The sun was shining brightly when Mala awakened the next morning. Seeing the clock showing 11 A.M she was surprised. Having a bath as she came out she saw a note struck on the fridge informing her son was out to receive Rashmi who was arriving by afternoon flight.
Unable to believe his words she rang him on his cell.
Adithya was thrilled when his cell rang. Knowing who it was 'how are you Mom?' he asked.
'I am fine but where are you?' she asked.
'I am on my way to the Airport to pick up Rashmi' he replied.
'How sweet of you' she said.
'It's because of you I have asked her to come' he said.
'That is really very thoughtful of you' she replied.
'I am looking forward to reach home soon Mom' he said.
'Why don't you have to go office?' she asked.
'Have applied leave Mom' he said.
'What for?' she asked.
'I want to be close to my Mom' he replied.
'Why, Why do you want to be close to your mother?' she asked
'I want to kiss her' he said softly.
'You want to kiss me, what if your wife sees?' she asked.
'What's wrong is kissing? Can I not kiss my mother?' he asked enthusiastically.
'Yes you can only kiss your mother and nothing else, have you thought of it?' she asked.
'No I have not thought of it' he replied suddenly loosing his enthusiasm.
'Why what happened?' she asked and feeling him go silent 'come soon I am waiting' she said to cheer him up.
'Yes Mom I will' he replied.
'But don't forget to pick Rashmi' saying it she put down the phone.
Adithya was thrilled when he heard the last sentence. Thinking about her he drove to the airport.
It was around 4 P.M when Mala finally heard the bell ring. Getting up from the couch she cautiously moved to the door and taking a deep breath when she opened the door she was delighted to see a smiling Rashmi.
Hugging her daughter-in-law she gave her a rousing welcome and moving indoors she casually enquired as to how she was and how they had missed her.
Adithya joined them and they all sat for the evening tea. It was while they were having tea that Adithya started eyeing his mother. Sitting opposite he was keenly observing his mother waiting for her to make the move.
It was not long before she started the conversation. 'I think I unnecessarily made you come back' she said looking at Rashmi.
'No Ma even I had planned so' she said looking at her husband.
'Yes I think he missed you' she said looking at Adithya.
'Why would I miss her?' replied Adithya teasing his wife.
'As if you did not' shot his mother and looking at Rashmi she said 'I had a tough time yesterday.'
'Why what did he do?' asked Rashmi smilingly.
'Ask what he did not do' she said and looking at shocked Adithya 'he was kind enough to buy me a sari' she said softly.
'How nice of him' replied Rashmi.
'Why don't you wear that sari Mom?' said Adithya feeling reassured.
'No not that' saying it she stopped and looking at Rashmi 'why don't we ask Rashmi to wear it' said his mother.
'No Ma as he has brought it for you wear it' replied Rashmi casually.
'Rashmi you don't know how translucent it is' she said.
'So what wear it Mom' insisted Adithya.
Seeing her husband insisting 'wear it Ma' added Rashmi.
'Well if you both want me to' saying this she went to the room. Once inside she hurriedly undressed and putting on Rashmi's bra and other inner wears she draped the pink sari on and looking at her reflection and on being satisfied she slowly walked out of the room.
Adithya was enchanted when he saw his mother appear wearing the pink sari. She looked gorgeous in the fading light and when she came closer Rashmi took a deep breath as she felt it was too flashy a sari to wear in front of her son.
Getting up from the couch Adithya moved towards his mother and slipping an arm around her waist 'does it not look great on her' he asked Rashmi.
'Yes it does' replied Rashmi though she thought it was showing off all her curves.
'Don't you think I am a bit old to wear such a sari?' asked his mother.
'Who said you are old Mom. You can even wear saris which Rashmi does' saying it he tightened his hold on her waist.
'What kind of saris does she wear?' asked his mother.
'Some of them are very flashy' he replied.
'No Ma he is telling a lie' replied Rashmi shyly.
'Why what's wrong in you wearing them? You are still a bride' said his mother.
