How it began... losing my virginity.
Just out of junior college I was supposed to be heading to my mother's home town, a small village off the coast of Alibaug near Mumbai. I was to spend a better part of my post examination days to help out my uncles and grandfather to build a new house. The construction had already begun and the foundation was almost ready. My uncles used to come on the weekends to oversee and help.
I had delayed going as I was busy chasing my sweetheart around and whiling away time with my buddies. Finally Dad had enough of it and sent me off. He also told me that grandpa was going to pay me as a daily wage laborer though my meagre allowances will continue. Money was not a problem. Dad wanted me to face the hardships of life. Even I travelled by to school by public transport.
I, my cycle and baggage was dropped off on the ferry wharf on early Monday morning. I lit up a smoke as I waited for the ferry to dock. Someone smacked me on my head and I turned around in anger. Only to find a smiling face staring at me. Milky white skin, as tall as me and lithe curvaceous body went with that face. The culprit in question was my mother's distant cousin's elder daughter.
She also was heading to our native village for vacations. I was scared a bit to be found smoking but Janu as she was fondly called pulled the stick from my hand a took a long drag herself and winked at me. Elder to me by 2 years she was a desirable babe. Not that I had any such thing in mind at that moment; the next month was going to be different... I had no inkling of what it had in store for me.
We had known each other since childhood and been good friends. Meetings were occasional either during some weddings or summer vacations. We chatted about college life as I was eager to go in to senior college at the start of the new academic year. The hour long ferry ride passed in a blur. In the days of erratic bus service Janu asked me if I can take her along on my cycle.
I willingly obliged. It was a good 15 km ride. Our bags were on my back and Janu settled on the middle rod. It was a bit difficult for me to adjust but Janu said it was okay. My arms were touching her breasts from the sides and legs were grazing the butt while I pedaled. I was completely drenched in sweat when we reached. Janu gave me a peck on the cheek and asked me to meet in the evening with a cigarette.
Having just turned 18 a few months back I had been around some pretty girls. Though a cousin was a forbidden fruit and an elder one was a definitely off limits. But the peck on the cheek and the twinkle in the eye indicated something else. I felt a warmth rise up my body by the mere thought of her being so adventurous with me.
I finished breakfast and headed to the construction site. Swinging into action almost immediately I began to take charge of the workers. It was almost 5 pm when we stopped. Rs.20 is what I earned for a hard days labor. I forgot about meeting Janu and went off to play with my friends. It was post dinner when Janu sauntered in to our house. I saw the anger in her eyes. She pinched me hard causing me to yelp in pain. Granny started laughing and said you kiddos will never grow up.
The typical Indian village was off to bed by 9 pm. Grandpa asked me to escort Janu back to her house as it was dark and her home was a bit away from ours. Both of us wanted the same. As we headed back we detoured into one of the palm groves and lit up our smokes. Popping in a mouth freshener I dropped Janu home again to be rewarded with a peck on the cheek; this time the low light reflected a glint of a naughty smile in her eyes. One week passed in a blur and for us the routine was the same.
There was a wedding in the workers family so the construction was to stop for a day. I mentioned this to Janu who immediately asked me if I can join her to go to Alibaug for some shopping. We decide to cycle as she had managed to lay hands on one too. We were having fun all the way and back. While she completed her shopping I found some time alone to gulp down a beer. My earnings had been good for the week. It was late afternoon when we reached back Janu's home. There was no one around as her uncles and aunt were still in the fields preparing for the next seasons sowing.
The house was nestled in midst of long rows of coconut, jackfruit and mango trees. Janu motioned me towards the small water tank built near the well to get fresh. As I removed my tee and was facing the tank Janu tip toed behind me and quickly embraced me. Her hands began to move on my body. Though I was scared there was a different feeling too as this was a first for me. She turned me around and hungrily kissed me full on the lips. I too tried to follow what she was doing.
