Do you remember the Sharmas? Okay, you might not. Bu do you remember Rachna? No? Well, she was the first girl with whom I had sex! Remember? Yeah? Good!
I met Rachna’s father during one of my business meetings. He had recently retired and was now working for a private company. He could not recognize me, but I did and introduced myself. He was indeed very happy to see me. He congratulated me on establishing such a ‘big’ enterprise and then one thing led to another, we soon started to talk about my personal life. I told him about Dad’s death (I did not mention Ma’s remarriage and her motherhood, and current, second pregnancy), and my own struggle with fate.
He gave me his sincere condolences and then congratulated me on having a daughter. We kept talking for a long time over dinner after the meeting. During the course of the dinner, he sneaked in the information that Rachna was recently single, after her divorce from her husband. Like me, she too had a daughter, who was a couple of years older than my Abha. He knew that Rachna and I were childhood friends and that Ma liked her very much. I am sure that he must have been desperate t get her married again, and when he saw me, and when he saw me doing this well, he thought that he could suggest me to think about marrying again.
“Why don’t you consider marrying again? I mean, please don’t get me wrong. I know your wives must have had very high place in your heart. But you have remarried once before… that is why I am suggesting you consider it again…”
He waited for the effect to take place.
“My Rachna… well, she is divorced… for the past five years. She was innocent party in that divorce… he was a drunkard. He wasted money and did not look after his wife and child. You two have known each other… if you like, why not meet her?”
“Uncle ji, are you sure about this? I seem to bring bad luck to my wives!”
“Nonsense! It is you who is suffering the bad luck. What happened to them was not your fault. It is fate’s fault. You can not blame yourself for that…”
He waited. When I did not say anything, he added, “Bhabhi ji (Ma) too liked my Rachna. My wife used to mention that to me. but then you were both children. You were focused on building your career! I am so proud of you for what you have accomplished so far. With a good wife, you can grow and progress even more.”
I smiled.
He thought it was encouraging, “Think about it. Here is my number… and address,” he wrote his address at the back of his card, “if you feel like it, just come for tea or lunch. We will take it up from there.”

I went to meet Rachna the next week after I discussed the matters with Kajal and Ma. Ma was excited to know that I was warming up to the idea of marrying again. Kajal too was super happy because of it.
I went for a dinner. I must be meeting her after seventeen or eighteen years! That is a very long time. So much had changed during this time. The Rachna I had known had been a young girl, who was curious. I was not sure who this Rachna was. But this Rachna was very beautiful! The girl Rachna was nothing in front of the woman Rachna! She had kept herself well and it showed on her. Although, the extra fat on her body showed that she was used to a comfortable life, she particularly took great care of her skin and appearance. She looked youthful. Her smile was radiant and infectious. For our today’s meeting, she wore a saree and blouse. The blouse had a deep neck and even deeper back. The saree itself was very translucent, so it was easy to see her cleavage and a lot of skin! Needless to say, she had dressed to kill… me. And she was indeed successful in that attempt!
One thing indeed came in my mind and that was the fact that Sharmas were very conservative people. Yes, Rachna was a curious girl, but more of her that nature was on display when she was with us. I remember Rachna’s mother insisting on making her dress in conservative manner. So, I was surprised when I saw her dressed in such provocative manner. I met her daughter as well. Her name was Neelima. She was a cute girl and was a couple of years older than my Abha. It might be my mistake, I thought that everyone’s behavior there was a bit artificial towards me… as if everyone was trying to ‘please me’ or ‘impress me’. But I did not think much about it and had a nice conversation with her.
After talking to her for an hour or so, I came to understand that Rachna did not have any dreams. She just wanted to be someone’s wife. As I said, she seemed to be used to of a comfortable life and fulfilling that desire seemed to be a great motivation to be married again. Additionally, I guess the stigma of her divorce was too much to handle for conservative people like the Sharmas. Again, I did not think too much about it at that time.
At that time, I was mostly interested in how beautiful she looked. I think if any woman comes to herself, she can wrap any man around her pinky finger. Men need to be very careful in deciding their life-partner. While mating is a short-time activity, being a husband is a full-time job! That needs to be taken very seriously! But because most women in my life had been only good, I thought that it was a norm for women to be good, rather than an exception! Anyway, let us not discuss the philosophy and let’s proceed with the story.
When finally, we got alone in the guest room for some time, Rachna held my hand and said,
“I still remember our childhood days… do you?”
“How can I forget? You taught me so many things… you were my first!”
“And you mine…” she smiled and added, “if everything had gone well, we could as well have been husband and wife… Auntie ji loved me so much!”
“She did… indeed.”
“How is she anyway?”
“She is well… happy and healthy.” I concealed several vital information. Why I did that, I don’t know.
“Good to know. It is hard to be alone!” she said, with a sigh.
We sat silently for a couple of minutes and then she asked, “How do I look?”
“You look ravishingly beautiful!”
“I am so happy you liked… I did all this for you! I wanted to look good for my Amar!”
“Ha ha! You don’t look good… you look amazing!”
“Do you want to feel them?”
I very well knew what she meant, but I feigned innocence, “Feel what?”
“My boobs, silly!”
“Do you want me to feel them?”
“I want you to even suckle them, you dufus! But we should start somewhere… so why not start with feeling them?”
So, feel them I did. Rachna’s breasts were now soft mounds! She was big… I think she was even bigger than Ma, who was now pregnant with her second child with Sunil. As I said, eating and having an unhealthy lifestyle. Well, Rachna had that. But it was nice to feel her breasts. When I tried to lift them with my hands below them, they felt heavy. These might have been the heaviest breasts that I explored so far! I looked into her eyes. She smiled. I took it as a green signal and started to unbutton her blouse.
“Do it quickly… otherwise someone might come.” She whispered.
So, I made haste. She did not wear any bra. What I found was a pair of most amazing breasts that I had seen so far. She was certainly big. Her breast skin was very fair - in Hindi it is often described as saffron in milk! Her nipples had more of rose red color to them. Her complexion had changed, and she was fairer and her skin glowed.
“Beautiful…” I heard myself complimenting her.
She smiled. Triumphantly!
“Taste them…” she moaned.
I did. Of course, I did. I am powerless when presented with such an offer! Despite all that, somehow, I thought that she had planned for this. I could taste a sweet taste. That is not how nipples taste! They also smelled a bit flowery! It was possible that she might have applied little honey over them. That is some preparation! Of course, I was not complaining. If she had planned all that for me, it was a good planning. It made me very happy. After a few moments of suckling and licking, she pushed my head away.
“Now…” she said buttoning her blouse up, “let us stop… we can do it some other time.”
“When?”
“You tell me.”
