Raja & Rani were twins. They grew up together as good friends. The entire family being lawyers, it was natural for both of them to opt for law as their career. Raja was 5’ 10” tall, fair in complexion, broad shoulders, and had rugged features. Rani looked a lot like Raja, but was 5’ 7”, fair, light brown hair, and had a statuesque figure. Soon after graduation, as per tradition Rani was married to their mother’s younger brother. This is a common tradition and as a matter of fact, if the hand of the daughter is not offered in marriage, it ends up in bitter acrimony. Be that as it may, Rani was twenty three years of age when she was married to Shekhar, & who was 43 years in age. After the wedding, Rani left her maternal home at Bombay and went to Nasik, her marital home. When Rani went away, it dawned on Raja, for the first time the enormity of the loss. He realized that he had not anticipated the awful loneliness and emptiness that was now pervading his entire being. He could not bear the thought of not having Rani around. He resigned himself to the inevitable and tried to make peace with his maker. It was some months later, that he received a call from Shekhar, who after some small talk, reminded Raja that their birthday was on the following Saturday. He requested Raja to visit them on Saturday, so that the birthday of Rani could be celebrated and she would be pleasantly surprised to see him.
“What better present can I get for her, Raja?” asked Shekhar.
“Yes, but…..”
“No buts & ands, Raja, and that’s final. I am expecting you to reach Nasik by lunch time, and you are spending the weekend with us.”
Without giving Raja a chance to speak, he disconnected the line.
Shekhar wound up his work and returned home. Rani had not returned as yet. Whilst he waited for her, his thoughts went back to the night of their nuptials. When he had entered their bedroom, he had found her crying. He tried to ask her for the reason and it turned out that she was feeling alienated and all alone, in a new place, and was missing her sibling, Raja, the most. He had calmed her, by telling her that he would not trouble her in any way without her consent. During the ensuing conversation, he had informed Rani, that he was impotent and could not get an erection. He also told her that it was important for this fact to remain a secret always. He further informed her, that he had planned everything perfectly.
“Your birthday is due in a few months. We will invite Raja & nobody will suspect as you are twins and share the same birthday. He will be my present to you. Make him father a child. When the child is born, there will be no doubts, as both you twins look alike.”
He reminisced and recollected the surprise and shock on Rani’s face.
“One more thing, Rani! You are probably not aware, but tomorrow morning, the family will check the bed-sheet for signs of the night. Spots of semen and a natural red spot is sought, as when a girl looses her virginity, she bleeds when the hymen is torn. Accept my word and co-operate with me for tonight, and you have Raja for yourself forever.”
“What are you expecting me to do? You just said some time back, that you would not trouble me tonight.” As Rani posed the question, it occurred to her that he was right.
“So, what do you suggest?”
He had then reached for her and pulled her close to him. He laid her on the bed and his left hand went directly to her vagina. He had shoved his fingers up her vagina. She reeled in a reflex action. He put his right hand on her mouth and gagged her. She then saw that he had a vibrator in his hand and he was inserting it in her vagina. She bore the pain in silence and he managed to tear her hymen. He had then left her. She was in pain, but after some time she had relaxed when she saw that he had made his bed on the floor and was preparing to sleep there.
Whilst he was reminiscing Rani walked in.
“Hi there,” she said as she smiled at him.
“Hi, how was your day?”
“Just fine,” she responded as she walked up to him and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek.
“Hope you remember, my birthday is on Saturday.”
“Yes!”
“Your present is arriving for lunch, and yours truly will be away for the weekend. I’ll return on Monday. OK.”
SATURDAY
Rani was excited. She had myriads of ideas. Shekhar, punched away on the mobile.
Raja said, “Hello”
“Where are you now?”
“About 40 minutes away, Shekhar. Should be reaching within the hour.”
