The 'American dream' era was a happy time to be living in the land of opportunity: United States. Majority of the public spent less time complaining, and more time enjoying their lives. Drunk by the victory of cold war and the massive inflow of wealth, many didn't care about the outside world, for they were practically living in a dream land.
Among the few who were interested in the outside world, Kelly had a special interest on how some parts of the world were still clinging to primitive, almost stone-age, cultures. As a person who grew up in a society that was regarded as the pinnacle of culture and technology, she struggled to understand how some tribes in remote parts of the world lived their lives with little or no influence from modern civilization.
This keen interest led Kelly into studying anthropology and by the year of 1981 she was teaching anthropology in a university. By this time, only few pockets of the world remained unexplored. Considering any more expeditions to be a waste of money, nobody was interested or curious enough to fund anthropological expeditions into these remote areas.
This resulted in limiting Kelly's fascinations and dreams only to books and journals of previous great explorers. It was one of her life dreams to witness the things she had devoted her life to study about, with her own eyes, but being a woman the age of thirty, she was too young and vulnerable to go on such an expedition only by herself; she was well aware of the fact that women become more vulnerable, as a place become too remote for modern culture to reach. She had waited many years for the university to grant some funds for a large expedition that would facilitate a whole group, but was starting to realize that by the time they give the approval, she would be married and settled with children.
Kelly knew, once she marries her fiancΓ©, Jonathan, he would never let her go on such a journey. She had been postponing their marriage just because of this reason, and had been trying to take part in an expedition before that. But finally, he had given her an ultimatum: either they get married the next year or he would find another girl who would.
Jonathan was the man Kelly had given her virginity when she was twenty, and had been faithful to him since then. She loved him too much to lose him for a chance to be on an expedition. Most of her friends didn't like him, saying he doesn't respect her or maybe even love her; in most parts, she knew they were kind of right: he was very dominant and expected her be obedient to him and had few more unsavory traits, but never the less, she loved him; for her, every other thing was a small sacrifice to be with him.
At the age of thirty-one, Kelly gave up her dream to be on an expedition and got married to Jonathan. At first, their marriage was a fairy-tail, the bliss of the honeymoon and comfort of being with her love, but soon, as months and years passed, his attitude started to become sour and worse. Even though Kelly was more educated than him, just because she was a woman, he treated her as if she has no intelligence; he expected her to ask his permission for everything in her life. Having a submissive personality, Kelly let him take the dominant role and continue to bear the mistreatment, trying to make the best of her marriage.
Jonathan Pierce held a high post in a gold mining company. He was a high-risk-taker and an aggressive gambler. This enabled him to make some achievements which his superiors had considered to be impossible, and obtained a high post in the company. For him, everything in life was a gamble. Once he sets his eyes on a target, he would gamble anything till he achieves the target. He was the type of guy who would leave the table either with his pockets full or completely empty.
At home, after a shower, with a sad expression, Kelly was inspecting her natural assets from the mirror. Even after three years of trying, she was yet to be blessed with a child. Jonathan hated children and didn't want to be hindered by responsibilities of a father, but after few arguments and her pleading, he had agreed to perform his duty as a husband, but no conception was happening. She had herself checked with doctors, and they couldn't find anything abnormal with her that would render her infertile; in fact, she was very healthy and fertile. Jonathan was too proud to get himself checked and had insisted that it must be something wrong with her, not him. At age thirty-four, her body seemed primed for child bearing. Her 5'2", hour-glass figure carried all the traits of a fertile female-body. Her 36D, full on bottom breasts begged to be filled with milk and her pink, puffy nipples lay on her magnificent breasts, begging to be suckled by her offspring. The contrast of her 24 inch waist and 37 inch hips showcased her ability to bear healthy children, and her full thighs and round derriere screamed out that the woman was a prime breeding sample. To add more, her eyes, beautiful face, shoulder long gold hair and smooth milky skin advertised her ancestral Nordic genes.
