Couple of days after Mehta had gone to Maheshwari's house and had a good time with her, he came across the mother and daughter in the market. He rushed to greet them and was taken aback by Vandana's charms. Very much like Maheshwari. He invited himself to their house that evening. Maheshwari requested vandana to stay back for the evening fun.
Answering the knock on the door, Maheshwari was surprised to see Mehta bringing his friend. He introduced him as one Mr. Aslam bhai. Aslam bhai was much younger to Mehta...almost same age as Maheshwari. He was very tall and thin looking.
As they sat down to the pleasantries, Mehta shifted his seat next to Maheshwari. She moved a bit away. Mehta closed in on her and put his arm around her shoulders. Maheshwari sprang away immediately.
"What do you think you are doing?" she spat out her displeasure.
"It's okay dear, Aslam bhai is a good friend".
"Get out now! Don't ever step inside this house here after. Get out."
Even Vandana was taken aback by her mother's out burst. Mehta exited quickly followed by Aslam bhai. It long for Maheshwari to get back her composure. Obviously she did not want to advertise her affair with Mehta to anyone else.
After an hour vandana opened the door to see who was knocking. It was Aslam bhai. He stood out with an apologetic attitude. He said, "sorry Madame! I saw the photo on the wall. Is that your husband?"
"Yes", Maheshwari replied curtly.
Aslam bhai opened up, "Madame, your husband Aravind was my senior. He was the one who recruited me to the company. He trained me thoroughly. He taught me everything. It's because of him that I am well settled in life. Before he passed away I had taken a loan from him. I came back to repay it back. Please do not mistake me"
The Ladies were stunned. Silence. Aslam bhai was still standing in the door way. They invited him in. He stepped in hesitantly. Maheswari had tears rolling down her cheeks. Aslam bhai was feeling all the more miserable. Maheshwari assured him that she will be fine. He said he would come tomorrow with the money. Without waiting for an answer he exited.
Mother and daughter had a long discussion. Vandana called Rahul and relayed the happenings. He was very apologetic. She flatly told him not to come to their house here after.
Next evening vandana came in followed by Aslam bhai. He gave Maheshwari a huge bundle of currency notes. Both ladies flatly refused. They were impressed by Aslam bhai's sincerity.. He was accepted by both of them.
It was on his third visit things took a turn. As he entered their house, Maheshwari came out of the shower with her hair tied around in a towel. She looked fresh, clean and alluring, her curves well visible. She did not wear anything else except a blouse and saree.
