up adjusting her sari, wiping her tears off the reddened cheeks and turned towards Raja. He was a different man, his eyes were smoky and his face was frozen like an ice. He waved his arm gesturing her to move out. She slowly walked across him covering her slim shoulders with the loose end of her sari. She went to toilet inside the office and made herself. When she crossed his cabin, through the glass she could see Raja leaning over the push back seat in his office with closed eyes. She walked off.
The next morning when she checked in and logged, she read the mail from Raja to Head Office and a copy to her. The mail read, “The employee was personally interviewed by me. The inefficiency she showed this period is due to the prevailing tough domestic conditions at home. The employee is hard pressed and financially challenged. Considering her previous records, which proved her as an efficient worker and best asset of the unit, she may be supported by the firm. Granting the requested loan to her will enable her to bail out of the prevailing situation and to earn her loyalty towards the firm. I counseled her and made sure that she will be concentrating more over her projects. I hereby strongly recommend her undoubted efficiency” Navanee was melting down. Soon after the break she got the loan approval through mail.
She entered her Boss’s office. Raja looked at her with a warm smile. Navanee never know how to start. She blurted, “Thanks for everything, Sir” Raja stood up and told, “It’s Okay Mrs. Navaneetham. You can proceed further. Forgive me for the..indecent behavior of mine” she bowed her head and walked out. Before she leaves the door Raja told, “And thanks for making me a human back” she turned to face him. He looked very calm and first time she felt that he is extremely handsome. His tall stand and dark color added more dignity to his stature. His features were sharp. He more looked like his name “King with pride and honour”.
She felt something rolling from her stomach to her throat and tears rolled down her cheeks. Raja nodded his head in disapproval seeing her weep. She wiped her tears with her kerchief and asked naughtily turning the situation light, “What about a coffee together. Iyer’s café provides the best” Raja broke in to a smile and agreed, “Thank you. But after the working hours”
In the evening they traveled in Raja’s car to Iyer’s café. He took her to the table. But Navanee insisted on going to a family room. Raja looked at her inquiringly. She told, “I need to talk to you personally” he shrugged his shoulder and walked to the family cabin.
As the coffee arrived, she started to sip it and asked, “If you don’t mind. May I ask you something, Sir” Raja closed his eyes in approval. Navanee continued, “What brought this change?” Raja looked at her for sometime as he was lost in a far past. He grunted and told, “I could not find any difference between you and me, Ma’m. My life was beautiful until the age of 13. One terrible day, the fate snatched my mother and father out of my hands. I landed in my uncle’s home. My maternal uncle was a good man. But he was entirely controlled by my aunt. I faced the life full of naked truth therefore. I was treated like a servant without payment by aunt. I was heavily tasked with day to day duty. Even I inherited the fortune left by parents, I was denied to own it. And she took it all. I was put up in a cheap government school whereas their foolish children studied in convents. I was given cotton trousers and they enjoyed the luxuriest costumes. My life was pain for my own self. I developed a strong hatred towards female. Once tried for suicide and dropped the idea. I wanted to live like a lion and I worked hard. I topped in everything. I learnt to defeat men on their own grounds. The first revenge I took was seducing my aunt’s daughter and took her to bed. I made her beg for me and ditched her. I started to rule over women. I developed a love for victories and I never looked back. Until I met you, I saw woman as something else. Sorry! I made it like that on that day. I hated my self that day” he looked at his coffee and sipped it. Navanee stayed silent there. Slowly she asked, “Why don’t you marry” Raja smiled wryly and told looking down, “Recently I fell in love with a divine lady. I cannot give that place to some other girl. Unfortunately she is someone’s….” he stopped. Navanee swallowed hard.
Raja without looking at her went to the counter and settled the bill. Navanee followed him. Raja without turning to her, “I hope you can get a cab back home. Good bye” he took two steps and stopped, without turning his head he told gravely, “No one dares to invade my mind so authoritatively… stay way. Let this be the last time we meet” First time Navanee felt her soul paining, when he turned his face away from her. She watched as his car rolled out and vanishes.
The marriage ceremony of her sister-in-law was over and Navanee turned to her profession as before. She noticed Raja deliberately avoiding her. He moved without looking at her and he never interacted to her. Navanee few weeks back vehemently wanted this, but now her soul pained as he ignored. Now and often she shook her head remembering her marriage.
