“What are you doing down here, Nandini?” He asked his daughter surprisingly.
Rajnandini whispered as she started to pull her father back up the stairs.
“Wait.” Nandan also said in a much more lower voice, “I think your mother is in the guest room.”
“I know.” She replied. “But you shouldn’t go there.”
“But why!” Nandan exclaimed.
“Trust me, you shouldn’t!” Rajnandini said with a tone and look in her eyes that resonated with her father and he followed her back upstairs to his bedroom.
When they got to the bedroom, Nandan put the pistol back in it’s hiding place under his bed and turned around to face his daughter. “Why don’t you want me to go in the bedroom where your mother is? What could she possibly be doing in there? Is she ok? Is she with someone…. I mean is Nilay still there?” He asked his daughter in rapid succession as his mind rushed to make sense of everything.
“Bapi, just calm down and sit down and I will tell you what I know.” Rajnandini softly pleaded his father.
He sat on the edge of his bed and his daughter sat down beside him. She grabbed his hand and looked at him with loving and started to tell him what was going on behind that door.
Nandan sat and listened as his daughter told him what she witnessed a few days ago.
Few days ago, when Nandan was outside for his official job, Rajnandini came back home early as her shooting was cancelled due to Kadershab’s sudden illness. She then noticed Nilay uncle’s car in front of their house as she thought that he might be in urgent need for his film.
As she entered the house, she heard their voices and guessed that they were discussing about the film-shooting which she often did with other directors also. So she started to move towards the guest bedroom to join with them. But as she got near the room, she heard their conversation were more personal. She stopped before the bedroom door as she listened and watched…..
“Boudi, I can’t stop thinking about that memorable night in Siliguri. After that whenever I’m with Koel, I just keep thinking you instead of her…. I love you so much Boudi.” Nilay told as he went on to explain how he was obsessed with the memory of that night. Even he had been unable to have satisfied sex with his wife Koel afterwards.
Indrani then asked him, “Oh you naughty….. this mean you enjoy sex with me better than Koel, sweetie?”
“Boudi, that’s what makes me so screwed up. You know I enjoy sex with you more…. actually, I loved every moment of it.” Nilay clarified.
“But Koel is your wife and she more beautiful and young than me. You shouldn’t cheat her….”, Indrani tried to persuade him.
“Maybe…..but I feel an uncontrollable crush on you whenever I see you Boudi. And you know it’s natural in Film-industry…..so I didn’t feel wrong in it.” Nilay retorted. “It felt perfect.”
“Yes, I also feel it perfect. But it can’t ever happen again…. you know I love your wife as my own sister and I can’t cheat on her.” Indrani said to Nilay as she leaned in and kissed him gently on the forehead and then hugged him tightly.
