I checked out and after settling the bills we headed for her car. Bellboy placed the luggage in the trunk and we drove off. As we drove to restaurant Anita was relaxed and this time she talked showing me around city and pointing the landmarks of the city.
We reached restaurant and selected a corner table away from door. The restaurant was empty except two other people. A waitress greeted us and led to a table near the back of the restaurant. As we settled, the waitress came back with menu card and asked if I wanted to start off with beer or wine. I wanted to have some wine but before I could speak Anita answered that water would be just fine.
She went off to get water as Anita went through Menu Card. She suggested me couple of dishes but not being adventurous with food, I ordered for spaghetti and meatballs. When waitress came back, she placed the glass before us Anita dictated our order and waitress skillfully jotted it down and re checked with Anita before leaving us alone once again..
As the waitress left, Anita looked over me with her hands on table. I took my hand and reaching for her hands, interlaced her fingers with mine. She had a surprise look at her face to my open show of love but she did not object an instead welcomed it with a smile.
We both sat without saying a word for couple of minute's just watching in each other eyes like teenage lovers. Finally I spoke, "I'm not sure what you would call what we just did but it was nice as far as I am concerned."
She broke the eye contact and the smile faded a bit, " I don't know how to define the relationship between us and I can't figure out how this is going to effect my future."
"Anita I know for sure if you didn't had this experience, you would have always regret it, same is true for me also. At least by doing this, we aren't left with regrets."
"Are you sure no one would find out?" she asked.
Her question gave me confidence, she was not worried about what we did but she was afraid of it coming in open. I knew for sure now that I have some wonderful time ahead of me so to reduce her tension, grabbing her hand I replied "We both are in same boat, we have been private and discreet as we can be, and we will be in future too. Fortunately, Ravi is not in town now and so are your kids, so why you worry".
I guess you're right," she replied adding with a faint smile on her face, "I think it's too late to think about it now."
As the food arrived. I sigh in relief, I had a feeling that if continue to talk on the subject may be the faithful Indian wife in her would return and spoil rest of time which I was looking forward to.
Placing the food on table, waitress left and we started eating. Tension on Anita face clearly showed and I was worried. As we were mid way of lunch, Anita took a deep breath, looked over me, and spoke very confidently, "This is first time for me that I have been unfaithful to Ravi knowing well what he is up to."
"I know you have had a very difficult life in the past" I replied "Also know that you have trials and tribulations that continue today." "There is nothing wrong with this because it is perfectly natural. Is there anything wrong with this?
Anita kept quite and continued eating her food.
I wanted to throw guilt of being unfaithful of her mind so I continued, "No, it is perfectly natural and should be suppressed."
"I have a family." Anita replied.
"You shouldn't feel ashamed." "Its is quite normal, we know each other for so long so and if you will not share your feelings with me, who else you will go to." Knowing well I am making some headway I continued " If I tell you that I had a desperate fantasy to make love to you and that, I have never had the nerve to tell you. That is, until today how will you react."
Anita's face was red and her lips were almost trembling. She did not say anything.
I paused for a short while concentrating on my food and never even once looked over to see her reaction. Giving her time to digest what all I had said. After couple of minutes I finally looked up. She was not eating her food was lost in a thought. Breaking her thoughts I said, "I have made it obvious that I have no regrets for the relationship we are now having, With all that Ravi is into, how about you."
Breaking her long silence, she finally spoke. Her eyes shining "I guess you're right," "If Ravi is not faithfully to me and is not considerate towards my desires I have all the right to look out."
We both smiled at the same time. I grabbed her hand and said, "I am happy you have regained your lost confidence."
When we finally finished our meal, I found Anita was a transformed lady. She held my hand over table openly and was not worried. As the waitress brought the bill, I reached for my wallet but Anita insisted that she would pay. I let her pay the bill and paying off as we moved out Anita smilingly asked me "What's on your list next."
"Many things," I replied "at the top is sex with you."
She gave a naughty smile and kissing me on cheeks said "You better finish your shopping and than we have all the time for all that."
