He heard the car tyres screech and the door slam before she came striding in. She looked furious and it was the first time he heard her swear and as usual she went to her room and locked herself in. This was happening for a fortnight and Dileep sitting on the sofa could no longer see his mother suffer which prompted him to pick ip the diary and skin its pages.
On finding the desired number he dialled and the wait was tormenting before Shyla his mother's friend picked up the phone.
"It's Dileep," he said with a sigh of relief.
"How are you my boy?" asked Shyla.
"I am fine, can I speak to you," he asked.
"You are lucky to have caught me. I was about to leave," she replied.
"It's about mother, did she talk to you?" he asked.
"No what's wrong with her," she alleged.
"For a fortnight she has looked stressed and stays locked in her room. She comes out only when it's very essential and even then she evades me. Sometimes she howls at me and today I heard her mouth bad words." Said Dileep.
"Perhaps it's the tension of her workload," she replied.
"May be, but she does not speak to me about it. I think it's something different which is bothering her and you know about father," he said.
"Yes I know the idiot left her almost a year ago," saying it she suddenly stopped as she recalled Megha speaking about her boss passing lewd remarks and making passes at her. She had said that he had become bolder since he came to know her husband had left her. How could she say this to him? He may become furious and make a wrong move.
Changing course, she asked "How is your business going, can you support her?"
"Very comfortably," he replied.
"Then see that she quits the job."
"Fine, is it not a fact that he left her for another woman?" he asked.
"Yes a woman half his age," and thinking deeply "You know how women feel when they are cheated, they are depressed and find fault with themselves, but your mother is a very strong, stubborn lady and I think she needs some companionship."
"How can I help when she does not speak to Me." he said.
"You know as she feels very lonely she needs someone to rely upon," she said.
"Can I be of any help to her?" he asked.
"You can, provided you understand what her needs are." She said softly.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Taking a deep breath she said. "You know how women are. They don't want their weaknesses to be out. Your mother is trying to wrap things under her belt and you have to pull them out."
"Sorry I don't get you," he replied.
"You know women need company of a strong man who commands her and at the same time respects her. They have many weaknesses which they hide behind their saris. Your mother is one of them and you have to win her over." She added.
"But how," he asked anxiously.
"Be the man she is looking for, be the man of the house, own her."
"How is it possible? Will it not hurt her ego?" he uttered.
"Yes and see that her ego is not hurt," she replied.
"What do I have to do?" he asked softly.
"Are you not 22 years old?" she shot the question.
"Yes," he answered tamely.
"Does she not wear saris?"
"Yes, she does."
"Did I not say she hides her feelings behind her sari?"
"Yes, you did."
"Then Lift her Sari," saying it she disconnected the call.
Dileep was stunned on hearing those words. He could not believe what he had heard. Did she really mean it? The words kept ringing in his mind Is it possible, he kept wondering and not getting an answer he laid back on the sofa. He still had the receiver in his hand when his mother came and woke him for dinner.
Having finished his dinner he went to his room and recalled the telephonic conversation numerous times till sleep took over.
Next morning he did not find his mother in the kitchen which was quite unusual. Having brewed coffee he waited for her to come but still there was no sign of her. Many times he felt like going and knocking on her door, but decided against it. Finally he left a note to call him and left for office.
Reaching office he was disturbed. He felt he ought to have gone up and spoken to her. He waited for an hour but his phone did not ring. Pausing for a moment he rang his mother but she did not pick the phone. He thought she might be busy. Another half hour dragged by he tried again but same result prevailed. His anxiety grew and before he could ring again he got a message "not well running fever."
Reading the message Dileep virtually ran out of office. His mother who was lying on the sofa looked pale and as he touched her hand it was burning with fever. He called the doctor.
For two days Dileep took care of his mother without moving out of her sight and on the third morning as temperature was normal, his mother said. "I will be going to office today."
Hearing it Dileep screamed "No, you are not going to the office anymore," and walked out of the house leaving behind a baffled Megha.
Megha was shocked on two counts. First at the anger in Dileep's voice and second the authority in which he had uttered those words. It was the first time that he had shown maturity and this really surprised her. "Well if it is so, so it be," saying it she felt much relieved thinking all her worries had come to an end.
Dileep returned home to see a much livelier Megha relaxing on the sofa. This made him smile at her which was reciprocated warmly. Leaning forward he placed his hand under her chin and was glad that her temperature was normal.
Two to three days passed and on the fourth morning as he placed his hand below her chin to check the temperature he was surprised to hear his mother say "I wish I would fall ill again."
Smiling at her he shook his head.
"Why should I not, when I have you to take care of me?" she asked.
"Please don't fall ill again," he replied.
"Why?" she asked looking up.
Dileep became emotional as he replied. "Because I don't want to see you suffer any more."
Megha felt her eyes filling up. Unable to face him she got up and saying "so very thoughtful of you," went into the kitchen.
As she walked past, Dileep's eyes followed her and saw more of her as a woman than a mother. He wondered whether it was right. Then again thinking it was his mother's friend who had insisted upon, he felt much relaxed.
From that moment Megha too changed. Her frowning face gave way to a smiling one and her attire which was immaculate added a few notches to her beauty. This made Dileep eye her constantly and on one occasion passed a comment on her dress which at that moment went unnoticed.
Days passed and both mother and son were pleased to be in each other's company. Many a times Dileep passed comments on her dress which was taken sportingly by his mother.
One morning having overslept Megha was hurrying to finish cooking and in the process her sari got disarrayed and she was surprised to see Dileep's eyes focused on the exposed part of her midriff. She stood transfixed seeing him eyeing her waistline and even a she had set it right, Dileep's stare was glued to the spot. It was his first give away sign.
Recalling that incident and his comments on her dress made her think over again and again. It somehow brought a change in her. She started to like his comments and at times appreciated them by lifting her eyebrows which made him bolder.
Then inside the four walls of her room she used to recall the day's proceedings and more than once felt sure that he was showing some interest in her. She felt both scary as well as new sensations creeping up. She started loving the new sensations.
One day just to test him she brought the subject of going to work again but was reprimanded so severely that her knees buckled. Regaining her posture she said ' sorry' and moved away from him as the same new sensations started creeping up on being reprimanded. This was the beginning of the end.
Later as the days passed she saw a change in Dileep. He started to move around the house with authority and finalizing all decisions pertaining to the house. He made changes by having the whole house re-painted and re-furnished. He tried to remove all such things which would bring back the memories of his father and at the same time took good care of her.
Megha was enchanted. She loved all his work and went a step forward to take good care of him. She took care of his wardrobe; she kept everything ready for him. Slowly but surely she devoted her time to see he had not to lift a finger to get the things he wanted.
During the time he was out she used to sit and recap all minor incidences which had taken place and tried to debate them in her mind. Every time she found things had moved a shade further. Usually it was his comments on her dress that drew her attention as he used to eye her body while passing them. Gradually from her style of dressing it went on to the style of doing her hair. It was here that Megha found it easy to draw him to her as she kept changing her hairstyles. Dileep too felt she was gradually loosening up but he knew that she was one strong lady.
On one occasion as Megha had done her hair in a bun Dileep moved behind to have a closer look and it was there that his eyes drifted down to her curvaceous back which was left open and he could not pullback his gaze in time. His eyes had got glued on the strip of bare flesh and Megha standing in front of the mirror saw him ogling at her exposed back.
Megha did not move but let him feast his eyes and as Dileep looked up his eyes came in contact with hers. Being caught he did not try to hide but quickly said "it's beautiful."
"What's so beautiful?" asked Megha in a reflex motion.
"You are very beautiful Mom," replied Dileep stepping out of the house.
Megha blushed like a girl and as he went past. She stared at his athletic body as if she was seeing it for the first time. Making it a point to call him on his mobile she started searching for a valid reason.
Dileep on the other hand could not believe he had uttered words praising his mother's back. He felt certain she knew it and he was in a dilemma as how to face her. It was then he decided that he would call her and speak to her first.
Holding respective mobiles in their hands none dared to press the call button and as Dileep laid down the mobile he accidently touched the call button and felt excited when he heard his mother's voice saying "Yes?"
