I mean, she knows about it all? Would she she have thought about me? What impression would she have of me now?
Megha: she understands everything Ashu. She knew in what state I was then. I desperately wanted to be a mother.
Me: what else have to told me Megha?
Megha: I told her about your married life and that you too are passing through difficult times. Its ok Ashu, in fact, she really likes you and appreciated what you did for me and till date you are here with me, helping me and my family.
This child is not your responsibility but still, your are there for me. I was a one night stand for both of us but we found closing bonding in it. So just relax and take it easy.
It took me some time to gather my thoughts and calm myself down. Then all her gestures started playing back in my mind and I thought to myself that she knew about it all throughout and her actions might be deliberate and might be interested in me. I mean, who knows. I was excited with all these thoughts but little reluctant to play on the front foot.
Days passed by and her involvement with me become was getting more interesting. Now we were meeting at Megha’s place like almost daily and spending 2-3 hours at her place. She would be there whenever I am there. But I still used to call her ma’am.
One day we three were sitting in Megha’s room discussing our professional lives.
Me: I would be going to Delhi coming Sunday, will have to stay there until Tuesday.
Aditi: Oh, I am also traveling to Delhi during that time but may be only for a day.
Megha: you both are going then who would look after me?
Me: you are a big girl now, you can take care of yourself.
Megha: (with an evil smile) Hey, why don’t you guys plan it together, I mean you will save money.
Me: (looked at Aditi and Megha with surprise) I am not paying from my pocket, the client is gonna bear the entire expenses.
Aditi: same here, its a professional trip. All expenses to be borne by the client.
Megha: even better, you guys share your trip expenses and charge the client. Sahi idea hai na.
Me: what share? Flight mein janaa hai, hotel mein rehna hai kharcha to utna hi rehega. Do jayenge to double kharcha.
Megha: share the hotel room na. Book a good 5-star room and you both can share the room, simple.
Me: (trying to play cool but little nervous from inside) I don’t have any problem if maam is ok with is an idea.
Megha: she won’t have any problem, I know her (looks at Aditi and smiles and Aditi smiles back)
Aditi: yea, I am ok with it.
Me: (after remaining silent for a some time) ok, I too won’t have any problem if she is ok with it but I am staying there for two nights.
Megha: aditi will also stay back and come back with you only. I’ll manage here don’t worry.
I could just nod. I did not know if I should get excited or nervous. I came from her house but my mind had all sorts of questions and dilemmas. I knew where it is all heading now. It was just that it happened too quickly. I had already cheated my once but was still not prepared for another incident but I definitely was aroused and mere thinking about Aditi would give me an instant hard on. I was eagerly waiting for my trip to Delhi now.
