I sensed that on my right Mr. Sen holding wineglass was not aware of that couple in his right front but he was becoming a bit impatient. He turned to me and again asked, " We were talking that...could they reach to any specific solution for Reddi ji's wife and daughter?"

Although he spoke quite normally but we were out of audible range of others, besides that every one was occupied with other.

I said slowly, " I think your wife and my mother would go to Bombay and again talk to his wife to live with him."

"But how could she come, she thinks he would tear her in two parts...and that was the problem." He said.

"Perhaps there would be an arrangement." I said.

"With your wife to remain with him say for a day or two in a week. That is what my wife was up for him..." He asked.

After a longer silence I said slowly," That's she suggested."

"And what your mother says, "He said," and your wife?"

"I think they are sympathetic to him as you might have seen... My mother thinks we should go for it only after his wife agrees for that adjustment. She doesn't want to play with any one. " I said.

He said opening his mind better, "...I know that, after Reddi ji fell for your wife my wife convinced your mother a lot, and she appeared to have some consent provided you agreed, but you see..."

He thought a while and spoke taking extra precaution, " Look! I am not averse to that if his organs do not scare your wife... or it may be again same story. His servants heard her painful cries all nights... she used to remain almost on bed all through following days... She says he became beastly when she expressed her inability to lay on bed with him any further. "

He again spoke after a brief silence, "Surprisingly my wife not seeing that being a lady herself."

He spoke after some more silence, " I am afraid that if he shatters your wife in the same way, it would tear all our export plans... the board wants... "

That was a new angle of real concern, I had not thought. I was more worried about my wife's safety," But is it not what you wished? Sir."

He said thoughtfully," I never meant to make any further mess...it could have been done in restrictions... I told my wife but she seems to..."

"Tell me sir." I said.

"Let me say that your papers are to be mooted to management by tomorrow... before he...! "

I didn't see that but probably movements of Mrs. Sen for drinks refill had made Reddi ji to resume telling her further finer points and now they were sitting upright expect some of her bosom was still uncovered by duppata. But that resumption looked temporary to me just a mock.

Sen turned to me and said, " Your wife appears quite interested in bonsai and I think Reddi ji would be tempted to take her to terrace garden to show the collection."

He continued, as I too could not ignore the possibility, "That is the point where we should be safe..."

I said, "Please say."

Mr. Sen spoke after a pause of few moments, " I think now days Reddi ji is feeling extremely horny particularly after seeing your wife. I know he has surely not touched any woman in three years. He may be crazily allured in aloneness with your lady..."

He further said, "...I think if she proves frangible for him and... " He said after taking a long sip from his wineglass,"...and she refuses him... That my evoke natural brutality in him."

He spoke again, "... she would be sentimentally scared and may develop unfriendly attitudes for any such horny male we are likely to meet in business." This really made me scared.

He said again, " I think this would be first time and you should go up with them...but..." He said after holding a bit, " let me say... there may also be another angle..."

He hesitated but I said him to please speak.

He spoke, " Let them go alone and you remain out of their site just as a precaution...we may break in there in any unpleasant scene... that would also give us an idea of your wife's inclinations, we were talking about for exports links!"

Although it was shrewd but I appreciated that in present situation and nodded.

I said, " I think that would be safe...if there is any way for that?"

He glanced at the couple still engaged in bonsai activities and said sipping small quantity from his liquor glass, " The bonsai garden at terrace is just above us. In fact it was a big flat roof with one room for junk at back end of it. The room has spiral iron stairs for it in courtyard."

He continued, " Six months back my wife and Reddi ji made a covered greenhouse on roof in front of that room. They have made a bonsai square there. This garden has assess from a new staircase in wire netted verandah you passed through while you came."

I was getting him sharper than ever and nodded as he paused to make another sip and ripped some flesh fibers from roasted leg.

He spoke slowly, " You can reach to the room at back from courtyard and remain there unnoticed in dark. It has windows opening in green house."

That was the one of the bright ideas he was giving me.

We took more wine with dry fruit as he said, " It is better if you go and see that room in some light..."

I vaguely saw at the bonsai couple at my right front. Reddi ji leaning on side arm was lightly stroking her bangle filled arms resting on her lap.

I stood following Mr. Sen and quickly came to his right and made a cover to bonsai couple for the sake of my shame.

Mrs. Sen looked at us as he told her that I needed to use bathroom and wanted little fresh up. He was taking me inside.

Passing through the gallery we came to inner verandah and then to a large courtyard. I saw the iron round at right corner towards verandah. Leaving Sen there I quickly climbed and reached at the piece of roof before the room. I opened the door and switched on the light. A very low watt bulb lighted the room and I went in.

It was a medium sized room used for junk articles from old trunks to stray furniture and blunt tools. There were two aging and un-cared windows and a door at right end in front wall. Each window had six glass panes in wooden shutters and old curtains were hanging over them from nails carelessly driven in the wall.

Window opened on inner side. I unbolted the middle one and opened that.

There were pink plastic curtains with many folds that hanged on the other side of windows. I folded that on one side and I saw green hose but it was almost dark in the rays of that dead light. However I could feel that it was magnificent. It had a series of miniature plants kept on wooden bench like frames. There was whiteness towards outer side. Just before the window there was a beautiful swing chair hanged on some pipe.

I peeped through window glass and that would give me good view of lighted green house but ita would not permit any sound to pass through. I opened it again lifting an iron rod from junk lightly hammered the rod tip on glass inwards and punched a scattered 3-inch hole in glass at the point that was hidden by a plant on other side. Then I dragged an old junk chair to window and set it properly. There after setting the plastic curtains with stray slits in their folds I closed the window and bolted from inside.

I came out switching off the light and closed the door. Sen was waiting in courtyard.

Sen told me to move to living room and he would follow me after some fresh up.

I came back to living room with out giving any alert and stood at gallery. All four sat on sofa had back at me.

Mrs. Sen was showing my mother an interior decoration magazine.

I looked at the couple but could only see Reddi ji, as Ruchi was not visible due to high back of sofa. He was leaning on the arm of his cushioned single seater and probably was resting his head on Ruchi's shoulders. His both arms were extended to her and movements suggested that they were playing with her beauty.

I swiftly walked to my place not looking directly at them and I saw his fingers passing over the side of her lips, which she had parted and had one of his fingers inside her mouth.

He had twisted his left hand and that was kept on her kurta over her bust. My wife had placed her hand over his; it seemed she was restraining his hand. In a few second my cock got as hard as a crow bar.(TO BE CONTINUED)
