Again, there was a heavy downpour in the afternoon in the city due to low pressure(depression) that occurred in the Bay of Bengal. It was raining heavily. It had rained most of last night and there was no sign of respite yet. A grey and dark sky seemed to be descending on the city unable to bear the weight of heavy saturated clouds. Pawan Kumar cursed the weather, but he had no alternative as he had already booked the train ticket for Visakhapatnam, and he had to board the train by 3.00 PM, afternoon from Howrah.
One week before, the owner of Apple orchard made a call to him, requesting him to reach Chennai immediately for transferring all legal documents to Pawan Kumar for his ownership of Apple orchard which required Pawan Kumar's necessary signatures in all legal documents. Further, there was a call from Chennai, Rupa happily informed him that Kakoli had been blessed with a son. Pawan Kumar was very happy to hear the news as this new born son was his flesh and blood, it was a gift from him to Kakoli, Rupa's eldest daughter. Immediately, he apprised this good news to Manasi.
Then Manasi lamented over her daughter-in-law, Aprajita as she was also in advance stage of pregnancy. Pawan Kumar assured her that from Chennai, he would visit Bangalore to see the wellbeing of her son, Tapan, and daughter-in-law, Aprajita. But he had a different plan, instead of going to Chennai directly from Kolkata, he booked the ticket up to Visakhapatnam, which was en route to Chennai. He wanted to drop in, to visit Moushumi (Daughter of Rakhi/Sister-in-law of Kakoli). He had already made a call to Moushumi for his arrival at Visakhapatnam. Now, he had a long journey, first to Visakhapatnam, Chennai, and then Bangalore, afterward, he would return to Kolkata.
The taxi stopped outside of the Howrah Platform. Pawan Kumar had to wade through running rainwater with his suitcase to reach the platform. The rain gushed down the back of his neck, inside his collar. He looked around, he was looking for a porter and found him, who asked Pawan Kumar to let him carry the suitcase. It was a heavy crowd on the platform due to rain. He headed towards the destined platform where the train bound for Chennai was standing. He pushed his way through the jostling crowd.
He reached near the coach, paid the money while calling out "Thank you, thank you!" to the porter.
He climbed up the steps of the coach, each time putting the suitcase on the step ahead and then following himself, supported on the handle of the suitcase. The coach that he entered was brightly illuminated by the great amount of light from inside.
He booked in 1st AC, which was the first-class coach of the train. The corridor, covered by a red carpet led him to his compartment. The compartment was in sets of four-bed. The coach was very clean. The toilets also were clean and odorless. He was given a blanket, pillow, and two clean sheets and a towel by the Attendant. He settled himself on the bed. A flickering of daylight from outside was coming through the window, many a windowpane - all were shut right up to the top - a hissing arc lamp hung at about eye level, and the many raindrops on the glass were white, often single ones were blocking the view of outside. A young couple entered, most probably newly married, and occupied their seats opposite him.
The train was flagged off on time, as the train went in motion slowly and left the Howrah railway station, his excitement began to rise to meet Moushumi next morning. As the train gathered speed, Pawan Kumar pushed aside the screen of the window and tried to see the view of outside. The train was now out of the city and in open country. The rain was beating, and he shut his eyes. It was raining noisily on the iron roof of the train, but out in the open country, the rain fell in such a way that it sounded like the uninterrupted blowing of the wind.
His thoughts carried him to the slum area of Savita. He had sanctioned a cash loan of Rs.20,000/-, and a new rickshaw to Shyamlaal, husband of Savita. Both of them were very happy and obliged to him forever. Now Shyamlal could know the benefits of Pawan Kumar's visit to his hut which was not an only material benefit to him but also to satisfy his sexual urge by watching his wife, Savita being fucked by Pawan Kumar. After sanction of his loans, one-day Shyamlaal came to his cabin.
Shyamlaal said, "Sahib, why don't you come this weekend, and stay with us two nights? Savita would prepare a special dish for you."
"Certainly, I would visit, Shyamlaal," replied Pawan Kumar.
While he was remembering all these things, the train rocked him into a magical sleep, slumber overtook him, and he quickly fell into sleep.
Suddenly, the train came to a screeching halt, when it paused on sidings to wait for freight trains to pass, Pawan Kumar woke up as the rhythmic movement of the train stopped, then he observed the newly married couple were in a tight embrace and kissing each other. Then there was a knock, and they disengaged themselves. The uniformed catering boy entered with snacks and hot coffee in a tray. He sipped his hot coffee and tried to view the outside through the window, but nothing clear was visible as evening was approaching. The sound of the beating of raindrops on the roof of the train could be heard. The couple stared at him, but it seemed they were not interested in any conversation with him as they were merged in themselves without any interruption. Pawan Kumar also changed his glance towards the window and let them know that he did not wish to disturb them.
He tried to enjoy the rain, much like a romantic man after seeing the embrace and kissing of the young couple in front of him, for a short while with a warm cup of tea at hand. But his romanticism filled his mind of the last events occurred in the slum.
At the weekend, Pawan Kumar reached the hut of Savita. He fucked her whole night in front of her husband, who masturbated two times by watching them. The next morning, Shyamlaal went outside for some works. Seeing the opportunity, Savita visited the other side of slum and returned with Basanti, her daughter-in-law. Now, Basanti was in new saree, blouse, and new petticoat which she purchased by the money provided by Pawan Kumar. She was also clean. Without waiting further, Pawan Kumar stripped her naked and started fucking her in front of Savita.
Then Pawan Kumar said to two women, "I want to fuck a virgin girl of 18 years. I want to spend any money on her. Cannot you find such a girl?"
On hearing this, both Aunty and daughter-in-law exchanged meaningful glances. Basanti, the daughter-in-law whispered something in the ears of her aunt-in-law, Savita.
"No, no, Basanti, please don't drag me into this affair. After all, she is my niece. You do whatever you wish...I have no objection, but I would advise you to seek her consent," said Savita to her daughter-in-law.
"OK, I am coming within half an hour," said Basanti, and left the hut of Savita.
Pawan Kumar could not understand anything that happened between themselves.
"What is going between both of you, tell me, Savita," asked Pawan Kumar.