"Mom I think I have left my hanky behind," he said.
"Hold on I will check," she replied knowing very well that she had given it to him in the morning and after a moment said "It's not here."
"I think I may have misplaced it Mom," he replied holding the hanky in his hand.
"Shall I bring you one," she uttered softly placing the mobile near her lips.
"No Mom I will get one." He replied still holding the mobile.
"Do you need anything else?" she asked pressing her lips on the handset.
"No Mom," he replied.
"Come home soon," saying it she kissed the handset before disconnecting the call.
Dileep heard the smooch but thought it to be something else.
As soon as she had kissed the handset Megha felt a hot wave rush up her body and she hoped he had heard but in vain.
Next morning as Dileep was about to leave for office his mother handing him a hanky said. "Now don't misplace it."
"Yesterday I had not misplaced it Mom," replied Dileep on seeing her smiling.
"I know, I found it your pocket," saying it she moved closer.
Seeing her come closer he said. "I lied as I wanted to talk to you."
"You don't have to talk to me. In fact I was about to call you when I received your call," she said adjusting his tie.
Having her standing so close Dileep tried to lift his hands and place them on her shoulders but could not muster enough courage. Megha seeing his dilemma patted his cheek and moved away.
Reaching office, Dileep rang his mother the moment he was free.
"Have you again lost your hanky?" asked his mother jokingly.
"Yes and I want you to bring me one." He replied.
"Why don't you go out and fetch one," she said.
"But it is you who take care of all my purchases," he said.
"It doesn't mean that I will bring one to your office." She replied.
"I was hoping you would come, Mom."
"Why do you want me to come?" she asked softly.
Dileep replied. "Because two hours have passed since I saw you last."
"Missing me so much," she enquired.
"Yes," he answered taking a deep breath.
"May I know why you are missing me?" she asked.
"It's only you who can answer that."
"I can't as I miss you too." She replied.
Dileep was enchanted. "Oh! It's so nice to hear it Mom."
"Then why don't you come home," she said.
"The moment the clock strikes 6." He replied.
"But that's too long to wait."
"Have patience I'll come and take you out for dinner." He replied.
"That's very nice of you," saying it she kissed the hand set.
This time Dileep heard the smooch loud and clear.
Dileep was enchanted on accompanying his mother to dinner that evening. He was excited to be with a woman who looked dashingly beautiful in the golden colour sari she had draped on and he could not keep his eyes away from her even for a moment. His eyes were totally devoted to her and as the time flew he felt sorry to return back.
Megha too was thrilled to have spent the evening with her son, more so to see him ogling at her. She felt him being nervous at times and made up her mind to take the initiative. She waited for an appropriate time.
Next morning as Dileep started for office, Megha handing him a hanky stood in front of him and on the pretext of setting his tie started manipulating it. This prompted Dileep to place his hands on her shoulders and the moment he felt them a strong current pass through his body which made him grasp them more firmly. As Dileep grasped her shoulders Megha leaned forward and placing her cheek on his she cuddled him before moving out of his way.
A thrilled Dileep went on his way.
It was his mother who called him on his mobile and started chatting with him. As the conversation came to an end she kissed the handset before switching it off, she heard him call "Mom."
"Yes what is it?" she asked.
"Thanks for the kiss." he replied.
"Did you like it, do you want me to kiss you?" she asked.
"Will you?" he asked.
"Why, can I not kiss my son?" she replied.
"Yes you can but. . . ." he did not complete.
"But what?" she asked.
"Nothing Mom," he said as his Mom kissed the handset again "It's not that Mom," he said.
"I know it's not that, come home." Saying it she switched off.
"Come home," those words kept tormenting Dileep. Will she kiss me he wondered? Even if she kisses me it would be on my cheeks. How can I ask her?
Dileep had a tough time staying put at office and as the clock struck 6 he went home.
Reaching home he felt numb when he faced his mother and just to start the conversation he asked. "Shall we go out for dinner?"
"No, have a wash I will get some something for you," saying it she went in.
After having snacks Megha joined Dileep on the sofa. For some time they watched a serial and as Ads started Dileep switched the channel. There was breaking news with an earth quake hitting some city. It aired photos of collapsed buildings and corpses lying all around. Seeing the pathetic scenes his mother moved closer and encircling her hand around his waist snuggled up. By instinct Dileep placed a hand over her shoulder and drew her closer. Placing her head on his shoulder Megha watched the scenes unfolding before her.
They watched the news for some time and Dileep was delighted to stay put in that position. Dileep felt the warmth of her body as well as her strong body aroma. As he was enjoying suddenly he felt his mother peck a kiss on his cheek and as he turned to face her she said. "That was for being so nice to me."
"What did I do?" he asked.
"You don't know what you have done," saying it she kissed him again on his cheek.
"Had I known I would be so rewarded I could have done more," he replied with some courage.
"For a kiss!" asked his mother.
"Yes for a kiss but not where you kissed."
"Then where?" she asked hiding her smile.
Looking straight into her eyes "here," he said touching his lips.
"You want me to kiss you, on your lips?" she spilled those words silently.
"Yes, I have been looking forward for it for so long." He replied softly.
"Then why did you not ask for it?" she asked.
"How could I? I did not know how you would react," he replied.
"Now what made you ask?" she enquired.
"It was a chance I took and I am lucky enough to succeed," he said.
"But I did not say that I would kiss you."
"Not in so many words but your actions did." he replied.
"What actions, where did I slip?" she asked.
"Morning while you were knotting my tie, I saw your lips move as if you wanted to kiss and also for the fact you smooched the handset every time you spoke to me."
"You are a keen observer. What else did you observe?" she asked.
"I will tell you when the time comes," he replied gaining confidence.
"So you have been observing a lot?" she asked.
"No Mom, it's not that," he replied blushingly.
"SShhh, don't say a word, I know." She held his face in both hands bringing her face close she placed her soft lips upon his. At first she kissed him lightly and as his lips trembled she kissed him hard and coming out of the kiss she hid her face on his chest.
It took a few seconds for Dileep to realize that his mother had actually kissed him on his lips and as she nuzzled her face he toyed with her silken hair before pulling her up and kissing her.
Megha was excited on having been kissed and coming out of his hold she said. "I needed that very badly."
"Not as much as me," replied Dileep.
"Then kiss me before I go," saying it she lifted her face up.
Dileep holding her face kissed her and did not let go till his mother slipped out of his arms. As she started to go to her room he asked. "When can I kiss you again, Mom?"
"Next month." she replied.
"Do I have to starve for a whole month?" he asked which made her smile.
"Be a good boy and then we'll see," she replied closing the door of her room.
For the next few days Dileep tried all he could to keep her happy but could not muster enough courage to ask her. On the fourth day as there was a mishap at his office he had to stay back and it was 7.30 when he got a call from her.
"Mom there is a problem at office and I will be coming home late" he said.
"Is anything serious?" she asked.
"Not really, I'll come and tell you when I get home" he said before disconnecting the call.
Megha waited up for him and it was half past eleven when Dileep arrived home He was tired and went straight away to bed. It was Megha who felt sorry for him. At the age when he was supposed to enjoy with his friends chasing girls he was burdened with managing a company and also for the fact that he had devoted what little free time he had to take care of her. She felt it was too much of a burden and she needed to help him out, soothe him and give him some company.
Next day when he was in office she rang him and asked him to come back soon.
"Why Mom?" he asked.
"Feel like going to a movie," she replied.
"Well, I will get the tickets then," saying it he disconnected the call.
Megha dressed up for the movie. She had put on a bright colour sari on a black blouse which complimented her fair complexion. Having tied her hair in a bun her back was left bare to a certain extent. On seeing her come out of the room Dileep whistled at her.
"I am not your girl friend to whistle at," said Megha smilingly.
"Why don't you be one?" he asked.
"Do you want a 42 year old woman to be your girl friend?" she questioned him.
"You are not 42 years old, you are 42 carats and it would be my privilege to have you as my girl friend." he replied.
Megha was delighted to hear the comment. She felt like running and hugging him. Controlling her emotions she walked tall all the way to the movie hall.
