CFORBIDDEN LOVE Chapter 5: Sorrow and happiness.
Chapter 5: Sorrow and happiness.


I got down from bus, Mom took me to a side, my heart thumped very fast, anticipating that she had sensed our closeness and was going to give me a good beat down.
Instead my mom said to me that every one of groom’s house would be having their dinner by 11o’clock and then leave. She asked me what was my intention, whether to stay or to go with others.
I said that I would be staying; I wanted to enjoy the marriage till end.
“OK” said mom and she gave me permission to stay.
So again, as the groom’s party arrived there was all chaos all over the place of the bride.
Paree was again lost somewhere in the midst of the huge crowd.
I sat there at the marriage venue with the groom, Subroto.
The Brahmins were performing all rituals. I had nothing to do except idle sitting.
At times I saw Paree roaming all over the place busy in doing nothing. She was definitely having a great time.
Once she came to me my heart started to beat louder ---“Hey, why are you sitting like a duck over here. Come with me.”
While she talked to me she did not looked at me. And I was also not looking at her.
---“Err no, it is better here. Lots of ladies are always with you. I feel bit uncomfortable surrounded by ladies.”
Paree ---“Ummm….. Ok then sit. But don’t forget to have your dinner. Everyone is going to leave after dinner, only few friends of Subroto Dada are going to stay.”
I told her that I have got permission from my mom that I will be staying.
She looked at me inquisitively ---“Do you mean to say that I should also stay?”
---“Depends upon you.” I laughed out.
Paree, bit angrily---“Ok, you will come to know what I can do?” and she went away.
Groom’s party finished their dinner. Every one of my relatives were about to leave.
Paree was adamant about staying with the groom.
My mom tried to persuade her ---“Paree, no ladies are going to stay, how can you stay here. What will your mom think?”
Paree playfully embraced my mom ---“You also treated me as your daughter once, so in that sense you are also like my mom, so just give me permission to stay. Please please please.”
On hearing her pleas, my mom called me ---“Hey, you, take care of her she is going to stay here all night and look after her else you will be in trouble.”
Inside my mind I was laughing very loudly, but with a very obedient look on my face I nodded and confirmed them that I would look after Paree.
Paree winked at me. She kissed my mom’s cheeks ---“My good Didi Mom, thank you very much. I will not be a naughty girl now.”
We bid adieu to the groom’s party.
Paree then again went away somewhere. I saw Paree running down to the ritual place with my shawl around her.

From behind, her twin fleshy bottoms, swayed beautifully in front of my eyes. I felt the urge to touch those soft mushy mounds and kiss those.
As the night grew older, the crowd got thinner. People from bride’s house were also leaving. From groom’s party, there were only five persons present, two of Subroto’s friends, eldest brother and Paree and myself.
The main ritual was about to start and it was already 12 o’clock in dead night. Paree stood by my side, close enough that our arms were touching each other’s. Paree’s fingers sometimes brushing on my mine sending electrical pulses on my arms. We were avoiding to look into each other’s eyes, by looking straight to the fire of the ritual.
One lady came to Paree and asked whether she needs to retire somewhere for some forty winks. She nodded her head negatively.
I requested Paree to take a brisk walk with me, which she obediently accepted.
We were walking down the lonely dark road. Paree wrapped my shawl closely over her body to get bit of warmth. Her arms folded across her chest as she walked close to me. She was...
