Raj woke up first next morning. Both of them had fallen asleep on the sofa close and cuddled together. For a moment he couldnt remember why he was feeling so happy, then he opened his eyes and felt Trisha's soft hair. Trisha had started waking up, but then rested her head on his chest again. They sat their together for a few minutes, silently not thinking of anything but yesterday's lovely moments.
Finally, Raj asked Trisha, "Chaahaa?" (Do you want Tea?)
"Chalel" Trisha replied.
He tried getting up but was pulled down again by Trisha, who started kissing him deeply again. Raj followed her lips for sometime, but then pulled off and said
"Hey, I dont feel comfortable kissing without brushing my teeth."
"Ok" said Trisha reluctantly.
Both of them got up and brushed their teeth (Raj had an extra travel kit with him and gave Trisha a brush).
"C'mon quickly drink up the tea and go home." said Raj, bringing two cups of tea.
"Am I a whore? Using me for the night and then telling me to get out......" said Trisha with an innocent look on her face.
"I'm not joking. The maid will come in sometime and she will tell all the members of the society that I had a girl over at night. They will then ask me to leave the society as it is not allowed to have girls for the night over. As it is lot of the members were against me staying here. Nobody wants to have bachelors in the society." said Raj.
"Wont the watchman tell?" said Trisha.
"No. Because Ive bribed him." said Raj.
"So bribe the maid as well" said Trisha smiling.
"Cant do, cant trust women.....maids, I mean" said Raj quickly moving on to 'maids' from 'women'
Trisha got dressed and prepared to leave.
"Today is saturday. Can we meet in the evening?" asked Raj.
"Hmm....let me see. I will give you a call." said Trisha.
"Ok." said Raj. But he'd expected that Trisha will say yes quickly and eagerly.
Trisha looked into his eyes for a minute and gave him a quick kiss. Raj wouldve lost himself in a liplock once again, but held back. He didnt want to appear like a despot.
When she left, Raj just sat on the sofa - thinking about Trisha, the moments that they had last night, her beautiful voice, her lovely soft hair and her smell which still lingered on - or so he thought.
The bell rang and Raj opened the door. The maid got in and went to the kitchen to do the dishes.
"Kaal mitra alele kaa saheb?" the maid called out to Raj.
"Ho. Aleli....alele..." Raj caught himself quickly.
"Nai bhaandi jast distayt tyaa mule...vicharla" the maid said.
Raj was just hoping that none of the cups, which Trisha drank from had any lipstick marks on it. Maids tend to be real sharp when it comes to observing things and drawing the most extreme conclusions from it !! Raj went inside the kitchen hoping to check that the maid wasnt noticing anything unusual. He started making tea and kept glancing every now and then towards the sink where the washing was being done. But he need not have worried. There were no lipstick marks on any of the glasses or any other vessels either.
"Guess we kissed each other so much that I licked all of Trisha's lipstick. It might stain something else, but thankfully has'nt stained the glasses or other vessels. Thank God !!"
Just then, the maid called out cheekily "Tumcha mitra kaanat earring ghalto kaa kai....hahahaha"
The maid had started sweeping the floor of the living room and had picked up an earring from under the teapoy.
Raj rushed out and quickly snatched the earring from her and said rather stupidly but in an angry tone, "Nai nai....toh nai ghalat...earring...." On top of that, it was a very 'girly' kind of earring. So in a way, it was good that he'd said no, even without thinking!!
"Barra.....mag?" the maid egged him on, grinningly.
"Mag kay? kaam kara tumcha....mitrachich asel tyaala vicharto...tyaani bahinilaa dyayla anli asel" Raj said.
"Thik aahe....chidtay kashala....vichara....mala kay......mi kaam kartech aahe..." the maid replied, miffed at having spoken to, like that by a boy who was probably 10-15 years younger to her.
Raj pretended calling his friend and spoke in deliberate loud tones so that the maid would hear.
"Ok ok....deto mee tula anun tujhya bahinicha gift aaj sandhyakali" he spoke loudly.
After that, the maid didnt speak a word. As she was leaving, Raj was relieved. Finally the spy was going out now !!
As she approached the door, the maid said, "Yete saheb udya. By the way....doosri earring aahe naa tyacha kade?"
"Kay?" Raj asked confused.
"Ekach ring sapadli naa ikde - doosri mitra kade aselach naa?" the maid said....a hint of an 'evil' smile on her face.
"Hhhho ho asel asel" Raj replied in a terrified voice.
The maid shook her head while leaving and Raj started wondering how much had the maid guessed? Had she seen Trisha downstairs, perhaps looking kind of dishvelled from all the sex and cozy sessions they had on the previous night? Had she smelled a lady's perfume in his house? Had she seen lipstick marks on his face? He wiped his face instinctively and quickly All sorts of thoughts came to his mind....would the maid report to the ladies in the society? Would they throw him out of the house for bringing a girl in the house and fucking her at night?
To distract himself, he turned on the TV. The movie Anarkali was being telecast
Pyaar kiya toh darna kyaa jab pyaar kiya toh darna kyaa....pyaar kiya koi chori nahi ki....pyaaarrr kiyaaa...
"WTF, there couldnt have been a more apt song for the moment !!" Raj thought and he shut down the TV