Once seated in the hall Dileep nuzzled closer feeling the warmth of her body and basked in its glory. Holding her hand he caressed it lightly and did not leave it till the movie was over. Megha felt as if she was in a dreamland and had never hoped that such a day would come in her life. She was fascinated by the turn of events. She could not have dreamt for a better outing and made it a point to reward him.
After having enjoyed the evening thoroughly two tired bodies slumped on the sofa on reaching home. It was Megha after recovering leaned on her son and toying with his hair she nibbled his ear lobes and as Dileep opened his eyes locked her lips over his and kissed him.
By instinct Dileep put his arms around her and hugged her to his body. Megha squirmed in delight and throwing all caution to the wind she snuggled closer and holding his face in her hands showered kisses all over his face arousing him to the hilt. Taking advantage of the situation Dileep pushed his mother on the sofa and leaning over sucked her lips into his mouth and ravished them. Megha reciprocated his moves by thrusting her tongue inside his mouth and caressing every corner of his mouth.
They continued kissing passionately and Dileep having an advantage slowly started pushing the top of her sari which was already dishevelled. Having pushed aside the sari he slowly brought his hand down and started caressing her neckline. He was dying to have a look at the exposed part but as their lips were locked he could not lift his face. It was then he moved his hand on the nape of her neck and caressing it as his hand slipped further down Megha felt it.
Feeling it just above her breasts Megha shivered and not wanting him to continue she moved out of his grasp and holding the loosened sari to her body she stood up.
As Megha stood up Dileep nodding his head, indicated her to come forward but Megha shook hers. Then as he extended his hand to catch her she moved out of his reach. Finally as his eyes pleaded she made a mocking face at him.
Encouraged a bit he asked "why don't you let it fall?"
"What?" she asked softly.
"The part of sari which you are holding." he said.
"Why?" she asked seductively.
"Because I have worked hard in removing it from its place," he replied.
"So?"
"Ought not I be rewarded." he said.
"Yes, I will reward you but for a different cause." As she said this, slowly she let the top of her sari fall and stood exposing her blouse clad breasts and naked waist.
Dileep eyes took in all that was exposed to him. He was enchanted when he saw his mother's black blouse stacked with her robust breasts and as his eyes wandered down he was rewarded with a sight to die for as her vast waist line was exposed which showed the upheaval of her waist and also the hollow where her belly button was. The sight was spell binding. Dileep stood up only to see his mother turn and canter to her room. Running away Megha had forgotten that the sari which she had let fall was trailing behind and by the time she reached the door it had totally slipped off her body exposing the light coloured petticoat which showed off her mounds perfectly.
That was what Dileep's eyes had captured last before his mother entered her room. Moving forward he picked up the sari and after inhaling its aroma placed it on the chair which was observed by his mother through the key hole.
Having watched her son's action Megha stood in front of the mirror to access how much she had exposed unintentionally and as she turned sideways to inspect she felt a strong current pass through her body on seeing the impressions of her buttocks ensconced in the light material of her slip.
Lying on her bed she recapped all the sequences and debated them in her mind. Finding no fault with her son she reprimanded herself for her behaviour. She felt she was at fault for allowing her son to ogle at her. Moreover she felt that she had gone a bit far while she ought to have controlled herself. These thoughts tormented her. After all he was her son and it was her duty to control him. She thought of talking to her friend and suddenly recalled that she had gone abroad.
With no one to guide her she took to the route where in her body won over her mind. Thinking of what other boys of his age would have done, she felt she could control him and not let things go awry.
On the other side Dileep felt elated. The scene that his eyes had devoured was implanted in his mind and recalling it over and over he felt elated. He could not have asked for more.
Next morning was a bit tense for both of them. They stayed aloof and Dileep after having breakfast left for work. The same pattern prevailed for another day and on the third day as Dileep was about to depart Megha stalled him and adjusting his tie said, "Can you not tie it properly?"
"Why should I when you are there to help me?" he replied.
"You are past that age my boy," she said casually.
"I wish I wasn't," he replied.
"Why?" she asked setting his tie.
"As you grow up you tend to lose a lot. You drift apart and that closeness is lost." He replied.
"In other words you want me to be close; is that what you mean?" she asked kissing him on his cheek.
"Yes I always want you to be close," he replied.
Hugging him she asked. "When did you feel that I was not close?"
Holding her shoulder he said. "So far I have not."
"And you never will." With that she hugged him before moving out.
Dileep heaved a sigh of relief. It had taken a lot of home work to bring her back on tracks. Having reached the office he rang her up and when she answered. "Are you free to go out with your boy friend?"
"Yes, if he takes me out for dinner," she replied.
"Can you suggest a good place?" he asked.
"Whichever my boy fancies," she replied.
"Fine, can I suggest something?" he asked.
"Yes what is it?"
"Shall we will go dancing afterwards," he said casually.
"Do you think your 42 carat girl friend can dance?" she asked.
Hearing it he said. "I can teach you."
"Then teach me at home."Saying it she switched off her mobile.
Ringing her again he said. "You didn't kiss me."
"For that you have to come home." she said and wondered what all excuses men make.
Dileep took his Mom to a five star restaurant. On entering Megha felt a couple of eyes peering at her and feeling elated she held her son's hand and leaned on him. Dileep was fascinated by her move and taking advantage he took her around the hotel lobby, ball room, swimming pool and other places enjoying every moment of being close to her.
After having dinner as they left Dileep slipping his arm around her waist escorted her to the parking lot caressing her waist softly and when they reached the car he was surprised when his mother kissed him. Sitting beside her, as he looked up, she said. "It was for that wonderful evening."
"It came as a big surprise Mom," he said.
"Why?" she asked quizzically.
"For having kissed me in front of all those people," he replied.
"Did you not see what others were doing?" she asked.
"Yes, they were . . . . . . "he did not complete as he heard her say. "Can I not kiss my boy friend?"
"Yes, you can kiss your boy friend and also dance with him," he replied.
"Are you sure she will dance?" her eyes questioned him.
"Yes it was decided." he said with authority.
"So you are keen to teach your girl friend dance, why?" she asked.
"Coz I like dancing," he replied.
"With your girl friend?" she asked.
He wanted to say with Mom but changing "Yes," he replied.
"A 42 carat girl friend," she asked as she stopped at a signal.
"Yes a gorgeous 42 carat girl friend." Saying it he leaned forward and kissed her.
"I was hoping you would kiss me at the hotel," she said.
"I wanted to but could not muster enough courage," he replied.
"What made you do it now?" she asked.
"I have gained confidence after you kissed me in the parking lot," he replied.
"Is it not a guy who usually kisses his girl friend first?" she asked.
"Yes, but who said I kissed my girl friend?" he replied looking at her.
Megha's body trembled on hearing those words, holding on to the steering. "Whom did you kiss?" she asked softly.
"I kissed my mother," he said looking straight into her eyes.
Those words sent warm waves up her body and unable to look at him but wanting to continue the chat she asked. "Why me?"
"Coz you are the most beautiful woman," he said.
"If you think you will be rewarded for that, forget it."
"Truth always prevails Mom," he replied.
"What has made you feel so confident?" she asked smilingly.
"On being kissed in the parking lot."
"Yes, you have a point there and did I do anything else to boost your confidence?" she asked.
"All that you have been doing, adds to my confidence," he replied.
"You seem to be observing a lot, but still can you name one particular instance?" she asked.
"Yes and what you are doing right now is one example," he said sliding closer.
"What have I done now?" she asked seeing him snuggling up.
Getting closer and grasping her shoulder. "You have hit the dirt road instead of going home."
"Oh! That's because I need some fresh air." she replied.
Sneaking closer he said. "Fresh air's fine, but for that you don't have to drive through rough terrain."
"Then why do think I took this route?" she asked very softly.
"For some excitement, for some privacy I suppose," he replied helping her to manoeuvre the curve.
"Yes, you are right and this is exciting," she said allowing him to hold her firmly as she climbed the small hillock and on reaching the top "this is it." she said shutting off the motor.
