Shaalu was eager to meet Varun. Ever since their first meet, she was longing to see him again. Their friendship was struck on an online dating site; however, they had decided to take things forward. Shaalu still blushed at the accidental caress that happened, on their very first meet. Promising a lifelong friendship, Varun had touched her cheeks gently, setting off tingling sensations across her body. His glance had almost hypnotized her as her knees started melting. He had that effect on her.
She couldn’t wait to see him again, and wished fervently the cab would fly over the heavy evening-traffic that choked the streets to reach her love, Varun. Oh…yes, she realized she loved him a lot. Else, why would she be having thousand butterflies inside her stomach, creating a frenzy inside of her at the very thought of seeing that handsome dude all over again. He was an irresistible dish, she couldn’t wait to have. He had completely swept her off her feet. Shaalu stole a quick glance at the rear-view mirror of the cab, and adjusted her embroidered kurti. Hope Varun found her attractive enough, she thought, remembering the hours she wasted in front of the mirror earlier in the day preparing herself for this exciting date with Varun.
She could see Varun waiting at the spot they had agreed to meet. The cab came to a slow-halt as Shaalu began taking out the fare from her purse. Suddenly, she noticed something. Varun wasn’t alone. He was with someone. With a pout on the red-painted lips, Varun’s friend looked male…but…oh what was he wearing. Why was he in drag?
“Yes, Shaalu…he is my lover,” Varun began, as Shaalu got down the cab and went closer. “Let me introduce you to Dimpi aka Deepak. He loves me. I love him. And I love you too. I love you both. You both complete me. Let’s promise a life-long of togetherness, just the three of us. Remember, we already made a promise to each other individually? Dimpi darling too is ready to share me with you, and I guess, you have to do the same. Let’s all have fun, shall we? Come dear.” He stretched out his hands slowly, with Dimpy latched on one side of his arm already, stroking him possessively while flashing a smile at Shaalu too. "We'll make an awesome threesome, dear," Varun said again.
As she heard Varun say those words, Shaalu's world collapsed inside. Should she stay or run?

Tricky one - what compromises are we prepared to make to have who/what we want - personally I'd run ;)
ReplyDeleteinteresting... :-)

Run!! Run like the wind :) :D
ReplyDeleterun run and pretend she never heard his name.
ReplyDeleteToo late it seems from the photo of the trio. If it doesn't work out no worries for when you go as they still have each other.
ReplyDeleteWhat a twist ��....i would run away
ReplyDeleteintresting
ReplyDeleteLovely post.
ReplyDeleteEvery one likes Buy One Get One offer, no?
ReplyDeleteLove the twist in the tale :)
ReplyDeleteSexual orientation is individual's prerogative...nothing bad with that. But it's really difficult to 'share' someone you love.... Shaalu can at the most retain a good friendship, my personal opinion. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think just being friends should work
ReplyDeleteInteresting and hilarious !!