'Eight months have passed since we got married Ma' she said.
'So what?' she said.
'Why don't you change into something else' intercepted Adithya his hands firmly lodged on his mother's waist.
'What are you talking of Adi?' said his wife shyly.
'Wear the sari which you bought recently' he said.
'No Adi, how can I wear it in front of Ma what would she say' she said softly.
'What would I say? If your husband wants you to, then wear it' said Mala hugging her son.
Seeing her mother-in-law hug her son Rashmi got excited and as she got up she heard her husband say 'wear that matching blouse too.'
'Adi how can I? You know about it' she said.
'Mom she has got a new blouse stitched which looks great as it leaves her back fully naked' said Adithya.
'Wear it dear you need not feel shy. I think it's his wish' saying it she kissed Adi on his cheeks.
Seeing her peck a kiss on her son Rashmi got thrilled and when her husband embraced his mother a warm feeling crept up her body which made her rush into the room. Shedding all her shyness she quickly changed and putting on the new sari and blouse and letting her hair loose she walked into the living room graciously.
Mala was pleased to see Rashmi dressed up in the translucent sari. Her appearance was dazzling and as she crossed over looking at her long tapered almost naked back she felt aroused. 'You look stunning dear, no doubt my son missed you so much' she said looking up from head to toe.
Her words made Rashmi to blush and before she could reply she heard her husband say 'even you look gorgeous Mom' which prompted her to add 'yes Ma you look very attractive in that sari.'
'But I am not as young as you are dear' she said to please her daughter-in-law.
'What has age got to do Mom? It looks good on you' he said drawing her closer which prompted Rashmi to add 'yes Ma you do look very charming.'
'Now you both are pulling my legs' she said.
'No Mom you do look good' saying it he kissed her cheek passionately.
'Do you know whom you are kissing? Have you mistaken me for Rashmi' she asked teasingly.
'What's wrong in him kissing you Ma?' said Rashmi mouthing the words which he wanted to utter.
'Yes what's wrong in kissing you Mom' repeated Adithya grasping her in his arms.
'No there is nothing wrong in kissing me but the way you kissed I thought you had mistaken' she said cuddling closer.
'No Mom I wanted to kiss you from a long time and holding you close I could not stop myself' he said.
'Well if you both feel the same then its okay I suppose' said his mother.
'So sweet of you' saying it he kissed her again and this time he let his lips linger for a longer time on her cheeks which excited Rashmi. She wished he would kiss his mother on her lips and to encourage him she said 'you two look like love birds.'
'Yes we are love birds' saying it he smacked his mother's face with wet kisses which were very erotic.
Rashmi was excited seeing her husband kiss his mother passionately and as she sat straight watching them she was thrilled when her mother-in-law took hold her son's face and kissed him back. She felt aroused watching them and her hand slipped down to her thigh.
On kissing her son 'are you happy?' she asked.
'Yes but I want to kiss you. . . .' saying this he placed his finger on her lips and caressed them.
'You want to kiss me on my lips' asked his mother which jolted Rashmi.
'Yes Mom I want to kiss you on your lips. You know you have very promising lips' he said caressing them.
'Are you sure you want to kiss my lips not hers?' she said smiling at Rashmi who was observing them keenly.
'Yes I want to kiss your lips, they are so beautiful' saying it he brought his lips close to his mothers.
The scene aroused Rashmi, her hand which was on her thigh went up and when she saw her husband place his lips near his mothers and nuzzled closer she hoped her mother-in-law was not joking.
'Oh Adi do you really want to kiss me' said his mother when she felt his lips near hers.
'Of course Mom I do want to kiss those lips' saying it he held her in his arms and facing his wife he kissed his mother on her lips.
'Adi my boy' saying it she hugged her son and when she looked at her daughter-in-law's crimson face 'now I understand how you have missed her' she said.
'No Mom it is you that I wanted to kiss' saying this he seized her and pulling her up he kissed her again.
