An Ideal Wife (13 page)

All of Sameer’s friends started laughing as soon as they stepped out of the police station and they continued to laugh till they reached their cars, which were parked good 200 metres away from the police station. Sameer resisted for quite some time but finally ended up losing his control.

‘Aise kutton kee tarah kyon has rahe ho?’

‘I told you all men are the same and more so when they have a beautiful wife like Payal,’ Jimmy once again poked Sameer.

‘I told you earlier and I’m repeating it again, I am not like you guys,’ Sameer emphasised every word.

‘So you mean to say, it was Payal’s idea to start in the car, right?’ Jimmy inquired and everyone around him started laughing.

Sameer was unable to answer whereas Payal just kept smiling.

‘I know she is extremely sexy but Goa was just a few hours away,’ a woman colleague also joined in the bandwagon proving the age-old idiom
‘Behti Ganga Mein Haath Dhona’.

‘Enough is enough, thanks for bailing me out. Just go back to Mumbai and remember this can’t go beyond you guys,’ Sameer reminded them that he was still their boss.

‘Don’t worry, we will take it to our graves,’ another colleague assured with mock solemnity.

‘But should we not come to Goa with you?’ Jimmy spoke with a serious face.

‘Kiss khushi mein?’

‘Just thinking, Goa is still a few hours away and you might need us at the next police station.’

Jimmy ran after speaking and Sameer followed him, ready to tear him to bits. Everyone (including Payal) was laughing at the classic Tom and Jerry chase. After five minutes of the chase, Jimmy was finally caught.

‘Okay okay, I give up,’ Jimmy raised his hands and promised not to tease him any further.

After sometime, all of them left for their respective destinations.

Sameer wasn’t happy about the whole incident whereas Payal was taking it lightly and laughing at what they’d had to go through in one night. Sameer didn’t like Payal’s take on the whole situation.

‘You too were laughing with them and what’s more you are still laughing!’

‘Sorry but I couldn’t control myself.’

‘It was all because of you!’

‘Then why didn’t you tell them?’

‘What? That my wife wanted to have…’

Sameer looked at Payal who started laughing again. He couldn’t control himself either and joined her.

They continued to drive till they reached their destination, a 5 star resort located on the Southwest Coast of Goa overlooking the Arabian Sea. It was one of the best hotels in Goa, which was built amidst seventy-five acres of lush green gardens. The place had a unique way of slowing down time to a tranquil tempo.

The gatekeeper rushed towards them and opened the door of their car. Payal and Sameer stepped out of the car. Sameer fished out an envelope from his pocket and very subtly handed it to the gatekeeper, a well-prepared tip for his services to get their luggage from the car to the reception. Sameer handed over the car keys to the valet and both of them went inside the hotel.

The hotel had an awesome lobby decorated royally with many expensive paintings. Exquisitely designed furniture and the Italian marble flooring added extra touch to the royal look. There was a fountain right in the middle of the lobby and it created many different images, which were further enhanced by the special lighting designed especially for that image. The most noted image among those images was that of the Heart, Arrow and Cupid.

After walking past the fountain they reached the reception desk.

‘Welcome sir, welcome ma’am,’ the receptionist greeted.

Sameer nodded, saying ‘We have a booking.’

‘Sure sir, by what name?’

‘Mrs and Mr Sameer Kapoor,’ Payal took over, as Sameer got busy with the luggage brought in by the gatekeeper.

The receptionist looked through the computer and got busy with the data entry into the card key of their king size suite.

‘Madam, here is the key to your honeymoon suite, have a great time,’ the receptionist smiled as she handed over the card key to Payal.

‘Thanks! Is our honeymoon bed ready? I had especially asked for it,’ Payal enquired innocently.

Payal’s innocence brought cute smiles to the faces of employees manning the reception area. They looked at each other, smiled again and then looked at Sameer and Payal. Sameer was feeling a little embarrassed to see the reaction of the employees.

‘I will just check ma’am.’

The receptionist dialled a number and waited for the other person to respond. In the meantime, an embarrassed Sameer spoke to Payal in a low tone.

‘Let’s go.’

‘Hang on; let me make sure that at least the bed is ready.’

Sameer looked around and found all eyes plastered on them. He shook his head in embarrassment. There was an eerie silence in the atmosphere, which was broken by the voice of the receptionist.

‘Yes ma’am, everything is ready as ordered by you.’

‘Thanks a bunch, just another request.’

‘Yes ma’am?’

‘Please make sure that no one should disturb us till the time we call for something.’

‘Sure ma’am, I’ll make a note of it.’

Both left for their honeymoon suite with a porter carrying their luggage. After walking a few steps, Sameer turned back and realized everyone was still staring at them. He once again shook his head in disbelief but continued to walk.

As they reached the lift area they realised one of the lifts was being repaired. Sameer wanted to make sure that their luggage comes with them so he asked the porter to join them in their lift. The porter’s eyes said it all; he would kill to be around Payal a little longer.

In the lift, Payal put her hands around Sameer’s waist. Though he enjoyed it, he a felt little uncomfortable in the presence of the porter. He resisted her gently and looked at the porter who was ogling shamelessly.

‘Sir, you are extremely lucky,’ the porter finally said.

Payal started laughing whereas Sameer got angry with the porter.

‘Why don’t you just do your work?’

