This story is a work of fiction developed solely by me on the eve of my teacher's birthday.
This is a work of fantasy woven around some actual incidents from 2007. At the time of the incident, I was 18 years and six months old, while my teacher was about 28 years old. I hope you enjoy reading this story, and I look forward to your feedback.
************************
Recap: In the previous chapters, I talked about the parting hug with my tuition teacher, with whom I was infatuated. Â While the hug lasted for barely 30 seconds, the horses of my imagination went wild. In my mind, I had a rather raucous sex with him, and as I was leaving, I realised that I had cum in my pants. This happened in April 2007.
**********************************************************************************************************
A month had passed since "the hug". I had moved to the town of Kota in the North-Western part of India for my higher studies. In the last week of May, the results of my Board exams were out. My results were not as good as expected, so I was pretty depressed and moody.
My friends and relatives were calling me to congratulate me. In hindsight, my results were still quite good, even though I could have been happier with it. Anyways, the day went by; I attended my classes and returned in the afternoon. I was still very broody when my phone rang again. It was an unknown number, and even though I did not wish to take the call, I answered it half-heartedly.
And guess what! It was him. My teacher. My lust. My infatuation. And also my embarrassment. This was the first time I was talking to him since "the hug", and while I wasn't sure, I had a feeling that he felt the physiological reactions I showed during and immediately after hugging him. When I heard his voice, it brought back some of the memories- our playful conversations, how he had kissed my hand, my unquenched lust that erupted every time I saw the chest hairs peeking out of his unbuttoned shirt, his eyes lightening up on seeing me, his pride for his best student, his expectations.
This last thought was like a splash of cold water which extinguished the slowly erupting flame of desire. And I was back to the state of despondence that was plaguing me throughout the day. Perhaps he sensed something in my voice because although I was talking to him normally, I wasn't my usual cheery self. Maybe he also understood what I was going through because he offered much encouragement. He told me that I still was the best student he had ever taught, and even though my results were not as high as everyone was expecting, I still scored excellent marks in the most critical subjects. I was still very nonchalant in my responses. However, towards the end of the conversation, he said something that genuinely uplifted my mood.
He- Â You know, we stress too much about these results, but you only use them to get admission to the next school. Since you have already taken advance admission, you don't need to feel bad about these results.
I- Â I know, sir.
He- Â Anyways, how are your classes going now? Are you enjoying them?
I- Â Yes, sir. They are nice and exciting. They take most of my time, so I won't have much time to think about my results.
He- Â Yeah. Good. So what is your class schedule like?
I- Â I have 4 hours of classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 2 hours on the other three days, and there were no classes on Sundays. My classes take place during the day, at least until June, after which they will happen in the evening.
He- Â Hmm. Okay. I am coming to Kota in the second week of June to inquire about my nephew's admission process in some of the institutes. Let's meet then. I would also like your views on the general hostel experience in the city and how to make life here a bit easier.
I- Â Oh! That's nice. If you are here over a weekend, I will have more time.
He- Â Yeah, I will reach there in the evening, around 19.30 on Friday, June 15th. Why don't you meet me at my hotel and we can have dinner together? You can tell me all about your first two months in the city.
I couldn't resist but smile as I heard this, and I am sure it was audible in my voice. I agreed to his proposition, and we ended the call. This truly changed my mood. It was still more than a fortnight before his arrival, but I found myself excited and fantasising about our meet-up. At this point, I did not know what or if anything would happen between us. I was looking forward to a good time, an escape from the monotony of classes and homework, and even though I didn't expect them to materialise, many fantasies erupted in my imagination. I was also a little worried that if I allowed myself the flight of fancies, I might betray them through my gaze, behaviour and body. It was still 2007, homosexuality was taboo, and he was ten years older than me. If I give in to these unholy, lustful feelings, several things can go wrong. However, these apprehensions did not mar the excitement of meeting him again.
Time flew by. It was 14 June. I received a text from him saying that he was boarding the train. The journey from my hometown to Kota by train took about 26 hours, with a five-hour layover in New Delhi.
The next day around 19.00, he called me up. It struck me odd that he was calling me even before he had reached. I also sensed a fleeting excitement in his voice, but I didn't want to place too much importance on this- what if I was wrong?
He- Â Hey, I am crossing Sri Gangapur City and will reach Kota in about 30 minutes.
I- Â Nice. How was your journey?
He- Â Yeah, it is sweltering hot, but otherwise, it was uneventful. So, what are your plans for the evening? You wanna meet for dinner?
I- Â Yeah, sure. I have completed my homework. Which hotel are you staying at? I can meet you there.
He- Â Yeah. I am staying near the Aerodrome Circle. Do you know any good places for dinner there?
I- Â Yeah, there is Royal Firdaus near the circle. We can have dinner there.
He- Â Okay. So, why don't you meet me there at 20.15? I will go to my room, shower and then meet you there.
I- Â Okay.
He- Â Uhm... Listen. It will be pretty late by the time we finish dinner. So, why don't you bring an extra pair of clothes and your books for tomorrow so you can go to your classes directly from here? It would be best if you didn't travel across the city this late at night.
I- Â Eh? Yeah, I guess I can do that. See you in a bit then.
And we hung up. I was surprised at this. When he asked me to meet at the restaurant, I thought he just wanted to have dinner with me. But this certainly meant that he had some other plans. Or did it? Was he just being a considerate adult by asking me to stay with him? I didn't know what to think and it was quite disconcerting.
Anyways, I packed my bag, took an autorickshaw (colloquially known as auto in India) and went to meet him. He was waiting for me at the entrance of the restaurant when I arrived. He looked dashing as ever- in a pale brown t-shirt and dirty-blue jeans, light stubble on his face, his hair slightly disheveled, and as he saw me, his face broke into a radiant (and sensuous?) smile. He did look a little tired though which was expected after having travelled for more than a day.
As I got down from the auto, he walked towards me and extended a hand to greet me. I inwardly noted that he did not hug me. I wondered if I should be thankful about it or sad about it. He was my teacher after all, no matter how much I wanted him to be my paramour. Anyways, I shook his hand and we went into the restaurant. Being a Friday night, it was relatively crowded and while we did talk a little, it was mostly about my studies. He also told me about his new ventures- he had decided to let go of the idea of running a tuition center and had moved into a business instead. By the time we finished the dinner, it was around 21.30. The weather had cooled by then and we stepped out of the restaurant into a cool and gentle summer breeze.
He- Â What do you want to do next?
I- Â I don't think there is much to do here in the city this late in the night. We will have to head to your room.