In another two months, she got promoted to Senior executive, Operations. Navanee worked at her best all these months. Not to impress the firm, but to impress Raja. She expected at least he will come and appreciate her for her job. Obviously he appreciated, but not to her. He recommended her for the post and got her promoted. Her heart cried out, “Please don’t ignore me Raja. At least you can talk to me as friend” The days turned into months and he never turned to her.
Once she went for shopping and reached the market and found a melee over there. She was confused and frightened. She came to know due to some political leader’s arrest a strong riot was created by his supporters. Navanee was frightened to the core seeing the shops pulling the shutters in hurry and buses being burnt down. Masses rushed here and there in the melee. Navanee came to the main road half running. She looked for some cab and no one stopped and they were rushing out of the scene. Suddenly she felt a strong arm encircling her waist. She wriggled away in frenzy and could see a ruffian drunk to his throat smiling wickedly at her, “Hi! Beauty” Navanee shuddered, “Chee! Leave me alone” He rushed to her and yelled at someone holding her waist. Navanee wriggled in his arms.
Suddenly she felt some one slaps the ruffian so hard and he tumbled down. Navanee turned and found Raja stood there towering her with all fury in his eyes. She felt as she was in the hands of God himself. Few men ran towards them and Navanee took hide behind Raja. Navanee pleaded him holding his hand, “Sir. Let’s move” But Raja was not moving. He was clenching his fist. As they neared with sticks in their hand, Raja punched the face of the man who came first. His punch was so hard that the man bleed through his nose and mouth, the others received the same treatment. He kicked another in his stomach and made him thrown off his feet. Soon they were running away as foxes do while they confront a lion.
In the situation Navanee forgot that she was hugging Raja from behind digging face on his back. Raja slowly unwrapped her hands from his waist and pulled her to his front. Navanee was dying in shame. She was bowing her head down until Raja questioned her, “Why you came alone. Where is your husband?” she stammered for words.
Raja walked off and started his bike and brought it near her. She climbed the pillion without a word. As the bike roared down the road, Navanee watched Raja from behind. His hairs were flying like lions mane and his perfume was smooth mixed with his sweat. It was so fascinating to her. She controlled herself from not falling in love with him. He was so manly; she remembered how he thrashed those ruffians. She thought what her husband would have done in that situation. He would have probably run away from there, she thought. Her soul cried, “Why Raja, Why you haven’t seen me before my marriage? I would have walked along with you” suddenly an auto rickshaw crossed and Raja slammed the breaks. Navanee almost dived over him crushing her soft, round and firm boobs over his back. Immediately she drew back but she doesn’t take her right hand off his shoulder. Raja half-turned his head towards her and started his bike on gear. Navanee felt how strong he was by touching his shoulder. This the first time she is touching him. Many a time he had touched her while trying to seduce her in the retiring room and even now when pulling her to the front, when she hugged him from behind. Suddenly she bit her tongue as she realized that is not the first time she is touching him, she already hugged him crushing her boobs over his back. She remembered how she felt while hugging him and chillness ran through her spine contrast to the heat prevailing between her thighs. She wanted to stay like that all through her life.
She came to her senses when the bike came to a stop; she realized that she has come near her area from where her house is in walkable distance. Raja spoke softly, “Get down. Your family may not approve if I drop you at the door step” She walked to his front and placed her hand over his hand, which was resting over the handle bar holding the clutch lever. They spoke nothing and their eyes met each other. Navanee’s eyes were pouring love and thanks and her lips quirked. Her hand slowly caressed his hand. He dropped his gaze and told, “Bye”. He released his clutch and moved his bike, Navanee’s hand slipped off caressing his hand as the bike moved. She stood there looking at him; he never looked back and flew in his bike as his loose shirt fluttered in the air. For the first time the sentence slipped from her lips that only she could hear, “I love you, Raja”
Navanee felt elated and happy. An unknown feel filled her body and heart, she felt as if she is flying in cloud nine. As soon as she reached her home she went to take bath. In the bathroom she splashed the water and danced singing a favorite song. She turned in to a 16 year old girl. She took her bath leisurely and enjoyed every bit of it. Now and often Raja’s face came to her mind and she never felt like this in her life. For sure she knew that she is in love with Raja, whom she hated the most.