"Yes, this place is isolated," said Dileep pulling his mother in his arms.
Cozying up in his arms she asked. "Why did you pull me?"
"Felt like having your warm body in my arms," he replied.
"Have you not had any woman in your arms before?" she asked as she felt his arms tighten around her.
"When do you think I had time for that," he replied brushing aside the loose hair from her face.
"Yes you had not. If you had whom would you have had in your arms?" she asked planting a kiss on his forehead.
"None other than you," he replied.
"Why me?" she asked hiding her face on his chest.
"Because you are the most sensuous woman I have known." He said as he bit her ear.
"Does one treat a woman like that?" she asked.
"What can I do if she hides her face," he replied.
Feeling shy she replied. "Women don't fall prey so easily, one has to coax them."
"Coaxing is what I have been doing isn't it?" he asked lifting her face.
"Yes you have done a lot," saying it first she brushed her lips on his forehead and then cupping his face kissed his lips hard.
Dileep was thrilled to have been kissed. Toying with her hair and kissing her back. "It's so exciting to kiss your lips Mom," he said.
"What's so exciting in kissing an old woman? You ought to have some young girl friend," she said.
"No girl however young would bring such excitement Mom," as he said it he slowly pulled down the sari covering her bosom and exposing her breasts draped in the blouse he said. "This is what I have been longing to see."
"What's there that you haven't seen?" she asked as she felt her breasts heave inside the blouse due to her deep breathing.
"It's not what's there but it's whose that matters," he replied staring at the bulge of her breasts left uncovered by her blouse.
Hearing those words a hot wave shot through her body "Whose is it?" she asked excitedly.
"It's of a woman who I admire most and for the relation we have, believe me it's very exciting as it is very difficult to reach the point where I have reached," he said placing his hand on the exposed part of her breast.
"Don't you think it is forbidden?" she asked feeling his hand gaining ground.
"We have done nothing to say it's forbidden and moreover the subject can be debated," he said as his hand sailed inside her blouse.
"You seem to have mastered the subject," she said as she felt her body tremble on feeling his hand right at the top of her breast.
"No, I have not but circumstances have enriched me." He said cupping her breast.
"Yes you are a very thoughtful person and I see no harm coming from your side." she said enjoying the warmth of his hand squeezing her breast.
"I am not only thoughtful but also a skilful person," he said as he unhooked the top two hooks of her blouse.
"It's quite obvious how skilful you are. You need not show your skills now," she said as hot waves crept over her body.
"If I don't use them to my advantage then what's the use of being skilful," he replied as he unhooked the last hook.
"But limit your skills as you have gained a lot of ground," she replied and when he pushed aside the flaps of her blouse and denuded her breasts to a large extent. "Have you not crossed the limit?" she asked on the verge of having an orgasm.
Staring at her voluptuous breasts stacked behind the small black lacy bra. "They are absolutely beautiful Mom," he said and as he placed his lips between the valley and kissed them, Megha felt her body tremble and holding hard the upholstery "Dileep," she screamed when his warm wet lips dipped further down her cleavage.
Hearing her scream his name and seeing her body trembling, Dileep mustered enough courage and manoeuvring his face to the right he pushed the bra down with his chin and engulfed her naked breast in his mouth.
Megha's body trembled on this assault, crisscrossing her legs and biting her lips hard she once again screamed as a stream ran out of her on having Dileep suck her breast.
Regaining her composure she pulled Dileep up and showering kisses over his face. "Don't you feel we should leave now?" she asked.
"Yes Mom," he replied very courteously.
Tidying up she took a U turn and drove very cautiously, all the time thinking how lucky she was to have such an obedient son. Recalling the conversation they had she felt there was no harm in rewarding him a little as at any time of the game she could put a stop to it. With these thoughts she entered the house and before she could go to her room she stood her ground as Dileep caught hold of her hand.
Turning slowly she placed her arms over his shoulders and leaning forward kissed him hard on his mouth, sucking his lips, ravaging them and before Dileep could realize what was happening she moved out of his arms saying "I am tired." Once in her room she felt she should slow down the game she was playing at.
Dileep felt like he was on the moon: such was the impact of the kiss. Thinking many such kisses are his to be had he went up to his abode?
Next morning having overslept Dileep rushed to his office and after looking into the day's proceedings he reclined on the chair before he rang his mother.
Picking up the phone "whom do you want to speak, your girl friend or someone else?" she teased.
"I want to speak to my 42 carat Mom," he replied.
"May I know why you want to speak to her when you ought to be working?" she asked.
"It is only after finishing my work I have rung and as the matter is of most importance I do need to speak to her." he said.
"May I know what it is so important that you want to speak to her?" she asked.
"I want to thank her," he replied.
"Why, what did she do, gave you enough pocket money?" She asked.
"She gave me something which money cannot buy," he replied.
"What's it that money cannot buy?" she asked mildly.
"It was a kiss so passionate, so exciting, so provocative that had she continued to kiss for few more seconds then it would have had the same result like it happened to her yesterday," he replied.
"Why, what happened to me yesterday?" she asked.
"The last kiss don't you remember it?" he asked.
Feeling her body warming up to his chat "what kiss, what are you talking about?" she asked.
"The kiss I planted on your voluptuous mounds made it possible, didn't it?" he asked.
Excited by his word, "How could do you have known it?" she asked.
"The way you reacted, the way your body trembled and the way you screamed my name when I had your breast in my mouth, all added to it," he said with authority.
"You dirty fellow, is it how you talk to a woman?" she asked.
"I was just describing what happened and had I seen what my lips where sucking on then I would have painted a different picture," he replied.
"You are a filthy person. Tell me why you could not see what your so called lips where doing?" she asked as her body started warming up.
"I could not see as it was dark and also for the fact that my face was obstructing the view." he said.
"It serves you right," she said.
"Don't I get a chance to see them again?" he asked.
"Not even in your dreams," she replied smilingly.
"Why should I dream when one scene is etched in my brain," he replied.
"Which scene?" she asked.
"The one when I undid your blouse and saw the most provocative pair of breasts juggling behind the tiny black bra," he said.
"Why do you call it tiny?" she asked.
"Because they could hardly contain your breasts," he said.
"When your eyes have seen so much what more is there to see?" she asked.
"If there is nothing more to see then why you are hiding them?" he replied.
"That's a good question. Because I think what you want to see is forbidden."
"Even Adam tasted a forbidden fruit."
"May be he thought it was too sweet," she said.
"It could not be sweeter than what you are hiding," he replied.
"So?" She waited for his response.
"So it's my privilege to have a look at them."
"Are you not ashamed to see those?" she asked.
"On the contrary I would be fortunate if you would allow me," he replied.
"I don't think I can do what you did."
"What did I do?" he asked.
"Are you not ashamed to ask me, did you not open my blouse? I can't do that." she said loudly.
"Who asked you to do it? That would be my pleasure," he said.
"You insane men, I don't know what all you would do to derive pleasure," she said.
"Why do you blame us poor people? You possess such charm which makes us go on our knees," he replied.
"There is no point in talking to you. When are you coming home?" she asked.
"Will be late, don't wait for dinner." with that he cut the call.
"Poor guy" thought Megha and tried to recollect when he had taken time to go on a holiday or enjoy with friends, but could find none.
It was well after 9 pm when Dileep eventually reached home and not finding his mother went up to the balcony to see her sitting on the settee gazing at the sky.
Sitting beside her he said. "This is quite refreshing."
Turning to face him "Your job must be very taxing," she said.
"Not always," he replied seeing her concerned.
"Why don't you take leave or go on a vacation."
"Where shall I go and with whom shall I go?" he asked.
"Why, you can go any place and with whomsoever you want," she said poking her finger at his waist.
"What if I say, sitting here along with you is more relaxing."
"Are you saying it to please me?" she asked.
"No I would consider myself lucky if I could sit beside you and spend the night chatting," he replied looking into her eyes.
"And miss going to office the next day?" she replied ruffling his hair.
"Not at all, tomorrow happens to be Sunday."
"Oh! Since I stopped going to office I have lost count of days."
"Any regrets," he asked moving closer.