Letting out a sigh, Kelley got dressed and started preparing dinner. Jonathan came home when she was about done, and he seemed to be more friendly than usual; he had even brought her a pair of earrings as a gift.
"Wow! What did I do to deserve this?" Kelly asked while admiring the earrings.
For that, Jonathan said, "Should there be a reason to give a gift to my lovely wife?"
Kelly knew her husband was a very calculative and manipulative person; he did everything with a reason, for a profit. She knew he was expecting something back from her and wished he wasn't about to once again bring up discussion about bringing another woman into their bed; the last time, it had ended with her threatening a divorce. She loved him, but not enough to let another woman desecrate her marriage. She knew, behind her back, he was sleeping with other women, but as long as he kept the dirt from reaching home, she chose ignorance rather than the destruction of their marriage.
After the dinner, Jonathan started executing his plan.
"Honey, have you studied about the tribes in Papua New Guinea?" Jonathan asked nonchalantly.
"Yes, I've covered that region in my studies. Why?" Kelly replied, genuinely surprised about Jonathan being interested in her field; he had always called her work as a useless thing.
"I came across a chance of a life-time. If we take this bet, I...we could become filthy rich," Jonathan said while trying to hide his elation and waited to see how Kelly would react.
"Well, I think we already have enough money, and I know that a dig dream like that should come with a big risk too. But at the same time, I know I cannot talk you down from a gamble; you are free to do whatever you want. What I don't understand is about 'we' having to take this bet," Kelly replied in a cynical manner, starting to realize that she was about to find the true purpose behind the sudden gift.
"Come on; don't look at me like that. This is a win-win situation for both of us. I came up with a plan that could make both our life-dreams come true," Jonathan replied with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Kelly asked, genuinely interested.
"Well, let me explain from the beginning."
Jonathan refilled his wine glass and got comfortable on the sofa.
"Our company got some interesting information about a new, untouched gold source in New guinea. The information came from a Dutch missionary who had gone there. The company paid a hefty price to get this information and keep the missionary quiet; we don't want our competitors to get a wind of this." Jonathan said.
"Well, sounds like you guys already have everything under control. What does it have to do with me?" Kelly asked with a hint of displeasure; she didn't want anything to do with Jonathan's company; she knew, like him, the company was notorious to do anything to gain profits.
"The company has already sent few people there to investigate, and they have come to a dead end. The location of the gold source is known only by a small native tribe called 'Waraka' that lives deep in the jungle. Luckily, this tribe is not into cannibalism, but no matter how much they have tried to talk and bribe them, the natives are weary of strangers, and they keep their lips shut about the location. I think if someone who could learn, understand their customs and gain their trust, they might give us the location." Jonathan said and waited for Kelly.
"Let me guess. That 'someone' is me?" Kelly asked a bit sarcastically.
"Yes. The truth is... I want to start my own mining company. If I could find the location and keep it a secret from the company, after few years, I could start a new company and swim in gold. You have always wanted to go on an expedition; so I'm giving you a chance to fulfill your dream while helping your husband to become one of the richest men in the world. The best part is, the company agreed to finance the whole thing," Jonathan said.
Kelly had a hard time believing what she had heard. It was almost too good to be true. She wondered, years after abandoning one of her dreams, was it really about to become true?
"That's great," Kelly tried to hide her enthusiasm, "But New Guinea jungle and tribes are known to be hostile for even seasoned explorers, and to make matters worse, there's a civil war happening there. So an expedition like this will need lot of paper work and permissions. It could take months or years before we get an approval from the governments," she said with a little worry.
"Ok, honey... the thing is...we are in a hurry. It's only a matter of time before someone else gets the wind of it. And the other main thing is, we don't want anyone to notice this and send spies behind us to steal the information. So we are leaving United States as tourists and only the two of us will be going there to meet our guides there. By the time we get there, they would have bribed the officials there to get the paper work done for an expedition." Jonathan said while expecting Kelly to object at any moment.