The next day she was eagerly waiting to go to office. She dressed up herself by 7:30 in the morning itself. She took lot of care in dressing up. Everyone in her in-laws home looked at her wondering her happiness. Her husband Guna looked at her and immediately wanted her in bed, she never looked so beautiful and energetic. But the situation in the home will never allow him to take his wife to bedroom and make love. As the clock sang 8′O clock, Navanee left to her office. She was too early. To other’s astonishment she wished everyone good morning with a bright smiling face. Even one or two asked whether it is her birthday. She waited eagerly for Raja and the clock kept ticking and he never shown up. She was cursing him within. The day passed and he never came. The next day went the same way. The office was running without its invincible Boss. Navanee felt too sad without seeing him, his whereabouts are not known. She slowly approached the desk in-charge and asked, “Sir, What happened to Boss” He replied indifferently, “He is sick and on leave for this week”
“What Happened?” Navanee was really concerned
“Typhoid, I think so”
Navanee wanted to see him immediately. She went to her cabin and searched the computer and got his address. She went back to her desk in-charge and told that she is taking half day permission. He checked with the authorities and granted her.
Navanee rushed to the entrance and got a cab. She told the driver, “Anna Nagar”. She reached the multi stored apartment and searched for “F” block and she got the lift to the fourth floor. As the door of the lift opened, she could see ‘D3′ written on the door. She arranged her dress and walked near the door and pushed the calling bell button. Inside the calling bell sang in cute cuckoo’s tone and the door clicked open after few seconds.
She was shocked to see Raja, he looked terrible. His eyes were like two sockets and a three days beard over his jaw. He looked surprised and looked behind Navanee, “You came alone?” She nodded with a smile and entered the home. The place was neat and clean. She looked at him and asked, “Can’t you give me a call?” she place her outer palm at his neck and checked for the fever and immediately her face looked too concerned, “Did you shown up to a doctor” Raja nodded in approval.
Navanee looked around and no one can say it’s a bachelor’s room. Everything was in place and walls were decorated by paintings and all were signed RAJA. An acoustic guitar stood in the corner very seductively. The shining marks over the fret board assured her it was frequently played. She turned back to him; he was sitting on the couch, throwing his head back with closed eyes. She exhaled and looked around; all the drapes were pulled close.
She tucked her loose end of the sari in the waist and walked up to the windows and pulled all the drapes open. Raja tried to put his hand in front of his eyes to avoid light. Navanee reprimanded him with concern, “If you keep everything closed like this naturally you will fall sick” Raja watched her as she moved with an authority in his home. She looked like an angel from heaven. Even Navanee felt free, this home is not like her in-laws home. Here she felt free and homely. She asked him to take rest and entered the kitchen; it was as clean as the hall.
The kitchen was decked up with all modern commodities. She made two cups of tea and entered the bedroom. Raja was sitting over the king size bed and was leaning his head over the palm. Navanee sat next to him and shook his shoulder, “Tea, please” he took the cup and started to sip on it. Navanee asked, “Had your breakfast?” Raja plainly looked at her, she felt concerned. He had not taken breakfast. She immediately went inside the kitchen and started to prepare the rice porridge, searching each and everything. She came with the steaming cup in her hand and handed it over to Raja. As he completed it, “Where is your medicine, Raja” she asked him as she walked towards the closet and he looked at her. This is the first time she is calling him by name.
He queried, “Why are you doing all this to me?” Navanee stopped near the cupboard looking at the floor. Her inner voice yelled, “Because I love you” but she kept mum and felt Raja walking closer. He slowly raised her chin with his index finger and again he asked, “Tell me” their eyes met and glued with each other. Raja bent his neck and Navanee could feel his mustache poking her upper lips. She closed her eyes and opened her lips. Slowly he kissed her lips and took her lower lip in his mouth. Her arms instinctively went around his neck. She raised her body on her toes and clung to his robust body. Being kissed by another man than her husband aroused her, more than that he is the man, who actually Navanee loved from the core of her heart. He encircled her slim waist with his arms and pulled her closer. She moved to his ministrations. He caressed her back as his tongue snaked inside her warm mouth.
