Those were the days when I completed my MBA and got a job as a Management trainee in a MNC company in the marketing department. My immediate boss told me that I had to do a do a six months stint directly marketing the soaps and detergent powder.
I was to travel with a distribution van and sell the company’s products to the company’s retailers and also at the same time elicit from them information about the customer’s reaction to our products.
The job was exciting because I used to be treated royally by the company’s retailers and pampered and traveling in the Indian countryside was like being in paradise.
Luckily for me my ancestral village was in the same region in which I was posted. I moved to my village and used to attend my job from there. I lived in my grandma’s house and they used to pamper me a lot being a male child. My grand father died a long time ago and my grandma used to live with one of her unmarried daughter that is my mother’s sister and my aunt. They had vast ancestral properties and lived comfortably.
The village had lot of young girls and most of them were beautiful. In the evenings I used to sit out side and watch the girls pass by and make eyes at me. This used to be very exciting. Being a village and most of the families related to us in some way of the other, the girls used to come to my grandma’s house on some pretext or the other and pick up conversation with me. I was an object of their fascination because I was educated, young, and handsome and used to be of a jovial nature.
Gradually I became close to a girl. Her name was Sangita. Her pet name was Sangi and I too got used to calling her Sangi. Sangi’s house was opposite to my grandma’s house and most of the time she used to be in my grandma’s house chit chatting with my aunt. She was nineteen years old and was in second year of graduation.
Sangi was a pleasant looking and good-natured girl, soft and warm in nature and always joking. She was five feet five inches tall and had a good body structure with smooth glowing skin and long hair and teeth like pearls.
Sundays we used to sit for game of cards, me, my aunt and other girls. Sangi was good card player and used to win more points.
On the particular day she was winning continuously and I was getting irritated because she was taunting me “ you are a educated city guy more intelligent than me yet you lose with me in cards”. I decided that in the next game I should win and after the cards were divided I slyly glanced by bending side ways she noticed this and turned her cards away from my sight upon this I held her wrist and forcibly tried to see the cards in the scuffle though I did not succeed to see the cards my hands brushed her body and her breasts. Her face flushed and I was embarrassed. After this we settled down and started playing, I was casting sly sidelong glances unnoticed by others at her, she realized this and her this only made her face flush more.
After some time we broke up. I could not sleep that night I was thinking about Sangi, the touch and feel of her body and her breasts was like heaven and I decided, come what may I shall have her.
Now she started spending more time with me talking all kinds of subjects after I came home in the evenings from my work with me longing to pull her towards me and hug her, all the time. On every little pretext I used to touch her and she would smile and blush like a like a beautiful flower. But I could never take courage to hug her.
Then on one day as providence would have been my grandma went to visit her relatives leaving my aunt alone in the house. My aunt asked Sangi to sleep in our house to give her company, as I would be coming home late in the night after a long sales trip. I was aching to come home soon.
When I reached home it was already past midnight and my aunt asked me to take bath and have supper. I noticed two cots with beds side by side one for my aunt and one for Sangi and one a little far away and a little inside for me, in the verandah. I finished my supper very soon and came to sleep I told my aunt that I was feeling sultry and would like sleep on the cot closer to the one near Sangi because I would get more air there. My aunt reluctantly agreed went to sleep on the cot, which was meant for me.
I lay down watching Sangi, she was looking beautiful in her sari, she rarely wears saris and god knows why she was wearing one today. She was not sleeping and all the while I came and finished supper she feigned sleep lest her sleeping place should be changed by my aunt.