"No, I have not had such happiness before and all this is because of you," she replied.
"You are one gorgeous woman that I want to be happy forever," he replied.
On finding the desired number he dialled and the wait was tormenting before Shyla his mother's friend picked up the phone.
"It's Dileep," he said with a sigh of relief.
"How are you my boy?" asked Shyla.
"I am fine, can I speak to you," he asked.
"You are lucky to have caught me. I was about to leave," she replied.
"It's about mother, did she talk to you?" he asked.
"No what's wrong with her," she alleged.
"For a fortnight she has looked stressed and stays locked in her room. She comes out only when it's very essential and even then she evades me. Sometimes she howls at me and today I heard her mouth bad words." Said Dileep.
"Perhaps it's the tension of her workload," she replied.
"May be, but she does not speak to me about it. I think it's something different which is bothering her and you know about father," he said.
"Yes I know the idiot left her almost a year ago," saying it she suddenly stopped as she recalled Megha speaking about her boss passing lewd remarks and making passes at her. She had said that he had become bolder since he came to know her husband had left her. How could she say this to him? He may become furious and make a wrong move.
Changing course, she asked "How is your business going, can you support her?"
"Very comfortably," he replied.
"Then see that she quits the job."
"Fine, is it not a fact that he left her for another woman?" he asked.
"Yes a woman half his age," and thinking deeply "You know how women feel when they are cheated, they are depressed and find fault with themselves, but your mother is a very strong, stubborn lady and I think she needs some companionship."
"How can I help when she does not speak to Me." he said.
"You know as she feels very lonely she needs someone to rely upon," she said.
"Can I be of any help to her?" he asked.
"You can, provided you understand what her needs are." She said softly.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Taking a deep breath she said. "You know how women are. They don't want their weaknesses to be out. Your mother is trying to wrap things under her belt and you have to pull them out."
"Sorry I don't get you," he replied.
"You know women need company of a strong man who commands her and at the same time respects her. They have many weaknesses which they hide behind their saris. Your mother is one of them and you have to win her over." She added.
"But how," he asked anxiously.
"Be the man she is looking for, be the man of the house, own her."
"How is it possible? Will it not hurt her ego?" he uttered.
"Yes and see that her ego is not hurt," she replied.
"What do I have to do?" he asked softly.
"Are you not 22 years old?" she shot the question.
"Yes," he answered tamely.
"Does she not wear saris?"
"Yes, she does."
"Did I not say she hides her feelings behind her sari?"
"Yes, you did."
"Then Lift her Sari," saying it she disconnected the call.
Dileep was stunned on hearing those words. He could not believe what he had heard. Did she really mean it? The words kept ringing in his mind Is it possible, he kept wondering and not getting an answer he laid back on the sofa. He still had the receiver in his hand when his mother came and woke him for dinner.
Having finished his dinner he went to his room and recalled the telephonic conversation numerous times till sleep took over.
Next morning he did not find his mother in the kitchen which was quite unusual. Having brewed coffee he waited for her to come but still there was no sign of her. Many times he felt like going and knocking on her door, but decided against it. Finally he left a note to call him and left for office.
Reaching office he was disturbed. He felt he ought to have gone up and spoken to her. He waited for an hour but his phone did not ring. Pausing for a moment he rang his mother but she did not pick the phone. He thought she might be busy. Another half hour dragged by he tried again but same result prevailed. His anxiety grew and before he could ring again he got a message "not well running fever."
Reading the message Dileep virtually ran out of office. His mother who was lying on the sofa looked pale and as he touched her hand it was burning with fever. He called the doctor.
For two days Dileep took care of his mother without moving out of her sight and on the third morning as temperature was normal, his mother said. "I will be going to office today."
Hearing it Dileep screamed "No, you are not going to the office anymore," and walked out of the house leaving behind a baffled Megha.
Megha was shocked on two counts. First at the anger in Dileep's voice and second the authority in which he had uttered those words. It was the first time that he had shown maturity and this really surprised her. "Well if it is so, so it be," saying it she felt much relieved thinking all her worries had come to an end.
Dileep returned home to see a much livelier Megha relaxing on the sofa. This made him smile at her which was reciprocated warmly. Leaning forward he placed his hand under her chin and was glad that her temperature was normal.
Two to three days passed and on the fourth morning as he placed his hand below her chin to check the temperature he was surprised to hear his mother say "I wish I would fall ill again."
Smiling at her he shook his head.
"Why should I not, when I have you to take care of me?" she asked.
"Please don't fall ill again," he replied.
"Why?" she asked looking up.
Dileep became emotional as he replied. "Because I don't want to see you suffer any more."
Megha felt her eyes filling up. Unable to face him she got up and saying "so very thoughtful of you," went into the kitchen.
As she walked past, Dileep's eyes followed her and saw more of her as a woman than a mother. He wondered whether it was right. Then again thinking it was his mother's friend who had insisted upon, he felt much relaxed.
From that moment Megha too changed. Her frowning face gave way to a smiling one and her attire which was immaculate added a few notches to her beauty. This made Dileep eye her constantly and on one occasion passed a comment on her dress which at that moment went unnoticed.
Days passed and both mother and son were pleased to be in each other's company. Many a times Dileep passed comments on her dress which was taken sportingly by his mother.
One morning having overslept Megha was hurrying to finish cooking and in the process her sari got disarrayed and she was surprised to see Dileep's eyes focused on the exposed part of her midriff. She stood transfixed seeing him eyeing her waistline and even a she had set it right, Dileep's stare was glued to the spot. It was his first give away sign.
Recalling that incident and his comments on her dress made her think over again and again. It somehow brought a change in her. She started to like his comments and at times appreciated them by lifting her eyebrows which made him bolder.
Then inside the four walls of her room she used to recall the day's proceedings and more than once felt sure that he was showing some interest in her. She felt both scary as well as new sensations creeping up. She started loving the new sensations.
One day just to test him she brought the subject of going to work again but was reprimanded so severely that her knees buckled. Regaining her posture she said ' sorry' and moved away from him as the same new sensations started creeping up on being reprimanded. This was the beginning of the end.
Later as the days passed she saw a change in Dileep. He started to move around the house with authority and finalizing all decisions pertaining to the house. He made changes by having the whole house re-painted and re-furnished. He tried to remove all such things which would bring back the memories of his father and at the same time took good care of her.
Megha was enchanted. She loved all his work and went a step forward to take good care of him. She took care of his wardrobe; she kept everything ready for him. Slowly but surely she devoted her time to see he had not to lift a finger to get the things he wanted.
During the time he was out she used to sit and recap all minor incidences which had taken place and tried to debate them in her mind. Every time she found things had moved a shade further. Usually it was his comments on her dress that drew her attention as he used to eye her body while passing them. Gradually from her style of dressing it went on to the style of doing her hair. It was here that Megha found it easy to draw him to her as she kept changing her hairstyles. Dileep too felt she was gradually loosening up but he knew that she was one strong lady.
On one occasion as Megha had done her hair in a bun Dileep moved behind to have a closer look and it was there that his eyes drifted down to her curvaceous back which was left open and he could not pullback his gaze in time. His eyes had got glued on the strip of bare flesh and Megha standing in front of the mirror saw him ogling at her exposed back.
Megha did not move but let him feast his eyes and as Dileep looked up his eyes came in contact with hers. Being caught he did not try to hide but quickly said "it's beautiful."
"What's so beautiful?" asked Megha in a reflex motion.
"You are very beautiful Mom," replied Dileep stepping out of the house.
Megha blushed like a girl and as he went past. She stared at his athletic body as if she was seeing it for the first time. Making it a point to call him on his mobile she started searching for a valid reason.
Dileep on the other hand could not believe he had uttered words praising his mother's back. He felt certain she knew it and he was in a dilemma as how to face her. It was then he decided that he would call her and speak to her first.
Holding respective mobiles in their hands none dared to press the call button and as Dileep laid down the mobile he accidently touched the call button and felt excited when he heard his mother's voice saying "Yes?"
"Mom I think I have left my hanky behind," he said.