When he kissed the root of her conk shaped neck, she hissed in his ear, “Please Raja, I am married” he stayed frozen in his action as he was thinking something. Even Navanee has asked him to stop; really she wanted him to go further. He released her from his grip, but Navanee’s hand stayed like a garland around his strong neck. Navanee looked disappointed as Raja took her hand away. He took few steps back looking down the floor. Slowly he raised his gaze to her, as their eyes met; they both saw tears on each others eyes.
Raja in docile voice told her, “Go away Navanee. Please, go away before we do something that we will repent for. Go away”
Navanee broke in to a sob and ran in to him hugging him tightly, digging her face in to his massive chest. He could not stop himself from throwing is arms around her back. Navanee could feel his tears over her shoulder and gripped him more tightly.
Raja hissed, “Go away Navanee. I cannot ruin the woman’s life, who I love to the core. Please, leave me. Don’t turn, walk away. Your marriage may be ruined. Go away sweet heart”
Navanee told him between her sobs, “I can’t. I have to look after you. You need me Raja”
He begged her, “Ple…ase my heart” he pushed her gently and turned away. Navanee walked towards him and kissed his back, “I will do whatever you say. I am going, but not from your life. Take care. Please take care. I need you badly”
Raja begged her, “Please do it fast, before I burst in to tears in front of you. It had been since long I cried” he could hear her anklets and bangles clinging as she walked away and smell the diminishing aroma of her.
Raja never could understand in what sort of feeling he is? He is too elated and also too worried.
After two days Raja joined the office. Navanee looked at him eagerly and she could make out the twinkle in his eyes. Even though he was not smiling at her, his eyes did. She waited for sometime and walked inside his cabin. He was already having an interview with the desk in-charge. He politely asked Navanee to wait.
As the desk in-charge walked away, Navanee took the seat in front of him, “How are you feeling now?”
He looked at the file and answered, “Great”
She got irritated, “Can’t you answer seeing me”
Raja looked at her dejected and told, “Navanee, Please! This is office. What if someone comes to know? You are risking your marriage”
“I already risked my marriage marrying my sadist husband”. Navanee got up and turned then stopped, “I want to clarify only one thing”
“What?”
“Do you love me?” he remained in silence. She turned around in fury and looked at him. He was looking at the floor. Now after the fever he looked even handsome and desirable to her. As he was not answering, she swiftly turned around and walked off. She avoided meeting him the whole day, but she sent her lunch to him. She knew that he gives off everything for sea-foods. She was happy when her lunch box came empty. Soon a packed lunch from Saravana Bhavan arrived at her table. She ate it tasting every single grain; it was her lover’s treat. In the evening when she packed up, she gave a look to his cabin. His eyes pleaded and it seemed that he will catch hold of her feet begging to leave, she was smiling inside her as the roaring lion went submissive in front of her.
In the night when her husband made love to her, she remembered how Raja moved along her body. Guna was no comparison to Raja. Even Raja’s simple touches aroused her, here Guna was plunging his tool inside her and she could only think about Raja. How powerful is his manliness? She closed her eye and imagined that Raja is fucking her. Suddenly her body responded. Guna was too happy that he made his wife too hot. He never knew there is a stranger, who had already invaded his wife’s soul. When she thought about Raja, she hissed, “Raja….” as her husband’s phallus rubbed the inner wall of her cunt. Guna was shocked to hear that, but Navanee could immediately resolve it by moaning again, “My Raja.. Hmmm” Guna again felt elated and pounded her hard.
Few days passed and the DGM visited the office. After few meetings he called Navanee to the conference hall. When Navanee arrived, the DGM was having some talks with Raja. She stood there and kept noticing Raja and his movements. Her heart melted in love. She thought, “How manly this stupid is? He is nightmare to his rivals and a stalwart to his bosses. He resembles a lion when he moves. Still when it comes to me.. he is tamed and naïve” Raja noticed her and called up. Navanee reached the table and took her seat as it was offered by her DGM.
DGM, “Mrs. Gunasekaran, there is a three day meeting in Bangalore. We prefer you to go there and do the needful. This we decided after going through many profiles. You’re ahead of everyone”
Navanee, “Am I going alone, Sir?”
