My Rupali didi and her sasur ji in village haveli :
My Rupali didi was breasfeeding her doughter arushi in her bedroom.It was middle of the night. I was sleeping in the bedroom next to the sasurji.
At what point my Rupali didi fell asleep she did not know but she awoke suddenly. Two or three deafening sounds, that of lightning, had awoken her. It could rain any moment, for she could feel the howling winds. Unseasonal rains would mean a further fall in temperature, my sister was alarmed. The lightning awoke arushi too, who started to cry out loudly. No matter how much my Rupali didi patted her, she went on wailing as the crackling sounds continued unabated. She too was scared, just like she always did since childhood. She wished someone could have stayed in her room.
At that instant she heard a knock on the partition door, softly at first but then more urgently. Soon Babuji's voice could be heard.
"Bahu, Bahu! What happened? Why is Arushi crying so much? Please tell me. Please open the door ... I am worried," Thakur sahab( Sasurji) was imploring her to speak.
I was awake in my room and listening the activities going in the house.
My Rupali didi quickly got up from bed but in her hurry, she forgot to put any cover over her nightie. The skimpy nightie was hardly anything to hide her very sexy and desirable body, not to mention her very appealing breasts. She just came and opened the door.
"I think she woke up because of the lightning," Rupali didi said softly.
"No, I think she may be hungry. Won't you feed her now Bahu?" he asked.
Rupali didi hadn't been able to say this and so had said about the lightning. But she too knew that the child would not stop till she had her nipples in her mouth.
"Feed her Bahu, she is hungry," the father-in-law insisted. He was looking at Rupali didi's breasts and she blushed and quickly turned so that the breasts were out of his sight.
"Yes Babuji," whispered Rupali didi.
Just then heavy gusts of wind started blowing and a window pane flung open. Lightning crackled repeatedly.
"I am so scared Babuji," Rupali didi said honestly.
"This is just lightning. Don't be afraid. But if you are so scared ... you keep the partition door open, so you will at least feel someone is nearby. Will that be ok?" Thakur sahab asked.
Rupali didi thought for a while before she nodded her head.
My Rupali didi was no longer wearing a duppata across her breasts and to Thakur sahab she looked like a beautiful goddess, a desirous woman with a child in her arms, her hair somewhat ruffled giving her a sensual aura that Sasurji found difficult to look away from. He was now very close to his daughter-in-law.
He could inhale a fragrance that fired his loins and he kept looking at her unkempt hair, her disarrayed nightie which gave glimpses of her ample and alluring breasts, her soft smooth skin undulating from her face till the top of her nightie and all that could tempt any man, not just Thakur sahab himself.
Thakur sahab stood there mesmerized at what he saw, forgetting that it was improper of him to do so. He turned his face away and instinctively tried to pacify his granddoughter. But his eyes flickered and traversed from granddoughter to bahu.
"Bahu..."he said at last.
"Jee Babuji"
"Arushi is hungry..."
Rupali didi looked up to Thakur sahab, not sure how to answer to the patriarch.
"Babuji.." She paused. Her shyness barring her from speaking out.
Thakur sahab's rough fingers continued to stroke his Arushi. The child's cries simmered down a notch.
"I can tell that she is hungry." Sasurji was adamant.
"But babuji... I..I fed her a little while ago," Rupali didi tried to convince her father-in-law.
"Then why is she crying?" Exasperation seemed to coat his words.
"Babuji.. It must be this lightning. she started crying when it began," Rupali didi tried to explain.
Meanwhile the rain was still pelting, but the thunder had calmed down a little.
"Possible..but you should know that little ones have a small stomach and they get hungry very quickly. I hope that you feed her often enough," Thakur sahab went on.
This talk about feeding was embarrassing my sister. But she stayed put where she was.
One, for he was comforting her doughter and two, she did not dare move away without taking permission or being asked to move.
"Babuji... I do. she always cries out aloud when she is hungry."
A sudden bolt of lightning lit up the room for a second, quickly followed by a loud thunder. Thakur sahab heard her shriek before the scared bahu almost fell into his chest. Arushi started crying aloud once again, afraid. Thakur sahab opened his arms and engulfed both his bahu and the child in his arms, giving them comfort and protection. Rupali didi dug her face into Sasurji's wide chest while the recurrent thunder continued. Arushi too found comfort, and her wailing subsided.
