This story is about the narrator, his sister, his wife and his friend and brother-in-law (husband of narrator's sister and brother of the narrator's wife). But before going into the humiliating, erotic and sexual part of the story one should have some background information.
I am Dipak, 28 years, married and well settled. My classmate Nurul and I joined service in a renowned multinational company at the age of 24 through campus selection.
Although both of us could have got posted at our home town or near it, we preferred to stay far away from our home and for next two and half years we planned and waited for our sisters to complete their B. Tech courses successfully.
We four, me(Dipak), my sister Payel, my friend Nurul and his sister, Rezia wanted to be away from the conservative environment of our respective families and our local town because nobody there would have approved my marriage with Rezia nor it could accept Nurul's marriage with Payel.
You have heard of love-jihad in India where some morons persecute the couples for inter-religious love or marriages. We four were clear examples of love jihad. The orthodox of both the communities were after us and wouldn't have spared our lives if they got chances. But we gave them no chances and were out of the reach of the morons of both the groups.
All of us knew what might be the reaction within our families as well as in the locality. So we were happy to be in a new environment away from our home town where people hardly bothered about our religious identity.
After Rezia and Payel appeared their final exams we brought them to our place where I and Rezia registered our marriage while Nurul and Payel registered theirs. The day court formalities were over, Rezia and me shifted to the first floor of the rented house while Payel and Nurul shifted to the second floor of the same house as new couples.
Much to the shock of our families we informed about having married outside our faith. Both the families knew about my and Nurul's atheist nature but couldn't imagine how and when we had influenced the apparently religious minded daughters of both the families. But one surprising similarity in the reaction of our grandfathers was that my 80 years old grandpa reportedly told my mother, "I was always doubtful about his intimacy with Nurul. Now by marrying his sister, Dipak could take as much beef he wants. If he comes, don't allow him to enter in the worshipping room."
Nurul's grandpa, who was around 72 years said almost the same thing, "He has married the Hindu girl so that he could taste pork. I know Nurul, he is greedy about food."
As we heard these reactions we four laughed a lot as if we got married outside our religion just for either beef or pork and love had no role at all. For four of us religion was not an issue at all and we all respected individual choice about food habits. There was no compulsion about food and other practices on either side.
My love for Rezia was since she was in Class IX. She was beautiful, not very much bright complexioned but had a glowing skin. By the time Rezia was in ninth standard, she was blooming. I and Nurul were then in HS standard and we often played and gossiped with Rezia and Payel. Our sisters were classmates like us. In the HS final, we both had secured positions within the first ten in the state board. There was a spirit of celebration in both the families and in the wake of that jubilant mood, I confessed to Rezia my love for her.
Rezia looked admonishingly at me and asked if she should share it with Payel. I pleaded ardently not to share it with anyone. Rezia agreed on condition that I would not bother her further over this. Both me and Nurul cracked the entrance to manage admission in one of the most prestigious Engineering institutes. Our hostel life started but I couldn't forget Rezia.
I and Nurul came home nearly after two years having appeared the fourth semester. Though at home, I didn't go to Nurul's house for a week to make Rezia feel that I was not happy with her for her cold response to my proposal of love earlier.
Rezia and Payel had by that time appeared their twelfth final exams and were preparing for JEE. On the seventh day of our arrival, Payel came to me to tell me that Rezia wanted me to visit her house to help her about Physics. I told Payel that her friend should take guidance of Nurul. Payel laughed and said, "She has something else to tell you that can't be told to her brother. However, it is up to you."
Payel left leaving me curious. In the evening when I visited their house, we maintained formal conversations about her problems in Physics and as I was coming away, Rezia stealthily handed over an envelope and said, "You were angry for not responding to your proposal. I have responded now. If you don't trust, ask Payel, she knows how I felt."
