The Basra's were predominantly from a Jatt community and that meant they were direct descendants of the rich landlords, who once had their word in the farmlands of Punjab. It also meant that honor and pride were a huge factor in their lives, especially for the males. So when people say Anand Basra, the head of the largest Basra family in the north-eastern parts of the state, was a ruthless, cunning and strict man, it was believed to be so.
Anand Basra and his family lived in a Palatial house, gifted to him by his father-in-law for his marriage with Jannat Basra, his wife who was in her 40s. He was 20 years older than her, but even in his 60s, Anand Basra's name was enough to scare away the local people. He even maintained a good physique, not by visiting gyms, but by frequently visiting his huge farms, walking almost wherever he went and keeping a tight control over his diet. He had vowed to himself that unlike his own father, he would never develop a pot belly and die of alcohol consumption.
To everyone who knew Anand, they always described him as this man who had developed an insatiable greed for accumulating vast resources, a man who had driven his rivals into either exile or bankruptcy thereby claiming their businesses or even going to the extent to say that he cared for no one, except himself and his family. But that was just the business side of Anand.
In the house, Anand showed himself as a doting father to his only daughter, Luvleen. Luvleen had always been a mischievous girl and Anand had actively encouraged the lively spirit with which she engaged the large household of theirs into playing with her. Anand did so, because he knew what he had been deprived of in his childhood and didn't want his daughter to face the same.
But as she grew up, Luvleen became arrogant as a teenager. She started hanging around with boys, groups with questionable intentions and even had a brief relationship with one of her father's longstanding rival's son. So Anand began to control her every activity and this naturally led to Luvleen feeling betrayed, as she was so used to getting away with nearly everything that this new face of her father deeply changed her understanding of him. She started to hide things from him, which somehow got out and there would be huge fights. School days were missed, exams and tests were skipped or deliberately failed. But ultimately she had to resign to her father and she began to relent as she matured. But her hatred for her father still developed into her adulthood.
Anand loved his daughter more than anything in the world, even his wife Jannat knew that, despite his failings as a husband. So Jannat and her daughter grew close while the father and daughter developed rifts in their relationship. Jannat found in her daughter, Luvleen, a new friend and vice versa. Luvleen, now 18 years of age, could always be found cuddled in her mothers lap and both talked endlessly. Luvleen got to know about her mothers life before her marriage and how she was forced to marry Anand, when Jannat's father couldn't pay back money he owed and had to give away his house and youngest daughter's hand in marriage to Anand.
Luvleen knew about the bad side of her father, but never really understood the depths he would stoop to. She had already made up her mind in the middle of her school days to leave this place and never return. So when it was time for applying for her college, she had chosen several universities in cities and states outside Punjab. But when she told her father about it, she was shocked to see him merely shrug his shoulders. Days passed and still there was no official confirmation from any of her applications.
As she was brooding about nothing in particular that day on her balcony, like she usually did, Luvleen heard the door to the second terrace below her open and saw her father enter. Only her mother was present there and she too glanced at the door. Her mother went back to spreading the spices to dry on the ground, which was her usual afternoon routine. Since she was on her hands and knees Jannat's voluptuous ass was facing Luvleen and her father. Luvleen looked on as her father went behind her mom and lifted the back end of her salwar. Both she and Jannat sprang back in shock.
But Anand seemed unfazed by his wife's reluctance and loosened his pants, while indicating his wife to turn around and face him, which she did, wincing as her husband began shoving himself in her face. Luvleen was too shocked to move, but somehow her gaze couldn't stop staring at what she was witnessing from her balcony. Even when her father caught her watching from above, Luvleen was merely covering her mouth to stop from screaming, yet staying in position.
Anand tensed up when he saw his daughter staring at him getting a blowjob from his wife, but seeing her not running away, strangely peaked his interest and he nudged himself further into his wife's mouth with his erect cock. And like that, still maintaining eye contact, Anand began to ejaculate inside his wife's surprising both himself and his wife.
Leaving her mother to clean herself up, Luvleen watched her father wear his pants as he appeared to leave, like nothing had happened. Anand looked up to see Luvleen no longer standing and went back to his wife, who had made herself busy. He strode forward and leaned on the parapet wall, looking at her bent figure. Jannat saw him and sat back on her knees, returning his stare with defiance.
Anand shook his head and folded his hands.
"You're such a fucking Randi." He said to her, disgusted.
"Thats mostly because you treat me that way."
"NO!" Anand shouted. "It's because you 𝙖𝙧𝙚 one."
Jannat felt her husband's rage and decided to keep her head down.
"Isn't it time to forget this now?"
"Forget? You might have forgotten, but how can I? You disgraced me..."
"Please," Jannat pleaded, "Not when Luvleen's here."
"If she's here, let her listen. Listen to what a stupid whore her mother is. I don't know what," Anand knelt down and pulled hard on his wife's hair, forcing her to meet his face.
"What prompted you to sleep with him, huh?"
"I made a mistake. Hai Tauba!" Anand let go of her by pushing her down and Jannat sat on the ground, letting herself fall.
"It was once. You weren't here and... it was a mistake. But I was lonely." Jannat stood up.
"Of all the people, that bastard. You have any idea what he was saying about what you two did? To the entire eager populace who wanted to hear his shit? And what in heavens do you mean by saying I wasn't here? What do you think I do in the city?"
"You consider yourself a saint?"
Anand boiled from within. "I'm the one who takes care of the land, the workers, our daughter's education. I gave a bloody roof over both you and your daughter's ungrateful heads. I even married you to rid your father off debt or else who knows, maybe one day I would have found you on the streets selling yourself."
Jannat fumed but said nothing.
"I had to cut your lover's tongue out to shut him up and his friends tips had to be singed so that they shut theirs. I've lost your respect, your daughter's respect and apparently everyone's."
"You never thought of losing respect, when you went out seeking whores when you were still married to me? What then?"
"You ungrateful.... That was my money I spent, looking after you all had a toll and yes I took out my stress that way.."
"And you don't think I had any?"
"I provided enough for you so that you didn't have to. What are you even talking about?"
"You might've provided mighty lot. But you were never here as a human being to me or your daughter."
"𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧. And before you say another word, don't bring Luvleen into this."
"Tell me truthfully, how much do you even know about her? How much do you actually bother about what goes on in her life?"
"Don't play this card. Even for a woman of your filthy status, it seems too crude."
"I'm being crude? You are addressing me as a whore, your own wife, to whomsoever listens, in the same house we share. You must even be telling your friends, that I'm a whore."
"Yes." Anand muttered intermittently during his wife's speech.
"Definitely. Oh! They're so, so interested in having you service them. Mmm."
"If you're so concerned that I don't spend enough time or that I lack interest in what happens in Luvleen's life, know this. When she goes to college, I'm making it a point to go with her."
"It would've been much helpful if you'd have done this earlier, rather doing it now just to prove a point." Jannat sat cross-legged and continued her work.
"A father must maintain a respectful distance from his daughter. Even you, as a mother must stop molly coddling her, especially at this age."
"I'm the only one in this vast house, that she can freely speak to. Do you even know what goes on in her mind? How your aloofness from her has affected her? How she has absolutely no idea what to do next in her life?"
"What do you mean?"
"She's in a crisis, Anand." Jannat got up and stood in front of her husband, wiping her hands on her salwaar.
"She has no goals and no set purpose. She.."
"No, not Luvleen. She's very good..." Anand began to say.
"I think it's time, we began to discuss about her marriage."
".... she's the most.." his wife's sentence stopped him and he looked at her in annoyance.
"Luvleen's marriage? Already? And you think i don't care about her?"
"Anand, please listen."
