Repression and Submission. Pt 1
Rekha seemed just like your typical Non-Resident Indian, who had been born and brought up in the United States. She had parents who were strict enough to scare off any potential boyfriends. Not that it would have mattered. Rekha spent most of her time being a model student, behaviour which would continue till college where she excelled and flourished. Rekha had been taught that girls had to be "pure" and "chaste" and had never even masturbated because of the guilt she associated with it when she'd attempted to out of curiosity.
The years went by and still she hadn't even kissed anyone, let alone dated. It wasn't for a lack of attractiveness either. She didn't know it but Rekha had turned into a beautiful woman by the time she started University. She was around 5'7 with a toned, lithe body. Her hair looked like it could've been out of a shampoo commercial. Long enough to reach her waist when it was left untied, lush and glossy. She had perky B cup breasts and a toned ass which definitely caught a lot of eyes as she walked past. Speaking of eyes, hers were light brown and when she stared at someone intensely, her intelligence seemed to shine through them. She worked out regularly and enjoyed swimming which contributed to her tight body.
In her final year of college, she met someone who would change her life forever. A new member of the debate team, Jake was someone she constantly butted heads with. Their debates would rage on for hours while the onlookers watched on spellbound if a little scared. They both knew however that they were the best Parliamentary debaters around and could destroy any opposition.
Jake was that rare breed who managed to balance academic achievement, extra-curriculars and popularity. Everyone seemed to know him and he was easy going and fun to be around. He was also intelligent, managing to be more or less around the top of the class rankings. Just about 6'0, curly brown hair, muscular yet not overly so and with light eyes, he was fairly popular with the ladies as well.
There was a national level debate competition which was super prestigious and it was Jake who had the idea of asking Rekha to be his teammate. She was surprised when he asked but she was glad that she didn't have to ask. They teamed up and ended up spending a lot of days in the library together. They worked together grudgingly at first, taking every opportunity to tear the other one down. They'd pass snide remarks to try and elicit reactions. Privately neither of them thought that the partnership would work.
One day Jake was late to the library and when he got there, he saw a sobbing Rekha. She was sitting in her usual corner, books in front of her but it was evident with just a glance that she was crying softly to herself. Till he saw her, he'd been bracing himself for retorts about his tardiness and had been preparing his own rejoinders yet when he saw her he immediately felt the need to go comfort her.
He sat beside her as she turned away from him, sniffing and wiping her eyes.
"Hey, what's the matter Rekha? Anything I can help with?" He asked her, tentatively placing a hard around her shoulder.
"No...there's nothing. Just some family trouble." She replied as she tried to look away. She didn't move his arm away though.
"Okay, we don't have to prepare today. Just take care of yourself. I'm here if you need anything."
"No that's okay. We have less than two weeks. Let's just get this over with." Rekha said, opening her books and shaking her head resolutely.
"Okay if that's what you want." Jake replied, moving his arm away and opening his laptop.
Midway through their prep though, Rekha started sobbing again and this time she spoke about what was bothering her. Her father had called her and told her that expected her to win the competition and he'd be disappointed if she didn't. He also let slip that if she didn't have a job right after University, he'd start looking for men for her to marry.
The pressure was too much for Rekha and once she cut the call, she'd started to sob. She opened up and told Jake about how she hadn't even dated anyone till that point because of the pressure on her to excel and how her parents had repressed her. Jake listened and once again placed his arm around her. This time she turned and sobbed into his shoulder.
Once she was done, she was just about ready to apologize for being emotional before Jake started opening up about his own life. There wasn't the same pressure on him to excel academically because he was the first person from his family to be college educated. He put the pressure on himself though because he had an absent father and wanted to support his mother after University. He spoke about his own challenges and how he related to hers and Rekha stopped sniffling to listen.
After that day, the dam had been broken. They'd grown closer to each other. The banter was still there but now it was more friendly. It made for a much better environment and they became friends. Occasionally someone would come to flirt with Jake and Rekha would roll her eyes and pretend to be sick behind them. However she realized that there was a hint of jealousy when Jake would reciprocate. On a similar note, a library regular once interrupted their prep to ask Rekha out to drinks. She turned bright red and began to stammer before hastily rejecting him and apologizing. Jake laughed at the whole display yet he too felt a little relieved that Rekha rejected the man.
They opened up more too, Rekha finally could be open about all the pressure she had from her parents. She spoke about how all her life she'd tried to please her parents and they still rarely acknowledged her achievements. Jake opened up about some of his financial challenges occasionally. They even started calling each other nicknames. Rekhs for Rekha and Jakey for Jake.
They fell for each other slowly yet surely as the debate approached. They travelled to Manhattan for the competition and stayed in a really nice hotel. The competition itself was difficult but Jake and Rekha did their best and managed to win, narrowly edging out the runners up.
They were all smiles while collecting the award yet both couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness that there would no longer be any late night library sessions. Rekha hugged Jake unprompted when they won and they went out to celebrate that night.
The prize money was amazing for a debate and they went to a very nice restaurant for dinner. Jake reached first as he was out seeing the sights as Rekha spoke to her family and got ready.
