Cutting short, the next day I woke up and went to the function. She looked beautiful in the saree. She introduced me as her neighbor to her husband. I played with her daughter for sometime and then came back home. After I came, I was imagining her. She really looked cute in that yellow color saree. I glanced at her waist a couple of times in the function and she noticed it but since she was busy, she didn’t mind.
Few days passed and it was an usual day, I woke up in the afternoon, and searched for mom, she had gone out somewhere so I had my chores done, sat infront of TV and door bell rang. I opened the door and it was her again. Simran came home. I was awestruck looking at her. She asked if she can come inside. I welcomed her and offered her cold water. She drank. She asked where my mom was and I told her she went out and I don’t know where she went as she was not there by the time I woke up.
Then she explained the reason she came. She said she wanted to go shopping with my mom to buy sarees for her cousin’s wedding. I called my mom and asked her when she is gonna come because Simran was waiting to go shopping with her. My mom told she is gonna come in another 15 mins so told her to wait. I told Simran to wait so meanwhile we were having a conversation.
She asked me about my studies and job. I told her and I asked her about hers. She studied degree and then her parents got her married when she was 26. She was not allowed to work after her education because in most marvadi families, girls are not allowed to work, she told. I was shy looking her into her eyes and talk. She noticed it and asked me why. I told her that I’m shy wtih strangers first. But once I’m used to daily talking, I would be comfortable, I told her. She kept smiling at this. I asked her about her husband. She told he has gold business so he is mostly busy during day time, she told.
A while later my mom came and they had a chit chat and left shopping.
A month passed by, and we became more comfortable to talk about anything.
We used to text each other on whatsapp. We used to send those naughty jokes and laugh at them. She once called me and asked me to come to her home as her internet was not working and wifi doesn’t get connected. So I went and since I have few knowledge on computers, I fixed the issue. She told me to sit and brought me biscuits to eat. Since we became more comfortable, she asked me if I had any girlfriends. I straight away told her that I used to have the love of my life once but she broke up with me and left. Ever since then I’m just being physical with girls, I told.
She put a “Whatever!” expression on her face. I didn’t mind that. And then I asked her about her boyfriends in college and stuff. She told she had a boyfriend in college but it didn’t work out that well so they broke up.
Immediately I asked if she had anything physical with him.
Simran: “It’s better we don’t discuss more detailed into it.”
Me: “I was just asking casually. Come on! We are grown up adults, it’s okay to discuss”
Simran: “I’m married and this talk is something which can be done with boyfriends or husband. Not with my neighbor”
Me: “Why don’t you consider me as your boyfriend, then?”
Simran: “You? Haha. I’m having a husband. Sorry. It’s late now, go home.
