Chapter 8: Mala's Dilemma
Mala woke up refreshed the next morning. She went to the kitchen to make coffee for herself and her dad in her night dress. She thought of her dad and couldn't help thinking about his naked form she had seen the previous night.
She shook off that image, steeled herself and came out of the kitchen with his coffee. As she reached the drawing room she found the front door being opened and her dad entering the house after his early morning walk sweating all over. She beamed at him and said:"Hello Appa" (father in Tamil).
Venkat was surprised to see her, but absolutely delighted. He approached her with a huge smile and opened his arms for her. Mala hurriedly put down the coffee cup and they both hugged.
Mala who had just shaken off his naked image was suddenly flustered and shivered involuntarily in his embrace. Venkat too felt her shiver, released her from his arms and asked her:"What's wrong Mala? , is every thing all right? And any reason for this unannounced visit?"
Mala told him to relax, have his coffee first and then they could talk. They had their coffee in silence. She told him that she wanted to surprise him and her friend Devaki. She did have some marital problem and would explain everything later in the day.
She told her dad that she wanted to go and look up her friend Devaki and Kruthika next door and spend some time with them. Venkat told her:"Go ahead and I'll join you later in Devaki's house."
She changed, went next door and surprised Devaki who was nursing Kruthika. The child was awake and happily suckling at Devaki's milk filled breasts. When she saw Mala walking in unannounced, Devaki let out a loud hoop and delightedly welcomed her dearest friend.
Due to this Devaki's nipple slipped out of Kruthika's tiny mouth. Devaki laughingly put it back in the child's mouth. Mala felt envious looking at this very homely scene.
Devaki told Mala that she was not her usual chirpy self and asked the same questions that Venkat had asked her about her visit.
Mala told her: "Yes I do have a problem with Krish which I wanted to share with you and ask your advice. Also I wanted to surprise you and my dad last night by arriving unannounced. However it was I who was surprised in the bargain seeing you and dad together in the penthouse."
Devaki looked at Mala quizzically and said" How long did you watch us?"
Mala replied:"From start to finish."
Devaki gestured for Mala to sit down next to her and took her hands in her own and asked her:" Is that all or you want to say or you have some thing more?"
Mala nodded her head and became highly emotional. She cleared her throat and started to narrate her marital troubles:
"You know that I have been married for more than a year. The first six months were blissful. Krish and I got along very well both temperamentally and in bed. Thereafter things started to slowly go down hill.
Krish started to spend more time out of home citing his job. His sexual activities started to wane. When we did engage in it he seemed disinterested and distracted. Since we were open with each other, I asked him about his disinterest. He was vague initially and then confessed that he was and is a gay.
He liked having sex with me and was happy during the first six months of our marriage. Thereafter he started loosing interest in me as his male lover who had gone abroad was back for good. He got married to me to keep up the appearance of a heterosexual male.
I was devastated and I told him so as it was a bolt from the blue for me. I have nothing against homosexuality. A person's sexual preference is their own business. However this affected my sexual life. It came to a grinding halt.
We were both pretending to lead a normal life except in the bedroom. Other than his homosexuality, Krish continues to be a wonderful guy. He was liberal enough to tell me that he wouldn't mind if I find myself a lover.
I hope he could have told me all this before the marriage and we could have gone our own ways. I had nowhere to turn to and was highly confused. I immersed myself in my work to keep highly busy so that when I returned home in the evenings I was dog tired to think only about sleep and nothing else.
This was alright for a few months. Then my craving for normal sexual life resurfaced in spite of my tiredness after work. I watched blue movies. I indulged in stimulating my self. There was never a complete satisfaction in all these self indulgence.
I reached a breaking point. I couldn't keep things bottled up anymore. That's the reason why I came here all of a sudden without informing you or dad. I didn't have the courage to converse about this over the phone. Even now I am not sure whether I can tell dad all the things I narrated to you.
Then last night I saw you and dad having sex with abandon. It rekindled all my last six month's pent up desires. Once earlier, you came home after mom's death to console and be with us at my request. I had seen you and dad making love boisterously. Dad was with his back to me and you were riding him like a horse naked below the waist.
However I saw dad fully nude for the first time only last night. I was amazed at his huge cock and I couldn't help but compare it with Krish, the only other grown up cock I have seen, which is like a child's. It really creamed me.
Your ability to match him stroke for stroke with your petite body was really wonderful. You feeding dad milk like a baby, the oral sex you performed on each other and the various positions in which you made love further turned me on and made me realize what I was missing. Some of it I have seen only in hard core porn sites.
I was embarrassed for spying on you both initially, but that soon turned me on mightily. Looking at you making love, I masturbated myself to climax. Later in my own bed I was once again highly aroused by thinking about my naked dad and climaxed for the second time.
I was mightily aroused last night resulting in subsequent actions. I met dad in the morning after his walk. As usual he hugged me, but this time I felt a delicious shiver trickling down my spine and pussy.
This has never happened to me before. Is it because I saw him naked? I think dad felt me shiver. He asked me if I was alright. I told him I'll discuss with him later. I liked the feeling of being hugged by him in a non-daughterly way. I cannot wish away the fact that it aroused me considerably.
Are these feelings normal erotic arousal for a girl like me who hasn't had sex with a male for a long time? Between last night and now I have often wondered if these feelings are incestuous. I am royally confused. You are the only person who can advice me".
By now Kruthika had had her fill and was fast asleep with her mom's teat in her mouth. Devaki gently put her down in the crib next to the bed where they were sitting. She turned towards Mala, embraced her and then they both sat on the bed.
It was Devaki who now started to verbalize her thoughts.
"Mala I can well understand what you are going through. Something similar happened in my life also. In my case it was Kumar who was and is least interested in sex. He is a workaholic.
So soon after our marriage, I wanted a baby so that I could keep myself busy. Here again Kumar turned out to be a disappointment. His sperm count was very low to be of any use. Karthik wouldn't have been born but for me dragging him to fertility clinics for treatments. After Karthik's birth my sex life turned from bad to worse.
When Karthik started going to kindergarten, I wanted another baby. It didn't work out. I was so frustrated. That was when I came to Coimbatore to console you and your dad. Having sex with your dad was initially to pull him out of the loneliness he was in.
Slowly that turned into yearning for each other in a way neither of us anticipated. It turned into unconditional love by the time you were married. We were literally besotted with each other. If we were in the same city it became difficult for us to remain apart.
Neither of us considered this a sin or immoral. That's why I call him by name and not uncle when we are alone. Your dad loves being called Venkat by me. For him age difference between us doesn't exist.
Your dad is a fantastic lover. He becomes a teenager when we make love. We have no inhibitions between us. In spite of staying in different cities ardent feelings for each other didn't diminish. It became raging in fact.
It was providence which brought me to Coimbatore in the form of Kumar wanting to shift his business here. Your dad and I were thrilled. It was doubly fortunate that Kumar, me and Karthik moved to this house next to your dad's.
However, we had an understanding that if Kumar was in Coimbatore your dad and I won't get together for sex. Then there was Karthik. We didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings by being promiscuous. Your dad got the penthouse done up and gave me a duplicate key for us to meet.
After coming here, Kumar wanted to admit Karthik in Lawrence School Lovedale in Ooty being his alma mater. I was very reluctant initially to put Karthik in boarding from such a young age. But Karthik was up to it. Once we visited the school I too was convinced.
My love life was now fabulous. However with Karthik in boarding school my feeling of loneliness became acute. Kumar's problems still persisted. So I prayed for a second child. One day I mustered enough courage and asked your dad whether I can have his child.