They just stood there, a step or two inside Rupali didi's room, waiting for the thunder to pass and Arushi to calm down.
"Bahu..." he whispered, the two bodies still pressed together, and Arushi wedged in safety.
"Babuji?" he heard his bahu's soft voice.
"Are you okay?"
There was a cackle of thunder again.
"I am afraid ...I am scared, Babuji."
"Don't be. I am here" He said emphatically, trying to assure her that he was there to take care of her as well his granddoughter.
She nodded. She was feeling safe in his arms. The man she had felt so alien even a couple of days back was now so close to her and providing everything she needed. Her comfort, safety and security.
"I am not sure that I will be able to sleep alone in this weather," The urgency in those words did not escape Babuji.
Thakur sahab held them close to himself. His arms could feel her soft body. The sides of her breasts squeezed into his chest. What if her nipples rested on his chest? He quickly brushed the thought away. Yet, the feeling of her soft touches was soothing and gave him pleasure. He wanted this to continue for some more time.
Sasurji's thoughts wavered. Was it right? She was his bahu and it was his duty to protect her dignity and moral integrity. He was her guardian. And the need of the hour was to provide her with comfort.
"You do not have to be afraid bahu. You can be with me. And this baby, she is my granddoughter, my own blood, she should sleep in my room too," Thakur sahab said.
She peered up and her eyes gazed at him questioningly. Possibly, she hadn't expected this offer from her father-in-law.
"Babuji.. But...?" Rupali didi said hesitatingly.
"Bahu.." He looked at her sternly. Just a single word and eyes of admonishment was enough.
"Yes. Babuji". She nodded acceptance. .
"Come .." he said firmly. And, with an arm still around his bahu and the child within the other arm, he slowly walked her to his king size bed. The roar of thunder continued unabated. Yet, Arushi for some strange reason was somewhat quiet now.
All this time their bodies remained touching each other. The flimsy nightie providing little separation as did the kurta that Thakur sahab was wearing. Unknown to her, her touch had created a pronounced erection under his dhoti. Thakur sahab was acutely aware and tried to distance his body in a manner that would him to avoid contact. He hoped that she would remain unaware of what he was going through his mind and body.
With the child sleeping in the middle of the bed, Vijay Thakur lay down beside her and, advising my sister to sleep on the other side of the child, he closed his eyes. Gradually the weather improved, and the thunder slowly died down. Silence returned. It had been a long day for all of them and soon they all fell asleep.
I was standing at the open window to see then sleeping in Sasurji bedroom on his bed. it gave me strange feeling.
Sasurji awoke when he heard Arushi's soft cry. Thakur shahab always a light sleeper, was quickly awake.
"Bahu..." he called out. Rupali didi who seemed to be in deep sleep barely moved. His own eyes were roaming elsewhere till they were glued on to the rounded mounds pushing against Rupali didi's nightie. The taut nipples of his bahu stood out haughtily and Thakur shahab feasted on them for some time. I was afraid that he might be going to touch my sister huge melons but he didnt.
He waited for some more time, continuing to feast his eyes on her bosom and face and those amorous lips. Oh god! Oh god! If only he could bend down and kiss those pairs.
But Arushi cried again. Her mother had to be awakened immediately.Thakur sahab give her a light touch on her arm once more, hesitantly. Then followed that up by shaking her twice on the arm.
"Bahu... Bahu... ," Sasur ji said with a loudly before he saw her open her eyes.
"Arushi is hungry," he informed.
The patriarch repeated, his voice almost hoarse, "Feed her now Bahu. ..don't delay...she's crying so much because she is hungry." It seemed that he was hungry himself!
Rupali didi looked at the patriarch and then at her hungry baby. She had to feed her baby. But she simply couldn't feed the baby in that room, in front of Babuji. She blushed, her cheeks crimson on her fair skin. She fumbled for words as she got up from bed and stretched her hands to pick up Arushi.
"Babuji... shshh ..should I ...I g ggo to the other room?" she stammered, wondering if Babuji would excuse himself to save her from embarrassment.
There was a stern look from the man which Rupali didi could only interpret as an instant disapproval. But his words were still very comforting and caring.
"No Bahu, you feed Arushi here, on the bed. Don't feel shy. You are a mother who is going to feed her baby and that's natural. Come, sit on the bed and take the baby on your lap," her father-in-law said. He had stretched his hand to hold Rupali didi's hand and pulled her softly on to the bed.