"Hold on I will check," she replied knowing very well that she had given it to him in the morning and after a moment said "It's not here."
"I think I may have misplaced it Mom," he replied holding the hanky in his hand.
"Shall I bring you one," she uttered softly placing the mobile near her lips.
"No Mom I will get one." He replied still holding the mobile.
"Do you need anything else?" she asked pressing her lips on the handset.
"No Mom," he replied.
"Come home soon," saying it she kissed the handset before disconnecting the call.
Dileep heard the smooch but thought it to be something else.
As soon as she had kissed the handset Megha felt a hot wave rush up her body and she hoped he had heard but in vain.
Next morning as Dileep was about to leave for office his mother handing him a hanky said. "Now don't misplace it."
"Yesterday I had not misplaced it Mom," replied Dileep on seeing her smiling.
"I know, I found it your pocket," saying it she moved closer.
Seeing her come closer he said. "I lied as I wanted to talk to you."
"You don't have to talk to me. In fact I was about to call you when I received your call," she said adjusting his tie.
Having her standing so close Dileep tried to lift his hands and place them on her shoulders but could not muster enough courage. Megha seeing his dilemma patted his cheek and moved away.
Reaching office, Dileep rang his mother the moment he was free.
"Have you again lost your hanky?" asked his mother jokingly.
"Yes and I want you to bring me one." He replied.
"Why don't you go out and fetch one," she said.
"But it is you who take care of all my purchases," he said.
"It doesn't mean that I will bring one to your office." She replied.
"I was hoping you would come, Mom."
"Why do you want me to come?" she asked softly.
Dileep replied. "Because two hours have passed since I saw you last."
"Missing me so much," she enquired.
"Yes," he answered taking a deep breath.
"May I know why you are missing me?" she asked.
"It's only you who can answer that."
"I can't as I miss you too." She replied.
Dileep was enchanted. "Oh! It's so nice to hear it Mom."
"Then why don't you come home," she said.
"The moment the clock strikes 6." He replied.
"But that's too long to wait."
"Have patience I'll come and take you out for dinner." He replied.
"That's very nice of you," saying it she kissed the hand set.
This time Dileep heard the smooch loud and clear.
Dileep was enchanted on accompanying his mother to dinner that evening. He was excited to be with a woman who looked dashingly beautiful in the golden colour sari she had draped on and he could not keep his eyes away from her even for a moment. His eyes were totally devoted to her and as the time flew he felt sorry to return back.
Megha too was thrilled to have spent the evening with her son, more so to see him ogling at her. She felt him being nervous at times and made up her mind to take the initiative. She waited for an appropriate time.
Next morning as Dileep started for office, Megha handing him a hanky stood in front of him and on the pretext of setting his tie started manipulating it. This prompted Dileep to place his hands on her shoulders and the moment he felt them a strong current pass through his body which made him grasp them more firmly. As Dileep grasped her shoulders Megha leaned forward and placing her cheek on his she cuddled him before moving out of his way.
A thrilled Dileep went on his way.
It was his mother who called him on his mobile and started chatting with him. As the conversation came to an end she kissed the handset before switching it off, she heard him call "Mom."
"Yes what is it?" she asked.
"Thanks for the kiss." he replied.
"Did you like it, do you want me to kiss you?" she asked.
"Will you?" he asked.
"Why, can I not kiss my son?" she replied.
"Yes you can but. . . ." he did not complete.
"But what?" she asked.
"Nothing Mom," he said as his Mom kissed the handset again "It's not that Mom," he said.
"I know it's not that, come home." Saying it she switched off.
"Come home," those words kept tormenting Dileep. Will she kiss me he wondered? Even if she kisses me it would be on my cheeks. How can I ask her?
Dileep had a tough time staying put at office and as the clock struck 6 he went home.
Reaching home he felt numb when he faced his mother and just to start the conversation he asked. "Shall we go out for dinner?"
"No, have a wash I will get some something for you," saying it she went in.
After having snacks Megha joined Dileep on the sofa. For some time they watched a serial and as Ads started Dileep switched the channel. There was breaking news with an earth quake hitting some city. It aired photos of collapsed buildings and corpses lying all around. Seeing the pathetic scenes his mother moved closer and encircling her hand around his waist snuggled up. By instinct Dileep placed a hand over her shoulder and drew her closer. Placing her head on his shoulder Megha watched the scenes unfolding before her.
They watched the news for some time and Dileep was delighted to stay put in that position. Dileep felt the warmth of her body as well as her strong body aroma. As he was enjoying suddenly he felt his mother peck a kiss on his cheek and as he turned to face her she said. "That was for being so nice to me."
"What did I do?" he asked.
"You don't know what you have done," saying it she kissed him again on his cheek.
"Had I known I would be so rewarded I could have done more," he replied with some courage.
"For a kiss!" asked his mother.
"Yes for a kiss but not where you kissed."
"Then where?" she asked hiding her smile.
Looking straight into her eyes "here," he said touching his lips.
"You want me to kiss you, on your lips?" she spilled those words silently.
"Yes, I have been looking forward for it for so long." He replied softly.
"Then why did you not ask for it?" she asked.
"How could I? I did not know how you would react," he replied.
"Now what made you ask?" she enquired.
"It was a chance I took and I am lucky enough to succeed," he said.
"But I did not say that I would kiss you."
"Not in so many words but your actions did." he replied.
"What actions, where did I slip?" she asked.
"Morning while you were knotting my tie, I saw your lips move as if you wanted to kiss and also for the fact you smooched the handset every time you spoke to me."
"You are a keen observer. What else did you observe?" she asked.
"I will tell you when the time comes," he replied gaining confidence.
"So you have been observing a lot?" she asked.
"No Mom, it's not that," he replied blushingly.
"SShhh, don't say a word, I know." She held his face in both hands bringing her face close she placed her soft lips upon his. At first she kissed him lightly and as his lips trembled she kissed him hard and coming out of the kiss she hid her face on his chest.
It took a few seconds for Dileep to realize that his mother had actually kissed him on his lips and as she nuzzled her face he toyed with her silken hair before pulling her up and kissing her.
Megha was excited on having been kissed and coming out of his hold she said. "I needed that very badly."
"Not as much as me," replied Dileep.
"Then kiss me before I go," saying it she lifted her face up.
Dileep holding her face kissed her and did not let go till his mother slipped out of his arms. As she started to go to her room he asked. "When can I kiss you again, Mom?"
"Next month." she replied.
"Do I have to starve for a whole month?" he asked which made her smile.
"Be a good boy and then we'll see," she replied closing the door of her room.
For the next few days Dileep tried all he could to keep her happy but could not muster enough courage to ask her. On the fourth day as there was a mishap at his office he had to stay back and it was 7.30 when he got a call from her.
"Mom there is a problem at office and I will be coming home late" he said.
"Is anything serious?" she asked.
"Not really, I'll come and tell you when I get home" he said before disconnecting the call.
Megha waited up for him and it was half past eleven when Dileep arrived home He was tired and went straight away to bed. It was Megha who felt sorry for him. At the age when he was supposed to enjoy with his friends chasing girls he was burdened with managing a company and also for the fact that he had devoted what little free time he had to take care of her. She felt it was too much of a burden and she needed to help him out, soothe him and give him some company.
Next day when he was in office she rang him and asked him to come back soon.
"Why Mom?" he asked.
"Feel like going to a movie," she replied.
"Well, I will get the tickets then," saying it he disconnected the call.
Megha dressed up for the movie. She had put on a bright colour sari on a black blouse which complimented her fair complexion. Having tied her hair in a bun her back was left bare to a certain extent. On seeing her come out of the room Dileep whistled at her.
"I am not your girl friend to whistle at," said Megha smilingly.
"Why don't you be one?" he asked.
"Do you want a 42 year old woman to be your girl friend?" she questioned him.
"You are not 42 years old, you are 42 carats and it would be my privilege to have you as my girl friend." he replied.
Megha was delighted to hear the comment. She felt like running and hugging him. Controlling her emotions she walked tall all the way to the movie hall.
