She had not imagined I will be waiting looking out for her so early in the morning. That’s when I saw her with the saree falling off her shoulder carelessly. She was preparing to go for a bath. In the villages they usually don’t have bathrooms inside the house. It is usually located in the backyard or any other part of compound. These people had it in their backyard. It had three walls with a large bush in front instead of door and there was no roof. From my room upstairs I could see everything clearly inside the bathroom. I was peeping from my window when she looked up towards my room to see if I was there watching by any chance. I quickly hid myself. Then after a few minutes I peeped again. She seemed convinced that I may be still sleeping. Holy cow! It was the most memorable sight for me to see her slowly taking off the saree and then all the other clothes one by one. I saw her fully naked only for half a minute. After that she tied her petticoat above the boobs. I suppose that’s the traditional way for women to have bath in villages. She was pouring water all over her body and enjoying the fresh feeling. When she was applying soap she had to lift the petticoat for the insides.
Those were the few other quick glimpses I got of her private areas. It was still little dark so I couldn’t see it all in much detail. But even that was hot enough to kindle the fire of desire in my body. I felt every nerve in me burning like coal from the mines. Lakshmi had hardly finished her bath when the baby started to weep again. She looked angry that she can’t even have a proper bath because of the baby all the time weeping. I saw her leaving everything as it was and running to her room in only the petticoat. In her room I heard her shouting and giving gaalis to the kid for being such a nuisance. To shut up the baby’s weeping I think she had to feed the baby again. I took opportunity of this moment. I quickly ran downstairs straight away barging into her room to ask if the baby was okay and if I could help in any way. Lakshmi was shocked to see me suddenly and I was shocked to see that Lakshmi had dropped down the petticoat and was sitting full naked since she didn’t expect me. We both were so shocked with the unexpected shocks.
My throat ran dry. I was speechless. Since I had asked if there was any way I could help, she laughed shyly and said “What can you do? Can you feed my baby when I’m busy with something else?” I just smiled but didn’t move away from there. Instead I went closer to her and sat down on the floor. She was on her bed with legs down. I touched her legs gently and said “Now you have double responsibility. I am also thirsty for that milk. So now you have to breastfeed the baby as well as me”. She laughed again shyly. Then she held me by the arm and said “Not now. Now you please go”. I was very sad and left the room in frustration.
She helped me through. In a way we both were helping each other. She was much more of a friend. We used to talk after my job. Then soon, our relationship grew to a weekend outing. My first choices were some lovely places. She loved it.
In one of the outing, she told me about her husband. That bastard was having an affair with her friend. And finally went with her. She wept on my shoulders telling me he said many times he had loved her. But he didn’t mean it. I understood her pain of someone letting her down.
I didn’t want to ruin the day for her. So I cracked a few jokes getting her to smile. She finally started to smile. We were having fun at this time. I took hold of her hand held it, and told her that she has a great life out there. I wanted her to cheer up. So, I planned a great surprise for her
I bought some flowers and went to her house. I opened the door and searched for her but couldn’t find her.
