She was Kalpana. She was an elegant, learned, ravishing and mature lady in her late twenties. She was a graduate with History as her majors. She was happily married to Vijay, an upcoming executive in a major IT industry. They were in the seventh year of their blissful life.
Vijay, being an executive was out of station most of the time. He was a hard working person who had a vision of reaching the top. Kalpana helped him in every way possible to see him reach his goal. She spent many a sleepless nights when he was out of town.
They lived in a small cozy place. They were childless. Both craved for a child but God had yet to shower his mercy upon them. Kalpana had recently opted to pursue her studies further and read for her Doctorate in Ancient Indian History. Vijay had encouraged her and totally supported her ambition.
One day Vijay came home bubbling with joy while Kalpana too was waiting for him enthusiastically. Both were anxious to convey news and it was Vijay who blurted out 'I have been selected to go overseas.'
Kalpana was very excited to hear this and hugged and kissed him, telling him how proud she was of him and for him.
When their joint excitement had calmed a little, Kalpana shyly said Vijay, you are going to be a dad soon'. Vijay looked shocked, hardly believing this wonderful news. He held her close, kissing her eyes, her cheeks and told her of his deep love for her. He was thrilled more than he could say but realized he must make plans for while he was away.
This was to change the very structure of their lives. As Kalpana was pregnant Vijay could not leave her alone. He decided that she would have to stay with his mother. Kalpana happily agreed and she looked forward to be with Ashik, Vijay's younger brother and his mother.
Ever since Kalpana married Vijay she had cultivated a strong affection for her mother-in-law and a brotherly rapport with Ashik. Ashik was more like a friend than a brother. They all enjoyed each others company and were most disappointed when Vijay and Kalpana had moved to their own house.
On Kalpana's arrival Ashik was happy to have friend, whilst Vijay's mother, Madhuri, was glad to have a companion. Vijay was relieved that she would be in his mother's care and everything looked fine; soon it was time for Vijay to depart.
The day Vijay was to leave he called Ashik to his room and, handing him a wad of currency, asked him to take care of his mother and Kalpana. Ashik felt honored at having been given a big responsibility but before he could reply to his brother Kalpana shot back. 'I feel it ought to be the other way round, he is still a child' she joked. Hearing it while Ashik frowned, Vijay smiled. He felt sure that they would take care of each other and that is precisely what happened.
Next morning Kalpana woke in her new surroundings. Her in-laws house was very old and lacked the basic amenities. Though the bedrooms were spacious, they were devoid of attached bathrooms. The house had only two bathrooms, one of the ground floor, which her mother-in-law used and the other on the first floor, which had to be shared by both Kalpana and Ashik.
After finishing her bath when Kalpana came down, her mother-in-law affectionately looked up at her and they started preparing the breakfast. Ashik strode in and extended a helping hand to them. Soon all three sat together for breakfast and Kalpana was overjoyed with the love and affection she received from both of them.
The next morning, Ashik saw Kalpana coming gracefully down looking pretty in a golden yellow sari. On reaching him Kalpana gave him a broad smile, which made Ash's heart leap with love. He returned the smile and asked 'did you sleep well?'
Kalpana replied 'so so' and entered the kitchen merrily. Ashik was pleased to see her happy. After breakfast, as he was about to leaved for his office, Kalpana gave him a list of toiletries fro him to buy. Ashik had to spend an hour shopping and this resulted in his reaching home late. He was surprised to see Kalpana waiting for him at the door. This act suddenly changed the degree of love between them.
Soon fifteen days passed and during this period Ashik was gradually changing as many small instances occurred, which were misleading and soon they mounted up. One day as Ashik was standing besides the stairs, a whiff of aroma made him look up and he was flabbergasted to see Kalpana striding down the stairs with her sari sweeping wide, exposing her legs up to her inner thighs. Seeing them he stood rooted to the spot and as Kalpana passed him, he eyes followed her.
He stood looking at the passing figure and when he saw the impression of her thighs and buttocks sway in the thin sari it gave his body a jolt. When Kalpana moved out of sight, he instinctively followed her into the kitchen and as he was mentally undressing her body Kalpana turned and was surprised to see him staring down at her.
Ashik moved away in a hurry which puzzled her a little. She then shrugged herself and went on with her work. Later as she saw him deeply engrossed in the newspaper, she went closer to him and brushing his hair with her hand said 'breakfast is ready'.
As Kalpana was setting the table his eyes took to her body. Shielding behind the paper, they roamed over the shape and mould of her breasts and also they sneaked in a preview of her midriff, which was enchanting to look at.