DGM, “Obviously not” he looked at Raja and told, “Mr. Rajasimman will be there along with you” Raja sat up with a bolt and inquired, “Sir, you told me that Mrs.Navanee is going there”
DGM continued with a smile, “Mr. Rajasimman, how you thought that the meeting is going to be fulfilled without you?”
Raja don’t want to argue further, “Sir, Already jobs are piled up in this unit and my presence is much required” Navanee looked at him with fury filled in her eyes.
Raja avoided her gaze and told, “And moreover I require a change, Sir. I was about to talk to you about a transfer for me” Almost tears made a thin line in her eyes. She stared at him as she would kill him for those words.
DGM, “Before you could ask we have already thought about it. Now think about the current happenings. How about going to Bangalore” Raja looked both of them and told, “I will let you know before today’s pack up, Sir” The DGM rose and shook hands with both of them and took a leave. Navanee looked Raja with all the blood in her eyes, “What you are thinking of you? Hmm.. What? You want transfer? If you are not going with me to Bangalore, I am going shout standing in the middle of the hall that I love you and kissed me in your home acknowledging it”
Raja believed that she may even do that. He slowly tried to convince her, “Look, this will end once I am out of your eyes. I want you to carry on with your husband. What will people think about you if they comes to know we are in an affair? I’ll never let you earn such names, Okay” Navanee threw the papers at him and in a coarse voice, “My love will never vanish, Devil. My love for you will never vanish. You go anywhere. There will be only one Idiot in my heart till my death and that’s you. You just call the HO and ask them to book two tickets for us. In Bangalore I will talk the rest” she turned and walked away.
Raja for the first time prayed to the God that no such situation should come to anyone let be even his enemy. He loves a woman for the first time in his life and she is some one’s wife. His lovely heart is also in desperate love with him and he cannot accept her love, since he dare not bring any harm to her. With no other option left he took the receiver and dialed the HO.
They took off for Bangalore and landed there. A guide came to receive them and guided them to their suites. There were adjacent suit for them. They attended the meeting peacefully and returned back. Raja had escaped in the name shopping and sight seeing without informing to Navanee.
When he returned back in the night, lights in her room was switched off. He went inside his suite and took bath after booking for a coffee from the room service. When he came out there was a knock on the door. He opened and repented, there stood Navanee in a dazzling blue chiffon sari. Raja’s mouth dropped open as he saw her in her grandeur. She walked coolly inside and bolted the door at her back. Raja blurted, “The room service may come at any time” Navanee told coolly, “I told them not to disturb” before he could say something, she covered his mouth with her own.
Raja instinctively threw his arms around her waist, while Navanee wrapped her arms around his neck. They went in an airtight hug. Their kiss started passionately and the beasts inside them surfaced. Raja rammed her to the wall and chewed her red lips. It was as smooth as a rose petal. Navanee pushed the bath robe from his shoulders and caressed it lovingly, offering her married mouth to him. His robe hung at his waist as he tied it there. He cupped her ass cheeks in both hands and caressed it. Navanee moaned inside his mouth. Holding her ass cheeks in hand he pulled her groin to his bulging phallus. Navanee whimpered as her cunt mound met her lover’s hot pole. They rubbed their genitals for some time. When he left her lip to go she wiped her swollen lips with her outer palm and looked seductively at him, “You sweet Devil”.
Raja looked her with lust filled all over his face, “You told that you are married” Navanee walked two steps and came too closer to him and with her right hand she removed the loose end of the sari covering her boobs. The low neck blouse flashed the fair skin of her breast’s top and the deep cleavage between them, “Now tell, are you going to stop if I am married?” Raja chuckled and told, “NO” He drew a line from her fore head to neck and continued to her deep cleavage. Navanee enjoyed his moves with an upraised face with her eyes closed in ecstasy. He inserted his index finger along the cleavage inside the lining of her blouse. He slowly pulled her hooking his finger in the blouse. Navanee came along with lusty smile in her face and they smooched. He pushed her softly to the wall keeping his hands over her boobs and caressed them gently. Navanee moaned in delight. Raja hissed in her ear, “There is still time to stop. Think and tell” she placed her hands over his which was caressing her boobs and told, “Take me Raja. I am all yours. Make love to me” he rammed his lips over her lips and mauled her soft breasts. She cupped his ass cheeks and pulled him towards her cunt and they ground their genitals kissing feverishly. He unhooked her blouse and peeled it off her body. Navanee pulled the pleats of her sari from the waist and allowed it to fall down. Raja pulled the knot of her petty-coat and it bid a farewell from her body. She stood there with only the panty and brassier left over her body.