The porter got a little scared and immediately pressed a button on the panel in the lift. After a couple of minutes they alighted on the 5th floor.

The passage was 10 feet wide and decorated with lots of love paintings from different parts of the world. The theme of this floor was love and especially designed for honeymoon couples. Payal was quite happy to see all the paintings whereas Sameer had his eyes on the porter.

The porter guided them to room number 502, opened the door and took the luggage inside.

Payal handed over a ? 1000 note to the porter rather brazenly. Sameer felt she should have been a little more polished and discreet about the tipping; rather she should have let him handle it.

‘Till we call for something no one should disturb us. Okay?’

‘Okay ma’am.’

‘Also please remind the reception.’

‘Sure ma’am,’ the porter replied with a huge smile on his face (not sure if it was for the tip or what he was thinking was going to happen in the room).

He walked towards the door, turned back and smiled again and then finally left the room. The moment he left, Sameer spoke to Payal.

‘Arre kucch to dekha karo!’

‘That’s what I am doing.’

Sameer looked at Payal but realised she was looking at the honeymoon bed. He also looked at the bed.

‘Wow! Amaziiiiiiing!’

Before he could finish, Payal threw him on the bed and was on top of him. They made love passionately. After some passionate lovemaking, Sameer went for a quick shower. Payal joined him soon. They again made love in the shower and both came out of the bathroom radiant.

During the same night they ended up making love for few more times up to a point where Sameer was extremely exhausted but Payal was still active like a tigress.

Sameer tried to stop her but Payal was unstoppable and she slipped a Viagra in his mouth. Viagra did the trick for Payal as Sameer got excited in just a few minutes and they ended up making love one more time. Payal told him that she has a full quota of Viagra. Sameer just couldn’t believe his ears.

Sameer and Payal stayed in the hotel for seven more days but during this time they never ventured out of their room and spent their time either in lovemaking in various corners of the room and bathroom or eating. Gossip about the duo spread in the hotel like wildfire. People started gathering outside their room for fun. Inside the room, Payal played the tigress to perfection while Sameer was happy to be the deer in the game.

Encounter with truth

O
n the eighth day Sameer and Payal decided to check out of the hotel and opened the door of their room. They were amazed to see that many people were gathered outside their room but they went past them without comment. Few of the people followed them not only in the lift but also right to the reception area.

As they neared the reception area, one lady couldn’t control herself and walked up to Payal.

‘Are you okay?’ there was genuine concern in her voice.

Payal looked at her questioningly, wondering what the lady meant.

‘I have never seen a sex maniac like him,’ another lady intervened, blaming Sameer.

Sameer was feeling very uncomfortable and embarrassed whereas Payal was smiling inside.

After a minute, a group of men came up to Sameer and started congratulating him.

‘Awesome man, you are the real deal; finally the venerable stud.’

‘Bhai,
please share the secret with us.
Biwi ke taane sun sun ke kaan pak gayen hain!’

Sameer walked on without saying a word; he was just too ashamed to say anything. He could not even muster the courage to look up to respond to any of these masked taunts the men were throwing at him. And then to really top his embarrassment to the hilt, he overheard a few women speaking to each other.

‘I wish my husband was like him.’

‘It’s been ages…I thought things would change with this new studly husband I’d bagged for myself but appearances can be sooooo deceptive,’ helplessness was quite evident in her voice.

‘I think I am ready for a change,’ said another lady. Walking like a predator, stalking and sizing up its prey, she shimmied towards Sameer and started caressing his shoulders. Sameer tried to move away from her shocked at the blatant seduction, but in no time many other ladies pounced on him. Payal started laughing looking at Sameer’s plight. Was this woman for real? Other women were pawing her husband and she was laughing?

Payal’s laughter continued in the car even while driving back to Mumbai from Goa.

‘Kya baat hai soniye, mar javan gud kha ke,’
Payal imitated the horny women, caressing Sameer’s shoulder with that special dirty expression on her face.

‘You think it’s a joke…why can’t you control yourself?’ Sameer couldn’t hide his skyrocketing anger anymore.

It had no effect on Payal and she continued to laugh. After about 10 hours of eventless driving (though passing Ratnagiri gave Sameer the jitters) they reached their apartment complex in Mumbai.

While Sameer was parking the car, many residents from his apartment complex approached them and congratulated them on their marriage. The congratulatory streak continued till they reached the lobby. True to their nosy nature, many of them even complained about not being invited for the celebrations. Sameer was successfully negotiating all the queries till a woman, rather irritatingly, took it upon her meddlesome self to ask them how their honeymoon had been! Sameer just wanted to run away and hide; he just couldn’t take the teasing, knowing, mocking glances anymore!

Payal just grabbed his hand and ran into an empty lift, giggling all the way to their apartment.

‘Honey, I am going to make some coffee for myself. Do you want some?’ Sameer asked after dumping their luggage in the bedroom. He was breathing easy once inside his domain.

‘No, I think I will prefer some wine and then some night action,’ Payal winked at Sameer.

Sameer’s face turned red thinking about what he was going to get in the night. Payal kissed him and went to shower.

While Payal was in the shower, Sameer was running helter-skelter to find something to save himself. His luck ran out as Payal came back wearing a sexy gown. As she walked closer to him he got a hold of something, which brought him a huge sigh of relief.
