I went to the kitchen on the pretext of drinking water and sneaked up behind Uma and hugged her. She got startled and looked behind and relaxed after seeing me. She said “thank god it is you Krishna, I thought it was papa again”.
I was all the more intrigued listening dad’s name, after all why would he hug her like this. In a very serious tone I asked “are you saying dad hugged you like this today”?
She said “yes more than a dozen times”. Before I could continue she said “Krishna drink your water and leave quickly, I don’t want him to catch us”. I went to my bedroom to freshen up.
Then dinner was served. Uma was wearing a simple light pink nighty today. I saw dad made Uma sit at the table next to him. Uma sat uncomfortably and we all ate our food.
During the dinner I observed Uma readjust her seating a few times. I also saw, at that exact time when Uma moved, dad’s hand was not on the table. I did not know what to conclude of this.
We finished dinner, then dad said “tomorrow we have to be at the function by 9am. So we will be up by 7am and leave by 8am to reach the venue on time”. Everyone retired to their rooms.
Uma went to my parent’s room to keep the drinking water for the night. Then she called me to the kitchen. I went thinking it was for our first quickie of the night.
She said “let’s not do anything here Krishna. It is not safe. Give me half hour to clean-up and then depending on the situation I will call you and we will go upstairs to my room”.
I said fine and went back to my room. About an hour later Uma called me and I went with her to her room. I saw her nighty was crumpled and her hair dishevelled.
I was dreading that it better not be what I think it is, but how could dad be up to all this at this age, or so I thought. When we got inside her room, I asked “what took you so long Uma”?
Uma lay on her bed and said “Papa had come again”. Uma was unusually quiet, she did not remove her clothes or even show her usual excitement like when we are about to have sex.
I however removed all my clothes and got in the bed with her. To please her and improve her mood I kissed her lips, it was a one way kiss this time. I was getting all the more impatient and irritated by this.
I finally blurted out “why are you so cold today Uma? Did I screw up anything”? She said “no Krishna, it is not your fault at all, I am only thinking about everything that happened today between papa and me”.
Running out of patience, I asked “Uma please stop talking in riddles and tell me what happened”? She turned towards me and rested her head against my chest.
In Uma’s words from here onwards:
Krishna after you left I went back to working in the kitchen doing my usual chores. Then papa came and stood next to me. I asked “is there something you need papa”?
He said “yes Uma, but I do not know how to tell it to you”. I said “please papa, if you have given me the privilege to call you papa then you can also feel free to tell me anything without hesitating”.
He said “that’s very kind of you Uma, but what I want to say can be very embarrassing to you”. I said “papa you please tell me everything freely, I will not feel embarrassed”.