Raja’s head was going in round as he saw the divine femininity stood front of him half naked. Her slim legs were long, smooth and well-shaped. Her panty crouched over her mound and was inviting. Her belly was flat and decorated with the deep naval puffed all around. Her voluptuous breasts cradled in the cups of the bra and shinned with her perspiration. The “Thali” nuzzling between her breasts slithered meaninglessly and mocked at the situation. Due to their hustle, strands of her long hairs detached from her combed lot danced in front her face, doing magic and made the unmatched beauty even beautiful. The strands of her jasmine string which was dangling down her shoulders made her look like “Rati”
He pushed her gently over the bed and she turned her back to facilitate him to remove her bra. Raja unhooked the bra and turned her. He slowly removed the cups exposing the well shaped pears to his eyes, which was jeweled by two delicate nipples. He took one in his mouth and twitched the other. Navanee whimpered, “Raja, my husband never handled me so delicately. He always made love to me as he is raping me”
He bit and chewed her boobs as Navanee sizzled in ecstasy. Then he pulled her panties off and exposed her cunt, which was covered with jet black soft pubic hairs. He kissed and sucked her toes along with the toe rings. Then he licked his way to the cunt. Navanee was crying out as he cajoled her clitoris with is protruded tongue. She held his mane in a tuft and pushed his face deeper. His tongue opened the love bowl and entered the forbidden territory of a married woman. Navanee writhed in passion as her lover’s tongue did the magical dancing inside her. He flipped his tongue lapping the juices of his only and most beloved woman. After having sufficient drink from her love pot he stood up with a large tent in his bathrobe.
Navanee sat up and undid the knot of his bathrobe. His phallus came with a jump in front of her face. She kissed her way standing on foot to his neck rubbing her boobs over his body as her tongue flickered like a preying snake. She bit his chin and rubbed her swollen nipples over his hairy chest. He wheedled her teeth with his protruding tongue. Her hand moved between their bodies and took held his manhood in a round grip. The Lion groaned with the caresses of its beloved lover.
She knelt in front of him and kissed the reddish knob and ran her finger along the phallus measuring its entire 7 inch. She played with his testicles and took the red cobra’s head inside her mouth. Navanee many times heard about sucking cock from her husband but never did it for him. The first time since her birth, Navanee took a phallus inside her married mouth. She slowly allowed her lips to travel over his cock and her tongue caressed the bottom of the cock as she sucked it. Raja groaned and caressed her naked boobs as she sucked his cock. After a heartful suck, Navanee allowed his cock to slip from her mouth and moved back to lie on her back. She rolled her knees and opened her legs apart. The lotus between her thighs invited Raja, he moved between her legs. Navanee held his cock in her fist and stroked it with half opened eyes. She slowly guided him to the entrance and Raja pushed it. She hissed, “Give the babies my husband denied me, Raja” She planted her foot on the mattress and raised her hip to receive the invading love staff.
Navanee felt powerful as she cheated upon her chauvinist husband, she was so fulfilled on revenging over his ruthlessness. Raja’s knob stretched her cunt and moved in as Navanee shrieked in pleasure as her married cunt gave way for another man. When the entire 7 inch went in up to the hilt, Navanee pulled his head and pushed her boob in to his mouth. Raja started to fuck her in slow rhythmic movements as he sucked her boobs then he started to plough her married field furiously. Navanee writhed and shrieked in passion as his phallus ruled her divine beauty. He was tuning her body like a guitar and brought her as much orgasm as he could. He made it short and sweet first time. He pumped her, as her boobs sloshed all over and her body went rigid. He knows her and he pounded hard as she shrieked shamelessly.
Raja was nearing his own climax, he pumped like machine gun and the couple had their climax. The night was endless and the lovers explored each other as there is no to-morrow. Navanee never knew sex could be so invigorating. She never allowed him to sleep.