Once seated in the hall Dileep nuzzled closer feeling the warmth of her body and basked in its glory. Holding her hand he caressed it lightly and did not leave it till the movie was over. Megha felt as if she was in a dreamland and had never hoped that such a day would come in her life. She was fascinated by the turn of events. She could not have dreamt for a better outing and made it a point to reward him.
After having enjoyed the evening thoroughly two tired bodies slumped on the sofa on reaching home. It was Megha after recovering leaned on her son and toying with his hair she nibbled his ear lobes and as Dileep opened his eyes locked her lips over his and kissed him.
By instinct Dileep put his arms around her and hugged her to his body. Megha squirmed in delight and throwing all caution to the wind she snuggled closer and holding his face in her hands showered kisses all over his face arousing him to the hilt. Taking advantage of the situation Dileep pushed his mother on the sofa and leaning over sucked her lips into his mouth and ravished them. Megha reciprocated his moves by thrusting her tongue inside his mouth and caressing every corner of his mouth.
They continued kissing passionately and Dileep having an advantage slowly started pushing the top of her sari which was already dishevelled. Having pushed aside the sari he slowly brought his hand down and started caressing her neckline. He was dying to have a look at the exposed part but as their lips were locked he could not lift his face. It was then he moved his hand on the nape of her neck and caressing it as his hand slipped further down Megha felt it.
Feeling it just above her breasts Megha shivered and not wanting him to continue she moved out of his grasp and holding the loosened sari to her body she stood up.
As Megha stood up Dileep nodding his head, indicated her to come forward but Megha shook hers. Then as he extended his hand to catch her she moved out of his reach. Finally as his eyes pleaded she made a mocking face at him.
Encouraged a bit he asked "why don't you let it fall?"
"What?" she asked softly.
"The part of sari which you are holding." he said.
"Why?" she asked seductively.
"Because I have worked hard in removing it from its place," he replied.
"So?"
"Ought not I be rewarded." he said.
"Yes, I will reward you but for a different cause." As she said this, slowly she let the top of her sari fall and stood exposing her blouse clad breasts and naked waist.
Dileep eyes took in all that was exposed to him. He was enchanted when he saw his mother's black blouse stacked with her robust breasts and as his eyes wandered down he was rewarded with a sight to die for as her vast waist line was exposed which showed the upheaval of her waist and also the hollow where her belly button was. The sight was spell binding. Dileep stood up only to see his mother turn and canter to her room. Running away Megha had forgotten that the sari which she had let fall was trailing behind and by the time she reached the door it had totally slipped off her body exposing the light coloured petticoat which showed off her mounds perfectly.
That was what Dileep's eyes had captured last before his mother entered her room. Moving forward he picked up the sari and after inhaling its aroma placed it on the chair which was observed by his mother through the key hole.
Having watched her son's action Megha stood in front of the mirror to access how much she had exposed unintentionally and as she turned sideways to inspect she felt a strong current pass through her body on seeing the impressions of her buttocks ensconced in the light material of her slip.
Lying on her bed she recapped all the sequences and debated them in her mind. Finding no fault with her son she reprimanded herself for her behaviour. She felt she was at fault for allowing her son to ogle at her. Moreover she felt that she had gone a bit far while she ought to have controlled herself. These thoughts tormented her. After all he was her son and it was her duty to control him. She thought of talking to her friend and suddenly recalled that she had gone abroad.
With no one to guide her she took to the route where in her body won over her mind. Thinking of what other boys of his age would have done, she felt she could control him and not let things go awry.
On the other side Dileep felt elated. The scene that his eyes had devoured was implanted in his mind and recalling it over and over he felt elated. He could not have asked for more.
Next morning was a bit tense for both of them. They stayed aloof and Dileep after having breakfast left for work. The same pattern prevailed for another day and on the third day as Dileep was about to depart Megha stalled him and adjusting his tie said, "Can you not tie it properly?"
"Why should I when you are there to help me?" he replied.
"You are past that age my boy," she said casually.
"I wish I wasn't," he replied.
"Why?" she asked setting his tie.
"As you grow up you tend to lose a lot. You drift apart and that closeness is lost." He replied.
"In other words you want me to be close; is that what you mean?" she asked kissing him on his cheek.
"Yes I always want you to be close," he replied.
Hugging him she asked. "When did you feel that I was not close?"
Holding her shoulder he said. "So far I have not."
"And you never will." With that she hugged him before moving out.
Dileep heaved a sigh of relief. It had taken a lot of home work to bring her back on tracks. Having reached the office he rang her up and when she answered. "Are you free to go out with your boy friend?"
"Yes, if he takes me out for dinner," she replied.
"Can you suggest a good place?" he asked.
"Whichever my boy fancies," she replied.
"Fine, can I suggest something?" he asked.
"Yes what is it?"
"Shall we will go dancing afterwards," he said casually.
"Do you think your 42 carat girl friend can dance?" she asked.
Hearing it he said. "I can teach you."
"Then teach me at home."Saying it she switched off her mobile.
Ringing her again he said. "You didn't kiss me."
"For that you have to come home." she said and wondered what all excuses men make.
Dileep took his Mom to a five star restaurant. On entering Megha felt a couple of eyes peering at her and feeling elated she held her son's hand and leaned on him. Dileep was fascinated by her move and taking advantage he took her around the hotel lobby, ball room, swimming pool and other places enjoying every moment of being close to her.
After having dinner as they left Dileep slipping his arm around her waist escorted her to the parking lot caressing her waist softly and when they reached the car he was surprised when his mother kissed him. Sitting beside her, as he looked up, she said. "It was for that wonderful evening."
"It came as a big surprise Mom," he said.
"Why?" she asked quizzically.
"For having kissed me in front of all those people," he replied.
"Did you not see what others were doing?" she asked.
"Yes, they were . . . . . . "he did not complete as he heard her say. "Can I not kiss my boy friend?"
"Yes, you can kiss your boy friend and also dance with him," he replied.
"Are you sure she will dance?" her eyes questioned him.
"Yes it was decided." he said with authority.
"So you are keen to teach your girl friend dance, why?" she asked.
"Coz I like dancing," he replied.
"With your girl friend?" she asked.
He wanted to say with Mom but changing "Yes," he replied.
"A 42 carat girl friend," she asked as she stopped at a signal.
"Yes a gorgeous 42 carat girl friend." Saying it he leaned forward and kissed her.
"I was hoping you would kiss me at the hotel," she said.
"I wanted to but could not muster enough courage," he replied.
"What made you do it now?" she asked.
"I have gained confidence after you kissed me in the parking lot," he replied.
"Is it not a guy who usually kisses his girl friend first?" she asked.
"Yes, but who said I kissed my girl friend?" he replied looking at her.
Megha's body trembled on hearing those words, holding on to the steering. "Whom did you kiss?" she asked softly.
"I kissed my mother," he said looking straight into her eyes.
Those words sent warm waves up her body and unable to look at him but wanting to continue the chat she asked. "Why me?"
"Coz you are the most beautiful woman," he said.
"If you think you will be rewarded for that, forget it."
"Truth always prevails Mom," he replied.
"What has made you feel so confident?" she asked smilingly.
"On being kissed in the parking lot."
"Yes, you have a point there and did I do anything else to boost your confidence?" she asked.
"All that you have been doing, adds to my confidence," he replied.
"You seem to be observing a lot, but still can you name one particular instance?" she asked.
"Yes and what you are doing right now is one example," he said sliding closer.
"What have I done now?" she asked seeing him snuggling up.
Getting closer and grasping her shoulder. "You have hit the dirt road instead of going home."
"Oh! That's because I need some fresh air." she replied.
Sneaking closer he said. "Fresh air's fine, but for that you don't have to drive through rough terrain."
"Then why do think I took this route?" she asked very softly.
"For some excitement, for some privacy I suppose," he replied helping her to manoeuvre the curve.
"Yes, you are right and this is exciting," she said allowing him to hold her firmly as she climbed the small hillock and on reaching the top "this is it." she said shutting off the motor.
"Yes, this place is isolated," said Dileep pulling his mother in his arms.
Cozying up in his arms she asked. "Why did you pull me?"