After they reached Chennai back, now and often Navanee sneaked inside his apartment for a mind blowing fuck. She turned to be the woman of his home. She cooked, washed and arranged the home for him. In office their fingers played beneath the sheets of paper while exchanging. They even stole some time in a deserted stationary room for a hot kisses. They were in love towards each other that they never could part. But the fate decided something else. And the thunder came down with the storm, Raja was asked to move to USA with immediate effect. Raja tried his best to convince the authorities that could not move from here but the MD himself requested Raja to take over the Liaisoning Unit there, since their business was predicted to crumble down with out a proper leadership over there and he is the only efficient person, who could turn things around.
When Raja told her, Navanee stayed speechless looking deep inside his eyes. Her nostrils flared, pouting lips quirked and drops of tears rolled down from the brim of her eyes as her innerness sobbed vehemently. Raja spoke in a low voice, “I have to Navanee, and I have to. I wanted you to join me there, but the head is not agreeing. I told them openly what we are. I am sure I am going to call you there. Wait until”
She bid him a tearful farewell. She could see tears in his eyes as he waved to her in the departure lounge of the airport. He had to go to Hong Kong and then after attending a meeting, he will fly to USA.
Two days after the departure. A lightening struck Navanee’s life. The aircraft took of from Hong Kong runway crashed down due to technical fault. Navanee crashed before it because Mr. Rajasimman’s name was on the passengers list. The news came like thunder bolt over her head. She was about to go insane. She slapped her face with both hands and shrieked out in the unbearable pain of her soul. She could not share it with anyone, she cried in her loneliness, because she was conceived with Raja’s baby.
A holocaust broke in her marital and maternal home. Guna shrieked in frenzy that it could not be possible that is his child. He told that they never copulated without precaution. The total family assembled in Guna’s home and Navanee was standing front of every one. Guna shouting on top his voice and his mother joined him. Navanee’s father asked, “Tell me my child. I know you. Please tell them. There may be miscalculation” Navanee’s mother wept and pleaded, “Tell them Navanee” Navanee turned and went inside her room, she came out with a packed suitcases and bags. She stood firmly in front of everyone and slowly spoke, “It is Raja’s child” the entire family stood dumbfounded.
Guna was the first to react. He came running towards her to slap her. She held his wrist in her firm grip and told, “You have no rights over me Mr. Gunasekaran. I am his widow, not your wife. I rather prefer to live as a widow of that gentleman than your wife. You live with your money. I will live with his memories. I am moving out from this house. I am neither going to my marital home. I will give birth to his child and I will see him in his child. I am filing the divorce. At least this time you behave like a male and sign it. Good bye” everyone stood frozen to the ground as she walked off.
Three months passed after the divorce. Navanee took to a Hostel and continued to work. She never wore her “Bindi”. She never dressed attractively. She kept talking to the baby inside caressing her slightly swollen belly. She always told the baby what an invincible warrior its father was. She stopped talking with others.
She went for her regular check up. As usual after a check, she was returning to her hostel in a dark, deserted road in the night, suddenly from the sides of the road flied the sky crackers and the sky illuminated like a magic. Illuminated balloons flown over and blasted to rain rose petals over her head. And illuminated feathers came down from the sky as a large gas balloon burst. From the side of the road a team of professional orchestra dressed in suits came out playing their violins, flutes and saxophones. The neighborhood woke up and everyone peeped from their windows. From the cross road came her hostel mates and colleagues with a broad grin over their faces, then arrived her father, mother and sisters with tears in their eyes. Navanee was confused for what this celebration is? Everyone showed her the direction and she saw there. There, the spot light from a lighting van flowed. She wanted to cry. Nothing came out her throat. There stood the invincible Rajasimman smiling at her with his hands crossed across his chest and his hairs danced in the cool breeze of the night.
She broke in to tears. Her legs felt week. Rajasimman walked unto her and took her hands in his hands and pulled a ring out of his pocket and asked, “Will you marry me?” Navanee burst in to tears and dug her face in to his chest. Everyone applauded around and the orchestra went in a high pitched harmony. He cajoled her head and told, “I can never die leaving you alone Navanee. I met with an accident in Hong Kong and was hospitalized with broken limbs. I got an injury in the spinal cord and was in coma. I never traveled in that aircraft” Navanee kissed his forehead and lay back on his chest and told, “I have a story to tell my grand children”