"Felt like having your warm body in my arms," he replied.
"Have you not had any woman in your arms before?" she asked as she felt his arms tighten around her.
"When do you think I had time for that," he replied brushing aside the loose hair from her face.
"Yes you had not. If you had whom would you have had in your arms?" she asked planting a kiss on his forehead.
"None other than you," he replied.
"Why me?" she asked hiding her face on his chest.
"Because you are the most sensuous woman I have known." He said as he bit her ear.
"Does one treat a woman like that?" she asked.
"What can I do if she hides her face," he replied.
Feeling shy she replied. "Women don't fall prey so easily, one has to coax them."
"Coaxing is what I have been doing isn't it?" he asked lifting her face.
"Yes you have done a lot," saying it first she brushed her lips on his forehead and then cupping his face kissed his lips hard.
Dileep was thrilled to have been kissed. Toying with her hair and kissing her back. "It's so exciting to kiss your lips Mom," he said.
"What's so exciting in kissing an old woman? You ought to have some young girl friend," she said.
"No girl however young would bring such excitement Mom," as he said it he slowly pulled down the sari covering her bosom and exposing her breasts draped in the blouse he said. "This is what I have been longing to see."
"What's there that you haven't seen?" she asked as she felt her breasts heave inside the blouse due to her deep breathing.
"It's not what's there but it's whose that matters," he replied staring at the bulge of her breasts left uncovered by her blouse.
Hearing those words a hot wave shot through her body "Whose is it?" she asked excitedly.
"It's of a woman who I admire most and for the relation we have, believe me it's very exciting as it is very difficult to reach the point where I have reached," he said placing his hand on the exposed part of her breast.
"Don't you think it is forbidden?" she asked feeling his hand gaining ground.
"We have done nothing to say it's forbidden and moreover the subject can be debated," he said as his hand sailed inside her blouse.
"You seem to have mastered the subject," she said as she felt her body tremble on feeling his hand right at the top of her breast.
"No, I have not but circumstances have enriched me." He said cupping her breast.
"Yes you are a very thoughtful person and I see no harm coming from your side." she said enjoying the warmth of his hand squeezing her breast.
"I am not only thoughtful but also a skilful person," he said as he unhooked the top two hooks of her blouse.
"It's quite obvious how skilful you are. You need not show your skills now," she said as hot waves crept over her body.
"If I don't use them to my advantage then what's the use of being skilful," he replied as he unhooked the last hook.
"But limit your skills as you have gained a lot of ground," she replied and when he pushed aside the flaps of her blouse and denuded her breasts to a large extent. "Have you not crossed the limit?" she asked on the verge of having an orgasm.
Staring at her voluptuous breasts stacked behind the small black lacy bra. "They are absolutely beautiful Mom," he said and as he placed his lips between the valley and kissed them, Megha felt her body tremble and holding hard the upholstery "Dileep," she screamed when his warm wet lips dipped further down her cleavage.
Hearing her scream his name and seeing her body trembling, Dileep mustered enough courage and manoeuvring his face to the right he pushed the bra down with his chin and engulfed her naked breast in his mouth.
Megha's body trembled on this assault, crisscrossing her legs and biting her lips hard she once again screamed as a stream ran out of her on having Dileep suck her breast.
Regaining her composure she pulled Dileep up and showering kisses over his face. "Don't you feel we should leave now?" she asked.
"Yes Mom," he replied very courteously.
Tidying up she took a U turn and drove very cautiously, all the time thinking how lucky she was to have such an obedient son. Recalling the conversation they had she felt there was no harm in rewarding him a little as at any time of the game she could put a stop to it. With these thoughts she entered the house and before she could go to her room she stood her ground as Dileep caught hold of her hand.
Turning slowly she placed her arms over his shoulders and leaning forward kissed him hard on his mouth, sucking his lips, ravaging them and before Dileep could realize what was happening she moved out of his arms saying "I am tired." Once in her room she felt she should slow down the game she was playing at.
Dileep felt like he was on the moon: such was the impact of the kiss. Thinking many such kisses are his to be had he went up to his abode?
Next morning having overslept Dileep rushed to his office and after looking into the day's proceedings he reclined on the chair before he rang his mother.
Picking up the phone "whom do you want to speak, your girl friend or someone else?" she teased.
"I want to speak to my 42 carat Mom," he replied.
"May I know why you want to speak to her when you ought to be working?" she asked.
"It is only after finishing my work I have rung and as the matter is of most importance I do need to speak to her." he said.
"May I know what it is so important that you want to speak to her?" she asked.
"I want to thank her," he replied.
"Why, what did she do, gave you enough pocket money?" She asked.
"She gave me something which money cannot buy," he replied.
"What's it that money cannot buy?" she asked mildly.
"It was a kiss so passionate, so exciting, so provocative that had she continued to kiss for few more seconds then it would have had the same result like it happened to her yesterday," he replied.
"Why, what happened to me yesterday?" she asked.
"The last kiss don't you remember it?" he asked.
Feeling her body warming up to his chat "what kiss, what are you talking about?" she asked.
"The kiss I planted on your voluptuous mounds made it possible, didn't it?" he asked.
Excited by his word, "How could do you have known it?" she asked.
"The way you reacted, the way your body trembled and the way you screamed my name when I had your breast in my mouth, all added to it," he said with authority.
"You dirty fellow, is it how you talk to a woman?" she asked.
"I was just describing what happened and had I seen what my lips where sucking on then I would have painted a different picture," he replied.
"You are a filthy person. Tell me why you could not see what your so called lips where doing?" she asked as her body started warming up.
"I could not see as it was dark and also for the fact that my face was obstructing the view." he said.
"It serves you right," she said.
"Don't I get a chance to see them again?" he asked.
"Not even in your dreams," she replied smilingly.
"Why should I dream when one scene is etched in my brain," he replied.
"Which scene?" she asked.
"The one when I undid your blouse and saw the most provocative pair of breasts juggling behind the tiny black bra," he said.
"Why do you call it tiny?" she asked.
"Because they could hardly contain your breasts," he said.
"When your eyes have seen so much what more is there to see?" she asked.
"If there is nothing more to see then why you are hiding them?" he replied.
"That's a good question. Because I think what you want to see is forbidden."
"Even Adam tasted a forbidden fruit."
"May be he thought it was too sweet," she said.
"It could not be sweeter than what you are hiding," he replied.
"So?" She waited for his response.
"So it's my privilege to have a look at them."
"Are you not ashamed to see those?" she asked.
"On the contrary I would be fortunate if you would allow me," he replied.
"I don't think I can do what you did."
"What did I do?" he asked.
"Are you not ashamed to ask me, did you not open my blouse? I can't do that." she said loudly.
"Who asked you to do it? That would be my pleasure," he said.
"You insane men, I don't know what all you would do to derive pleasure," she said.
"Why do you blame us poor people? You possess such charm which makes us go on our knees," he replied.
"There is no point in talking to you. When are you coming home?" she asked.
"Will be late, don't wait for dinner." with that he cut the call.
"Poor guy" thought Megha and tried to recollect when he had taken time to go on a holiday or enjoy with friends, but could find none.
It was well after 9 pm when Dileep eventually reached home and not finding his mother went up to the balcony to see her sitting on the settee gazing at the sky.
Sitting beside her he said. "This is quite refreshing."
Turning to face him "Your job must be very taxing," she said.
"Not always," he replied seeing her concerned.
"Why don't you take leave or go on a vacation."
"Where shall I go and with whom shall I go?" he asked.
"Why, you can go any place and with whomsoever you want," she said poking her finger at his waist.
"What if I say, sitting here along with you is more relaxing."
"Are you saying it to please me?" she asked.
"No I would consider myself lucky if I could sit beside you and spend the night chatting," he replied looking into her eyes.
"And miss going to office the next day?" she replied ruffling his hair.
"Not at all, tomorrow happens to be Sunday."
"Oh! Since I stopped going to office I have lost count of days."
"Any regrets," he asked moving closer.
"No, I have not had such happiness before and all this is because of you," she replied.
"You are one gorgeous woman that I want to be happy forever," he replied.
